Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a heat-weldable film suitable for easily and firmly welding the same or different types of substrates, a method for producing the same, a bonded body using the heat-weldable film, and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, from the perspective of reducing product weight and improving performance, the use of multi-material components has been progressing in various fields, such as automobile parts, medical equipment, and home appliances. This has created a need for technologies to join dissimilar materials, such as resin, metal, and CFRP.
[0003] The methods used to join dissimilar materials include mechanical joining, adhesive joining, and welding. Of these, welding is a particularly reliable and productive joining method. Welding is a technique that joins materials by heating them to above their melting point, applying pressure, and cooling them. Conventional welding methods include ultrasonic welding, vibration welding, heat welding, hot air welding, and induction welding.
[0004] Welding is a common joining method used to join similar thermoplastic resin materials, but depending on the welding method and the type of resin, the resulting joint strength may not be sufficient. Due to damage to the base material during welding, the resulting joint strength is often only 50-80% of the original base material strength. For this reason, improvements to welding methods are being made.
[0005] As an improved welding method, there is a technique of joining substrates via a heat-weldable film. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a heat-weldable film made of a modified polyolefin resin composition, which is a heat-weldable film that enables adhesion of polyolefin resins, which have poor adhesive properties. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-210842 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] However, the technique of Patent Document 1 has a problem in that the strength of the heat-weldable film made of the modified polyolefin resin composition itself is low, and therefore sufficient bonding strength cannot be achieved.
[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above technical background, and aims to provide a heat-sealable film and related technologies that ensure sufficient bonding strength even in a method of welding via the heat-sealable film. The related technologies mean a method for manufacturing a heat-sealable film, a bonded body using the heat-sealable film, and a method for manufacturing the same. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following means. In this specification, "bonding" means joining two objects together, and adhesion and welding are subordinate concepts. Adhesion means joining two adherends (objects to be bonded) together using an organic material such as tape or adhesive (thermosetting resin, thermoplastic resin, etc.), and welding means melting the surface of the adherend, such as thermoplastic resin, by heat, and joining the two objects by entanglement and crystallization caused by molecular diffusion through contact pressure and cooling.

[0033] The organic layer 3 is a polymerizable composition containing at least one of the above (1) to (6) and (8) to (13) other than the above (7), and can be obtained by subjecting the polymerizable composition to a polyaddition reaction in the presence of a catalyst. Suitable catalysts for the polyaddition reaction include, for example, triethylamine, tertiary amines such as 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, and phosphorus compounds such as triphenylphosphine. The polyaddition reaction is preferably carried out by heating at room temperature to 200°C for 5 to 120 minutes, although this depends on the composition of the composition. The organic layer 3 is preferably integrated with the core film 2 by a method of polyaddition-reacting a polymerizable composition containing at least one of (1) to (6) and (8) to (13) on the surface of the core film 2 (so-called in-situ polymerization). A bonded structure in which substrates are bonded via a heat-sealable film obtained by polyaddition-reacting the polymerizable composition on the surface of the core film 2 exhibits particularly excellent bonding strength. While the details of the mechanism are unclear, it is presumed that the main factors are the formation of some kind of chemical bond at the interface between the organic layers 3 on both sides of the heat-sealable film 1 and each substrate, and the formation of some kind of chemical bond at the interface between the core film 2 and the organic layer 3 of the heat-sealable film. However, with current technology, it is impossible or impractical to distinguish the bonded structure or the heat-sealable film from those not produced by in-situ polymerization by specifying their specific chemical structure, the state or properties of the interface. The organic layer 3 is preferably prepared by applying a solution of a polymerizable composition containing at least one of the above (1) to (6) and (8) to (13) dissolved in a solvent to both surfaces of the core film, and then polymerizing the composition by heating or the like after the solvent has evaporated.
[0034] The organic layer 3 can also be obtained by subjecting a polymerizable composition containing the above-mentioned (7) to a radical polymerization reaction. The radical polymerization reaction is preferably carried out by heating at room temperature to 200°C for 5 to 90 minutes, although this depends on the composition of the composition. In the case of photocuring, the polymerization reaction is carried out by irradiating with ultraviolet light or visible light. The organic layer 3 can also be formed by disposing an organic layer made of a polymer of a polymerizable composition containing the monofunctional radical polymerizable monomer (7) on both sides of the core film. The organic layer 3 is preferably prepared by applying the raw materials for the organic layer directly or in a solution dissolved in a solvent to both sides of the core film, and polymerizing the raw materials by heating or the like after the solvent has evaporated.
