DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0031] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, a numerical range indicated using "to" indicates a range that includes the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. "A or B" may include either A or B, or may include both. Unless otherwise specified, the materials exemplified in this embodiment can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0032] <Barrier material forming composition> The barrier material-forming composition of this embodiment contains a mixture of a hydrolysis polycondensate of a silane compound containing a silane oligomer and a silane monomer, a curing catalyst, and a polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane, in which the ratio of the polydimethylsiloxane moiety to the polyether moiety is adjusted to a predetermined range.

[0033] By applying such a composition to an object, a barrier material with excellent moisture resistance can be easily formed on the object, and the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane in the composition functions well as a leveling agent, smoothing the surface of the barrier material formed on the object. Therefore, the composition makes it possible to form a barrier material that allows the surface of the object to be clearly seen.

[0034] Furthermore, conventional siloxane-based barrier materials suffer from weight loss due to hydrolysis under high temperature and humidity conditions, which can result in poor long-term reliability. In contrast, the barrier material formed from the above composition is sufficiently inhibited from weight loss due to hydrolysis, even under high temperature and humidity conditions, and has excellent long-term reliability.

[0035] The ratio of polydimethylsiloxane moieties to polyether moieties can be determined, for example, by the ratio (N2 / N1) of the total number of carbon atoms bonded to oxygen atoms, N2, to the total number of carbon atoms bonded to silicon atoms, N1, in the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane. The ratio (N2 / N1) is, for example, 2 to 4, and preferably 2.2 to 3.8.

[0036] The ratio of the polydimethylsiloxane portion to the polyether portion is, for example, 13 Peak P in the C-NMR spectrum corresponds to the carbon atom bonded to the silicon atom C1 Peak area S C1 Peak P corresponding to the carbon atom bonded to the oxygen atom C2 Peak area S C2 The ratio (S C2 / S C1 ) may be specified by the ratio (S C2 / S C1 ) is, for example, 2 to 4, and preferably 2.2 to 3.8.

[0037] The ratio of the polydimethylsiloxane portion to the polyether portion is, for example, 1 In the H-NMR spectrum, the peak P corresponds to the hydrogen atom on the carbon atom bonded to the silicon atom. H1 Peak area S H1 Peak P corresponding to hydrogen atoms on carbon atoms bonded to oxygen atoms H2 Peak area S H2 The ratio (S H2 / S H1 ) may be specified by the ratio (S H2 / S H1 ) is, for example, 0.8 to 2.0, and preferably 1.0 to 1.8.

[0038] That is, the composition of the present embodiment may satisfy the following formula (1). 2 <N2 / N1<4 …(1)

[0039] Furthermore, the composition of the present embodiment may satisfy either the following formula (2) or formula (3), and preferably satisfies both: 2 C2 / S C1 <4 …(2) 0.8 H2 / S H1 <2.0 …(3)

[0040] In this specification, 13 The C-NMR spectrum is measured by the following method.

[0041] 13 In the C-NMR spectrum, peak P C1 The peak area S may be a peak having a chemical shift in the range of 5 ppm to −5 ppm (preferably 3 ppm to −3 ppm). C1 may be the total value of the peak areas of peaks with chemical shifts in the range of 5 ppm to −5 ppm (preferably 3 ppm to −3 ppm).

[0042] Also, 13 In the C-NMR spectrum, peak P C2 may be a peak having a chemical shift in the range of 47 ppm to 65 ppm (preferably 50 ppm to 65 ppm). That is, the peak area S C2 may be the total value of the peak areas of peaks with chemical shifts in the range of 47 ppm to 65 ppm (preferably 50 ppm to 65 ppm).​​

[0043] In this specification, 1 The H-NMR spectrum is measured by the following method. (solution 1 H-NMR measurement conditions) Device name: JEOL RESONANCE ECX400II Observed nucleus: 1H Observation frequency: 399.78MHz Measurement temperature: room temperature (23℃) Measurement solvent: CDCl3 Pulse width: 6.64 μsec (90°) Pulse repetition time: 5.0 seconds Number of times: 8 Sample concentration (sample / measurement solvent): 10 mg / 1.0 ml

[0044] 1 In the H-NMR spectrum, peak P H1 may be a peak having a chemical shift in the range of 0.5 ppm to −0.5 ppm (preferably 0.3 ppm to −0.3 ppm). That is, the peak area S H1 may be the total value of the peak areas of peaks with chemical shifts in the range of 0.5 ppm to −0.5 ppm (preferably 0.3 ppm to −0.3 ppm).

