Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a double-sided adhesive and a multilayer structure.
Background Art
[0002] Conventional touch control technologies for touch control displays include adhering and fixing a cover plate of a touch control display and a touch control plate using an optical adhesive, and adhering and fixing a touch control plate and a polarizing plate of a display module using an optical adhesive. Many conventional optical adhesive products emphasize their strong adhesive force so that the two panels to be adhered do not peel off. However, the strong adhesive characteristics also have the drawback of being inconvenient in rework.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] The panel rework process of panel manufacturers can be mainly divided into two types. One is to process the panel at a low temperature and then peel off the panel adhered with two optical adhesives. The other is to mechanically cut the optical adhesive and then peel off the two panels. Since a part of the optical adhesive adheres to both of the two panels by both methods, both methods require a lot of labor and the use of solvents to remove the adhesive, which is time-consuming and not environmentally friendly. Moreover, the polarizing plate is extremely vulnerable to damage in the process of removing the residual adhesive.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] The present disclosure provides a double-sided adhesive body. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the double-sided adhesive body may include a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer has a first surface, and the second adhesive layer has a second surface. The first adhesive layer may be a product obtained by cross-linking a first adhesive composition, and the first adhesive composition includes a first copolymer and a first cross-linking agent. The first copolymer may be a product obtained by copolymerizing a first copolymer composition. The first copolymer composition includes a monomer (A1), and the monomer (A1) may include a first monomer, a second monomer, and a third monomer. In the monomer (A1), the weight percentage of the third monomer with respect to the weight of the monomer (A1) is W1. The first monomer is a (meth)acrylate monomer having a hydroxyl group. The second monomer is a (meth)acrylate monomer whose homopolymer has a glass transition temperature of -20°C or lower. The third monomer is a monomer having a terminal vinyl group whose homopolymer has a glass transition temperature of 0°C or higher. The second adhesive layer may be a product obtained by cross-linking a second adhesive composition. The second adhesive composition may include a second copolymer and a second cross-linking agent. The second copolymer may be a product obtained by copolymerizing a second copolymer composition. The second copolymer composition may include a monomer (B1), and the monomer (B1) may include a first monomer, a second monomer, and a third monomer. In the monomer (B1), the weight percentage of the third monomer with respect to the weight of the monomer (B1) is W2. It should be noted that the weight percentage W1 and the weight percentage W2 satisfy the following relationship: 45wt% ≥ W2 - W1 ≥ 7wt%.
[0006] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure also provides a multilayer structure. The multilayer structure may include a first substrate, a second substrate, and the double-sided adhesive body described above. The first adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive body has a first surface, and the second adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive body has a second surface. The first surface is in contact with the first substrate, and the second surface is in contact with the second substrate.
Advantages of the Invention
[0007] The present disclosure provides a double-sided adhesive body, for example, a double-sided adhesive body that can be peeled off by freezing. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure has a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer. By controlling the difference in the content of the hard monomer in the first adhesive layer and the hard monomer in the second adhesive layer, the difference in the adhesion between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer after the double-sided adhesive body is subjected to a low-temperature treatment becomes large. As a result, during the rework process, the double-sided adhesive body can be smoothly peeled off from the base material (the base material in contact with the second adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive body), and no adhesive material remains.
[0008] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure also provides a multilayer structure including the double-sided adhesive body, for example, a display panel. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive body may have a first surface, the second adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive body has a second surface, the first surface may be used to adhere and fix a touch control panel, and the second surface is used to adhere and fix a polarizing plate of a display module. When the double-sided adhesive body is subjected to a low-temperature treatment, the adhesion between the first surface and the second surface of the double-sided adhesive body decreases, and a large difference occurs between the adhesion of the first surface of the first adhesive layer and the adhesion of the second surface of the second adhesive layer. After the peeling process, the two adhered base materials can be easily peeled off. In addition, the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure only remains on one base material (for example, a touch control panel), and does not remain on two base materials at the same time (for example, no adhesive residue is formed on the polarizing plate). Therefore, the reuse rate of the display panel element is increased, and the efficiency of the rework process is increased.

