Description

Nucleating agent for laser direct structuring, preparation method thereof, and method for manufacturing a conductive copper thin film pattern using the same {A nucleating agent for laser direct structuring, preparation invention, and a method for preparing conductive copper thin-film pattern using the same}

Provided are a nucleating agent for laser direct structuring, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of manufacturing a conductive copper thin film pattern using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a nucleating agent for laser direct structuring using an additive including a plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial instead of a conventional additive, a method for manufacturing the same, and a method for manufacturing a conductive copper thin film pattern using the same.

Laser direct structuring (LDS) is a method of directly forming a conductive thin film pattern using a laser. The circuit directly forms a conductive thin film pattern on a three-dimensional structure by shortening the pattern formation time and facilitating the formation of a three-dimensional pattern. And the antenna manufacturing process.

In the LDS process, the thermoplastic resin composition may be doped with an additive for the metal-containing LSD to be activated by a laser.

Laser direct structuring uses a laser to irradiate the surface of the resin molding containing the additive before the plating process to pattern the surface of the resin molding to have a certain roughness, and at the same time act as a nucleating agent with energy absorbed by the laser irradiated surface. It is based on allowing the material of the additive to be substituted to form a metal seed.

Due to the roughness of the surface of the metal seed and the resin molded body, the surface on which the metal seed is formed becomes the plating selectivity, and as a result, a metal layer that is densely and tightly bonded only to the region to which the laser is irradiated is formed and plated.

Meanwhile, the thermoplastic resin composition used in the LSD process may further include a supporting material. The support may be iron oxide or aluminum oxide in the form of natural and / or synthetic mica, talc, kaolin, flakes, glass flakes, SiO 2 flakes, TiO 2 flakes, mixed oxides in flake form, for example FeTiO 3 , Fe 2 TiO 5 , graphite flakes and the like. In general, the support serves as an inorganic filler added to the thermoplastic resin composition to be laser direct structuring to improve mechanical strength.

The most important part of the formation mechanism of the conductive metal pattern is the formation of the metal seed by the interaction of the additives added to the thermoplastic resin composition and the laser energy to be irradiated.

As additives for LDS, spinel-based metal oxides (e.g., copper chromium oxides), organometallic complexes (e.g. palladium complexes, copper complexes) are used, but in the case of organometallic complexes when activated by laser irradiation A relatively high amount must be introduced into the resin for dense nucleation, which can change or negatively affect the basic properties of the final product. In addition, commercially available laser-absorbing additive species are added granulated mostly in the order of tens to tens of micrometers for dispersion. No examples of nanomaterials being used as LDS additives have been reported so far, because it is difficult to disperse in solution without special surface treatment and it is difficult to maintain a particularly uniform dispersion in a compounding process that is not a complete fluidized bed.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a nucleating agent for laser direct structuring, including a nanostructured additive in place of the conventional additives, a method for manufacturing the same and a method for producing a conductive copper thin film pattern using the same.

As used herein, the term "nucleating agent" is a component that is reduced during laser irradiation to form a metal seed that acts as a nucleus for forming a metal thin film in a subsequent plating process, and may be used in the same sense as a conventional laser direct structuring additive. In addition, other components other than the laser direct structuring additive, for example, may be used in the sense including a support and a reducing agent.

In the present invention, instead of adding the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial serving as a conventional additive to the thermoplastic resin composition separately from the support, the composition is grown and coated on the support to simplify the composition of the thermoplastic resin composition and to simultaneously disperse the plate-shaped metal oxide nanomaterial. By evening the metal seed formation can be effectively achieved. In addition, in the present invention, unlike the metal oxide particles used as a conventional additive, by using a plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial, the copper plating proceeding afterwards through a more effective seed formation can be made dense and effective.

In the present invention, the base material of the nucleating agent is a nanometer sized copper oxide material, characterized in that the support of the micrometer scale for uniform dispersion thereof.

The support may generally be used without limitation the size of the thermoplastic resin composition to be subjected to laser direct structuring, for example, the length of one side may be 1㎛ to 100㎛.

The plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial may be a material grown in a plate shape having a side length of 50 to 500 nm and a thickness of 5 to 50 nm.

In addition, the support may be coated with TiO 2 or ZnO. TiO 2 generally has an effect of improving plating performance in a thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring. However, TiO 2 is known to reduce mechanical properties of a product. In the present invention, TiO 2 is added to a support instead of being included in a thermoplastic resin composition. The TiO 2 was fixed by coating and again coating the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial thereon.

