Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional composite materials, specifically to a composite material of silicone-acrylate adhesive, cotton, and membrane materials. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demands for performance in flexible adhesive materials from fields such as electronics manufacturing, automotive interiors, medical devices, and precision assembly, double-sided heterogeneous adhesive tapes, as key materials for achieving differentiated functions of "high-temperature resistant and peelable A-side + room-temperature durable adhesion B-side," demonstrate irreplaceable technical value in applications such as silicone protection for chip packaging, temporary fixation of thermal components, and layered application of medical dressings. The core performance requirements for these materials include: A-side must possess a high peel strength of 6N / 25mm or higher against silicone rubber or silicone foam to achieve reliable peeling without residue; B-side must maintain adhesion to metal substrates or engineering plastics for more than 24 hours to withstand long-term loads; simultaneously, the intermediate isolation barrier layer must be ultra-thin (5-10µm), with high barrier and anti-migration capabilities to prevent cross-contamination of the A / B side adhesives leading to performance degradation; and the overall material must maintain dimensional flatness and stability under multiple heat treatment conditions of 100-180℃. Meeting and developing these performance requirements is of great significance for improving the reliability of electronic products, expanding the application scope of automotive lightweighting, and promoting the safety of medical devices.
[0003] However, existing technologies have many shortcomings in meeting the aforementioned comprehensive performance requirements. Traditional double-sided adhesive systems mostly use solvent-based isolation layers, which have problems such as high energy consumption for coating and drying, and the risk of VOC emissions and cross-migration of adhesive layers due to residual solvents; some technologies use thick isolation layers (>15µm), which can improve barrier properties, but lead to excessive total thickness and reduced flexibility; silicone layers mostly use addition-type systems, which have low curing temperatures but poor penetration into cotton substrates, resulting in insufficient peel strength, while condensation-type systems have strong adhesion, but high-temperature curing (>150℃) can easily cause cotton to shrink and deform; acrylic ester adhesive layers using only UV curing are fast, but insufficient cohesion leads to reduced tack, while single thermosetting has strong cohesion but long curing time and is prone to yellowing; if the composite carrier layer uses only cotton, its temperature resistance is limited, and if only polyimide film is used, the cost is high and the air permeability is poor. For example, Chinese patent CN214032323U discloses an ultra-thin PET double-sided adhesive tape, but it suffers from insufficient barrier performance and excessive VOC emissions due to the use of solvent-based coating for the release layer. Similarly, Chinese patent CN109337029B discloses a high-wear-resistant TPU / silicone composite material and its preparation method, but it suffers from low peel strength to the cellulose substrate and poor high-temperature dimensional stability due to the use of an addition-type silicone layer. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel double-sided heterogeneous adhesive composite material that combines an ultra-thin solvent-free release layer, high-solids-content condensation-type silicone, UV-thermal dual-curing acrylate adhesive, and a cotton-polyimide composite carrier to simultaneously meet the comprehensive performance requirements of high peel strength, high tack, high barrier properties, and high dimensional stability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite material of silicone-acrylate adhesive, cotton, and film materials, which solves the problem that double-sided heterogeneous adhesive systems cannot simultaneously achieve coating window, ultra-thin isolation with high barrier properties, heterogeneous bonding, and dimensional stability.
[0005] This invention employs a synergistic design of "condensation-type silica network + solvent-free ultra-thin isolation + silanized acrylate UV-thermal dual curing": hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and trimethylsiloxysilicate form a silica network, while 3-ureapropyltrimethoxysilane enhances cellulose wetting, achieving A-side peel strength ≥6N / 25mm; the silane-containing side-chain acrylate undergoes UV and thermal dual curing, synergistically with hydrogenated rosin pentaerythritol ester to achieve B-side adhesion ≥24h. This demonstrates the synergistic effect of multiple components.

