Description
- The present invention relates to a curable composition comprising an epoxy resin and a filler composition, a cured product obtained by curing said curable composition as well as the use of the curable composition as insulating material for electrical and electronic components, in particular as encapsulation system for printed circuit boards.
- So far, the application temperature of encapsulated printed circuit boards used for power electronic applications has been moderate, because the control unit (based on a PCB encapsulated in an organic resin) and the power unit (insulated by ceramic) usually are separated. Thus, a strong heating of the control unit (that needs encapsulation) is avoided and lower grade materials can be used. However, due to the development of new high temperature stable boards based on new thermal stable materials, it will be possible in future to combine both units on a high temperature stable board. Accordingly, in certain applications the encapsulation material needs to withstand high temperatures.
- Customary encapsulating materials are often based on epoxy resins in combination with anhydride hardeners. Some anhydrides, however, have been classified as “respiratory sensitizers” (hazard label: R42) according to REACH legislation.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a single-component encapsulation system free from respiratory sensitizer components with high storage stability at ambient temperature, good flow ability at application temperature and which after curing provides a material having high glass transition temperature (Tg>180° C.) in combination with good long-term thermal aging stability (grade H according to IEC 60216), low coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE <24 ppm/K) and a very good thermal cycle crack resistance (SCT <−200° C.).
- It has now been found that a composition containing a cationically polymerisable epoxy resin in combination with a specific filler mixture fulfils the above-mentioned requirements to a great extent.
- Accordingly, the invention relates to a composition comprising
- (a) a cationically polymerisable epoxy resin,
- (b) an initiator for the cationic polymerisation,
- (c) a microparticle filler, and
- (d) a nanoparticle filler.
- For the preparation of the compositions according to the invention, epoxy resins suitable as component (a) are those customary in epoxy resin technology. Examples of epoxy resins are:
- I) Polyglycidyl and poly(β-methylglycidyl) esters, obtainable by reaction of a compound having at least two carboxyl groups in the molecule with epichlorohydrin and p-methylepichlorohydrin, respectively. The reaction is advantageously performed in the presence of bases.
- Aliphatic polycarboxylic acids may be used as the compound having at least two carboxyl groups in the molecule. Examples of such polycarboxylic acids are oxalic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid or dimerised or trimerised linoleic acid.
- It is also possible, however, to use cycloaliphatic polycarboxylic acids, for example hexahydrophthalic acid or 4-methylhexahydrophthalic acid.
- Aromatic polycarboxylic acids, for example phthalic acid, isophthalic acid or terephthalic acid, may also be used as well as partly hydrogenated aromatic polycarboxylic acids such as tetrahydrophthalic acid or 4-methyltetrahydrophthalic acid.
- II) Polyglycidyl or poly(β-methylglycidyl) ethers, obtainable by reaction of a compound having at least two free alcoholic hydroxy groups and/or phenolic hydroxy groups with epichlorohydrin or β-methylepichlorohydrin under alkaline conditions or in the presence of an acid catalyst with subsequent alkali treatment.
- The glycidyl ethers of this kind are derived, for example, from acyclic alcohols, e.g. from ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol or higher poly(oxyethylene) glycols, propane-1,2-diol or poly(oxypropylene) glycols, propane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol, poly(oxytetramethylene) glycols, pentane-1,5-diol, hexane-1,6-diol, hexane-2,4,6-triol, glycerol, 1,1,1-trimethylol-propane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, and also from polyepichlorohydrins.
- Further glycidyl ethers of this kind are derived from cycloaliphatic alcohols, such as 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl) methane or 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclo-hexyl)propane, or from alcohols that contain aromatic groups and/or further functional groups, such as N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aniline or p,p′-bis(2-hydroxyethylamino)diphenyl-methane. The glycidyl ethers can also be based on mononuclear phenols, for example resorcinol or hydroquinone, or on polynuclear phenols, for example bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfone, 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane or 2,2-bis(3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyphenyl) propane.
- Further hydroxy compounds that are suitable for the preparation of glycidyl ethers are novolaks, obtainable by condensation of aldehydes, such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, chloral or furfuraldehyde, with phenols or bisphenols that are unsubstituted or substituted by chlorine atoms or by C1-C9alkyl groups, e.g. phenol, 4-chlorophenol, 2-methylphenol or 4-tert-butylphenol.
- III) Poly(N-glycidyl) compounds, obtainable by dehydrochlorination of the reaction products of epichlorohydrin with amines containing at least two amine hydrogen atoms. Such amines are, for example, aniline, n-butylamine, bis(4-aminophenyl)methane, m-xylylenediamine or bis(4-methylaminophenyl)methane.
