Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optical materials technology, specifically involving a high-refractive-index silicone OCR optical adhesive and its UV-low temperature heat-humidity three-stage synergistic curing process. Background Technology
[0002] As automotive display technology evolves towards larger screens, curved surfaces, and higher resolutions, the performance requirements for optical adhesives in components such as central control screens and head-up displays (HUDs) are becoming increasingly stringent. Silicone liquid OCR, due to its excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, weather resistance, and optical stability, has become the preferred material for automotive display bonding.
[0003] However, existing silicone OCR technology faces significant technical bottlenecks: traditional silicone resins have a refractive index between 1.48 and 1.52, which is insufficiently compatible with the refractive index of automotive glass (refractive index 1.52) and HUD optical lenses, leading to reflection and refraction losses during light transmission and affecting display clarity. Regarding curing methods, pure thermal curing requires temperatures above 100°C, which can easily cause polarizer aging and substrate deformation. Pure UV curing, on the other hand, creates curing dead zones in the frame shadow area, resulting in insufficient adhesive adhesion and easy delamination after long-term use. Introducing high-phenyl groups or nanoparticles to increase the refractive index often leads to poor compatibility and increased light scattering, resulting in decreased light transmittance (below 98%), reduced crosslinking activity, and slower curing speed. Furthermore, nanoparticles are prone to agglomeration during long-term storage, causing adhesive failure. Organotin catalysts have potential biotoxicity, and the high cost of raw materials and the need for production line modifications limit industrialization.
[0004] The automotive environment must withstand extreme temperature cycling from -40℃ to 85℃. Existing solutions often lack long-term stability data for this scenario, making it difficult to meet the wide-temperature requirements of automotive electronics. A method for preparing a high-refractive-index nanocomposite silicone encapsulating material (publication number: CN109161020B) employs an in-situ nanoparticle generation process to directly generate ZrO2 / TiO2 nanoparticles. This solves the problems of particle agglomeration and poor compatibility encountered when first synthesizing nanoparticles and then doping them into an organic substrate. It also improves the refractive index of the silicone resin material, making it suitable for high-refractive-index optical composite films, LED encapsulating materials, optical sensors, and other fields. While this patent solves the problems of "nanoparticle agglomeration + high refractive index," it has two major drawbacks: curing relies on temperatures above 100℃ (which can easily lead to aging of automotive polarizers); and it lacks a UV / wet curing design (which cannot solve the curing dead zones in the shadow areas of curved edges).
[0005] Therefore, developing a silicone OCR with a refractive index between 1.5 and 1.6, a light transmittance of >98%, the ability to cure rapidly at low temperatures and without dead angles, and the ability to maintain long-term stability, be environmentally friendly, have low cost and be compatible with production lines has become an urgent need in the automotive display field.

[0026] Table 1
[0027] The performance of the materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples was tested according to the following methods: Refractive index test: Measured using an Abbe refractometer at a wavelength of 589 nm.

[0031] Yellowing index under damp heat aging: A 50mm×50mm×0.5mm sample was cut and aged at 85℃ and 85%RH for 1000h. After cooling for 2h, the YI value was measured. Among them, X, Y, and Z are the tristimulus values measured by spectrophotometer. The value was calculated according to YI=100×(1.28X-1.06Z) / Y, and the average value of YI was used as the result.
[0032] High and low temperature cycling test: a reliability test simulating the extreme environment of an vehicle, with the conditions being "-40℃ (2h) → room temperature (1h) → 85℃ (2h) as 1 cycle, for a total of 50 cycles", used to evaluate the performance stability of the adhesive layer under drastic temperature fluctuations.
[0033] Example 1 (1) Preparation of vinyl-polyphenyl silicone resin (component A) Add 0.7 mol vinyltrimethoxysilane, 0.3 mol phenethyltriethoxysilane, 1.3 mol diphenylsilanediol and 150 mL anhydrous ethanol to a 500 mL three-necked flask equipped with a condenser and a stirrer, and stir until homogeneous; Add 0.05 mol hydrochloric acid (concentration 0.1 mol / L) as a catalyst, heat to 70℃, and react at a constant temperature for 8 hours; After the reaction was completed, 0.05 mol sodium hydroxide solution (concentration 0.1 mol / L) was added to neutralize to pH=7, and the temperature was raised to 80℃ and the solvent and low-boiling substances were removed by vacuum distillation to obtain vinyl high-phenyl silicone resin with a phenyl mass fraction of 50%.