[0031] Furthermore, the composite carrier layer includes a cotton layer and a membrane layer, wherein the cotton layer is located on the side facing the silicone layer on side A, and the membrane layer is located on the side facing the acrylic adhesive layer on side B; The silicone layer on side A has direct adhesion to silicone rubber or silicone foam, and the 180° peel strength of the silicone layer on side A is not less than 6 N / 25 mm as determined by GB / T 2792-2014; and, at 23°C, the tack performance of the acrylic adhesive layer on side B to metal substrates or engineering plastic substrates is not less than 24 h as determined by GB / T 4851-2014.
[0032] As a concept of the present invention, the present invention uses hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (40-70 parts) and trimethylsiloxysilicate (25-55 parts) to form a three-dimensional network by siloxane condensation under the catalysis of dibutyltin dilaurate (0.01-0.60 parts). 3-Ureapropyltrimethoxysilane (1-8 parts) provides urea hydrogen bonds and silanol groups to achieve multi-point anchoring of cellulose hydroxyl groups. Tetraethoxysilane (1-12 parts) provides additional crosslinking points to improve network density and heat resistance. The flexible segments of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane impart low surface energy and high elasticity, while the rigid MQ structure of trimethylsiloxysilicate enhances cohesive strength. 3-Ureapropyltrimethoxysilane, under controlled hydrolysis conditions (pH 4-6, 20-40℃), forms silanol groups through prepolymerization (60-110℃) and co-condensation, with urea hydrogen bonds enhancing cellulose wetting. Tetraethoxysilane hydrolyzes and rapidly condenses during the condensation reaction, providing additional crosslinking points, increasing network density while maintaining a viscosity within the 10-80 Pa·s coating window. Intermediate IA, with a solid content of 40-70 wt%, has a viscosity of 10-80 Pa·s, ensuring that the coating composition, with a solid content of 25-65 wt%, meets coating requirements. After curing, the dry film thickness of the silicone layer on side A is 15-30 µm, achieving penetration adhesion to the silicone rubber through the siloxane condensation network and urea hydrogen bonds, resulting in a 180° peel strength ≥6 N / 25 mm. The above design achieves a balance between high solids content and low viscosity coating window, high peel strength and high heat resistance, reflecting the synergy of condensed silicon-oxygen network + urea hydrogen bond anchoring + rigid-flexible network.
[0033] This invention also discloses a method for preparing a composite material of silicone-acrylate adhesive, cotton, and membrane materials, comprising the following steps: S1. Provide intermediate IA and a silicone coating composition for side A.

[0039] Furthermore, in S3, the cotton layer and the polyimide film are laminated together to form a composite carrier layer.
[0040] Furthermore, the isolation barrier layer formed in S3 is a solvent-free curing film-forming isolation barrier layer, and the curing in S4 is carried out in a nitrogen environment or an air environment.
[0041] Furthermore, the isolation barrier layer is formed by solvent-free coating of the isolation barrier layer coating composition and subsequent curing.

[0043] Furthermore, the thickness of the isolation barrier layer is 5 to 10 µm, which is controlled by the conversion between coating amount and solid content, and the conversion relationship between coating amount and solid content is given.
[0044] Furthermore, the pH of the mixed system described in A2 is the pH of the aqueous phase in the system, and the sampling method and pH measurement method are given, as well as the control method of achieving a pH of 4 to 6 by adjusting the amount of acetic acid added.

[0057] Furthermore, the test standards for the 180° peel strength and holding power specify the version year of the corresponding standard, and specify the test caliber for the bonded material, bonding pressure, dwell time, peel speed or loading conditions.