- The poly(N-glycidyl) compounds also include, however, triglycidyl isocyanurate, N,N′-diglycidyl derivatives of cycloalkyleneureas, such as ethyleneurea or 1,3-propyleneurea, and diglycidyl derivatives of hydantoins, such as of 5,5-dimethylhydantoin.
- IV) Poly(S-glycidyl) compounds, for example di-S-glycidyl derivatives, derived from dithiols, e.g. ethane-1,2-dithiol or bis(4-mercaptomethylphenyl)ether.
- V) Cycloaliphatic epoxy resins, e.g. bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyl)ether, 2,3-epoxycyclopentylglycidyl ether, 1,2-bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyloxy) ethane or 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3′,4′-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate.
- It is also possible, however, to use epoxy resins wherein the 1,2-epoxy groups are bonded to different hetero atoms or functional groups; such compounds include, for example, the N,N,O-triglycidyl derivative of 4-aminophenol, the glycidyl ether glycidyl ester of salicylic acid, N-glycidyl-N′-(2-glycidyloxypropyl)-5,5-dimethylhydantoin and 2-glycidyloxy-1,3-bis(5,5-dimethyl-1-glycidylhydantoin-3-yl)propane.
- Preferably component (a) is a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin.
- The term “cycloaliphatic epoxy resin” in the context of this invention denotes any epoxy resin having cycloaliphatic structural units, that is to say it includes both cycloaliphatic glycidyl compounds and β-methylglycidyl compounds as well as epoxy resins based on cycloalkylene oxides.
- Suitable cycloaliphatic glycidyl compounds and β-methylglycidyl compounds are the glycidyl esters and β-methylglycidyl esters of cycloaliphatic polycarboxylic acids, such as tetrahydrophthalic acid, 4-methyltetrahydrophthalic acid, hexahydrophthalic acid, 3-methylhexahydrophthalic acid and 4-methylhexahydrophthalic acid.
- Further suitable cycloaliphatic epoxy resins are the diglycidyl ethers and β-methylglycidyl ethers of cycloaliphatic alcohols, such as 1,2-dihydroxycyclohexane, 1,3-dihydroxycyclohexane and 1,4-dihydroxycyclohexane, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl) cyclohex-3-ene, bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)methane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)propane and bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)sulfone.
- Examples of epoxy resins having cycloalkylene oxide structures are bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyl)ether, 2,3-epoxycyclopentylglycidyl ether, 1,2-bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyl)ethane, vinyl cyclohexene dioxide, 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3′,4′-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate, 3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexylmethyl-3′,4′-epoxy-6′-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate, bis(3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl)adipate and bis(3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexylmethyl)adipate.

- As initiator system for the cationic polymerisation of the epoxy resin there are used, for example, thermally activatable onium salts, oxonium salts, iodonium salts, sulfonium salts, phosphonium salts or quaternary ammonium salts that do not contain nucleophilic anions. Such initiators and their use are known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,336,363, EP-A 379 464 and EP-A 145 580 552 disclose specific sulfonium salts as curing agents for epoxy resins. U.S. Pat. No. 4,058,401, in addition to describing specific sulfonium salts, also describes the corresponding salts of selenium and tellurium.
- Quaternary ammonium salts as thermally activatable initiators are disclosed, for example, in EP-A 66 543 and EP-A 673 104. They are salts of aromatic-heterocyclic nitrogen bases with non-nucleophilic anions, for example complex halideanions such as BF4 −, PF6 −, SbF6 −, SbF5OH− and AsF6 −.
- When quaternary ammonium salts are used, it is advantageous to use in addition a thermal free-radical former, for example pinacols and their ethers, esters or silyl derivatives. Such compounds are known and can be prepared in accordance with known procedures. Such initiator systems are described, for example, in WO 00/04075.

- Masterbatch B: 90 g of ARALDITE® CY 179-1 and 10 g of Initiator 1 are mixed at 60° C. for 30 min. The resulting clear solution is cooled to RT.
- 138 g of ARALDITE® CY 179-1, 450 g of NANOPDX® E 601, 34 g of Master batch A, 26 g of Master batch B, 4.2 g of SILFOAM® SH, 10 g BYK-W 940, 4.2 g BYK 070 and 4.0 g
- AEROSIL® R 972 are put into an Esco mixer of sufficient size. The content of the mixer is then stirred with a disperser stirrer with 100 rpm while heating up to 50° C.
- Then 435 g of AMOSIL® 510 and 894.6 g of AMOSIL® 520 are added slowly in several portions while mixing at 100 rpm. After 5 min the mixer is stopped and the walls are scratched and the material is put into the mixture. Then the mixture is stirred for another 70 min under vacuum at 50° C. After 30 min. of mixing the walls are scratched again and the material is put into the mixture.