[0022] (B1) In the monomer, the weight percentage of the third monomer may be W2 with respect to the weight of the (B1) monomer (i.e., the total weight of the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer in the second copolymer composition).
[0023] It should be noted that the weight percentage W1 and the weight percentage W2 satisfy the following relationship: 45 wt% ≥ W2 - W1 ≥ 7 wt% (for example, 40 wt% ≥ W2 - W1 ≥ 7 wt%, 35 wt% ≥ W2 - W1 ≥ 7 wt%, 32 wt% ≥ W2 - W1 ≥ 7 wt%, or 28 wt% ≥ W2 - W1 ≥ 7 wt%). According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the value of the difference (W2 - W1) between the weight percentage W1 and the weight percentage W2 is less than 7, after the double-sided adhesive is subjected to a low-temperature treatment, there is no significant difference in the adhesive strength between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer.
[0024] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first copolymer composition does not contain other reactive monomers (i.e., monomers that can be used to form repeating units of the first copolymer) in addition to the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second copolymer composition does not contain other reactive monomers (i.e., monomers that can be used to form repeating units of the second copolymer) in addition to the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first monomer may be a (meth)acrylate monomer having a hydroxyl group. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first monomer may be as follows.

[0029] In the formula, R 1 may be hydrogen or a methyl group, and R 2 may be hydrogen, or a C 1-10 alkylol group. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the C 1-10 alkylol group may be a linear or branched alkylol group. For example, C 1-10The alkylol group may be a methylol group, an ethylol group, a propylol group, a butylol group, a pentylol group, a hexylol group, or an isomer thereof. By way of example, the first monomer may be acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, hydroxybutyl acrylate, hydroxybutyl methacrylate, or a combination of the foregoing.
[0030] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second monomer may be a soft monomer, and the soft monomer refers to a (meth)acrylate monomer whose homopolymer has a glass transition temperature of -20°C or lower (for example, a glass transition temperature of -20°C to -100°C, a glass transition temperature of -20°C to -90°C, a glass transition temperature of -20°C to -80°C, or a glass transition temperature of -20°C to -70°C). In other words, the second monomer may be a (meth)acrylate monomer, and the glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of the (meth)acrylate monomer is -20°C or lower. The glass transition temperature is measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (heating rate: 10°C / min), or the literature values such as those in POLYMER HANDBOOK (Wiley-Interscience) are referred to. For example, the second monomer may be n-butyl acrylate, sec-butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, ethoxyethyl acrylate, isononyl acrylate, lauryl methacrylate, or a combination thereof as described above.
[0031] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the third monomer may be a hard monomer, and the hard monomer refers to a monomer having a terminal vinyl group with a glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of 0 °C or higher (for example, a glass transition temperature of 0 °C to 200 °C, a glass transition temperature of 0 °C to 180 °C, a glass transition temperature of 0 °C to 150 °C, or a glass transition temperature of 0 °C to 130 °C). In other words, the third monomer may be a monomer having a terminal vinyl group, and the glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of the monomer having the terminal vinyl group is 0 °C or higher.

