Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a curable resin composition, a coating layer, a laminate, a plastic lens, and an image display device.
Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the development of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs, resin-based substrates have been used. Resin-based substrates are lightweight and have excellent processability. However, they are known to have lower chemical resistance than inorganic materials such as glass, and their optical properties are impaired by whitening and surface roughness. In addition, resin-based substrates have low surface hardness, are prone to scratches, and tend to have reduced transparency. Therefore, when using such resin substrates, a technique of using a coating liquid for protecting the resin substrate and coating the substrate surface has been known.
[0003] In particular, cycloolefin-based polymers have excellent characteristics such as high transparency, low photoelasticity, good dielectric properties, high softening temperature, low water absorption rate, and high water vapor barrier properties. However, cycloolefin-based polymers have high resistance to acids, alkalis, and polar solvents, and have a problem that even when a coating liquid is applied, the adhesion is poor and it is difficult to laminate a coating film.
[0004] As a technique related to coating a resin substrate containing a cycloolefin-based polymer, Patent Document 1 discloses an invention using a photocurable resin composition containing an acrylic resin. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses an invention using an ultraviolet curable resin containing inorganic fine particles as an easy adhesion layer.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0006] However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to use an acrylic resin. Since the acrylic resin needs to be polymerized in a nitrogen atmosphere for sufficient curing, there are problems in handleability. In addition, the cycloolefin copolymer has high chemical resistance and there is also a problem that it is difficult to obtain sufficient adhesion.
[0007] In the invention described in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to laminate another layer as an adhesive layer between the base material and the coating layer. When laminating multiple layers in this way, there is a problem that the uniformity of the film thickness decreases and optical properties and the like are easily impaired.
[0008] In addition, the coating layer itself was also required to have excellent moisture resistance similar to that of the cycloolefin copolymer base material.
[0009] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a curable resin composition that can be coated in a single layer, has sufficient adhesion to a cycloolefin copolymer base material, and is excellent in moisture resistance.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0010] As a result of intensive efforts to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that a curable resin composition containing an alicyclic ketone compound and / or an alicyclic ether compound and a cationically polymerizable silsesquioxane and / or a cationically polymerizable cyclic siloxane can be coated in a single layer, has sufficient adhesion to a cycloolefin copolymer base material, and is excellent in moisture resistance. The present disclosure has been completed based on these findings.

[0012] The curable resin composition preferably has a viscosity at 25 °C of 15 mPa·s or less. By having the viscosity within the above range, it becomes easy to exhibit film thickness uniformity.
[0013] In the curable resin composition, the alicyclic ketone compound is preferably cyclohexanone or cyclopentanone, and the alicyclic ether compound is preferably cyclopentyl methyl ether.

[0015] The present disclosure also provides a coating layer which is a cured product of the curable resin composition.
[0016] The present disclosure also provides a laminate in which the coating layer is laminated on at least one of cycloolefin copolymer substrates.
[0017] In the laminate, it is preferable that 100 meshes are formed in a lattice pattern at 1 mm intervals in the coating layer, an adhesive tape is attached, and when peeled off in the 90 °C direction, 90 or more meshes remain. By having the above configuration, it becomes easy to exhibit adhesion.
[0018] In the laminate, the arithmetic mean height (Sa) of the coating layer is preferably 30 μm or less.
[0019] In the laminate, the cycloolefin copolymer substrate is preferably a substrate for a lens.
[0020] Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a plastic lens including the above laminate.
[0021] Furthermore, the present disclosure provides an image display device including the above laminate.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0023] [Curable Resin Composition] The curable resin composition of the present disclosure is a curable resin composition for coating a cycloolefin copolymer substrate, and includes an alicyclic ketone compound and / or an alicyclic ether compound, and a cationically polymerizable silsesquioxane and / or a cationically polymerizable cyclic siloxane.

Among them, R 1aFrom the viewpoint of the curability of the curable resin composition, a linear alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a branched alkylene group having 3 or 4 carbon atoms is preferable, more preferably an ethylene group, a trimethylene group, a propylene group, and even more preferably an ethylene group or a trimethylene group.
[0028] In the above formula (1b), R 1b represents a linear or branched alkylene group, and groups similar to R 1a are exemplified. Among them, as R 1b From the viewpoint of the curability of the curable resin composition, a linear alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a branched alkylene group having 3 or 4 carbon atoms is preferable, more preferably an ethylene group, a trimethylene group, a propylene group, and even more preferably an ethylene group or a trimethylene group.
