Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a laminate or a copper-clad laminate. Conventionally, when manufacturing phenolic resin laminates or copper-clad laminates, a varnish made by diluting resol-type phenolic resin with an organic solvent such as methanol, acetone, toluene, or methyl ethyl ketone is used as a base material for laminates such as linter paper or kraft paper. After impregnation, the organic solvent was volatilized and dried in a hot air circulation drying oven. Therefore, a large amount of organic solvent is required, and energy costs for volatilization and drying of the organic solvent and waste gas treatment costs are required. Additionally, the solvent was flammable, creating a dangerous work environment. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a laminate or copper-clad laminate that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and streamlines the manufacturing process by reducing the use of solvents and drying steps. do. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention applies a resin composition consisting of a drying oil-modified novolak type phenolic resin and an epoxy resin in a heated and molten state to a cellulose paper base impregnated with a phenolic resin initial condensate. , is characterized in that a plurality of sheets of this base material are superimposed and molded under heat and pressure. Further, a copper foil is placed on at least one surface of the stacked base materials and then heated and press-molded. The phenolic resin initial condensate used in the present invention is
1~ obtained by reacting phenols and formaldehydes under a basic catalyst represented by a metal alkali such as caustic soda, caustic potash, or barium hydroxide, or an amine compound such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, dimethylamine, or diethylamine.
It is an initial condensate of dinuclear bodies. When this initial condensate is impregnated into a cellulose paper base material such as linter paper or kraft paper, it penetrates into the interior of the base material due to its hydrophilic properties. The drying oil-modified novolak type phenolic resin used in the present invention can be obtained by reacting formaldehyde with a drying oil-phenol adduct obtained by reacting phenols and drying oil in the presence of an acidic catalyst, or by reacting formaldehyde with a drying oil-phenol adduct obtained by reacting phenols and drying oil in the presence of an acidic catalyst. A novolac type phenolic resin obtained by reacting the following under an acidic catalyst is obtained by reacting a drying oil with a drying oil. The softening point of the drying oil-modified novolac type phenolic resin is preferably 100°C or lower in order to prevent it from gelling during the process of applying it to a base material in a heated molten state. In the present invention, an epoxy resin is added as a curing agent to a drying oil-modified novolak type phenolic resin.As the epoxy resin, alicyclic resins such as bisphenol epoxy resin, novolak type epoxy resin, cyclohexene, and cyclopentadiene are used. A conventionally known epoxy resin such as an epoxy resin obtained from a compound of the formula formula can be used. The appropriate amount to be added is 0.6 to 1.2 equivalents per equivalent of phenolic hydroxyl group of the drying oil-modified novolak type phenolic resin. Further, a curing accelerator such as an amine compound, an imidazole compound, a thiazole compound, etc. can be added as necessary. When applying it to a substrate, the heating and melting temperature of the dry oil-modified novolac type phenolic resin-epoxy resin mixed composition is preferably 100°C or less. Example 0.5 g of paratoluenesulfonic acid was added to 680 g of phenol and 350 g of tung oil, and after reacting at 80 to 85°C for 120 minutes, 195 g of 85% paraformaldehyde was obtained.
was added and reacted at 70 to 75°C for 150 minutes. After dehydration under reduced pressure, a tung oil-modified novolak type phenolic resin with a softening point of 65°C was obtained. 160 parts by weight of the obtained tung oil-modified novolak type phenolic resin, 140 parts by weight of epoxy resin (Epicoat #828), and 1 part by weight of benzyldimethylamine were mixed and melted at 70°C. It was applied to kraft paper which had been impregnated with % by weight and dried. The resin adhesion amount of the obtained coated paper was 51% by weight. A composition consisting of 8 sheets of the above coated paper and a 35μ thick copper foil layered on one side of the paper was heated at a pressure of 110Kg/cm ² and a temperature of 170℃.
A copper-clad laminate was obtained by molding for 55 minutes. Comparative example Add 0.5 g of paratoluenesulfonic acid and 50 g of methanol to 680 g of phenol and 350 g of tung oil, and add 80 to 85 g.
After reacting for 120 minutes at °C, add 25% ammonia water.
20g, add 250g of 85% paraformaldehyde
The reaction was carried out at 80-85°C for 270 minutes. Next, after dehydrating under reduced pressure, diluted with toluene to a resin concentration of 50% by weight.
A tung oil modified phenolic resin varnish was obtained. Kraft paper, which had been previously impregnated with 10% by weight of a phenolic resin initial condensate and dried, was impregnated with the tung oil-modified phenolic resin varnish and dried to obtain coated paper with a resin adhesion of 51% by weight. A composition consisting of 8 sheets of the above coated paper and a 35μ thick copper foil layered on one side of the paper was heated at a pressure of 110Kg/cm ² and a temperature of 170℃.
A copper-clad laminate was obtained by molding for 55 minutes. Table 1 shows the performance of the copper-clad laminates of Examples and Comparative Examples.

[Table] As is clear from Table 1, the performance of the copper-clad laminate according to the present invention is that it has higher insulation resistance, lower water absorption and heat shrinkage, and lower bending strength than conventionally manufactured laminates. , the punching workability is the same. Note that a laminate without copper foil attached has the same performance as the above example. According to the present invention, no solvent is used in the coating process of the drying oil-modified phenolic resin, and the coating is carried out in a heated molten state, thereby eliminating the need for a drying process. Additionally, energy costs and waste gas treatment costs can be reduced accordingly. Furthermore, since the dry oil-modified novolak type phenolic resin is cured using an epoxy resin, there is less curing shrinkage and volatile matter generation during the curing process, resulting in improved electrical performance and water resistance, and less dimensional change due to heating. Therefore, copper-clad laminates and laminates with less warpage and twisting can be obtained.
