Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of polymer films, particularly liquid crystalline polymer ⁇ CP) films.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,161,470 discloses a polyester of 6- hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and p-hydroxy benzoic acid capable of undergoing melt processing.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,184,966 discloses melt processible, thermotropic, wholly aromatic polyesters, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,279,803 discloses a polyester of phenyl-4-hydroxybenzoic and 4- hydroxybenzoic acid and/or 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.
  • Liquid crystalline polymer film or sheet has a number of well-known applications, including some that involve a lamination process. Examples include tape winding composite structures, cross lamination to provide balanced mechanical properties or thick structures, metal lamination for circuits, or lamination of circuit/dielectric layers for multilayer circuit boards.
  • LCP film can be molecularly oriented in the melt phase, uniaxially, biaxially, or otherwise. After the extruded LCP cools and solidifies, the molecular orientation is maintained, resulting in a film which may have anisotropic properties, such as enhanced mechanical properties in the direction(s) of orientation, e.g., high strength and stiffness.
  • the conventional technique for producing oriented LCP film involves introducing polymer pellets into a melt extruder and melt extruding a sheet of film which is drawn in the machine direction to produce monoaxially oriented film.
  • Biaxially oriented film is prepared by casting a molten sheet of the polymer onto a casting drum and then stretching (orientating) the cast sheet in a tenter frame apparatus in the longitudinal (machine) direction and in the lateral (transverse) direction to produce biaxially oriented isotropic film.
  • a tubular film inflation process can also be used to produce such film.
  • Film produced by such methods is perfectly suitable for most applications such as packaging or tape applications.
  • Oriented film can exhibit shape changes, shrinking, curling, and other distortions when heated in accordance with circuit board fabrication techniques. This distortion is caused primarily as the result of an imbalance of tensile modulus, tensile strength, tensile elongation, shrinkage and expansion properties as a function of the direction of film orientation. The resulting film distortion can adversely affect the integrity of the printed circuit board and can lead to circuit failure or lamination failure between adjacent laminated surfaces.
  • LCP film produced by conventional extrusion methods can have a number of defects such as holes, gels, black specks, gauge variability and the like which can detract from the dielectric properties of the film in circuit board applications.
  • One technique for improving the mechanical property balance in film material made from polyphenylene sulfide polymers is to incorporate chopped glass fibers into the polymer prior to extrusion or press molding the composition into a composite sheet material suited for circuit board construction.
  • Such sheets may also be formed by heat compressing a woven glass mat with a film of the polymer or heat compressing a glass mat containing the polymer in powdery, particulate form.
  • Another technique addressing heat distortion problems is to prepare uniaxially oriented LCP film and subsequently thermally laminate a plurality of such films together with their axes of orientation aligned in different directions in an attempt to balance out the mechanical properties of the laminated structure, as disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,384,016.
  • the present invention provides process for producing a continuous liquid crystal polymer film material having balanced dimensional stability comprising: (a) uniformly spreading a layer of powder particles of said polymer on a flat surface, said particles having an average particle size in the range of about 0.5 to about 250 microns,- (b) superimposing a second flat surface over said uniformly spread particles to form a sandwich structure; (c) subjecting said sandwich structure to uniform heat and pressure sufficient to form a nematic melt phase of said polymer; and (d) cooling said structure to form a liquid crystalline film.
  • the films produced according to the process of the invention demonstrate an improved balance of tensile strength, tensile modulus and tensile elongation properties as well as a balanced coefficient of thermal expansion compared with conventional films made by extrusion and mono- or biaxial orientation processes . These balanced properties render the film less susceptible to heat distortion when used as insulating dielectric layers in the construction of microelectronic circuit boards.

  • a liquid crystal polymer can be polymerized in a dispersion process which provides the product in powder form.
  • the polymer is prepared in the form of a fine dispersion in a liquid medium.
  • the polymer dispersion is created by heating the monomers with a catalyst in the liquid under high shear mixing, and the resulting polymer particles are stabilized by an agent that coats the surface of the particle to prevent particles from coalescing.
  • the monomers may be soluble in the liquid medium, but complete solubility is not required.
  • a variety of liquids or dispersion stabilizing agents that are sufficiently stable under the polymerization conditions may be used to prepare a liquid crystal polymer powder. The polymer powder must be separated from the liquid and washed to remove residual liquid.
  • the dry powder is free flowing and the particles are generally uniform spherical particles.

  • the sandwich structure is subjected to uniform heat and pressure sufficient to form a nematic melt of the polymer sandwiched between the outer sheets or foils, followed by cooling the film.

Abstract

On prépare des couches minces en polymère à cristaux liquides et des stratifiés de film en soumettant des particules polymères finement divisées à une chaleur et à une pression suffisantes pour constituer une phase de fusion nématique du polymère puis en laissant refroidir cette structure afin de former un couche mince. Les couches minces préparées à l'aide de ce procédé présentent un meilleur équilibre de propriétés de traction, une stabilité dimensionnelle améliorée et un coefficient réduit d'expansion thermique par rapport à des couches minces extrudées selon des techniques classiques, ce qui les rend mieux adaptées à servir de couches minces diélectriques lors de la fabrication de plaquettes de circuits imprimés.
