Abstract

This invention discloses a high-viscosity infrared absorbing layer, a removable infrared absorbing protective film, and their preparation method. The invention polymerizes an infrared absorber with active groups such as carbon-carbon double bonds onto the main chain structure of acrylate via in-situ polymerization, improving the dispersibility and binding of the infrared absorber in the high-viscosity polyacrylate adhesive. This increases the infrared absorption capacity while reducing the risk of infrared absorber leaching and extending its service life. The infrared absorbing protective film consists of a substrate layer 1, a high-viscosity infrared absorbing layer, a substrate layer 2, a low-viscosity adhesive layer, and a release layer, stacked sequentially. By creating an infrared absorbing interlayer structure, the high-viscosity infrared absorbing layer is isolated from the infrared camera, effectively avoiding the problem of infrared absorber leaching and contaminating the camera due to direct addition of the infrared absorber to the adhesive layer. Simultaneously, the low-viscosity adhesive layer allows for easy removal after use, leaving no residual adhesive or ghosting on the lens surface.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials, specifically to a high-viscosity infrared absorbing layer, a removable infrared absorbing protective film, and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, facial recognition has rapidly emerged as a core technology in biometric identification, widely used not only for identity verification in electronic products but also playing an increasingly important role in public safety, financial payments, and intelligent transportation. However, technological advancements always bring new challenges. In early facial recognition systems, visible light cameras frequently suffered from false recognition due to their high sensitivity to ambient light, especially in low-light or backlight conditions. Near-infrared technology, as a solution, not only achieves accurate recognition in low-light or even no-light environments but also provides a valuable supplement to traditional visible light cameras, particularly in complex environments. However, this technology brings new manufacturing and quality control challenges. To ensure the high performance of infrared cameras, they require rigorous testing and debugging during the manufacturing stage, during which the influence of near-infrared light must be shielded. Against this backdrop, process protection film technology has emerged. An ideal process protection film not only needs high-efficiency infrared shielding performance but also suitable transparency in the visible light range to ensure that manufacturing personnel can observe the appearance of the infrared camera. More importantly, this process protection film needs to be easily peeled off after use without leaving any residue to ensure the camera's clarity and longevity. In addition, the precipitation of infrared absorbers from the protective film during manufacturing is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Once infrared absorbers precipitate, they may contaminate the lens, thereby affecting image quality or causing potential damage to the camera.

[0003] Currently available process protective films often only focus on infrared shielding or physical protection, lacking effective solutions for adhesive residue and infrared absorber leaching contamination after removal. Therefore, designing and developing a removable, residue-free, and non-contaminating multifunctional infrared absorbing protective film has become an urgent industry need. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-viscosity infrared absorbing layer comprises an infrared absorber chemically modified acrylate polymer, a tackifying resin, and a curing agent. The infrared absorber chemically modified acrylate polymer is obtained by free radical copolymerization of an infrared absorber modified with an acrylamide-containing silane coupling agent and an acrylate monomer.

[0018] S1. Weigh out the infrared absorber and ethanol according to the formula, mix them, and then ultrasonically stir for 20-40 minutes to obtain mixture 1. Add mixture 1 and the formula amount of silane coupling agent containing acrylamide groups to a reaction flask equipped with a stirrer, adjust the pH of the system to weakly acidic, let it stand for 20-40 minutes, then heat it to 45-55℃, react it with stirring for 2-3 hours, cool it to room temperature and centrifuge it, wash it with ethanol 2-3 times, and then dry it at 50-60℃ to obtain the surface-modified infrared absorber.

[0019] S2. Weigh the surface-modified infrared absorber, soft monomer, hard monomer, functional monomer, and solvent prepared in step S1 according to the formula, and mix them evenly to obtain a mixed precursor solution. Under nitrogen protection, add half of the formula mass of the mixed precursor solution to the reactor, heat to 60-70℃, add 1 / 3 of the formula mass of the initiator, and keep the temperature for 2 hours after initiating the reaction. Add the remaining 1 / 2 of the mixed precursor solution dropwise. After the dropwise addition is complete, add another 1 / 3 of the formula mass of the initiator, raise the temperature to 85℃ and keep it for 2 hours. Add the remaining 1 / 3 of the initiator, keep it for 1 hour, cool and discharge to obtain the infrared absorber chemically modified polyacrylate compound.

