Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of high-temperature-resistant high polymer materials, and particularly relates to cyano-containing polyimide, a polyimide film, polyimide powder and applications thereof in preparation of flexible copper-clad foils, cyano-containing polyimide/PEEK composite films and cyano-containing polyimide/Ph-PEEK composite films, wherein the cyano-containing polyimide, the polyimide film and the polyimide powder can be subjected to hot processing and have low Tg.
Background
Polyimide has excellent thermal stability, high mechanical strength and good dielectric property, and is applied to a plurality of high-tech fields such as aviation, aerospace, microelectronics and the like. Most aromatic polyimide resins, including Kapton film and the like, are not soluble in common organic solvents and are not melt-processed under heating, which also limits their wider application. Therefore, the preparation of a novel polyimide having processability, even if the imidized polymer has solubility or hot melt, is one of the important research directions in the field of polyimide preparation.
For aromatic polyimides, good hot melt processability requires polymers with low glass transition temperatures (low Tg) and high thermal stability. For example, commercial polyimide Ultem 1000 is a thermally processable resin, the main chain of which contains flexible ether linkages and isopropylidene groups, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) is around 217 ℃, and this low Tg has great advantages for melt processing of materials. Some research results show that the introduction of flexible linkages such as ether linkages into a polymer main chain having a rigid structure is one of effective strategies to improve polymer processability and solubility.
Besides the requirement of excellent thermal stability and good dissolution or melting performance, functional groups are introduced into the molecular chain of the polyimide, so that the polymer can be endowed with some new properties, and the material is provided with a wider application direction. For example, a trifluoromethyl group (-CF)3) The introduction of the group into the molecular structure of the polyimide can reduce the dielectric constant of the polymer, improve the gas permeability and increase the light transmittance of the film. For flexible copper clad laminates, the tie layer is an important component, directly affecting the performance and service life of the product. The main components of the traditional bonding layer are generally acrylic and epoxy resins, the service temperature of the traditional bonding layer does not exceed 150 ℃, and the traditional bonding layer is easy to age at high temperature, so that the service life of the flexible copper clad foil is greatly limited. The polyimide resin has good thermal stabilityThe polyimide flexible copper clad laminate has excellent mechanical properties, and therefore is one of ideal materials for replacing epoxy glue in the polyimide flexible copper clad laminate.
Polyimide is one of ideal matrix components of composite materials as one of engineering plastics with the most excellent thermal and mechanical properties, but is affected by poor processability of the materials, and the research on compounding the materials with other high polymer materials is not very much. Polyetheretherketone represented by Victrex PEEK is taken as a kind of wholly aromatic polymer, and has excellent comprehensive properties including excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, hydrolysis resistance, irradiation resistance and the like. However, the glass transition temperature is low, the high temperature section of the molecular chain section is easy to soften, the use of polyether-ether-ketone in the high temperature section is limited, and polyimide generally has excellent thermal stability and very high use temperature. The characteristics of the two are combined, the thermoplastic polyimide modified polyether-ether-ketone is hopefully prepared, and the composite material with excellent thermal and mechanical properties is obtained.
