Abstract

One embodiment relates to a method for preparing a polyamide-imide film which is colorless and transparent and has good mechanical properties, easily and efficiently in terms of yield. Particularly, the embodiment relates to a preparation method capable of obtaining a polyamide-imide film of which the optical characteristics, mechanical properties and flexibility are harmoniously improved without complicated processes, by controlling the amount of imide repeating units and amide repeating units constituting the polyamide-imide film.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A process for preparing a polyamide-imide film, which comprises:
sequentially or simultaneously polymerizing monomers comprising an aromatic diamine, an aromatic dianhydride, and an aromatic dicarbonyl compound in a solvent to produce a polyamide-imide polymer solution;
casting the polyamide-imide polymer solution onto a casting body without separate steps of precipitation, drying, and redissolution to prepare a gel sheet;
removing the solvent contained in the gel sheet and thermally treating the gel sheet under an atmosphere containing 65% by volume to 85% by volume of nitrogen (N 2 ) and 15% by volume to 35% by volume of oxygen (O 2 ) to produce the polyamide-imide film, and
increasing the viscosity of the polyamide-imide polymer solution to 150,000 cps to 500,000 cps by adding more of the dicarbonyl compound,
wherein the polyamide-imide film has a yellow index of 5 or less, a transmittance of 88% or more, a haze of 2% or less, and a modulus of 5.0 GPa or more, and
wherein the aromatic dicarbonyl compound is terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and 1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-dicarbonyldichloride (BPDC), and the aromatic dicarbonyl compound comprises 1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-dicarbonyldichloride (BPDC) in an amount of 50% by mole to 70% by mole based on the total moles of terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and 1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-dicarbonyldichloride (BPDC).

2. The process for preparing a polyamide-imide film of claim 1 , wherein in the step of the thermal treatment, the gel sheet is thermally treated in a temperature range of 150° C. to 470° C. for 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

3. The process for preparing a polyamide-imide film of claim 2 , wherein the aromatic diamine comprises 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-diaminobiphenyl (TFDB), and the aromatic dianhydride comprises 2,2′-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6-FDA).

4. The process for preparing a polyamide-imide film of claim 1 , wherein the solvent is selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), m-cresol, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and chloroform.

5. The process for preparing a polyamide-imide film of claim 1 , wherein the monomers comprise the aromatic dianhydride in an amount of 20% by mole to 50% by mole and the aromatic dicarbonyl compound in an amount of 50% by mole to 80% by mole based on the total moles of the aromatic dianhydride and the aromatic dicarbonyl compound.

6. The process for preparing a polyamide-imide film of claim 1 , wherein the polyamide-imide film has a surface hardness of HB or higher based on a thickness of 20 μm to 70 μm.

7. The process for preparing a polyamide-imide film of claim 1 , wherein the polyamide-imide film has a transmittance of 89% or more and a haze of 2% or less based on a thickness of 20 μm to 70 μm.
