 スピネル粒子の形状としては、多面体状、球状、真球状、楕円状、円柱状、多角柱状、針状、棒状、板状、円板状、薄片状、鱗片状等が挙げられる。これらのうち、球状であると樹脂と混合した際に充填性が高くなり好ましく、真球状であると、混合物の粘度がより低下し充填率が向上し、さらに最密充填構造となりやすいため、特に好ましい。 Examples of the shape of spinel particles include polyhedral, spherical, true spherical, elliptical, cylindrical, polygonal columnar, needle-like, rod-like, plate-like, disk-like, flaky, and scaly shapes. Among these, a spherical shape is preferable because it increases the filling property when mixed with resin, and a true spherical shape lowers the viscosity of the mixture, increases the filling rate, and tends to form a close-packed structure, so it is especially preferable. preferable.

It is further preferred that the above particles have a spherical shape.
 なお、形状が球状または真球状であると、樹脂組成物の成形時に、他粒子との接触固定を容易に回避する為、密に充填される。また、前記形状であることにより、粒子輪郭線のフラクタル次元が減少し、充填した際の空間率が抑制される。結果として、最密充填構造を取ることにより、熱伝導性、誘電特性に優れたものを与える。 Note that if the shape is spherical or true spherical, it will be packed densely to easily avoid contact and fixation with other particles during molding of the resin composition. Further, due to the shape described above, the fractal dimension of the particle contour is reduced, and the void ratio when filled is suppressed. As a result, a close-packed structure provides excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric properties.

For example, the circularity may be 0.7 or more, 0.75 or more, or 0.8 or more. The above-mentioned "circularity" can be calculated from "4 x π x area/circumference^2", and the area and circumference can be determined by observation using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). can.

 マグネシウム系化合物は市販品を使用してもよく、自ら調製してもよい。マグネシウム系化合物を自ら調製する場合、スピネル粒子製造のための反応性を調整することができる。例えば、マグネシウムイオンの酸性水溶液を塩基で中和することで粒子径の小さい水酸化マグネシウムを得ることができる。得られる粒径の小さい水酸化マグネシウムは反応性が高いため、これを用いて得られるスピネル粒子の結晶子径は大きくなる傾向がある。 The magnesium-based compound may be a commercially available product or may be prepared by yourself. When preparing the magnesium-based compound yourself, the reactivity for spinel particle production can be adjusted. For example, magnesium hydroxide with a small particle size can be obtained by neutralizing an acidic aqueous solution of magnesium ions with a base. Since the obtained magnesium hydroxide having a small particle size has high reactivity, the crystallite size of spinel particles obtained using this tends to be large.
 市販品あるいは調製品のマグネシウム系化合物中には、ケイ素、鉄、カリウム、ナトリウム、カルシウム、リン、硫黄、塩素といった不純物が含まれる場合がある。これら不純物の総量は、蛍光X線元素分析法(XRF)により測定された値を原子数に換算した場合、マグネシウムに対して1.0原子%未満であることが好ましく、0.5原子%以下であるとより好ましく、0.3原子%以下であるとさらに好ましい。 Commercially available or prepared magnesium compounds may contain impurities such as silicon, iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine.

In addition, the above-mentioned aluminum-based compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
 アルミニウム系化合物のレーザー回折式粒度分布測定における体積基準の平均粒子径D50は、凝集がない範囲でより小さい粒子径のものを用いることで、焼成時の反応性が向上し、不純物相がなく純度の高いスピネル粒子を得ることができ好ましい。アルミニウム原料の粒径は、得られるスピネル粒子の粒径と相関するため、所望のスピネル粒子の粒径に応じて適宜選定される。アルミニウム系化合物の平均粒子径D50としては、0.01μm以上70μm以下であり、0.1μm以上30μm以下が好ましく、0.1μm以上15μm以下がより好ましく、0.5μm以上10μm以下が最も好ましい。 The volume-based average particle diameter D50 in the laser diffraction particle size distribution measurement of aluminum-based compounds is determined by using particles with a smaller particle diameter within the range of no agglomeration, which improves reactivity during firing and improves purity without impurity phases. It is preferable that spinel particles with high viscosity can be obtained. Since the particle size of the aluminum raw material is correlated with the particle size of the spinel particles to be obtained, it is appropriately selected depending on the desired particle size of the spinel particles. The average particle diameter D50 of the aluminum compound is 0.01 μm or more and 70 μm or less, preferably 0.1 μm or more and 30 μm or less, more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 15 μm or less, and most preferably 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

In addition, from the viewpoint of the particle shape of the aluminum-based compound described later and the shape of the obtained spinel particles, it is more preferable to use an aluminum-based compound that does not require pulverization for particle size adjustment as the raw material.
