Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to organic fine particles, and in particular to fluorine-free organic fine particles. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, water repellency has been imparted to the surface of substrates such as metals, glass, paper, cloth, and plastics by chemical treatment of coating with fluororesin or silicone resin, etc. For example, it is known that coating with fluororesin can provide a water-repellent substrate surface with a water contact angle of approximately 120°.
[0003] In addition, by forming a fine uneven structure on the surface of a substrate, or by combining the formation of such a fine uneven structure on the surface of a substrate with the above-mentioned coating treatment, the substrate surface is imparted with superhydrophobicity, with a water contact angle of 150° or more. Methods for creating uneven structures include the use of fine particles and patterning methods such as etching. Patterning methods such as etching are limited in the range of materials and substrates that can be used.
[0004] When hydrophobic inorganic fine particles are used as the fine particles, a large amount of a dispersant such as an emulsifier is required to obtain an aqueous dispersion of the hydrophobic inorganic fine particles. If the hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic inorganic fine particles is reduced, that is, if hydrophobic inorganic fine particles with hydrophilic groups are used, dispersion in water becomes somewhat easier, but the hydrophobicity of the fine particles themselves decreases, and therefore the performance as a water repellent decreases.
[0005] On the other hand, there are methods such as soap-free polymerization and organic particle synthesis using small amounts of emulsifiers. These generally use hydrophilic monomers to disperse in water without emulsifiers or with only small amounts of emulsifiers, and most of the resulting particles are also hydrophilic. Because it is difficult to use highly hydrophobic monomers, it has been difficult to synthesize organic particles that exhibit water-repellent properties using soap-free polymerization or organic particle synthesis methods using small amounts of emulsifiers.
[0006] Previous literature (particularly patent publications) has disclosed that organic fine particles can be used to impart water repellency, but the examples have been limited to inorganic fine particles.
[0007] Patent Document 1 discloses a method for producing a water-repellent coating film, which includes a first step of forming an abrasion-resistant base film using fine particles (A) having an average particle size of 15 to 500 μm, a resin composition (B), and a solvent (C), and a second step of forming an ultra-water-repellent finish film using fine particles (a) having an average particle size of 5 to 500 nm and being hydrophobic, a resin composition (b), and a solvent (c). In the examples of Patent Document 1, the fine particles (a) used to form the ultra-water-repellent finish film are silica, which are inorganic fine particles. Patent Document 2 discloses a non-fluorine-containing polymer containing a structural unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer and a structural unit derived from a silicone oil having a (meth)acryloyl group.
[0008] In the past, synthetic fibers, especially polyester fibers, have been used widely in a variety of applications among textile products, but compared to natural fibers such as wool and silk, they are inferior in color density, depth, and clarity when dyed, and therefore tend to be evaluated as having low commercial value in the market.
[0009] To address these problems, various proposals have been made to improve the color strength, depth, vividness, and other properties of dyed products obtained from synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers. For example, a darkening agent has been proposed, which is composed of an aqueous dispersion of a polymer obtained by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer in the presence of a cationic surfactant, and which comprises a polymer having a refractive index of 1.50 or less and a glass transition temperature exceeding 110°C, and a polymer having a refractive index of 1.50 or less and a glass transition temperature below 20°C (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Such a darkening agent is said to provide a good darkening effect on textile products. However, in fibers that require water repellency, the darkening agent tends to reduce the water repellency.

[Effects of the Invention]
[0016] The organic fine particles and water repellent composition of the present disclosure can impart excellent water repellency (particularly, high water repellency) to substrates such as textiles. Textiles treated with the water repellent composition of the present disclosure exhibit excellent water droplet rolling off properties. Furthermore, since the rolling off speed is particularly high, the composition is suitable for applications requiring high water repellency. Compared to inorganic particles, organic particles have a more flexible main chain, which allows the particles themselves to become mobile when heated. Therefore, in water, the hydrophilic groups are localized on the outermost surface, allowing for stable dispersion. After application to a substrate and drying, the hydrophobic portions, which have low surface free energy, can be localized on the outermost surface. Even with hydrophilic particles, the hydrophobic portions segregate on the surface after application, resulting in highly water-repellent particles. While color-enhancing agents tend to reduce water repellency, the organic fine particles of the present disclosure can exert a color-enhancing effect without impairing water repellency.

Using a fully automatic contact angle meter (DropMaster701 manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science), 20 μL of water was dropped from a microsyringe onto the PET cloth tilted at 30 degrees, and the way the dropped water fell was measured using a high-speed camera (VW-9000 manufactured by Keyence Corporation). The average falling speed over a distance of approximately 40 mm was recorded as the falling speed.

