[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a laminated film according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a laminated film according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings are schematic diagrams and do not correspond to actual dimensional proportions. In this specification, "A to B" indicating a numerical range means A or more and B or less unless otherwise specified. In this specification, when comparing laminate films that have the same configuration except for the undercoat layer, if the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property is improved, it is determined that the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property has been improved.
[0012] (Laminated film) 1 and 2 are cross-sectional views schematically illustrating an example of a laminate film according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the laminate film 100 of the present embodiment includes a substrate layer 10 containing an ethylene polymer (A), an undercoat layer 30, and an inorganic layer 50 containing an inorganic material (B), in this order. In the infrared absorption spectrum of the undercoat layer 30, the laminate film 100 has an absorption band of 3000 cm -1 More than 3600cm -1 The maximum peak height in the following range is P1, and the absorption band is 1500 cm -1 over 1900cm -1 When the maximum peak height in the following range is P2, the peak height ratio P2 / P1 is 0.065 or more.
[0013] The present inventors have found that in a laminate film 100 comprising, in this order, a base layer 10 containing an ethylene polymer (A), an undercoat layer 30, and an inorganic layer 50 containing an inorganic material (B), there is a correlation between the peak height ratio P2 / P1 in the infrared absorption spectrum of the undercoat layer 30 and the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property of the laminate film 100. As a result of further intensive studies based on the above findings, the present inventors have found that the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property of the laminate film 100 can be improved by setting the peak height ratio P2 / P1 within the above range, and have thus completed the present invention.
[0014] The peak height ratio P2 / P1 is 0.065 or more, preferably 0.100 or more, more preferably 0.200 or more, even more preferably 0.500 or more, even more preferably 1.000 or more, even more preferably 2.000 or more, even more preferably 2.300 or more, even more preferably 3.000 or more, even more preferably 4.000 or more, and even more preferably 4.500 or more. By setting the peak height ratio P2 / P1 within the above range, the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property of the laminated film 100 can be further improved. The upper limit of the peak height ratio P2 / P1 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 10,000 or less, 1,000 or less, 100 or less, 80 or less, or 70 or less. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property of the laminated film 100, the peak height ratio P2 / P1 is preferably 0.065 or more and 10,000 or less, more preferably 0.100 or more and 1,000 or less, even more preferably 0.200 or more and 100 or less, even more preferably 0.500 or more and 100 or less, even more preferably 1.000 or more and 100 or less, even more preferably 2.000 or more and 80 or less, even more preferably 2.300 or more and 80 or less, even more preferably 3.000 or more and 70 or less, even more preferably 4.000 or more and 70 or less, and even more preferably 4.500 or more and 70 or less.
[0015] The mechanism by which the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property of the laminated film 100 can be improved by setting the peak height ratio P2 / P1 in the above range is not entirely clear, but based on the studies of the present inventors, it is presumed to be as follows: In the infrared absorption spectrum of the undercoat layer 30, the absorption band at 3000 cm -1 More than 3600cm -1 The peaks seen below are thought to be due to OH stretching vibration or NH stretching vibration. Also, the absorption band at 1500 cm -1 over 1900cm -1 The peaks seen below are thought to be due to C=O stretching vibration.
[0016] That is, in the infrared absorption spectrum of the undercoat layer 30, the absorption band at 3000 cm -1 More than 3600cm -1 The maximum peak height P1 in the following range is thought to represent an indicator of the amount of functional groups with OH stretching vibration or NH stretching vibration absorption. -1 over 1900cm -1 The maximum peak height P2 in the following range is considered to represent an index of the amount of functional groups present that have absorption due to C=O stretching vibration. Therefore, it can be evaluated that the larger the peak height ratio P2 / P1, the smaller the amount of functional groups present in the undercoat layer 30 that have absorption due to OH stretching vibration or NH stretching vibration. It can also be evaluated that the smaller the peak height ratio P2 / P1, the larger the amount of functional groups present in the undercoat layer 30 that have absorption due to OH stretching vibration or NH stretching vibration.
[0017] From the viewpoint of improving the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property of the laminate film 100, it is considered preferable that the amount of functional groups with absorption of OH stretching vibration or NH stretching vibration, which easily absorb moisture from the atmosphere, present in the undercoat layer 30 is relatively small. This is because it is thought that if the undercoat layer 30 absorbs moisture, swelling of the undercoat layer 30 will occur, deteriorating the barrier property. If the peak height ratio P2 / P1 is within the above range, it can be evaluated that the amount of functional groups with absorption of OH stretching vibration or NH stretching vibration present in the undercoat layer 30 is a predetermined value or less, and it is therefore considered possible to improve the performance balance between the water vapor barrier property and the oxygen barrier property of the laminate film 100.