 アルミニウム系化合物の形状は、多面体状、球状、真球状、楕円状、円柱状、多角柱状、針状、棒状、板状、円板状、薄片状、鱗片状のいずれであってもよいが、得られるスピネル粒子の形状の観点から、球状または真球状であるとより好ましい。本実施形態の製造方法によると、マグネシウム原子がアルミニウム系化合物粒子の中に、拡散し入り込むため、粒子成長の際に原料のアルミニウム系化合物の形状が崩れることなく成長することが可能であり、得られるスピネル粒子の形状を容易に制御することが可能となる。 The shape of the aluminum-based compound may be polyhedral, spherical, true spherical, elliptical, cylindrical, polygonal columnar, needle-like, rod-like, plate-like, disk-like, flaky, or scaly; From the viewpoint of the shape of the obtained spinel particles, it is more preferable that the spinel particles are spherical or truly spherical. According to the manufacturing method of this embodiment, since magnesium atoms diffuse and enter into the aluminum compound particles, it is possible to grow the aluminum compound as a raw material without losing its shape during particle growth. It becomes possible to easily control the shape of the spinel particles.
 アルミニウム系化合物の結晶構造は、特に制限されるものではなく、単相であっても混相であってもよい。なお、結晶構造が混相であるとアルミニウム系化合物の形状は真球状である場合が多い。 The crystal structure of the aluminum-based compound is not particularly limited, and may be a single phase or a mixed phase. Note that when the crystal structure is a mixed phase, the aluminum-based compound often has a true spherical shape.
[焼成工程]
 前記混合物を、焼成炉中において高温で焼成することで、スピネル粒子を得ることができる。
[Firing process]
Spinel particles can be obtained by firing the mixture at a high temperature in a firing furnace.
 焼成温度は、所望のスピネル粒子を得ることができれば特に制限されないが、1100~1600℃であることが好ましく、1200~1500℃であることがより好ましく、1300~1400℃であると特に好ましい。焼成温度が1100℃以上であると、原料未反応が抑制されるため好ましく、一方、焼成温度が1600℃以下であると、汎用の焼成炉が使用できるため量産適性の関連から好ましい。 The firing temperature is not particularly limited as long as the desired spinel particles can be obtained, but it is preferably 1100 to 1600°C, more preferably 1200 to 1500°C, and particularly preferably 1300 to 1400°C. It is preferable that the firing temperature is 1100° C. or higher because it suppresses unreacted raw materials, while it is preferable that the firing temperature is 1600° C. or lower because it allows the use of a general-purpose firing furnace and is suitable for mass production.
 焼成時間は、特に制限されないが、1~20時間であることが好ましく、5~10時間であることがより好ましい。焼成時間が1時間以上であると、高結晶なスピネル粒子を得ることができるため好ましい。一方、焼成時間が20時間以内であると、製造コストが低くなり得ることから好ましい。 The firing time is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 20 hours, more preferably 5 to 10 hours. It is preferable that the firing time is 1 hour or more because highly crystalline spinel particles can be obtained. On the other hand, it is preferable that the firing time is 20 hours or less because manufacturing costs can be reduced.
 焼成雰囲気は、空気雰囲気であっても、窒素ガスやアルゴンガス等の不活性ガス雰囲気であっても、酸素雰囲気であっても、アンモニアガス雰囲気であっても、二酸化炭素雰囲気であってもよい。この際、製造コストの観点からは空気雰囲気であることが好ましい。 The firing atmosphere may be an air atmosphere, an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen gas or argon gas, an oxygen atmosphere, an ammonia gas atmosphere, or a carbon dioxide atmosphere. . At this time, an air atmosphere is preferable from the viewpoint of manufacturing costs.
 焼成時の圧力についても特に制限されず、常圧下であっても、加圧下であっても、減圧下であってもよいが、製造コストの観点から常圧下で行う事が好ましい。 The pressure during firing is not particularly limited either, and may be under normal pressure, increased pressure, or reduced pressure, but from the viewpoint of manufacturing costs, it is preferable to carry out under normal pressure.

Firing furnaces that can be used in this case include box furnaces, tunnel furnaces, roller hearth furnaces, rotary kilns, muffle furnaces, and the like.
