- the present inventors have found that in the method using a carbodiimide compound, the imidization reaction proceeds in the resin as described above, and although the resulting cured product has excellent mechanical properties such as elongation at break, the active terminals become inactive due to acylurea formation, and the starting diamine may not react sufficiently, resulting in a large amount of aromatic amino groups at the resin terminals.
- the basicity of the produced resin increases, promoting imidization of the resin in the composition and reducing the storage stability of the composition.
- the amine value of the specific resin is 0.100 mmol/g or less.
- the present inventors have found that when the amine value of the specific resin is 0.100 mmol/g or less, imidization is less likely to proceed during curing. Therefore, the present inventors have found that the imidization rate of the specific resin can be increased to a relatively high value of 3 to 45% and that the specific resin is imidized to a certain extent in advance. In this way, it is believed that an increase in the imidization rate in the cured film improves, for example, the heat resistance and moisture resistance of the film, thereby improving the insulation reliability.
- a polyamic acid ester satisfying the following conditions (a) and (b) can be obtained by a method for producing a polyamic acid ester, which includes a step of polycondensing a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine compound in the presence of a carbodiimide compound as a condensing agent and an active esterifying agent: (a) the imidization rate is 3 to 45%; (b) the amine value is 0.100 mmol/g or less.
