Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a laminate in which at least a layer including a support, a primer layer, a first conductive layer, an insulating layer, and a second conductive layer are laminated, wherein the insulating layer is formed by coating at least a portion of or entirety of a surface of the first conductive layer with a resin composition and drying the resin composition; and the second conductive layer includes a second plating seed layer formed by coating a portion of or entirety of a surface of the insulating layer with a fluid containing a conductive substance, and a second plating layer formed on a surface of the second plating seed layer. This laminate has high adhesion between layers and allows the high adhesion to be maintained even upon exposure to a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A laminate in which at least a layer (A) including a support, a primer layer (B), a first conductive layer (C), an insulating layer (D), and a second conductive layer (E) are laminated, wherein the insulating layer (D) is formed by coating at least a portion of or entirety of a surface of the first conductive layer (C) with a resin composition (d) and drying the resin composition (d); the first conductive layer (C) includes a first plating seed layer (C-1) formed by coating a portion of or entirety of a surface of the primer layer (B) with a fluid (c-1) containing a conductive substance that is a transition metal or a compound of a transition metal, and a first plating layer (C-2) formed on a surface of the first plating seed layer (C-1); and the second conductive layer (E) includes a second plating seed layer (E-1) formed by coating a portion of or entirety of a surface of the insulating layer (D) with a fluid (e-1) containing a conductive substance that is a transition metal or a compound of a transition metal, and a second plating layer (E-2) formed on a surface of the second plating seed layer (E-1). 2. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer (D) contains at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a urethane resin (d1), a vinyl resin (d2), and a urethane-vinyl composite resin (d3). 3. The laminate according to claim 2 , wherein the urethane-vinyl composite resin (d3) includes a shell layer formed of a urethane resin (d3-1) and a core layer formed of a vinyl resin (d3-2). 4. The laminate according to claim 3 , wherein the urethane resin (d3-1) has 2,000 mmol/kg to 5,500 mmol/kg of an alicyclic structure. 5. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the primer layer (B) contains at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a urethane resin (b1), a vinyl resin (b2), and a urethane-vinyl composite resin (b3). 6. The laminate according to claim 5 , wherein the urethane-vinyl composite resin (b3) includes a shell layer formed of a urethane resin (b3-1) and a core layer formed of a vinyl resin (b3-2). 7. The laminate according to claim 6 , wherein the urethane resin (b3-1) has 2,000 mmol/kg to 5,500 mmol/kg of an alicyclic structure. 8. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein a resin forming the primer layer (B) and the insulating layer (D) has a cross-linkable functional group. 9. The laminate according to claim 8 , wherein the cross-linkable functional group is at least one thermally cross-linkable functional group selected from the group consisting of a methylolamide group and an alkoxymethylamide group. 10. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive substances contained in the fluid (c-1) and the fluid (e-1) are silver, and the first plating layer (C-2) and the second plating layer (E-2) are copper plating layers. 11. A conductive pattern comprising the laminate according to claim 1 . 12. An electrical circuit comprising the conductive pattern according to claim 11 . 13. A method for producing a laminate, comprising a step [1] of coating a portion of or entirety of a surface of a support with a primer for forming a primer layer (B), and coating a portion of or entirety of the coated surface with a fluid (c-1) containing a conductive substance to provide a laminate of a layer (A) including the support, the primer layer (B), and a first plating seed layer (C-1); a step [2] of plating a portion of or entirety of a surface of the first plating seed layer (C-1) to form a first conductive layer (C) in which a first plating layer (C-2) is formed on the surface of the first plating seed layer (C-1); a step [3] of coating at least a portion of or entirety of a surface of the first plating layer (C-2) with a resin composition (d) for forming an insulating layer (D) and coating a portion of or entirety of the coated surface with a fluid (e-1) containing a conductive substance to form the insulating layer (D) on a surface of the first conductive layer (C) and to form a second plating seed layer (E-1) on a surface of the insulating layer (D); and a step [4] of plating a portion of or entirety of a surface of the second plating seed layer (E-1) to form a second conductive layer (E) in which a second plating layer (E-2) is formed on the surface of the second plating seed layer (E-1).