 一般的な火焔法等による製造方法と比較して、上述の製造方法では、粒子成長の際に、マグネシウム原子が表面拡散あるいは粒界拡散をするのではなく、アルミニウム系化合物粒子内を拡散経路とする体積拡散を行うと考えており、この結果、原料のアルミニウム系化合物の形状を維持したまま粒子成長することが可能となったと想定している。
 また、本発明の製造方法は、アルミニウム系化合物表面にマグネシウム原子を吸着させるといった前処理が不要である為、生産性に優れる製造方法である。
Compared to manufacturing methods such as the general flame method, in the above manufacturing method, magnesium atoms do not diffuse through the surface or grain boundaries during particle growth, but instead use the diffusion route within the aluminum compound particles. As a result, it is assumed that particle growth is possible while maintaining the shape of the raw material aluminum-based compound.
Further, the manufacturing method of the present invention is a manufacturing method with excellent productivity because it does not require pretreatment such as adsorbing magnesium atoms onto the surface of the aluminum compound.

 冷却方法は特に制限されず、自然放冷であっても、冷却装置を使用してもよい。
The cooling rate is also not particularly limited, but it is preferably 1 to 1000°C/hour, more preferably 5 to 500°C/hour, and even more preferably 100 to 500°C/hour. It is preferable that the cooling rate is 1° C./hour or more because the manufacturing time can be shortened. On the other hand, it is preferable that the cooling rate is 1000° C./hour or less because the firing container is less likely to crack due to heat shock and can be used for a long time.
The cooling method is not particularly limited, and may be natural cooling or a cooling device may be used.

(スピネル粒子)
 スピネル粒子としては、上記「スピネル粒子」において説明したものが用いられ得ることから、ここでは説明を省略する。
(spinel particles)
As the spinel particles, those explained in the above "spinel particles" can be used, so the explanation will be omitted here.
 なお、前記スピネル粒子としては、さらに、後述の方法により表面処理したものを用いても良い。表面処理することにより、スピネル粒子の熱伝導性を更に改善することが可能である。
 例えば、上記の様にして得られたスピネル粒子は、スピネル粒子表面の少なくとも一部に有機化合物を含む表面処理層を付着させることで、表面処理スピネル粒子を製造することができる。
Note that the spinel particles may be further surface-treated by the method described below. By surface treatment it is possible to further improve the thermal conductivity of spinel particles.
For example, surface-treated spinel particles can be produced from the spinel particles obtained as described above by attaching a surface treatment layer containing an organic compound to at least a portion of the spinel particle surface.
 未処理スピネル粒子の表面の少なくとも一部に、表面処理層が付着されている状態とすることで、樹脂組成物に含まれる樹脂との濡れ性が向上し、スピネル粒子との密着性が向上することから、スピネル粒子表面に生じやすい空隙の生成が抑えられるため、熱伝導率のロスが低くなることから、例えば、樹脂組成物の成形物の熱伝導性を改善することができる。この様な技術的効果は、スピネル粒子の表面の一部に、有機化合物に基づく表面処理剤またはその硬化物に基づく表面処理層が付着していることで発現するものであり、例えば、表面処理後に焼成を行う等して、表面処理剤を当該スピネル粒子から除去した場合には、発現させることはできない。 By attaching the surface treatment layer to at least a portion of the surface of the untreated spinel particles, the wettability with the resin contained in the resin composition is improved, and the adhesion with the spinel particles is improved. Therefore, the formation of voids that tend to occur on the surface of spinel particles is suppressed, and the loss in thermal conductivity is reduced, so that, for example, the thermal conductivity of molded products of the resin composition can be improved. Such technical effects are produced by the fact that a surface treatment layer based on a surface treatment agent based on an organic compound or a cured product thereof is attached to a part of the surface of the spinel particles. If the surface treatment agent is removed from the spinel particles by subsequent firing or the like, it will not be possible to develop the surface treatment agent.
 また、複数種のスピネル粒子を用いる場合、これら複数種のうち一種以上として、表面処理層を有するスピネル粒子を用いることができる。 Furthermore, when multiple types of spinel particles are used, spinel particles having a surface treatment layer can be used as one or more of the multiple types.
 具体的には、上記未処理スピネル粒子と、有機化合物を含む表面処理層を形成しうる表面処理剤とを混合し、未処理スピネル粒子の表面の少なくとも一部に当該表面処理剤を付着させた後に、例えば、乾燥や硬化等を行うことで、表面処理スピネル粒子を製造することができる。 Specifically, the untreated spinel particles were mixed with a surface treatment agent capable of forming a surface treatment layer containing an organic compound, and the surface treatment agent was attached to at least a portion of the surface of the untreated spinel particles. Afterwards, surface-treated spinel particles can be manufactured by performing drying, curing, etc., for example.