[0029] In the above formula (1c), R 1c represents a linear or branched alkylene group, and groups similar to R 1a are exemplified. Among them, as R 1c From the viewpoint of the curability of the curable resin composition, a linear alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a branched alkylene group having 3 or 4 carbon atoms is preferable, more preferably an ethylene group, a trimethylene group, a propylene group, and even more preferably an ethylene group or a trimethylene group.
[0030] In the above formula (1d), R 1d represents a linear or branched alkylene group, and groups similar to R 1a are exemplified. Among them, as R 1d From the viewpoint of the curability of the curable resin composition, a linear alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a branched alkylene group having 3 or 4 carbon atoms is preferable, more preferably an ethylene group, a trimethylene group, a propylene group, and even more preferably an ethylene group or a trimethylene group.
[0031] As the group containing an epoxy group, particularly, the group represented by the above formula (1a) in which R 1a is an ethylene group [among them, a 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl group] is preferable.
[0032] Examples of the cationic polymerizable silsesquioxane include compounds having a structural unit represented by the following formula (1). [R 1 SiO 3 / 2 (1)
[0033] The structural unit represented by the above formula (1) is generally a silsesquioxane structural unit (so-called T unit) represented by [RSiO 3 / 2 . In the above formula, R represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, and the same applies hereinafter. The structural unit represented by the above formula (1) is formed by hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the corresponding hydrolyzable trifunctional silane compound. In this specification, a compound having the structural unit represented by the above formula (1) may be referred to as "silsesquioxane (X)". R in formula (1) 1 represents a group (monovalent group) containing the above cationic polymerizable functional group.
[0034] Silsesquioxane (X) may have only one kind of the structural unit represented by the above formula (1), or may have two or more kinds of the structural units represented by the above formula (1).
[0035] Silsesquioxane (X) may have, as the silsesquioxane structural unit [RSiO 3 / 2 , in addition to the structural unit represented by the above formula (1), a structural unit represented by the following formula (2). [R 2 SiO 3 / 2 (2)
[0036] The structural unit represented by the above formula (2) is generally a silsesquioxane structural unit (T unit) represented by [RSiO 3 / 2 . That is, the structural unit represented by the above formula (2) is formed by hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the corresponding hydrolyzable trifunctional silane compound.
[0037] R in the above formula (2) 2represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group. Examples of the above aryl group include a phenyl group, a tolyl group, a naphthyl group, etc. Examples of the above aralkyl group include a benzyl group, a phenethyl group, etc. Examples of the above cycloalkyl group include a cyclobutyl group, a cyclopentyl group, a cyclohexyl group, etc. Examples of the above alkyl group include linear or branched alkyl groups such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, an n-butyl group, an isopropyl group, an isobutyl group, an s-butyl group, a t-butyl group, an isopentyl group, etc.
[0038] Examples of the above substituted aryl group, substituted aralkyl group, substituted cycloalkyl group, and substituted alkyl group include groups in which at least one of the hydrogen atoms or a part or all of the main chain skeleton in each of the above aryl group, aralkyl group, cycloalkyl group, and alkyl group is substituted with an alkyl group (especially a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms), an ether group, an ester group, a carbonyl group, a siloxane group, a halogen atom (such as a fluorine atom), a mercapto group, an amino group, and a hydroxy group (hydroxyl group).
[0039] Among them, R 2 is preferably a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, more preferably a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and even more preferably a phenyl group.
[0040] The ratio of each of the above silsesquioxane structural units (the structural unit represented by formula (1) and the structural unit represented by formula (2)) in the silsesquioxane (X) can be appropriately adjusted according to the composition of the raw materials (hydrolyzable trifunctional silane) for forming these structural units.
[0041] Among the silsesquioxanes (X), in particular, the structural unit represented by the above formula (1) in which R 1 is a group containing an alicyclic epoxy group, and R 2It is preferable to contain at least a structural unit represented by the above formula (2) in which Ar is an aryl group which may have a substituent. In this case, the surface hardness, flexibility, processability, and flame retardancy of the coating layer tend to be more excellent.
