Description
POLYIMID CROSS-LINKED BY USE OF COMPOUND COMPRISING AT LEAST TWO RESIDUES OF OXAZOLINE OR AT LEAST TWO RESIDUES OF DIHYDRO-1 ,3-OXAZINE
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a novel cross-linkable composition comprising an oligo- or polyimide. It also relates to an article produced by us of such a
composition, in which the oligo- or polyimide optionally has been cross-linked. Further, it relates to a method for obtaining a cross-linked oligo- or polyimide.
Background
Polymers has for long been used as replacement material for other materials, such as metals. They have the advantage of being light-weight materiel, which are relative easy to shape. However, polymers do typically have lower mechanical strength compared to metals and are less heat resistant.
The need for resistant polymers led to the development of aromatic polyimides. Polyimides are polymers comprising imide bonds. Aromatic polyimides are typically synthesized by condensation of aromatic carboxylic acid dianhydride monomers, such as pyromellitic dianhydride, 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride, 2,2-bis-[4-(3,4- dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl]-propane dianhydride, 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride or 3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxybiphenyl dianhydride, with aromatic diamine monomers, such as 4,4'-oxydianiline, 1,4-diaminobenzene, 1,3-diaminobenzene, 1,3- bis-(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, 1 ,3-bis-(3-aminophenoxy)benzene, methyl enedianiline or 3,4'-oxydianiline. As an example, polyimides obtained via condensation of pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4'-oxydianiline are among others sold as polyimide films under the trademarks Kapton®. They are materials which are lightweight and flexible, and which have good resistant to heat and chemicals.
Further, thermoset polyimides have inherent good properties, such as wear and friction properties, good electrical properties, radiation resistance, good cryogenic temperature stability and good flame retardant properties. Therefore, they are used in the electronics industry for flexible cables, as an insulating film on magnet wire, for medical tubing, as surface protecting layer and interlayer dielectrics of semiconductor chip. Polyimide materials are also used in high or low temperature exposed applications
as structural parts were the good temperature properties is a prerequisite for the function.
The need to improve the processability, while keeping the mechanical properties, of polyimides for use in airplanes and aerospace applications led to the introduction of cross-linking technologies. As the polymer chains are cross-linked, they may be shorter whilst the mechanical properties are maintained or even improved. Shorter polymer chains have the advantage of being easier to process, as the viscosity of the polymer melt is lower. Examples of such cross-linking technologies include thermoset polyimides containing phenylethynyl-substituted aromatic species as reactive moieties.
As an example, polyimides end-capped with phenyl ethynyl phtalic anhydride (PEP A) have found use in the art. US 5,567,800 discloses phenylethynyl terminated imide oligomers (PETIs). Such oligomers may be prepared by first preparing amino terminated amic acid oligomers from dianhydride(s) and an excess of diamine(s) and subsequently end-cap the resulting amino terminated amic acid oligomers with phenylethynyl phtalic anhydride (PEP A). The amic acid oligomers are subsequently dehydrated to the corresponding imide oligomers. Upon heating, the triple bonds will react and cross-link the end-capped polyimid, thereby improving its heat resistance and mechanical strength. As disclosed by US 5,567,800 heating to at least 350°C is necessary to cure the PETI. As an alternative to PEP A, also ethynyl phtalic anhydride (EPA) has been used as cross-linker in polyimides (Hergenrother, P. M., "Acetylene- terminated Imide Oligomers and Polymers Therefrom", Polymer Preprints, Am. Chem. Soc, Vol. 21 (l), p. 81-83, 1980).
Although the mechanical as well as the thermal stability will be improved by use of such cross-linking system they suffer form other disadvantages limiting their use in certain applications. Especially, the polyimide, once cross-linked, will have a deep- red color, although being transparent. The typically red color resulting from the heat induced cross-linking of carbon-carbon triple bonds is an inherent feature of the system.
Colorless polyimide materials are deemed to be highly interesting for use in applications such as flexible electronics, e-paper, etc.
Thus, there is need within the art for alternative cross-linking systems for polyimides, which may be used to obtain cross-linked, transparent and essentially colorless polyimides.