 表面処理剤自体が反応性を有しないが吸着性を有する有機化合物であったり、表面処理剤が液媒体に溶解又は分散した様な溶液又は分散液である場合は、吸着を促進したり液媒体を除去する目的で乾燥を行えば良いし、表面処理剤が反応性を有する有機化合物である場合は、当該化合物の反応性基に基づく硬化を行うことで、前記した表面処理層を形成させることができる。なお、未処理スピネル粒子の表面全体に当該表面処理剤を付着させた場合は、表面処理層で未処理スピネル粒子は被覆されることになる。 If the surface treatment agent itself is an organic compound that does not have reactivity but has adsorptive properties, or if it is a solution or dispersion in which the surface treatment agent is dissolved or dispersed in a liquid medium, it may be possible to promote adsorption or If the surface treatment agent is a reactive organic compound, the above-mentioned surface treatment layer can be formed by curing based on the reactive groups of the compound. Can be done. Note that when the surface treatment agent is applied to the entire surface of untreated spinel particles, the untreated spinel particles are covered with the surface treatment layer.
 前記表面処理剤としては、無極性シラン化合物であることが好ましい。無極性であると、極性置換基を有さないため、誘電特性の悪化を抑制することができる。極性置換基とは、水素結合しうる基、または、イオン性解離基を言う。このような極性置換基としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、-OH、-COOH、-COOM、-NH、-NR 、-CONH等が挙げられる。ここで、Mは、アルカリ金属、アルカリ土類金属、4級アンモニウム塩等のカチオンであり、Rは、Hまたは炭素数8以下の炭化水素基、Aはハロゲン原子等のアニオンである。 The surface treatment agent is preferably a nonpolar silane compound. If it is nonpolar, it does not have a polar substituent, so deterioration of dielectric properties can be suppressed. A polar substituent refers to a group capable of hydrogen bonding or an ionic dissociative group. Such polar substituents include, but are not particularly limited to, -OH, -COOH, -COOM, -NH 3 , -NR 4 + A - , -CONH 2 and the like. Here, M is a cation such as an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a quaternary ammonium salt, R is H or a hydrocarbon group having 8 or less carbon atoms, and A is an anion such as a halogen atom.
 表面処理剤の処理方法としては、公知慣用の方法で行えばよく、例えば、流体ノズルを用いた噴霧方式、せん断力のある攪拌、ボールミル、ミキサー等の乾式法、水系または有機溶剤系等の湿式法を採用することができる。せん断力を利用した表面処理は、フィラーの破壊が起こらない程度にして行うことが望ましい。 The surface treatment agent may be treated by any known and commonly used method, such as a spraying method using a fluid nozzle, stirring with shear force, a dry method using a ball mill or mixer, or a wet method using an aqueous or organic solvent system. law may be adopted. It is desirable that the surface treatment using shear force be carried out to such an extent that the filler will not be destroyed.
 また表面処理剤の乾式法における系内温度ないしは湿式法における処理後の乾燥または硬化の温度は、表面処理剤の種類に応じ熱分解しない領域で適宜決定される。例えば80~230℃の温度で加熱することが望ましい。 Furthermore, the internal temperature of the surface treatment agent in the dry method or the drying or curing temperature after treatment in the wet method is appropriately determined in a range where thermal decomposition does not occur depending on the type of the surface treatment agent. For example, it is desirable to heat at a temperature of 80 to 230°C.
 未処理スピネル粒子に対する表面処理層中の表面処理剤の不揮発分または硬化物の量は、特に制限されるものではないが、未処理スピネル粒子の質量換算100部当たり、表面処理剤における不揮発分または硬化物が、0.01~10部となる様にすることが、熱伝導性等の機能向上の点では好ましい。 The amount of nonvolatile content or cured product of the surface treatment agent in the surface treatment layer for untreated spinel particles is not particularly limited, but the amount of nonvolatile content or cured product of the surface treatment agent per 100 parts by mass of untreated spinel particles is It is preferable that the amount of the cured product be 0.01 to 10 parts from the viewpoint of improving functions such as thermal conductivity.
