DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) The present invention provides a polymer with a low dielectric constant, having a molecular structure consisting of a main chain structure and a side group structure, characterized in that, the side group structure contains a benzene ring or diphenyl chain segment linked to the main chain structure, and a substituent having a rigid straight-chain structure is provided on a meta-position of the benzene ring or diphenyl chain segment.

(6) For the polymer molecular chain, there are several relaxation movement stages at different temperatures. Here, the temperature corresponding to the relaxation movement of the main chain segment of a molecule is known as the glass transition temperature, and the temperature corresponding to the relaxation rotation of the side group benzene ring is known as the β relaxation temperature. Because the β relaxation temperature is much lower than the glass transition temperature, when the polymer material is used at its glass transition temperature, the side group benzene ring on the main chain of the molecule can still relaxedly rotate with the main chain segment of the polymer frozen, the close packing of molecular chains can be inhibited by making use of this kind of dynamic rotation in combination with structure design, so as to obtain more free volume.

(7) Therefore, a method, in which a side group structure is introduced into a main chain structure of the polymer, the side group structure containing a benzene ring or diphenyl chain segment, and a substituent having a rigid straight-chain structure is provided on a meta-position of the benzene ring or diphenyl chain segment, wherein the side group structure is linked to the main chain structure via its benzene ring or diphenyl chain segment, is a molecular structure design method capable of reducing a dielectric constant of a polymer.

(13) Z is selected from any one of structures represented by the following structure formula and 0≤m<10:

(14) ##STR00012##

(15) The main chain structure of the polymer may be selected from all aromatic polymer structures, heterocyclic polymer structures or alkyl-chain polymer structures.
