Solution Overview

Problem

Existing polyamic acid compositions and polyimide resins do not exhibit excellent adhesion to conductors while maintaining heat resistance, insulation, and mechanical properties, leading to appearance defects in insulating coatings.

Innovation Solution

A polyamic acid composition comprising specific diamine monomers, including a flexible diamine monomer with three or more benzene rings and a triazine-based diamine monomer, along with a dianhydride monomer, to enhance adhesion and mechanical properties, and a solvent system, and a nanosilica surface-modified with organosilane to improve dispersibility and adhesion.

If general polyamic acid compositions are used to form insulating coatings, then heat resistance and insulation properties are achieved, but adhesion to conductors deteriorates leading to appearance defects

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specific diamine monomer containing a triazine ring structure at particular positions (where R1-R6 are specific groups including -NH2, -OH, or H). This creates local functional regions within the polyimide chain that specifically enhance adhesion to copper conductors while the overall polyimide structure maintains its heat resistance and insulation properties. The triazine ring acts as a local adhesion-promoting moiety without compromising the global thermal stability of the polymer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite polyimide structure by incorporating a specially designed diamine monomer (with triazine ring) into the polyamic acid composition along with conventional diamine monomers. This composite approach combines the adhesion benefits of the triazine-containing monomer with the thermal and mechanical properties of the overall polyimide system, achieving simultaneous improvement in both adhesion and heat resistance.

Inventive Principle:

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional polyamic acid composition is used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but adhesion properties deteriorate requiring complex formulations

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of the diamine monomer by incorporating a triazine ring with specific substituent groups (R1-R6) at defined positions. This structural parameter change fundamentally alters the adhesion mechanism of the polyimide to copper conductors. The composition maintains simplicity by using a defined molar ratio range (0.1-10 mol% of the triazine-containing diamine monomer) rather than requiring complex multi-component formulations.
