Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing polyimide varnish.
- polyimide resins are obtained by polycondensation of aromatic tetracarboxylic anhydrides and aromatic diamines. Due to their structure, polyimide resins have molecular rigidity, resonance stabilization, and strong chemical bonds. Therefore, polyimide resins have excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and electrical properties, and are widely used in fields such as molding materials, composite materials, electrical and electronic parts, optical materials, displays, and aerospace. In recent years, polyimide resins have been increasingly used as materials for image display devices, particularly in optical and electronic materials, and colorless transparency is required. However, many conventional polyimide resins have a problem of high haze value and yellow index (YI: yellowness).
- Patent Document 1 proposes a film that includes a fluorinated polyimide layer having a total haze value of 4 or less, a yellow index of 3 or less, and a total light transmittance of 90% or more.
- Fluorinated polyimide can improve colorlessness and transparency and improve solubility, but some compounds belonging to the group of perfluoroalkyl compounds and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS; perfluoroalkyl substances and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are restricted substances in the European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations due to concerns about environmental burden and health hazards, and the regulations are expected to become stricter in the future.
- PFAS perfluoroalkyl compounds and polyfluoroalkyl compounds
- polyimides are generally insoluble in solvents and must be formed into a film at the stage of the precursor polyamic acid, making it difficult to control the imidization rate and polymer properties.
- solvent-soluble polyimide resins there has been a problem in that polyimide resins having a large number of aromatic rings in order to improve mechanical properties have low solubility in solvents and it is not possible to obtain a homogeneous varnish.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a polyimide varnish which contains a solvent-soluble polyimide resin and which can give a polyimide film having a high elastic modulus and excellent colorless transparency.
- the inventors discovered that the above problems could be solved by a method that uses a specific tetracarboxylic dianhydride and a diamine as raw materials and involves an imidization step in the presence of a specific catalyst and a solvent, and thus completed the invention.
- a method for producing a polyimide varnish comprising a step of imidizing a tetracarboxylic dianhydride containing a compound represented by the following formula (a1) and a compound represented by the following formula (a2), and a diamine containing a compound represented by the following formula (b1), in the presence of a base catalyst and an organic solvent containing a lactone solvent.
- a method for producing a polyimide film comprising: a coating step of coating a support with the polyimide varnish according to any one of [14] to [16] above to obtain a coating film; a primary drying step of drying the coating film and peeling it off from the support to obtain a self-supporting film; and a secondary drying step of drying the self-supporting film at 210° C. or higher.
- a method for producing a polyimide varnish can be provided that can produce a polyimide film that has a high elastic modulus and is also colorless and transparent. Furthermore, according to the present invention, a polyimide varnish containing a solvent-soluble polyimide resin can be produced. Therefore, the polyimide varnish produced by the production method of the present invention is useful as a raw material for optical materials and electronic materials, particularly display materials, and the polyimide film produced is useful as an optical material and electronic material, particularly display materials.
- a polyimide resin, polyimide varnish, and polyimide film having the above properties can be produced without using raw materials containing a perfluoroalkyl structure or a polyfluoroalkyl structure.
- the method for producing a polyimide varnish of the present invention includes a step of imidizing a tetracarboxylic dianhydride containing a compound represented by the following formula (a1) and a compound represented by the following formula (a2), and a diamine containing a compound represented by the following formula (b1), in the presence of a base catalyst and an organic solvent containing a lactone-based solvent.
- the polyimide film having a high elastic modulus and excellent colorless transparency can be obtained from the polyimide varnish produced by the method of the present invention.
- the reason why the method of the present invention can produce a polyimide varnish containing a solvent-soluble polyimide resin is not clear, but is thought to be as follows.
- the polyimide resin constituting the obtained polyimide film is considered to have excellent colorless transparency and solubility due to the cyclohexane structure, which is an alicyclic structure.
- it is considered to have a high elastic modulus due to the rigid structure of a biphenyl structure having a substituent.
- the imide ring adjacent to the cyclobutane structure has good packing, and by containing a small amount of this structure, it is considered that the elastic modulus is high while maintaining the above-mentioned performance.
- the solvent solubility can be significantly improved by imidizing such a polyimide resin in the presence of an organic solvent containing a base catalyst and a lactone-based solvent.
- the polyimide varnish produced by the method of the present invention can obtain a polyimide film having a high elastic modulus and being soluble in a solvent.

Abstract
Description
本発明はポリイミドワニスの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing polyimide varnish.
