Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a reactive adhesive, which is suitable for use as an insulator for motors. [Background technology]
[0002] Motor generators that selectively function as electric motors and generators are installed in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, compressors, etc. The motor generators generate heat when the vehicle is accelerated or decelerated, and can reach high temperatures of over 100°C. The motor stator that constitutes the motor generator is generally composed of a core material and a winding, and insulating paper is used to insulate the core material from the winding or between different phase windings. Fixing devices for fixing the windings to prevent them from protruding, called wedges, interphase paper, and insulating caps, are also included in motor insulators, just like the insulating paper. In motor stators, which become hot due to heat generation, the insulating paper is also required to be heat resistant.
[0003] Conventionally, insulation materials for motors have been made of substrates such as polyester film, which has excellent electrical insulation and mechanical strength, aramid nonwoven fabric, which has improved properties such as heat resistance and chemical resistance, and polyphenylene sulfide film, or laminates made by laminating these substrates with an adhesive. However, in recent years, the operating temperature has risen further due to the miniaturization and high output of motors, and there is a demand for adhesives in the insulator to have improved durability in high-temperature environments. In addition, as the operating temperature rises, there is an increase in oil-cooled motors that cool the motor by pouring oil called automatic transmission fluid (ATF) over the motor, and there is a demand for adhesives in the insulator to have improved durability (heat and oil resistance) against automatic transmission fluid. In addition, automatic transmission fluid contains a small amount of moisture, so there is a demand for adhesives to have moisture and heat resistance, and various studies are being conducted.
[0004] In the above situation, for example, Patent Document 1 relates to an insulating paper for motors formed using a laminate sheet in which multiple sheet materials are laminated and bonded with a thermosetting adhesive, and describes that a thermosetting resin composition containing an epoxy resin component, a phenolic resin component, an acrylic resin component, and an imidazole-based curing agent component is used as the thermosetting adhesive, that the composition requires an epoxy resin component as an essential component, that bisphenol A-type epoxy resin is preferably used, and that the proportion of the epoxy resin component in the resin components contained in the thermosetting resin composition is 20 to 60 mass %.
[0005] Patent Document 2 also describes an acrylic adhesive composition used in the manufacture of a solar cell back surface protective sheet, which contains an acrylic polyol having a number average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000, a hydroxyl value of 1 to 100 mgKOH / g, and a glass transition temperature of more than -40°C and not more than 10°C, and a polyisocyanate, in which the equivalent ratio NCO / OH between the hydroxyl groups derived from the acrylic polyol and the isocyanate groups derived from the polyisocyanate is 0.1 to 3.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-178197 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2012-214703 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] However, the thermosetting resin composition described in Patent Document 1 contains a relatively large proportion of a bisphenol A-type epoxy resin component that contains bisphenol A, an environmental hormone, as an impurity, and cannot solve the safety issue. The acrylic adhesive described in Patent Document 2 does not combine butyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate, and there is no description or suggestion of the solution to the ATF durability problem by using such a combination. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive that has good adhesive performance and further has excellent durability against the heat of an oil-cooled motor, against dissolution in automatic transmission fluid, and against the moisture in automatic transmission fluid, a laminate using the adhesive, and an insulator for a motor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0015] <Reactive adhesive> The reactive adhesive of the present invention contains an acrylic polyol (A) and a polyisocyanate (B), the acrylic polyol (A) contains structural units derived from n-butyl methacrylate and structural units derived from n-butyl acrylate, the content of the structural units derived from n-butyl methacrylate is 50 mass% or more based on the total amount of all structural units of the acrylic polyol (A), and the content of the structural units derived from n-butyl acrylate is 30 mass% or more based on the total amount of all structural units of the acrylic polyol (A), and the polyisocyanate (B) has at least one ring structure selected from the group consisting of an isocyanurate ring and an aromatic ring derived from an aromatic polyisocyanate. The above-mentioned composition improves the wettability to the substrate and also increases the elastic modulus of the cured product at high temperatures, for example, at about 250°C, thereby providing excellent heat resistance and ATF resistance. In other words, the reactive adhesive of the present invention has a synergistic effect based on the following characteristics: the proportion of structural units derived from n-butyl methacrylate is 50% by mass or more, the proportion of structural units derived from n-butyl acrylate is 30% by mass or more, and the polyisocyanate (B) is a polyisocyanate having at least one ring structure selected from the group consisting of an isocyanurate ring and an aromatic ring derived from an aromatic polyisocyanate, and the effects of these characteristics work together to achieve excellent adhesive performance, heat resistance, and ATF resistance. The laminate of the present invention will now be described.