[0020] S3. Mix the formulated amount of infrared absorber chemically modified polyacrylate compound, tackifying resin and curing agent evenly and apply according to the predetermined thickness requirement to obtain a high-viscosity infrared absorption layer.

[0021] The present invention also discloses a removable infrared absorption protective film, which is composed of a substrate layer 1, a high-viscosity infrared absorption layer, a substrate layer 2, a low-viscosity adhesive layer and a release layer stacked sequentially, wherein the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer is the aforementioned high-viscosity infrared absorption layer, and the thickness of the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer is 6-15μm.

[0029] S1. Preparation of the infrared absorption interlayer:

[0030] Weigh out the chemically modified polyacrylate compound, tackifying resin and curing agent according to the formula, stir evenly, and apply to one side of the substrate layer 1 according to the thickness requirements. After heating and curing at 100-120℃, a high-viscosity infrared absorption layer is obtained. The side of the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer without the substrate is attached to the substrate layer 2 to obtain an infrared absorption interlayer.

[0031] S2. Preparation of a removable infrared absorption protective film:

[0032] Weigh the low-tack acrylic adhesive and curing agent according to the formula, mix and stir them, and then apply them evenly to the substrate layer 2 of the infrared absorption interlayer according to the thickness requirements. Heat and cure at 100-120℃ to obtain a low-tack adhesive layer. Then, attach a release film to the side of the low-tack adhesive layer that does not have the substrate layer 2 to obtain a release layer, and finally obtain a removable infrared absorption protective film.

[0033] The present invention also discloses the application of a removable infrared absorbing protective film in the manufacturing process of infrared cameras.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0035] (1) The present invention uses a silane coupling agent containing acrylamide groups to chemically modify the infrared absorber, so that the surface of the infrared absorber is modified with active groups such as carbon-carbon double bonds and amino groups. Then, the infrared absorber with active groups such as carbon-carbon double bonds is polymerized into the main chain structure of acrylate by in-situ polymerization to obtain the infrared absorber chemically modified acrylate polymer. This greatly improves the dispersibility and binding of the infrared absorber in high-viscosity polyacrylate adhesives, increases its infrared absorption capacity while reducing the risk of infrared absorber precipitation, and thus extends the service life of the infrared absorption protective film.

[0036] (2) By setting up an infrared absorption interlayer structure, the present invention isolates the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer from the infrared camera, effectively avoiding the problem of infrared absorber being directly added to the adhesive layer and causing the infrared absorber to precipitate and contaminate the camera; at the same time, the adhesive layer uses a low-viscosity acrylic adhesive, so that the protective film can be easily removed after the camera manufacturing process and infrared light wave test, and there is no residual glue ghosting on the lens surface.

[0087] experiment

[0088] 1. Adhesive layer thickness: ① Before use, clean the two contact surfaces of the thickness gauge and calibrate the zero position. Repeat the zeroing process 3 times before testing; ② When using, press the hand with your thumb and slowly raise the upper probe. Place the sample between the planes of the upper and lower measuring heads of the thickness gauge, with the adhesive side facing up. Slowly lower the upper probe and record the thickness gauge reading within 1 second after lowering the upper probe; ③ Measure three points for each sample and take the arithmetic mean of the three readings as the thickness value.

[0089] 2. Infrared and visible light transmittance: The ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer was used for testing. The specific steps are as follows: ① Turn on the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and preheat it; ② Select the spectral mode and perform blank baseline calibration; ③ Cut a 25mm×25mm sample to be tested, attach it parallel to a clean glass slide, place it on the sample cell holder, and close the sample chamber; ④ Measure the transmittance in the wavelength range of 400nm-980nm.