Examples of the other monomer (6) include, for example, ethylene, vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile, vinyl chloride, styrene, polyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, polypropylene glycol (meth)acrylate, methoxypolyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, methoxypolypropylene glycol (meth)acrylate, and vinyl alkyl ether. The other monomer (6) is preferably a non-fluorine monomer. The other monomer is not limited to these examples.
[0075] As used herein, "(meth)acrylate" means acrylate or methacrylate, and "(meth)acrylamide" means acrylamide or methacrylamide.

[0078] Particularly preferred combinations are as follows: Monomer (1) + Monomer (3) + Monomer (4) Monomer (1) + Monomer (4) + Monomer (5) Monomer (2) + Monomer (3) + Monomer (4) Monomer (2) + Monomer (3) + Monomer (5) Monomer (1) + Monomer (2) + Monomer (3) + Monomer (4) Monomer (1) + Monomer (2) + Monomer (4) + Monomer (5) Monomer (1) + Monomer (3) + Monomer (4) + Monomer (5) Monomer (1) + Monomer (2) + Monomer (3) + Monomer (4) + Monomer (5)
[0079] In the polymer, the molar ratio of hydrophobic monomer (1) or (meth)acrylic monomer (2) / reactive hydrophilic monomer (3) / high glass transition point monomer (5) may be 20-100 / 0-50 / 0-70. Alternatively, the molar ratio of hydrophobic monomer (1) or (meth)acrylic monomer (2) / reactive hydrophilic monomer (3) / high glass transition point monomer (5) may be 20-99.9 / 0.1-50 / 0-70, preferably 20-99.5 / 0.5-50 / 0-68. The molar ratio of hydrophobic monomer (1) or (meth)acrylic monomer (2) / reactive hydrophilic monomer (3) may be 50-99 / 1-50, preferably 55-98 / 2-45. The molar ratio of the hydrophobic monomer (1) or (meth)acrylic monomer (2) to the high glass transition point monomer (5) may be 50 to 99 / 1 to 50, preferably 55 to 98 / 2 to 45. The crosslinkable monomer (4) may be 0.1 to 30 molar parts, for example 0.1 to 25 molar parts, per 100 molar parts in total of the hydrophobic monomer (1), the (meth)acrylic monomer (2), the high glass transition point monomer (5), and the reactive hydrophilic monomer (3).
[0080] Alternatively, the molar ratio of one or both of the hydrophobic monomer (1) and the (meth)acrylic monomer (2) to the reactive hydrophilic monomer (3) to the high glass transition point monomer (5) may be 50-95 / 0-30 / 0-30, 60-95 / 0-30, or 1-20 / 0-30, or 1-20, or 80-95 / 0-15, or 1-10 / 0-15, or 1-10, or 85-95 / 0-15, or 1-10 / 0-15, or 1-10. The amount of the crosslinkable monomer (4) may be 0-20 parts by weight, 1-15 parts by weight, or 2-10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymer.
[0081] The amount of the other monomer (6) may be 0 to 10% by weight, for example 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the polymer.
[0082] The water-repellent polymer may be a random polymer or a block copolymer, but is preferably a random polymer.
[0083] (B) Aqueous medium The water repellent composition contains an aqueous medium, which is water or a mixture of water and an organic solvent. The water repellent composition is generally an aqueous dispersion in which a polymer is dispersed in an aqueous medium (water or a mixture of water and an organic solvent). The aqueous medium may be water alone or a mixture of water and a (water-miscible) organic solvent. The amount of the organic solvent may be 30% by weight or less, for example 10% by weight or less, based on the liquid medium. The aqueous medium is preferably water alone. The amount of the aqueous medium may be 50 to 99.5 parts by weight, particularly 70 to 99.5 parts by weight, when the total of the water-repellent polymer and the aqueous medium is 100 parts by weight.