[0018] In this embodiment, the peak height ratio P2 / P1 can be controlled by appropriately selecting the type and amount of resin contained in the undercoat layer 30, the method for preparing the resin composition, etc. For example, the peak height ratio P2 / P1 can be increased by increasing the content of poly(meth)acrylic resin having an ester bond in the repeating unit.
[0019] In this embodiment, the maximum peak heights P1 and P2 are measured in the following manner. First, the infrared absorption spectrum of the surface of the undercoat layer 30 is measured by infrared total reflection measurement (ATR method). The measurement is performed at room temperature (25°C), with a Ge prism (incident angle 45 degrees) and a measurement wavelength of 4000 cm -1 ~600cm -1 , resolution 4.0cm -1 The number of times of accumulation is 100. Then, in the obtained infrared absorption spectrum, -1 Measurement points at 3000cm -1 The measurement points at 3000 cm and 3000 cm are connected by a straight line (baseline), and the difference spectrum between the obtained infrared absorption spectrum and the baseline is obtained, and this spectrum is designated as spectrum S1. -1 More than 3600cm -1 The maximum peak height in the following range is defined as P1. Similarly, in the obtained infrared absorption spectrum, -1 Measurement points at 1500cm -1 The measurement points at 1500 cm and 1500 cm are connected by a straight line (baseline), and the difference spectrum between the obtained infrared absorption spectrum and the baseline is obtained, and this spectrum is designated as spectrum S2. -1 over 1900cm -1 The maximum peak height in the following range is defined as P2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the moisture permeability and oxygen permeability of the multilayer film are measured by the following method. An adhesive is applied to one side of a 50 μm thick LLDPE film, and then the laminated film 100 and the LLDPE film are laminated together so that the surface of the laminated film 100 facing the inorganic layer 50 comes into contact with the adhesive-coated surface of the LLDPE film, thereby obtaining a multilayer film. Next, the obtained multilayer film is folded back so that the LLDPE film is on the inside, and the two sides are heat-sealed to form a bag. Calcium chloride is then placed in the resulting bag. The other side of the bag is then heat-sealed to form a bag with a surface area of 0.01 m. 2 The resulting bag is then stored at 40°C and 90% RH for 300 hours. The weight of the calcium chloride is measured before and after storage, and the moisture permeability is calculated from the difference. The oxygen permeability (mL / (m 2 ·day·MPa)) is measured in accordance with JIS K7126:2006 under conditions of 20°C and 90% RH.
[0066] (Laminated film manufacturing method) The laminated film 100 can be obtained, for example, by the following method. First, an ethylene-based resin composition containing an ethylene-based polymer (A) is extruded into a film, and then stretched to obtain the base layer 10. When the base layer 10 contains multiple layers, the multiple layers are laminated together and then stretched. The molding apparatus and molding conditions are not particularly limited, and conventionally known molding apparatus and molding conditions can be used. Examples of molding apparatus that can be used include a T-die extruder, a multilayer T-die extruder, an inflation molding machine, and a multilayer inflation molding machine.

The MD stretch ratio is set to a range of 4.5 to 7 times, and the TD stretch ratio is set to a range of 9 to 11 times. Here, the stretching temperature must be set at three stages: preheating temperature (temperature at which the raw film is heated before stretching), stretching temperature (temperature at which stretching is performed), and heat setting temperature (temperature at which heat setting (annealing) is performed after stretching). The temperatures from preheating to heat setting can be within the above range. In other words, the temperatures from the preheating stage onward can be set to approximately the same as those for stretching and heat setting.