[0032] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the (A1) monomer, the weight percentage of the first monomer may be from 1 wt% to 10 wt% (for example, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, or 9 wt%) based on the weight of the (A1) monomer. When the weight percentage of the first monomer in the (A1) monomer is from 1 wt% to 10 wt%, the first copolymer will have an appropriate number of hydroxyl groups, be able to react better with the crosslinking agent, and the resulting crosslinked product will have weather resistance. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the (B1) monomer, the weight percentage of the first monomer may be from 1 wt% to 10 wt% (for example, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, or 9 wt%) based on the weight of the (B1) monomer.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the (A1) monomer, the weight percentage of the second monomer may be from 50 wt% to 95 wt% (for example, 51 wt%, 52 wt%, 53 wt%, 54 wt%, 55 wt%, 56 wt%, 57 wt%, 58 wt%, 59 wt%, 60 wt%, 61 wt%, 62 wt%, 63 wt%, 64 wt%, 65 wt%, 66 wt%, 67 wt%, 68 wt%, 69 wt%, 70 wt%, 71 wt%, 72 wt%, 73 wt%, 74 wt%, 75 wt%, 76 wt%, 77 wt%, 78 wt%, 79 wt%, 80 wt%, 81 wt%, 82 wt%, 83 wt%, 84 wt%, 85 wt%, 86 wt%, 87 wt%, 88 wt%, 89 wt%, 90 wt%, 91 wt%, 92 wt%, 93 wt%, or 94 wt%) based on the weight of the (A1) monomer. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the (B1) monomer, the weight percentage of the second monomer may be from 50 wt% to 95 wt% (for example, 51 wt%, 52 wt%, 53 wt%, 54 wt%, 55 wt%, 56 wt%, 57 wt%, 58 wt%, 59 wt%, 60 wt%, 61 wt%, 62 wt%, 63 wt%, 64 wt%, 65 wt%, 66 wt%, 67 wt%, 68 wt%, 69 wt%, 70 wt%, 71 wt%, 72 wt%, 73 wt%, 74 wt%, 75 wt%, 76 wt%, 77 wt%, 78 wt%, 79 wt%, 80 wt%, 81 wt%, 82 wt%, 83 wt%, 84 wt%, 85 wt%, 86 wt%, 87 wt%, 88 wt%, 89 wt%, 90 wt%, 91 wt%, 92 wt%, 93 wt%, or 94 wt%) based on the weight of the (B1) monomer.
[0035] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the (A1) monomer, the weight percentage of the second monomer may be from 50 wt% to 95 wt% based on the total weight of the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the (B1) monomer, the weight percentage of the second monomer may be from 50 wt% to 95 wt% based on the total weight of the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer.
[0036] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the (A1) monomer, the weight percentage of the third monomer with respect to the weight of the (A1) monomer may be from 4 wt% to 49 wt% (for example, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 wt%, 11 wt%, 12 wt%, 13 wt%, 14 wt%, 15 wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt%, 20 wt%, 21 wt%, 22 wt%, 23 wt%, 24 wt%, 25 wt%, 26 wt%, 27 wt%, 28 wt%, 29 wt%, 30 wt%, 31 wt%, 32 wt%, 33 wt%, 34 wt%, 35 wt%, 36 wt%, 37 wt%, 38 wt%, 39 wt%, 40 wt%, 41 wt%, 42 wt%, 43 wt%, 44 wt%, 45 wt%, 46 wt%, 47 wt%, or 48 wt%). According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the (B1) monomer, the weight percentage of the third monomer with respect to the weight of the (B1) monomer may be from 4 wt% to 49 wt% (for example, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 wt%, 11 wt%, 12 wt%, 13 wt%, 14 wt%, 15 wt%, 16 wt%, 17 wt%, 18 wt%, 19 wt%, 20 wt%, 21 wt%, 22 wt%, 23 wt%, 24 wt%, 25 wt%, 26 wt%, 27 wt%, 28 wt%, 29 wt%, 30 wt%, 31 wt%, 32 wt%, 33 wt%, 34 wt%, 35 wt%, 36 wt%, 37 wt%, 38 wt%, 39 wt%, 40 wt%, 41 wt%, 42 wt%, 43 wt%, 44 wt%, 45 wt%, 46 wt%, 47 wt%, or 48 wt%).
[0037] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the (A1) monomer, the weight percentage of the third monomer with respect to the total weight of the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer may be from 4 wt% to 49 wt%. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the (B1) monomer, the weight percentage of the third monomer with respect to the total weight of the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer may be from 4 wt% to 49 wt%.
