Definitions
- This disclosure relates to a curable composition, a resin sheet, a laminate, a metal-clad laminate, and a wiring board.
- Wiring boards are used for applications such as electrical and electronic devices. Wiring boards can be manufactured, for example, as follows. A fiber substrate is impregnated with a curable composition containing a curable polymer and, if necessary, additives such as a flame retardant and an inorganic filler (also called a filler), and the curable composition is (semi-)cured to produce a prepreg. One or more prepregs are sandwiched between a pair of metal foils, and the resulting first temporary laminate is heated and pressurized to produce a metal-clad laminate. The metal foil on the outermost surface of this metal-clad laminate is used to form a conductor pattern (also called a circuit pattern) such as wiring. The outermost metal foil may be placed on only one side of the first temporary laminate.
- a curable composition containing a curable polymer and, if necessary, additives such as a flame retardant and an inorganic filler (also called a filler), and the curable composition is (semi
- the resulting wiring board can be further laminated with one or more prepregs, sandwiched between a pair of metal foils, and the resulting second temporary laminate can be heated and pressurized to form a conductor pattern such as wiring using the metal foil on the outermost surface, thereby producing a multilayer wiring board (also called a multilayer printed wiring board).
- the outermost metal foil may be placed on only one side of the second temporary laminate.
- the heated and pressurized prepreg contains a fiber base material, a resin, an inorganic filler, etc., and is also called a core base material.
- the core base material functions as an insulating layer.
- the resin contained in the prepreg is a (semi-)cured product of the curable composition, and the resin contained in the wiring board is a cured product of the curable composition.
- a wiring board used for this application is required to reduce transmission loss in the high frequency range.
- Transmission loss mainly includes conductor loss caused by the surface resistance of metal foil and dielectric loss caused by the dielectric tangent ( Df ) of the resin.
- a resin contained in a wiring board used for the above application is required to reduce dielectric loss in the high frequency range.
- the dielectric tangent ( Df ) depends on the frequency, and for the same material, the higher the frequency, the larger the dielectric tangent ( Df ) tends to be. It is preferable that the resin contained in the wiring board has a low dielectric tangent ( Df ) under high frequency conditions.
- the adhesion between the core substrate and the metal foil is important.
- Conventionally there is a technique for roughening the surface of the metal foil on the core substrate side in order to improve the adhesion between the core substrate and the metal foil.
- this technique is not preferable because it is prone to cause loss of high frequency current.
- Components are mounted on the surface of the wiring board using solder. In order to ensure the reliability of the wiring board when mounting components, it is preferable that the resin contained in the wiring board has good heat resistance.
- a resin layer capable of functioning as an adhesive layer can be provided between the core substrate and the metal foil.
- This resin layer can be a cured product of a curable composition containing a curable polymer.
- Patent Document 1 aims to provide a thermosetting composition which is suitable for use in metal-clad laminates and wiring boards, and which has a cured product having a low dielectric constant, a low dielectric tangent, high heat resistance, and high adhesion to resins.
- thermosetting composition containing an ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (A) and an inorganic filler (B) that has been surface-treated with a surface treatment agent having a polymerizable unsaturated bond (Claim 1).
- the amount of the inorganic filler (B) is preferably 30 to 500 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (A) (claim 2).
- the ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (A) is a curable polymer, and the diene unit, which is a structural unit derived from a diene, contributes to curing (paragraph 0019).
- the inorganic filler (B) can contribute to improving the heat resistance of the cured product.
- the thermosetting composition is cured, the polymerizable unsaturated bond of the inorganic filler (B) reacts with the diene unit of the ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (A), thereby increasing the crosslink density of the cured product and improving the heat resistance of the cured product (paragraph 0031).
- thermosetting composition described in Patent Document 1 contains a large amount of the inorganic filler (B) as one of the essential components, and preferably contains 30 parts by mass or more of the inorganic filler (B) per 100 parts by mass of the ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (A).
- a large amount of the inorganic filler (B) is difficult to disperse well in the composition and is prone to agglomeration in the composition, making it difficult to prepare a uniform composition and difficult to apply the composition thinly and uniformly to the surfaces of various substrates.