[0042] In addition to the structural unit represented by the above formula (1) which is a T unit and the structural unit represented by the above formula (2), the silsesquioxane (X) may further have at least one siloxane structural unit selected from the group consisting of a structural unit represented by [R3SiO 1 / 2 (so-called M unit), a structural unit represented by [R2SiO 2 / 2 (so-called D unit), and a structural unit represented by [SiO 4 / 2 (so-called Q unit). Note that R in the above M unit and the above D unit is the same group as R in the structural unit represented by the above formula (1) 1 and R in the structural unit represented by the above formula (2). Examples of the siloxane structural unit other than the structural unit represented by the above formula (1) and the structural unit represented by the above formula (2) include a structural unit represented by the following formula (3). 2 [HSiO 3 / 2 (3)
[0043] The silsesquioxane (X) contains a structural unit (T3 body) represented by the following formula (I). Further, it may contain a structural unit (T2 body) represented by the following formula (II). [R a SiO 3 / 2 (I) [R b SiO 2 / 2 (OR c )] (II)
[0044] Incidentally, when the structural unit represented by the above formula (I) is described in more detail, it is represented by the following formula (I'). Also, when the structural unit represented by the above formula (II) is described in more detail, it is represented by the following formula (II'). Each of the three oxygen atoms bonded to the silicon atom shown in the structure represented by the following formula (I') is bonded to another silicon atom (a silicon atom not shown in formula (I')). On the other hand, each of the two oxygen atoms located above and below the silicon atom shown in the structure represented by the following formula (II') is bonded to another silicon atom (a silicon atom not shown in formula (II')). That is, both the above T3 unit and T2 unit are structural units (T units) formed by hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the corresponding hydrolyzable trifunctional silane compounds. [Chemical formula] [Chemical formula]
[0045] R in the above formula (I) a (R in formula (I') a is the same) and R in formula (II) b (R in formula (II') b is the same) each represent a group containing a cationic polymerizable functional group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a hydrogen atom. Specific examples of R a and R b are the same as those of R 1 in the above formula (1) and R 2 in the above formula (2). Incidentally, R a in formula (I) and R bEach is a group derived from a group bonded to a silicon atom in the hydrolyzable trifunctional silane compound used as a raw material of the silsesquioxane (X) (a group other than an alkoxy group and a halogen atom), or, for example, when the cationic polymerizable functional group is an epoxy group, it is a group obtained by epoxidizing a group bonded to a silicon atom in the hydrolyzable trifunctional silane compound used as a raw material of the silsesquioxane (X) (a group other than an alkoxy group and a halogen atom).
[0046] R in the above formula (II) c (R in the formula (II')) c is the same) represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of the alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms include linear or branched alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, an isopropyl group, a butyl group, and an isobutyl group. Among them, a methyl group and an ethyl group are preferable, and a methyl group is more preferable. The alkyl group in R in the formula (II) generally originates from the alkyl group forming the alkoxy group in the hydrolyzable silane compound used as a raw material of the silsesquioxane (X). c
[0047] The molar ratio of the structural unit (T3 unit) represented by the above formula (I) to the structural unit (T2 unit) represented by the above formula (II) in the silsesquioxane (X) [structural unit represented by formula (I) / structural unit represented by formula (II)] (may be described as "T3 unit / T2 unit") is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 or more, more preferably 5 to 20, still more preferably 5 to 18, still more preferably 6 to 16, still more preferably 7 to 15, and particularly preferably 8 to 14. By setting the above molar ratio [T3 unit / T2 unit] to 5 or more, the surface hardness of the coating layer tends to be further improved.
[0048] The above molar ratio [T3 unit / T2 unit] in the silsesquioxane (X) can be determined, for example, 29 by Si-NMR spectrum measurement. 29 In the Si-NMR spectrum, since the silicon atom in the structural unit (T3 form) represented by the above formula (I) and the silicon atom in the structural unit (T2 form) represented by the above formula (II) show signals (peaks) at different positions (chemical shifts), the molar ratio [T3 form / T2 form] can be determined by calculating the integration ratio of these respective peaks. Specifically, for example, when the silsesquioxane (X) has a structural unit in which R 1 is a 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl group, the signal of the silicon atom in the structure (T3 form) represented by the above formula (I) appears at -64 to -70 ppm, and the signal of the silicon atom in the structure (T2 form) represented by the above formula (II) appears at -54 to -60 ppm. Therefore, in this case, the molar ratio [T3 form / T2 form] can be determined by calculating the integration ratio of the signal at -64 to -70 ppm (T3 form) and the signal at -54 to -60 ppm (T2 form).