- To produce 4 mm thick test plates, metal molds were preheated to about 80° C. in an oven. Then the degassed resin is poured in the mold. The mold is then put to an oven at 120° C. for 1 hour. After that the oven temperature is raised to 180° C. for 90 min Then the mold is taken out of the oven and opened after cooling down to room temperature. The obtained plate is used to cut out test specimens for the KIC/GIC tests, for the tensile strength testing, the Tg measurement via DSC and the determination of the CTE according to the standards mentioned above. The results are given in Table 1.
- As described in Example 2 of WO 2010/112272, 100 g of ARALDITE® XB 5992 are mixed with 90 g of ARALDITE XB 5993 and the mixture is heated while slightly stirring with a propeller stirrer to about 60° C. for about 5 minutes. Then the mixer is stopped and 2 g of BAYFERROX® 225 is added and the mixer is started again for about 1 min. Subsequently, while stirring, 51.3 g of TREMIN® 283-600 EST and 290.7 g of AMOSIL® 520 are added in portions and the mixture is heated up to 60° C. under stirring for about 10 minutes. Then the mixer is stopped and the vessel is degassed carefully by applying a vacuum for about 1 minute.
- The mixture is poured into a 140° C. hot steel mold to prepare plates for the determination of the properties (4 mm thickness). The mold is then put to an oven for 30 minutes at 140° C. After thermally curing the mold, the mold is taken out of the oven and the plates are cooled down to ambient temperature (25° C.).
- The results of the tests are summarised in Table 1.
- 1. Epoxy Resin Formulation:
- 950 g NANOPDX® E 601, 3.75 g SILFOAM® SH, 5.0 g BYK W 955, 6.25 g BYK 070, 12.5 g SILAN A-187 and 22.5 g AEROSIL® R 972 are put to a Esco mixer of sufficient size. The content of the mixer is then heated up 60° C. and stirred with a dissolver stirrer with 300 rpm under vacuum at 60° C. for 3 min. Then the vacuum is broken and 500 g of AMOSIL® 510 and 1000 g of AMOSIL® 520 are added slowly in several portions while mixing at 300 rpm at 60-65° C. under vacuum. After 10 min the mixer is stopped, the vacuum is broken and the walls are scratched and the material is put to the mixture. Then the mixture is stirred another 5 min. under vacuum at 60-65° C. The vacuum is broken and the mixer walls are scratched again. Finally the mixture is stirred for 20 min under vacuum at 300 rpm at 60-65° C.
- 2. Hardener Formulation:
- 879.8 g ARADUR® HY 906, 7.4 g ACCELERATOR 1, 10 g SILAN A-187 and 10 g of BYK-W 940 are put to an Esco mixer of sufficient size. The content of the mixer is then heated up 50° C. and stirred with a dissolver stirrer with 300 rpm under vacuum at 50° C. for 3 min. Then the vacuum is broken and 1092.8 g of AMOSIL® 510 are added slowly in several portions while mixing at 300 rpm at 50° C. under vacuum. After 10 min the mixer is stopped, the vacuum is broken and the walls are scratched and the material is put to the mixture. Then the mixture is stirred another 5 min. under vacuum at 50-55° C. The vacuum is broken and the mixer walls are scratched again. Finally the mixture was stirred for 20 min. under vacuum at 300 rpm at 55-60° C.
- 3. Preparation of Resin/Hardener-Mixture and Curing:
- 500 g of resin formulation and 325 g of hardener formulation are put together and heated to about 60° C. while stirring with 100 rpm under vacuum.
- To produce 4 mm thick test plates, metal molds are preheated to about 80° C. in an oven. Then the degassed resin/hardener mixture is poured into the mold. The mold is then put to an oven at 100° C. for one hour, then for 1.5 hours at 140° C. and finally for 1.5 hours at 210° C. Then the mold is taken out of the oven and opened after cooling down to room temperature. The cured plate is subjected to various tests the results of which are given in Table 1.

- The inventive composition A1 provides a cured product that fulfills all the requirements of a single-component encapsulation system for high temperature stable insulations:
- Tg>180° C., SCT <−200° C., CTE <20 ppm/K, free of R42 label.
- Furthermore, the viscosity of the curable composition is sufficient low for applications as encapsulation system for printed circuit boards.
- The product obtained from Comparative Example Cl has a quite low, but yet insufficient SCT of −131 at a Tg of 105° C. (which is far too low) and a CTE of 25.7 (which is too high). The properties of the cured product according to Comparative Example C2 are satisfactory with respect to Tg and CTE, but completely insufficient with respect to SCT. It is not a solution to the problem because it is R42-labelled, but mainly because the SCT is far too high (−84° C. vs. target of −200° C.). Furthermore, Composition C2 suffers from the classification as hazardous substance (label R42, “respiratory sensitizer”)