[0016] <Acrylic polyol (A)> The acrylic polyol (A) in the present invention has two or more hydroxyl groups in one molecule and contains a structural unit derived from n-butyl methacrylate and a structural unit derived from n-butyl acrylate. It is important that the content of the structural unit derived from n-butyl methacrylate is 50% by mass or more based on the total amount of all structural units of the acrylic polyol (A), and that the content of the structural unit derived from n-butyl acrylate is 30% by mass or more based on the total amount of all structural units of the acrylic polyol (A). The acrylic polyol (A) is preferably a copolymer of a hydroxyl group-containing mono(meth)acrylate and a hydroxyl group-free mono(meth)acrylate, including n-butyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate.
[0017] [Hydroxyl group-containing mono(meth)acrylate] The hydroxyl group-containing mono(meth)acrylate is a monomer that contains one (meth)acryloyl group and one or more hydroxyl groups in one molecule, and examples thereof include 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl methacrylate, glycerol mono(meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxyvinylbenzene, 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexanol, allyl alcohol, (poly)ethylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate, ε-caprolactone-modified (meth)acrylate, and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate.
[0018] [Mono(meth)acrylates not containing hydroxyl groups] The acrylic polyol (A) in the present invention contains 50% by mass or more of structural units derived from n-butyl methacrylate and 30% by mass or more of structural units derived from n-butyl acrylate. It is presumed that the acrylic polyol (A) contains a high ratio of 80% by mass or more in total of n-butyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate, both of which have the same number of carbon atoms in the side chains bonded via ester bonds and the same solubility parameter δt value of 8.51, so that the entanglement of the side chains in the adhesive becomes uniform, a high elastic modulus can be maintained even in a high temperature range where molecules are easily mobile, and excellent resistance (heat resistance and ATF resistance) can be exhibited. In addition, since the acrylic polyol (A) in the present invention has a ratio of structural units derived from n-butyl methacrylate of 50% by mass or more, structural units derived from n-butyl methacrylate form a partial structure adjacent to each other in the copolymer. This partial structure allows the properties of a homopolymer of n-butyl methacrylate, which has a glass transition point of about 20°C in the room temperature range, to be expressed, improving the wettability of the adhesive to the substrate when applied. It is presumed that this allows good adhesive performance to be maintained even in high temperature ranges, and provides excellent heat resistance and ATF resistance.
[0019] The glass transition temperature (Tg) and solubility parameter (δt) of homopolymers of n-butyl acrylate and n-butyl methacrylate are as follows: n-butyl acrylate (Tg: -48°C, δt: 8.51 (cal / cm 3 ) 1 / 2 ), n-butyl methacrylate (Tg: 20°C, δt: 8.51 (cal / cm 3 ) 1 / 2 ).
[0020] In the present invention, the content of the structural unit derived from n-butyl methacrylate is preferably 65% by mass or more from the viewpoint of forming a partial structure in which n-butyl methacrylate monomers are arranged in the acrylic polyol (A). Also, it is preferably 70% by mass or less. Also, the content of the structural unit derived from n-butyl acrylate is preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 45% by mass or less.

The acrylic polyol (A) may be copolymerized with a vinyl monomer such as acrylonitrile or styrene.