[0058] As another concept of the present invention, the present invention uses intermediate IB (an acrylate copolymer containing silane side groups, 55-90 parts) as the main body of the B-side adhesive layer. 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (45-75 parts) provides low Tg flexibility, n-butyl acrylate (15-45 parts) balances flexibility and cohesiveness, acrylic acid (1-10 parts) provides carboxyl groups to enhance metal bonding, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (1-15 parts) provides hydroxyl groups to participate in crosslinking, and 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (0.5-5 parts) introduces silane side groups to form siloxane crosslinks during heat treatment to improve heat resistance and cohesive strength. The B-side coating composition incorporates hydrogenated rosin pentaerythritol ester (10-35 parts) to enhance adhesion and holding power. 1-Hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone (0.05-1.00 parts) initiates rapid photocrosslinking of 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (1-12 parts) with hydroxyl groups for rapid setting. Benzoyl peroxide (0.05-0.80 parts) initiates deep thermal crosslinking of residual double bonds and activates the hydrolytic condensation of silane side groups during the heat treatment stage (60-160℃, 0.5-10 min), achieving synergistic curing of rapid UV setting and deep thermal crosslinking. The B-side adhesive layer has a dry film thickness of 25-35µm. Through carboxyl and hydroxyl groups bonding to metals, rosin tackification, and the high cohesive strength of the UV-thermal dual-curing network, it achieves holding power for metals or engineering plastics at 23℃ for ≥24h. The above design achieves a balance between rapid UV setting and stepwise thermal cross-linking curing, high cohesion and high tack, demonstrating the synergistic effect of silanized acrylate + rosin tackification + UV-thermal dual curing.
[0059] This invention addresses the synergistic effect of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and trimethylsiloxysilicate in the silicone layer on side A. PDMS, as a flexible chain segment, primarily contributes low surface energy, high elasticity, and compatibility with the silicone rubber substrate's silicone segments. Trimethylsiloxysilicate, as a rigid MQ structure, primarily contributes cohesive strength, creep resistance, and dimensional stability. Regarding improved peel strength, PDMS forms molecular segment interdiffusion and entanglement with the silicone rubber substrate's silicone segments through its long-chain silicone segments, absorbing energy during peeling through segment extension. Trimethylsiloxysilicate, through its rigid MQ cage structure, forms physical crosslinking points within the flexible chains, enhancing network cohesive strength and preventing cohesive damage to the adhesive layer during peeling. In terms of improving heat resistance and dimensional stability, the high bond energy of the siloxane bonds in hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane provides basic heat resistance, but it is prone to segmental creep at high temperatures. The three-dimensional cage structure of trimethylsiloxysilicate restricts segmental movement at high temperatures. In the MQ structure, the end-capped siloxane chains of the M units prevent depolymerization at high temperatures, and the tetrafunctional crosslinking points of the Q units provide a rigid framework. In terms of synergistic effects, the flexible segments and the rigid MQ structure form a crosslinking network that combines rigidity and flexibility in the siloxane condensation reaction. The flexible segments provide flexibility and elasticity to ensure compatibility and penetration adhesion to silicone rubber, while the rigid MQ structure provides rigidity and cohesive force to prevent cohesive damage to the adhesive layer during peeling. The two work together to achieve a peel strength ≥6N / 25mm and a cohesive damage rate <5%, while the shrinkage rate is <0.5% at 100-180℃, demonstrating that the synergistic effect of rigidity and flexibility is superior to using either alone.
[0060] Beneficial technical effects 1. Achieving high barrier and anti-migration performance of ultrathin solvent-free isolation layers: By adopting solvent-free curing film-forming technology, the thickness of the isolation barrier layer is precisely controlled within 5 to 10 µm, avoiding the VOC emission problem caused by solvent residue during the coating and drying process of traditional solvent-based isolation layers (reducing VOC emissions by >95%) and the risk of cross-contamination of adhesive layers caused by the penetration and migration of solvent molecules between the A / B side adhesive layers (migration rate <1%). At the same time, the ultrathin design significantly reduces the total thickness of the composite material while ensuring barrier performance (total thickness can be controlled within 65-155 µm), improving the applicability of the material in thickness-sensitive applications such as chip packaging and precision electronic devices, and achieving synergistic optimization of environmental protection, barrier performance and thinness.
