Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, and more particularly to a composition that exhibits excellent flexibility, heat cycle resistance, and heat resistance, and also exhibits excellent adhesion to both metals and resins. [Background technology]

[0002] From the viewpoint of labor, resource, and energy saving, room temperature fast-curing adhesive compositions are used as adhesives that bond in a short time at room temperature. Known room temperature fast-curing adhesive compositions include two-part fast-curing epoxy adhesive compositions, anaerobic adhesive compositions, instant adhesive compositions, and second-generation acrylic adhesive compositions (SGA).

[0003] Two-part fast-curing epoxy adhesives are prepared by measuring and mixing the base agent and curing agent, applying the mixture to the adherend, and then curing via the reaction between the base agent and curing agent. Two-part fast-curing epoxy adhesives have typically been widely used as structural adhesives due to their high durability and high adhesive strength. However, conventional two-part fast-curing epoxy adhesives are hard and brittle, with significantly low flexibility. As a result, when used to bond different types of adherends, they are unable to alleviate the strain caused by the difference in linear expansion coefficients between the adherends, often resulting in problems such as peeling and cracking. Furthermore, improper curing can occur if the base agent and curing agent are not accurately measured to achieve the required mixing ratio.

[0004] Anaerobic adhesives are cured by pressing the adhesive composition between adherends to block air. However, if a portion of the adhesive composition protrudes from the adherends during pressure bonding, the protruding portion comes into contact with air, inhibiting the curing reaction and causing poor curing. Furthermore, if there is a large clearance between the adherends, sufficient pressure bonding cannot be achieved and air cannot be completely blocked, resulting in poor curing.

[0005] Instant adhesives are typically made primarily of cyanoacrylate and cure very quickly, making them easy to work with. However, the resulting cured product is brittle and has poor adhesive properties, making them unsuitable for structural applications that require durability.

[0006] SGAs consist of a first agent containing an organic peroxide and a second agent containing a reducing agent that decomposes the organic peroxide contained in the first agent and generates radicals. SGAs are generally of the two-part type, with both the first and second agents containing main ingredients such as polymerizable (meth)acrylic monomers and elastomers.

[0007] A feature of two-component SGAs is that they do not require accurate measurement of the two components, and even if the measurement or mixing is incomplete, they cure at room temperature in a few minutes to a few tens of minutes simply by contacting the two components, which makes them easy to work with. Furthermore, they have high tensile elongation and good cure even in overhanging areas, which is why they are widely used in fields ranging from electrical and electronic parts to civil engineering and construction. Various proposals have been made regarding such SGAs, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 5. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-109783 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-031262 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-188651 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-105109 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-056232 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] When an adhesive is to be used in a harsh environment, adhesives that are not designed for this purpose will not be able to perform adequately. It is known to be particularly difficult to maintain adhesiveness in an environment where high and low temperatures are repeatedly experienced (also known as improving "heat cycle resistance"). In the technical field, heat cycle resistance and heat resistance are considered to be separate properties.

[0010] For example, conventional SGAs have been unable to achieve both flexibility and adhesion. For example, conventional SGAs have been unable to achieve both flexibility, heat cycle resistance, and heat resistance, while also exhibiting excellent adhesion to both metals and resins. For example, Patent Document 1 reports that the use of flexible (meth)acrylates or urethane prepolymers can provide high flexibility and reduce distortion caused by cure shrinkage stress on metal adherends. However, there is no mention of adhesion to resin adherends. Furthermore, there is no mention of heat cycle resistance or heat resistance.

[0011] Patent Document 2 reports a technology for improving the low-temperature properties of SGA by using a liquid elastomer. However, Patent Document 2 does not mention achieving both flexibility and adhesion. Patent Document 2 does not mention heat cycle resistance and heat resistance, nor does it mention tensile elongation.

[0012] Patent Document 3 reports that a composition with high stress relaxation properties can be provided by reacting a (meth)acrylate having a hydroxyl group with a polyisocyanate having an isocyanate group. However, the urethane bond formed by the reaction of a hydroxyl group with an isocyanate group is known to be hydrolyzed, which poses a problem in terms of durability. Furthermore, polyisocyanates having isocyanate groups are known to decompose when reacted with water, which poses a problem in storage stability.

[0013] Patent Document 4 reports a technique for improving the heat resistance of SGA by using zeolite. However, Patent Document 4 does not mention achieving both flexibility and adhesion.

