【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は部分的に核水添された多官能性芳香族エポキシ樹脂及びこれを含有する硬化性組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
多官能性芳香族エポキシ樹脂、例えばフェノ−ルノボラック、o−クレゾ−ルノボラック型のエポキシ樹脂、ビフェニル、ナフト−ル骨格を有するノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、あるいはアラルキルフェノ−ル型(通称ザイロック型)エポキsシ樹脂等の多官能性芳香族エポキシ樹脂は、電子、電気材料、塗料用、材料として広く使われている。一方、芳香核が全て核水添されたノボラック型エポキシ樹脂は、特開平8−48670、特開平8−53370、特開平10−204002等に記載されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとしている課題】
芳香族エポキシ樹脂は、電子、電気材料用途等に詳しく研究され、各種硬化剤との組み合わせにより、種々の特性を持った硬化物が得られている。
芳香族の特性である着色しやすい傾向を嫌う光関連分野の材料としては、例えば芳香核が全て核水添されたビスフェノールA型のエポキシ化物が使用されている。しかし、各種の用途に応じて、軟化点、粘度、反応性、溶剤溶解性等を変える要望があり、また、反応性の違う2種類のエポキシ基を有するエポキシ化合物を作り、これらを用いてIPNと略称される相互貫入型高分子や、フィルム適性を有するエポキシ基含有高分子を得る技術が望まれている。
本発明は、これらの要望を達成する方法として、芳香族性エポキシ基と脂肪族性エポキシ基を同一分子内に有するエポキシ樹脂及びこれを含有する硬化性組成物を提案するものである。

【発明の実施形態】
以下本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明の、分子中の芳香核が部分的に核水素添加(以下、核水添という)された多官能性芳香族エポキシ樹脂を得るためには、ビスフェノ−ルA型エポキシ樹脂、フェノールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、o−クレゾールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、ナフトールとクレゾールの混合ノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、アラルキルフェノール型エポキシ樹脂(式(1))、ビフェニルジイルジメチレン−フェノール型エポキシ樹脂(式(2))、ビフェノールまたはビスフェノールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂(式(3))等のうち分子中に平均3個以上の芳香核と2個以上のエポキシ基を有するエポキシ化合物を原料として、核水添するか、

ヒドロキシ末端フェノキシ樹脂、フェノールノボラック、o−クレゾールノボラック、ナフトールとクレゾールの混合ノボラック、アラルキルフェノール型フェノール樹脂、ビフェニルジイルジメチレン−フェノール樹脂、ビフェノールまたはビスフェノールノボラック等のうち分子中に平均3個以上の芳香核と2個以上の水酸基を有する芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物を部分的に核水添して得られた化合物を、エピクロロヒドリンによりエポキシ化して得ることができる。この場合は、核水添を受けてアルコール性となった水酸基が完全にエポキシ化されない場合もある。
本発明のエポキシ樹脂は上記に限定されるものでなく、平均3個以上の芳香核と2個以上のエポキシ基を有するエポキシ化合物が部分的に核水添された化合物全てを含有する。
尚、本発明における芳香核の数は、例えば、ナフタレン、ビフェニルでは2個、アンスラセンでは3個といったように数え、他の縮合環もこれに準ずる。また、核水添の割合については後述する。
【0011】
本発明は、部分的核水添により軟化点、粘度、反応性、溶剤溶解性等を変えたり、また、反応性の違う2種類のエポキシ基を有するエポキシ樹脂を作り、これらを用いてIPNと略称される相互貫入型高分子やフィルム適性を有するエポキシ基含有高分子を得るために、芳香族性エポキシ基と脂肪族性エポキシ基を同一分子内に有するエポキシ樹脂を得ることを目的としたものであり、全ての芳香核が核水添されたものと全く核水添されていない芳香族エポキシ樹脂の混合物とは、本質的に異なるものである。例えば1例として、芳香族性のエポキシ基と脂肪族性のエポキシ基の硬化剤との反応性は、場合によって2〜3倍芳香族性エポキシ基の方が速いため、上記の混合物の場合は硬化反応の過程で、芳香族性エポキシ化合物が先に反応し、脂肪族エポキシ化合物が高分子鎖に組み入れられず、完全硬化とならずに硬度が低いものしか得られないことがある。
このために、本発明では、全ての芳香核が核水添されたものを極力抑えるため、原料(芳香族エポキシ樹脂又は芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物)の分子中の芳香核の平均個数は3以上、分子中のエポキシ基又は水酸基の数は2個以上であり、芳香核の核水添の割合は、20〜80%、好ましくは30〜65%程度にする。
【0012】
芳香族エポキシ化合物、芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物に対する核水添を行うに当たっては、いずれの場合も金属触媒を用い、例えば白金、パラジューム、ロジューム、ルテニウム、ニッケル等が使用できる。これらは単体、錯体、酸化物、炭素やアルミナ等に担持された形等いずれでも使用可能である。触媒の使用量は、金属として、水添される樹脂の0.001〜2重量%程度である。
反応は必要により溶媒を使用する。