[0022] In the present invention, the weight average molecular weight of the acrylic polyol (A) is preferably 10,000 or more, more preferably 30,000 or more, from the viewpoint of heat resistance and ATF resistance.

The weight average molecular weight of the acrylic polyol (A) may be, for example, 10,000 to 250,000, or 30,000 to 100,000.
[0023] In the present invention, the weight average molecular weight is a value determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and converted into polystyrene equivalent.
[0024] The hydroxyl value of the acrylic polyol (A) is determined by the content of the hydroxyl group-containing mono(meth)acrylate, and is preferably 50 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 15 mgKOH / g or less, from the viewpoint of laminate strength and wet heat resistance. Also, it is preferably 1 mgKOH / g or more. The hydroxyl value of the acrylic polyol (A) may be, for example, 1 to 50 mgKOH / g, or 1 to 15 mgKOH / g.
[0025] In the present invention, the glass transition point (Tg) of the acrylic polyol (A) is preferably −20° C. or higher, more preferably −15° C. or higher, in terms of the balance between adhesive strength and durability such as heat resistance, moist heat resistance, heat resistance, and oil resistance, and is preferably 5° C. or lower, more preferably 0° C. or lower, and even more preferably −2° C. or lower.
[0026] In the present invention, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic polyol (A) is a value calculated based on the following formula (1) (Fox formula). 1 / Tg=W1 / Tg1+W2 / Tg2+ +Wn / Tgn (Formula 1) The above formula (1) is a calculation formula when the acrylic polyol (A) is composed of n types of monomer components, namely, monomer 1, monomer 2, . . . , monomer n.
[0027] In formula (1), Tg is the Tg (unit: K) of the acrylic polyol (A), Tgi (i = 1, 2, ... n) is the Tg (unit: K) when the radical polymerizable monomer i forms a homopolymer, and Wi (i = 1, 2, ... n) is the mass fraction of the radical polymerizable monomer i in the total monomer components. The Tg of the homopolymers of the main monomers used in the calculation are shown below.

By having a storage modulus value in the above range, the adhesive can maintain its cohesive force even in high temperature ranges and exhibit excellent durability in high temperature ranges. In detail, when the storage modulus of the cured product at 250°C is 1.0 MPa or more, durability against heat, moist heat, and hot oil is improved. When the storage modulus of the cured product at 250°C is 5.0 MPa or less, adhesion to substrates under conditions of heat, moist heat, and hot oil is improved. The storage modulus value varies depending on the types and amounts of polyol (A), polyisocyanate (B), additives, etc., and can be adjusted to bring the storage modulus value at 250°C into the above range by adjusting these conditions. From the viewpoint of achieving both adhesive strength and durability at high temperatures, the storage modulus of the cured product at 250° C. is more preferably 1.2 MPa or more, more preferably 4.5 MPa or less, and even more preferably 4.0 MPa or less. The storage modulus of the cured product at 250° C. may be, for example, 1.0 to 4.5 MPa, 1.0 to 4.0 MPa, 1.2 to 5.0 MPa, 1.2 to 4.5 MPa, or 1.2 to 4.0 MPa.
[0035] The storage modulus can be determined by the following method based on JIS K 7244. The reactive adhesive is spread thinly onto a non-corona treated CPP film to a thickness of 10-20 μm using an applicator, and left to stand in an 80°C environment for 2 weeks to cure the adhesive. The laminate is then cut into a length of 20 mm and a width of 5 mm, and the CPP film is peeled off to obtain a cured product with a length of 20 mm, a width of 5 mm, and a thickness of 10-20 μm.

The laminate of the present invention may further have another substrate laminated thereon, and in that case, the reactive adhesive of the present invention may be used.