[0014] Patent Document 5 describes the use of a specific (meth)acrylate as a technology for improving adhesion to resins. For example, resin materials commonly used as structural members, such as polycarbonate resin, ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin, phenolic resin, and epoxy resin, have an aromatic skeleton as a structural unit, and it is believed that the use of phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, which also has an aromatic skeleton, improves adhesion to adherends. However, (meth)acrylates with aromatic skeletons generally have a rigid structure, and the resulting cured products do not have high flexibility. In other words, the problem of a trade-off between resin adhesion and flexibility has not been solved. [Means for solving the problem]

[0070] Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the synergistic effect of containing the above-mentioned components (1), (2), and (3), or the synergistic effect of containing the above-mentioned components (1) to (4), results in the resulting composition having sufficiently reduced internal stress after curing. Moreover, the composition also has excellent adhesion to adherends such as resins and metals, allowing it to adhere sufficiently against the internal stress, resulting in extremely excellent heat cycle resistance.

[0085] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples. [Example]

[0086] As component (1), a compound having the following structural formula was synthesized according to the following procedure.

[0087] [ka] In the formula, k=1, m+n=17 , p=q=5, and R 1 and R 2 is a hydrogen atom is.

[0088] [Compound synthesis] A 300 ml four-neck glass flask equipped with a Liebig condenser, a thermometer, a silicon rubber stopper for nitrogen replacement, and a glass stopper was charged with 46 g of polycaprolactone-modified hydroxyethyl acrylate (unsaturated fatty acid hydroxyalkyl ester-modified ε-caprolactone, Plaxel FA1DDM, manufactured by Daicel Corporation, molecular weight: 230 g / mol) and 0.46 g of dibutylhydroxytoluene (reagent grade, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., molecular weight: 220) as a polymerization inhibitor. The flask was then placed on a magnetic stirrer with an oil bath and stirred at 23 °C for 30 minutes (stirring speed: 300 rpm) until the dibutylhydroxytoluene was completely dissolved. The flask was then cooled to 0 °C and 0.98 g of sulfuric acid (Wako Grade 1, manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., 98 g / mol) was added dropwise as an acid catalyst. To this solution, 14.6 g of adipic acid (reagent grade, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., molecular weight: 146 g / mol) was added and the mixture was stirred (stirring speed: 300 rpm) at 75°C for 5 hours under a nitrogen stream to allow the esterification reaction to proceed. To this solution, 29.6 g of phthalic anhydride (reagent grade, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., molecular weight: 148 g / mol), 34 g of 2,2-bis(4-glycidyloxyphenyl)propane (EXA-850CRP, manufactured by DIC Corporation, molecular weight: 340 g / mol), and 0.34 g of triphenylphosphine (Hokuko TPP, molecular weight: 262 g / mol) as a reaction catalyst were added. The mixture was stirred (300 rpm) at 80°C for 24 hours to allow the addition reaction to proceed. This yielded crude product A.

[0089] [Compound purification] The entire amount of crude product A obtained was placed in a 500 ml separatory funnel, and 126 ml of pure water was added. The mixture was shaken at room temperature for 3 minutes. The mixture was left to stand at room temperature for 3 hours, and after confirming that the contents had separated into two layers, the pure water layer was removed. This series of operations was repeated two more times, for a total of three times, to obtain a colorless, viscous liquid product A.

[0090] [Compound Identification] The obtained colorless viscous liquid product A was dissolved in deuterated chloroform (reagent grade, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) to prepare a 3% by mass solution, and then 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance measurement ( 1 H-NMR was performed. 1 The H-NMR analytical data was as follows: 1 H-NMR (CDCl3, 500.13 MHz): δ=7.82~7.65, 7.59~7.47, 7.14~7.06, 6.84~6.75, 6.47~6.37, 6.18~6.08, 5.88~5.80, 4.6 1~4.43, 4.41~4.40, 4.38~4.34, 4.33~4.28, 4.07~4.03, 2.38~2.27, 1.79~1.72, 1.70~1.57 This result supported the structure shown in the structural formula above.

[0091] 10 mg of the resulting colorless viscous liquid product A was dissolved in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran (stabilizer-free reagent grade, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), filtered through a membrane filter (PTFE, 0.50 μm), and subjected to gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis under the following measurement conditions. Standard material: Shodex STANDARD (Type: SL-105, manufactured by Showa Denko) Column: KF-801 (300 mm x 8.0 mm ID, Showa Denko) Column temperature: 40℃ Mobile phase: Tetrahydrofuran (stabilizer-free reagent grade, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) Flow rate: 1ml / min Detector: Differential refractive index detector The weight average molecular weight Mw obtained was 3,300.

