Abstract

Disclosed is a halogen- and phosphorus-free flame-retardant adhesive resin composition which can be used in heat contact bonding of adherends at or below 250° C. and is excellent in heat resistance, solder heat resistance after moisture absorption, and processability. Also disclosed is an adhesive film produced from said composition. The flame-retardant adhesive resin composition comprises 65-98% by weight of a silicone unit-containing polyimide resin and 2-35% by weight of an epoxy resin having an acenaphthylene-substituted naphthalene skeleton. The adhesive film produced from the flame-retardant adhesive resin composition is suitable as an adhesive for a laminate for a multiplayer printed circuit board substrate, an adhesive for a hybrid circuit board substrate, and an adhesive for a coverlay film.

Claims (18)

1. A flame-retardant adhesive resin composition comprising a blend of a silicone unit-containing polyimide resin and an acenaphthylene-modified epoxy resin having a blend ratio of 65-98% by weight of the silicone unit-containing polyimide resin to 2-35% by weight of the acenaphthylene-modified epoxy resin;

wherein the silicone unit-containing polyimide resin is constituted of a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (1) and a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (2) at a molar ratio of the repeating unit represented by formula (1) to the repeating unit represented by formula (2) in the range of 50/50 to 10/90:

wherein in general formula (1), Ar 1 is a tetravalent aromatic group, R 1 and R 2 each is a divalent hydrocarbon group, R 3 and R 4 each is a hydrocarbon group of 1-6 carbon atoms, and m is a number of 1-20; and in general formula (2), Ar 1 is a tetravalent aromatic group and Ar 2 is a divalent aromatic group; and wherein the acenaphthylene-modified epoxy resin is obtained by epoxidation of a naphthol resin whose naphthalene ring is substituted with an acenaphthenyl group.

2. The flame-retardant adhesive resin composition of claim 1 further comprising 1-15 parts by weight of an epoxy resin curing agent per 100 parts by weight of the blend.

3. A fire-retardant adhesive film obtained by converting the flame-retardant adhesive composition of claim 2 into a film.

4. The flame-retardant adhesive resin composition of claim 1 , wherein 1-20% by mole of Ar 2 in general formula (2) is a divalent aromatic group having a functional group reactive with an epoxy group represented by the following general formula (3):

wherein in general formula (3), Ar 3 is a trivalent or tetravalent aromatic group, X is a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a carboxyl group, or a mercapto group, and k is 1 or 2.

5. A fire-retardant adhesive film obtained by converting the flame-retardant adhesive composition of claim 4 into a film.

6. The flame-retardant adhesive resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the acenaphthylene-modified epoxy resin has a structure represented by the following general formula (4):

wherein in general formula (4), A is a naphthalene nucleus, G is a glycidyl group, R is an acenaphthenyl group or a hydrogen atom, X is an alkylene group or an aralkylene group represented by —Y—Ar—Y—, p is a number of 0-15, q is 1 or 2, the proportion of the acenaphthenyl group in R is 10% by mole or more, Y is an alkylene group, and Ar is a divalent aromatic group.

7. A fire-retardant adhesive film obtained by converting the flame-retardant adhesive composition of claim 6 into a film.

8. The flame-retardant adhesive resin composition of claim 6 , wherein the acenaphthylene-modified epoxy resin has a structure represented by the following general formula (5):

wherein in general formula (5), A is a naphthalene nucleus, G is a glycidyl group, R 5 , R 6 , and R 8 each is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1-6 carbon atoms, R 7 is an acenaphthenyl group represented by the following formula (a) or a hydrogen atom, the acenaphthenyl group accounts for 10% by mole or more of R 7 :

p is a number of 0-15, and q is 1 or 2.

9. A fire-retardant adhesive film obtained by converting the flame-retardant adhesive composition of claim 8 into a film.

10. The flame-retardant adhesive resin composition of claim 1 wherein the composition is substantially free from halogens and phosphorus.

11. A fire-retardant adhesive film obtained by converting the flame-retardant adhesive composition of claim 10 into a film.

12. A fire-retardant adhesive film obtained by converting the flame-retardant adhesive composition of claim 1 into a film.