[0038] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the first copolymer composition or the second copolymer composition, when the content of the soft monomer (i.e., a (meth)acrylate monomer having a glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of -20°C or lower) is relatively high, the resulting copolymer will have a relatively low glass transition temperature. Also, in the first copolymer composition or the second copolymer composition, when the content of the hard monomer (i.e., a monomer having a terminal vinyl group with a glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of 0°C or higher) is relatively high, the resulting copolymer will have a relatively high glass transition temperature. Therefore, by adjusting the content of the hard monomer (i.e., the third monomer) in the first copolymer composition and the second copolymer composition, the difference in the glass transition temperature of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer can be increased (i.e., the glass transition temperature (Tg 2 ) of the copolymer used for the second adhesive layer is made larger than the glass transition temperature (Tg 1 ) of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer). By doing so, when the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure is subjected to a low-temperature treatment, the difference in the adhesive strength between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer can be made even larger, so that the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure can be peeled off from the second adhesive layer side, and no residue of the adhesive material occurs.
[0039] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, using the Fox equation, the estimated glass transition temperature of the copolymer used for the adhesive layer (for example, the first adhesive layer or the second adhesive layer) can be calculated. The calculation formula of the Fox equation is as follows. 1 / Tg = W1 / Tg1 + W2 / Tg2 + W3 / Tg3 + … Wn / Tgn In the formula, Tg is the glass transition temperature (K) of the adhesive layer, W1 is the weight fraction of monomer 1, Tg1 is the glass transition temperature (K) of the homopolymer of monomer 1, W2 is the weight fraction of monomer 2, Tg2 is the glass transition temperature (K) of the homopolymer of monomer 2, Wn is the weight fraction of monomer N, and Tgn is the glass transition temperature (K) of the homopolymer of monomer N. Monomers 1 to N refer to various monomers used to produce a copolymer (for example, the first copolymer or the second copolymer), and the copolymer is used to produce the adhesive layer.
[0040] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when performing a low-temperature treatment on the double-sided adhesive body in the rework process, the temperature (T) of the low-temperature treatment is set to be lower than the glass transition temperature (Tg 1 ) of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer and the glass transition temperature (Tg 2 ) of the copolymer used for the second adhesive layer. In other words, the temperature (T) of the low-temperature treatment, the glass transition temperature (Tg 1 ) of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer, and the glass transition temperature (Tg 2 ) of the copolymer used for the second adhesive layer satisfy the following relationship: Tg 2 >Tg 1 >T. By doing so, in the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure, a large difference may occur in the adhesive strength between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer after the low-temperature treatment. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the value of the difference between the glass transition temperature Tg 2 of the copolymer used for the second adhesive layer and the glass transition temperature Tg 1 of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer (that is, Tg 2 -Tg 1 ) may be 10 °C or higher (that is, Tg 2 -Tg 1 ≧10 °C).
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the time of the cryogenic treatment according to the present disclosure may be from about 1 minute to 1 hour, for example, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes, 40 minutes, 45 minutes, 50 minutes, or 55 minutes. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature of the cryogenic treatment may be from about -10°C to -130°C, for example, -15°C, -20°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, -50°C, -60°C, -70°C, -80°C, -90°C, -100°C, -110°C, or -120°C. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the lower the temperature (T) of the cryogenic treatment, the shorter the time of the cryogenic treatment.
[0042] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when performing cryogenic treatment on the double-sided adhesive body in the rework process, the temperature (T) of the cryogenic treatment is the glass transition temperature (Tg 1 ) of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer and the glass transition temperature (Tg 2 ) of the copolymer used for the second adhesive layer. In other words, the temperature (T) of the cryogenic treatment, the glass transition temperature (Tg 1 ) of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer, and the glass transition temperature (Tg 2 ) of the copolymer used for the second adhesive layer have the following relationship: Tg 2 > T> Tg 1 can be satisfied. By doing so, after performing cryogenic treatment on the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure, the difference in adhesive strength between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer can be made larger, and the double-sided adhesive body can be surely peeled off smoothly from the base material (the base material in contact with the second adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive body) during the rework process, and no residue of the adhesive material will occur. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the temperature (T) of the cryogenic treatment is between the glass transition temperature (Tg 1 ) of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer and the glass transition temperature (Tg 2 ) of the copolymer used for the second adhesive layer, the energy loss during the cryogenic treatment can be reduced (that is, it is not necessary to lower the temperature below the glass transition temperature (Tg 1 ) of the copolymer used for the first adhesive layer).
