DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel conductive composition, and more specifically, a conductive composition containing copper powder and a thermosetting resin as main components, in combination with an organic acid and a rosin-based substance. It is a conductive composition characterized by having excellent conductivity and conductivity stability. Conventionally, metal powder is dispersed in resin and heated to form a conductive material, which can be used to create conductive circuits, electrodes,
It has been used for contacts, etc. Such conductive compositions generally use gold, silver, etc. as metal powders because they have excellent conductivity, low surface contact resistance, and good conductivity stability of the obtained cured product. So-called precious metal powders have been used. However, as the price of precious metals has increased in recent years, industries that use conductive compositions using these precious metal powders have been in a difficult situation. For this reason, there has been a strong demand for conductive compositions using metal powders instead of these noble metal powders such as gold and silver. However, powders other than precious metals such as gold and silver lack chemical stability, making it impossible to obtain excellent conductivity with low resistance.The stability of the obtained conductor over time is extremely poor, and the contact resistance is high. However, it has not been put into practical use because it requires the addition of a large amount of powder, making printing etc. difficult, and compositions using silver powder are still used. On the other hand, although many attempts have been made to obtain conductive resin compositions in place of these noble metal powders, none have yet been successful. One of these methods is to add organic acids such as adipic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, and malic acid, and inorganic acids such as ammonium chloride, tin chloride, and phosphoric acid compounds to the conductive composition for the purpose of reducing copper powder. A method has been proposed in which a reducing agent such as the following is added and heat curing is performed. However, with this method, as the temperature increases during curing, oxidation from the surface of the coating film progresses little by little, and by the time the coating film is completely cured, the conductive resistance value increases significantly, making it difficult to obtain further results. However, the deterioration over time is remarkable, and when processing for 48 hours under conditions of 40℃ and 95%RH, the electrical resistance value deteriorates to the megohm order (MΩ/□), making it completely unusable. do not have. The present inventors conducted studies on a huge number of various additives in order to improve these drawbacks, and discovered that the combined addition of an organic acid and a rosin-based substance to a composition system exerts a surprising effect. , achieved the present invention.
Although the mechanism of such a combined effect is not clear, the surface of the copper powder, which has been reduced and activated by an organic acid, is coated with a rosin-based substance containing an isomer of abietic acid as a main component and the resin cured product, resulting in the oxidation of the copper surface. It is presumed that this is because it prevents deterioration due to oxidation and contributes to stabilizing conductivity. In fact, rosin-based substances generally have oxygen-absorbing properties, and their main component, abietic acid isomer, has carboxyl groups, so it is known that they have compatibility or reactivity with metal surfaces. Therefore, based on this fact, this inference is considered to be valid. The details of the present invention will be described below. The metallic copper powder used in the present invention can be a commercially available product as it is, and any shape such as scaly, dendritic, spherical, etc. can be used, and crushed copper powder, electrolytic copper powder, etc. Either can be used. Further, the particle size is not particularly limited, but in the case of so-called copper paste used for creating conductive circuits by screen printing, etc., it is preferable that the particle size be as fine as possible. Furthermore, copper alloys and the like can also be used as appropriate. Although all resins used in the present invention can be used in principle, three-dimensional resins such as phenolic resins, alkyd resins, amino resins, unsaturated polyester resins, epoxy resins, and urethane resins are generally used. A thermosetting resin is used. Among these thermosetting resins, it is particularly preferable to use resol type phenolic resins and various modified resol resins because of their good compatibility with rosin substances.As resol type modified phenolic resins, alkyl phenol resols, rosin modified resols, xylene Resin modified resols are preferably used. Further, in the case of a rosin-modified phenolic resin, it is possible to reduce the amount of rosin to be added secondarily, and it is a preferable resin when imparting printing suitability. Next, organic acids with reducing properties, which are one of the constituent components, include organic carboxylic acids such as oxalic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, and malic acid. acid compound,
Halogen compounds and the like can also be used as appropriate. However, when conductive stability is important, organic carboxylic acids are preferred. Further, the dispersion state of these organic carboxylic acids may be either a non-uniform fine powder dispersion or a solution dispersion. Depending on the application, non-uniform dispersion may be preferable from the viewpoint of storage stability of the composition, and if it is undesirable for these organic acids to remain in the cured product, they may be finally decomposed or sublimated during the heat curing process of the system. It is preferable to use oxalic acid, which scatters. Further, the solvent can be appropriately selected and may be used as necessary, but in the case of liquid resin, good results can be obtained even with a solvent-free system. Furthermore, the rosin-based substances that are one of the important constituents of the present invention include gum rosin, uddrosin,
Any compound containing an isomer of abietic acid such as copal as a main component can be used, but in some cases, esters of these compounds can also be used. However, according to studies conducted by the present inventors, it has been found that an unmodified product having a carboxyl group at the end is significantly more effective in terms of low resistance conductivity and electrical conductivity stability over time. In addition, even when these rosin-based substances are used alone, some effect is observed, but the initial resistance value is still large and unsatisfactory from a practical point of view. This unsatisfactory point can be greatly improved by the combination of an organic acid and a rosin material, which is a feature of the present invention. In other words, when an organic acid is used alone, the copper oxide film on the surface of the copper foil is reduced to copper due to the reducing action of this substance, and a low resistance value is temporarily obtained, but the oxidation protective film on the surface of the copper powder is However, if the remaining acid is applied with humidity treatment, oxidation will progress and the conductivity will be extremely reduced. However, when these reducing organic acids and rosin are used together, the organic acid acts on the surface of the copper powder during heat curing, and the powder surface becomes metallic copper and is activated. Furthermore, it is believed that the activated metallic copper surface is coated with a molten rosin-based material that has a strong affinity for copper. Since the thickness of the coating film in this case is estimated to be a monomolecular film, it is possible that the carboxyl group of the abietic acid isomer is adsorbed on the copper surface without impairing conductivity. is considered to be extremely hydrophobic. For this reason, the obtained conductor is extremely moisture resistant.
It has excellent water resistance and has very little deterioration of conductivity over time. Further, the amount of the organic acid used in the present invention is preferably 1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of copper powder, and the amount of the rosin substance added is in the range of 1 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of copper powder. It is suitably used in
Although various methods can be considered for producing the composition, it is generally obtained by blending the constituent components and then kneading them using an ink roll, a sieve machine, a ball mill, or the like. Further, various antioxidants, dispersants, thixotropy agents, wetting improvers, etc. may be added to the composition as necessary. The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to Examples. Example 1 100% liquid resol resin (Sumitomo Durez Co., Ltd.)
Methanol is removed from Sumiratsuku PC-25 by distillation)
...100 parts by weight Electrolytic copper powder ...300 parts by weight Butyl carbitol ...40 parts by weight The above blended composition was prepared in advance and kneaded with an ink roll. This material was kneaded with additives in the proportions shown in Table 1, and mixed again with an ink roll to obtain a paste. The obtained paste was screen printed onto a phenol resin substrate on which electrode portions had been formed in advance, and baked at 170° C. for 2 hvs. The resistance of the obtained cured product was measured, and the test piece was heated to 90% at 40°C.
The resistance value after RH treatment and the resistance value after heat treatment at 100°C were measured. The results are shown in Table 1, and it is clear that the composition of the present invention has excellent conductivity and conductivity stability. In Table 1, the percentage of additives is the percentage by weight based on the above total weight. 【table】