[0084] (C) Binder resin The binder resin functions as a binder that binds organic fine particles to the substrate. A water-repellent resin is preferred as the binder resin. The water-repellent resin also functions as an active ingredient that exhibits water repellency. Examples of binder resins include acrylic polymers, urethane polymers, polyolefins, polyesters, polyethers, polyamides, polyimides, polystyrenes, and silicone polymers. The water-repellent resin is a non-fluorine-containing polymer having a hydrocarbon group with 3 to 40 carbon atoms in the side chain, or a fluorine-containing polymer having a fluoroalkyl group with 1 to 20 carbon atoms in the side chain. The water-repellent resin is preferably a non-fluorine-containing polymer. In non-fluorine-containing polymers having a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms, the hydrocarbon group is preferably a branched hydrocarbon group or a long-chain (or long-chain linear) hydrocarbon group. The -CH3 group has a lower surface free energy than -CH2-, resulting in water repellency. Therefore, branched hydrocarbon groups (e.g., branched alkyl groups) are preferred, particularly structures with many branches and many -CH3 groups, such as t-butyl, isopropyl, and 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl groups. In the branched hydrocarbon group, the number of -CH3 groups is preferably 2 to 15, for example, 3 to 10, or 4 to 8. The carbon number of the long-chain hydrocarbon group (or long-chain linear hydrocarbon group) may be 7 to 40 or 12 to 30, for example, 16 to 26, and particularly 18 to 22. Examples of the water-repellent resin include urethane polymers, silicone polymers, acrylic polymers, and polystyrene. Examples of non-fluorinated polymers include amidoamine dendrimers with long hydrocarbon chains, which are described in U.S. Patent No. 8,703,894, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0085] A urethane polymer having a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms in its side chain can be produced, for example, by reacting an isocyanate group-containing compound (e.g., a monoisocyanate or polyisocyanate, specifically a diisocyanate or triisocyanate) with a hydroxyl group-containing compound having a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms. Polyurethanes having a branched structure such as t-butyl groups, isopropyl groups, or 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl groups in their side chains can be produced, for example, by reacting an isocyanate group-containing compound (e.g., a monoisocyanate or polyisocyanate, specifically a diisocyanate or triisocyanate) with a hydroxyl group-containing compound having a branched structure such as t-butyl groups, isopropyl groups, or 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl groups. Examples of urethane polymers include urethane compounds having long-chain hydrocarbon groups, such as sorbitan tristearate, sorbitan monostearate, and polyfunctional isocyanurates, as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2014 / 0295724, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Examples of urethane polymers include polyurethanes having long-chain hydrocarbon groups, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-519653 (International Publication No. 2018 / 007549), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0086] A silicone polymer having a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms in its side chain can be produced, for example, by reacting a dichlorosilane compound containing a dichlorosilane having a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms. Polysilicones having a branched structure such as t-butyl groups, isopropyl groups, or 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl groups in their side chains can be produced, for example, by reacting a dichlorosilane compound containing a dichlorosilane having a branched structure such as t-butyl groups, isopropyl groups, or 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl groups. An example of a silicone polymer is long-chain alkyl-modified polydimethylsiloxane.
[0087] An acrylic polymer having a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms in the side chain can be produced by polymerizing a monomer including an acrylic monomer having a hydrocarbon group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms in the side chain. Examples of the acrylic monomer are the same as those explained above for the hydrophobic monomer (1). Specific examples of the acrylic monomer include, for example: Stearyl (meth)acrylate, behenyl (meth)acrylate, TIFF0007759808000053.tif2351 (especially stearamidoethyl (meth)acrylate) [In the above formula, n is a number from 7 to 40, and m is a number from 1 to 5.] is.
[0088] An acrylic polymer having a branched structure such as a t-butyl group, an isopropyl group, or a 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl group in the side chain can be produced by polymerizing a monomer containing an acrylic monomer having a branched structure such as a t-butyl group, an isopropyl group, or a 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl group in the side chain. Examples of the acrylic monomer are the same as those described above for the hydrophobic monomer (1). Specific examples of the acrylic monomer include t-butyl (meth)acrylate, isopropyl (meth)acrylate, and 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl acrylate.
[0089] Examples of acrylic polymers include polymers containing repeating units derived from acrylic monomers having long-chain hydrocarbon groups, such as behenyl (meth)acrylate and stearyl (meth)acrylate, and repeating units derived from vinylidene chloride and / or vinyl chloride. Examples of acrylic polymers include polymers containing repeating units derived from an acrylic monomer having a long-chain hydrocarbon group, such as behenyl (meth)acrylate or stearyl (meth)acrylate, repeating units derived from vinylidene chloride and / or vinyl chloride, and repeating units derived from styrene or α-methylstyrene. These acrylic polymers may be used in combination with paraffin wax. Examples of such polymers are described in JP 2012-522062 (WO 2010 / 115496), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Examples of acrylic polymers include polymers containing repeating units derived from an acrylic monomer having a long-chain hydrocarbon group such as stearyl (meth)acrylate, repeating units derived from vinylidene chloride and / or vinyl chloride, and repeating units derived from a reactive emulsifier such as polyoxyalkylene alkenyl ether, and are described in JP 2017-25440 (WO 2017 / 014131), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0090] In the fluorine-containing polymer having a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms in the side chain, the fluoroalkyl group is preferably a perfluoroalkyl group. Examples of fluorine-containing water-repellent resins include fluorine-containing acrylic polymers containing repeating units formed from a (meth)acrylate having a perfluoroalkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms in the side chain and a long-chain alkyl (meth)acrylate such as behenyl (meth)acrylate or stearyl (meth)acrylate. Other monomers may be used in the non-fluorine-containing polymers and fluorine-containing polymers such as urethane polymers, silicone polymers, acrylic polymers and polystyrene. Examples of the other monomers include, but are not limited to, ethylene, vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile, vinyl chloride, polyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, polypropylene glycol (meth)acrylate, methoxypolyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, methoxypolypropylene glycol (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylate having polydimethylsiloxane on the side chain, and vinyl alkyl ether.