[0067] Next, the undercoat layer 30 is formed on the base material layer 10. The method for forming the undercoat layer 30 is not particularly limited, but for example, the undercoat layer 30 can be formed by applying a resin composition for forming the undercoat layer 30 to the surface of the base material layer 10 and then polymerizing the composition by ultraviolet irradiation, heating, or the like. In particular, when the undercoat layer 30 contains a cured product of a mixture containing a polycarboxylic acid, a polyamine, and a polyvalent metal compound, the undercoat layer 30 can be formed, for example, by the following method. First, a volatile base is added to a polycarboxylic acid to completely or partially neutralize the carboxyl groups of the polycarboxylic acid. A polyvalent metal salt compound and a carbonate-based ammonium salt are then mixed to form metal salts on all or part of the carboxyl groups of the polycarboxylic acid neutralized with the volatile base and on the carboxyl groups of the polycarboxylic acid not neutralized with the volatile base. A polyamine compound is then added to obtain a coating material. The coating material is then applied to the surface of a substrate layer and dried and cured to form an undercoat layer 30.
[0068] Next, the inorganic layer 50 is formed on the undercoat layer 30. The method for forming the inorganic layer 50 is not particularly limited, and it can be formed by, for example, a vacuum process such as a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, or a plasma vapor deposition method (CVD method), or a sol-gel process.

[0082] (3) Formation of inorganic layer Aluminum was evaporated onto the undercoat layer formed in (1) above by using a resistance heating method, forming a 40 nm thick aluminum film as an inorganic layer, and obtaining a laminated film.
[0083] (4) Moisture permeability An adhesive (12 parts by mass of a polyester adhesive (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takelac A-310), 1 part by mass of an isocyanate curing agent (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takenate A-3), and 7 parts by mass of ethyl acetate) was applied to one side of a 50 μm-thick unstretched LLDPE film (manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Inc., product name: TUXMCS). After drying, the laminate film and the LLDPE film were laminated (dry laminated) so that the inorganic layer side of the laminate film was in contact with the adhesive-coated surface of the LLDPE film, yielding a multilayer film. The resulting multilayer film was then folded over so that the LLDPE film was on the inside, and the two sides were heat-sealed to form a bag. Calcium chloride was then placed inside the resulting bag. The other side of the bag was then heat-sealed to form a bag with a surface area of 0.01 m. 2The bags were then stored at 40°C and 90% RH for 300 hours. The weight of the calcium chloride was measured before and after storage, and the moisture permeability was calculated from the difference.
[0084] (5) Oxygen permeability In the same manner as in the measurement of moisture permeability, the laminated film and the LLDPE film were laminated (dry laminated) to obtain a multilayer film.

Next, zinc oxide and ammonium carbonate were added to the resulting aqueous ammonium polyacrylate solution, and the mixture was stirred to obtain a mixed solution (1-A). The amount of zinc oxide added was such that the ratio (moles of zinc oxide in coating material A) / (moles of -COO- groups in polyacrylic acid in coating material A) was 0.475. The amount of ammonium carbonate added was such that the ratio (moles of ammonium carbonate in coating material A) / (moles of zinc oxide in coating material A) was 1.5. Next, polyethyleneimine (number average molecular weight: 10,000) was added to purified water to obtain a 10% by mass aqueous polyethyleneimine solution. Next, purified water was added to low-polymerized ammonium polyphosphate (manufactured by Amada Co., Ltd., product number: water-soluble ammonium polyphosphate flame retardant NNA20, P2O5 content 59%) to obtain a 25% by mass aqueous solution of low-polymerized ammonium polyphosphate. Next, the mixed solution (1-A), the polyethyleneimine aqueous solution, and the low-polymerized ammonium polyphosphate aqueous solution as a phosphorus introduction source were mixed in a ratio such that (the number of moles of amino groups contained in polyethyleneimine in coating material A) / (the number of moles of -COO- groups contained in polyacrylic acid in coating material A) was 0.55, and (the number of moles of P contained in polyphosphate compound or its salt in coating material A) / (the number of moles of -COO- groups contained in polyacrylic acid in coating material A) was 0.025, to obtain mixed solution (2-A). Furthermore, purified water was added to the above mixed solution (2-A) so that the solids concentration was 1.5% by mass, and after stirring until a uniform solution was obtained, a surfactant (polyoxyethylene lauryl ether) was added to the mixed solution (2-A) so that the solids concentration was 0.3% by mass, to prepare coating material A. Coating material A was applied to the corona-treated surface of MDOPE with a Mayer bar and dried to form an undercoat layer with a thickness of 0.1 μm after drying.

Note that infrared spectroscopy measurement was performed on the corona-treated surface before aluminum was vapor-deposited.
[0091] Examples 6 to 9 Laminated films were obtained in the same manner as in Examples 1, 2, 4, and 5, except that HDBOPE was used instead of MDOPE as the base layer.
