Solution Overview

Problem

Existing polyimide resins face challenges in achieving simultaneous improvements in heat resistance, insulation, mechanical properties, and adhesion to conductors, often leading to appearance defects in insulating coatings.

Innovation Solution

A polyimide varnish is formulated with an azine-based diamine monomer, specifically 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine derivatives, to enhance adhesion to wires, incorporating a dianhydride monomer like pyromellitic dianhydride and a first diamine monomer such as 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether, with a balanced composition to ensure excellent adhesion and physical properties.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite diamine system combining aromatic diamine (for heat resistance) and cyc aliphatic diamine (for adhesion) to create a polyimide resin that simultaneously achieves both heat resistance and conductor adhesion. This composite approach allows the resin to exhibit properties of both constituent diamines, resolving the contradiction between heat resistance and adhesion.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of the diamine monomers by specifying a weight ratio range (95:5 to 50:50 of aromatic to cyc aliphatic diamine). By adjusting these compositional parameters, the resin can be optimized to balance heat resistance and adhesion properties according to specific application requirements.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent carefully controls the compositional parameters of the diamine monomers, specifying that aromatic diamine content should be 50-95 wt% and cyc aliphatic diamine content should be 5-50 wt%. This parameter optimization ensures that adhesion improvement does not compromise the thermal and mechanical properties essential for insulating coating performance.