一般にポリイミド樹脂は、芳香族テトラカルボン酸無水物と芳香族ジアミンを重縮合して得られる。ポリイミド樹脂は、その構造から、分子の剛直性、共鳴安定化、強い化学結合を有する。そのため、ポリイミド樹脂は、優れた耐熱性、耐薬品性、機械物性、電気特性を有し、成形材料、複合材料、電気・電子部品、光学材料、ディスプレイ、航空宇宙等の分野において幅広く用いられている。
近年は、光学材料や電子材料の中でも画像表示装置の材料として応用が進んでおり、無色透明性が要求されてきている。しかし、従来のポリイミド樹脂は、ヘイズ値とイエローインデックス(YI:黄色度)が高いものが多いといった問題を有していた。この問題の解決策として、たとえば、特許文献1には、全ヘイズ値が4以下であり、イエローインデックスが3以下であり、全光線透過率が90%以上であるフッ素化ポリイミド層を含むことを特徴とするフィルムが提案されている。
Generally, polyimide resins are obtained by polycondensation of aromatic tetracarboxylic anhydrides and aromatic diamines. Due to their structure, polyimide resins have molecular rigidity, resonance stabilization, and strong chemical bonds. Therefore, polyimide resins have excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and electrical properties, and are widely used in fields such as molding materials, composite materials, electrical and electronic parts, optical materials, displays, and aerospace.
In recent years, polyimide resins have been increasingly used as materials for image display devices, particularly in optical and electronic materials, and colorless transparency is required. However, many conventional polyimide resins have a problem of high haze value and yellow index (YI: yellowness). As a solution to this problem, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a film that includes a fluorinated polyimide layer having a total haze value of 4 or less, a yellow index of 3 or less, and a total light transmittance of 90% or more.
前記の問題に加え、反応を伴わずにフィルムを形成することができることから、特に光学材料や電子材料の原料として、溶媒可溶性のポリイミド樹脂、また、それを溶媒に溶解したポリイミドワニスが求められている。
フッ素化ポリイミドは、無色性や透明性を向上させ、溶解性を向上させることができるが、ペルフルオロアルキル化合物及びポリフルオロアルキル化合物(PFAS;perfluoroalkyl substances and polyfluoroalkyl substances)の群に属する化合物の一部は環境に対する負荷や健康に関する有害性への懸念から欧州のREACH(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals)規則において制限物質となっており、今後もその規制は厳しくなることが予想される。こういった事情を背景に電子部品中にペルフルオロアルキル化合物及びポリフルオロアルキル化合物の使用が制限されることがある。
単に無色透明性を向上させるだけであれば、脂肪族原料や脂環式原料等を用いることで無色性や透明性を向上させることもできる。しかし、非常に重要な性能である機械特性が低下してしまい、ポリイミド樹脂の無色透明性と機械特性の両立は困難であり、PFASを原料として用いなくとも、無色透明性と機械特性のいずれにも優れるポリイミド樹脂が求められていた。
また、ポリイミドは一般的に溶媒に不溶であり、前駆体のポリアミック酸の段階でフィルム化する必要があり、イミド化率やポリマー物性の制御が難しく、前記のように溶媒可溶性のポリイミド樹脂が求められているが、機械特性を向上させるために芳香環を多数有するポリイミド樹脂等では、溶媒への溶解性が低下し、均質なワニスが得られないという問題もあった。
本発明はこのような状況に鑑みてなされたものであり、本発明の課題は、高弾性率を有し、更に無色透明性にも優れるポリイミドフィルムを得ることができ、溶媒可溶性のポリイミド樹脂を含有する、ポリイミドワニスの製造方法を提供することにある。
In addition to the above problems, there is a demand for solvent-soluble polyimide resins and polyimide varnishes prepared by dissolving such resins in a solvent, since they can be used to form films without any reaction, particularly as raw materials for optical and electronic materials.
Fluorinated polyimide can improve colorlessness and transparency and improve solubility, but some compounds belonging to the group of perfluoroalkyl compounds and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS; perfluoroalkyl substances and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are restricted substances in the European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations due to concerns about environmental burden and health hazards, and the regulations are expected to become stricter in the future. Against this background, the use of perfluoroalkyl compounds and polyfluoroalkyl compounds in electronic components may be restricted.
If it is only necessary to improve colorlessness and transparency, it is possible to improve colorlessness and transparency by using an aliphatic raw material, an alicyclic raw material, etc. However, the mechanical properties, which are very important performance, are deteriorated, and it is difficult to achieve both colorlessness and mechanical properties of a polyimide resin, so there has been a demand for a polyimide resin that is excellent in both colorlessness and transparency and mechanical properties without using PFAS as a raw material.
Moreover, polyimides are generally insoluble in solvents and must be formed into a film at the stage of the precursor polyamic acid, making it difficult to control the imidization rate and polymer properties. As described above, therefore, there is a demand for solvent-soluble polyimide resins. However, there has been a problem in that polyimide resins having a large number of aromatic rings in order to improve mechanical properties have low solubility in solvents and it is not possible to obtain a homogeneous varnish.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a polyimide varnish which contains a solvent-soluble polyimide resin and which can give a polyimide film having a high elastic modulus and excellent colorless transparency.