[0092] To 100 parts by mass of the compound (1) obtained, 3.0 parts by mass of the photoinitiator "2,2-Dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (reagent grade, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.)" was added, and the mixture was placed in a designated plastic container and stirred at 2000 rpm for 3 minutes using a hybrid mixer "ARE-310 (manufactured by Thinky Corporation)". After stirring, the mixture was poured onto a PET film and coated to a thickness of 0.1 mm using a bar coater. This was then cured with an electrodeless discharge metal halide lamp-equipped UV curing device (manufactured by Fusion UV Systems Japan) using an integrated light dose of 3000 mJ / cm at a wavelength of 365 nm. 2 Photocuring was carried out under the conditions shown above to obtain a cured product of component (1) alone. This cured product was subjected to a tensile test in accordance with JIS K 7161-2:2014 using an Instron model 3365 universal testing machine (manufactured by Instron) at 23°C, and the tensile elongation was measured to be 113%. The tensile elongation is measured in %, indicating the increase in length from the cured product before the test.

[0099] <Formulation> The above raw materials were weighed as shown in the table below and added to a 1 L stainless steel flask. A stainless steel stirring blade was placed in the flask, and the mixture was stirred at 200 rpm for 24 hours using a Three-One motor to obtain a uniform viscous liquid.

[0100] <Evaluation> The samples obtained as described above were evaluated based on the following measurement methods. In the evaluation, the first and second agents shown in Tables 1 and 2 were mixed at the same mass ratio until homogeneous and then used.

[0101] Low-temperature flexibility: Tested in a -20°C atmosphere in accordance with JIS K 7161-1:2014. Test specimens were prepared using cured specimens shaped like 1BA dumbbells as specified in Appendix A of JIS K 7161-1:2014. Tensile tests were performed using a universal testing machine, Instron model 3365 (manufactured by Instron), and the measured tensile strain was calculated in %.

[0102] Resin adhesion: Test pieces (manufactured by Test Piece Co., Ltd.) made of Teijin's polycarbonate resin "Panlite L1225" were used as test pieces, measuring 2.0 x 25 x 100 mm, without any pretreatment. Tensile shear adhesive strength tests were performed at standard conditions (23°C) in accordance with JIS K 6850:1999 using an Instron model 4467 universal testing machine (manufactured by Instron). The shear strength was measured in MPa when the test pieces were overlapped and bonded together.

[0103] Metal adhesion: Zinc-plated chromate steel plates (manufactured by Test Piece Co., Ltd.) measuring 1.6 x 25 x 100 mm were purchased as test pieces and used as they were without any pretreatment. Tensile shear adhesive strength tests were performed at standard conditions (23°C) in accordance with JIS K 6850:1999 using an Instron model 4467 universal testing machine (manufactured by Instron). The shear strength was measured in MPa when the test pieces were overlapped and bonded together.

[0104] Heat cycle resistance / heat resistance: Test specimens were prepared using rectangular cured specimens measuring 0.5 × 5 × 40 mm. The storage modulus at 120°C was calculated in MPa using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (DMS7100, manufactured by SII Corporation) at a heating rate of 2°C / min, in the temperature range of -50 to 150°C, at a frequency of 1 Hz, and in tensile mode.

[0105] [Table 1]

[0106] [Table 2]

[0107] In Examples 1 to 3, which used as component (1) a reactive compound having an aromatic ring and a hydroxyl group and having a tensile elongation of 50% or more in the cured product measured in an atmosphere at 23°C according to JIS K 7161-2:2014, all showed excellent results in all evaluation items.

[0108] On the other hand, Comparative Example 1, which did not use component (1), exhibited poor low-temperature flexibility and resin adhesion. Conversely, Comparative Example 8, which used only component (1), also exhibited poor resin adhesion and metal adhesion. Furthermore, Comparative Examples 2 to 7, which used various control components, also exhibited poor performance in one or more of the following areas:

[0109] The composition provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the effect of exhibiting excellent flexibility, heat cycle resistance, and heat resistance, as well as excellent adhesion to both metals and resins.

[0110] Patent Document 4 reports a technology for improving the heat resistance of SGA by using zeolite. However, the required properties are becoming more sophisticated and diverse every year, and a balance of heat cycle resistance, heat resistance, and flexibility is required. Adding zeolite, an inorganic compound, to SGA generally reduces flexibility. In other words, the trade-off between heat cycle resistance, heat resistance, and flexibility has not been resolved. Specifically, with the conventional bisphenol A epoxy (meth)acrylate described in Patent Document 4, improving flexibility requires lengthening the heat-sensitive alkylene chain, which in turn sacrifices heat cycle resistance and heat resistance, and therefore has not been resolved.

[0111] The embodiments of the present invention can solve the above-mentioned problems.