 未知のスピネル粒子が、本発明の表面処理スピネル粒子に相当するかどうかは、例えば、当該未知のスピネル粒子を、表面処理剤の不揮発分または硬化物を溶解する溶媒に浸漬したり煮沸する等して抽出した抽出液やそのスピネル粒子表面自体に、表面処理剤自体やその硬化物に対応する化学構造や、珪素原子、チタン原子或いは燐原子の存在が、赤外線吸収分析(IR)や原子吸光分析(AAS)にて観測できるか否かで、確認することができる。 Whether unknown spinel particles correspond to the surface-treated spinel particles of the present invention can be determined by, for example, immersing or boiling the unknown spinel particles in a solvent that dissolves the nonvolatile content or cured product of the surface treatment agent. Infrared absorption analysis (IR) and atomic absorption spectrometry reveal that the extracted liquid and the spinel particle surface itself have a chemical structure corresponding to the surface treatment agent itself and its cured product, and the presence of silicon atoms, titanium atoms, or phosphorus atoms. You can check whether it can be observed with (AAS).

[mixture]
The resin composition of the present invention can be obtained by mixing spinel particles, a resin, and, if necessary, other compounds. There is no particular limitation on the mixing method, and the mixing may be carried out by any known and commonly used method.
When the resin is a thermosetting resin, a general method for mixing the thermosetting resin and spinel particles is to mix a predetermined amount of the thermosetting resin, spinel particles, and other ingredients as necessary. A method of obtaining a liquid composition having fluidity by thoroughly mixing the ingredients using a mixer or the like and then kneading the mixture using a triple roll or the like can be mentioned. In addition, as a method for mixing the thermosetting resin and spinel particles in another embodiment, a predetermined amount of the thermosetting resin, spinel particles, and other components as necessary are sufficiently mixed using a mixer or the like. Afterwards, the mixture may be melt-kneaded using a mixing roll, an extruder, etc., and then cooled to obtain a solid composition. Regarding the mixing state, when a curing agent, a catalyst, etc. are blended, it is sufficient that the curable resin and the blend thereof are sufficiently uniformly mixed, but it is more preferable that the spinel particles are also uniformly dispersed and mixed.
 なお、スピネル粒子の含有量は、樹脂組成物の体積に対して、5容量%以上95容量%以下であることが好ましく、20容量%以上90容量%以下であることがより好ましく、30容量%以上80容量%が特に好ましい。スピネル粒子の含有量が上記下限値以上であると、樹脂組成物により優れた熱伝導性および誘電特性を付与できる。一方、スピネル粒子の含有量が上記上限値以下であると、流動性に優れ容易に成形することができる。 The content of spinel particles is preferably 5% by volume or more and 95% by volume or less, more preferably 20% by volume or more and 90% by volume or less, and 30% by volume, based on the volume of the resin composition. Particularly preferred is 80% by volume or more. When the content of spinel particles is at least the above lower limit, the resin composition can be provided with more excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric properties. On the other hand, when the content of spinel particles is below the above upper limit, the resin composition has excellent fluidity and can be easily molded.
 前記樹脂が熱可塑性樹脂である場合の一般的な熱可塑性樹脂とスピネル粒子等との混合方法としては、熱可塑性樹脂、スピネル粒子、及び必要に応じてその他の成分を、例えばタンブラーやヘンシェルミキサー等の各種混合機を用い予め混合した後、バンバリーミキサー、ロール、ブラベンダー、単軸混練押出機、二軸混練押出機、ニーダー、混合ロール等の混合機で溶融混練する方法が挙げられる。なお、溶融混練の温度は特に制限されないが、通常100℃以上320℃以下の範囲である。
 樹脂組成物の流動性やスピネル粒子等のフィラー充填性をより高められることから、樹脂組成物にカップリング剤を外添してもよい。なお、カップリング剤を外添することで、樹脂とスピネル粒子の密着性が更に高められ、樹脂とスピネル粒子の間での界面熱抵抗が低下し、樹脂組成物の熱伝導性が向上しうる。
When the resin is a thermoplastic resin, a general method for mixing the thermoplastic resin with spinel particles, etc. is to mix the thermoplastic resin, spinel particles, and other components as necessary, for example, in a tumbler, Henschel mixer, etc. Examples include a method of pre-mixing using various mixers, and then melt-kneading with a mixer such as a Banbury mixer, a roll, a Brabender, a single-screw kneading extruder, a twin-screw kneading extruder, a kneader, or a mixing roll. Note that the melt-kneading temperature is not particularly limited, but is usually in the range of 100°C or higher and 320°C or lower.