本発明者らは、特定のテトラカルボン酸二無水物とジアミンを原料とし、特定の触媒と溶媒存在下でイミド化する工程を有する方法によって上記課題を解決できることを見出し、発明を完成させるに至った。 The inventors discovered that the above problems could be solved by a method that uses a specific tetracarboxylic dianhydride and a diamine as raw materials and involves an imidization step in the presence of a specific catalyst and a solvent, and thus completed the invention.

The polyimide film having a high elastic modulus and excellent colorless transparency can be obtained from the polyimide varnish produced by the method of the present invention. The reason why the method of the present invention can produce a polyimide varnish containing a solvent-soluble polyimide resin is not clear, but is thought to be as follows.
The polyimide resin constituting the obtained polyimide film is considered to have excellent colorless transparency and solubility due to the cyclohexane structure, which is an alicyclic structure. In addition, it is considered to have a high elastic modulus due to the rigid structure of a biphenyl structure having a substituent. Furthermore, it is considered that the imide ring adjacent to the cyclobutane structure has good packing, and by containing a small amount of this structure, it is considered that the elastic modulus is high while maintaining the above-mentioned performance. And, it is considered that the solvent solubility can be significantly improved by imidizing such a polyimide resin in the presence of an organic solvent containing a base catalyst and a lactone-based solvent. As described above, it is considered that the polyimide varnish produced by the method of the present invention can obtain a polyimide film having a high elastic modulus and being soluble in a solvent. Furthermore, it is considered that the method of the present invention can obtain a polyimide varnish containing a solvent-soluble polyimide resin.
本発明のポリイミドワニスの製造方法において、前記テトラカルボン酸二無水物及び前記ジアミンのいずれもが下記構造要素(c)を含まないことが好ましい。下記構造要素(c)を含むことで、その原料及び得られるポリイミドフィルム(ポリイミド樹脂)がペルフルオロアルキル化合物及びポリフルオロアルキル化合物(PFAS)に該当することとなる可能性がある。本発明の製造方法によれば、ペルフルオロアルキル構造やポリフルオロアルキル構造を含む原料を用いなくても、高弾性率を有し、更に無色透明性にも優れ、溶媒に可溶であるポリイミド樹脂、及び、高弾性率を有し、更に無色透明性にも優れるポリイミドフィルムを得ることができる。

<Production of polyimide resin, polyimide varnish, and polyimide film>
Example 1
Into a 300 mL five-neck round-bottom flask equipped with a stainless steel half-moon shaped stirring blade, a nitrogen inlet tube, a Dean-Stark equipped with a cooling tube, a thermometer, and a glass end cap, 15.20 g (0.0715 mol) of mTB as a diamine, 1.81 g (0.0079 mol) of DABA, and 64.2 g of GBL as a solvent were placed, and the mixture was stirred at a rotation speed of 200 rpm under a nitrogen atmosphere with an internal temperature of 70° C. to obtain a solution.
To this solution, 14.26 g (0.0636 mol) of HPMDA and 3.12 g (0.0159 mol) of CBDA, which are tetracarboxylic dianhydrides, and 8.0 g of GBL as a solvent were added all at once, and then 4.02 g (0.0397 mol) of TEA as an imidization catalyst, 0.45 g (0.0040 mol) of TEDA, and GBL as a solvent were added. The amount of solvent at the start of the reaction was adjusted so that the concentration of the resulting polyimide resin was 30% by mass. The reaction system was heated with a mantle heater and the temperature in the reaction system was raised to a reaction temperature of 190 ° C. over about 20 minutes. While collecting the components distilled off, the reaction temperature was maintained at 190 ° C., and the reaction was refluxed for 1.3 hours to obtain a solution containing a polyimide resin. DMAc was added as a solvent so that the solid content concentration became 15% by mass, and the temperature in the reaction system was cooled to 50° C. to obtain a polyimide varnish containing a polyimide resin (solvent composition (by mass) in the varnish: GBL/DMAc=38/47). The evaluation results of the varnish are shown in Table 1.
The polyimide varnish obtained was then applied onto a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate, and the resulting varnish was held at 60° C. for 20 minutes as primary drying using a hot plate, then held at 80° C. for 20 minutes, and then held at 100° C. for 30 minutes. After peeling off the PET substrate, the resulting varnish was heated in an air atmosphere in a hot air dryer at 220° C. for 20 minutes as secondary drying to evaporate the solvent, thereby obtaining a polyimide film. The physical properties and evaluation results of the film are shown in Table 1.
