The epoxy resin is cured by various molding methods such as casting, laminating, compression molding, transfer molding, and filament winding. The molded article may be made of a composite material containing glass fibers, carbon fibers, and the like.
The cured product has excellent dimensional stability during heating. In addition, even when a solder heat resistance, particularly a lead-free solder having a melting point higher than that of a general solder (e.g., 288 ℃), is applied, excellent solder heat resistance is exhibited.
Therefore, the cured product is suitable for use as an electronic substrate material, a sealing material for a semiconductor element, and other various electronic component materials.

The wave number was confirmed to be 2270cm by IR spectroscopy-1The absorption peaks due to the left and right isocyanate groups were almost disappeared to obtain polycarbodiimide compound (a2) (wherein n in formula (1) is 16).

< imidazole Compounds >

2E4 MZ: 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole; "Curezol 2E4 MZ", manufactured by Sizhou Kasei Kogyo
2 MZ-H: 2-methylimidazole; "Curezol 2 MZ-H", manufactured by four national chemical industries, Ltd
2 PHZ-PW: 2-phenyl-4, 5-dihydroxymethylimidazole; "Curezol 2 PHZ-PW", manufactured by four national chemical industries, Ltd
TBZ: 2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo [1,2-a ] benzimidazole; "Curezol TBZ", manufactured by Sination chemical industries Co., Ltd
< epoxy resin >
N-690: "Epiclon (registered trademark) N-690", available from DIC corporation, epoxy equivalent 214, cresol novolak type
HP-7200: epiclon (registered trademark) HP-7200, epoxy equivalent 259 manufactured by DIC corporation, dicyclopentadiene type
(example 1)
An epoxy resin composition obtained by adding an epoxy resin curing agent (1) to 100 parts by mass of epoxy resin N-690 was hot-pressed by a Mini test press (manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisaku-Sho Ltd., a pressure of 3.0MPa) under curing conditions of a curing temperature of 200 ℃ and a curing time of 2 hours to obtain a sheet-like cured product having a thickness of 1mm, wherein the epoxy resin curing agent (1) was prepared by blending 83 parts by mass of a polycarbodiimide compound (A1) and 1.8 parts by mass of 1.2 DMZ.
(examples 2 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 5)
Epoxy resin compositions in which the epoxy resin curing agent and the epoxy resin were set to the types and blending amounts shown in the following table 1 were subjected to a curing reaction under the same curing conditions as in example 1 to obtain respective cured products.
[ measurement evaluation ]
The following measurement evaluations were made for each cured product of the epoxy resin compositions prepared in the above examples and comparative examples. The results of these measurements are shown in table 1 below.
< reaction Rate >
For the epoxy resin composition, the wave number from the benzene ring was 1500cm as measured by IR spectroscopy-1The wave number of the carbodiimide group was determined at 2150cm based on the peak height of the absorbance at the left and right sides-1The ratio of the peak height of the absorbance to the peak height was defined as the pre-reaction peak intensity ratio P1. Further, the peak heights use the baseline corrected values.
Similarly, the peak height ratio of a cured product obtained by curing the epoxy resin composition was also determined and used as the peak intensity ratio P after the reaction2
Then, from the pre-reaction peak intensity ratio P1And the peak intensity ratio P after the reaction2The reaction rate X [% by the following formula (3)]。
X[%]=[1-P2/P1]×100 (3)
The reaction rate X represents the reactivity of the carbodiimide group in the epoxy resin curing agent with respect to the epoxy resin, and a larger numerical value indicates a higher reactivity of the carbodiimide group.
< coefficient of mean linear expansion >
A test piece 5mm square was cut out from a cured product of a sheet-like epoxy resin composition having a thickness of 1 mm.
The temperature of the test piece was increased at 10 ℃/min by a thermomechanical analyzer ("TMA 6100", manufactured by hitachi High-tech Science), and the change in the length of the test piece in the thickness direction was measured in a temperature range of 30 to 300 ℃ to determine the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the average linear expansion coefficient. The average linear expansion coefficient in a temperature range of 30 ℃ or more and glass transition temperature (Tg) or less is represented by α 1, and the average linear expansion coefficient in a temperature range of Tg or more and 300 ℃ or less is represented by α 2.
In comparative examples 1 to 3, 2 peaks considered to be Tg were detected, and the peak temperature on the low temperature side was used as Tg for the reference in obtaining the average linear expansion coefficient. When the epoxy resin and the polycarbodiimide compound (A) were not sufficiently reacted and a large amount of unreacted polycarbodiimide compound remained, 2 peaks were detected.
The average linear expansion coefficient varies depending on the type of the epoxy resin, but the smaller the value, the smaller the volume change due to heat, and it can be said that the cured product has excellent dimensional stability against temperature change. That is, in the case where the types of epoxy resins are the same, it can be said that the smaller the value of the average linear expansion coefficient, the more excellent the effect of improving the dimensional stability during heating by adding the epoxy resin curing agent is provided.
< solder Heat resistance >
A5 cm square sample was cut out of a cured product of a sheet-like epoxy resin composition having a thickness of 1 mm. Further, as a sample for evaluation of solder heat resistance, a cured product obtained by hot pressing in a state of being sandwiched by copper foils having a thickness of 35 μm was used.
The sample was immersed in a solder bath (lead-free solder) at 288 ℃, and the heat resistance time was measured as the time (maximum 60 seconds) until visible swelling appeared on the appearance.
When the heat resistance time exceeds 50 seconds, the solder heat resistance is determined to be good.
