Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, a laminate, and a device with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. [Background technology]

[0002] Because adhesive sheets having an adhesive layer formed from an adhesive are easy to handle, they are used in a wide range of fields, including label applications and medical applications. Furthermore, adhesive layers are used to bond components together to secure various devices, such as personal computers, mobile phones, and home appliances. Adhesive sheets used to secure devices require a minimum level of adhesive strength to prevent peeling during long-term use, as well as heat resistance to withstand high temperatures. Furthermore, when adhesive sheets are bonded to metal substrates, corrosion of the substrate due to components contained in the adhesive can cause product degradation, so adhesives with corrosion resistance are required.

[0003] On the other hand, for convenient coating during the production of adhesive sheets, adhesives are generally diluted and adjusted to low viscosity before use. Regarding the solvent used for viscosity adjustment, it is desirable to reduce the content as much as possible from the viewpoint of cost and handling. Furthermore, if the solid content of the adjusted solution is low, it tends to be difficult to apply the adhesive thickly and uniformly, so there is a demand for low-viscosity adhesives that can be made with a higher solid content.

[0004] The adhesives described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are adjusted to a solids content of about 35%. The inventors' investigations revealed that with the adhesives described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, if the solids content was adjusted to 35% or more, the viscosity would become too high, making coating difficult, and therefore it was not possible to increase the solids content. As a result, the high cost of the solvent used and the difficulty of applying a thick layer of adhesive have become major issues.

[0005] Furthermore, as electronic devices become smaller and more highly integrated depending on the product, there is a demand for suppressing the penetration of electromagnetic waves into the interior. For example, the adhesive tape described in Patent Document 3 had insufficient electromagnetic wave shielding performance. In order to improve the electromagnetic wave shielding effect, it is necessary to make the adhesive conductive, and one effective method for improving conductivity is to increase the dielectric constant of the adhesive.

[0006] In addition to the above-mentioned increasing performance requirements, the depletion of petroleum resources and carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of petroleum-derived products are becoming issues in the industries in which PSA sheets are used. Therefore, attempts are being made to conserve petroleum resources by using bio-derived materials instead of petroleum-derived materials in a variety of industries, starting with the packaging materials field, as well as in the optical and semiconductor fields. One method for increasing the proportion of biologically derived materials in adhesives whose main component is an acrylic polymer is to obtain an acrylic polymer by copolymerizing a monomer mixture containing a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomer obtained by esterifying a linear alkyl alcohol produced by living organisms with (meth)acrylic acid. Furthermore, there are also tackifying resins made from naturally occurring ingredients, and by selectively using these, it is possible to achieve environmentally friendly products. Increasing the proportion of environmentally friendly materials can contribute to the conservation of petroleum resources, but the current situation is that only limited environmentally friendly materials are used, and there are challenges to putting this into practical use.

[0015] <Adhesive> The pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention comprises a resin (A).

[0016] <Resin (A)> Resin (A) is a copolymer of a monomer mixture, In 100% by mass of the monomer mixture, 2-octyl (meth)acrylate in an amount of 30% by mass or more and less than 99.5% by mass, A monomer having a hydroxy group is 0.1% by mass or more and less than 40% by mass, and 0.1% by mass or more and 55% by mass or less of other monomers other than 2-octyl (meth)acrylate, monomers having a hydroxy group, and monomers having a carboxy group (excluding isobornyl (meth)acrylate and acrylic monomers having an amide group), The adhesive is characterized in that the content of the monomer having a carboxy group in 100% by mass of the monomer mixture is less than 0.5% by mass.

[0017] [2-Octyl (meth)acrylate] 2-octyl(meth)acrylate is a biomass monomer represented by the following formula (1). (Formula 1) JPEG2025170162000002.jpg54142(R1=H, CH3) The content of 2-octyl (meth)acrylate is 30% by mass or more and less than 99.5% by mass in 100% by mass of the monomer mixture. A content of less than 0% by mass is undesirable because the viscosity of the adhesive increases or the adhesive strength decreases. The lower limit of the 2-octyl (meth)acrylate content is 30% by mass or more to obtain the desired effect, but is preferably 50% by mass or more, and more preferably 70% by mass or more. A higher 2-octyl (meth)acrylate content is preferable because it contributes to saving petroleum resources, but in relation to the content of the hydroxyl group-containing monomer, a content of less than 90% by mass is preferable, and more preferably less than 80% by mass.