[0035] <Surface treatment> The core film 2 forming the organic layer 3 preferably has a surface that has been surface-treated.
[0036] The surface treatment improves the adhesion of the organic layer 3 to the surface of the core film by cleaning the surface of the core film, generating hydroxyl groups on the surface, or by forming fine irregularities (roughening) on the surface, thereby providing an anchoring effect.
[0037] The surface treatment is preferably any one of plasma treatment, corona discharge treatment, and UV ozone treatment from the viewpoint of generating hydroxyl groups on the surface. The hydroxyl groups generated by the surface treatment serve as starting points for imparting functional groups to the surface of the core film by the functional group imparting treatment described below. When the core film is a glass foil, the surface treatment is one of the surface cleaning methods for removing organic impurities from the surface. When the core film is a metal foil such as aluminum or copper, surface treatments such as cleaning with a solvent, degreasing, blasting, and polishing such as sanding are effective. When the core film is aluminum, etching with caustic soda or the like and boehmite treatment are particularly effective. The surface properties of the core film surface-treated by the above-mentioned method may change from those immediately after the surface treatment due to the formation of an organic layer, etc. on the surface-treated surface. For this reason, it is impossible or impractical with current technology to specifically describe the surface properties of the surface-treated core film in the heat-weldable film of the present invention. The various surface treatments can be carried out by known methods, and specific examples of the treatment methods include the following.
[0038] (Plasma treatment) The plasma treatment involves creating a plasma beam using a high-voltage power supply and a rod, which is then struck against the surface of the material to excite the molecules and put them into a functional state. Examples of such a method include atmospheric pressure plasma treatment, which can impart hydroxyl groups or polar groups to the surface of the material.
[0039] (Corona discharge treatment) The corona discharge treatment is a method used to modify the surface of a polymer film, in which electrons emitted from an electrode cleave the polymer main chain or side chain of the polymer surface layer, generating radicals that generate hydroxyl groups or polar groups on the surface.
[0040] (UV ozone treatment) UV ozone treatment is a method of cleaning or modifying surfaces using the energy of short-wavelength ultraviolet light emitted from a low-pressure mercury lamp and the power of the ozone (O3) that is generated by it. In the case of glass, it is a surface cleaning method that removes organic impurities from the surface. Equipment that uses low-pressure mercury lamps is generally called a "UV ozone cleaner," "UV cleaning equipment," or "UV surface modification equipment."
[0041] (Cleaning and degreasing treatment) Examples of the cleaning or degreasing treatment using a solvent or the like include a method in which the surface of the core film is degreased by washing or wiping with an organic solvent such as acetone or toluene.
[0042] (blasting) Examples of the blasting treatment include shot blasting and sand blasting.
[0043] (Polishing process) Examples of the polishing treatment include buff polishing using a polishing cloth, roll polishing using abrasive paper (sandpaper), and electrolytic polishing.
[0044] (etching process) When the core film is made of aluminum, examples of the etching treatment include chemical etching treatments such as the alkali method, phosphoric acid-sulfuric acid method, fluoride method, chromic acid-sulfuric acid method, and iron chloride method, as well as electrochemical etching treatments such as electrolytic etching.
[0045] When the core film is made of aluminum, the etching treatment is preferably an alkali method using an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution or an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution, and particularly preferably a caustic soda method using an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The alkali method can be carried out, for example, by immersing the aluminum foil in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide with a concentration of 3 to 20% by mass at 20 to 70°C for 1 to 15 minutes. Additives such as chelating agents, oxidizing agents, and phosphates may be added. After the immersion, it is preferable to neutralize (desmut) the foil with a 5 to 20% by mass aqueous solution of nitric acid, rinse with water, and dry it.
[0046] (chemical conversion treatment) The chemical conversion treatment is mainly to form a chemical conversion film on the surface of the core film. When the core film is made of aluminum, examples of the chemical conversion treatment that can be carried out include boehmite treatment and zirconium treatment, with boehmite treatment being particularly preferred. It is also preferable that the chemical conversion treatment is carried out after the etching treatment.
[0047] The boehmite treatment is carried out, for example, by treating an aluminum foil with hot water at about 90 to 100°C, forming a boehmite (aluminum hydrate oxide) film on the surface of the aluminum foil. Ammonia, triethanolamine, or the like may be added to the water as a reaction accelerator. For example, the boehmite treatment can be carried out by immersing the aluminum foil in hot water at 90 to 100°C containing triethanolamine at a concentration of 0.1 to 5.0% by mass for 3 seconds to 5 minutes. In the boehmite treatment, in order to form a good boehmite film, it is preferable to bake the material after the treatment with hot water or the like.
