Abstract

A curable composition which enables the formation of a cured product having a low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss tangent, high heat resistance, good elongation and excellent tensile strength and which has excellent film forming properties; a cured product of the curable composition; and a method for forming an insulating film using the curable composition. This curable composition contains a modified maleimide compound, a radical generator and a thiol compound. The curable composition may contain a photo-radical generator as the radical generator. The curable composition may contain a protonic acid.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A curable composition comprising a modified maleimide compound (A), a radical generator (C), a thiol compound (D), and a protic acid (E), wherein
the modified maleimide compound (A) has one or more groups represented by the following formula (a1):

and,
the group represented by the formula (a1) is bonded to a carbon atom in an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic group in the modified maleimide compound (A), wherein R a01 and R a02 are each independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 or more and 6 or less carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 or more and 8 or less carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 or more and 12 or less carbon atoms, and wherein
the protic acid (E) is selected from the group consisting of formic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, oxalic acid, phthalic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, glycolic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, maleic acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, myristic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, pyruvic acid, ascorbic acid, adipic acid, phenol, 1-naphthol, 2-naphtholmethanesulfonic acid, methylphosphonic acid, ethylphosphonic acid, and phenylphosphonic acid.

2. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the radical generator (C) comprises a photoradical generator (C1), and the curable composition is capable of being cured by exposure.

3. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the modified maleimide compound (A) is a maleimide modified polyphenylene ether resin (A1-1).

4. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the thiol compound (D) is a mercaptoalkanoate of a polyol having two or more hydroxyl groups.

5. The curable composition according to claim 4 , wherein the thiol compound (D) is 3-mercaptobutanoate of the polyol.

6. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the curable composition is a multi-agent mixed curable composition consisting of two or more agents comprising a first agent comprising the modified maleimide compound (A) and a second agent comprising the thiol compound (D).

7. The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the curable composition is used to form an insulating film.

8. A cured product of the curable composition according to claim 1 .

9. A method for forming an insulating film comprising: coating the curable composition according to claim 1 on an insulating film formation place to form a coating film; and curing the coating film.

10. The method for forming an insulating film according to claim 9 , wherein the curable composition comprises a photoradical generator (C1) as a radical generator (C), and the coating film is cured by exposure.

11. The method for forming an insulating film according to claim 10 , wherein the exposure to the coating film is position-selectively carried out, and the method further comprises developing the exposed coating film with a developing solution.
