Abstract

A prepreg for printed wiring boards that has a low coefficient of thermal expansion in a plane direction, has excellent heat resistance and drilling workability, and, at the same time, can retain a high level of flame retardance includes a base material, a resin composition impregnated into or coated on the base material, and huntite. The resin includes (A) an inorganic filler that is a mixture composed of a hydromagnesite represented by xMgCO 3 ·yMg(OH) 2 ·zH 2 O wherein x:y:z is 4:1:4, 4:1:5, 4:1:6, 4:1:7, 3:1:3, or 3:1:4; (B) an epoxy resin; and (C) a curing agent. The prepreg can be used to prepare a laminated sheet and a metal foil-laminated sheet.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A prepreg, comprising:
a base material; and
a resin composition impregnated into or coated on said base material,
the resin composition comprising:
(A) an inorganic filler that is a mixture composed of a hydromagnesite represented by formula (1):
x MgCO 3 ·y Mg(OH) 2 ·z H 2 O  (1)

wherein x:y:z is
4:1:4,
4:1:5,
4:1:6,
4:1:7,
3:1:3, or
3:1:4

and huntite;
(B) an epoxy resin;
(C) a curing agent; and
(D) a silicone powder.

2. A laminated sheet comprising a lamination-molded product of a prepreg according to claim 1 .

3. A metal foil-clad laminated sheet comprising
a lamination-molded product of a prepreg according to claim 1 and
a metal foil provided on the prepreg.

4. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the hydromagnesite represented by formula (1) is one represented by formula (2):
4MgCO 3 ·Mg(OH) 2 ·4H 2 O  (2).

5. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the hydromagnesite: huntite weight ratio in the inorganic filler (A) is in the range of 10:90 to 45:55.

6. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the curing agent (C) is at least one material selected from the group consisting of cyanate ester compounds, BT resins, and phenolic resins.

7. The prepreg according to claim 6 , wherein the cyanate ester compound is a naphthol aralkyl cyanate ester compound represented by formula (5):

wherein R 11 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and q is an integer of 1 or more, or
the BT resin is a resin produced using the naphthol aralkyl cyanate ester compound represented by formula (5) as a raw material.

8. The prepreg according to claim 6 , wherein the phenolic resin is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of naphthol aralkyl phenolic resins, biphenyl aralkyl phenolic resins, and naphthalene phenolic resins.

9. The prepreg according to claim 6 , wherein the phenolic resin is a naphthol aralkyl phenolic resin represented by formula (6):

wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and n is an integer of 1 or more.

10. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the epoxy resin (B) is at least one of phenol novolak epoxy resins and aralkyl novolak epoxy resins.

11. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the epoxy resin (B) is an aralkyl novolak epoxy resin represented by formula (3):

wherein Ar 1 s, which may be the same or different, represent and Ar 2 represents or when present in plural which may be the same or different, represent an aryl group in which the substituent is a monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of a phenyl, naphthyl, or biphenyl group; Rxs, which may be the same or different, and Ry represents or when present in plural which may be the same or different, represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or aryl group; m is an integer of 1 to 5; n is an integer of 1 to 50; and G represents a glycidyl group.

12. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition further comprises a maleimide compound.

13. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the mixing amount of the inorganic filler (A) is 5 to 250 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight in total of the epoxy resin (B) and the curing agent (C).

14. The prepreg according to claim 1 , wherein the mixing amount of the epoxy resin (B) is 5 to 70 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight in total of the epoxy resin (B) and the curing agent (C).