[0048] The zirconium treatment is carried out, for example, by immersing an aluminum foil in a solution containing a zirconium salt such as zirconium phosphate, and a film of a zirconium compound is formed on the surface of the aluminum foil. For example, the zirconium treatment can also be carried out by immersing the aluminum foil in a solution of a zirconium treatment chemical conversion agent such as "Palcoat 3762" or "Palcoat 3796" (both manufactured by Nihon Parkerizing Co., Ltd.) at 45 to 70°C for 0.5 to 3 minutes.
[0049] When the aluminum foil is subjected to a surface treatment, the surface treatment preferably includes one or more treatments selected from an etching treatment and a boehmite treatment.
[0050] (Functional group imparting treatment) The core film 2 on which the organic layer 3 is to be formed is preferably subjected to a treatment to provide functional groups prior to the formation of the organic layer 3 . It is preferable to provide the surface of the core film 2 with at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of the following (C1) to (C7) by the functional group providing treatment. (C1) At least one functional group derived from a silane coupling agent and selected from the group consisting of an epoxy group, an amino group, a (meth)acryloyl group, and a mercapto group. (C2) A functional group generated by the reaction of an amino group derived from a silane coupling agent with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of epoxy compounds and thiol compounds. (C3) A functional group formed by the reaction of a mercapto group derived from a silane coupling agent with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an epoxy compound, an amino compound, an isocyanate compound, a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and an epoxy group, and a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and an amino group. (C4) A functional group generated by the reaction of a (meth)acryloyl group derived from a silane coupling agent with a thiol compound (C5) A functional group formed by the reaction of an epoxy group derived from a silane coupling agent with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an amino compound, a thiol compound, and a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and an amino group. (C6) Isocyanato group derived from isocyanate compounds (C7) Mercapto group derived from thiol compounds
[0051] The functional groups imparted to the surface of the core film 2 by the functional group imparting treatment preferably contain, among the functional groups (C1) to (C7) above, a functional group reactive with a functional group of the polymerizable composition that forms the organic layer 3 formed after the functional group imparting treatment. These functional groups may be of one type alone, or may contain two or more types. Examples of functional groups imparted to the surface of the core film 2 by the functional group imparting treatment include epoxy groups, amino groups, mercapto groups, isocyanato groups, carboxy groups, hydroxyl groups, and (meth)acryloyl groups.
[0052] Examples of the silane coupling agents having an epoxy group in (C1) and (C5) include 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, and 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane. Examples of the silane coupling agent having an amino group in (C1) and (C2) include N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Examples of the silane coupling agents having a (meth)acryloyl group in (C1) and (C4) include 3-(meth)acryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-(meth)acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-(meth)acryloxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, and 3-(meth)acryloxypropyltriethoxysilane. Examples of the silane coupling agent having a mercapto group in (C1) and (C3) include 3-mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane.
[0053] The epoxy compounds in (C2) and (C3) are those other than silane coupling agents, and examples thereof include the above-mentioned bifunctional epoxy compounds.
[0054] The thiol compounds in (C2), (C4), (C5) and (C7) are, other than silane coupling agents, for example, the bifunctional thiol compounds mentioned above. The amino compounds in (C3) and (C5) are those other than silane coupling agents, and examples thereof include the above-mentioned bifunctional amino compounds. The isocyanate compounds in the functional groups (C3) and (C6) are not limited to silane coupling agents, and examples thereof include the bifunctional isocyanate compounds described above.
[0055] Examples of the compound (C3) having a (meth)acryloyl group and an epoxy group include glycidyl (meth)acrylate. Examples of the compounds (C3) and (C5) having a (meth)acryloyl group and an amino group include (meth)acrylamide.
[0056] The functional group imparting treatment can be carried out by applying a solution containing at least one selected from the group consisting of the following (c1) to (c7): (c1) a silane coupling agent having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of an epoxy group, an amino group, a (meth)acryloyl group, and a mercapto group. (c2) a silane coupling agent having an amino group and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an epoxy compound and a thiol compound (c3) a silane coupling agent having a mercapto group and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an epoxy compound, an amino compound, an isocyanate compound, a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and an epoxy group, and a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and an amino group; (c4) A silane coupling agent having a (meth)acryloyl group and a thiol compound (c5) a silane coupling agent having an epoxy group and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an amino compound, a thiol compound, and a compound having an amino group and a (meth)acryloyl group; (c6) Isocyanate compounds (c7) Thiol compounds
[0057] The compounds (c1) to (c7) correspond to the functional groups (C1) to (C7) described above, respectively, and generate these functional groups. That is, by carrying out a functional group imparting treatment using a solution containing (c1), a functional group imparting treated surface 1a containing the functional group (C1) can be formed. The same applies to (c2) to (c7). For example, when a dithiol compound is reacted with an amino group in the treatment (c2), a mercapto group, which is a functional group possessed by the dithiol compound, is introduced to the terminal.Similarly, when a polyfunctional isocyanate compound is reacted with a mercapto group in the treatment (c3), an isocyanato group, which is a functional group possessed by the polyfunctional isocyanate compound, is introduced to the terminal.