The reducing agent layer includes a reducing agent that serves to reduce the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterials upon laser irradiation to form a copper seed, and may be, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone or polyethylene glycol.

The reducing agent layer may further include an absorption additive, for example, carbon black, and the carbon black may form a black color and efficiently increase the laser absorption rate.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a laser direct structuring nucleating agent includes adding copper acetate solution and sodium hydroxide solution to a support, followed by stirring to grow copper oxide nanoflakes on the support; Filtering and drying the resultant to obtain a support coated with a plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial layer; And adding the support coated with the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial layer to an aqueous solution including a reducing agent, followed by stirring to coat the reducing agent layer.

A support coated with a copper oxide nanomaterial can be obtained.

At this time, the copper oxide nano flakes may be prepared by reacting the copper acetate and sodium hydroxide in a molar ratio of 1: 2 to 1:10.

Thioglycerol, 1,6-hexadiamine, hexamethylenetetraamine, etc. can be used as said particle growth stabilizer.

The particle growth stabilizer may be 0.005 to 1% by weight based on the combined amount of copper acetate and sodium hydroxide.

The shape is not limited thereto. For example, when the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial has a rectangular plate surface, the length of one side is 500 nm or less, for example, the length of one side is 50 to 200 nm, and the thickness is 5 to 50 nm. Can be.

 The support coated with the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial obtained as described above was added to an aqueous solution containing a reducing agent and then stirred, and the resulting product was filtered and coated with a reducing agent layer on the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial layer coated on the support. You get a nucleating agent.

The aqueous solution containing the reducing agent may further include an absorption additive, for example, carbon black.

Before the support is coated with the plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial layer, the support may be coated with TiO 2 , for example, by a sol-gel method. Through this, it is possible to minimize the deterioration of mechanical properties by the additional introduction of TiO 2 and to increase the plating performance.

2 is a step-by-step view showing a method for manufacturing a laser direct structuring nucleating agent according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, first, a support is prepared (S200), and copper oxide nanoflakes are grown on the support and then coated with a plate-shaped copper oxide nanomaterial layer (S210).

As shown in FIG. 3, when a laser is irradiated to a nucleating agent coated with a reducing agent layer on a layer of a copper oxide nanomaterial coated on a support, for example, mica, the copper oxide nanomaterial coated on the mica is reduced by a reducing agent to form a metal. Seeds are formed.

Plating copper on the copper seed layer is not particularly limited, and may be performed through a general plating process. For example, it can be performed by electroless plating.

Example 1

A solution obtained by dispersing the laser direct structuring agent prepared in Preparation Example 1 in 5 wt% in ethanol was coated on the surface of the polycarbonate substrate, and then irradiated with a 1062 nm CW laser in the form of a spot (1 W, 5 seconds).

The surface including the unreacted portion was washed, the substrate was immersed in a copper plating solution, and reacted.

Plating solution was prepared using MSMID-70 provided by MS Co., Ltd. The manufacturing process is as follows. 40 ml of Cu solution (MSMID-70A), 120 ml of complexing agent (MSMID-70B), 3.5 ml of auxiliary complexing agent (MSMID-70C), and 2 ml of stabilizer (MSMID-70D) were dissolved in 700 ml of deionized water to prepare a Cu plating solution. .

45 ml of 25% NaOH and 12 ml of 37% formaldehyde were added to 1 L of the prepared plating solution. The resin structure whose surface was activated with a laser was immersed in the plating solution at 58 ° C. for 3 to 5 hours, and then washed with distilled water.

5 is a photograph showing a conductive copper thin film in the form of a spot formed in accordance with Example 1 of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, it was confirmed that the copper seed was formed in the laser irradiated region and the copper thin film grew well after plating.

Example 2

3 wt% of the nucleating agent obtained in Preparation Example 2 was added to the polycarbonate resin (LUPOY, LGChem) to obtain a circular disk substrate by an injection molding process, and as a control, a substrate having the same basic additive but no nucleating agent was obtained.

After the laser patterning was performed under the process conditions shown in FIG. 6A, the same plating process as in Example 1 was performed.

Figure 6b is a photograph showing the result of the plating in Example 2 and the plating result of the control.

As shown in FIG. 6B, in the control group, a metal film was not formed on the surface of the substrate even after plating after laser patterning, whereas a resin containing a nucleating agent obtained a plated surface when plating after laser patterning.