[0049] The Si-NMR spectrum of the silsesquioxane (X) 29 can be measured, for example, by the following apparatus and conditions. Measuring apparatus: Trade name "JNM-ECA500 NMR" (manufactured by JEOL Ltd.) Solvent: Deuterochloroform Number of integrations: 1800 times Measuring temperature: 25 °C
[0050] The fact that the molar ratio [T3 form / T2 form] of the silsesquioxane (X) is 5 or more means that there is a certain amount or more of the T2 form relative to the T3 form in the silsesquioxane (X). Examples of such T2 forms include a structural unit represented by the following formula (4), a structural unit represented by the following formula (5), a structural unit represented by the following formula (6), and the like. R in the following formula (4) 1 and R in the following formula (5) 2 are the same as R in the above formula (1) 1 and R in the above formula (2) 2 respectively. R in the following formulas (4) to (6) c is R in formula (II).c Similarly, it represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. [R 1 SiO 2 / 2 (OR c )] (4) [R 2 SiO 2 / 2 (OR c )] (5) [HSiO 2 / 2 (OR c )] (6)
[0051] The cationically polymerizable silsesquioxane (especially, silsesquioxane (X)) may be a silsesquioxane having a cage-type shape (cage-type silsesquioxane). The cage-type silsesquioxane includes a perfect cage-type silsesquioxane and an imperfect cage-type silsesquioxane, and among them, the imperfect cage-type silsesquioxane is preferable.
[0052] Generally, the perfect cage-type silsesquioxane is a polyorganosilsesquioxane composed only of T3 units, and there is no T2 unit in the molecule. That is, the above molar ratio [T3 unit / T2 unit] is 5 or more, and as described later, when there is one specific absorption peak near 1100 cm -1 in the FT-IR spectrum, the silsesquioxane is suggested to have an imperfect cage-type silsesquioxane structure.
[0053] Whether the silsesquioxane (X) has a cage-type (imperfect cage-type) silsesquioxane structure can be confirmed by FT-IR spectrum [Reference: R.H. Raney, M. Itoh, A. Sakakibara and T. Suzuki, Chem. Rev. 95, 1409 (1995)]. Specifically, in the FT-IR spectrum, there are no specific absorption peaks near 1050 cm -1 and near 1150 cm -1 , and near 1100 cm -1When there is one specific absorption peak in the vicinity, it can be identified that the silsesquioxane (X) has a cage-type (incomplete cage-type) silsesquioxane structure. In contrast, generally, in the FT-IR spectrum, when there are specific absorption peaks at around 1050 cm -1 and around 1150 cm -1 respectively, it is identified as having a ladder-type silsesquioxane structure. The FT-IR spectrum of the silsesquioxane (X) can be measured, for example, under the following apparatus and conditions. Measuring apparatus: Trade name "FT-720" (manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.) Measuring method: Transmission method Resolution: 4 cm -1 Measuring wavenumber range: 400 - 4000 cm -1 Number of integrations: 16 times
[0054] The ratio (total amount) of the structural unit having a cationic polymerizable functional group (for example, the structural unit represented by the above formula (1), the structural unit represented by the above formula (4), etc.) to the total amount of the siloxane structural units [total siloxane structural units; total amount of M unit, D unit, T unit, and Q unit] (100 mol%) in the cationic polymerizable silsesquioxane is not particularly limited, but 50 mol% or more (for example, 50 - 100 mol%) is preferable, more preferably 55 - 100 mol%, still more preferably 65 - 99.9 mol%, further preferably 80 - 99 mol%, and particularly preferably 90 - 98 mol%. When the above ratio is 50 mol% or more, the curability of the curable resin composition is improved, and the surface hardness of the coating layer becomes extremely high. The ratio of each siloxane structural unit in the cationic polymerizable silsesquioxane can be calculated, for example, from the composition of the raw materials and NMR spectrum measurement, etc.
[0055] The ratio of the structural unit (T3 unit) represented by the above formula (I) to the total amount of siloxane structural units [total siloxane structural units; total amount of M units, D units, T units, and Q units] (100 mol%) in the silsesquioxane (X) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50 mol% or more, more preferably 60 to 99 mol%, still more preferably 70 to 98 mol%, still more preferably 80 to 95 mol%, and particularly preferably 85 to 92 mol%. By setting the ratio of the structural unit of the T3 unit to 50 mol% or more, it is presumed that it becomes easier to form an incomplete cage-type shape having an appropriate molecular weight, and the surface hardness of the coating layer tends to be further improved.