[0034] Figure 1 This is an image of component A in Example 1 of the present invention.
[0035] (2) Preparation of epoxy-based phenyl silicone resin (component B) Add 1 mol KH560, 1 mol diphenylsilanediol and 120 mL toluene to a 500 mL three-necked flask and stir to dissolve; Add 0.03 mol of D296R strong base anion exchange resin as a catalyst, heat to 85℃, and react at a constant temperature for 9 hours; The catalyst was removed by filtration, and toluene and impurities were removed by vacuum distillation at 100°C to obtain epoxy phenyl silicone resin with a phenyl mass fraction of 45%, a refractive index of 1.54, and a viscosity of 800 mPa·s (25°C).
[0036] (3) Preparation of high phenyl bifunctional hydrogen-containing silicone resin (crosslinking agent) Add 0.5 mol phenyltrichlorosilane, 0.3 mol dimethyldichlorosilane, 0.2 mol methyldichlorosilane and 100 mL toluene to a 500 mL three-necked flask, stir and cool to 0 °C; Slowly add 150 mL of deionized water over a time of 1 hour, keeping the temperature ≤5℃. After the addition is complete, raise the temperature to 25℃ and react for 3 hours. After standing and separating into layers, the organic phase was washed with deionized water until neutral, 5g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate was added and dried for 4 hours. After filtration, the temperature was raised to 110℃ and the toluene was removed by vacuum distillation to obtain a high-phenyl hydrogen-containing silicone resin with a Si-H content of 0.20%, a phenyl mass fraction of 55%, and a refractive index of 1.58.
[0037] (4) Surface modification of ZrO2 nanoparticles Take 10g of ZrO2 nanoparticles (15nm) and dry them in a vacuum drying oven at 100℃ for 2h to completely remove the moisture and trace organic impurities adsorbed on the particle surface. This is to avoid moisture interfering with the subsequent hydrolysis reaction of the silane coupling agent and impurities affecting the bonding force of the modified layer. After cooling to room temperature, add 200mL of anhydrous ethanol as a dispersion medium. The low surface tension can reduce the van der Waals forces between particles and can also dissolve KH570 and BYK-333, achieving uniform contact between the modifier and the particles.
[0038] A three-necked flask containing the suspension was fixed in an ultrasonic cleaner. The ultrasonic power was set to 300W and the ultrasonic time to 30min. During the ultrasonic process, the temperature of the suspension was controlled at 25±3℃ using an ice bath (to avoid the evaporation of ethanol due to ultrasonic heat generation and to prevent the particles from re-aggregating due to high temperature). After the ultrasonic process, the state of the suspension was observed. It should reach the state of "uniform milky white, no obvious sedimentation, and no stratification after standing for 30min". At this time, the ZrO2 nanoparticles have been dispersed into monodisperse or oligomer states, providing sufficient reaction sites for subsequent modification reactions.
[0039] 2g of γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH570) was slowly added dropwise to the above suspension, and mechanical stirring was started (500 r / min). Stirring was continued for 15 min to ensure KH570 was uniformly dissolved and dispersed in the system. Then, 0.04g of polyether-modified siloxane (BYK-333) was weighed, diluted with 10mL of anhydrous ethanol, and slowly added to the system. Stirring was continued for 10 min to achieve uniform mixing of the two modifiers. The three-necked flask was placed in a constant temperature water bath and heated to 60℃, and the reaction was stirred for 4 h. Centrifugation (8000 r / min, 15 min), washing three times with anhydrous ethanol, and vacuum drying at 80 °C for 6 h yielded surface-modified ZrO2 nanoparticles (long-lasting anti-agglomeration, with no significant agglomeration after 6 months of storage at room temperature).