[0045] Also, 1 In the H-NMR spectrum, peak P H2 may be a peak having a chemical shift in the range of 4.5 ppm to 2.5 ppm (preferably 4 ppm to 2 ppm). That is, the peak area S H2 may be the total value of the peak areas of peaks with chemical shifts in the range of 4.5 ppm to 2.5 ppm (preferably 4 ppm to 2 ppm).

[0046] The barrier material-forming composition may be in a liquid or paste form, and is preferably in a liquid form from the viewpoint of easier application to an object.

[0047] A silane oligomer has a structure in which multiple silicon atoms are linked via oxygen atoms, and can also be called a polymer of silane monomers. In this specification, the term "silane oligomer" refers to a polymer having a molecular weight of 100,000 or less.

[0048] The silicon atoms contained in the silane oligomer can be classified into silicon atoms bonded to one oxygen atom (M unit), silicon atoms bonded to two oxygen atoms (D unit), silicon atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms (T unit), and silicon atoms bonded to four oxygen atoms (Q unit). Examples of M units, D units, T units, and Q units are represented by the following formulae (M), (D), (T), and (Q), respectively.

[0049] [ka]

[0050] In the above formula, R represents an atom (such as a hydrogen atom) or an atomic group (such as an alkyl group) other than an oxygen atom bonded to silicon. Information about the content of these units can be obtained by Si-NMR.

[0051] In the silane oligomer, the ratio of the total number of T units and Q units to the total number of silicon atoms may be, for example, 30% or more, preferably 50% or more, more preferably 70% or more, even more preferably 90% or more, or even 100%. Such a silane oligomer provides a barrier material with even better moisture resistance.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the silane oligomer preferably contains T units. The content of T units in the silane oligomer is, for example, 10% or more, preferably 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, or 90% or more, or even 100%, based on the total number of silicon atoms. Such a silane oligomer tends to further improve the flexibility of the barrier material.

[0053] In another preferred embodiment, the content of Q units in the silane oligomer is, for example, 50% or more, preferably 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more, and even more preferably 90% or more, relative to the total number of silicon atoms, and may be 100%. Such a silane oligomer tends to further improve the moisture resistance and transparency of the barrier material.

[0054] The silane oligomer preferably has an alkyl group or an aryl group as R in the above formulas (M), (D), (T) and (Q).

[0055] The alkyl group is preferably an alkyl group having 6 or less carbon atoms, more preferably an alkyl group having 4 or less carbon atoms. Specific examples of the alkyl group include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, and a butyl group, and of these, a methyl group, an ethoxy group, and a propyl group are preferred, and a methyl group is more preferred.

[0056] Examples of the aryl group include a phenyl group and a substituted phenyl group. Examples of the substituent of the substituted phenyl group include an alkyl group, a vinyl group, a mercapto group, an amino group, a nitro group, a cyano group, etc. The aryl group is preferably a phenyl group.

[0057] The weight-average molecular weight of the silane oligomer may be, for example, 400 or more, preferably 600 or more, and more preferably 1,000 or more. The weight-average molecular weight of the silane oligomer may be, for example, 30,000 or less, preferably 10,000 or less, and more preferably 6,000 or less. A higher weight-average molecular weight of the silane oligomer tends to improve flexibility, while a lower weight-average molecular weight tends to improve moisture resistance and transparency. In this specification, the weight-average molecular weight of the silane oligomer refers to the weight-average molecular weight expressed in terms of polystyrene measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

[0058] The content of the silane oligomer in the silane compound may be, for example, 30% by mass or more, preferably 40% by mass or more, more preferably 45% by mass or more, and even more preferably 50% by mass or more, based on the total amount of the silane compound. This more significantly enhances the effects of the invention described above. Furthermore, the content of the silane oligomer in the silane compound may be, for example, 95% by mass or less, 90% by mass or less, 85% by mass or less, or 80% by mass or less, based on the total amount of the silane compound.