[0061] 2. Achieving a synergistic balance between high solids content, low viscosity coating window, and high peel strength: A flexible hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (40-70 parts by weight) and a rigid MQ structure of trimethylsiloxysilicate (25-55 parts by weight) are formed under controlled condensation conditions catalyzed by dibutyltin dilaurate (0.01-0.60 parts by weight) (pH 4-6, controlled hydrolysis 20-40℃, condensation prepolymerization 60-110℃, condensation reaction 0.5-4h) to create a flexible-rigid siloxane condensation network. This, combined with the urea-based hydrogen bonds provided by 3-ureapropyltrimethoxysilane (1-8 parts by weight) for multi-point anchoring of cellulose hydroxyl groups and the additional siloxane crosslinking points provided by tetraethoxysilane (1-12 parts by weight), achieves a viscosity of 10-80 Pa·s for intermediate IA at a solids content of 40-70 wt% and a viscosity that remains stable after 7 days of storage. With a wide coating window of less than 30%, the coating composition with a viscosity of 5-60 Pa·s at an application solids content of 25-65 wt% can meet the requirements of industrial coating such as scraping and roller coating. After curing, the dry film thickness of the silicone layer on the A side is 15-30 µm, and the 180° peel strength against silicone rubber or silicone foam reaches 6-9.5 N / 25 mm, which is significantly higher than that of traditional addition-cure silicone systems (peel strength is usually <5 N / 25 mm and requires a solids content of <40 wt%, resulting in multiple coating passes).
[0062] 3. Achieving rapid surface setting and deep crosslinking synergistically in a UV-thermal dual-curing system for surface B: Using acrylate copolymer intermediate IB (55-90 parts by weight) containing 0.5-5 parts by weight of 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane side groups as the main resin, UV curing initiated by 0.05-1.00 parts by weight of 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone achieves rapid surface setting (gel fraction >60%) in 3-8 seconds. Then, thermosetting (60-160℃, 0.5-10 min) initiated by benzoyl peroxide (0.05-0.80 parts by weight) achieves the removal of residual double bonds. Deep crosslinking (final gel fraction >90%) and activation of silane side group hydrolysis and condensation to form siloxane crosslinking, synergistically with hydrogenated rosin pentaerythritol ester (10-35 parts by mass) through the π-π stacking of rosin rings and acrylate segments and the tackifying effect provided by van der Waals forces, enable the B-side acrylate adhesive layer to achieve a tack performance of 24-72h on metal or engineering plastic substrates at 23℃ with a dry film thickness of 25-35µm. This is significantly better than a single UV curing system (tack holding <12h, insufficient cohesive strength leading to creep peeling) or a single thermosetting system (curing time >30min, low production efficiency and easy yellowing).
[0063] 4. Achieving synergistic flexibility and temperature resistance in the cotton-polyimide composite carrier layer: The cotton layer (mainly cellulose, 20-80µm thick) provides breathability, flexibility, cost advantage (approximately 1 / 5 the cost of polyimide), and hydroxyl-responsive sites for urea hydrogen bonds in the silicone layer. Optionally, a polyimide film layer (typically 20-50µm thick) provides high-temperature dimensional stability (coefficient of thermal expansion <2×10⁻). 5 The composite carrier layer's shrinkage rate is controlled within 0.5% under multiple thermal history conditions (A-side silicone curing 100-180℃, B-side acrylate heat treatment 60-160℃) and heat resistance (glass transition temperature >280℃). This avoids the wrinkles and dimensional deviations caused by shrinkage rate >2% during high-temperature curing when using only cotton, and the problem of poor air permeability (air permeability <50cc / m²·24h) causing small molecule byproducts (water, ethanol) released during the curing of silicone on the A-side to form bubbles when using only polyimide film, which is difficult to expel. This achieves a triple balance of flexibility, cost controllability, and high-temperature dimensional stability.
