Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to compositions and in particular to compositions having phosphorous-containing compounds.
- Synthetic resins are widely used in both industrial and consumer electronics because of, among other things, their chemical resistance, mechanical strength and electrical properties.
- synthetic resins can be used in electronics as protective films, adhesive materials and/or insulating materials, such as interlayer insulating films.
- the synthetic resins need to provide ease of handling and certain necessary physical, thermal, electrical insulation and moisture resistance properties.
- synthetic resins having a low dielectric constant, a high solubility and a low moisture uptake as well as a high glass transition temperature (Tg) can be desirable combination of properties for electrical applications.
- synthetic resins in electronic applications can also influence the electrical signals generated in the electronics. Increases in electrical signal frequency in an electronic system (e.g., a computer system) allows for data to be processed at a higher rate. Synthetic resins in the vicinity of such electrical signals, however, can exert a large influence on transmission loss of such electrical signals in a high frequency circuit. To minimize this influence, synthetic resins having a low dielectric constant and a low dissipation factor, in addition to the other properties discussed above, are desired.
- Synthetic resins can be flammable. As such, different approaches have been made to impart flame resistance to synthetic resins. Two main approaches have been taken to providing flame resistance. The first is a "Green" approach in which halogen-free compounds are used. The second approach makes use of halogen compounds.
- Halogenated compounds have been used for decades in the electronic industry to impart flame resistance to electrical and electronic assemblies.
- tetrabromobisphenol- A (TBBA) has been a workhorse flame resistance in electrical laminates for many years.
- Halogenated compounds are now being scrutinized by environmental groups due to the possibility of brominated dioxin formation during the incineration of electronic components at their end of life.
- the burning of the components is regulated and controlled, however, in developing countries, burning is often unregulated, increasing the likelihood of brominated dioxin release into the atmosphere.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a composition that includes a phosphorous-containing compound, a cyanate ester, and an epoxy resin.
- the composition can also include a maleimide.
- a viscosity of the composition increases less than 100% as measured by Gardner Bubble Viscosity at a temperature of 23 °C in at least 3 days.

- Embodiments of the present disclosure further include a composition that includes the phosphorous-containing compound, the cyanate ester, and the aprotic solvent.
- the composition can also include the epoxy resin and a maleimide.
- a Masterblend compound can be formed with the epoxy resin and the maleimide, where the Masterblend compound can then be used in the composition of the present disclosure.

- Compositions of the present disclosure provide the advantage of being halogen free while acting as a flame retardant for cured compositions formed with at least a portion of the composition.
- Such cured compositions of the present composition can also have suitable thermal and electrical properties useful as protective films, adhesive materials and/or insulating materials in a variety of electronic applications.
- compositions of the present disclosure include phosphorous- containing compounds that do not contain and/or include an aliphatic alcohol (e.g., primary and/or secondary alcohols).
- an aliphatic alcohol e.g., primary and/or secondary alcohols

- Adequate results can be achieved on a small ( ⁇ 100 g) scale in a static system such as a vacuum oven.
- Another method is to heat the reaction products with flowing nitrogen (air is less preferred) in a way that the nitrogen filters through the reaction products and removes entrained alcohols.
- nitrogen air is less preferred
- a wiped-film evaporator might also be used.
- thermogravimetric trace analysis it was found that weight loss from DOP-BN continues at temperatures up to 170 °C. For example, after 45 minutes at 170 °C an additional 2 wt.% is lost from DOP-BN.
- Analysis of evolved gases from the DOP-BN by a pyrolysis mass spectroscopy indicates that n-butanol is the primary component. This extraordinarily slow loss of alcohol at temperatures well above the boiling point ( «-butanol boils at 1 17 °C at 1 bar) is likely due to chemistry that makes subtle changes to the composition and liberates butanol. This shows that unusual conditions are necessary to 'dry' DOP-BN.

Finally, after all the necessary adjustments, 70 - 90 feet of prepreg was prepared. It is desired to get a smooth prepreg, because defects in the prepreg can translate into laminate defects. Laminates were pressed from eight prepreg layers with a press operating at high temperature and pressure (initial conditions: ramp to 1 13 °C at 5.5 °C/min at 951.5 kPa, hold for 10 sec, ramp to 221 °C at 5.5 °C/min at 517.1 kPa, hold for 10 sec, cool to room temperature at 8.3 °C/min). After the press conditions were optimized to get an ideal laminate thickness of approximately 1 .4 mm, thin copper sheets were placed above and below eight prepreg sheets and Cu-clad laminates were pressed.
- the prepreg formed above was cut into eight samples (30 cm X 30 cm samples) and then a laminate was formed from the prepreg samples as follows: eight layers of prepregs together with two layers of copper were pressed together at 190 °C for 90 minutes to obtain a laminate having a TMA thickness of about 1.48 mm.
- the laminate had a TMA Tg of about 163 °C, a CTE of 40.2/241.9 ppm/°C (below Tg / above Tg), and a T-288 greater than 60 minutes.
- the copper peel strength of the laminate was about 14.3 N/cm.
- the laminate passed the UL 94 flammability V-0 rating. The V-0 rating is more stringent, and is required for many consumer electronics applications.
