Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
In the present invention, an extrusion-casting coating method is used. The extrusion-casting coating method is a method for producing a film comprising the steps of extruding a polyamic acid solution from a single-channel die onto a self-supporting body, casting, drying, and then transferring the solution into a high-temperature oven for thermal imidization. As the casting apparatus, a known apparatus can be used. Examples of the casting apparatus include, but are not limited to, a rotating roll, a rotating belt, a moving plate, and the like. From the viewpoint of easiness in introducing the drying step after casting, a rotary belt is preferably used. As the material of the rotating roller, the rotating belt, and the moving plate, metal, cloth, resin, glass, magnetic devices, and the like can be used. From the viewpoint of structural stability of the film, metals are preferable, and from the viewpoint of easiness of peeling the film and corrosion resistance, stainless steel is most preferable. Further, in order to further improve the peeling property and corrosion resistance of the film, chromium-based, nickel-based, tin-based, or the like plating may be performed on the surfaces of the rotating rolls, rotating belts, and moving plates made of metal.
The liquid film formed by casting is dried in a drying oven and then formed into a gel-like film. In the present invention, a known drying oven can be used as the drying oven. Examples of the drying furnace include, but are not limited to, a hot air drying furnace, an infrared drying furnace, and the like. From the viewpoint of effectively drying the solvent, a hot air drying furnace is preferable. If the drying temperature is too low, the film cannot be sufficiently dried, and if it is too high, the solvent contained therein boils, which may prevent formation of a smooth film. In particular, fine defects tend to occur in a thin surface layer such as a thermoplastic polyimide layer, which becomes an adhesive layer. Thus, the drying temperature is preferably less than +50℃. Specifically, a multilayer film having self-supporting properties can be obtained by volatilizing at least a part of the solvent, preferably at 80 to 200 ℃, more preferably at 120 to 180 ℃.
The film dried in the above-mentioned drying furnace remains a solvent and the imidization reaction does not proceed sufficiently, so that the film is further dried in the firing furnace to complete the imidization reaction. As the firing furnace, a known firing furnace can be used. Examples of the firing furnace include, but are not limited to, a hot air firing furnace, an infrared firing furnace, and the like. These firing furnaces are preferably used in combination according to the degree of firing. Preferably, the heating is performed by a hot air firing furnace at 100-500 ℃ and then by an infrared firing furnace at 300-600 ℃. The imidization time is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set in a range of about 10 to 1800 seconds as long as the imidization and drying are substantially completed for a sufficient time.
The multilayer film introduced into the firing furnace may be held on or peeled off from the support, and in order to improve the melt flowability into the thermoplastic layer, the imidization ratio may be intentionally reduced or the solvent may be left. This improves adhesion to a conductor such as a copper foil.
The thermoplastic layer-thermosetting layer-thermoplastic layer polyimide composite film prepared by the preparation method has the thickness of the thermoplastic polyimide layer of 2-10 mu m, the thickness of the thermosetting polyimide layer of 4-40 mu m, and as shown in figure 2, the three polyimide composite films directly contact the polyimide layer of the support body and the polyimide layer at the opposite side of the polyimide layer without generating characteristic difference, the peel strength difference of the A/B surface is less than 0.5N/cm, and the polyimide composite film with the total thickness of-4% of the deviation of the film thickness composition rate in the film width direction can be prepared, so that the current requirement on the performance of the base film of the two-layer flexible copper-clad plate can be met.
The technical scheme of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the following specific examples, which are to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure.

Performance testing
1. Static thermo-mechanical analysis experimental method
Static thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA) A instrument TMA Q400EM static thermo-mechanical analyzer (room temperature to 400 ℃ C., 5 ℃ C./min) was used in the United states.
2. Mechanical property test experiment method
INSTRON 5567 universal strength tester, 5mm/min tensile rate, test temperature at room temperature (about 23 ℃) with an initial clamp span of about 20mm, sample dimensions of about 0.025mm thick, 15mm wide and 100mm long.
3. Test method for peel strength

L M =minimum load
W S = measured width of peel strip
The properties of the products obtained in Synthesis examples 1 to 5 were measured, and the results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 comparison of Properties of the products obtained in Synthesis examples 1 to 5
The properties of the products obtained in examples 1 to 7 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were measured, and the results are shown in Table 2.
Table 2 comparison of properties of the products obtained in examples 1 to 7 comparative examples 1 to 2
From examples 1 and 2 in Table 2, it is understood that the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic layer is lowered and the peel strength is improved as the ratio of the flexible monomer is increased. In comparative examples 1 and 2, examples 3 and 4, the film thickness was increased as a whole, but the peel strength was decreased, which may be related to the inability of heat to be transferred in time to melt the entire thermoplastic layer during hot pressing. The same comparative examples 5, 7 show that the composite films with different thickness ratios also maintain the above trend, and the overall tensile strength of the film is obviously improved with the increase of the thickness ratio of the middle thermosetting layer. Comparative examples 3 and 6 the overall tensile strength of the composite film was significantly improved as the viscosity of the PAA solution increased. The data of comparative example 1 show that although the TPI composite film prepared by three-layer coextrusion maintains good mechanical properties, the peeling strength has the phenomenon of overlarge A/B surface difference, and the thickness composition rate deviation is also overlarge. Whereas comparative example 2 prepared a TPI composite film by a double-sided coating method, the overall decrease in peel strength and tensile strength was significant. Therefore, in general, the polyimide composite films prepared in examples 1to 7 were uniform and controllable in thickness, and ultrathin TPI composite films could be prepared, with a deviation of film thickness composition rate in the film width direction of-4% to 4%, and a peel strength difference of the A/B plane of < 0.5N/cm. Meets the current requirements on the performance of the base film of the two layers of flexible copper-clad plates.