[0058] It should be noted that the functional groups (C1) to (C7) react with the functional groups of the compounds constituting the organic layer 3, and therefore it is impossible to confirm their presence. Furthermore, the functional groups generated using the compounds (c1) to (c7) are not limited to a single type, and may be diverse. In light of these circumstances, in the present invention, based on the well-known technology that a predetermined functional group is generated by the reaction of a predetermined functional group with another predetermined functional group and the inference based thereon, it is assumed that a functional group-imparted surface 1a having the predetermined functional group is formed by performing a functional group imparting treatment using a compound having the predetermined functional group, and the expressions (C1) to (C7) and (c1) to (c7) are used.
[0059] The method for applying the solution in the functional group imparting treatment is not particularly limited, and for example, a dipping method, a spraying method, or the like can be used. In the case of the immersion method, for example, the core film is immersed in the solution having a concentration of about 0.5 to 50% by mass at 20 to 100°C for 1 minute to 5 days, and then removed and dried at room temperature to 100°C for 1 minute to 5 hours, thereby forming the functional group-imparting treated surface 1a. In the case of the spray method, for example, the solution having a concentration of about 0.5 to 50% by mass is sprayed onto the core film, and then dried at room temperature to 100°C for 1 minute to 5 hours, thereby forming the functional group-imparting treated surface 1a.
[0060] The functional group imparting treatment is preferably carried out after the above-described surface treatment, whereby the core film and the organic layer are more likely to be firmly bonded together due to the synergistic effect of the chemical bonding brought about by the surface treatment and the functional group imparting treatment.
[0061] [zygote] FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the bonded structure of the present invention. The bonded structure 10 shown in FIG. 2 is formed by bonding a first substrate 4 and a second substrate 5 together by welding via the organic layers 3 on both sides of the heat-sealable film 1. The bonded structure thus obtained exhibits particularly excellent bonding strength. While the details of the mechanism are unclear, it is presumed that the main factor is the formation of some kind of chemical bond at the interface between the organic layers 3 on both sides of the heat-sealable film 1 and each substrate. However, with current technology, it is impossible or impractical to distinguish the heat-sealable film from those not produced by in situ polymerization by specifying their specific chemical structure or the state or properties of the interface. From the viewpoint of ease of handling as the heat-sealable film 1, the thickness of the heat-sealable film 1 is preferably 1 to 1000 μm for the core film 2 and 1 to 500 μm for the organic layer 3, more preferably 5 to 500 μm for the core film 2 and 5 to 200 μm for the organic layer 3, and even more preferably 5 to 250 μm for the core film 2 and 5 to 50 μm for the organic layer 3.
[0062] The first substrate 4 and the second substrate 5 are each made of one material selected from the group consisting of metal, resin, ceramic, and glass. Examples of metals include aluminum, iron, copper, magnesium, and steel, and examples of resins include thermoplastic resin, thermosetting resin, and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP). The first substrate 4 and the second substrate 5 may be combined in any manner. The shapes of the first substrate 4 and the second substrate 5 are not particularly limited.
[0063] [Method of manufacturing the bonded body] Methods for welding the first substrate 4 and the second substrate 5 via the organic layers 3 on both sides of the heat-sealable film 1 include a method in which the heat-sealable film 1 is sandwiched between the substrates and welded by at least one method selected from the group consisting of ultrasonic welding, vibration welding, electromagnetic induction, high-frequency welding, laser welding, and heat pressing, and a method in which one organic layer of the heat-sealable film 1 and the first substrate 4 are welded in advance, and another thermoplastic resin material is molded on top of the other organic layer by injection molding. The organic layers on both sides of the core film may be the same or different, depending on the substrates to be bonded. [Example]
[0064] Next, specific examples of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not particularly limited to these examples. In the following examples, the "first substrate 4" and the "second substrate 5" are collectively referred to as the bonding substrate.
