Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a cured product, and a laminate. [Background technology]

[0002] Adhesives are used to bond optical components together in the manufacturing process of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, digital home appliances such as digital cameras, audio equipment, and televisions, and communication devices such as radios and modems, for example, bonding touch sensors to front panels when manufacturing touch panels, or bonding touch sensors to image display devices, and these applications require high adhesive strength, transparency, and durability (maintaining high transparency even after storage under high temperature and humidity conditions).In addition, terminal devices have become increasingly flexible in recent years, and foldable and rollable devices have also been developed.

[0003] In the case of foldable devices, required properties include "bending resistance" that prevents peeling of the substrate or misalignment of the adhesive layer (cured layer) even when folded multiple times, and "strain recovery" that returns the device to a flat state after being bent and deformed. As such an adhesive, the present applicant has disclosed an active energy ray-curable adhesive composition containing specific amounts of polyurethane (meth)acrylate, alkyl mono(meth)acrylate, and primary hydroxyl group-containing mono(meth)acrylate. While this composition has excellent bending resistance, its strain recovery is still insufficient. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0035] Among these polymer polyols, polyether polyols are preferred because they impart flexibility to the cured product layer and tend to exhibit high strain recovery.

[0036] The physical properties of the component (a1) include, for example, a number average molecular weight (a polystyrene equivalent value determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC)) of preferably 700 to 30,000, more preferably 1,000 to 25,000, and even more preferably 1,500 to 20,000, in order to impart flexibility to the cured layer and facilitate the exhibiting of high strain recovery.

[0037] Examples of the component (a2) include aromatic diisocyanates such as tolylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and xylylene diisocyanate; Aliphatic diisocyanates such as pentamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate; Examples thereof include alicyclic diisocyanates such as dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, 1,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate, and hydrogenated tolylene diisocyanate. Furthermore, as the component (a2), isocyanurates, adducts, or biurets of these may be used. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, aliphatic diisocyanates and alicyclic diisocyanates are preferred, and hexamethylene diisocyanate and isophorone diisocyanate are more preferred.

[0038] The ratio of the (a1) component to the (a2) component is determined by the number of moles of the isocyanate group of the (a2) component (NCO (a2) ) and the number of moles of hydroxyl groups in the (a1) component (OH (a1) ) and the ratio (NCO (a2) / OH (a1) ) is preferably 1.01 to 2, more preferably 1.07 to 1.7.

[0039] The component (a3) ​​is a (meth)acrylic monomer (a3-1) having a hydroxy group (hereinafter referred to as the component (a3-1)) and a (meth)acrylic monomer (a3-2) having an isocyanate group (hereinafter referred to as the component (a3-2)). By using this component, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is easily cured, and the layer of the cured product is likely to exhibit high adhesive strength and strain recovery.

[0040] Examples of the component (a3-1) include: Mono(meth)acrylates having a hydroxy group, such as 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, 5-hydroxypentyl (meth)acrylate, 6-hydroxyhexyl (meth)acrylate, 7-hydroxyheptyl (meth)acrylate, and 8-hydroxyoctyl (meth)acrylate; Di(meth)acrylates having a hydroxy group, such as trimethylolpropane di(meth)acrylate; Examples include N-(hydroxyalkyl)(meth)acrylamides such as N-(hydroxymethyl)(meth)acrylamide, N-(1-hydroxyethyl)(meth)acrylamide, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)(meth)acrylamide, and N-(2-hydroxypropyl)(meth)acrylamide. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0041] Examples of the component (a3-2) include mono(meth)acrylates having an isocyanate group, such as 2-isocyanatoethyl(meth)acrylate and 2-(2-methacryloyloxyethyloxy)ethyl isocyanate; Examples include di(meth)acrylates having an isocyanate group such as 1,1-bis(acryloyloxymethyl)ethyl isocyanate, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0042] Among these, mono(meth)acrylates having a hydroxy group, N-(hydroxyalkyl)(meth)acrylamides, and mono(meth)acrylates having an isocyanate group are preferred because they readily react with the functional groups (hydroxy groups derived from component (a1) or isocyanate groups derived from component (a2)) of the urethane prepolymer formed by the reaction of component (a1) with component (a2). 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, N-(1-hydroxyethyl)(meth)acrylamide, and 2-isocyanatoethyl (meth)acrylate are more preferred.

