Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive resin composition and a film using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the fields in which lithium-ion batteries are used have expanded to include portable electronic devices, automobiles, etc. Unlike the conventionally used metal cans, lithium-ion batteries are now being packaged in laminated packaging materials, which are lightweight and allow greater freedom in battery shape and to accommodate miniaturization. These laminated packaging materials are made of a composite material made by laminating a resin film onto an aluminum foil and shaped into a bag.

[0003] In addition, in lithium-ion batteries, the ends of the metal foil are heat-sealed with an adhesive polyolefin film to bond the metal foil together and ensure insulation.

[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a packaging material for batteries which includes at least a base layer, a metal foil layer having a chemical conversion coating layer on at least one side thereof, an acid-modified polyolefin layer, and a heat seal layer consisting of a high melting point polypropylene layer and an ethylene-propylene random copolymer layer, laminated in this order, wherein the high melting point polypropylene layer is disposed closer to the metal foil layer than the ethylene-propylene random copolymer layer and has a melting point of 150°C or higher.

[0049] The method for modifying the unmodified copolymer (B) with an unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or its derivative is not particularly limited, and may be the same as the method for modifying the polymer (a-1) to obtain the polymer (a-2).

[0052] When the content of the above components is within the above range, the resin composition of the present invention has high adhesion, particularly adhesion after immersion in an electrolyte solution, and a film including a layer obtained from the composition of the present invention is less likely to experience a decrease in adhesion due to immersion in an electrolyte solution.

[0053] If the content of the soft propylene-based copolymer (B) in the adhesive resin composition exceeds 40 parts by mass, a desired initial adhesive strength cannot be obtained.

[0054] The MFR (based on ASTM D1238, 190°C, 2.16 kg load) of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is 1 to 20 g / 10 min, preferably 1 to 15 g / 10 min, more preferably 1 to 10 g / 10 min. If the MFR exceeds 20 g / 10 min, the composition will be subject to significant wall thinning during heat sealing, and the adhesive layer formed from the composition will become thinner, resulting in a decrease in its adhesive strength. If the MFR is below 1 g / 10 min, the wettability to the adherend will decrease, resulting in a decrease in adhesive strength.

[0055] The density of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention (based on JIS K7112) is preferably 0.85 to 0.95 g / cm 3 , more preferably 0.89 to 0.92 g / cm 3 , and more preferably 0.89 to 0.91 g / cm 3 It is.

[0058] <Sea-island structure> The adhesive resin composition of the present invention forms a finely dispersed structure (so-called sea-island structure) in which the ethylene-based polymer (A) or the ethylene-based polymer (A') is contained in a continuous phase and the soft propylene-based copolymer (B) dispersed in the continuous phase is contained in a dispersed phase. By forming such a structure, the electrolyte resistance of the layer made of the adhesive resin composition is improved. The reason for this is not necessarily clear, but it is presumed that the electrolyte is trapped in the dispersed phase, thereby suppressing the electrolyte from penetrating into the interface (hereinafter also referred to as the "adhesive interface") between the layer made of the adhesive resin composition and the metal.

[0059] Like the ethylene polymer (A) and the ethylene polymer (A'), the polymer (a-1) also constitutes a continuous phase.

[0060] The average particle size of the dispersed phase, measured by the following method, is preferably 0.001 to 10 μm. The upper limit of the average particle size of the dispersed phase is more preferably 8 μm, further preferably 6 μm, and particularly preferably 5 μm, and the lower limit is preferably 0.09 μm.

[0061] (Method of measuring average particle size) The test piece is ground with a microtome or the like, and an arbitrary cross section of about 45 μm × 75 μm or more obtained is analyzed at 3000 times magnification using a transmission electron microscope (e.g., H-7650 manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation). The analysis is performed by binarizing the image using image analysis software (e.g., ImageJ).

[0062] From the TEM photograph, the areas occupied by the continuous phase and the dispersed phase are identified.

[0063] When the shape of the dispersed phase is a circle, the diameter is taken as the particle size, and when the shape of the dispersed phase is an ellipse, the length of the major axis is taken as the particle size. When the shape is other than a circle or an ellipse, the area of ​​the dispersed phase is calculated, and the diameter of a perfect circle with the same area is calculated and taken as the particle size.

[0064] When the average particle size of the dispersed phase is 0.001 μm or more, a sufficient cavitation effect is obtained, and the electrolyte resistance is good.

[0065] When the average particle size of the dispersed phase is 10 μm or less, the dispersed phase does not inhibit the adhesiveness of the continuous phase when present at the adhesive interface, and the composition of the present invention exhibits good adhesiveness.

[0066] In a randomly selected 10 μm×10 μm region on the cross section of a test piece when measuring the average particle size of the dispersed phase of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, the ratio of the number of dispersed phases having a particle size of 0.001 to 5 μm, which is 80% or more of the total number of dispersed phases, is preferably 80% or more, more preferably 85% or more, even more preferably 90% or more, particularly preferably 95% or more, and most preferably 100%. When the ratio is 80% or more, the composition has excellent adhesiveness.

[0067] [Single layer or multi-layer film] The monolayer or multilayer film of the present invention is characterized by comprising at least one layer containing the above-mentioned adhesive resin composition of the present invention.

[0068] Examples of specific embodiments of the monolayer or multilayer film of the present invention include: A multilayer film comprising at least one layer containing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention and at least one other layer which is a layer other than the layer containing the adhesive resin composition, the layer containing the adhesive resin composition being in contact with the other layer; and A multilayer film comprising at least one layer containing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention and at least one layer selected from a metal-containing layer, a polyolefin layer and a polar resin layer, wherein the layer containing the adhesive resin composition is in contact with at least one layer selected from the metal-containing layer, the polyolefin layer and the polar resin layer. Examples include:

[0069] The other layers include a metal-containing layer, a polyolefin layer, and a polar resin layer.

