本発明におけるレーザーエッチング加工用導電性ペーストは、熱可塑性樹脂からなるバインダ樹脂(A)、金属粉(B)および有機溶剤(C)を含有するレーザーエッチング加工用導電性ペーストにおいて、前記バインダ樹脂(A)が、数平均分子量が5,000~60,000であり、ガラス転移温度が60℃未満である熱可塑性樹脂であることを必須成分として含有する。
バインダ樹脂(A)の種類は熱可塑性樹脂であれば特に限定されないが、ポリエステル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、フェノキシ樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリアミドイミド樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂、フェノール樹脂、アクリル樹脂、ポリスチレン、スチレンーアクリル樹脂、スチレンーブタジエン共重合体、フェノール樹脂、ポリエチレン系樹脂、ポリカーボネート系樹脂、フェノール樹脂、アルキッド樹脂、スチレンーアクリル樹脂、スチレンーブタジエン共重合樹脂、ポリスルホン樹脂、ポリエーテルスルホン樹脂、塩化ビニル-酢酸ビニル共重合樹脂、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合、ポリスチレン、シリコーン樹脂、フッ素系樹脂等を挙げることができ、これらの樹脂は単独で、あるいは2種以上の混合物として、使用することができる。ポリエステル樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、フェノキシ樹脂、塩化ビニル樹脂、繊維素誘導体樹脂からなる群から選ばれる1種又は2種以上の混合物であることが好ましい。また、これらの樹脂の中でも、ポリエステル樹脂、ポリエステル成分を共重合成分として含有するポリウレタン樹脂(以下ポリエステルポリウレタン樹脂と呼ぶ場合がある)、エポキシ樹脂のうち少なくとも1種以上を用いることが、バインダ樹脂(A)としてより好ましい。
本発明に用いられる金属粉(B)としては、銀粉、金粉、白金粉、パラジウム粉等の貴金属粉、銅粉、ニッケル粉、アルミ粉、真鍮粉等の卑金属粉、銀等の貴金属でめっき又は合金化した卑金属粉等、例えば銀コート銅粉を挙げることができる。これらの金属粉は、単独で用いてもよく、また、併用してもよい。これらの中でも導電性、安定性、コスト等を考慮すると銀粉単独又は銀粉を主体とするものが好ましい。
本発明に用いることのできる有機溶剤(C)は、とくに限定されないが、有機溶剤の揮発速度を適切な範囲に保つ観点から、沸点が100℃以上、300℃未満であることが好ましく、より好ましくは沸点が150℃以上、280℃未満である。本発明の導電性ペーストは、典型的には熱可塑性樹脂(A)、金属粉(B)、有機溶剤(C)および必要に応じてその他の成分を三本ロールミル等で分散して作製するが、その際に有機溶剤の沸点が低すぎると、分散中に溶剤が揮発し、導電性ペーストを構成する成分比が変化する懸念がある。一方で、有機溶剤の沸点が高すぎると、乾燥条件によっては溶剤が塗膜中に多量に残存する可能性があり、塗膜の信頼性低下を引き起こす懸念がある。
本発明の導電ペーストには、レーザー光吸収剤(D)を配合しても良い。ここでレーザー光吸収剤(D)とは、レーザー光の波長に強い吸収を有する添加剤のことであり、レーザー光吸収剤(D)自身は導電性であっても非導電性であってもよい。例えば、基本波の波長が1064nmであるYAGレーザーを光源として用いる場合には、波長1064nmに強い吸収を有する染料および/又は顔料を、レーザー光吸収剤(D)として用いることができる。レーザー光吸収剤(D)を配合するとにより、本発明の導電性薄膜はレーザー光を高効率に吸収し、発熱によるバインダ樹脂(A)の揮散や熱分解が促進され、その結果レーザーエッチング加工適性が向上する。