[0090] 3. 180° Peel Force: ① Inspect the test plate for cleanliness and absence of scratches or marks; ② Dampen a small square of lint-free cloth with an appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol and wipe the surface of the test plate from top to bottom. Once clean, wipe again with a clean lint-free cloth until the surface is clean, then let it stand for 5 minutes; ③ Cut a sample to be tested into pieces 25±1mm wide and 300±20mm long, and attach them parallel to the steel plate (lightly press the sample with a small rubber roller to ensure it adheres to the test plate, and avoid air bubbles); ④ Use... ⑤ Roll the electric pressure roller back and forth on the test piece once at a speed of 300 mm / min under its own weight, and let it rest for 20 minutes; ⑥ Peel the adhesive surface off the test plate along the free end of the test piece, and clamp the free end of the test piece and the test plate tightly on the upper and lower clamps respectively, and make sure that the peeling surface is aligned with the force line of the peeling test machine; ⑦ Peel the tape on the tensile testing machine at a speed of 300 mm / min, and take the average value of the stroke 50 mm-150 mm; ⑦ Repeat the above experiment and take the average value of 3 tests, which is the final value. (Note: The peeling force at room temperature is tested directly after resting for 20 minutes; the peeling force of the 65℃ / 90%RH bonding aging test needs to be placed in a 65℃ / 90%RH oven for 72 hours after step ④, and then placed for 24 hours before testing.)

[0091] 5. Stain Resistance (Reworkability): ① After removing 3 to 4 turns from the sample plate or sample roll, cut a test piece with a width of 25±1mm and a length of 300±20mm, and attach it parallel to the steel plate (lightly press the test piece with a small rubber roller to make it adhere to the test plate, and no air bubbles are allowed); ② Use an electric pressure roller to roll back and forth on the test piece once at a speed of 300mm / min under its own weight. After placing it at 80℃ for 24 hours, visually observe the contamination status of the surface of the object after removing the infrared absorption protective film.

[0092]

[0093] As can be seen from the data in the table above, the infrared absorption protective films obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8 are compared. The test results show that the infrared absorption protective films obtained in Examples 1-3 have sufficient adhesion to prevent them from falling off, whether under normal temperature or humid conditions. They can achieve the protective effect while meeting the harsh transportation conditions of high temperature and high humidity. They also have excellent infrared light shielding effect and visible light transmittance. In addition, the protective film can be easily removed after use, and there is no residue or ghosting on the surface of the object.

[0094] Compared with Example 1, the types of silane coupling agents used in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are not within the scope defined in this application. The coupling effect between the infrared absorber and the acrylate polymer in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is poor, resulting in a decrease in the visible light shielding effect and visible light transmittance of the final infrared absorption protective film, which cannot meet the infrared shielding requirements in the process.

[0095] Compared with Example 1, the dry film thickness of the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer in Comparative Example 3 is 16 μm, which is higher than 12 μm in Example 1. The increased thickness of the infrared absorption layer significantly improves the infrared shielding capability of the infrared absorption protective film, but its visible light transmittance is greatly reduced, which cannot meet the visible light transmittance requirements.

[0096] Compared with Example 1, the dry film thickness of the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer in Comparative Example 4 is 3 μm, which is lower than 12 μm in Example 1. Although the reduced thickness of the infrared absorption layer increases the visible light transmittance of the infrared absorption protective film, its infrared shielding ability is greatly reduced and it cannot effectively shield infrared light.

[0097] Compared with Example 1, the amount of surface-modified infrared absorber added to the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer in Comparative Example 5 was 35 parts. The increase of infrared absorber and silane coupling agent greatly improved the infrared shielding ability, but it reduced the viscosity of the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer and could not effectively bond the substrate. This would lead to displacement and detachment of the infrared absorption layer under harsh transportation conditions of high temperature and high humidity.

[0098] Compared with Example 1, the amount of surface-modified infrared absorber added to the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer in Comparative Example 6 was 4 parts. The reduction in the amount of infrared absorber and silane coupling agent significantly reduced the infrared shielding capability of the infrared absorption protective film.

[0099] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 7, the silane-modified infrared absorber was directly added to the low-tack adhesive layer. Compared with Example 1, there was no sandwich structure. This resulted in a significant reduction in the peel force of the low-tack adhesive layer on the surface of the object being bonded, which could not meet the bonding protection requirements. At the same time, the infrared absorber precipitated out after the infrared absorption protective film was removed, which contaminated the surface of the object being bonded.

[0100] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 8, the high-viscosity infrared absorption layer was directly bonded to the surface of the object. The high viscosity made it difficult to peel off the object, and after peeling, a large amount of residual adhesive remained on the surface of the object, affecting its appearance.

[0101] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are exhaustively listed. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0102] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