[0059] In this embodiment, the silane compound contains a silane monomer. By incorporating the silane monomer, for example, the contents of T units and Q units in the barrier material can be easily adjusted, and effects such as transparency and flexibility can be imparted to the barrier material depending on the application. Furthermore, by incorporating the silane monomer, a barrier material with even more excellent moisture resistance tends to be obtained.

[0060] The silane monomer may be, for example, at least one silane monomer (hereinafter also referred to as a first silane monomer) selected from the group consisting of alkyltrialkoxysilane, aryltrialkoxysilane, and tetraalkoxysilane.

[0061] By incorporating the first silane monomer, for example, it is possible to adjust the contents of T units and Q units in the barrier material, and to impart effects such as transparency and flexibility to the barrier material depending on the application. Furthermore, by incorporating the first silane monomer, a barrier material with even more excellent moisture resistance tends to be obtained.

[0062] When the silane compound contains a first silane monomer, the content of the first silane monomer in the silane compound is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 5 parts by mass or more, preferably 8 parts by mass or more, and more preferably 10 parts by mass or more, relative to 100 parts by mass of the silane oligomer. This tends to further improve the flexibility of the cured product. Furthermore, the content of the first silane monomer may be, for example, 40 parts by mass or less, preferably 35 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 30 parts by mass or less. This tends to reduce the volatility of the coating liquid and further improve workability.

[0063] Alkyltrialkoxysilane is a silane compound in which one alkyl group and three alkoxy groups are bonded to a silicon atom.

[0064] The alkyl group of the alkyltrialkoxysilane is preferably an alkyl group having 6 or less carbon atoms, and more preferably an alkyl group having 4 or less carbon atoms. Specific examples of the alkyl group include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, and a butyl group. Of these, a methyl group, an ethyl group, and a propyl group are preferred, and a methyl group is more preferred. Furthermore, the alkoxy group of the alkyltrialkoxysilane is preferably an alkoxy group having 6 or less carbon atoms, and more preferably an alkoxy group having 4 or less carbon atoms. Specific examples of the alkoxy group include a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, a propoxy group, and a butoxy group. Of these, a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, and a propoxy group are preferred, and a methoxy group and an ethoxy group are more preferred.

[0065] Aryltrialkoxysilanes are silane compounds in which one aryl group and three alkoxy groups are bonded to a silicon atom.

[0066] Examples of the aryl group of the aryltrialkoxysilane include a phenyl group and a substituted phenyl group. Examples of the substituent of the substituted phenyl group include an alkyl group, a vinyl group, a mercapto group, an amino group, a nitro group, and a cyano group. The aryl group is preferably a phenyl group. The alkoxy group of the aryltrialkoxysilane is preferably an alkoxy group having 6 or less carbon atoms, more preferably an alkoxy group having 4 or less carbon atoms. Specific examples of the alkoxy group include a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, a propoxy group, and a butoxy group. Of these, a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, and a propoxy group are preferred, and a methoxy group and an ethoxy group are more preferred.

[0067] Tetraalkoxysilane is a silane compound in which four alkoxy groups are bonded to a silicon atom.

[0068] The alkoxy group of the tetraalkoxysilane is preferably an alkoxy group having 6 or less carbon atoms, and more preferably an alkoxy group having 4 or less carbon atoms. Specific examples of the alkoxy group include a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, a propoxy group, and a butoxy group. Of these, a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, and a propoxy group are preferred, and a methoxy group and an ethoxy group are more preferred.

[0069] Specific examples of the first silane monomer include methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, ethyltrimethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane, phenyltrimethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetrapropoxysilane, and tetrabutoxysilane.

