Description

Method for producing the composition

The present invention relates to a method for producing a composition capable of forming a film that can be used as a substrate material compatible with a printed circuit board for a high frequency band or an antenna substrate, the composition, a dispersion liquid capable of forming the composition, and the film.

With the full-scale spread of the 5th generation mobile communication system called 5G, there is a demand for printed circuits that can handle high frequency bands and printed wiring boards that can be used for antennas. However, in the high frequency band, the transmission loss derived from the substrate material has a significant effect, so it is important to select a substrate material that can suppress the transmission loss. For example, a copper-clad laminate called CCL has a structure in which copper foils are laminated on both surfaces of a resin layer via an adhesive. The transmission loss of the CCL can be suppressed by reducing the dielectric loss of the resin layer serving as the transmission line, particularly the dielectric loss tangent and the relative permittivity.
A cycloolefin-based polymer is known as a substrate material having a dielectric loss tangent or a low relative permittivity, and a film in which this cycloolefin-based polymer is composited with another resin has been studied. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a composition containing a specific resin (A), a cycloolefin polymer (B), a compatibilizer (C), and a solvent, and a film formed from the composition. .. However, the composite film formed from the composition as in Patent Document 1 has insufficient mechanical properties.

Of these, hydrocarbon solvents are preferred. When the first solvent contains a hydrocarbon solvent, the solubility of the polymer (B) and the first solvent is enhanced, so that the particle size of the particulate polymer (B) can be easily reduced and the dispersibility can be easily improved. As a result, it is easy to obtain a film having a smooth surface, high particle dispersibility, high heat resistance, high mechanical properties and low CTE (hereinafter, the description of the effect after "as a result" may be omitted). The first solvent can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

As described above, the first solvent is a solvent in which the polymer (B) is dissolved. Here, in the present specification, the evaluation of "dissolving" or "not dissolving" can be performed according to the method described in <Evaluation of solubility> in Examples.

When the distance between the HSP values is not more than the above upper limit, the solubility of the first solvent and the polymer (B) is increased, so that the particle size of the particulate polymer (B) can be easily reduced and the dispersibility is improved. Cheap. The lower limit of the distance between HSP values usually exceeds 0.

HSP is a Hansen solubility parameter (δ), defined by a three-dimensional parameter of (δD, δP, δH), and the formula (X) :.
δ ² = (δD) ² + (δP) ² + (δH) ² ... (X)
[In equation (X), δD represents the Lоndоn dispersion force term, δP represents the molecular polarization term (dipole interpole force term), and δH represents the hydrogen bond term].
Represented by. Details of HSP are described in "PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS" (Author: WDVANKREVEREN, Publisher: ELSEVIER SCIENTFIC PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1989, 5th edition). The Hansen solubility parameters δD, δP, and δH can be calculated using HSPiP (Hansen Sоlubility Parameters in Practice), a program developed by Dr. Hansen's group who proposed the Hansen solubility parameter, for example, in Examples. The described Ver. 4.1.07 and the like can be used. The details of the Hansen-dissolved sphere method will be described below. The component of interest is dissolved in a solvent having a known HSP value, and the solubility of the component in a specific solvent is evaluated. The solubility is evaluated by visually determining whether or not the target component is dissolved in the solvent. This is done for multiple solvents. As the type of the solvent, it is preferable to use a solvent having a wide range of δt, more specifically, 10 kinds or more, more preferably 15 kinds or more, still more preferably 18 kinds or more. Next, the center coordinates (δd, δp, δh) of the Hansen sphere obtained by inputting the obtained solubility evaluation result into HSPiP are used as the HSP having the target composition. In addition to the above methods, HSP may be obtained from a structural formula using, for example, numerical values or literature values in a database of HSPiP, or HSPiP may be used. In the present specification, the value of the Hansen solubility parameter is referred to as an HSP value, and the HSP value represents a value at 25 ° C. The HSP value of the resin (A), the HSP value of the polymer (B), and the HSP value of the solvent may be obtained by any of the above methods, for example, by the method described in Examples. ..

The distance between the Hansen solubility parameters (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as HSP) of two substances is called the distance between HSP values. The distance between HSPs (Ra) is an index showing the affinity between the two substances, and the smaller the value, the higher the affinity between the two substances. On the contrary, the larger the Ra value, the lower the affinity between the two substances, that is, the more difficult it is to be compatible.
The distance between the HSP values determines the Hansen solubility parameters δA and δB of the two substances A and B, respectively.
δA = (δDA, δPA, δHA)
δB = (δDB, δPB, δHB)
Assuming that the distance between HSPs (Ra) is the equation (Y) :.
Ra = [4 × (δDA-δDB) ² + (δPA-δPB) ² + (δHA-δHB) ² ] ^0.5 ... (Y)
Can be calculated by.
In this specification, the HSP value and the distance between the HSP values are as defined above, and can be obtained according to the above method.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the distance between the HSP values of the first solvent and the polymer (B) is smaller than the interaction radius of the polymer (B). With such a relationship, the polymer (B) is easily dissolved in the first solvent, so that the particle size of the particulate polymer (B) can be easily reduced and the dispersibility can be easily improved. Further, in the present specification, the interaction radius is a plurality of solvents capable of dissolving a specific polymer, that is, when the Hansen solubility parameter of a good solvent is plotted in a three-dimensional HSP space, the plots of the good solvents are similar to each other. In other words, it tends to gather in a spherical shape at a close position, that is, at the coordinates, and refers to the radius of the sphere, that is, the Hansen solubility sphere. It can be said that a solute having a large interaction radius is easily soluble in many solvents, and a solute having a small interaction radius is easily soluble in a small number of solvents and difficult to be soluble in many solvents. For a specific unknown polymer, it is investigated whether various solvents are good solvents or poor solvents by conducting a solubility test, and the results are input to HSPiP to interact with the polymers. The radius is calculated. In the present specification, the "radius of interaction" is as defined above and can be determined according to the above method.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the solubility of the polymer (B) in the first solvent is preferably greater than the solubility of the polymer (B) in the second solvent. With such a relationship, it is easy to obtain a particulate polymer (B) having a small particle size and good dispersibility. The solubility of the polymer (B) in the solvent can be measured by the following method. Add 1,000 mg of polymer (B) and 3 mL of solvent to the sample bottle, and stir at room temperature for 2 hours. Next, the solid phase and the liquid phase were separated by filtration, and the solid phase was dried at 80 ° C. for 2 hours under reduced pressure, and then the mass: X (mg) was measured, and the solubility Y (mg / mL) was measured by the following formula. ) Can be obtained.
Y = (1,000-X) / 3

When the distance between the HSP values is not more than the above lower limit, the resin (A) is less likely to be dissolved in the first solvent, so that the particle size of the particulate polymer (B) can be easily reduced and the dispersibility can be easily improved. The upper limit of the distance between the HSP values of the first solvent and the resin (A) is preferably 30.0 or less, more preferably 27.0 or less, still more preferably 25.0 or less, still more preferably 23.0 or less. It is particularly preferably 21.0 or less. When the distance between the HSP values of the first solvent and the resin (A) is not more than the above upper limit, it is easy to suppress the aggregation of the particulate polymer (B), so that the dispersibility of the particles can be easily improved and obtained. It is easy to improve the particle dispersibility of the film.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the HSP values of the first solvent and the resin (A) is preferably larger than the interaction radius of the resin (A).