[0091] (D) Surfactant The water repellent composition may or may not contain a surfactant (emulsifier). Generally, to stabilize the particles during polymerization and the aqueous dispersion after polymerization, a small amount of surfactant (for example, 0.01 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the monomer) may be added during polymerization, or the surfactant may be added after polymerization. In particular, when the object to be treated is a textile product, the surfactant in the water repellent composition preferably contains a nonionic surfactant. Furthermore, the surfactant preferably contains one or more surfactants selected from cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants. It is preferable to use a combination of a nonionic surfactant and a cationic surfactant.
[0092] The nonionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, and amphoteric surfactant may each be one type or a combination of two or more types. The amount of surfactant may be 15 parts by weight or less (for example, 0 to 15 parts by weight or 0.01 to 15 parts by weight), preferably 8 parts by weight or less, per 100 parts by weight of organic fine particles (A). Generally, the addition of a surfactant improves the stability of the aqueous dispersion and the permeability into fabrics, but reduces water repellency. It is preferable to select the type and amount of surfactant so as to achieve both of these effects.
[0093] (E) Crosslinking agent The crosslinking agent (E) is preferably one that crosslinks when heated after the aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles is applied to the fabric, and is preferably one that is dispersed in water.
[0094] A preferred example of the crosslinking agent (E) is a blocked isocyanate compound. [A(NCO) m (wherein A is a group remaining after removal of the isocyanate group from the polyisocyanate, and m is an integer of 2 to 8). [R H (wherein R may be a hydrocarbon group which may be substituted with a heteroatom such as a nitrogen atom or an oxygen atom, and H is a hydrogen atom)].
[0095] A(NCO) m Examples of the isocyanate include tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). Examples of blocking agents that form R groups are oximes, phenols, alcohols, mercaptans, amides, imidazoles, ureas, amines, imines, pyrazoles and active methylene compounds.
[0096] The crosslinking agent (E) is preferably a blocked isocyanate such as oxime-blocked toluene diisocyanate, blocked hexamethylene diisocyanate, or blocked diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The amount of the crosslinking agent (E) may be 0 to 30 parts by weight or 0.01 to 20 parts by weight, for example, 0.1 to 15 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of the organic fine particles (A) and the binder resin (C).
[0097] (F) Additives The water repellent composition may contain an additive (F) in addition to the organic fine particles (A) and the aqueous medium (B), and, if necessary, the binder resin (C), the surfactant (D) and / or the crosslinking agent (E). Examples of additives include other water repellents, oil repellents, drying speed regulators, film-forming aids, compatibilizers, antifreeze agents, viscosity modifiers, UV absorbers, antioxidants, pH adjusters, defoamers, texture modifiers, slippage modifiers, antistatic agents, hydrophilizing agents, antibacterial agents, preservatives, insect repellents, fragrances, flame retardants, etc. The amount of the additive may be 0 to 20 parts by weight, or 0.05 to 20 parts by weight, for example 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of the organic fine particles (A) and the binder resin (C).
[0098] The polymers (polymers constituting the organic fine particles and polymers constituting the binder resin) can be produced by any of the usual polymerization methods, and the polymerization reaction conditions can be selected arbitrarily. Such polymerization methods include solution polymerization, suspension polymerization, and emulsion polymerization. Emulsion polymerization is preferred.
[0099] As long as a water repellent composition in the form of an aqueous dispersion can be obtained, the method for producing the polymer is not limited. For example, a polymer (organic fine particles) can be produced by polymerizing a monomer for organic fine particles in an aqueous medium in the presence or absence of a surfactant. Alternatively, an aqueous dispersion can be obtained by producing a polymer by solution polymerization, followed by adding a surfactant and water and removing the solvent.
[0100] When the water repellent composition contains organic fine particles and a binder resin, the production of an aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles and the production of an aqueous dispersion of the binder resin are carried out separately, and the aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles and the aqueous dispersion of the binder resin are mixed to produce a water repellent composition containing organic fine particles and a binder resin. Alternatively, the water repellent composition containing organic fine particles and a binder resin can be produced by polymerizing a monomer for the binder resin in an aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles. Furthermore, the water repellent composition containing organic fine particles and a binder resin can be produced by polymerizing a monomer for the organic fine particles in an aqueous dispersion of the binder resin.