[0043] Component (A) is produced by various known methods. Hereinafter, component (a3) ​​will be described separately as component (A1) obtained using component (a3-1) (hereinafter referred to as component (A1)), and component (A2) obtained using component (a3-2) (hereinafter referred to as component (A2)).

[0044] The (A1) component can be obtained, for example, by reacting the (a1) component with the (a2) component to produce an isocyanate group-terminated urethane prepolymer (hereinafter referred to as the (A1') component), and then reacting the (A1') component with the (a3-1) component. The reaction conditions are typically a temperature of 70 to 85°C and a reaction time of 1 to 5 hours. The ratio of the (a1) component to the (a2) component to be used depends on the number of moles of isocyanate groups (NCO (a2) ) and the number of moles of hydroxyl groups in the (a1) component (OH (a1) ) and the ratio (NCO (a2) / OH (a1) ) is preferably 1.01 to 2. The ratio of the component (A1') to the component (a3-1) used is determined by the ratio of the number of moles of isocyanate groups (NCO (A1’) ) and the number of moles of hydroxyl groups in the latter (OH (a3-1) ) and the ratio (NCO (A1’) / OH (a3-1) ) is preferably 0.25 to 1.

[0045] Component (A2) can be prepared by reacting components (a1) and (a2) to obtain a hydroxyl-terminated urethane prepolymer (hereinafter referred to as component (A2')), and then reacting component (A2') with component (a3-2). The reaction temperature and reaction time are the same as for component (A1). The ratio of component (a1) to component (a2) used is (NCO (a2) / OH (a1) ) is preferably 0.50 to 0.99. The ratio of the component (A2') to the component (a3-2) used is determined by the ratio of the number of moles of isocyanate groups (NCO (a3-2) ) and the number of moles of hydroxyl groups in the former (OH (A2’) ) and the ratio (NCO (a3-2) / OH (A2’) ) is preferably 0.5 to 1.

[0046] The production of these components (A1) and (A2) may be carried out in the presence of an organic solvent, as described below, but is preferably carried out in the absence of a solvent to reduce environmental impact.Furthermore, the production of these components may also be carried out in the presence of component (B), as described below.

[0047] As for the physical properties of the obtained component (A), the weight-average molecular weight is preferably 30,000 to 250,000, more preferably 50,000 to 200,000, and even more preferably 80,000 to 150,000, from the viewpoints of facilitating application of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition to the surface of the substrate and imparting flexibility to the cured layer formed, which tends to exhibit high strain recovery. The weight-average molecular weight is a value measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using polystyrene as a standard substance.

[0048] Furthermore, the average number of (meth)acryloyl groups per molecule of component (A) (hereinafter simply referred to as "average number of (meth)acryloyl groups") is preferably 1 to 4, as this provides flexibility to the cured product layer and makes it easier for high strain recovery to be exhibited. From the same perspective, the average number of (meth)acryloyl groups is preferably 1 to 3, and more preferably 1 to 2. Note that "(meth)acryloyl group" means an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group.

[0049] The average number of (meth)acryloyl groups per molecule of component (A) refers to the average number of (meth)acryloyl groups present per molecule of component (A). For example, if 1 mole of ethylene glycol is reacted with 2 moles of diisocyanate as component (a2), and 2 moles of component (a3-1), if component (a3-1) is a mono(meth)acrylate, the average number of (meth)acryloyl groups will be 2, and if it is a tri(meth)acrylate, the average number of (meth)acryloyl groups will be 6.

[0050] The component (A) may contain two or more components with the same or different average numbers of (meth)acryloyl groups, or may be a mixture, and the average number of (meth)acryloyl groups in this case can be determined as a weighted average. For example, when 0.2 moles of component (A) with an average number of (meth)acryloyl groups of 1 and 0.8 moles of component (A) with an average number of (meth)acryloyl groups of 2 are contained, the composition is as follows: (Formula 2) [Average number of (meth)acryloyl groups per molecule of component (A)] =(1×0.2+2×0.8) / (0.2+0.8)=1.8

[0051] When the total of components (A), (B), and (C) is taken as 100% by mass, the content of component (A) is 10 to 40% by mass in terms of nonvolatile mass (the same applies hereinafter). If the content of component (A) is less than 10% by mass, the strain in the cured layer becomes difficult to recover (resulting in poor strain recovery). If the content of component (A) is more than 40% by mass, the storage modulus of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition becomes too high, which tends to result in poor conformability and adhesion between the substrate and the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and also tends to result in poor transparency of the cured layer. From the same viewpoint, the content of component (A) is preferably 15 to 35% by mass, more preferably 20 to 30% by mass.