[0043] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first copolymer composition may further include an (A2) initiator, and the weight ratio of the (A1) monomer to the (A2) initiator may be from 10,000:1 to 100:3, such as 8,000:1, 6,000:1, 5,000:1, 3,000:1, 2,000:1, 1,750:1, 1,500:1, 1,250:1, 1,000:1, 750:1, 500:1, 200:1, 100:1, 100:2, or 100:2.5.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for producing a double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure may include the following steps.

[0068] There is no particular limitation on the thickness of the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure, and it can be selected according to actual needs. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the average thickness of the double-sided adhesive body may be about 10 μm to 500 μm, for example, 50 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, 300 μm, or 400 μm.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure also provides a multilayer structure 100 as shown in FIG. 2. The multilayer structure 100 includes the double-sided adhesive body 10 according to the present disclosure, a first base material 20, and a second base material 30, and the double-sided adhesive body 10 is disposed between the first base material 20 and the second base material 30. The double-sided adhesive body 10 has a first adhesive layer 12 and a second adhesive layer 14. The first base material 20 is disposed on the first surface 11 of the first adhesive layer 12, and the first base material 20 and the first adhesive layer 12 are in direct contact. The double-sided adhesive body 10 is directly disposed on the second base material 30, and the second surface 13 of the second adhesive layer 14 and the second base material 30 are in direct contact.
[0070] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the double-sided adhesive body 10 is used to fix the first base material 20 to the second base material 30 to obtain the multilayer structure 100. Further, after performing a low-temperature treatment on the multilayer structure 100, the first base material 20 can be peeled off from the second base material 30, and no adhesive material remains on the second base material 30. Specifically, after performing a low-temperature treatment on the double-sided adhesive body 10 according to the present disclosure, the adhesive forces of the first adhesive layer 12 and the second adhesive layer 14 of the double-sided adhesive body 10 decrease, and a large difference occurs between the adhesive force of the first surface 11 of the first adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive force of the second surface 13 of the second adhesive layer 14. Therefore, after performing the peeling step, not only can the first base material 20 be easily peeled off from the second base material 30, but the double-sided adhesive body 10 only remains on the first base material 20 and does not remain on the second base material 30. Therefore, the reuse rate of the display panel element is increased, and the efficiency of the rework process is increased.
[0071] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after performing a low-temperature treatment on the multilayer structure 10, the adhesive strength (P1) between the first adhesive layer 12 and the first base material 20 is greater than the adhesive strength (P2) between the second adhesive layer 14 and the second base material 30. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, P1 and P2 satisfy the following condition: P1 - P2 ≥ 200 gf / 25 mm (for example, 300 gf / 25 mm, 400 gf / 25 mm, 500 gf / 25 mm, 600 gf / 25 mm, 700 gf / 25 mm, 800 gf / 25 mm, 900 gf / 25 mm, 1,000 gf / 25 mm, or 1,500 gf / 25 mm). Here, the method for measuring the adhesive strength followed the method defined in ASTM D3330. The measurement conditions for the adhesive strength are as follows. Using a tensile tester (QC-506B1, Cometech), the angle at which the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) base material is peeled off is 180 o The peeling speed is set to 300 mm / min.
[0072] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first base material 20 and the second base material 30 can be two base materials to be joined. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is no particular limitation on the base material, which may be a metal sheet material, a silicon base material, glass, or a polymer film, and any necessary film layer may already be formed on the base material. For example, the first base material 20 and the second base material 30 may each independently be glass, a transparent base material, a release film, an optical protection film, a brightness enhancement film, a retardation film, a polarizing plate, a touch control panel, an antireflection film, a light guide plate, or a diffuser film.