[0101] In emulsion polymerization without using a surfactant, it is preferable to polymerize the monomer in an aqueous medium at a low concentration (for example, a monomer concentration of 1 to 30% by weight, particularly 1 to 15% by weight).
[0102] In emulsion polymerization using a surfactant or a reactive emulsifier, it is preferable to add a small amount (30 parts by mole or less, for example, 0.1 to 20 parts by mole per 100 parts by mole of the total monomers) of monomer (1) or monomer (2) whose homopolymer has a static water contact angle of 95 degrees or more. This allows polymerization at a high concentration and improves the water repellency of the polymer. Examples of the additional monomers include t-butylstyrene, stearyl (meth)acrylate, behenyl (meth)acrylate, 2,6,8-trimethylnonan-4-yl acrylate, 2,4-di-t-butylstyrene, 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene, stearamidoethyl (meth)acrylate, CH2=CHC(=O)OC2H4NHSO2C 18 H 37、 4-t-butylphenyl (meth)acrylate, 2,3,4-methylphenyl (meth)acrylate, and A (meth)acrylic monomer having a polydimethylsiloxane group. CH2=C(-R 92 )-C(=O)-Y 91 -R 91 [In the formula, R 91is a group having a polydimethylsiloxane group, R 92 is a hydrogen atom, a monovalent organic group, or a halogen atom, Y 91 is a divalent to tetravalent group consisting of at least one selected from a divalent to tetravalent hydrocarbon group having 1 carbon atom, -C6H4-, -O-, -C(=O)-, -S(=O)2-, and -NR'- (R' is H or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms). It is a monomer represented by the formula: When the ratio of the monomer (5) and the monomer (3) to the total monomers constituting the organic fine particles is 35 parts by mole or more, the monomer (1) having a static water contact angle of 95 degrees or more is preferably 1 to 70 parts by mole, for example 1 to 60 parts by mole.
[0103] In solution polymerization, a method is employed in which a monomer is dissolved in an organic solvent in the presence of a polymerization initiator, and after purging with nitrogen, the mixture is heated and stirred at a temperature in the range of 30 to 120°C for 1 to 10 hours. Examples of polymerization initiators include azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate, and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. The polymerization initiator is used in an amount of 0.01 to 20 parts by mole, for example, 0.01 to 10 parts by mole, per 100 parts by mole of the monomer.
[0104] The organic solvent is inert to the monomers and dissolves or uniformly disperses them, and may be, for example, an ester (e.g., an ester having 2 to 30 carbon atoms, specifically, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate), a ketone (e.g., a ketone having 2 to 30 carbon atoms, specifically, methyl ethyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone), or an alcohol (e.g., an alcohol having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, specifically, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, or methanol). Specific examples of the organic solvent include acetone, chloroform, HCHC225, isopropyl alcohol, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, tetrachlorodifluoroethane, and trichlorotrifluoroethane. The organic solvent is used in an amount of 50 to 99.5 parts by weight, for example, 70 to 99 parts by weight, assuming that the total of the monomer and the organic solvent is 100 parts by weight.
[0105] In emulsion polymerization, the monomers are emulsified in water in the presence of a polymerization initiator and an emulsifier, and after nitrogen substitution, the mixture is stirred at a temperature of 30 to 80°C for 1 to 10 hours to polymerize. Polymerization initiators include benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, t-butyl perbenzoate, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl hydroperoxide, 3-carboxypropionyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, azobisisobutylamidine dihydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride, 4,4'-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid), 2,2'-azobis[2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide], 2,2'-azobis[2- Examples of suitable initiators include water-soluble initiators such as 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane], sodium peroxide, potassium persulfate, and ammonium persulfate, and oil-soluble initiators such as azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate, and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. The polymerization initiator is used in an amount of 0.01 to 10 moles per 100 moles of monomer. If necessary, a reducing agent such as Rongalit, ascorbic acid, tartaric acid, sodium disulfite, isoascorbic acid, or ferrous sulfate may be used in combination.
[0106] As the emulsifier, various anionic, cationic, or nonionic emulsifiers can be used, and are used in the range of 0.5 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the monomer. It is preferable to use an anionic and / or nonionic and / or cationic emulsifier. If the monomers are not completely compatible with each other, it is also preferable to add a compatibilizer, such as a water-soluble organic solvent, that can fully compatibilize these monomers. Addition of a compatibilizer can improve emulsifiability and copolymerizability.
