[0010] The polymerizable composition of the present invention will be described in detail below. The polymerizable composition of the present invention contains a phosphorus-based antioxidant (A), a cationic polymerizable compound (B), and a cationic polymerization initiator (C). By combining the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A), the cationic polymerizable compound (B), and the cationic polymerization initiator (C), the cured product of the polymerizable composition exhibits excellent moist heat resistance. Furthermore, the cured product also exhibits excellent heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties. An antioxidant is a compound that prevents components contained in a polymerizable composition from being oxidized in the presence of oxygen. A phosphorus-based antioxidant is an antioxidant that contains a phosphorus atom in the molecule.

The phosphorus-based antioxidant (A) preferably has 1 to 4 phosphorus atoms in the molecule, more preferably 1 or 2 phosphorus atoms, because this further improves the moist heat resistance of the cured product of the polymerizable composition, and also improves the heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties of the cured product. From the same viewpoint, the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A) preferably has at least one oxygen atom in the molecule, more preferably 2 to 10 oxygen atoms, and even more preferably 3 to 6 oxygen atoms, so that the cured product of the polymerizable composition has better moist heat resistance, and the cured product also has better heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties.

[0012] In the present invention, the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A) preferably has a group represented by the following general formula (I), because this leads to further improved moist heat resistance of the cured product of the polymerizable composition, and also leads to improved heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties of the cured product.

Examples of the alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms include R 1 Among alkyl groups having 1 to 30 carbon atoms represented by the following formula, those having 1 to 4 carbon atoms can be mentioned.

From the same viewpoint, the alkyl group is preferably linear.

In the present invention, the aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group also includes an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 5 to 14 carbon atoms.

The aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having a polycyclic structure may have a fused ring structure or may have two linked aromatic hydrocarbon rings. The aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group in which two aromatic hydrocarbon rings are linked may be one in which two aromatic hydrocarbon rings of a monocyclic structure are linked, one in which an aromatic hydrocarbon ring of a monocyclic structure is linked to an aromatic hydrocarbon ring of a fused ring structure, or one in which an aromatic hydrocarbon ring of a fused ring structure is linked to an aromatic hydrocarbon ring of a fused ring structure. The linking group that links the two aromatic hydrocarbon rings may be any group that can impart aromaticity to the aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group as a whole, and examples thereof include a single bond, a sulfide group (-S-), and a carbonyl group.

[0023] In the present invention, the wet heat resistance of the cured product of the polymerizable composition is further improved, and the heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties of the cured product are also improved. 1 and R2 is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms which may have a substituent. R 1 and R 2 When is an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, the cured product of the polymerizable composition will have better moist heat resistance, and the cured product will also have better heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties.

Also R 1 and R 2 When a is an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, a is preferably 1, because the cured product of the polymerizable composition has better moist heat resistance, and the cured product also has good heat resistance, adhesion, and optical properties. When a is 1, the cured product of the polymerizable composition has better moist heat resistance, and the cured product also has good heat resistance, adhesion, and optical properties. Therefore, when a is 1, the group bonded to the bond is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, more preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms which has a substituent, even more preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 7 to 20 carbon atoms and a monocyclic structure substituted with at least one alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and most preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 7 to 20 carbon atoms and a monocyclic structure substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms at least at the para-position relative to the bonding position of the bond. From the same viewpoint, it is preferable that the aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms is directly bonded to the benzene ring in general formula (II). Examples of the aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms that is bonded to the bond and the alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms that substitutes the aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group include R 1Examples of the groups include those similar to those explained for the groups represented by the following formulae:

[0024] In the present invention, the wet heat resistance of the cured product of the polymerizable composition is further improved, and the heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties of the cured product are also improved. 1 and R 2 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, and a is preferably 1. R 1 and R 2 When is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, the cured product of the polymerizable composition will have better moist heat resistance, and the cured product will also have better heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties. Therefore, the aliphatic hydrocarbon group is preferably an alkyl group having 7 to 17 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, and more preferably an alkyl group having 9 to 15 carbon atoms which does not have a substituent. When a is 1, the moist heat resistance of the cured product of the polymerizable composition is further improved, and the heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties of the cured product are also improved, so it is preferable that the group bonded to the benzene ring in general formula (II) is also represented by general formula (II). From the same viewpoint, it is preferable that the groups represented by general formula (II) are directly bonded to each other.

[0025] The number of carbon atoms of a group defined in the present invention includes the number of carbon atoms of the substituent. For example, a methylphenyl group is an aromatic hydrocarbon ring-containing group having 7 carbon atoms.

[0028] In the present invention, since the handling property of the polymerizable composition is good, it is preferable that the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A) is a liquid at 25 °C and 1 atm.

The cationically polymerizable compound (B) preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of alicyclic epoxy compounds (B1), aliphatic epoxy compounds (B2), and aromatic epoxy compounds (B3), because this further improves the wet heat resistance of the polymerizable composition and also improves the heat resistance and adhesiveness of the cured product.

Combining the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A) with a radically polymerizable composition and a radical polymerization initiator does not achieve the effect of the present invention of obtaining a cured product with good moist heat resistance. Furthermore, a cured product of a polymerizable composition containing a radically polymerizable composition and a radical polymerization initiator exhibits poor adhesion. Therefore, it is preferable that the polymerizable composition of the present invention does not contain a radically polymerizable composition or a radical polymerization initiator.

