Description
Glue-coated rolled copper foil and manufacturing method thereof Technical Field The invention relates to a glue-coated rolled copper foil and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a rolled copper foil substrate with a specific grain structure, which is obtained through differential rolling and segmented annealing cooperative control for inhibiting complete recrystallization, and a functional adhesive layer is compounded on the surface of the rolled copper foil substrate, so that a composite rolled copper foil with good interface bonding stability is obtained, and on the premise of not reducing the coating line speed and not increasing the thickness of the metal foil, how to inhibit crack initiation of the metal foil in a flanging and lap joint area in a high-speed coating process is realized. Background The rolled copper foil is widely applied to the fields of flexible circuits, flexible shielding layers, high-speed cables and the like due to the excellent ductility and fatigue resistance. In practical applications, the rolled copper foil is usually compounded with other functional layers or structural layers by gluing, so that the stability of the interface bonding between the copper foil and the adhesive layer becomes a key factor affecting the reliability of the product. In the prior art, in order to improve the bonding force between the adhesive layer and the copper foil, one of the following modes is generally adopted (1) roughening or chemical modification treatment is carried out on the surface of the copper foil, (2) a special adhesive with high polarity or high bonding force is adopted, and (3) the thickness of the adhesive layer is increased to improve the fault tolerance of an interface. However, the applicant found that the process is complicated and the stability is affected by batch when relying on surface roughening or chemical modification, the interface is easy to generate shear stress concentration under the repeated bending or thermal cycle conditions to cause delamination or peeling, and the interface stress state is difficult to be fundamentally improved simply by improving the adhesive force of the adhesive layer. Therefore, there is a need for a rubberized, rolled copper foil and a method of making the same that is capable of improving the interface stress pattern from the material internal structural level without relying on dedicated chemical coupling modifications to the copper surface, thereby improving the bonding stability between the bondline and the rolled copper foil. Disclosure of Invention The invention aims to provide a rubberized rolled copper foil and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein an elongated grain structure which is continuously fibrotically distributed along a rolling direction is built in a rolled copper foil base material, so that the interface stress state of the rolled copper foil after being compounded with a functional adhesive layer is improved, and the interface bonding stability between the functional adhesive layer and the rolled copper foil is improved. The method has the core technology that an elongated grain structure which is continuously fibrotically distributed along the rolling direction is constructed in the rolled copper foil base material through the cooperative control of differential rolling and segmented annealing for inhibiting complete recrystallization, and the structure is used in a composite system with a functional adhesive layer so as to improve the stress state of a composite interface and the interface bonding stability. 1. Mechanism for constructing continuous fibrosis elongated grain structure The invention does not adopt common symmetrical cold rolling and complete recrystallization annealing to prepare the rolled copper foil, but obtains the rolled copper foil base material through the following cooperative process paths: 1) Introducing differential rolling in the cold rolling process of high total reduction rate; 2) In the cold rolling process, a sectional annealing is performed when the cumulative rolling reduction reaches a certain interval to recover partial plasticity and suppress complete recrystallization. The obtained grain structure is different from the common rolled copper foil structure which mainly comprises equiaxed recrystallized grains or is only locally elongated in the prior art, and the difference can be comprehensively judged by combining indexes such as AR, ftex, rho, recrystallized volume fraction and the like carried by the specification. The key point of the invention is that under the action of repeated bending or thermal stress, the stress state of the composite interface can influence the interface reliability of the gluing rolled copper foil. The continuous fiberization elongation grain structure is beneficial to improving the load transmission mode of the rolled copper foil base material in the bending or thermal deformation process, thereby being beneficial to improving the interfa