[0107] Examples of the water-soluble organic solvent include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, ethanol, and methanol, and these may be used in an amount of 0.1 to 50 parts by weight, for example, 1 to 40 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of water.
[0108] A chain transfer agent may be used in the polymerization. The molecular weight of the polymer can be changed depending on the amount of chain transfer agent used. Examples of chain transfer agents include mercaptan group-containing compounds such as lauryl mercaptan, thioglycol, and thioglycerol (particularly alkyl mercaptans (e.g., having 1 to 30 carbon atoms)), and inorganic salts such as sodium hypophosphite and sodium hydrogen sulfite. The amount of chain transfer agent used may be in the range of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, for example, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the total amount of monomers.
[0109] The water repellent composition is generally preferably an aqueous dispersion. The water repellent composition comprises a polymer (the active ingredient of the water repellent composition) and an aqueous medium. The amount of the aqueous medium may be, for example, 50 to 99.9 wt %, particularly 70 to 99.5 wt %, based on the water repellent composition. In the water repellent composition, the concentration of the polymer may be 0.1 to 50% by weight, for example, 0.5 to 40% by weight.
[0110] The water repellent composition (and the aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles) can be used as an external treatment agent (surface treatment agent) or an internal treatment agent. The water repellent composition (and the aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles) can be used as an oil repellent, an antifouling agent, a soil release agent, a stripping agent, or a mold release agent.
[0111] When the water repellent composition is an external treatment agent, it can be applied to the substrate by a conventionally known method. Typically, the water repellent composition is dispersed and diluted in an organic solvent or water, and then applied to the surface of the substrate by a known method such as dip coating, spray coating, or foam coating, followed by drying. If necessary, the water repellent composition may be applied together with an appropriate crosslinking agent (e.g., blocked isocyanate) and cured. Furthermore, the water repellent composition may be used in combination with an insect repellent, a softener, an antibacterial agent, a flame retardant, an antistatic agent, a paint fixative, or an anti-wrinkle agent. The polymer concentration in the treatment solution to be brought into contact with the substrate may be 0.01 to 10% by weight (particularly in the case of dip coating), for example, 0.05 to 10% by weight.
[0112] Examples of materials to be treated with the water repellent composition (and the aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles) include textiles, stone, filters (e.g., electrostatic filters), dust masks, fuel cell components (e.g., gas diffusion electrodes and gas diffusion supports), glass, paper, wood, leather, fur, asbestos, brick, cement, metals and oxides, ceramic products, plastics, painted surfaces, and plaster. Examples of textiles include natural fibers of animal and plant origin, such as cotton, hemp, wool, and silk; synthetic fibers, such as polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene; semi-synthetic fibers, such as rayon and acetate; inorganic fibers, such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, and asbestos fiber; and mixtures of these fibers.
[0113] The textile product may be in the form of fiber, cloth, or the like. The water repellent composition can also be used as a stain repellent, release agent, or mold release agent (e.g., internal or external mold release agent), for example, to easily release the surface of a substrate from another surface (another surface of the substrate or a surface of another substrate).
[0114] The organic microparticles can be applied to a fibrous substrate (e.g., a textile) by any of the known methods for treating textiles with a liquid. When the textile is a fabric, the fabric may be immersed in the solution, or the solution may be applied or sprayed onto the fabric. The treated textile is dried and preferably heated, for example, at 100°C to 200°C, to develop water repellency.
[0115] Alternatively, the organic microparticles may be applied to the textile by a cleaning process, such as in a laundry application or a dry cleaning process.
[0116] When the organic fine particles are attached to a substrate and then heat-treated at 170°C for 1 minute, the average diameter of the organic fine particles after the heat treatment is preferably 50% or more of the average diameter of the organic fine particles before the heat treatment.The average diameter (average particle size) of the organic fine particles after the heat treatment is preferably 60% or more, for example, 70% or more of the average diameter (average particle size) of the organic fine particles before the heat treatment.Alternatively, after the particles are applied to a substrate (including cloth), the average particle size of the fine particles observable on the substrate is preferably 50 to 700 nm. The average diameter of organic fine particles before heat treatment is the particle size of the fine particles measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) from an aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles (if two or more peaks are observed in the DLS measurement, the average particle size calculated from only the smaller peak is used, rather than the average particle size of all peaks), or the average diameter of organic fine particles attached to a substrate before heat treatment. If the two values differ, the smaller one is used.
