Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photocurable products, and more specifically, to a siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, its preparation method, a photocurable composition, and a photocurable product. Background Technology
[0002] Acrylate-modified organosiloxanes have been widely used as the main resins in release film coating compositions, such as the combination of side-chain and terminal (meth)acrylate-modified organopolysiloxanes disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 6268404. However, particularly on smooth film substrates, the compositions therein are insufficient in terms of adhesion and have poor release properties.
[0003] The literature "Synthesis and Photocurability Study of (Meth)acrylic Monomers Containing Organosilicon" by Wang Siyuan and Zou Yingquan, Proceedings of the 13th China Radiation Curing Conference, 2012, pp. 211-218, reports the preparation of several silicone-containing acrylates. Dichlorodimethylsilane, dichlorodimethylsiloxane, or dichlorotetramethylbisilane are used as substrates with hydroxyethyl acrylate or hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and triethylamine is used as an acid-binding agent. However, experimental studies have found that these organosiloxanes modified with ethoxy-containing acrylates are very unstable and are prone to ethoxy hydrolysis during manufacturing, purification, or packaging and storage, i.e., the methylsilyl group is removed, causing them to deteriorate.
[0004] Similarly, Chinese patent application CN108299493 discloses the reaction of methyltrichlorosilane or silicon tetrachloride with hydroxyethyl acrylate. The resulting triethoxymethylsilane or tetraethoxysilane is also not resistant to hydrolysis. The product will hydrolyze during the purification process, thus limiting the development and application of photocurable silicone resin compositions. Summary of the Invention

[0035] As analyzed in the background art, existing siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compounds have problems such as poor water resistance and a poor balance between the adhesion of the photocurable composition to the substrate and the surface peelability. In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, its preparation method, a photocurable composition, and a photocurable product.

[0039] The siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound provided in this application contains one or more (meth)acrylate functional groups in its structure. Since (meth)acrylate functional groups are free radical polymers, the reaction rate is fast, resulting in better separation ability between the photocurable composition containing it and the substrate surface, thus improving the surface peelability of the photocurable composition. Simultaneously, the siloxane group effectively improves the compatibility of the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound with the photocurable silicone resin in the molecular structure, thereby improving the formulation stability of the photocurable composition and effectively improving its adhesion and surface peelability to the substrate. Furthermore, the presence of at least one methyl substituent on the methylene group directly linked to the Si-O bond in the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, due to its steric hindrance effect, helps improve the water resistance of the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, thus aiding in its preparation and storage.

To further improve the compatibility of siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compounds with curing resins, the aforementioned (meth)acrylate compounds are preferably selected from one or more of the following compounds:

Simultaneously, the siloxane group effectively improves the compatibility between the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound and the photocurable silicone resin in the molecular structure, thereby improving the formulation stability of the photocurable composition and effectively improving the balance between its adhesion to the substrate and surface peelability. Furthermore, the at least one methyl substituent on the methylene group directly linked to the Si-O bond in the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, due to its steric hindrance effect, helps improve the water resistance of the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, thus aiding in its preparation and storage.

[0099] The cured resin is as follows:
[0100] B-1, Guangzhou Lingying Ink Co., Ltd. silicone resin YP 3157; B-2, Guangzhou Boxin New Material Technology Co., Ltd. silicone resin T-2706; B-3, IGM Resin Company Photomer 3316; polydimethylsiloxane (trimethylsiloxane-terminated, MW2000, Alfa Easar product).
[0101] The following are siloxane-containing monomers:

[0112] The hydrolysis resistance of the above-mentioned siloxane monomers was tested as follows: 2g of monomer samples A-2, A-5, and A'-1 were added to 8g of acetone containing 5wt% water, and stirred at 40℃ for 1h, 5h, 9h, and 24h, respectively. The hydrolysis rate (i.e., the proportion of hydroxypropyl acrylate or hydroxyethyl acrylate produced) was analyzed, and the test results are listed in Table 1.
[0113] Table 1
[0114] time A-1 A-2 A-3 A-4 A-5 A’-1 1h 0.9% 0.8% 0.7% 0.8% 1% 10% 5h 1.6% 1.5% 1.2% 1.3% 2% 20% 9h 1.9% 1.8% 1.4% 1.5% 2.5% 30% 24h 2.0% 1.9% 1.7% 1.8% 2.6% 60%
[0115] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compounds of this application have good hydrolysis resistance.
[0116] The compatibility test of the above-mentioned siloxane monomers with the cured resin was conducted at 25°C. 5-50% was considered partial solvent, less than 5% was considered insoluble, and more than 50% was considered miscible. The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0117] Table 2
[0118] polydimethylsiloxane B-1 B-2 B-3 HDDA <5% <5% <5% >50% EO3TMPTA <5% <5% <5% >50% A-1 18% >50% 10% >50% A-2 15% 45% 6% >50% A-3 <5% 15% <5% >50% A-4 5% 20% <5% >50% A-5 <5% 6% <5% >50%
[0119] This indicates that general monomers without silicon have too low solubility in silicone resins to be compatible with other materials, while the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compounds of this application have good solubility in silicone resins, thus allowing for better compatibility with other initiators, curing resins, and additives.
[0120] Solubility of photoinitiator in dimethylsiloxane:
[0121] To simulate the dissolution in silicone-containing resin, Omnirad 1173, Omnirad 184, Omnirad 2959, and C-0, C-1, C-2, C-3, and C-4 were gradually added to 10g (accurate to 0.001g) of polydimethylsiloxane (trimethylsiloxane-terminated, MW2000, manufactured by ALFA) and incubated in a constant temperature water bath at 20°C until saturation. The dissolution was observed and is shown in Table 3.
[0122] Table 3
[0123]
[0124] As shown in Table 3, the solubility of photoinitiators after trimethylsilylation in silicone oil is greatly improved, and the solubility has undergone a qualitative change.
[0125] Stability test of photocurable composition:
[0126] The monomer and B-1 resin were mixed at 40℃, and then the initiator was added. The mixture was ultrasonically dissolved for 30 minutes. Except for formulation D-5, which had crystals that were not completely dissolved, the other formulations were uniform and transparent. The mixture was stored in a 5℃ refrigerator for 2 weeks in the dark to observe whether it was uniform and transparent and whether there was any layering or turbidity. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0127] Table 4
[0128]
[0129]
[0130] The formulations containing C-1, C-2, and C-3 respectively are the technical solutions provided by this invention and have good stability.
[0131] Curing experiments of the photocurable compositions of formulations D-2, D-4, and D-6:
[0132] The photocurable compositions of formulations D-2, D-4, and D-6 were coated onto clean polypropylene films at a thickness of 5 μm and 10 μm, respectively. The residual oxygen content was controlled to be less than 50 ppm by nitrogen flow, the conveyor belt speed was 200 m / min, and the films were cured by high-pressure mercury lamp with an output power of 100 W / cm. The degree of surface dryness was tested by the touch dry test, and the adhesion was tested by the cross-cut test. The test results are listed in Table 5.

[0138] Adhesion test experiments of photocurable compositions with formulations D-7 to D-13:
[0139] The photocurable compositions D-7 to D-13 from Table 6 were coated onto clean polypropylene films to a thickness of 10 μm. Residual oxygen levels were controlled to be less than 50 ppm using nitrogen flow, and the conveyor belt speed was 200 m / min. Curing was performed using a high-pressure mercury lamp with an output power of 100 W / cm. Adhesion was tested using the cross-cut adhesion test. The adhesion test results for the photocurable compositions D-7 to D-13 are listed in Table 7. Compositions with good adhesion were further tested for peelability. Composition D-13 had poor adhesion and was not further tested for peelability.
[0140] Peelability test of photocurable compositions with formulations D-7 to D-12:
[0141] Apply the photocurable compositions D-7 to D-12 from Table 6 onto a PET sheet (200mm*100mm*0.3mm) using a 25μm wire rod. Cure once under a high-pressure mercury lamp at a belt speed of 6m / min. Take 3M tape (210mm long, 60mm wide) and stick it along the longest side of the PET sheet to the side with the cured film, ensuring the tape is completely adhered to the sheet. Brush the tape repeatedly 5 times with a soft brush to ensure complete contact between the tape and the cured film. Hold one end of the tape and peel it off from the cured film at a 45-degree angle within 1 second. If the cured film on the PET sheet is intact, the peelability is good (marked as easy to peel). If the cured film on the PET sheet is damaged, the peelability is poor (marked as difficult to peel).
[0142] The adhesion and peelability test results of the photocurable compositions of formulations D-7 to D-12 are listed in Table 7.
[0143] Table 7
[0144]
[0145] Results: Compared with formulations D-12 and D-13, it can be seen that the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound of this application is more conducive to the balance between substrate adhesion and surface peelability.
[0146] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0147] The siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound provided in this application contains one or more (meth)acrylate functional groups in its structure. Since (meth)acrylate functional groups are free radical polymers, the reaction rate is fast, resulting in better separation ability between the photocurable composition containing it and the substrate surface, thus improving the surface peelability of the photocurable composition. Simultaneously, the siloxane group effectively improves the compatibility of the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound with the photocurable silicone resin in the molecular structure, thereby improving the formulation stability of the photocurable composition and effectively improving its adhesion and surface peelability to the substrate. Furthermore, the presence of at least one methyl substituent on the methylene group directly linked to the Si-O bond in the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, due to its steric hindrance effect, helps improve the water resistance of the siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compound, thus aiding in its preparation and storage. Siloxane-containing (meth)acrylate compounds containing only a single silicon atom are more conducive to balancing substrate adhesion and surface peelability.
[0148] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