[0052] Component (B) is a mono(meth)acrylate that does not have a hydroxy group, and is a component that imparts flexibility to the layer of the cured product, making it easier for the layer to exhibit high strain recovery.

[0053] Examples of component (B) include: Methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, n-propyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, n-pentyl (meth)acrylate, n-hexyl (meth)acrylate, n-heptyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, n-nonyl (meth)acrylate, n-decyl (meth)acrylate, isodecyl (meth)acrylate aliphatic mono(meth)acrylates such as n-decyl (meth)acrylate, tri-n-decyl (meth)acrylate, n-dodecyl (meth)acrylate (lauryl (meth)acrylate), n-tetradecyl (meth)acrylate (myristyl (meth)acrylate), n-hexadecyl (meth)acrylate (palmityl (meth)acrylate), n-octadecyl (meth)acrylate (stearyl (meth)acrylate), isostearyl (meth)acrylate, and carbitol (meth)acrylate; alicyclic mono(meth)acrylates such as cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, norbornyl (meth)acrylate, isobornyl (meth)acrylate, norbornanyl (meth)acrylate, dicyclopentenyl (meth)acrylate, dicyclopentenyloxyethyl (meth)acrylate, dicyclopentanyl (meth)acrylate, dicyclopentanyloxyethyl (meth)acrylate, and tricyclodecanedimethylol di(meth)acrylate; Examples of the aromatic mono(meth)acrylate include phenyl (meth)acrylate, benzyl acrylate, 2-phenylethyl (meth)acrylate, nonylphenoxy polyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, o-phenylphenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, m-phenylphenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, p-phenylphenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, o-phenoxybenzyl (meth)acrylate, m-phenoxybenzyl (meth)acrylate, p-phenoxybenzyl (meth)acrylate, ethoxylated-o-phenylphenol (meth)acrylate, ethoxylated-m-phenylphenol (meth)acrylate, ethoxylated-p-phenylphenol (meth)acrylate, ethylene oxide-modified-o-cumylphenol (meth)acrylate, ethylene oxide-modified-m-cumylphenol (meth)acrylate, ethylene oxide-modified-p-cumylphenol (meth)acrylate, and triphenylmethyl (meth)acrylate. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, aliphatic mono(meth)acrylates are preferred, and n-octyl(meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl(meth)acrylate, lauryl(meth)acrylate, and carbitol(meth)acrylate are more preferred, since the cured product layer has a high storage modulus and is likely to exhibit strain recovery.

[0054] When the total of components (A), (B), and (C) is taken as 100% by mass, the content of component (B) is 40 to 80% by mass. If the content of component (B) is less than 40% by mass, the storage modulus of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition becomes too high, which tends to result in poor conformability and adhesion between the substrate and the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and also tends to reduce the transparency of the cured layer. If the content of component (B) exceeds 80% by mass, the adhesive strength of the cured layer tends to deteriorate. From the same viewpoint, the content of component (B) is preferably 50 to 75% by mass, more preferably 60 to 70% by mass.

[0055] Component (C) is a mono(meth)acrylate having a hydroxy group, and is a component that allows the layer of the cured product to exhibit high transparency after exposure to high temperature and high humidity.

