Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive composition that exhibits good adhesion, chemical resistance, and moldability between polyolefin resin substrates and metal substrates. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adhesive composition containing an acid-modified polyolefin, a multifunctional polyisocyanate curing agent, and an organic solvent. In particular, the present invention relates to an adhesive composition for lithium ion batteries (hereinafter abbreviated as LiB), and a packaging material that is a laminate containing the same. . [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, LiBs, which can be made ultra-thin and compact, have been actively developed as batteries for use in personal computers, mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, video cameras, satellites, etc. Unlike the metal cans that have been used conventionally, the packaging materials for these LiBs have the advantages of being lightweight and allowing for flexible selection of the battery shape, and laminates with a structure such as a base layer / barrier layer / sealant layer have come to be used.

[0003] LiB contains propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, The battery contains an electrolyte layer made of an electrolyte solution in which a lithium salt is dissolved in an aprotic solvent such as dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, or ethyl methyl carbonate, or a polymer gel impregnated with the electrolyte solution. If such a highly permeable solvent passes through the sealant layer, it reduces the laminate strength between the barrier layer and the sealant layer, causing delamination and ultimately causing problems such as leakage of the electrolyte. The lithium salt used as the battery electrolyte is LiPF6, However, these salts react with water to generate hydrofluoric acid, which corrodes the barrier layer and reduces the laminate strength. Therefore, battery packaging materials must be resistant to electrolytes.

[0004] LiBs are also designed to withstand harsher conditions, assuming they will be used in a variety of environments. For example, when used in mobile devices, they must be leak-resistant in high-temperature environments of 60 to 70°C, such as inside a car. Also, when used in a mobile phone, they must be water-resistant to prevent water from seeping in if accidentally dropped into water.

[0005] Under these circumstances, various packaging materials for lithium batteries with improved electrolyte resistance have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

[0006] Furthermore, when a battery packaging material is used to encapsulate a battery element, it is molded using a mold to form a space for accommodating the battery element. During this molding, the battery packaging material is stretched, which can easily cause cracks or pinholes in the barrier layer at the flange of the mold. In particular, with the recent demand for smaller and thinner batteries, thinner battery packaging materials are required, making such problems more likely to occur.

[0007] Under these circumstances, battery packaging materials with improved moldability have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 4 and 5). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-243928 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-42477 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-238475 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-216714 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-31188 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] However, the above-mentioned proposed packaging materials for lithium batteries are still insufficient in terms of electrolyte resistance and formability, and even if the electrolyte resistance and formability are significantly improved, problems still remain. Specifically, it is difficult to ensure both the pot life of the adhesive after blending the curing agent and electrolyte resistance (Patent Document 1), the lamination machine is limited because bonding is performed by extrusion lamination, and the polyolefin substrate is affected by thermal shrinkage due to lamination at high temperatures (Patent Document 2), and the polyolefin base material is water-based, which requires a long drying time and limits production conditions (Patent Document 3). Furthermore, a process for coating the outer layer film surface with an amide-based slip agent is required, which reduces productivity, and the coated amide-based slip agent does not provide sufficient laminate strength between the outer layer film and the aluminum foil (Patent Document 4). Since only an unstretched polypropylene resin film is arranged on the inner side of the aluminum foil, or only a polypropylene and polyethylene blend resin film is arranged on the inner side of the aluminum foil, pinholes or breaks (cracks) easily occur in the aluminum foil when the film is molded into a rectangular parallelepiped shape, resulting in insufficient moldability (Patent Document 5).

[0010] An object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive composition that is excellent in adhesion, chemical resistance (electrolyte resistance), and moldability without problems such as limited pot life and production conditions, and to provide a battery packaging material that includes an adhesive layer made of the adhesive composition, and a battery that uses the packaging material. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have intensively studied and found that it is effective to provide a layer that can sufficiently follow the elongation during molding not only on the outer layer side but also on the inner layer side of the aluminum foil, and have come to propose the following invention.

[0012] An adhesive composition comprising an acid-modified polyolefin (A), a multifunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B), and an organic solvent (C), wherein the acid-modified polyolefin (A) has an acid value of 2 to 50 mg KOH / g-resin and an acetone extractable component ratio of 0.01 to 2 mass%.

[0013] It is preferable that the composition contains 0.5 to 40 parts by mass of a polyfunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B) and 80 to 2,000 parts by mass of an organic solvent (C) relative to 100 parts by mass of the acid-modified polyolefin (A). Furthermore, it is preferable that the organic solvent (C) is a mixed liquid of solvent (C1) and solvent (C2), in which solvent (C1) is one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons, and halogenated hydrocarbons, solvent (C2) is one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of alcohol-based solvents, ketone-based solvents, ester-based solvents, and glycol ether-based solvents, and the solvent (C1) / solvent (C2) ratio is 50 to 97 / 50 to 3 (mass ratio).