[0073] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the multilayer structure 100 may be a display panel, the first base material 20 may be a touch control panel, and the second base material 30 may be a polarizing plate. The touch control panel may include a transparent glass or a transparent base material, and a transparent conductive electrode is formed on at least one surface of the transparent glass or the transparent base material.
[0074] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for manufacturing a multilayer structure according to the present disclosure may include the following steps. First, prepare a laminate having a double-sided adhesive according to the present disclosure (the structure is a first release film / first adhesive layer / second adhesive layer / second release film). Next, remove the first release film to expose the first surface of the first adhesive layer, and dispose a first substrate on the first surface of the first adhesive layer to perform a laminating process. Next, remove the second release film to expose the second surface of the second adhesive layer, dispose the second adhesive layer on a second substrate, and perform a laminating process to obtain a multilayer structure according to the present disclosure.

[0101] Measurement of the properties of the adhesive layer The average thickness, average total transmittance, average haze, and average peel adhesion to glass at room temperature of the adhesive layers (1) - (7) were measured. The results are as shown in Table 2.
[0102] The measuring method for the average thickness of the adhesive layer was as follows. Using a micrometer (Micrometer, MITUTOYO IP65), the total thickness of six points of the adhesive layer including the release film was measured, and then the average value of the six points was taken as the average total thickness. The thickness of the release film was subtracted from the average total thickness to obtain the average thickness of the adhesive layer.
[0103] The measuring methods for the total transmittance and haze of the adhesive layer were as follows. The adhesive layer including the release film was used as a test piece. The test piece was cut into a size of 45 mm in width and 75 mm in length, and a pressure roller weighing 2 kg was rolled back and forth to press the release film. After the adhesive layer was pressed onto an optical glass substrate (thickness 0.7 mm), the release film was peeled off to make a measurement test piece of the adhesive layer / optical glass. The measuring methods for the total transmittance and haze were based on the methods specified in ASTM D1003, and the measuring instrument was a haze meter (NDH 2000, Nippon Denshoku). In the measuring step, first, an optical glass substrate calibration instrument was used to measure the total transmittance and haze of the test piece. After measuring three points for each test piece, the average value of the three points was taken as the average measured value of the test piece.
[0104] Peel adhesion of the adhesive layer to glass: The adhesive layer including the release film was cut into a strip film with a width of 25 mm and a length of 100 mm, and a pressure roller weighing 2 kg was rolled back and forth once to press the strip film. The adhesive layer was pressure-bonded and attached to a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate (thickness 100 μm, product code SHINPEX O, sold by Shinco Optoelectronics) treated with a primer. Then, the release film was peeled off, and the adhesive layer was transferred to the polyethylene terephthalate substrate. Next, the adhesive layer was attached to a glass plate with a thickness of 1.8 mm, and a pressure roller weighing 2 kg was rolled back and forth once to press the polyethylene terephthalate substrate, obtaining a test piece of polyethylene terephthalate substrate / adhesive layer / glass plate. After leaving the test piece standing at room temperature for 24 hours, the peel adhesion of the test piece was measured. The measurement method of the peel adhesion followed ASTM D3330, and the measurement conditions were as follows. Using a tensile testing machine (model number QC-506B1, Cometech), the angle for peeling off the polyethylene terephthalate substrate was 180 o The peeling speed was set at 300 mm / min.

[0109] The average thickness of the double-sided adhesive body (1) was measured. The results are as shown in Table 3.

The results are as shown in Table 4.
[0122] Example 5 A polarizing plate with a structure of protective film / polarizing film / pressure-sensitive adhesive / release film (size 45 mm × 75 mm, model number of the polarizing film is MIC25518, sold by Litek Optoelectronics) was prepared, and the protective film was peeled off in preparation for use.

