Field of the Invention polyimide without changing its molecular structure. The present invention relates to an improved polyimide The essential feature of the improved grade of polyimide and polyimide film prepared therefrom as well as a manu according to the present invention is that an organic phos phorus compound is incorporated in polyimide. facturing method of the polyimide film. 15 2. Description of the Prior Art The essential feature of the invented method of manufac Polyimide is known for its outstanding heat resistance, turing a polyimide film, on the other hand, is that an organic low-temperature resistance, resistance to chemicals, electric phosphorus compound is contained in, at least, either of a insulation property and mechanical strength etc, and has a polyimide precursor or a dehydration-cyclizing agent or the wide scope of use like, among others, electric insulation both before filming thereof. materials, heat insulation materials and base films for flex DETALED DESCRIPTION OF THE ible printed circuitboards (PCB). When used as material for NVENTION flexible PCB, which is an important use for a polyimide film, the manufactured PCB is often used for a prolonged period As polyimide, there may be included, according to the in a deformed state or subjected to repeated contraction or 25 present invention, all known grades of polyimide prepared bending. Hence, in this field of use, mechanical properties of by dehydration-cyclization of an organic solvent solution of a polyimide film are very important, especially its tensile polyamide acid as a precursor of polyimide obtainable strength and anti-bending property are critical. through reaction of an organic solvent solution of organic It is also often the case that polyimide film is used, as in diamine with organic tetracarboxylic acid dianhyhdride the manufacture of flexible PCB, in a form laminated with 30 under heating or by the use of a dehydration-cyclizing agent. a copper foil, adhesive layer and the like. In such a case the As organic diamines, there may be included, according to problem was that a laminated film as such with its thickness the present invention, any organic diamines represented by increased had its physical properties, especially repeated the general formula (I); flexural strength, markedly deteriorated or lowered. HN-R-NH2 (I) Hence, it was strongly desired to have the mechanical 35 strength of polyimide film as a base, flexural failure strength wherein R is an aliphatic group, a phenylene group, a in particular, much more improved when it was to be used naphthalene group, a biphenylene group, a by being laminated with a copperfoil and an adhesive layer. As will be described later, the present invention consists in mixing some organic phosphorus compound to polyimide, but as far as the present inventors investigated -G- group, prior arts involving the use of phosphorus compound as an N additive to heat resistant synthetic high polymer, they found out Japanese Laid-open Application No. 131249/82 and or divalent organic group of the general formula (II): Japanese Laid-open Application No. 221454/85. The 45 former relates to a thermoplastic polyamideimide resin composition in which organic phosphonite is mixed with aromatic polyamideimide and the latter discloses a tech nique relating to thermoplastic polyetherinide incorporating O)--(O) sterically hindered phenol to polyetherimide, aryl 50 where R is an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phosphonite, organic phosphonite etc. Polyamideimide and O O O O R3 polyetherimide are both thermoplastic resins and, moreover, I both techniques are aimed at preventing thermal decompo -O-, -S.-, -i- -C-, -CO-, -CNH-, -N-, sition of melted thermoplastics. Thus, any of the above identified prior arts neither discloses nor suggests anyway 55 O the technical concept of the present invention.