[0117] The average diameter of organic microparticles on a substrate refers to the average diameter of 10 randomly selected, independent, smallest particle size observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) after the organic microparticles have been attached to the substrate. Generally, the average diameter of organic microparticles after heat treatment refers to the average diameter of 10 randomly selected, independent, smallest particle size observed on the substrate under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) after a dispersion of organic microparticles has been applied to a substrate (e.g., cloth) and heat-treated at 170°C for 1 minute. For example, when the substrate is cloth, a cloth with organic microparticles attached can be produced by immersing the cloth in an aqueous dispersion containing organic microparticles, passing it through a mangle, and then passing it through a pin tenter at 170°C for 1 minute. The average diameter of organic microparticles before heat treatment refers to the average diameter of 10 randomly selected, independent, smallest particle size observed on the substrate under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) after the dispersion of organic microparticles has been applied to a substrate (e.g., cloth) and air-dried for at least 1 hour.
[0118] The textiles to be treated are typically fabrics, including woven, knitted and nonwoven fabrics, textiles in the form of apparel and carpets, but may also be fibres or yarns or intermediate textile products (such as slivers or rovings). The textile material may be natural fibres (such as cotton or wool), man-made fibres (such as viscose rayon or leocell), or synthetic fibres (such as polyester, polyamide or acrylic fibres), or may be a mixture of fibres (such as a mixture of natural and synthetic fibres).
[0119] Alternatively, the fibrous substrate may be leather. The organic microparticles may be applied to the leather from an aqueous solution or emulsion at various stages of leather processing, for example, during wet processing of the leather or during finishing of the leather, to render the leather hydrophobic and oleophobic. Alternatively, the fibrous substrate may be paper. The organic particulates may be applied to preformed paper or may be applied at various stages of papermaking, for example, during the drying period of the paper.
[0120] "Treatment" means applying a treatment agent to an object to be treated by immersion, spraying, coating, etc. Through treatment, organic fine particles, which are the active ingredients of the treatment agent, penetrate into the interior of the object to be treated and / or adhere to the surface of the object to be treated.
[0121] It is preferred that the treated substrate (particularly textile products) has a water rolling speed of 100 mm / s or more, for example 130 mm / s or more, or even 150 mm / s or more or 200 mm / s or more. The treated substrate exhibits the effect of preventing frost formation.
[0122] Although the embodiments have been described above, it will be understood that various changes in form and details can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. [Example]
[0123] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but the present disclosure is not limited to these examples. In the following, parts, % or ratios represent parts by weight, % by weight or ratios by weight unless otherwise specified. The test procedure is as follows:
[0124] [Number average molecular weight (Mn), weight average molecular weight (Mw), molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn)] The number average molecular weight (Mn), weight average molecular weight (Mw), and molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using tetrahydrofuran as a developing solvent and Shodex KF-606M, KF-601, and KF-800D columns, and the molecular weights were calculated in terms of polystyrene.
[0125] [Measurement of thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)] The melting point of the polymer was calculated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The DSC measurement was performed by cooling to -20°C under a nitrogen atmosphere, then heating to 200°C at 10°C / min, cooling again to -20°C, and measuring the melting point observed during the subsequent heating process to 200°C at 10°C / min. For polymers exhibiting multiple melting peaks, the peak with the greatest heat of fusion resulting from the melting of the long-chain alkyl was taken as the melting point. The glass transition temperature was determined as the midpoint between the intersection of the extensions of the baselines before and after the second-order transition of the DSC curve and the tangent to the inflection point of the DSC curve.
[0126] [Measurement of particle size of dispersion] Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements were performed using a Malvern ZEN1600 to determine the average particle diameter in the dispersion. The aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles was diluted with pure water to a solids concentration of 0.1% and measurements were performed at 25°C. Analysis of particle size distribution was performed based on scattering intensity.
[0127] [Static contact angle measurement] (Synthesis examples L1~L5) A chloroform solution of the polymer (solids concentration 1.0%) was spin-coated onto a silicon wafer substrate (high-purity silicon wafer for research, AS ONE 2-960-55) and heated at 80°C for 15 minutes to produce a coating. 2 μL of water was dropped onto this coating, and the static contact angle 1 second after the drop landed was measured using a fully automatic contact angle meter (DropMaster 701, manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science).
[0128] (Organic fine particles) The contact angle of the organic fine particles was measured by drop-casting an aqueous dispersion of the organic fine particles onto a glass substrate (soda-lime glass slide) and heating it at 150°C for 3 minutes to prepare a substrate with organic fine particles attached, dropping 2 μL of water onto the glass substrate with the organic fine particles attached, and measuring the static contact angle 1 second after the drop landed using a fully automatic contact angle meter (DropMaster 701 manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.). The contact angle of the organic fine particles on the glass substrate is preferably 100° or more, more preferably 110° or more, and even more preferably 118° or more.