[0056] Examples of the component (C) include aliphatic mono(meth)acrylates having one primary hydroxy group, such as 2-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl(meth)acrylate, 5-hydroxypentyl(meth)acrylate, 6-hydroxyhexyl(meth)acrylate, 7-hydroxyheptyl(meth)acrylate, and 8-hydroxyoctyl(meth)acrylate; aliphatic mono(meth)acrylates having one secondary hydroxy group, such as 2-hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxybutyl(meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxybutyl(meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxyhexyl(meth)acrylate, and 5-hydroxyhexyl(meth)acrylate; aliphatic mono(meth)acrylates having two hydroxy groups, such as 2,3-dihydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3,4-dihydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, glycerin mono(meth)acrylate, and 1,4-dihydroxyheptyl (meth)acrylate; alicyclic mono(meth)acrylates having one hydroxy group, such as 4-hydroxycyclohexyl(meth)acrylate and 3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl(meth)acrylate; Alicyclic mono(meth)acrylates having two hydroxy groups, such as 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol mono(meth)acrylate and 3,5-dihydroxyadamantyl (meth)acrylate; Examples include aromatic (meth)acrylates having one hydroxy group such as 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl (meth)acrylate, which may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0057] Among these, (meth)acrylates having one primary hydroxy group are preferred, and 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate and 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate are more preferred, since the cured layer tends to exhibit high transparency after exposure to high temperature and high humidity.

[0058] The content of component (C) is 5 to 30% by mass when the total of components (A), (B), and (C) is taken as 100% by mass. If the content of component (C) is less than 5% by mass, the adhesive composition is likely to whiten in high-temperature, high-humidity environments. If the content of component (C) is more than 30% by mass, the storage modulus of the adhesive composition becomes too high, which tends to result in poor conformability and adhesion between the substrate and the adhesive composition, and also tends to reduce the transparency of the cured product layer. From the same perspective, the content of component (C) is preferably 10 to 25% by mass, more preferably 15 to 20% by mass.

[0059] Component (D) is a photopolymerization initiator, and in the present invention, it contains a photocleavage polymerization initiator (D1) (hereinafter referred to as component (D1)) and a hydrogen abstraction polymerization initiator (D2) (hereinafter referred to as component (D2)).

[0063] The content of the (D1) component relative to the total of 100% by mass of the (A), (B), and (C) components is preferably 0.1 to 2% by mass, more preferably 0.25 to 2% by mass, and even more preferably 0.5 to 2% by mass, since the cured product layer is likely to exhibit high adhesive strength.

[0066] Among these, benzophenones, oxyacetic acid esters, and methylbenzoyl formate are preferred because the cured product layer is likely to exhibit high strain recovery properties, 4-methylbenzophenone, oxyphenylacetic acid 2-(2-oxo-2-phenylacetoxyethoxy)ethyl ester, oxyphenylacetic acid 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl ester, and methylbenzoyl formate are more preferred, and 4-methylbenzophenone and methylbenzoyl formate are even more preferred.

[0067] The content of the (D2) component relative to the total of 100% by mass of the (A), (B), and (C) components is preferably 0.1 to 2% by mass, more preferably 0.2 to 2% by mass, and even more preferably 0.25 to 2% by mass, since the cured product layer is likely to exhibit high strain recovery.

[0099] Example 1 An active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition was obtained by mixing acrylic polyurethane (A-1), 2-ethylhexyl acrylate as the component (B), 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate as the component (C), 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone (trade name: "Omnirad184", manufactured by IGM Resins) as the component (D1), and methyl benzoyl formate (trade name: "Omnirad MBF", manufactured by IGM Resins) as the component (D2) in the blending ratios shown in Table 1.

[0100] Examples 2 to 20, Comparative Examples 1 to 9 The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out except that the compositions and contents were changed as shown in Table 1, to obtain active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions.

[0101] <Creating a layer of cured material> The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of each Example and Comparative Example was applied to a 75 μm thick polyester film treated with a heavy release agent (product name: "PET75x1-J4", manufactured by Nippa Corporation) so that the film thickness after curing would be 50 μm, and the release-treated surface of a 75 μm thick polyester film treated with a light release agent (product name: "PET75x1-J0L", manufactured by Nippa Corporation) was bonded to the applied layer. Next, in the atmosphere, a high-pressure mercury lamp (80 mW / cm 2 , 1300mJ / cm 2 ) to prepare a pre-laminate (light release treated polyester film / cured product layer / heavy release treated polyester film). Note that for the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of Example 4, the irradiation conditions were 1300 mJ / cm 2 to 2600mJ / cm 2 I changed it to. A test piece of 1 cm x 1 cm was cut from the pre-laminate, and then the light release treated polyester film and the heavy release treated polyester film were peeled off to obtain a layer of the cured product.