Ring structures containing 5, 6, 7 and 8 carbon atoms would be single-ring aromatic groups, for example phenyl. Ring structures containing 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 carbon atoms would be polycyclic, for example naphthyl. The aromatic ring may be substituted at one or more ring positions. The term "aryl" also includes polycyclic ring systems having two or more cyclic rings in which two or more carbons are common to two adjoining rings (the rings are "fused rings") wherein at least one of the rings is aromatic, for example, the other cyclic rings may be cycloalkyls, cycloalkenyls, cycloalkynyls, and/or aryls.

A non-limiting example of substitutable atoms includes the carbon-atoms of pyridine. The nitrogen-atom of pyridine is not substitutable according to this definition. Embodiments
It has been found that an essentially colorless cross-linked aromatic oligo- or polyimide, may be obtained by heating a composition comprising an aromatic oligo- or polyimide, having at least one, such as at least 2, 5, 10 or even 15, aromatic pendant free hydroxyl group(s) (-OH) or at least one, such as at least 2, 5, 10 or even 15, pendant free carboxy group(s) (-C(O)OH or -C(0) a compound comprising at least two residues of oxazoline, such as at least two
groups, or at least two residues of
dihydro- 1 ,3-oxazine, such as at least two
groups. Such a cross-linked oligo- or polyimide, in addition to being essentially colorless, will also typically be transparent. Thus, an embodiment relates to such a composition. Furthermore, the heat and chemical resistance will be improved by the cross-linking. Thus, such a cross-linked oligo- or polyimide may found use in applications in which there is a demand for color-less polymers displaying good chemical resistance and thermal stability. In addition, such a system may be cross-linked at a significantly lower temperature compared PEPA, such as at temperatures of 200 to 250°C
Typically, the aromatic group to which the pendant free hydroxyl or pendant free carboxy group is directly, or indirectly, bound will be part of the oligomer or polymer backbone. Although, and oligo- or polyimidesmay have free carboxy groups as end-groups, further reactive groups along the oligomer or polymer backbone has been found to be necessary for efficient cross-linking. Without being bounded be any theory, it is believed that cross-linking is achieved by having the oxazoline or dihydro-1,3- oxazine residues react with the pendant free aromatic hydroxyl groups, or with the pendant free carboxy groups. Contrary to cross-linking via ethynyl groups, such cross- linking as described herein results in an essentially colorless cross-linked material.
Further, the weight ratio between the oligo- or polyimide and the compound comprising at least two residues of oxazoline, or at least two residues of dihydro-1,3- oxazine in the composition may be 99.5 :0.5 to 4: 1 , such as 99: 1 to 9: 1. Furthermore, the molar ratio between the oligo- or polyimide and the compound comprising at least two residues of oxazoline, or at least two residues of dihydro -1,3 -oxazine in the composition may be 100: 1 to 1 :2, such 10:1 to 1 : 1.
According to an embodiment, the molar amount of the compound comprising at least two residues of oxazoline, or at least two residues of dihydro-l,3-oxazine, in the composition is selected in a manner such that number of residues of oxazoline or dihydro-l,3-oxazine is from 0.25 to 2, such 0.5 to 1.0, times the number of pendant free carboxy or aromatic hydroxyl groups of the oligo- or polyimide. Unreacted cross-linker, i.e. the compound comprising at least two residues of oxazoline, or at least two residues of dihydro- 1,3-oxazine, may act as plasticizer. Thus, the compound comprising at least two residues of oxazoline, or at least two residues of dihydro- 1,3 -oxazine, is preferably present in stoichiometric or sub- stoichiometric amount with respect to the molar
amount of pendant free carboxy or aromatic hydroxyl of the oligo- or polyimide in the composition.
Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that the molar amount of residues of oxazoline or dihydro-l,3-oxazine will affect the ratio of inter vs. intra molecular cross-linking. The two types of cross-linking are believed to affect the properties of the oligo- or polyimide in various ways. Accordingly, the properties of the cross-linked oligo- or polyimide may be controlled by varying the relative molar amount of the compound comprising at least two residues of oxazoline, or at least two residues of dihydro-l,3-oxazine, in the composition.