反応溶媒としては、ジブチルエーテル、テトラハイドロフラン、ジオキサン、ジグライム、エチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、エチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル又はプロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート等のエーテル類、酢酸エチル又は酢酸ブチル等のエステル類、メタノール又はエタノール等のアルコール類、ジメチルフォルムアルデヒド、ジメチルイミダゾリジノン又はN−メチルピロリドン等の非プロトン性極性溶媒等が使用され、その使用量は、芳香族エポキシ化合物又は芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物の2〜15重量倍である。
【0013】
反応は、オートクレーブ中に原料及び触媒並びに必要により溶媒を仕込み、通常2〜200気圧、好ましくは10〜100気圧の水素圧にて実施する。反応温度は、通常25〜150℃、好ましくは40〜120℃であり、水素の吸収を見ながら吸収された分を供給し、0.5〜20時間かけて反応させる。水素添加率は、芳香核が全て水添されたときに必要とされる水素量と実際に反応時に供給された水素量で判定する。芳香核の水添はエポキシ環の水添に比べて速いため、上記条件を選べば、エポキシ基の水添は問題にならない。また、本発明では、部分的にしか核水添を行わないため、わずかにエポキシ基の水添が起こっても影響は少ない。
【0014】
上記の水添法において、原料として芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物を使用すると部分的に水添された本発明の芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物が得られ、下記するようにエポキシ化して本発明のエポキシ樹脂の原料となるばかりでなく、例えばエポキシ樹脂の硬化剤として公知のエポキシ樹脂や硬化触媒と組み合わせて使用することもできる。
【0015】
本発明の芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物のエポキシ化は、定法により行うことができる。即ち、理論量より過剰のエピクロロヒドリンの存在下、苛性ソーダ、苛性カリ等のアルカリを加えて、場合によっては反応により生成する水を共沸蒸留によって除きながら、40〜120℃で、1〜10時間反応させて行う。この際、テトラメチルアンモニウムヒドロキサイド、ベンジルトリメチルアンモニウムブロマイド等の相関移動触媒、ジメチルフォルムアルデヒド、ジメチルイミダゾリジノン、ジオキサン、メトキシエタノール、エタノール、ブタノール等の極性溶媒を少量添加することも可能である。これらの相関移動触媒は、本発明の芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物の0.01〜0.1重量倍使用することができる。また、溶媒は、本発明の芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物に対して0.1〜10重量倍使用することができる。
【0016】
このようにして得られた本発明の部分核水添された芳香族エポキシ樹脂は、硬化剤、触媒とともに硬化性組成物とすることができる。ここで用いる硬化剤は、ジエチレントリアミン、ジアミノジフェニルメタン、ジアミノジフェニルスルフォン、ジシアンジアミド等のアミン系硬化剤、無水ナジック酸、無水フタル酸、無水ハイミック酸、無水マレイン酸、無水トリメリット酸等の酸無水物硬化剤、フェノールノボラック、アラルキルフェノール、トリスフェノールメタン、ナフトールとクレゾールの混合ノボラック等の多価フェノール系硬化剤等があげられ、これらの使用量はエポキシ樹脂のエポキシ当量の0.5〜1.7倍当量である。
【0017】
硬化触媒としては、トリフェニルフォスフィン、フォスフォニウムボレート等のリン系化合物またはフォスフォニウム塩、イミダゾール類、DBU等の3級アミン類、3フッ化ホウ素のアミン塩等が用いられる。その使用量はエポキシ樹脂に対して0.5〜5重量%である。
【0018】
このようにして得られた本発明の硬化性組成物は、所望により、ポリアリレート、ポリエステル、ポリエーテルスルフォン、ポリイミド又はポリアミド等の熱可塑性高分子と共に、N−メチルピロリドン、メチルエチルケトン、ジメチルフォルムアルデヒド、エチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル又はプロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート等の溶媒に溶解してキャストフィルムを得たり、シリカ、アルミナ、炭酸カルシューム等の無機充填剤と共に、封止材組成物としたり、接着材として使用することができる。これらの組成物は、120〜200℃で硬化することにより硬化物を与え種々の目的に使用される。
尚、上記において無機充填剤は、封止材組成物中で0〜90重量%を占める量が用いられる。

Hydroxyl-terminated phenoxy resin, phenol novolak, o-cresol novolak, mixed novolak of naphthol and cresol, aralkylphenol type phenol resin, biphenyldiyldimethylene-phenol resin, biphenol or bisphenol novolak, etc., average 3 or more fragrances in the molecule A compound obtained by partially nuclear hydrogenating an aromatic hydroxy compound having a nucleus and two or more hydroxyl groups can be obtained by epoxidation with epichlorohydrin. In this case, the hydroxyl group that has become alcoholic as a result of nuclear hydrogenation may not be completely epoxidized.