[0014] The adhesive composition is preferably used for bonding a polyolefin resin substrate to a metal substrate.

[0015] A laminate of a polyolefin resin substrate and a metal substrate bonded with the adhesive composition, and a packaging material for lithium ion batteries comprising the laminate as a constituent member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The adhesive composition of the present invention contains an acid-modified polyolefin, a multifunctional polyisocyanate curing agent, and an organic solvent, and can maintain a good pot life without thickening or gelling even when stored for a long period of time. Furthermore, even when the adhesive composition is bonded at a low temperature of 120°C or less, where the thermal shrinkage of the polyolefin substrate is minimal, and when the adhesive composition is aged at a low temperature of 40°C or less, it is possible to achieve good adhesion between the polyolefin resin substrate and the metal substrate, chemical resistance, and moldability.

[0017] According to the present invention, the adhesive layer can be sufficiently cured by the aging step after lamination while maintaining a good pot life, and can exhibit excellent adhesion and chemical resistance. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain an adhesive layer that satisfies the storage modulus and breaking elongation required to exhibit excellent formability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0019] <Acid-modified polyolefin (A)> The acid-modified polyolefin (A) used in the present invention is an acid-modified polyolefin having an acid value of 2 to 50 mg KOH / g-resin and an acetone extractable component ratio of 0.01 to 2 mass %.

[0020] The acid-modified polyolefin (A) used in the present invention is not limited, but is preferably one obtained by grafting at least one of polyethylene, polypropylene, and propylene-α-olefin copolymer with at least one of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and its acid anhydride.

[0021] Propylene-α-olefin copolymers are copolymers of propylene as the main component with an α-olefin. As the α-olefin, for example, one or more of ethylene, 1-butene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, vinyl acetate, etc. can be used. Among these α-olefins, ethylene and 1-butene are preferred. The ratio of the propylene component to the α-olefin component in the propylene-α-olefin copolymer is not limited, but the propylene component is preferably 50 mol% or more, and more preferably 70 mol% or more.

[0022] Examples of at least one of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids and their acid anhydrides include maleic acid, itaconic acid, citraconic acid, and their acid anhydrides. Among these, acid anhydrides are preferred, and maleic anhydride is more preferred. Specific examples include maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene, maleic anhydride-modified propylene-ethylene copolymer, maleic anhydride-modified propylene-butene copolymer, and maleic anhydride-modified propylene-ethylene-butene copolymer, and these acid-modified polyolefins can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0023] The acid value of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) must be in the range of 2 to 50 mgKOH / g-resin from the viewpoints of adhesion between the polyolefin resin substrate and the metal substrate and electrolyte resistance. It is preferably in the range of 3 to 45 mgKOH / g-resin, more preferably 5 to 40 mgKOH / g-resin, and particularly preferably 7 to 35 mgKOH / g-resin. If the acid value is less than the above range, compatibility with the curing agent may be poor. As a result, the crosslink density may be low, and the adhesive strength and chemical resistance (electrolyte resistance) may be reduced. If the acid value is greater than the above range, the molecular weight may be low and the cohesive force may be weak, which may reduce the adhesive strength and chemical resistance (electrolyte resistance). Furthermore, production efficiency may also be reduced, which is undesirable.

[0024] The acid value of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) can be adjusted by the amounts of the α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid, the acid anhydride of the α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid, and the radical generator used.

[0025] The acetone extractable component ratio of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) must be in the range of 0.01% to 2% by mass from the viewpoints of adhesion between the polyolefin resin substrate and the metal substrate and electrolyte resistance. It is preferably 0.03% to 1.7% by mass, more preferably 0.05% to 1.4% by mass, even more preferably 0.07% to 1.2% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.1% to 1% by mass. A ratio below this value is undesirable because it reduces production efficiency. A ratio above this value may weaken the cohesive strength, resulting in poor adhesion, chemical resistance, and moldability.

[0026] The storage modulus (E') of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) at 25°C is From the viewpoint of adhesive strength between the resin substrate and the metal substrate and chemical resistance (electrolyte resistance), the pressure is preferably in the range of 10 to 2000 MPa, more preferably 15 to 1700 MPa, even more preferably 20 to 1400 MPa, particularly preferably 25 to 1100 MPa, and most preferably 30 to 800 MPa. If the pressure is less than the above range, the adhesive comprising the adhesive composition will not be able to adhere. This may lead to insufficient cohesive strength of the adhesive layer, resulting in poor adhesion and chemical resistance (electrolyte resistance). If the value exceeds the above range, the conformability of the adhesive layer made of the adhesive composition may decrease, resulting in poor adhesion. Furthermore, if the value is within the above range, the adhesiveness and conformability to the substrate are improved, which also improves the formability of the laminate, making it more preferable as a packaging material for lithium-ion batteries.