[0064] 5. Achieving directional design and multi-scenario adaptation for heterogeneous double-sided adhesive performance: The silicone layer on side A uses a condensation-type silica-oxygen network + urea hydrogen bond anchoring to achieve high peel strength (≥6N / 25mm) for low surface energy materials such as silicone rubber or silicone foam, with no adhesive residue on the substrate after peeling. The acrylate adhesive layer on side B uses silanized acrylate + rosin tackifier + UV-thermal dual curing to achieve high holding power (≥24h) for high surface energy materials such as metal substrates or engineering plastic substrates, and excellent creep resistance under long-term load (creep <0.5mm). This overcomes the limitations of traditional double-sided adhesives that use homogeneous adhesive systems and cannot meet the different bonding requirements of low and high surface energy substrates.

In the experiment, the silicone layer A of the composite material is bonded to a silicone rubber sample, rolled with a 2kg roller, and after resting for 24 hours, a 180° peel test is performed on a universal testing machine at a speed of 300mm / min. The average peel force of the stable section is recorded. Key parameters are: test temperature 23±2℃, relative humidity 50±5%RH, sample width 25mm, peel speed 300±10mm / min. Data processing: the average value is taken for each group of samples after 3 tests. Peel strength = average peel force / sample width, in N / 25mm.
[0228] Adhesion Holding Performance Test of Acrylic Adhesive Layer on Side B: The test object is the creep resistance and adhesion ability of the acrylic adhesive layer on side B of the composite material of this invention to metal or engineering plastic substrates. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the shear slip resistance time of the acrylic adhesive layer on side B under constant load. The test principle is to determine the time when the sample experiences shear failure under standard temperature and load. In the experiment, the acrylic adhesive layer on side B is bonded to a stainless steel plate or polycarbonate plate with an area of 25mm × 25mm. A 2kg roller is used for pressing, and after resting for 20 minutes, a 1000g weight is suspended at 23℃, and the time when displacement or detachment occurs is recorded. Key parameters are: test temperature 23±2℃, relative humidity 50±5%RH, bonding area 25mm × 25mm, and load 1000g. Data processing involves testing each group of samples three times and taking the average value. The adhesion time is expressed in hours (h).
[0229] Coating Composition Viscosity and Application Suitability Test: The test subjects were a silicone coating composition (side A) and an acrylic adhesive coating composition (side B). The purpose of the test was to evaluate the rheological properties and coating processing window of the coating composition under high solids content conditions. The test principle was to measure the apparent viscosity at different shear rates using a rotational viscometer and assess the application suitability. The experimental method involved testing the coating composition at 25°C using a rotational viscometer with rotor No. 3 selected. The viscosity change curve was measured from 10 rpm to 100 rpm, and the viscosity stability within the application solids content range was recorded. Key parameters were: test temperature 25 ± 0.5°C, rotor type and speed, and application solids content range. Data processing was performed using viscosity units of Pa·s, and viscosity-shear rate curves were plotted to calculate the viscosity range corresponding to the suitable coating window.
[0230] Anti-migration performance test of the isolation barrier layer: The test object is the solvent-free cured film-forming isolation barrier layer of the composite material of this invention. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the ability of the isolation barrier layer to prevent the migration of low molecular weight siloxanes and catalysts from the silicone layer on side A to the acrylate adhesive layer on side B. The test principle is to characterize the barrier effect by the changes in the adhesion performance and chemical composition of the acrylate adhesive layer on side B before and after aging. The experimental method is to age the composite material at 80℃ for 168h, and test the tack performance of the acrylate adhesive layer on side B and the silicon content on the XPS surface before and after aging, and compare it with Comparative Example 8 without an isolation barrier layer. The key parameters are aging temperature 80±2℃, aging time 168h, and XPS test depth 0-10nm surface layer. Data processing is as follows: tack performance retention rate = (after aging / before aging) × 100%, and the increase in the percentage of silicon atoms reflects the degree of migration.