[0018] [Monomers with hydroxy groups] The monomer having a hydroxy group is not limited as long as it is a monomer having a hydroxy group in the molecule, and specific examples include 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide. Of these, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide are preferred from the viewpoint of adhesive strength and heat resistance.

[0019] The content of the monomer having a hydroxy group is 0.1% by mass or more and less than 40% by mass based on 100% by mass of the monomer mixture. It is preferably 10% by mass or more and less than 40% by mass, and more preferably 20% by mass or more and less than 40% by mass. By ensuring that the content of the monomer having a hydroxy group is 0.1% by mass or more, it is possible to promote curing and prevent whitening under moist heat. Furthermore, by keeping the hydroxy group content below 40% by mass, it is possible to suppress an increase in the viscosity of the solution.

[0020] [Monomers with carboxy groups] The monomer having a carboxy group is not limited as long as it has a carboxy group in the molecule, and specific examples include (meth)acrylic acid, p-carboxybenzyl acrylate, β-carboxyethyl acrylate, maleic acid, monoethyl maleic acid, itaconic acid, citraconic acid, and fumaric acid. Of these, (meth)acrylic acid is preferred from the viewpoint of adhesive strength, and acrylic acid is more preferred.

[0021] The monomer having a carboxy group may or may not be contained, but if it is contained, the content of the monomer having a carboxy group in 100% by mass of the monomer mixture is less than 0.5% by mass in order to prevent corrosion of the adherend by acid. By including a monomer having a carboxy group, the cohesive strength of the adhesive layer is increased, and the adhesive strength and heat resistance are likely to be improved.

[0022] [Other monomers] The other monomer is not particularly limited as long as it is a monomer other than 2-octyl(meth)acrylate, a monomer having a hydroxy group, and a monomer having a carboxy group (however, excluding isobornyl(meth)acrylate and an acrylic monomer having an amide group).

In terms of improving cohesive strength and adhesive strength, the high Tg monomer is preferably selected from the group consisting of methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, isobornyl (meth)acrylate, cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, benzyl (meth)acrylate, phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, phenyl (meth)acrylate, 4-acryloylmorpholine, and vinyl acetate.

[0024] The content of the other monomer is 0.1% by mass or more and 55% by mass or less, based on 100% by mass of the monomer mixture. By setting the content to 55% by mass or less, it is possible to suppress an increase in viscosity of the adhesive. In terms of suppressing an increase in viscosity, the content is preferably 40% by mass or less, and more preferably 20% by mass or less. By setting the content to 0.1% by mass or more, it is possible to impart performance specific to that monomer. For example, a high Tg monomer can impart cohesive strength, and a biomass monomer can improve the overall biomass content. The content is preferably 1% by mass or more, and more preferably 5% by mass or more.

The method for preparing the solids content and the method for measuring the viscosity are described in detail in the Examples.

[0057] <Adhesive layer> The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a layer obtained from the pressure-sensitive adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention. The method for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and may be the same as the coating method described below in the description of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

[0058] The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention preferably has a dielectric constant of 0.5 or more, more preferably 2.0 or more, at 20 GHz. When the dielectric constant at 20 GHz is in this range, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be made conductive, thereby enhancing the electromagnetic wave shielding effect. The unit of dielectric constant is (F / m). To achieve a dielectric constant within this range, the polarity of the adhesive must be increased, either by using a compound that is inherently highly polar or by reducing the number of carbon atoms contained in the compound. The measurement method will be described in detail in the Examples.

[0059] The adhesive sheet of the present invention preferably has a higher SUS adhesive strength for the purpose of product fixation, etc. Although a lower adhesive strength may be used depending on the product, for versatile use, a peel strength of 3 N / 25 mm or more is preferred. The measurement method will be described in detail in the Examples.

[0060] <Adhesive sheet> The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer made of the pressure-sensitive adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention and a release film.

