Abstract

ABSTRACT

A high performance laminating adhesive material is prepared using one or more epoxy components which inter-react with a high molecular weight polyester component through a two-stage reaction sequence. The first stage of the sequence is the reaction of a isocyanate component with a polyester component. The stage of the sequence is the reaction of the isocyanate/polyester component with the epoxy component(s). The result of the reaction process is an adhesive material providing a flexible, high temperature resistant, fully crosslinked adhesive with good Z-axis sta-bility without the evolution of by-products. The adhesive material has application to the bonding of polyimide films, copper or other metal foils and hardboards for use in the manufacture of flexible, hardboard or multilayer substrates as well as surface to surface bonding of other materials.

A HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY BASED LAMINATING ADHESIVE
by Thomas F. Gardeski and Diane G. Novak BACKGROUND

During the past quarter century, the growth of the electronic circuits industry at an unrivaled pace has resul-ted in the development of higher performance materials of construction. However, with the development of higher per-formance materials of construction has not resulted in thedevelopment of corresponding high performance adhesive materials and systems to bond the materials of construction together, especially in severe environmental conditions found in under-the-hood automotive and military applica-tions. Adhesive materials and systems that are currentlyavailable meet somP of the requirements for such properties as peel strength, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, high temperature stability, dimensional stability especially in the Z-axis direction and ease of processing, but typic-ally fail to meet one or more of the requirements for one ormore of the properties.

A need has therefore been felt for an adhesive material that meets all the requisite property requirements for severe environmental conditions while retaining the ease of application.

Z~ 3 SUMMARY

It is an object of the present invention to pro-vide an improved adhesive material.

It is a feature of the present invention to pro-vide an improved material suitable for US2 with electronicconstruction materials.

It is yet another feature of the present invention to provide an adhesive material that requires a two stage reaction process for bonding.

It is yet a further feature of the present inven-tion to combine an isocyanate component, a polyester compo-nent and one or more epoxy components using a two stage reaction to provid~ a high performance adhesive material.

The foregoing and other features are accomplished, according to the present invention, by combining at least one epoxy component chosen from the flexible bis-epi and the hard novolac epoxy families and at least one high moleculax weight polyester component along with an isocyanate cure mechanism. The isocyanate curing agent and the polyester component interact in a first reaction stage. The isocya-nate/polyester compound resulting from the first reaction stage and the epoxy components are combined. The resulting combination can be applied to a surface of a laminate layer or another first surface. A second surface can be placed in contact with the first sur~ace and a second reaction stage permitted to take p]ace, forming the high performance bond.

These and other features will be understood by the reading of the following description.

DESCRIPTION

The composition of materials of the present invention comprises at least one and preferably two epoxy components selected from the flexible bis-epi and hard novolac families, such as Celanese Epi-Rez-5132 and Dow D.E.N. 438 respectively; at least one high molecular weight polyester component such as DuPont's 49002 or DeSoto's 301 resin systems; and an isocyanate cure mechanism such as Upjohn's PAPI-135 or Mobay's Mondur MRS.

The cure sequence of the present invention consists of first reacting the isocyanate component with the hydroxyl groups which terminate the polyester component as shown in the following reaction sequence known in the related art.

where (R)x represents a high molecular weight polyester repeating unit with alcohol type hydroxyl end group func-tionality. This reaction takes place at room temperature 2~ 3~
slowly and more rapidly with heating of the composition to approximately 250P. The secondary reaction, which is unique to the present invention, is comprised of reacting the - - group in the formed urethane linkage with the epoxide Cf~C groups of the epoxy components as follows:

Example of the Process The components of the adhesiv~ material of the present invention, according to one embodiment, are: a polyester resin having a solids content of 17-20~ composed of DuPont 49002 base in a solvent mixture of 90~ methylene chloride to 10% cyclohexanone by weight; an epoxy novolac at 85~ solids composed of Dow DEN 438-EK85 in methylethylke-tone; and a bis-epi epoxy composed of Celanese Epi-Rez 5132 at 100% solids; and a curative component of a polyfunctional isocyanate sold by Mobay under the trade name Mondur MRS.
The components can be combined according to the following two procedures:

Procedure l) The adhesive coating composition is made by adding 80% by solids of the polyester component to 10% by solids of the epoxy novolac to 10% by solids of the bis-epi epoxy to 1.2 parts by weight of the isocyanate in an open container without agitation. The composition is then agi-tated well for 1-5 minutes. The container is then capped with an air-tight lid for 30 minutes to allow for the onset of isocyanate/polyester reaction; or 3~) Procedure 2) The polyester and isocyanate are combined, thoroughly mixed, then allowed to stand at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the epoxy additions to allow onset of the isocyanate/hydroxyl reaction.

The adhesive coating composition resulting from either of the foregoing procedures is then applied by means of the reverse roll coating technique to a 1 mil polyimide film to yield a 1 mil thick dry coat weight. Drying (i.e., removal of the solvents) is accomplished through a 75 foot-3 zone oven at 212F and 25 feet per minute. The coated substrate is then positioned next to the treated side of 1 oz. copper foil, wherein the copper foil surface is treated with Oak CMC-lll compound (to enhance bondability).
The polyimide film and copper foil are heated to 300F to 325F with an applied pressure of 80 psi (pounds/square inch) to 120 psi through a coater/laminator combining station as part of a continuous operation. The resulting composite is rolled onto a 6" core, left at room temperature for one to seven days then post cured as follows:
2 hours @ 150F
2 hours @ 275F
2 hours @ 350F
The resulting composite structure exhibited the properties shown in Table I when tested per ANSI/IPC-FC-232B and 241 B

The polyester compound of the preferred embodiment is a high molecular weight hydroxyl terminated polymer, while the curative compound is a polymeric isocyanate. In the preferred embodiment, a combination of a flexible bis-epi epoxy compound and a hard novolac epoxy compound are both included to achieve the properties of both compounds.
The second reaction provides a fully cross-linked network between the - - groups formed in the first reaction and the ~-~ in the epoxy components without evolution of by-products.

z~ o The present invention provides what is believed to be the first adhesive system with extremely balanced proper-ties and the added benefit of superior Z-axis stability through a unique and here-to-now undescribed cure mecha-nism. More specifically, the present invention provides thefirst epoxy based laminating adhesive which can be continu-ously processed and cured without the evolution of by-pro-ducts to provide a flexible bond-ply with overall properties superior to any currently available system with the added property of excellent Z-axis stability. The adhesive mater-ial is applicable to film substrates (e.g., polyimide), foil substrates (e.g., copper) and hardboard substrates (e.g., FR4 (fiberglass impregnated) hardboard).

The foregoing description is included to illustrate the operation of the preferred embodiment and is not meant to limit the scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is to be limited only by the following claims.
From the foregoing description, many variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art that would yet be encompassed by the spirit and scope of the invention.