[0056] The ratio (total amount) of the structural unit represented by the above formula (2) and the structural unit represented by the above formula (5) to the total amount of siloxane structural units [total siloxane structural units; total amount of M units, D units, T units, and Q units] (100 mol%) in the silsesquioxane (X) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0 to 50 mol%, more preferably 0 to 40 mol%, still more preferably 0 to 30 mol%, and particularly preferably 1 to 15 mol%. By setting the above ratio to 50 mol% or less, the ratio of the structural unit having a cationic polymerizable functional group can be relatively increased, so that the curability of the curable resin composition is improved and the surface hardness of the coating layer tends to be higher.
[0057] The ratio (total amount), particularly the total ratio of the T3 unit and the T2 unit, of the structural unit represented by the above formula (I) and the structural unit represented by the above formula (II) with respect to the total amount of siloxane structural units [total siloxane structural units; total amount of M unit, D unit, T unit, and Q unit] (100 mol%) in the silsesquioxane (X) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 60 mol% or more (for example, 60 to 100 mol%), more preferably 70 mol% or more, still more preferably 80 mol% or more, and particularly preferably 90 mol% or more. By setting the above ratio to 60 mol% or more, it is presumed that it becomes easier to form an incomplete cage type shape having an appropriate molecular weight, and the surface hardness of the coating layer tends to be further improved. In particular, it is preferable that the ratio (total amount) of the structural unit represented by the above formula (1), the structural unit represented by the above formula (2), the structural unit represented by the above formula (4), and the structural unit represented by the above formula (5) is within the above range.
[0058] The number average molecular weight (Mn) in terms of standard polystyrene of the silsesquioxane (X) by gel permeation chromatography is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1000 to 3000, more preferably 1000 to 2800, still more preferably 1100 to 2600, and particularly preferably 1500 to 2500. By setting the number average molecular weight to 1000 or more, the surface hardness of the coating layer tends to be further improved. The heat resistance and wear resistance of the coating layer tend to be improved. On the other hand, by setting the number average molecular weight to 3000 or less, the compatibility with other components in the curable resin composition is improved, and the heat resistance of the coating layer tends to be improved.
[0059] The molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) in terms of standard polystyrene of the silsesquioxane (X) by gel permeation chromatography is not particularly limited, but is preferably from 1.0 to 3.0, more preferably from 1.1 to 2.0, still more preferably from 1.2 to 1.9, still more preferably from 1.3 to 1.8, and particularly preferably from 1.45 to 1.80. By setting the molecular weight distribution to 3.0 or less, the surface hardness of the coating layer tends to be higher. On the other hand, by setting the molecular weight distribution to 1.0 or more (particularly 1.1 or more), it tends to become liquid and the handleability tends to be improved.
[0060] Incidentally, the number average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the silsesquioxane (X) can be measured by the following apparatus and conditions. Measuring apparatus: Trade name "LC-20AD" (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) Columns: Shodex KF-801×2, KF-802, and KF-803 (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.) Measurement temperature: 40 °C Eluent: THF, sample concentration 0.1 to 0.2 mass% Flow rate: 1 mL / min Detector: UV-VIS detector (trade name "SPD-20A", manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) Molecular weight: In terms of standard polystyrene
[0061] The cationically polymerizable silsesquioxane can be produced by a known or commonly used method for producing silsesquioxane, and is not particularly limited. For example, it can be produced by a method of hydrolyzing and condensing one or more hydrolyzable silane compounds.
[0062] The above cationically polymerizable cyclic siloxane is a compound having at least a cyclic siloxane skeleton composed of siloxane bonds (Si-O-Si). Further, in addition to the above cyclic siloxane skeleton, it may contain a linear or branched silicone (linear or branched polysiloxane), a siloxane skeleton such as a cage-type or ladder-type polysilsesquioxane, and the like.
[0063] The number of Si-O units forming the siloxane ring (equal to the number of silicon atoms forming the siloxane ring) of the above cationically polymerizable cyclic siloxane is preferably from 2 to 12, more preferably from 4 to 8.
[0064] Also, the above cationically polymerizable cyclic siloxane preferably has two or more alicyclic epoxy groups in the molecule.