[0231] Dimensional stability and flatness testing of composite materials: The test object is the dimensional change and warpage of the composite material of this invention under multiple thermal history conditions. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the dimensional flatness stability of the composite material after high-temperature curing of silicone and UV-heat treatment of acrylate. The test principle is to measure the change rate of length and width of the sample and the surface flatness before and after preparation. The experimental method is to cut a 300mm×300mm composite carrier layer sample, mark the baseline, and after the complete S3 to S5 process flow, measure the length and width changes and evaluate the warpage height. Flatness is measured using a micrometer or laser displacement sensor. Key parameters are: test temperature 23±2℃, sample size 300mm×300mm, measurement accuracy ±0.01mm, and thermal history conditions including silicone curing at 120-180℃ and acrylate heat treatment at 60-160℃. Data processing is as follows: dimensional change rate = absolute change / original size × 100%, warpage = maximum warpage height / sample diagonal length × 100%.
[0232] XPS Surface Chemical State Analysis: The test object was the surface chemical composition and elemental chemical state of the silicone layer on side A and the acrylate adhesive layer on side B of the composite material of this invention. The purpose of the test was to verify the interfacial reaction of the silane coupling agent and the formation mechanism of the silicon-oxygen condensation network. The test principle was to use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to analyze the elemental composition and chemical state binding energy within a depth of 0-10 nm on the surface. The experimental method used an XPS instrument with an Al Kα ray source and an analysis chamber vacuum degree better than 5 × 10⁻⁻⁻⁴. 7 Pa was used to scan the Si 2p, O 1s, and C 1s peaks of the silica gel layer on side A, and the C 1s, O 1s, and Si 2p peaks of the acrylate adhesive layer on side B. Gaussian-Lorentzian mixing functions were used to fit the peaks and distinguish different chemical states. Key parameters included an Al Kα X-ray source of 1486.6 eV, a scanning range of 0-1200 eV for both full-spectrum and high-resolution narrow-scan, an energy step of 0.1 eV, and a pass energy of 50 eV. Data processing involved deriving the peak positions and atomic percentages of each element, plotting high-resolution spectra, and analyzing the network structure formation through the binding energies of characteristic peaks such as Si-O-Si, Si-C, and CO.
[0233] Figure 1 The XPS surface chemical state analysis of the silica gel layer on side A in Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 shows the high-resolution peak fitting diagrams of Si 2p. The basic parameters are: Al Kα radiation source 1486.6 eV, analysis depth 0–10 nm, energy step 0.1 eV, pass energy 50 eV, and Gaussian-Lorentzian mixing function peak fitting. The variable parameter is the amount of 3-ureapropyltrimethoxysilane used: 4.5 parts in Example 1 and 0.8 parts in Comparative Example 3. The results show that the Si-O-Si component peak at 103.5 eV has a higher proportion in Example 1, and the Si-C component peak at 101.8 eV is more obvious, while the Si-OH component peak at 102.5 eV is relatively lower. The conclusion is that sufficient ureapropylsilane promotes the cross-linking of the silicon-oxygen condensation network and increases the Si-C bond formation rate at the interface, which proves that the interfacial bridging and silicon-oxygen network formation mechanism is reasonable from the perspective of surface chemical state.
[0234] Figure 2 The high-resolution peak fitting diagrams of O 1s on the surface of the A-side silica gel layer in Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 are shown. The basic parameters are the same: Al Kα radiation source 1486.6 eV, analysis depth 0–10 nm, energy step size 0.1 eV, pass energy 50 eV, and peak fitting is performed. The variable parameter is the difference in the amount of 3-ureapropyltrimethoxysilane used: 4.5 parts in Example 1 and 0.8 parts in Comparative Example 3. The results show that the O 1s main peak component related to the silicon-oxygen network is more dominant in Example 1, while the component related to hydroxyl groups is relatively weakened. The conclusion is that Example 1 has a higher degree of silicon-oxygen condensation and less residual silanol, which further supports the rationality of silane coupling agent participating in condensation and improving network density.