[0040] (5) Preparation of OCR adhesive Component A and component B are mixed at a mass ratio of 65:35 and stirred until homogeneous to obtain a composite resin matrix. The phenyl content after mixing is 48%. Add 3% (based on matrix mass) of modified ZrO2 nanoparticles to the composite resin matrix, first ultrasonically disperse (300W, 15min), then stir at high speed (3000r / min, 15min) until homogeneous; Add 10% (based on matrix mass) of high-phenyl hydrogen-containing silicone resin crosslinking agent and stir until homogeneous; Add 3000 ppm platinum catalyst (based on matrix mass), 1.0% onium salt photocatalyst (based on matrix mass), and 0.4% organotin catalyst (based on matrix mass), and use phenyl vinyl silicone oil as the dispersion medium (the amount is 5 times the total mass of the catalyst) and ultrasonically disperse for 5 min; (6) Three-stage curing process UV surface drying: Using a 365nm UV lamp with a light intensity of 1000mW / cm², the adhesive surface is rapidly cured in 11 seconds without sticking, and existing UV-cured tunnels can be reused. Low-temperature thermosetting: Place the sample in a 70℃ oven and cure at a constant temperature for 23 minutes until the adhesive is completely cured. Existing constant temperature ovens can be reused. Moisture curing completion: Place the cured sample in an environment of 25℃ and 60%RH for 19 hours to complete the moisture curing of the shaded area.

[0050] Table 2 Relevant Performance Tables of Examples
[0051] As shown in Table 2, Example 1 is the best example.
[0052] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that: phenethyltriethoxysilane in step (1) is replaced with vinyltrimethoxysilane, and the amount of diphenylsilanediol is reduced from 1.3 mol to 0.9 mol; the amount of organotin catalyst in step (5) is 0.6%, and the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0054] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is as follows: 0.7 mol vinyltrimethoxysilane + 0.3 mol phenethyltriethoxysilane + 1.3 mol diphenylsilanediol in step (1) is replaced with 0.9 mol vinyltrimethoxysilane + 0.1 mol phenethyltriethoxysilane + 0.7 mol diphenylsilanediol + 0.6 mol ethylene glycol; "1 mol KH560 + 1 mol diphenylsilanediol" in step (2) is replaced with "1 mol KH560 + 0.4 mol diphenylsilanediol + 0.6 mol ethylene glycol"; the surface modification scheme of ZrO2 nanoparticles in step (4) is changed from "KH570 and polyether-modified siloxane (BYK-333) compound modification" to "single KH570 modification", specifically: only 2 g KH570 is added, 0.04 g BYK-333 is not added, and the amount of other raw materials is completely the same as in Example 1.

[0057] Comparative Example 6 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that: phenethyltriethoxysilane in step (1) is replaced with vinyltrimethoxysilane; the “wet curing completion” stage in step (6) is removed, and only the “UV surface drying + low temperature thermal curing” dual-stage process is used, breaking the three-stage synergistic design. The remaining raw materials, proportions and steps (1)-(5) are completely consistent with Example 1.
[0058] Table 3 Comparative Relevance Performance Table
[0059] The results are shown in Table 3. When the amount of organotin catalyst is higher than the preferred range (0.3~0.5%), although it does not affect the refractive index (because the refractive index is determined by the phenyl content and ZrO2), it causes significant negative effects: excessive catalyst leads to an excessively fast crosslinking reaction rate, stress concentration inside the adhesive layer, increased light scattering, decreased transmittance, and increased haze; excessive catalyst residue causes side reactions, the yellowing index of resistance to damp heat aging rises to 1.55 (far exceeding 0.65 in Example 1), and the transmittance decreases by 2.2% after 6 months of storage at room temperature; uneven crosslinking leads to a decrease in the interfacial bonding force between the adhesive layer and the substrate, the peel strength drops to 1.1 N / mm, and the peel strength further decreases to 0.75 N / mm after high and low temperature cycling, which cannot meet the long-term reliability requirements of automotive scenarios; the overall performance is inferior to that of Example 1, proving that the amount of organotin catalyst must be strictly controlled within the preferred range of 0.3~0.5%.
[0060] When the phenyl content of the composite resin matrix drops to 43%, the refractive index is only 1.50, which is lower than the refractive index requirement of automotive HUD optical components; the insufficient proportion of component A leads to a reduction in the active sites of crosslinking reaction, resulting in a significant decrease in curing efficiency; insufficient crosslinking density makes the adhesive layer structure loose, and the peel strength drops to 1.3 N / mm. After high and low temperature cycling, the peel strength further decreases to 1.0 N / mm, which is prone to delamination during long-term use; the loose structure makes it easy for moisture to penetrate, and the yellowing index of resistance to humid heat aging rises to 0.95. After high and low temperature cycling, the light transmittance decreases by 1.1%, which cannot meet the stability requirements of extreme automotive environments. Therefore, the mass ratio of components A / B needs to be controlled within the range of 62-68:32-38.
[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention.