[0050] <Motor insulation applications> The laminate of the present invention has excellent heat resistance, moist heat resistance, and ATF resistance, and can be used as an insulating material for a motor. For example, the insulating material for a motor may have a structure in which a first substrate, a first adhesive layer, a second substrate, a second adhesive layer, and a third substrate are laminated in this order, and the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer may each independently be a cured product of the reactive adhesive described above. The method for producing the motor insulator is not particularly limited, and it can be produced, for example, by the following method. First, the adhesive of the present invention is applied and dried on a first substrate to form a first adhesive layer, and then a second substrate is laminated so as to be in contact with the first adhesive layer to produce an intermediate laminate. Next, the reactive adhesive of the present invention is applied and dried on the intermediate laminate to form a second adhesive layer. Next, a third substrate is laminated so as to be in contact with the second adhesive layer on the intermediate laminate, and the adhesive is then cured by aging to produce a laminate (motor insulator).
[0051] Examples of the substrate in the motor insulation material as described above include a sheet made of aromatic polyamide fiber, a polyphenylene sulfide film, a polyimide film, a polyethylene naphthalate film, and a polyethylene terephthalate film. Among them, the substrates (first substrate and third substrate) arranged on the outer layer side are preferably substrates having excellent heat resistance. As such a substrate having excellent heat resistance, at least one selected from the group consisting of a sheet made of aromatic polyamide fiber and a polyphenylene sulfide film is preferably used. The second substrate is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyphenylene sulfide film, a polyimide film, a polyethylene naphthalate film, and a polyethylene terephthalate film.

[0053] <Weight average molecular weight> The weight average molecular weight was measured using a Showdex (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.) and columns: KF-805L, KF-803L, and KF-802 (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.), with the column temperature at 40°C, THF as eluent, a flow rate of 0.2 ml / min, detection by RI, and a sample concentration of 0.02 mass%, and the value was calculated in terms of standard polystyrene.
[0054] <Storage modulus of cured product at 250℃> The storage modulus was determined according to JIS K 7244 by the following method. First, the reactive adhesive was thinly spread on a non-corona treated CPP film to a thickness of 10 to 20 μm using an applicator, and the adhesive was cured by leaving it in an 80°C environment for 2 weeks to produce a laminate. Next, the laminate was cut into a length of 20 mm and a width of 5 mm, and the CPP film was peeled off to obtain a cured product with a length of 20 mm, a width of 5 mm, and a thickness of 10 to 20 μm. The obtained cured product was measured and determined using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (IT Measurement and Control Co., Ltd. "DVA-200") under the conditions of a measurement temperature starting from -30°C to 300°C, a frequency of 10 Hz, and a temperature rise rate of 10°C / min.
[0055] <Production of Acrylic Polyol (A)> (Synthesis Example 1) A four-neck flask equipped with a condenser, a nitrogen inlet tube, a dropping funnel, and a thermometer was charged with 100 parts of ethyl acetate and heated to 80°C.

[0070] From the results in Table 2, the reactive adhesive of the present invention, which contains an acrylic polyol using BMA and BA in a specified ratio as raw materials, and a polyisocyanate having a specific ring structure, exhibited a good elastic modulus at 250°C and an excellent balance between adhesive strength and durability at high temperatures. As a result, not only was the adhesive performance excellent, but it also exhibited durability against motor heat, dissolution in automatic transmission fluid, and moisture in automatic transmission fluid, and was excellent in moist heat resistance, 150°C heat resistance, and heat and oil resistance. In particular, when the storage modulus of the cured product at 250° C. was 1.0 to 5.0 MPa, both adhesive strength and durability in high temperature ranges were excellent (Examples 2, 25 to 27). Furthermore, when the blending amount of acetylacetone was 0.1 to 7 mass % based on the mass of the reactive adhesive, excellent moist heat resistance, 150° C. heat resistance, and ATF resistance were exhibited.
[0071] On the other hand, all of the comparative examples were poor in ATF resistance, and did not achieve both 150° C. heat resistance and ATF resistance.