実施例2~9及び比較例1~7
実施例1において、ジアミン、テトラカルボン酸二無水物、イミド化触媒の種類及び量を、それぞれ表1又は表2に示した原料に変更した。溶媒の種類は表1又は表2に示した溶媒に変更した。反応を開始する際の溶媒の量は得られるポリイミド樹脂の濃度が表1又は表2に示した濃度となるように調整した。そして、反応温度を表1又は表2に示した温度に変更した以外は実施例1と同様にして、ポリイミド樹脂を含むポリイミドワニスを得た。ワニスの評価結果を表1又は表2に示す。
なお、全ての実施例及び比較例を同様の状態で製造するため、重合反応の進行しにくい組成に対しては、反応時の濃度を高めに設定した。比較例2では、反応時の濃度を段階的に調整した。また、重合溶媒の沸点により反応温度(還流時の温度)を調整した。
更に実施例1において、一次乾燥の温度と時間及び二次乾燥の温度と時間を、それぞれ表1又は表2に示した温度及び時間に変更した以外は実施例1と同様にして、ポリイミドフィルムを得た。フィルムの物性及び評価結果を表1又は表2に示す。
なお、比較例2及び4のワニスは、樹脂が完全に溶解しておらず、不均一であり、均質なフィルムが得られなかった。比較例3のワニスは粘度が極めて低く、均質なフィルムが得られなかった。そのため、前記物性の測定及び評価を行うことができなかった。
Examples 2 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7
In Example 1, the types and amounts of diamine, tetracarboxylic dianhydride, and imidization catalyst were changed to the raw materials shown in Table 1 or Table 2, respectively. The type of solvent was changed to the solvent shown in Table 1 or Table 2. The amount of solvent at the start of the reaction was adjusted so that the concentration of the resulting polyimide resin would be the concentration shown in Table 1 or Table 2. A polyimide varnish containing a polyimide resin was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the reaction temperature was changed to the temperature shown in Table 1 or Table 2. The evaluation results of the varnish are shown in Table 1 or Table 2.
In order to produce all the Examples and Comparative Examples under similar conditions, the concentration during the reaction was set higher for compositions in which the polymerization reaction was difficult to proceed. In Comparative Example 2, the concentration during the reaction was adjusted stepwise. In addition, the reaction temperature (reflux temperature) was adjusted according to the boiling point of the polymerization solvent.
Furthermore, a polyimide film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the temperature and time of the primary drying and the temperature and time of the secondary drying were changed to those shown in Table 1 or Table 2, respectively. The physical properties and evaluation results of the film are shown in Table 1 or Table 2.
In addition, the varnishes of Comparative Examples 2 and 4 were inhomogeneous because the resin was not completely dissolved, and a homogeneous film was not obtained. The varnish of Comparative Example 3 had a very low viscosity, and a homogeneous film was not obtained. Therefore, the above physical properties could not be measured and evaluated.
表1に示すように、実施例のポリイミドワニスを用いて得られたポリイミドフィルム(ポリイミド樹脂)は、引張弾性率が大きいことがわかる。更に実施例のポリイミド樹脂(ポリイミドフィルム)は、全光線透過率が大きく、YIも小さいことに加えて、特にヘイズが優れていることがわかる。
一方、表2に示すように、比較例のポリイミドワニスは、ワニスに含有されるポリイミド樹脂の溶媒溶解性が劣り、フィルムを得ることができないか、フィルムが得られたとしても上記の性能を全て満足することができないものであった。
このことから、本発明のポリイミドワニスの製造方法は、高弾性率を有し、更に無色透明性に優れるポリイミドフィルムを得ることができるポリイミドワニスを製造できることがわかる。更に本発明の製造方法によれば、ペルフルオロアルキル構造やポリフルオロアルキル構造を含む原料を用いることなく、前記性質を有するポリイミドフィルムが得られることがわかる。
As shown in Table 1, the polyimide films (polyimide resins) obtained using the polyimide varnishes of the Examples have a high tensile modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, the polyimide resins (polyimide films) of the Examples have a high total light transmittance, a low YI, and are particularly excellent in haze.
On the other hand, as shown in Table 2, the polyimide varnishes of the comparative examples had poor solvent solubility of the polyimide resin contained in the varnish, and either a film could not be obtained or, even if a film was obtained, it did not satisfy all of the above-mentioned performance requirements.
From this, it is understood that the method for producing a polyimide varnish of the present invention can produce a polyimide varnish that can produce a polyimide film having a high elastic modulus and excellent colorless transparency. Furthermore, it is understood that the method for producing a polyimide film having the above properties can be produced without using a raw material containing a perfluoroalkyl structure or a polyfluoroalkyl structure.