- thermosetting composition containing a large amount of inorganic filler (B) tends to have reduced adhesion to various substrates (also referred to as substrate adhesion) and a high (i.e., deteriorated) dielectric tangent ( Df ) under high frequency conditions.
- the present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a curable composition that can obtain a resin having a reduced inorganic filler content, effectively reducing the dielectric tangent (D f ) under high frequency conditions, and having good heat resistance and adhesion to substrates.

- a double-sided copper-clad laminate was obtained having a cured film made of the cured product of the curable composition between the core substrate and each copper foil. All of the obtained double-sided copper-clad laminates had good solder heat resistance and copper foil peel strength (substrate adhesion). It is believed that the use of a thermoplastic elastomer (E) with high crosslinking reactivity and an appropriate amount of a crosslinking agent (C) and a radical polymerization initiator (I) allowed the crosslinking reaction to proceed smoothly, and sufficient crosslinking structures were formed in the resin layer made of the cured product, between the core substrate and the resin layer, and between the resin layer and the copper foil.

- Example 101 no curable composition was prepared, and copper foil was directly laminated to both sides of a core substrate, with the roughened surface of the copper foil in contact with the core substrate, to obtain a double-sided copper-clad laminate.
- the resulting double-sided copper-clad laminate had poor copper foil peel strength (substrate adhesion).
- Examples 102 and 103 which used a comparative crosslinking agent (CC) that did not have a heteroatom, the compatibility between the crosslinking agent (CC) and the thermoplastic elastomer (E) was not very good, so the resin layer made of the dried curable composition had a poor appearance and the effect of improving the solder heat resistance of the cured product was unstable.
- CC crosslinking agent
- E thermoplastic elastomer
- Example 104 in which a comparative thermoplastic elastomer (EC) was used that did not have a structural unit derived from one or more alkylstyrene compounds having an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, the resulting double-sided copper-clad laminate had poor solder heat resistance and copper foil peel strength (substrate adhesion).
- the comparative thermoplastic elastomer (EC) has a low crosslinking reactivity, and therefore it is considered that a crosslinked structure was not sufficiently formed within the resin layer consisting of the cured product, between the core substrate and the resin layer, and between the resin layer and the copper foil.
- Example 105 in which no crosslinking agent (C) was used, and in Example 106, in which the amount of crosslinking agent (C) was less than 2.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total of the thermoplastic elastomer (E) and the crosslinking agent (C), the obtained double-sided copper-clad laminate had poor or unstable solder heat resistance. It is believed that the crosslinking reaction did not proceed well, and a sufficient crosslinked structure was not formed in the resin layer made of the cured product, between the core substrate and the resin layer, and between the resin layer and the copper foil.
- Example 107 in which no radical polymerization initiator (I) was used, the resulting double-sided copper-clad laminate had poor solder heat resistance and copper foil peel strength (substrate adhesion). It is believed that the crosslinking reaction did not proceed well, and a crosslinked structure was not sufficiently formed within the resin layer made of the cured product, between the core substrate and the resin layer, and between the resin layer and the copper foil.
- Example 108 in which the amount of the crosslinking agent (C) was more than 30 parts by mass relative to the total of 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic elastomer (E) and the crosslinking agent (C), the viscosity of the curable composition (varnish) with a solid content concentration of 5.0% by mass was low, and the thin-wall coating properties were poor.
- the obtained double-sided copper-clad laminate had poor copper foil peel strength (substrate adhesion). It is considered that the crosslink density of the cured product became too high, impairing the flexibility of the resin layer, and the resin layer became easily broken during the evaluation of the peel strength.
- the amount of heteroatoms contained in the cured product was large, so that the dielectric loss tangent (D f ) of the cured product at a frequency of 10 GHz was as high as 0.005.
- Example 109 in which 50 parts by mass of inorganic filler (F) was used per 100 parts by mass of the total of thermoplastic elastomer (E) and crosslinking agent (C), the thin coating properties of the curable composition (varnish) with a solids concentration of 5.0% by mass were poor, and the copper foil peel strength (substrate adhesion) of the obtained double-sided copper-clad laminate was poor. It is believed that aggregates of inorganic filler (F) were formed in the curable composition. It is also believed that the large amount of inorganic filler (F) made the resin layer made of the cured product brittle.