A coupling agent may be externally added to the resin composition because it can further improve the fluidity of the resin composition and the filling properties with fillers such as spinel particles.

<用途>
 本発明の一実施形態によれば、本発明の樹脂組成物は、低誘電放熱材料に使用される。
 一般的に、熱伝導性材料としては、コストの観点から酸化アルミニウムがよく使用されており、その他、窒化ホウ素、窒化アルミニウム、酸化マグネシウム、炭酸マグネシウム等が使用されていた。しかしながら、これら材料は、例えば、酸化アルミニウムは誘電特性が十分ではなく、窒化ホウ素は結晶構造に由来する異方性を有しそのため樹脂組成物中で均一な誘電特性を得られず、窒化アルミニウム、酸化マグネシウム、炭酸マグネシウムは耐水性が低いため誘電特性は十分なものではなかった。したがって、熱伝導性と誘電特性の両方を兼ね備える材料は見いだせていなかった。
<Application>
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the resin composition of the present invention is used for a low dielectric heat dissipation material.
Generally, as a thermally conductive material, aluminum oxide is often used from the viewpoint of cost, and other materials such as boron nitride, aluminum nitride, magnesium oxide, and magnesium carbonate have also been used. However, these materials, for example, aluminum oxide does not have sufficient dielectric properties, boron nitride has anisotropy derived from its crystal structure, and therefore uniform dielectric properties cannot be obtained in the resin composition. Magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate have low water resistance and therefore do not have sufficient dielectric properties. Therefore, a material that has both thermal conductivity and dielectric properties has not been found.
 これに対し、本発明のスピネル粒子は、従来にはない高い純度を有しるため、優れた熱伝導性と誘電特性の両方を兼ね備えており、前記スピネル粒子を含有する樹脂組成物は、低誘電放熱材料に好適に用いられる。また、本発明のスピネル粒子の形状が球状あるいは真球状である場合、異方性が低減され樹脂組成物中で均一な誘電特性を得ることが可能となり、低誘電材料に特に好適に用いられる。 On the other hand, the spinel particles of the present invention have an unprecedentedly high purity and therefore have both excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric properties, and the resin composition containing the spinel particles has a low purity. Suitable for use in dielectric heat dissipation materials. Further, when the shape of the spinel particles of the present invention is spherical or true spherical, anisotropy is reduced and it becomes possible to obtain uniform dielectric properties in the resin composition, so that it is particularly suitable for use as a low dielectric material.
 本発明の樹脂組成物が、熱伝導性、及び誘電特性に優れることから、単層又は多層であるプリント基板、フレキシブルプリント基板等の基材・基板として用いることができる。また、配線用、特に高周波信号の配線用の絶縁材料として、例えばカバーレイ、ソルダーレジスト、ビルドアップ材、層間絶縁剤、ボンディングシート、層間接着剤、フリップチップボンダー用のバンプシートとして好適に用いることができる。 Since the resin composition of the present invention has excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric properties, it can be used as a base material/substrate for single-layer or multilayer printed circuit boards, flexible printed circuit boards, and the like. It can also be suitably used as an insulating material for wiring, especially for high-frequency signal wiring, such as cover lays, solder resists, build-up materials, interlayer insulating materials, bonding sheets, interlayer adhesives, and bump sheets for flip chip bonders. Can be done.
 その他、スピネル粒子は、宝石類、触媒担体、吸着剤、光触媒、光学材料、蛍光体、耐熱絶縁材料、基板、センサー等の用途にも使用することができる。 In addition, spinel particles can be used for jewelry, catalyst carriers, adsorbents, photocatalysts, optical materials, phosphors, heat-resistant insulating materials, substrates, sensors, etc.
 本発明の一形態によれば、上述の樹脂組成物を成形してなる成形物が提供される。成形物に含有される、本発明のスピネル粒子は熱伝導性および誘電特性に優れることから、当該成形物は、好ましくは低誘電放熱部材として使用される。これにより、機器の放熱機能を向上させることができ、機器の小型軽量化、高性能化に寄与できるだけでなく、高周波回路において通信機能の高機能化に寄与することができる。 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a molded article formed by molding the above-mentioned resin composition is provided. Since the spinel particles of the present invention contained in the molded article have excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric properties, the molded article is preferably used as a low dielectric heat dissipation member. As a result, the heat dissipation function of the device can be improved, which not only contributes to making the device smaller and lighter and has higher performance, but also contributes to higher communication functions in high-frequency circuits.