[0027] The tensile elongation at break (Eb) of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) at 25°C is 50% to 100%. It is preferably in the range of 0%. It is more preferably 80% to 900%, even more preferably 120% to 800%, particularly preferably 160% to 700%, and most preferably 200% to 600%. If it is less than the above value, the conformability of the adhesive layer made of the adhesive composition will decrease, which may lead to pinholes during molding and poor moldability. In addition, the tensile breaking elongation (Eb) and the storage modulus (E') are generally contradictory properties, and if they exceed the above value, If the temperature is too high, the storage modulus (E') may decrease, resulting in poor adhesion and electrolyte resistance. Within the above range, the adhesiveness and substrate conformability are improved, and the formability of the laminate is also improved, making it more preferable as a packaging material for lithium ion batteries.

[0028] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) is preferably in the range of 10,000 to 200,000. It is more preferably in the range of 20,000 to 180,000, even more preferably in the range of 30,000 to 160,000, particularly preferably in the range of 40,000 to 140,000, and most preferably in the range of 50,000 to 110,000. If it is less than the above value, the cohesive strength may be weak, resulting in poor adhesiveness. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above value, the fluidity may be low, resulting in problems with operability during adhesion. A molecular weight within the above range is preferred because it makes the most of the curing reaction with the curing agent.

[0029] The crystallinity of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) can be determined by measuring the crystallinity by heating the polyolefin from -100°C to 250°C at a rate of 20°C / min using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Refers to what is shown.

[0030] By making the acid-modified polyolefin crystalline, it is advantageous to have stronger cohesive strength and superior adhesiveness and chemical resistance compared to amorphous polyolefins.

[0031] The melting point (Tm) of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) is preferably in the range of 50°C to 120°C, more preferably in the range of 60°C to 100°C, and most preferably in the range of 70°C to 90°C. If it is less than the above value, the cohesive force derived from the crystals will be weak, and the adhesiveness and chemical resistance may be poor. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above value, the solution stability and fluidity will be poor, and adhesion may be difficult. This may cause problems with the operation of the device.

[0032] The heat of fusion (ΔH) of the acid-modified polyolefin (A) is preferably in the range of 1 J / g to 60 J / g, more preferably in the range of 3 J / g to 50 J / g, and most preferably in the range of 5 J / g to 40 J / g. If it is less than the above value, the cohesive force derived from the crystals will be weak, and the adhesiveness and chemical resistance may be poor. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above value, the solution stability and fluidity will be low, and problems may arise in the operability during adhesion.

[0033] The method for producing the acid-modified polyolefin (A) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a radical graft reaction (i.e., a reaction in which radical species are generated in a polymer that becomes the main chain, and an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an acid anhydride are graft polymerized using the radical species as a polymerization initiation point).

[0034] The radical generator is not particularly limited, but is preferably an organic peroxide.The organic peroxide is not particularly limited, but includes peroxides such as di-tert-butyl peroxyphthalate, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, dicumyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate, tert-butyl peroxypivalate, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, etc.; azonitriles such as azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisopropionitrile, etc.

[0035] <Multifunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B)> The polyfunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B) used in the present invention has two or more isocyanates in one molecule. There are no particular limitations on the polyisocyanate as long as it has a cyanate group, and well-known diisocyanates and compounds derived therefrom can be preferably used. Examples of diisocyanates include 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, bis(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl)methane, and hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate. Further examples include compounds derived from the above diisocyanates, i.e., isocyanurates, adducts, biurets, uretdiones, and allophanates of the above diisocyanates, prepolymers having isocyanate residues (low polymers obtained from diisocyanates and polyols), and complexes thereof. These may be used alone or in any combination of two or more.

[0036] Furthermore, a compound obtained by reacting some of the isocyanate groups of the above isocyanate compounds with a compound reactive with the isocyanate groups may be used as a polyfunctional isocyanate curing agent. Examples of compounds reactive with an isocyanate group include compounds containing an amino group, such as butylamine, hexylamine, octylamine, 2-ethylhexylamine, dibutylamine, ethylenediamine, benzylamine, and aniline; compounds containing a hydroxyl group, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, hexanol, octanol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, and phenol; compounds containing an epoxy group, such as allyl glycidyl ether, 2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether, phenyl glycidyl ether, neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether, 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether, and cyclohexanedimethanol diglycidyl ether; and compounds containing a carboxylic acid, such as acetic acid, butanoic acid, hexanoic acid, octanoic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, and phthalic acid.