本発明の導電性ペーストには、バインダ樹脂(A)と反応し得る硬化剤を、本発明の効果を損なわない程度に配合してもよい。硬化剤を配合することにより、硬化温度が高くなり、生産工程の負荷が増す可能性はあるが、塗膜乾燥時あるいはレーザーエッチング時に発生する熱による架橋で塗膜の耐湿熱性の向上が期待できる。
本発明の導電性ペーストの粘度は特に限定されず、塗膜の形成方法に応じて適切に調整すればよい。例えば、導電性ペーストの基材への塗布をスクリーン印刷によって行う場合には、導電性ペーストの粘度は、印刷温度において100dPa・s以上、さらに好ましくは150dPa・s以上であることが好ましい。上限は特には限定しないが、粘度が高すぎると導電性薄膜の膜厚が厚くなりすぎ、レーザーエッチング加工適性が低下する場合がある。
本発明の導電性ペーストは前述したように熱可塑性樹脂(A)、金属粉(B)、有機溶剤(C)および必要に応じてその他の成分を三本ロール等で分散して作製することができる。ここで、より具合的な作製手順の例を示す。熱可塑性樹脂(A)をまずは有機溶剤(C)に溶解する。その後、金属粉(B)ならびに、必要に応じて添加剤を添加し、ダブルプラネタリーやディゾルバー、遊星式の攪拌機等で分散を実施する。その後、三本ロールミルで分散して、導電性ペーストを得る。このようにして得られた導電性ペーストは必要に応じて濾過することができる。その他の分散機、例えばビーズミル、ニーダー、エクストルーダーなどを用いて分散しても何ら問題はない。
本発明の導電性ペーストを基材上に塗布または印刷して塗膜を形成し、次いで塗膜に含まれる有機溶剤(C)を揮散させ塗膜を乾燥させることにより、本発明の導電性薄膜を形成することができる。導電性ペーストを基材上に塗布または印刷する方法はとくに限定されないが、スクリーン印刷法により印刷することが工程の簡便さおよび導電性ペーストを用いて電気回路を形成する業界で普及している技術である点から好ましい。また、導電性ペーストは、最終的に電気回路として必要とされる導電性薄膜部位よりも幾分広い部位に塗布または印刷することが、レーザーエッチング工程の負荷を下げ効率よく本発明の電気回路を形成するとの観点から、好ましい。
本発明の電気回路は、本発明の導電性ペーストによって基材上に形成された導電性薄膜の少なくとも一部にレーザー光を照射して、前記導電性薄膜の一部を基材上から除去することによって形成された配線部位を有する電気回路である。このような電気回路の形成方法を採れば、フォトリソグラフィ法と違ってパターン形成工程をドライプロセスとすることができ、金属成分を含有する廃液も発生しないので廃液処理等が必要なく、環境に優しいプロセスであると言える。また、工程的にも単純なので、製造設備に関する投資を抑えられ、製造設備の稼動後の維持管理も容易である。なお、導電性ペーストによって基材上に導電性薄膜を形成する方法は特に限定されないが、印刷または塗装によって行うことができる。
本発明の導電性薄膜、導電性積層体および/または電気回路はタッチパネルの構成部材として用いることができる。前記タッチパネルは、抵抗膜方式であっても静電容量方式であってもよい。いずれのタッチパネルにも適用が可能であるが、本ペーストは、細線形成に好適であるため、静電容量方式のタッチパネルの電極配線用に特に好適に用いることができる。尚、前記タッチパネルを構成する基材としては、ITO膜や銀ナノワイヤ膜等の透明導電性層を有している基材、もしくはそれらがエッチングによって一部除去された基材を用いることが好ましい。
試料樹脂を、樹脂濃度が0.5重量%程度となるようにテトラヒドロフランに溶解し、孔径0.5μmのポリ四フッ化エチレン製メンブランフィルターで濾過し、GPC測定試料とした。テトラヒドロフランを移動相とし、島津製作所社製のゲル浸透クロマトグラフ(GPC)Prominenceを用い、示差屈折計(RI計)を検出器として、カラム温度30℃、流量1ml/分にて樹脂試料のGPC測定を行なった。尚、数平均分子量は標準ポリスチレン換算値とし、分子量1000未満に相当する部分を省いて算出した。GPCカラムは昭和電工(株)製のshodex KF-802、804L、806Lを用いた。
