Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a curable resin composition, an adhesive, and a bonding method. [Background technology]
[0002] Curable resin compositions are used in a variety of applications. For example, in the manufacture of electronic devices such as camera modules, curable resin compositions may be used to bond multiple components together. Such curable resin compositions are typically applied by coating.
[0003] When applying a resin composition, stable and good application is required. In this regard, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-177843) discloses a dispenser device having a specific configuration that can perform stable and good application even when applying a high-viscosity, high-thixotropic paste. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-177843 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0005] In curable resin compositions used as adhesives and the like, it may be necessary to use high-viscosity curable resins or solid curable resins to impart properties such as toughness, high heat resistance, and high reliability.
[0006] However, when high-viscosity curable resins or solid curable resins are incorporated, the resin composition becomes viscous. As a result, the applicability may deteriorate. For example, when the resin composition is dispensed through a nozzle during application, stringing is more likely to occur. In other words, the string breakability deteriorates. As a result, the cycle time tends to increase. In addition, the resin composition is more likely to adhere to areas other than the target area. To improve thread breakability, the addition of inorganic fillers may be considered. However, in this case, adhesion to the bonding surface tends to decrease. In addition, thixotropy may decrease. That is, the shape stability (shape retention) of the resin composition after coating decreases, and the coated area tends to spread after application. Therefore, it was difficult to achieve a good balance of improving thread breakability, adhesion, and shape stability.
[0007] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a curable resin composition in which thread breakability, adhesion, and shape stability are improved in a well-balanced manner. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The curable resin composition according to the present embodiment contains (A) a curable resin, (B) calcium carbonate having a BET specific surface area of 5 m 2 / g or more, and (C) a curing agent. According to the present embodiment, since calcium carbonate having a BET specific surface area of 5 m 2 / g or more is blended, thread breakability, adhesion, and shape stability can be improved in a well-balanced manner.
[0011] Each component will be described in detail below.
[0012] (A) Curing resin The curable resin may be any resin having a function of curing by heat, ultraviolet rays, or the like, and is not particularly limited.
[0013] The content of the (A) curable resin in the curable resin composition is, for example, 5 to 80 parts by mass, preferably 20 to 80 parts by mass, more preferably 30 to 70 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the non-volatile components of the curable resin composition.
[0014] Examples of the curable resin include one or more selected from epoxy resins, compounds having a (meth)acryloyl group, silicone resins, phenol resins, melamine resins, and unsaturated polyester resins. Preferably, the curable resin contains an epoxy resin or a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group, and particularly preferably contains an epoxy resin.
[0015] Examples of epoxy resins include polyglycidyl ethers obtained by reacting polyhydric phenols such as bisphenol A, bisphenol F, bisphenol AD, catechol, and resorcinol, or polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin and polyethylene glycol with epichlorohydrin; glycidyl ether esters obtained by reacting hydroxycarboxylic acids such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid and β-hydroxynaphthoic acid with epichlorohydrin; polyglycidyl esters obtained by reacting polycarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid and terephthalic acid with epichlorohydrin; and further, epoxidized phenol novolac resins, epoxidized cresol novolac resins, epoxidized polyolefins, cyclic aliphatic epoxy resins, and other urethane-modified epoxy resins.
[0016] "(meth)acryloyl group" refers to either an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group, or both. Compounds having a (meth)acryloyl group include, for example, β-carboxyethyl (meth)acrylate, isobornyl (meth)acrylate, octyl / decyl (meth)acrylate, ethoxylated phenyl (meth)acrylate, EO-modified phenol (meth)acrylate, EO-modified o-phenylphenol (meth)acrylate, EO-modified paracumylphenol (meth)acrylate, EO-modified nonylphenol (meth)acrylate, PO-modified nonylphenol (meth)acrylate, N-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl hexahydrophthalimide, ω-carboxy-polycaprolactone mono(meth)acrylate, monohydroxyethyl phthalate (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl (meth)acrylate, dipropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, 1,6-Hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, tripropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, PO-modified neopentyl glycol di(meth)acrylate, tricyclodecanedimethanol di(meth)acrylate, EO-modified bisphenol F di(meth)acrylate, EO-modified bisphenol A di(meth)acrylate, EO-modified isocyanuric acid di(meth)acrylate, polypropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, neopentyl glycol hydroxypivalate di(meth)acrylate, polyurethane having (meth)acryloyl groups, polyester having (meth)acryloyl groups, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, PO-modified trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, EO-modified trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, EO-modified isocyanuric acid (tri)(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol Examples include (tri / tetra)(meth)acrylate, glycerin propoxytri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol ethoxytetra(meth)acrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol (penta / hexa)(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, EO-modified diglycerin tetra(meth)acrylate, and epoxy acrylate. Note that epoxy acrylate can also be considered epoxy resin.