[0070] Examples of the metal-containing layer include an aluminum layer (for example, aluminum foil), a copper layer, and a stainless steel layer.

[0071] Examples of the polyolefin layer include a polypropylene layer, a poly-4-methylpentene layer, and a polyethylene layer.

[0072] Examples of the polar resin layer include a polyamide layer, an EVOH layer, a PET layer, and a PBT layer.

[0073] The layer containing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention can be produced by molding the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, for example, by melt extrusion molding. Thus, the monolayer or multilayer film of the present invention can be produced by a casting method, an inflation method, an extrusion lamination method, or the like.

[0074] The monolayer or multilayer film of the present invention can be preferably used as a packaging film for batteries, such as a packaging film for lithium batteries, or as an electrode sealant for lithium ion batteries. EXAMPLES

[0077] The MFR of the soft propylene-based copolymer was measured at a temperature of 230° C. and a load of 2.16 kg in accordance with ASTM D1238. When multiple types of ethylene-based polymers are present in the composition, the "MFR of the ethylene-based polymer (A)" refers to a value calculated by the logarithmic additivity rule.

[0078] <density> The density was measured in accordance with JIS K7112 (density gradient tube method).

[0081] The calculation is similar when three or more kinds of ethylene polymers are contained. The calculation is similar for the ethylene polymer (A').

[0082] <Content of structural units> The content of structural units derived from α-olefins in a copolymer is determined as follows: 13C-NMR was performed using the following equipment and conditions.

[0083] A JECX400P nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer manufactured by JEOL Ltd. was used.

The sample concentration was 60 mg / 0.6 mL, the measurement temperature was 120 °C, and the observation nuclei were 13 The conditions used were: C (100 MHz), sequence: single pulse proton decoupling, pulse width: 4.62 μs (45° pulse), repetition time: 5.5 s, number of accumulations: 8000, and chemical shift reference value: 29.73 ppm.

[0084] <Amount of graft modification> The amount of the structure derived from maleic anhydride (graft modification amount) was determined by an infrared absorption analyzer by measuring the 1790 cm -1 The peak intensity was measured and quantified using a previously prepared calibration curve.

[0085] [Raw materials] The polyolefins used in the examples and comparative examples are shown below. All of these polyolefins were prepared by polymerization and, optionally, graft modification with maleic anhydride according to a conventional method. PE-1: Polyethylene (MFR = 4.0 g / 10 min, density = 0.90 g / cm 3 , content of structure derived from maleic anhydride = 0.4% by mass PE-2: Polyethylene (MFR = 4.0g / 10min, density = 0.90g / cm 3 , content of structure derived from maleic anhydride = 1.5% by mass PE-3: Polyethylene (MFR = 4.0g / 10min, density = 0.90g / cm 3 ) PE-4: Polyethylene (MFR = 4.0 g / 10 min, density = 0.92 g / cm 3 , content of structure derived from maleic anhydride = 1.5% by mass PE-5: Polyethylene (MFR = 4.0 g / 10 min, density = 0.92 g / cm 3 ) PE-6: Polyethylene (MFR = 20g / 10min, density = 0.92g / cm 3 ) PBR-1: Propylene-butene copolymer (MFR=7.0g / 10min, density=0.88g / cm 3 , 1-butene content 25mol%) [Example 1] <Preparation of Composition 1> Composition 1 was obtained by melt-kneading 70 parts by mass of PE-1 and 30 parts by mass of PBR-1 at 230° C. using a single-screw extruder.

[0086] <Production of the Complex> The obtained composition 1 was molded into a film having a thickness of 100 μm using an extruder equipped with a T-die.

[0087] The obtained film was overlapped with an aluminum foil having a thickness of 200 μm and a width of 15 mm, and heat-sealed using a heat sealer under the conditions of a sealing temperature of 130° C., a sealing pressure of 0.2 MPa, and a sealing time of 4 seconds to produce a composite (multilayer film). Two composites were produced.

[0088] <Immersion of the composite in electrolyte> One of the composites obtained was immersed in an electrolyte solution containing 1 mol / L LiPF6 in a solvent of ethyl carbonate:diethyl carbonate=3:7 with 1000 ppm water added, and left to stand at 85°C for one week.

[0089] <Adhesive strength measurement of composite> The adhesive strength (unit: N / 15 mm) between the aluminum foil and the film made of Composition 1 was measured for the other composites (composites immediately after production) and the measurement sample after immersion in the electrolyte (composites after immersion in the electrolyte) using a tensile tester by the 180° peel method at room temperature of 23°C. The crosshead speed was 300 mm / min. The adhesive strength of the composite after immersion in the electrolyte (hereinafter referred to as "adhesive strength after immersion in the electrolyte") was scored according to the ratio of the adhesive strength of the composite immediately after production (hereinafter referred to as "initial adhesive strength"), and the results are shown in Table 1. The evaluation criteria are as follows:

[0090] (Initial adhesive strength) CC: less than 3N / 15mm BB: 3N / 15mm or more, less than 6N / 15mm AA:6N / 15mm or more (Electrolyte resistance) CC: Adhesion strength after immersion in electrolyte / initial adhesion strength is less than 10% BB: Adhesion strength after immersion in electrolyte / initial adhesion strength is 10% or more but less than 15% AA: Adhesion strength after immersion in electrolyte / initial adhesion strength is 15% or more [Examples 2 to 5, Comparative Examples 1 to 3] A composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the composition was prepared according to the formulation shown in Table 1, and a composite was produced and evaluated using the obtained composition. The results are shown in Table 1.