[0127] Also, after the multilayer structure (3) was subjected to a low-temperature treatment at -40°C for 30 minutes, after peeling the glass plate and the polarizing plate of the multilayer structure (3), the residual situation in the glass plate and the polarizing film of the double-sided adhesive body (3) (adhesive layer (5) / adhesive layer (6)) was examined. The results are as shown in Table 4.
[0128] Comparative Example 2 A polarizing plate with a structure of protective film / polarizing film / pressure-sensitive adhesive / release film (size 45 mm × 75 mm, model number of the polarizing film is MIC25518, sold by Litek Optoelectronics) was prepared, and the protective film was peeled off in preparation for use. A laminate including the double-sided adhesive body (4) described in Comparative Example 1 was prepared and cut to obtain a rectangular film piece (size 45 mm × 75 mm). Next, the lightly peeled PET substrate of the rectangular film piece was peeled off to expose the adhesive layer (7) of the rectangular film. Next, a glass plate (thickness 1.8 mm) was prepared, the adhesive layer (7) of the rectangular film piece was attached to the glass plate, and a pressure roller weighing 2 kg was rolled back and forth to press the heavily peeled PET substrate of the rectangular film piece. Next, the heavily peeled PET substrate of the rectangular film piece was peeled off to expose the adhesive layer (4) of the rectangular film piece.

[0129] After the multilayer structure (4) was subjected to a low-temperature treatment at -15°C for 30 minutes, the difference value between the adhesive force between the glass plate and the adhesive layer (7) and the adhesive force between the adhesive layer (4) and the polarizing film was evaluated. The results are as shown in Table 4. The measurement method of the peel adhesive force followed ASTM D3330.
[0130] Also, after the multilayer structure (4) was subjected to a low-temperature treatment at -15°C for 30 minutes, after peeling the glass plate and the polarizing plate of the multilayer structure (4), the residual situation in the glass plate and the polarizing film of the double-sided adhesive body (4) (adhesive layer (7) / adhesive layer (4)) was examined. The results are as shown in Table 4.
[0131]
Table 4
[0132] As can be seen from Table 4, in the multilayer structures fabricated using the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure (for example, the multilayer structures (1) to (3) described in Examples 4 to 6), by adjusting the content (W1) of the third monomer (hard monomer) of the copolymer used to form the first adhesive layer and the content (W2) of the third monomer (hard monomer) of the copolymer used to form the second adhesive layer (i.e., W2 - W1 ≧ 7 wt%), after subjecting the multilayer structure to a low-temperature treatment, the difference in the adhesive strength between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer could be increased. Thus, the glass plate and the polarizing plate could be easily peeled off, and the double-sided adhesive body did not remain on the polarizing film. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 2, the difference value between the content (W1) of the third monomer (hard monomer) of the copolymer used to form the first adhesive layer and the content (W2) of the third monomer of the copolymer used to form the second adhesive layer was only about 4.6 wt%. After subjecting the multilayer structure to a low-temperature treatment, no significant difference occurred in the adhesive strength between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer. For this reason, when the glass plate and the polarizing plate were peeled off, it was observed that the double-sided adhesive body remained on both the glass plate and the polarizing film.
[0133] In summary, by controlling the difference in the content of the hard monomer in the first adhesive layer and the hard monomer in the second adhesive layer, after subjecting the double-sided adhesive body to a low-temperature treatment, the difference in the adhesion between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer can be increased. If the double-sided adhesive body according to the present disclosure is used to bond a glass plate and a polarizing plate, the glass plate and the polarizing plate can be peeled off by a low-temperature treatment, and the adhesive material of the double-sided adhesive body does not remain on the polarizing plate. Therefore, the double-sided adhesive body of the present invention is suitable for use in the rework process of a display panel, can simplify the existing rework process, significantly shorten the time required for rework, and also omit the process of removing the residual adhesive on the polarizing plate. Accordingly, the polarizing plate is not damaged by removing the residual adhesive, and the reuse rate of the panel is increased.
[0134] It will be apparent that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed methods and materials. The specification and examples are intended to be regarded merely as illustrative, and the true scope of the disclosure is indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