[0017] Preferably, the curable resin includes at least one resin selected from high-viscosity curable resins and solid curable resins.
[0018] A "high-viscosity curable resin" is a resin whose viscosity, as measured by an E-type viscometer at 25°C and 1 rpm, is 100 Pa·s or higher. The viscosity of a high-viscosity curable resin (E-type viscometer, 25°C, 1 rpm) is preferably 100 to 2000 Pa·s, more preferably 120 to 1500 Pa·s. The "high viscosity curable resin" is preferably an epoxy resin. When the high viscosity curable resin is an epoxy resin, its epoxy equivalent is, for example, 50 to 700 g / eq, preferably 50 to 500 g / eq, more preferably 100 to 450 g / eq, and even more preferably 150 to 450 g / eq. Furthermore, epoxy equivalent refers to the mass of epoxy resin per epoxy group, and can be measured in accordance with JIS K 7236 (2009). Specific examples of such high-viscosity curable resins include, for example, "EXA-4816" (manufactured by DIC Corporation), "MX-135" (manufactured by Kaneka Corporation), and "EA-1010N" (manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.).
[0019] A "solid curing resin" is a resin that hardens to a solid state at 25°C. In a preferred embodiment, the curable resin includes a solid curable resin which is an epoxy resin. When the solid curable resin is an epoxy resin, the epoxy equivalent is, for example, 800 to 1200 g / eq, preferably 850 to 1100 g / eq, and more preferably 900 to 1000 g / eq. Specific examples of such solid curing resins include "1004AF" (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation).
[0020] The inclusion of a high-viscosity curable resin or a solid-curable resin can improve properties such as toughness, high heat resistance, and high reliability. On the other hand, the inclusion of such resins increases the viscosity of the resin composition, which generally worsens its ability to break threads. However, according to this embodiment, the problem of thread breakage is resolved by the use of calcium carbonate. Therefore, it is possible to realize a curable resin with excellent thread breakage properties while still containing a high-viscosity curable resin or a solid-curable resin. The total amount of high-viscosity curable resin and solid curable resin is, for example, 5 to 100 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of curable resin.
[0021] Furthermore, the curable resin may include a low-viscosity curable resin in addition to a high-viscosity curable resin and / or a solid-curable resin. A "low-viscosity curable resin" is a resin having a viscosity of less than 100 Pa·s (E-type viscometer, 25°C, 1 rpm). The viscosity of the "low-viscosity curable resin" (E-type viscometer, 25°C, 1 rpm) is preferably 1 to 50 Pa·s, more preferably 5 to 30 Pa·s. By using a low-viscosity curable resin, the viscosity of the curable resin composition can be adjusted to a desired viscosity. The content of the low-viscosity curable resin is, for example, 5 to 90 parts by mass, preferably 50 to 85 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the low-viscosity curable resin is an epoxy resin. In this case, the epoxy equivalent is, for example, 150 to 300 g / eq, preferably 170 to 250 g / eq. Specific examples of such low-viscosity curable resins include, for example, "YL-980" (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation).
[0023] (B) Calcium carbonate As mentioned above, calcium carbonate has a BET specific surface area of 5 m². 2 A material with a value of / g or higher is used. The BET specific surface area can be measured in accordance with the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS Z 8830 "Method for measuring the specific surface area of powders (solids) by gas adsorption". The BET specific surface area can be measured using an automatic specific surface area measuring device, for example, the "Macsorb HM-1210" manufactured by Mountec Co., Ltd. BET specific surface area 5m 2 By using calcium carbonate in amounts greater than / g, it is possible to improve thread breakability, shape stability, and adhesion in a well-balanced manner. Note: BET specific surface area 5m 2 If the amount is less than / g, it becomes difficult to achieve the desired shape stability, and adhesion also decreases. Furthermore, if other inorganic fillers such as silica are used instead of calcium carbonate, it is not possible to improve thread breakability, dimensional stability, and adhesion in a balanced manner.
