Description

Thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring process and molded article including the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring and a molded article comprising the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring, which exhibits good characteristics in terms of plating reliability, impact resistance, flowability, and the like, and a molded article including the same.
Background
A Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) process may be used to form a metal layer on at least a portion of the surface of a molded article produced from the thermoplastic resin composition. The LDS process refers to a process of modifying a plating target area on the surface of a molded article to have characteristics suitable for plating by irradiating the plating target area with a laser beam. For this reason, the thermoplastic resin composition needs to contain an additive for laser direct structuring (LDS additive) which can form a metal core upon irradiation with a laser beam. The LDS additive is decomposed to produce a metal core. Further, the area irradiated with the laser beam has a rough surface. Due to this metal core and surface roughness, the laser modified region becomes suitable for electroplating.
The LDS process allows for rapid and economical formation of electronic/circuitry on three-dimensional molded articles. For example, the LDS process may be advantageously used to manufacture antennas for portable electronic devices, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antennas, and the like.
In recent years, with an increase in the trend of weight and thickness reduction of portable equipment devices, there has been an increasing demand for thermoplastic resin compositions that can exhibit excellent mechanical properties and molding processability (flowability). Further, as the thickness of a fine pattern (plating area) of an electric/electronic circuit such as a portable electronic device or the like becomes thinner, there may be a problem that plating reliability is deteriorated due to plating peeling.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring, which exhibits good properties in terms of plating reliability, impact resistance, flowability, and the like, and a molded article including the same.
Background art of the present invention is disclosed in korean patent laid-open publication No. 2011-0018319 and the like.

The molded article 10 according to the embodiment may be a circuit carrier for manufacturing an antenna. For example, the molded article 10 may be manufactured by preparing the preform 10 by injection molding of a thermoplastic resin composition, and irradiating a specific region (a portion where the metal layer 20 is to be formed) on the surface of the preform 10 with a laser beam, followed by metallizing (plating) the irradiated region to form the metal layer 20.
In this embodiment, the LDS additive included in the preform 10 decomposes under laser beam irradiation to form metal nuclei. In addition, the laser beam irradiated region has a surface roughness suitable for plating. Here, the laser beam may have a wavelength of about 248nm, about 308nm, about 355nm, about 532nm, about 1,064nm, or about 10,600 nm.
In this embodiment, the metallization may be performed by any typical electroplating process. For example, metallization may include immersing the laser beam irradiated preform 10 in at least one electroless plating bath to form a metal layer 20 (conductive path) on the laser beam irradiated regions of the surface of the preform 10. Here, examples of electroless plating may include copper plating, gold plating, nickel plating, silver plating, zinc plating, and tin plating.
Those skilled in the art can readily produce molded articles having a metal layer on at least a portion of their surface by LDS.

The following properties of the prepared samples were evaluated by the following methods, and the evaluation results are shown in tables 1 to 3.
Evaluation of characteristics
(1) Electroplating reliability: an injection-molded sample having dimensions of 50mm × 90mm × 3.2mm was left at 25 ℃ for 6 hours, and then the surface of the sample was activated in the form of stripes by laser forming. Then, a 35 μm-thick copper layer was formed on the activated surface of the sample by electroplating (electroless copper plating), and left in the chamber at 85 ℃ and 85% RH for 120 hours, followed by engraving 100 meshes each having a size of 1mm × 1mm on the plating layer (copper layer), and then counting the number of meshes remaining on the plating layer when the tape was peeled off from the plating layer.
(2) Notched Izod impact resistance (kgf □ cm/cm): notched Izod impact strength was measured according to ASTM D256 on 1/8 "thick samples.
(3) Fluidity: at a molding temperature of 260 ℃, a mold temperature of 60 ℃,1,500 kgf/cm2Is injected in a spiral mold having dimensions of 15mm wide and 1mm thick, and the spiral flow length (unit: mm) is measured under the conditions of the injection pressure of (1) and the injection rate of 120 mm/s.
