To material, particularly to the level of understanding of high performance material, grasp and application power, directly embody scientific and technological level and the economic strength of country.Matrix material is type material, because of its proof voltage, lightweight, can design, diversified function and the outstanding performance such as high temperature resistant, folding, be used widely in fields such as the Aeronautics and Astronautics over nearly 30 years, the energy, traffic, machinery, building, chemical industry, biomedicine and physical culture, 21 century Material Field opened one's arms and met the arrival in matrix material epoch.Along with matrix material development and application, matrix material has been formed in the middle of network penetration to industry-by-industry field.
Summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of preparation method of low dielectric constant base board, the low dielectric constant base board of preparation has low specific inductivity, can be used as electronic circuit materials, electrical insulating material application.
To achieve the above object of the invention, the technical solution used in the present invention is: a kind of preparation method of low dielectric constant base board, comprises the following steps:
(1) by mass concentration be 45% silicon sol, nano-hollow aluminum oxide mix with sodium lauryl sulphate, lauryl alcohol, oleic acid; 70 DEG C to be stirred after 15 minutes ultrasonic disperse 2 hours; Then add Sodium Persulfate, stir 20 minutes; Drip methyl methacrylate again, 80 DEG C are stirred 2 hours; Filler is obtained after drying;
(2) mix o-cresol formaldehyde epoxy resin and cyanate resin alicyclic monomer, 90 DEG C of stirrings added lauric acid Soxylat A 25-7 after 15 minutes, continued stirring 10 minutes; Then add N hydroxymethyl acrylamide, stir 15 minutes in 100 DEG C; Obtain resin prepolymer;
(3) successively benzoglyoxaline, filler are added in resin prepolymer, stir 2 hours in 120 DEG C; Then add phenoxy resin and continue stirring 2 hours; Then polyetherimide is added; Then stir 2 hours in 150 DEG C; Obtain compound system;
(4) inserted by compound system in the mould of 150 DEG C of preheatings, namely hot pressing obtain low dielectric constant base board.
In the present invention, in step (1), the mass ratio of described silicon sol, nano-hollow aluminum oxide, sodium lauryl sulphate, lauryl alcohol, oleic acid, Sodium Persulfate, methyl methacrylate is 1: 0.4: 0.1: 0.05: 0.3: 0.01: 0.4; The median size of described filler is 130nm.
In the present invention, in step (2), the mass ratio of o-cresol formaldehyde epoxy resin, cyanate resin alicyclic monomer, lauric acid Soxylat A 25-7, N hydroxymethyl acrylamide is 1: 1.4 ~ 1.6: 0.05 ~ 0.08: 0.14 ~ 0.18.
In the present invention, in step (3), the mass ratio of benzoglyoxaline, filler, resin prepolymer, phenoxy resin, polyetherimide is 0.06: 0.22 ~ 0.25: 1: 0.15: 0.1 ~ 0.12.
In the present invention, in step (4), heat pressing process is: 1MPa/150 DEG C/0.5 hour+1.5MPa/170 DEG C/2 hours+5MPa/200 DEG C/2 hours+5MPa/220 DEG C/2 hours.
In the present invention, organic object is the primary bond composition of resin base compound system, and the Nano filling of rigidity can be evenly dispersed in resin, improves intensity and the thermal level of its cured article; Present invention, avoiding especially between compound interface and occur hole, the formation of polymer interpenetration network can not be hindered, ensure the intensity of solidification composition board.For organic-inorganic dielectric materials, the dispersion of inorganic particulate is extremely important for obtaining compared with the matrix material of low-k; The matrix material that prior art uses the preparation of coupling agent treatment inorganic particulate better dispersed, but coupling agent can reduce thermotolerance and dielectric properties, the mechanical property of system, even can affect the solidification of organic materials, the cyanate to condition of cure sensitivity can be disturbed especially; The present invention, without the need to coupling agent, can improve the consistency between organism and inorganic particulate by compatibility organic system, is conducive to inorganic particulate dispersed better in polymeric matrix, thus improves the over-all properties of mixture.
In addition, in mixture disclosed by the invention, reactive group content is high, viscosity is little, so it is higher to participate in the transformation efficiency of polyreaction, what obtain after solidification is crosslinking polymer network, simultaneously due to the existence of filler and micromolecular compound, the spinability of intermolecular segment is better, product good mechanical property.Affect immanent cause mainly high-polymer molecular polarity size and the polar groups density of dielectric material performance.The transformation efficiency that the transfer being added with proton along with epoxide group, amine groups, lauric acid Soxylat A 25-7 facilitates ring-closure reaction increase cyanate functional group significantly improves; In hot pressing, when cyanate functional group conversions leads higher, reaction system mobility is deteriorated, and reacts and is controlled by diffusion process; The diffusion of lauric acid Soxylat A 25-7 in system is more easy, the cyanate group making the polarity that remains larger, epoxide group obtain reacting more fully, be more prone to generate a kind of high degree of symmetry, the cross-linked network structure of height steric hindrance, thus the dielectric properties of whole system are greatly improved.
In the present invention, by acid anhydrides, epoxy/cyanate ester resin, phenoxy resin and polyetherimide resin are combinationally used, the polymer body of excellent in mechanical performance, Good Heat-resistance can be obtained.By adding small molecules, the even density of filler in system, can obtain good mix, becomes the paste-like being easily prepared into and having mobility; Be conducive to polymer polymerization, increase the cross-linking set in system solidification process, obtain interpenetrating polymer structure, ensure the intensity of low dielectric constant base board.
Because technique scheme is used, the present invention compared with prior art has following advantages:
Rationally, between each component, consistency is good, has prepared low dielectric constant base board thus, has good mechanical property, resistance toheat, meets the development and application of low dielectric constant base board for the material system composition that the present invention utilizes.The advantage of comprehensive polymkeric substance, inorganic particulate two component, improves the shortcoming of two components, thus improves the over-all properties obtaining material; Solidification effect is good, crosslinking structure is even, micromolecular compound can as the compatilizer of macromolecule organic, increase the consistency of each component of system on the one hand, avoid on the other hand during hot-press solidifying, forming crosslinked uneven defect, ensure that resin system forms stable structure, mechanical property is strong, achieves beyond thought effect.