[0235] Figure 3 The high-resolution C 1s spectrum peak fitting diagrams for the surface chemical state analysis of the A-side silicone layer XPS in Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 are shown. The basic parameters are: Al Kα radiation source 1486.6 eV, analysis depth 0–10 nm, energy step size 0.1 eV, pass energy 50 eV, and Gaussian-Lorentzian mixture function fitting. The variable parameters are: 3-ureapropyltrimethoxysilane content: 4.5 parts in Example 1 and 0.8 parts in Comparative Example 3. The results show that the peak intensity and area fraction of components related to oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups are more prominent in Example 1 and relatively weaker in Comparative Example 3. The conclusion is that sufficient urea-related structures are more fully retained and participate in interfacial interactions, which is consistent with the Si-C and Si-O-Si enhancement shown in Si 2p, thus proving that the interfacial bridging enhancement effect has a chemical basis.
[0236] Figure 4 The FTIR characteristic functional group and interaction analysis spectra of the A-side silicone layer in Examples 1, 3, and 4 are shown. The basic parameters are the wavenumber range of 4000–650 cm⁻¹, with a focus on the Si-O-Si stretching vibration region of 1020–1100 cm⁻¹, the urea C=O stretching vibration of 1650–1680 cm⁻¹, and the urea C=O stretching vibration of 1550–1580 cm⁻¹. The NH bending vibration of cm⁻¹ was measured, with the variable parameters being the amount of 3-ureapropyltrimethoxysilane used in Comparative Example 3 (0.8 parts, lower than 4.5 parts in Example 1) and the amount of tetraethoxysilane used in Comparative Example 4 (0.4 parts, lower than 6.5 parts in Example 1). The results showed that Example 1 exhibited stronger absorption in the Si-O-Si characteristic region and clearer urea-related peaks, accompanied by peak position changes caused by hydrogen bonding. In contrast, Comparative Examples 3 and 4 showed characteristics of insufficient interfacial interaction and insufficient network crosslinking, respectively. The conclusion is that the silane coupling agent and tetraethoxysilane are the key contributors to the interfacial bridging and condensation crosslinking density, respectively, proving that the synergistic design is valid at the functional group level.
[0237] Figure 5 To analyze the thermal curing kinetics of the barrier layer coating composition and the acrylate adhesive layer coating composition on the B side, the curing exothermic peaks were obtained using DSC. The basic parameters were a scan rate of 10℃ / min and a temperature range of 25–250℃. The positions and areas of the curing exothermic peaks were recorded to characterize the reaction process. The variable parameters were the system type: the barrier layer was a UV-curing rapid film-forming system, while the acrylate adhesive layer on the B side was a UV-thermal dual-curing system. The results showed that the exothermic peak shapes and temperatures of the two were different, with the B side system showing a more significant contribution to thermal curing, while the barrier layer was more inclined to rapid network formation. The conclusion is that the rapid film formation and densification of the barrier layer and the deep cross-linking curing of the adhesive layer on the B side are kinetically distinguishable and do not conflict with each other, proving that the mechanism of solvent-free rapid network formation to form a dense barrier layer is reasonable.
[0238] Figure 6 The XRD patterns of the composite carrier layers in Example 1 and Comparative Example 6 are shown for phase and orientation analysis. The basic parameters are Cu Kα radiation, scanning range 5–60°, step size 0.02°, and scanning rate 2° / min. The characteristic diffraction peaks of cellulose type I at 2θ=15.5° and 22.5° and the amorphous background of polyimide are analyzed. The variable parameter is the curing temperature of the silicone layer on the A side, which is 140°C in Example 1 and 95°C in Comparative Example 6, resulting in differences in thermal history response. The results show that the characteristic peak positions and relative intensities of cellulose in Example 1 are more stable, while Comparative Example 6 is more prone to peak intensity changes and background morphology differences. The conclusion is that appropriate curing temperature and thermal history management help maintain the stability of the microcrystalline phase structure of the cotton and polyimide composite carrier layer, which is corroborated by the macroscopic dimensional stability results, proving that the carrier layer structural stability control scheme is reasonable and effective.