[0061] The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention may have a structure in which a release film is formed on one or both sides of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0062] <Release film> The release film is not particularly limited, but a transparent plastic substrate can be suitably used. Examples of materials for the transparent plastic substrate include polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylic resins such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and plastic materials such as polycarbonate, triacetyl cellulose, polysulfone, polyarylate, and polycycloolefin. The plastic materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0063] Among the transparent plastic substrates described above, a transparent plastic substrate having excellent heat resistance, i.e., a transparent plastic substrate that is suppressed or prevented from deforming under severe conditions such as high temperature, high temperature and high humidity, etc. PET films or sheets are particularly suitable as the transparent plastic substrate.

[0064] The thickness of the release film is preferably less than 200 μm. The thickness should be adjusted depending on the handling of the member to be used, but by being less than 200 μm, the material itself is not too stiff, making it easy to wind into a roll and allowing for comfortable use when laminating sheets or the like.

[0065] The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has excellent heat resistance and a high dielectric constant, and is therefore suitable for use in personal computers, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. It can be used for fixing the exterior or interior of various devices such as home appliances, etc. It can also be used to fix, without particular limitation, different materials from devices, such as polyolefins including polyethylene and polypropylene, resins such as polycarbonate and phenol, metals such as iron, stainless steel (SUS), aluminum and copper, cement, mortar, glass, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, paper, rubber, foam sheets, etc.

[0066] When applying the adhesive or adhesive composition, the viscosity can be adjusted by adding an appropriate liquid medium. Specific examples include hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene, xylene, hexane, and heptane; ester solvents such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; ketone solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as dichloromethane and chloroform; ether solvents such as diethyl ether, methoxytoluene, and dioxane, and other hydrocarbon solvents. However, water and alcohol must be used carefully because they may inhibit the reaction between the resin (A) and the isocyanate curing agent. be.

[0067] The coating method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include various coating methods using a Mayer bar, applicator, brush, spray, roller, gravure coater, die coater, lip coater, comma coater, knife coater, reverse coater, spin coater, etc. The drying and curing method is also not particularly limited, and examples thereof include hot air drying, infrared rays, reduced pressure methods, and methods using active energy rays, but hot air or steam heating at 60 to 180°C is preferred from the viewpoint of outgassing resistance.

[0068] The thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably 2 to 1000 μm, more preferably 5 to 500 μm. The adhesive layer may be in the form of a single layer or a laminate of two or more layers.

[0069] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention includes a substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed using the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention. Specifically, for example, the release film is peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is attached to the substrate to form the laminate.

[0070] <Base material> The substrate refers to the other party to which the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet having an adhesive layer is attached, and is not limited to a specific one. Examples include polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, resins such as polycarbonate and phenol, metals such as iron, stainless steel (SUS), aluminum and copper, cement, mortar, glass, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, paper, rubber, foam sheets, and laminates thereof. The adhesive and adhesive composition of the present invention exhibit excellent adhesive strength to at least one type of adherend. The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited, and is, for example, preferably less than 500 μm, more preferably 10 to 200 μm, and even more preferably 25 to 150 μm.

[0071] An example of a schematic cross-sectional view partially showing the laminate of the present invention is shown in Figure 1. In Figure 1, 3 is a substrate, 1 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and 4 and 5 are devices.

[0072] In the laminate shown in FIG. 1, the substrate is attached to the device via an adhesive layer.

[0073] <Production of laminate> The laminate can be produced, for example, by peeling off one release film from a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having release films on both sides of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and attaching the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to a substrate. Alternatively, the laminate can be produced by directly forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a substrate, and then attaching a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the substrate or another pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0074] <Device with adhesive layer> The device with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it includes the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and device. The device with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be produced, for example, using the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet or laminate of the present invention. That is, it may have a configuration such as pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / device or substrate / pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / device. Alternatively, it may have a configuration such as device 1 / pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / device 2, in which different devices 1 and 2 are bonded together via a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0075] An example of a schematic cross-sectional view partially illustrating a device with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, which is an example of use of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, is shown in Figure 2. In Figure 2, 3 is a substrate, 1 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, 4 is device 1, and 5 is device 2. It should be noted that the configuration of the device with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not limited to that shown in Figure 2.

[0076] In the device with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer shown in Fig. 3, the substrate is attached to a release film via the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer). In this way, the device can be commercialized with the release film provided, or can be used in an intermediate process of commercialization.

[0077] There are no particular limitations on the uses of devices with adhesive layers, but examples include all kinds of home appliances such as personal computers, mobile phones, televisions, tablets, and smart watches.