[0070] Examples of the silane monomer include a silane monomer having at least one reactive functional group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, an epoxy group, a glycidyl group, a (meth)acryloyl group, an amino group, an isocyanate group, an isocyanurate group, and a mercapto group (hereinafter also referred to as a second silane monomer). When the composition contains such a silane monomer, a barrier material with even better conformability and adhesion to the target object tends to be formed.

[0071] Although the reason why the second silane monomer exhibits the above-mentioned effects is not entirely clear, it is believed that during the formation of the barrier material, crosslinked structures other than siloxane bonds are formed by reactions between reactive functional groups, or between reactive functional groups and silanol groups, etc., which results in excellent moisture resistance and flexibility. It is also believed that during the formation of the barrier material, the reactive functional groups of the second silane monomer bond with functional groups present on the surface of the object, thereby achieving even better moisture resistance and flexibility.

[0072] From the viewpoint of further improving the flexibility of the barrier material and the adhesion to the member, the reactive functional group of the second silane monomer is preferably selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, an epoxy group (more preferably a glycidyl group), a (meth)acryloyl group, an amino group, an isocyanate group, an isocyanurate group and a mercapto group, and an amino group is more preferred.

[0084] R A2 is preferably an alkyl group.

[0085] When the silane compound contains a silane monomer, the content of the second silane monomer in the silane compound may be, for example, 0.01 parts by mass or more, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or more, and more preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, per 100 parts by mass of the silane oligomer. This tends to further improve conformability and adhesion. Furthermore, the content of the second silane monomer in the silane compound may be, for example, 5 parts by mass or less, preferably 4 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 2 parts by mass or less. This tends to further improve the thermal stability of the cured product.

The barrier material can be suitably used, for example, as a moisture-proof barrier material that is placed on a component before heating in a reflow furnace and then subjected to the reflow furnace together with the component.

[0183] (Comparative Example 2) As a polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane, N2 / N1 is 4.4, S C2 / S C1 is 4.4, S H2 / S H1 A polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (hereinafter also referred to as polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (X-2)) having a viscosity index of 1.9 was prepared. A barrier material-forming composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (S-1) was changed to the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (X-2).

[0184] (Evaluation method) The barrier material-forming compositions obtained in the examples and comparative examples were evaluated for moisture resistance (moisture absorption rate) and visibility by the following methods. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0185] <Moisture resistance (moisture absorption rate)> One side of a 0.4 mm thick copper-clad laminate MCL-E-700G (Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd., product name) was masked, and the copper foil on one side was removed by immersion in a copper etching solution to produce a 40 mm square base substrate. Next, a barrier material-forming composition was applied to the side of the base substrate from which the copper foil had been removed so that the thickness after drying would be 30 μm, and the composition was dried at 150°C for 1 hour using a safety oven (Espec Corporation, product name: SPHH-202). This formed a barrier material on the substrate, yielding an evaluation substrate with a barrier material. The evaluation substrate with the barrier material was dried at 150°C for 1 hour using a safety oven (manufactured by Espec Corporation, product name: SPHH-202) to obtain a measurement sample. The mass of the obtained measurement sample was measured to determine the initial mass m4. Next, a constant temperature and humidity chamber (manufactured by Kato Corporation, product name: SE-44CI-A) was used to treat the sample in an atmosphere of 85°C / 85% RH for 120 hours to obtain a sample after constant temperature and humidity treatment. The mass of the measurement sample after constant temperature and humidity treatment was measured to determine the mass after constant temperature and humidity treatment m5. The moisture absorption rate QB (%) was calculated from the initial mass m4 and the mass after constant temperature and humidity treatment m5 using the following formula. QB = 100 × (m5 - m4) / m4

[0186] <Visibility> The barrier material-forming composition was applied to a three-terminal regulator (SOT-89 NJM78L05UA, manufactured by New Japan Radio Co., Ltd.) so that the thickness after drying would be 30 μm, and then dried at 150°C for 1 hour using a safety oven (manufactured by Espec Corporation, product name: SPHH-202). Thereafter, a visual evaluation was performed to determine whether the label on the three-terminal regulator could be recognized.