The epoxy resin of the present invention is not limited to the above, and contains all compounds in which an epoxy compound having an average of 3 or more aromatic nuclei and 2 or more epoxy groups is partially hydrogenated.
The number of aromatic nuclei in the present invention is, for example, 2 for naphthalene and biphenyl and 3 for anthracene, and other condensed rings are the same. The ratio of nuclear hydrogenation will be described later.
[0011]
In the present invention, the softening point, viscosity, reactivity, solvent solubility, etc. are changed by partial nuclear hydrogenation, or an epoxy resin having two types of epoxy groups with different reactivities is produced. In order to obtain an abbreviated interpenetrating polymer or an epoxy group-containing polymer having film suitability, the objective is to obtain an epoxy resin having an aromatic epoxy group and an aliphatic epoxy group in the same molecule. The mixture of aromatic epoxy resins in which all aromatic nuclei have been nuclear hydrogenated and no nuclear hydrogenation is essentially different. For example, as an example, the reactivity of the aromatic epoxy group and the curing agent of the aliphatic epoxy group is 2 to 3 times faster in some cases, and in the case of the above mixture, In the course of the curing reaction, the aromatic epoxy compound may react first, and the aliphatic epoxy compound may not be incorporated into the polymer chain, and only a low hardness may be obtained without complete curing.
For this reason, in the present invention, the average number of aromatic nuclei in the molecule of the raw material (aromatic epoxy resin or aromatic hydroxy compound) is 3 or more in order to suppress as much as possible all nuclear nuclei hydrogenated. The number of epoxy groups or hydroxyl groups therein is 2 or more, and the ratio of the nuclear hydrogenation of aromatic nuclei is 20 to 80%, preferably about 30 to 65%.
[0012]
In carrying out the nuclear hydrogenation for the aromatic epoxy compound and the aromatic hydroxy compound, a metal catalyst is used in any case, and for example, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, nickel and the like can be used. These can be used in any form such as a simple substance, a complex, an oxide, or a form supported on carbon or alumina. The amount of the catalyst used is about 0.001 to 2% by weight of the resin to be hydrogenated as a metal.
The reaction uses a solvent if necessary.
As a reaction solvent, ethers such as dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diglyme, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether or propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, esters such as ethyl acetate or butyl acetate, methanol or ethanol Aprotic polar solvents such as alcohols such as dimethylformaldehyde, dimethylimidazolidinone or N-methylpyrrolidone are used, and the amount used is 2 to 15 times the amount of the aromatic epoxy compound or aromatic hydroxy compound It is.
[0013]
The reaction is carried out at a hydrogen pressure of usually 2 to 200 atm, preferably 10 to 100 atm, with raw materials, a catalyst and, if necessary, a solvent in an autoclave. The reaction temperature is usually 25 to 150 ° C., preferably 40 to 120 ° C., and the absorbed amount is supplied while observing the absorption of hydrogen, and the reaction is carried out for 0.5 to 20 hours. The hydrogenation rate is determined by the amount of hydrogen required when all the aromatic nuclei are hydrogenated and the amount of hydrogen actually supplied during the reaction. Since the hydrogenation of the aromatic nucleus is faster than the hydrogenation of the epoxy ring, the hydrogenation of the epoxy group is not a problem if the above conditions are selected. Further, in the present invention, since the nuclear hydrogenation is performed only partially, even if slight hydrogenation of the epoxy group occurs, there is little influence.
[0014]
In the above hydrogenation method, when an aromatic hydroxy compound is used as a raw material, a partially hydrogenated aromatic hydroxy compound of the present invention is obtained, and epoxidized as described below to be a raw material for the epoxy resin of the present invention. In addition, for example, it can be used in combination with a known epoxy resin or curing catalyst as a curing agent for epoxy resin.
[0015]
Epoxidation of the aromatic hydroxy compound of the present invention can be performed by a conventional method.