[0078] In light of the recent trend toward environmentally friendly materials, the adhesive and adhesive composition of the present invention can be made partially or entirely from biologically derived materials by using a biomass monomer as the monomer constituting the resin (A) or by using a biomass tackifier. The biomass ratio is preferably 30% or more. The higher the biomass ratio, more preferably 39% or more, and even more preferably 60% or more, the greater the usefulness as an environmentally friendly material. The method for calculating the biomass ratio is described in the Examples. [Example]

[0079] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In the examples, unless otherwise specified, "parts" means "parts by mass" and "%" means "% by mass." The blending amounts in the tables are in parts by mass, and all amounts other than the solvent are calculated as non-volatile content. Blank spaces in the tables indicate that no blending was performed. It is common technical knowledge that the viscosity of a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition increases or decreases depending on the Mw of the resin (A) contained therein, and since the Mw of the resin (A) can be adjusted as appropriate, it is not realistic to confirm the effects of the present invention over the entire Mw range of the resin (A). Therefore, in the examples, resins (A) were produced and evaluated so that the Mw was 400,000 to 500,000, 700,000 to 900,000, or 1,900,000 to 2,000,000. The method for measuring the weight average molecular weight of the resin (A) is as follows.

[0080] <Measurement of weight average molecular weight (Mw) and Mw classification evaluation method> The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) was measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The instrument used was a GPC instrument manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation: an LC-GPC system "Prominence." The columns used were TSKgel α-M manufactured by Tosoh Corporation, with two columns connected in series. N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was used as the eluent, and measurements were carried out at 40°C. Mw was determined by conversion using polystyrene with a known Mw as the standard substance. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of resin (A) is measured, and the evaluation results are as follows: if it is 1.9 million to 2 million, the Mw classification is U; if it is 700,000 to 900,000, the Mw classification is H; and if it is 400,000 to 500,000, the Mw classification is L.

[0081] (Production of Resin (A)) Example 1: Preparation of (A-1) Using a reaction apparatus equipped with a stirrer, a reflux condenser, a nitrogen inlet tube, a thermometer, and a dropping tube, ethyl acetate was added to a reaction vessel as a polymerization solvent, and a monomer mixture of 19.75 parts of 2-octyl acrylate (2-OA), 7 parts of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and 0.25 parts of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (4HBA), 20 parts of methyl acrylate (MA), 3 parts of isobornyl acrylate (IBXA), and 0.04 parts of azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator was charged into the reaction vessel. A mixture of monomers (19.75 parts 2-octyl acrylate (2-OA), 7 parts 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), 0.25 parts 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (4HBA), 20 parts methyl acrylate (MA), and 3 parts isobornyl acrylate (IBXA), ethyl acetate as the polymerization solvent, and 0.02 parts azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator, was added dropwise from the dropping tube over approximately 2 hours and polymerized at approximately 80°C for 6 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled and diluted with ethyl acetate to obtain a resin solution. The resulting resin was designated (A-1). The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the resulting resin was measured, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0082] <Examples 2 to 19, Examples 53 to 60, Comparative Production Examples 1 to 5: Production of (A-2 to A-27, A'-1 to A'-5)> Resins (A-2 to A-27, A'-1 to A'-5) were produced in the same manner as in the production of the resin (Example 1), except that the compositions and blending amounts (parts by mass) were changed as shown in Tables 1 to 3. The Mw classification of the obtained resins is shown in Tables 1 and 2. Examples 5, 8, and 19 are reference examples.

The obtained adhesive composition was coated using a comma coater onto a 38 μm thick release liner (SP-PET-O1-BU: manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Tocello Inc.) as a release sheet so that the thickness after drying would be 25 μm. After drying at 110°C for 3 minutes, a 75 μm thick release liner (SP-PET-O3-B3: manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Tocello Inc.) as a release sheet was bonded to the adhesive layer and aged in this state at 23°C for 7 days to obtain an adhesive sheet.

The release liner on the other side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape was then peeled off to prepare a test specimen, whose weight was measured. The test specimen was immersed in ethyl acetate at 23°C for 24 hours, then removed from the ethyl acetate and dried at 150°C for 30 minutes. The weight of the dried test specimen was measured, and the gel fraction was calculated using the following formula (1). In Table 3, "40%<" means that the gel fraction is greater than 40%.