[0129] The static contact angle of water on a cloth (PET cloth) treated with an aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles or a composition containing organic fine particles and a binder resin was 88 g / m2. 2 PET cloth (70 denier, gray) was immersed in an aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles or a composition containing organic fine particles and a binder resin, then passed through a mangle and a pin tenter at 170°C for 1 minute to prepare a PET cloth with organic fine particles attached. 2 μL of water was dropped onto the PET cloth, and the static contact angle 1 second after the drop was measured using a fully automatic contact angle meter (DropMaster 701, manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science). The contact angle of the organic fine particles on the cloth (PET cloth) is preferably 120° or more, more preferably 130° or more, and even more preferably 140° or more. The contact angle of the aqueous dispersion of the binder resin was measured by drop-casting the aqueous dispersion of the binder resin onto a glass substrate (soda-lime glass slide), heating it at 150°C for 3 minutes to form a coating film, dropping 2 μL of water onto this coating film, and measuring the static contact angle 1 second after the drop had landed using a fully automatic contact angle meter (DropMaster 701, manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science).
[0130] [Fall speed test] In the falling speed test, PET cloth (basis weight: 88 g / m 2 PET cloth (70 denier, gray) was immersed in an aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles or a composition containing organic fine particles and a binder resin, and then passed through a mangle and a pin tenter at 170°C for 1 minute to prepare a PET cloth with organic fine particles attached. Using a fully automatic contact angle meter (DropMaster 701 manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science), 20 μL of water was dropped from a microsyringe onto the PET cloth tilted at 30°, and the way the dropped water fell was measured using a high-speed camera (VW-9000 manufactured by Keyence Corporation). The average falling speed over a distance of approximately 40 mm was recorded as the falling speed.
[0131] [Solid content measurement] 1 g of the obtained aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles was placed in an aluminum cup and dried for 1 hour at 150° C. The solid content was calculated from the weight before and after drying. Solid content % = (weight before drying - weight after drying) / weight before drying x 100
[0132] [Water repellency test] An aqueous dispersion of organic fine particles was prepared to a predetermined concentration, and a cloth was immersed in the test solution and then passed through a mangle. The water repellency of the heat-treated test cloth was evaluated. The water repellency of the treated cloth was evaluated according to the spray method of JIS-L-1092 (AATCC-22). The water repellency is expressed by a water repellency number as shown in the table below. The higher the number, the better the water repellency. A "+" next to a number means that the cloth is better than that number, and a "-" means that the cloth is worse than that number. Polyester cloth (PET) (basis weight: 88 g / m 2 The evaluation was carried out using a 70 denier, gray fabric.

[0134] [Strong water repellency test] When testing using the spray method of JIS-L-1092 (AATCC-22), the ease with which water splashes onto the fabric and the speed at which it flows off the fabric were visually evaluated. The higher the score, the better the water repellency.
[0135] TIFF0007759808000055.tif73160
[0136] [Washing durability of water repellency and strong water repellency (water repellency (after washing) and strong water repellency (after washing))] Washing is repeated 20 times according to JIS L-0217-103, and the water repellency and strong water repellency are evaluated afterwards. After washing, the water repellency is preferably 80 points or more, and the strong water repellency is preferably 2 points or more.
[0137] [Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation (particle size)] SEM observations were performed using an ERA9000 manufactured by ELONIX at an accelerating voltage of 3.5 kV with Pt vapor deposition at a working distance of 5.0 mm, and an SU8020 manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies at an accelerating voltage of 3.0 kV with Pt vapor deposition. The particle size determined by both instruments was the same. A cloth was immersed in a composition containing organic fine particles, and then passed through a mangle and a pin tenter at 170°C for 1 minute to create a cloth with the organic fine particles attached. The average particle diameter of 10 independent smallest units randomly selected from the cloth was then determined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The particle diameter retention rate (%) before and after heating was calculated using the average particle diameter of the organic microparticles on the substrate after heating determined by SEM observation (the average diameter of the particles on the cloth heated at 170°C for 1 minute) and the average particle diameter of the organic microparticles before heating (the smaller of the average particle diameter of the microparticle dispersion determined by DLS measurement or the average particle diameter on the substrate before heating determined by SEM observation) according to the following formula. Retention rate of average particle diameter before and after heating (%) = (average particle diameter after heating) / (average particle diameter before heating) x 100
[0138] [Dark color measurement] L was measured at three points on each treated fabric using a color difference meter (Minolta Co., Ltd., color difference meter CR-200, detection area is a circle with a diameter of 8 mm). The color difference (ΔL) was calculated from the L of the fabric before and after treatment with the treatment solution using the following formula. ΔL = (L value after fabric treatment) - (L value before fabric treatment)