試料樹脂5mgをアルミニウム製サンプルパンに入れて密封し、セイコーインスツルメンツ(株)製の示差走査熱量分析計(DSC)DSC-220を用いて、200℃まで、昇温速度20℃/分にて測定し、ガラス転移温度以下のベースラインの延長線と遷移部における最大傾斜を示す接線との交点の温度で求めた。
試料樹脂0.2gを精秤し20mlのクロロホルムに溶解した。ついで、指示薬にフェノールフタレイン溶液を用い、0.01Nの水酸化カリウム(エタノール溶液)で滴定を行った。酸価の単位はeq/ton、すなわち試料1トン当たりの当量とした。
クロロホルム-dに試料樹脂を溶解し、VARIAN製400MHz-NMR装置を用い、1H-NMR分析により樹脂組成を求めた。
粘度の測定はサンプル温度25℃において、BH型粘度計(東機産業社製,)を用い、20rpmにおいて測定を実施した。
導電性ペーストをポリ容器に入れ、密栓したものを40℃で1ヶ月貯蔵した。貯蔵後に粘度測定及び上記5.導電性積層体テストピースにより作製したテストピースの評価を行った。
○:著しい粘度変化はなく、初期の比抵抗、鉛筆硬度および密着性を維持している。
×:著しい粘度上昇(初期粘度の2倍以上)または著しい粘度低下(初期粘度の1/2以下)、および/または、比抵抗、鉛筆硬度および/または密着性の低下、のいずれかが認められる。
厚み100μmのアニール処理をしたPETフィルム(東レ社製ルミラーS)およびITO膜(尾池工業(株)製、KH300)のそれぞれに、400メッシュのステンレススクリーンを用いてスクリーン印刷法により導電性ペーストを印刷し、幅25mm、長さ450mmのべた塗りパターンを形成し、次いで熱風循環式乾燥炉にて130℃で30分加熱したものを導電性積層体テストピースとした。なお、乾燥膜厚が4~10μmになるように印刷時の塗布厚を調整した。
前記導電性積層体テストピースを用いてJIS K-5400-5-6:1990に従って、セロテープ(登録商標)(ニチバン(株)製)を用い、剥離試験により評価した。但し、格子パターンの各方向のカット数は11個、カット間隔は1mmとした。100/100は剥離がなく密着性が良好なことを示し、0/100は全て剥離してしまったことを表す。
前記導電性積層体テストピースのシート抵抗と膜厚を測定し、比抵抗を算出した。膜厚はゲージスタンドST-022(小野測器社製)を用い、PETフィルムの厚みをゼロ点として硬化塗膜の厚みを5点測定し、その平均値を用いた。シート抵抗はMILLIOHMMETER4338B(HEWLETT PACKARD社製)を用いてテストピース4枚について測定し、その平均値を用いた。尚、本ミリオームメーターで検出できる範囲は1×10-2以下(Ω・cm)であり、1×10-2(Ω・cm)以上の比抵抗は測定限界外となる。
導電性積層体テストピースを厚さ2mmのSUS304板上に置き、JIS K 5600-5-4:1999に従って鉛筆硬度を測定した。
導電性積層体テストピースを、80℃で300時間加熱し、次いで85℃、85%RH(相対湿度)で300時間加熱し、その後24時間常温で放置した後、各種評価を行った。
12.表面粗度
前記導電性積層体テストピース1において、表面粗さ計(ハンディーサーフ E-35B、東京精密社製、JIS-1994に基づき算出)を用い、表面粗さRaを測定した。
スクリーン印刷法により、ポリエステル基材(東レ社製ルミラーS(厚み100μm))上に、導電性ペーストを2.5×10cmの長方形に印刷塗布した。スクリーン版として400ステンレスメッシュ(乳剤厚10μm、線径18μm(ムラカミ社製)、カレンダー加工)を用い、スキージ速度50mm/sで印刷した。印刷塗布後、熱風循環式乾燥炉にて130℃で30分間の乾燥を行って導電性薄膜を得た。尚、膜厚は5~7μmとなるようにペーストを希釈調整した。次いで、上記方法にて作成した導電性薄膜にレーザーエッチング加工を行い、図1のような長さ50mmの4本の直線部分を有するパターンを作製し、レーザーエッチング加工適性評価試験片とした。