[0102] <Storage modulus> Twenty layers of the cured product were stacked to form a 1 mm thick pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the dynamic viscoelasticity was measured under the following conditions using a commercially available measuring device (trade name: "MCR302", manufactured by Anton Paar). From the measurement results, the storage modulus G' (unit: kPa) at -20°C and 25°C was calculated.

[0103] (Measurement conditions) Deformation mode: Torsion Measurement frequency: 1Hz Distortion: 0.01~1% AUTO setting Heating rate: 3°C / min Measurement temperature: -80~100℃ Shape: Parallel plate 8.0mmφ

[0104] <Distortion recovery> Twenty layers of the cured product were stacked to form a 1 mm thick adhesive sheet, and a commercially available measuring instrument (trade name: "MCR302e", manufactured by Anton Paar) was used to apply a pressure of 20 kPa to the adhesive sheet layer at a temperature of 25°C for 10 minutes (deformation mode: torsion, shape: parallel plate 8.0 mmφ), and the maximum strain amount (unit: %) of the adhesive sheet was read. Next, the pressure was removed and the adhesive sheet was allowed to stand for 10 minutes, and the strain amount (unit: %) of the adhesive sheet was read. Each strain amount was substituted into Equation 1 to determine the strain recovery. A larger value indicates better strain recovery.

[0105] (Equation 1) Strain recovery (%) = {(BA) / A} × 100 (A: Maximum distortion after applying pressure for 10 minutes, B: Distortion after removing pressure and leaving it for 10 minutes)

[0106] <Preparation of laminate> The light release treated polyester film was peeled off from the pre-laminate obtained in the same manner as in the previous paragraph, and in its place a 50 μm thick polyester film (product name: "Cosmoshine A-4300", manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was attached with a 2 kg roller and left for 2 hours. Next, a 2.5 cm × 8 cm test piece was cut from this, and the heavy release treated polyester film was peeled off to obtain a single-sided PSA sheet (Cosmoshine A-4300 / cured product). The mixture was attached to a glass plate with a 2 kg roller and left to stand for 24 hours under conditions of a temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 50% to produce a laminate (Cosmoshine A-4300 / cured product layer / glass).

[0107] <Adhesive strength> The adhesive strength (N / 25 mm) of the cured product was measured by peeling the glass plate from the laminate in a 180° direction at a rate of 300 mm / min using a commercially available testing machine (Tensilon universal material testing machine, manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd.). An adhesive strength of 4.0 N / 25 mm or more indicates good adhesive strength, and the larger the value, the better the adhesive strength.

[0108] <Transparency> The light release treated polyester film was peeled off from the pre-laminate and attached to a glass plate with a rubber roller to produce a laminate (heavy release treated polyester film / cured product layer / glass). Next, the heavy release treated polyester film was peeled off, and the color difference (b * ) was measured. A color difference of less than 0.30 indicates good transparency, and the smaller the value, the better the transparency. The obtained color difference value includes the value of the substrate (glass plate).

[0109] <Moisture and heat resistance> The light-release treated polyester film was peeled off from the pre-laminate, and a 50 μm-thick polyester film (trade name: "Lumirror 50T60", manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc.) was instead bonded with a rubber roller. After leaving for 2 hours, an 8 cm x 8 cm test piece was cut out, and the heavy-release treated polyester film was peeled off to obtain a single-sided PSA sheet (Lumirror 50T60 / cured product). The laminate was then bonded to a glass plate with a rubber roller and subjected to a heat press (pressure: 0.5 MPa, temperature: 40°C) for 30 minutes to produce a laminate (Lumirror 50T60 / cured product layer / glass). The initial color difference (b * Thereafter, the laminate was placed in a thermo-hygrostat at a temperature of 85°C and a humidity of 85%, and the color difference after 36 hours was measured in the same manner. The change in color from the initial value (Δb * The change range (△b * ) is less than 0.15, the moist heat resistance is good, and the smaller the value, the better. Note that all obtained color difference values ​​include the value of the substrate (Lumirror 50T60, glass plate).