[0084] In the polymerizable composition of the present invention, the total amount of optional components other than the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A), the cationically polymerizable compound (B), and the cationic polymerization initiator (C) varies depending on the application of the present invention, but from the viewpoint of further enhancing the effects of the present invention, it is preferably 20 parts by mass or less, particularly 10 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the cationically polymerizable compound (A).

For example, substrates to which the polymerizable composition can be applied as a coating agent include metal, wood, rubber, plastic, glass, and ceramic products. The polymerizable composition of the present invention uses a combination of a phosphorus-based antioxidant (A), a cationic polymerizable compound (B), and a cationic polymerization initiator (C), thereby providing a cured product with excellent moist heat resistance and adhesive properties. Furthermore, the use of these components in combination also provides the polymerizable composition of the present invention with excellent adhesive properties and optical properties. Therefore, the polymerizable composition of the present invention is particularly useful as an adhesive.

[0086] The photocurable adhesive of the present invention contains the polymerizable composition of the present invention. Because the photocurable adhesive of the present invention contains the polymerizable composition of the present invention, it has excellent moist heat resistance. In addition, the photocurable adhesive of the present invention also has excellent heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties.

[0087] Next, the cured product of the present invention will be described. The cured product of the present invention is a cured product of the polymerizable composition of the present invention, and can be produced by irradiating the polymerizable composition with active energy rays or by heating the polymerizable composition.

[0112] The cured products of the polymerizable compositions prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples were evaluated for moist heat resistance, heat resistance, adhesiveness, and optical properties by the following methods. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0113] <Adhesion test> The compositions prepared in the examples and comparative examples were each applied to a TAC film (FUJITAC TD80 manufactured by FUJIFILM Corporation) so that the film thickness after curing would be 3 μm, forming a coating film. Next, a corona discharge-treated COP (cycloolefin polymer, manufactured by ZEON Corporation: product number ZEONORFILM 14-060) film was laminated using a laminator to the surface of the TAC film on which the coating film had been formed, to obtain a laminate. Then, an electrodeless ultraviolet lamp was used to apply 1000 mJ / cm 2 The laminate was irradiated with light equivalent to 1000 kJ / cm 2 through a COP film and bonded to prepare a test specimen. The obtained test specimen was stored at 30°C, 50% RH, and atmospheric pressure for 12 hours after exposure. A 2.0 cm wide sample was then cut from the test specimen to obtain an evaluation sample. A 90° peel test was performed on the obtained sample, and the adhesiveness of the evaluation sample was evaluated according to the following criteria. The 90° peel test was performed at 30°C, 50% RH, and atmospheric pressure. The higher the N / 2cm value, the better the adhesiveness. A: 2.5N / 2cm or more or substrate destruction B: 1.5N / 2cm or more, less than 2.5N / 2cm C: 0.5N / 2cm or more, less than 1.5N / 2cm D: Less than 0.5N / 2cm.

[0114] <Heat and humidity resistance test> Test pieces were obtained in the same manner as in the adhesion test. The obtained test pieces were kept in an environment of 85°C and 85% RH for 500 hours. After that, the test pieces were cooled to room temperature, and then a 90° peel test was performed on the test pieces in the same manner as in the adhesion test, and the moist heat resistance of the evaluation sample was evaluated according to the following criteria. The larger the value of N / 2cm, the better the moist heat resistance. A:1.5N / 2cm or more B: 1.0N / 2cm or more and less than 1.5N / 2cm C: 0.5N / 2cm or more, less than 1.0N / 2cm D: Less than 0.5N / 2cm

[0115] <Optical property test> Each of the polymerizable compositions prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples was applied to a glass plate so that the film thickness after curing would be 50 μm, and then another glass plate was laminated to the surface of the glass plate on which the coating film had been formed. The laminated glass plates were irradiated with 1000 mJ / cm using a high-pressure Hg lamp. 2 The glass plate was then heated at 150°C for 1 hour to obtain a test piece. The b* of the obtained test piece was measured using an ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectrophotometer V-670 (manufactured by JASCO Corporation), and the optical properties of the test piece were evaluated according to the following criteria. The smaller the b* value, the better the optical properties. A: b* of the cured product is less than 5 B: b* of the cured product is 5 or more and less than 10 C: b* of the cured product is 10 or more

[0116] <Heat resistance test> Test pieces were obtained in the same manner as in the optical property test. The b* of the obtained test pieces was measured using an ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectrophotometer V-670 (manufactured by JASCO Corporation). Next, the test pieces were kept in an environment of 85°C and 85% RH for 500 hours, and then the b* of the test pieces was measured. The heat resistance of the test pieces was then evaluated according to the following criteria. The smaller the Δb*, the better the heat resistance. A:Δb*<3 B:3≦Δb*<5 C:5≦Δb*<8 D:8≦Δb*

[0118] [Table 2]

[0119] As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the cured products of the polymerizable compositions of Examples 1 to 17 were excellent in moist heat resistance. These cured products also had excellent heat resistance, adhesion, and optical properties. In contrast, the cured product of the polymerizable composition of Comparative Example 1, which did not contain the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A), was poor in moist heat resistance and heat resistance. The cured product of the polymerizable composition of Comparative Example 2, which contained another component (A'-1) instead of the phosphorus-based antioxidant (A), was poor in moist heat resistance and heat resistance, as well as adhesion and optical properties. Furthermore, the cured products of the polymerizable compositions of Comparative Examples 3 and 4, which used a radically polymerizable compound and a radical initiator instead of the cationic polymerizable compound (B) and the cationic polymerization initiator (C), were poor in moist heat resistance and adhesion.
