Abstract
Description
[Background technology]
[0001] The present invention relates to compositions, cured products, and resin molded articles, etc.
[0002] Blocked isocyanate compounds are compounds in which the reactivity of an isocyanate group in a compound having an isocyanate group is inactivated (blocked) by reacting the isocyanate group with a blocking agent. For example, when using a blocked isocyanate compound as a curing agent, blocking the isocyanate group eliminates the need to prepare, for example, a liquid 1 containing a main agent having an active hydrogen group and a liquid 2 containing a compound having an isocyanate group for reaction with the active hydrogen group. Instead, the main agent having an active hydrogen group and the blocked isocyanate compound can be pre-mixed into a single liquid. For this reason, blocked isocyanate compounds are widely used in adhesives, coatings, molding materials, resins, and the like.
[0003] Crosslinking during resin manufacturing is an important means of improving resin properties. On the other hand, in order to make substrates resinous and to save energy, it is necessary to lower the heating temperature during crosslinking, for example, to below 100°C. One method that enables crosslinking under low temperature conditions is to introduce double bonds into the (co)polymer that forms the main chain of the resin. The applicant has proposed such compositions in Patent Documents 1 and 2. Patent Document 1 describes a photocurable composition containing (a) a compound containing two or more allyl groups in the molecule, (b) a compound containing two or more mercapto groups in the molecule, (c) a compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated group and an isocyanate group, and (d) a photopolymerization initiator. Patent Document 2 describes a photopolymerization initiator composition with high sensitivity and excellent storage properties, a photosensitive composition containing the photopolymerization initiator composition, and a thiourethane compound suitable for the photopolymerization initiator composition. Patent Document 3 describes a compound having a double bond that can be crosslinked at low temperatures (below 100°C) using a blocked isocyanate compound in which a compound having an isocyanate group (a1) and a compound having a hydroxyl group (a2) are bonded via the isocyanate group and the hydroxyl group. Furthermore, in Patent Document 4, the applicant describes that a copolymer containing a structural unit (a) having a conjugated diene moiety in its side chain and a structural unit (b) having a group containing a malic acid ester, and not containing a carboxyl group, has low-temperature curability and can form a cured product with good solvent resistance.

[0005] For curing, lower heating temperatures are generally preferable as they are more energy-efficient. In particular, for compositions used in components of image display elements, it is necessary to keep the heating temperature low to protect the elements. However, conventional compositions failed to produce cured products with sufficient solvent resistance when heated at low curing temperatures. Therefore, there is a need for a composition that can form cured products with excellent solvent resistance even at low curing temperatures.

As a result, the composition containing copolymer (A) and basic catalyst (B) hardens sufficiently even at a sufficiently low heating temperature for curing, and a cured product with excellent solvent resistance is obtained.

[0056] [Polyfunctional thiol (C)] Polyfunctional thiols (C) are thiol compounds having two or more mercapto groups. Due to their polyfunctional nature, the crosslinking density increases when curing compared to monofunctional compounds. A polyfunctional thiol (C) is a group that has two or more groups represented by the following general formula (5) within its molecule.
[0057] [ka] In the above general formula (5), R 5 and R 6 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or an aromatic group with 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and s represents an integer from 0 to 2. *2 indicates the bond to the linking group. From the viewpoint of improving the strength of the film (cured product) obtained by the curing reaction, the polyfunctional thiol (C) is preferably one having 2 to 4 groups represented by general formula (1), and more preferably one having 4 groups.
[0058] In the above general formula (1), R 1 and R 6 Each of these is independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or an aromatic group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Among them, R 5 and R 6 Each of these groups is independently preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, more preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and even more preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 2 carbon atoms. Specifically, examples include methyl group, ethyl group, n-propyl group, iso-propyl group, n-butyl group, iso-butyl group, tert-butyl group, n-hexyl group, n-octyl group, etc., with methyl group or ethyl group being preferred among them.
[0059] From the standpoint of photocurability and storage stability, R 5 and R 6 It is preferable that one or both of them are an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an aromatic group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms (i.e., a secondary or tertiary thiol). In particular, R 5 and R 6It is more preferable that one of the members is an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an aromatic group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and the other is a hydrogen atom (i.e., a secondary thiol). That is, the thiol compound (a) is preferably a secondary or tertiary thiol, and more preferably a secondary thiol. The polyfunctional thiol (C) is composed of the group represented by the general formula (5) above -(CH2) s - is bonded to the linking group (X) via -CO-O- (CO on the SH side). If s is 0, it is directly bonded to the linking group (X) via -CO-O- (CO on the SH side). The linking group (X) is not particularly limited as long as it can bond to two or more groups represented by the above general formula (5), and examples include linear or branched hydrocarbon groups, fatty rings, aromatic rings, heterocyclic rings, and other cyclic structures.

Furthermore, when a polymer (A) is reacted with a base (B), the reaction depends on the concentration of the functional groups in the reactants and the polyfunctional thiol (C).

Subsequently, polyfunctional thiol (C) was mixed to obtain the compositions shown in Tables 3-5 to prepare the compositions.
[0099] [Evaluation of solvent resistance] The compositions of Examples 1-16 and Comparative Examples 1-9 were each applied to a glass substrate (alkali-free glass substrate) measuring 5 cm in length and 2 cm in width using a barcoder (#34) to a thickness of 78 μm, forming a coated film. Then, the solvent in the coated film was evaporated and the film was baked by heating at temperatures of 40°C, 80°C, 100°C, 120°C, or 140°C for 30 minutes to form a cured film. At 25°C, the solvent in the coated film was evaporated overnight.
[0100] The mass of each cured film obtained was measured. Next, each glass substrate with the cured film was immersed in 100g of acetone at 25°C for 24 hours. After that, the glass substrates were removed from the acetone and dried at 110°C for 1 hour. The mass of the cured film remaining on the dried glass substrate was measured, and the residual film percentage was calculated using the following formula to evaluate the solvent resistance of the cured film. In other words, the closer the residual film percentage is to 100%, the better the solvent resistance of the cured film. For evaluation, a residual film percentage of 20% or more was considered acceptable. The results are shown in Tables 3 to 5. Residual film percentage = (Mass of cured film after acetone immersion / Mass of cured film before acetone immersion) × 100 (%)