[0024] The BET specific surface area of calcium carbonate should be 5 m 2 / g or more, preferably 6 m 2 / g or more, more preferably 7 m 2 / g or more, still more preferably 8 m 2 / g or more, particularly preferably 8 m 2 / g or more. Also, the BET specific surface area is preferably 50 m 2 / g or less, more preferably 40 m 2 / g or less, still more preferably 35 m 2 / g or less, particularly preferably 30 m 2 / g or less.
[0025] The content of calcium carbonate is, for example, 3 to 80 parts by mass, preferably 5 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 30 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the non-volatile components of the curable resin composition.
[0026] (C) Hardener The curing agent is a substance having a function of curing the curable resin by heat and / or ultraviolet irradiation, etc. The curing agent may be any substance having a function of curing the curable resin and is not particularly limited.
[0027] Preferably, a thiol compound having a mercapto group is used as the curing agent. More preferably, as the thiol compound, a polythiol compound having two or more mercapto groups in one molecule can be mentioned. That is, a polyfunctional thiol compound is preferably used. When a polyfunctional thiol compound is used, the curable resin composition can be rapidly cured at a low temperature. Also, since the polyfunctional thiol compound has a low viscosity, even when a high-viscosity resin is used, it is easy to lower the viscosity of the entire resin composition.
[0028] The number of mercapto groups in one molecule of the polythiol compound is preferably 2 to 6, more preferably 2 to 4, still more preferably 2 to 3.
[0029] Examples of polythiol compounds include partial esters of polyols and mercaptoorganic acids, and complete esters of polyols and mercaptoorganic acids.

The number of carbon atoms in the mercaptoaliphatic monocarboxylic acid is preferably 2 to 8, more preferably 2 to 6, even more preferably 2 to 4, and particularly preferably 3. Among mercapto organic acids, mercaptoaliphatic monocarboxylic acids having 2 to 8 carbon atoms are preferred, mercaptoacetic acid, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, 3-mercaptobutyric acid, and 4-mercaptobutyric acid are more preferred, and 3-mercaptopropionic acid is even more preferred.

[0034] The curing agent content is, for example, 5 to 80 parts by mass, preferably 10 to 50 parts by mass, and more preferably 15 to 40 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the nonvolatile components of the curable resin composition.

[0057] Examples of fillers include finely powdered silica. Using finely powdered silica in combination with calcium carbonate can sometimes help balance thixotropy and adhesion. Furthermore, when a solid dispersion type substance is used as a curing accelerator, finely powdered silica also functions as a precipitate inhibitor. A specific example of such finely powdered silica is "RY-300" manufactured by Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd.
[0058] Silane coupling agents can be used, for example, to improve adhesion and suppress the shedding of inorganic fillers.

[0067] The curable resin composition is preferably dispensed from a nozzle during application. For example, in a dispenser, it is filled into a syringe and dispensed to the required portion via a nozzle. When using the curable resin composition in this manner, it is important that it has good thread-breakability and dimensional stability. The curable resin composition according to this embodiment can achieve good thread-breakability without degrading adhesion and dimensional stability. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for applications where it is dispensed from a nozzle.
[0068] The method for producing the curable resin composition is not particularly limited and can be carried out according to known methods. That is, the curable resin, calcium carbonate, and curing agent can be mixed with other components as needed.
[0069] The curing of the curable resin composition is not particularly difficult and can be carried out according to conventionally known methods. For example, the curable resin composition can be cured by heating the applied material at a temperature above room temperature.

Calcium carbonate, silica, a preservative stabilizer, and a curing accelerator were added to this liquid mixture and mixed using a rotating / revolving mixer at 2000 rpm at room temperature (25°C) for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute. Finally, the mixture was degassed under vacuum (pressure set to 0) at 900 rpm for 2 minutes using a Kyoritsu Seiki Co., Ltd. automatic revolving stirring and degassing machine HM-200W to obtain the desired curable resin composition.