[0037] As the polyfunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B) used in the present invention, those having an isocyanurate of the above diisocyanate are preferred because they have excellent electrolyte resistance.

[0038] The amount of the polyfunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B) used in the present invention is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 40 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the acid-modified polyolefin (A), more preferably Preferably, it is 1 to 35 parts by mass, more preferably 2 to 30 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 3 to 25 parts by mass. If it is less than the above value, a sufficient curing effect may not be obtained, and adhesion and chemical resistance may be low. If it exceeds the above range, pot life and adhesion may decrease, and pinholes may occur during molding due to reduced conformability. Furthermore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of cost.

[0039] <Organic solvent (C)> The organic solvent (C) used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can dissolve the acid-modified polyolefin (A) and the polyfunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B). Specific examples include aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, octane, and decane; alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cyclohexene, methylcyclohexane, and ethylcyclohexane; halogenated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, chlorobenzene, and chloroform; alcoholic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, propanediol, and phenol; and ketones such as acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, pentanone, hexanone, cyclohexanone, isophorone, and acetophenone.

[0040] The organic solvent (C) is preferably in the range of 80 to 2000 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the acid-modified polyolefin (A), more preferably 90 to 1600 parts by mass, even more preferably 100 to 1200 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 110 to 800 parts by mass. If the amount is less than this range, the solution state and pot life may be reduced, while if the amount is more than this range, the productivity, production costs, and transportation costs of the laminate and the LiB packaging material containing the laminate may be reduced. This may be disadvantageous in terms of cost.

[0041] From the viewpoint of the solution state and pot life of the adhesive composition, the organic solvent (C) is preferably a mixture of one or more solvents (C1) selected from the group consisting of aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons, and halogenated hydrocarbons, and one or more solvents (C2) selected from the group consisting of alcohol solvents, ketone solvents, ester solvents, and glycol ether solvents. The mixing ratio of solvent (C1) / solvent (C2) is preferably in the range of 50-97 / 50-3 (mass ratio), more preferably 55-95 / 45-5 (mass ratio), even more preferably 60-90 / 40-10 (mass ratio), and particularly preferably 70-80 / 30-20 (mass ratio). Outside this range, the solution state and pot life of the adhesive composition may be deteriorated. Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that solvent (C1) is an aromatic hydrocarbon or alicyclic hydrocarbon, and solvent (C2) is a ketone solvent.

[0042] <Adhesive composition> The adhesive composition of the present invention is a mixture of the acid-modified polyolefin (A), a polyfunctional polyisocyanate curing agent (B), and an organic solvent (C), and the acid-modified polyolefin (A) and the curing agent (B) may be dissolved or dispersed in the organic solvent (C).

[0047] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention is obtained by laminating a polyolefin resin substrate and a metal substrate with the adhesive composition of the present invention.

[0048] As a lamination method, a conventionally known laminate manufacturing technique can be used. For example, although not particularly limited, the adhesive composition is applied to the surface of a metal substrate using a suitable application means such as a roll coater or a bar coater, and then dried. After drying, while the layer of the adhesive composition (adhesive layer) formed on the surface of the metal substrate is in a molten state, a polyolefin resin substrate can be laminated (laminated) to the applied surface to obtain a laminate. The thickness of the adhesive layer formed from the adhesive composition is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 to 10 μm, more preferably 0.8 to 9.5 μm, and even more preferably 1 to 9 μm.

Among these, the use of a non-oriented polypropylene film (hereinafter also referred to as CPP) is preferred. Its thickness is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 to 100 μm, more preferably 25 to 95 μm, and even more preferably 30 to 90 μm. The polyolefin resin substrate may be blended with pigments or various additives, or may be surface-treated, as necessary.

[0050] <Metal base material> The metal substrate is not particularly limited, and various metals and alloys thereof, such as aluminum, copper, steel, chromium, zinc, duralumin, and die-cast metals, can be used. The substrate can take any shape, such as metal foil, rolled steel plate, panel, pipe, can, or cap. Generally, aluminum foil is preferred from the viewpoint of workability. Although the thickness varies depending on the intended use, it is generally used in the form of a sheet having a thickness of 0.01 to 10 mm, preferably 0.02 to 5 mm. The surfaces of these metal substrates may be either previously surface-treated or left untreated, with the same effects being achieved in either case.