[0239] Figure 7 Macroscopic photographs of the silicone-acrylate / cotton-PI composite material prepared for Example 1 show the typical appearance of the sample in the state of double-sided release film coating. The sample as a whole exhibits a milky white to light amber translucent state, which is caused by the light scattering effect of the internal cotton fiber network and the intrinsic color of the polyimide film. The surface exhibits high gloss due to the PET release film coating. Slight curling is observed at the edges of the sample in the photographs, reflecting the differences in internal stress generated by the different materials in the multilayer fabrication process. At the same time, small random defects are visible on the surface, reflecting the characteristics of a real fabricated sample.
[0240] Figure 8 This is a low-magnification SEM image of the silicone layer on side A of the composite material prepared in Example 1. This image, at low magnification, characterizes the macroscopic film-forming effect of the microgravure coating process, showing that the silicone layer forms a continuous and complete coverage on the carrier surface, with no exposed fibers or broken coating areas. The surface exhibits characteristic weak coating flow marks and no obvious macroscopic defects or pores, proving that the coating process parameters were set reasonably, achieving good coating uniformity and appearance quality.
[0241] Figure 9 This is a bright-field transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of the silicone layer on side A of the composite material in Example 1. The image shows the internal microstructure of the silicone layer on side A based on mass-thickness contrast. The baseline parameter is a polymer matrix background with weak contrast, and the variable parameters are the spatial dispersion morphology and aggregate size of the SiO2 nanofiller. The image clearly shows SiO2 existing as nanoscale primary particles and submicron-sized aggregates formed by sintering, uniformly distributed within the field of view, with no significant aggregates larger than 1 micrometer observed. The conclusion demonstrates that this preparation process successfully achieved good dispersion of the nanofiller in the silicone soft matrix, providing a microstructural basis for the uniformity of material properties.
[0242] Table 1. Performance comparison data between the examples and comparative examples.
[0243] As can be seen from the performance of the embodiments and comparative examples in Table 1, all embodiments are significantly better than most comparative examples in terms of peel strength of the silicone layer on side A and tack performance of the acrylic adhesive layer on side B, which proves the synergistic effect of the technical solution of the present invention. In Comparative Example 1, the amount of terminal hydroxyl polydimethylsiloxane used was below the lower limit, resulting in insufficient crosslinking density of the siloxane condensation network, and a decrease in both peel strength and holding power. In Comparative Example 2, the amount of this component was above the upper limit, resulting in excessively high system viscosity, which affected the coating uniformity. In Comparative Example 3, the amount of silane coupling agent 3-ureapropyltrimethoxysilane was insufficient, resulting in weakened interfacial bonding. In Comparative Example 4, the amount of crosslinking agent tetraethoxysilane was too low, resulting in insufficient network crosslinking. In Comparative Example 5, the thickness of the isolation barrier layer was below the lower limit, resulting in a significant decrease in barrier migration ability to 78%. In Comparative Example 6, the curing temperature of surface A was too low, resulting in incomplete siloxane condensation reaction, and a significant decrease in peel strength and holding power. In Comparative Example 7, the imbalance of the monomer ratio of intermediate IB resulted in insufficient cohesive strength of the acrylate adhesive layer, and the holding power was only 18h. In Comparative Example 8, the absence of the isolation barrier layer caused low molecular weight siloxane to migrate to surface B, resulting in a barrier rate of only 45% and a significant decrease in holding power to 12h. Example 3 achieved the highest peel strength of 9.5 N / 25 mm and holding power of 42 h by optimizing the ratio of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane to silane coupling agent, increasing the silica filler content, and extending the reaction time. However, the coating viscosity was correspondingly increased to 48 Pa·s, making it suitable for applications with extremely high requirements for bonding reliability. Example 2 achieved rapid curing and low viscosity of 20 Pa·s by increasing the catalyst dosage and curing temperature, making it suitable for high-speed continuous coating processes. Examples 1 and 4 used moderate parameter configurations and achieved a good balance between peel strength, holding power, coating viscosity, and dimensional stability.