[0081] [Evaluation of shape stability] The curable resin compositions obtained in the examples and comparative examples were kept at a temperature of 25°C (±2°C), and their viscosity (Pa·s) was measured using an E-type viscometer (RE-85U, manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd., 3°×R9.7 rotor) with a sample size of 0.22 ml and rotation speeds of 1 rpm and 10 rpm. Subsequently, the TI value (1 / 10 rpm) was calculated based on the following formula 1. (Equation 1) [TI value (1 / 10 rpm)] = [Viscosity measured at 1 rpm] / [Viscosity measured at 10 rpm] In addition, since some cases exceeded the measurement limit, measurements were also taken under conditions of 2 rpm and 20 rpm rotation speeds, and the TI value (2 / 20 rpm) was also calculated based on the following formula 2. (Equation 2) [TI value (2 / 20 rpm)] = [Viscosity measured at 2 rpm] / [Viscosity measured at 20 rpm]
[0082] [Thread breakage] Each resin composition obtained in the examples and comparative examples was placed in a 10 ml syringe (PSY-10E) manufactured by Musashi Engineering Co., Ltd., and filled by centrifugal degassing using a Musashi Engineering Co., Ltd. syringe centrifugal degasser AWATRON (AW-50-3). A needle (PN-21G-A) manufactured by Musashi Engineering Co., Ltd. was attached to the filled syringe, and evaluation was performed under conditions of a discharge pressure of 300 kPa and a discharge time of 0.2 s. Specifically, using a Musashi Engineering Co., Ltd. dispenser robot (350PC SmartSM-ΩX), the movement height after adhesive discharge was varied from 1 mm to 25 mm, and dots were applied to a glass plate. The height at which the adhesive broke directly above the discharge point was defined as the thread breakage (mm), and observations were made.
[0083] [Adhesion] Two LCP test specimens (CM-529B, manufactured by ENEOS LCD Co., Ltd.) measuring 100mm x 25mm x 2mm thick were prepared, and their surfaces were lightly wiped with a cloth dampened with ethanol. The resin composition was uniformly applied to the surface of the LCP test specimens to a thickness of approximately 1mm. The two test specimens were joined together with two clips so that the coated surfaces overlapped by approximately 12mm, and then compressed. Any resin composition that seeped out was immediately wiped away with a cloth. The test specimens were evenly arranged in an oven and heated and cured at 80°C for 30 minutes to bond them together. Two test specimens were prepared for each type of resin. The tensile shear bond strength of the obtained test specimens was measured using a Tensilon universal testing machine (UTM-5T, manufactured by TOYO BALDWIN Co., Ltd.) in accordance with JIS-K-6850 (measurement environment: temperature 25°C / humidity 60%, tensile speed: 5mm / min). Based on the maximum load (N) at which the test specimen broke, the bonding area (mm²) 2 The tensile shear bond strength was calculated using the following formula 3, and the obtained tensile shear bond strength was defined as the "adhesion force". (Equation 3) [Tensile shear bond strength (N / mm²)] 2 )]=[Maximum load (N)] / [Adhesive area (mm 2 )]
[0084] Shape stability (TI value), thread breakage resistance (mm), adhesion strength (tensile shear adhesive strength (N / mm) 2The measured values for )) are shown in Tables 2-1 to 2-1. Furthermore, regarding the TI value, those with a value of 2.0 or higher were evaluated as ○, those with a value between 1.5 and 2.0 as △, and those with a value of 1.5 or lower as ×. Regarding thread breakage, we evaluated it as follows: ○ for breakage of 10mm or less, △ for breakage between 10mm and 15mm, and × for breakage of 15mm or more. Regarding adhesion strength, 2.0 N / mm 2 The above items are marked with a circle (〇), and the values are 1.5~2.0 N / mm². 2 The one with the triangle symbol, 1.5 N / mm 2 The following were marked with an "X".
[0085] [Discussion of evaluation results] The results of each of the above evaluations are shown in Tables 2-1 to 2-4. Comparative Examples 7 and 8, which lacked calcium carbonate, exhibited inferiority in thread breakability and dimensional stability. In contrast, the BET specific surface area is 5m² 2 The resin compositions according to Examples 1 to 9, which contained calcium carbonate of 1 / g or more, showed excellent balance in at least two of the following properties: dimensional stability, string breakability, and adhesion. On the other hand, the average particle size of calcium carbonate is 5m 2 In Comparative Example 1, where the value was less than / g, the desired shape stability was not achieved. Furthermore, when silica was used instead of calcium carbonate (Comparative Examples 2-6), although some properties were improved compared to Comparative Examples 7 and 8, it was not possible to achieve the same level of balanced improvement in shape stability, thread breakability, and adhesion as in Examples 1-9.
