Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition for forming a nonwoven fabric by electrospinning, a nonwoven fabric, and a textile product, a separator for an electric storage element, a secondary battery, and an electric double layer capacitor using the nonwoven fabric. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, electronic devices have required lower dielectric constants, which has led to a demand for porous, heat-resistant materials. Heat-resistant nonwoven fabrics that can withstand soldering processes are a promising candidate for the substrate of such materials. Furthermore, by metal-plating heat-resistant nonwoven fabrics, they can be used in a variety of applications, including lightweight and excellent electromagnetic wave shielding materials, heat-resistant bag filters for removing dust from combustion gases emitted from factories, gas and water separation membranes, and separators for lithium-ion batteries and electric double-layer capacitors. For these applications, metal-plated heat-resistant nonwoven fabrics have attracted attention as materials with excellent ion permeability, high mechanical strength, and heat resistance.
[0003] Furthermore, in aircraft applications, there is an increasing demand for heat-insulating and sound-absorbing materials with many voids that are highly reliable in high-temperature and low-temperature environments.
[0004] As a method for obtaining the above-described nonwoven fabric, Patent Document 1 discloses a polyimide composition having a specific structure suitable for electrospinning and a method for producing a nonwoven fabric using the same, which is used as a bag filter or a combustion exhaust gas filter used at high temperatures.
[0005] Patent Document 2 discloses that a polyimide solution is ejected from a nozzle and then exposed to a high-speed air current that crosses the solution to obtain polyimide fibers, which are then used in applications such as heat-resistant bag filters, heat-insulating sound-absorbing materials, and heat-resistant clothing.
[0006] Patent Document 3 discloses a separator for lithium-ion secondary batteries that uses a resin solution obtained by reacting polyamic acid with an alkoxysilane partial condensate containing an epoxy group. Plating adhesion is improved by silane-modifying the polyamic acid. Furthermore, during spinning, an airflow heated to 50 to 350°C is applied to the solution discharged from the spinneret, promoting imidization and sol-gel reactions while collecting the thread.
[0007] Patent Document 4 discloses polyamide, polyimide, and polyamideimide resins in which alkyl groups and fluoroalkyl groups are bonded to the polymer terminals, as well as nonwoven fabrics and separators using solutions of these resins. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-132611 [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2009 / 054349 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-251287 [Patent Document 4] International Publication No. 2019 / 009037 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] However, the compositions disclosed in these patent documents suffer from poor spinning stability. For example, they can develop "beads," which are nodular defects where the fiber diameter suddenly increases, or the charge repulsion during spinning can become unstable, causing the fiber to lose its shape and deposit on the substrate as round droplets. These problems can lead to a decrease in the strength of the nonwoven fabric.
[0010] An object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition suitable for spinning, particularly electrospinning, and a heat-resistant nonwoven fabric having excellent strength and a method for producing the same. [Means for solving the problem]
[0011] The present invention provides a resin composition for forming a nonwoven fabric by electrospinning, comprising: (a) at least one heat-resistant resin or a precursor thereof selected from the group consisting of heat-resistant resins containing nitrogen atoms and heat-resistant resins having a group selected from the group consisting of an ether group, a ketone group, a sulfone group, and a sulfide group in the main chain; (b) a solvent; and (c) a surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group. (c) a resin composition in which the surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group has at least one group selected from an oxyethylene group, an oxypropylene group, and a group containing quaternary nitrogen. is.
[0012] The present invention also provides a nonwoven fabric comprising: (a) at least one heat-resistant resin or a precursor thereof selected from the group consisting of heat-resistant resins containing nitrogen atoms and heat-resistant resins having a group selected from the group consisting of an ether group, a ketone group, a sulfone group, and a sulfide group in the main chain; and (c) a surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group. (c) a nonwoven fabric in which the surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group has at least one group selected from an oxyethylene group, an oxypropylene group, and a group containing quaternary nitrogen. is. [Effects of the Invention]
[0013] According to the present invention, the generation of beads during spinning can be suppressed, and threads with a stable diameter can be obtained. In particular, in electrospinning, the splitting of the resin liquid due to charge repulsion during spinning is not hindered, and a nonwoven fabric without the accumulation of droplets can be obtained. Furthermore, according to the present invention, a heat-resistant nonwoven fabric with excellent strength can be obtained. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0089] Furthermore, in terms of electrospinning, from the viewpoint of promoting liquid splitting due to charge repulsion during spinning and contributing to fiber thinning, it is preferable to use (c) a surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group that has at least one structure selected from a carboxyl group, a sulfonic group, a hydroxyl group, a carboxylate, a sulfonic acid salt, and a phenolic hydroxyl salt, and more preferably, (c) a surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group that has at least one structure selected from a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group.

[0124] [ka]
[0125] [ka]
[0126] In the composition of the present invention for forming a nonwoven fabric by electrospinning, the content of (c) the surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group in the composition is preferably 0.3 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 5% by mass, and even more preferably 1 to 3% by mass. When this content is equal to or greater than the lower limit, the frequency of nodular defects occurring in the fiber during electrospinning can be further reduced. Furthermore, when this content is equal to or less than the upper limit, charge repulsion during electrospinning falls within an appropriate range, making it easier to obtain threads with a small fiber diameter.
[0127] <Nonwoven fabric> The nonwoven fabric of the present invention comprises (a) at least one heat-resistant resin or a precursor thereof selected from the group consisting of heat-resistant resins containing nitrogen atoms and heat-resistant resins having at least one group selected from ether groups, ketone groups, sulfone groups, and sulfide groups in the main chain, and (c) a surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group, where the details of components (a) and (c) are as described above.
[0128] Furthermore, when a nonwoven fabric is made from a precursor of a heat-resistant resin, it can be converted into a heat-resistant resin by further undergoing thermal or chemical treatment such as crosslinking, thermal ring closure, or chemical ring closure.
[0129] The inclusion of component (c) in the nonwoven fabric enhances the bonding between the fibers due to the hydrophobic interaction of the fluoroalkyl groups unevenly distributed on the fiber surfaces, thereby improving the toughness of the nonwoven fabric. Furthermore, when the nonwoven fabric is subjected to heat treatment after formation, the bonding between the polymer fibers is further strengthened through the fusion of the fluoroalkyl groups.
[0130] Such a nonwoven fabric can be obtained, for example, by spinning a resin composition containing (a) at least one heat-resistant resin selected from the group consisting of heat-resistant resins containing nitrogen atoms and heat-resistant resins having at least one group selected from an ether group, a ketone group, a sulfone group, and a sulfide group in the main chain, or a precursor thereof, (b) a solvent, and (c) a surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group, which is melted or dissolved in a solvent.
[0131] As a spinning method, electrospinning is preferably used because the liquid is split during spinning, resulting in a nonwoven fabric made of fibers with a finer fiber diameter. That is, it is preferable to form a nonwoven fabric by spinning the above-mentioned resin composition by electrospinning.
[0132] The electrospinning method used here is a spinning method in which a high voltage is applied to a polymer solution and the charged polymer solution is sprayed onto a grounded counter electrode to obtain ultrafine fibers. The electrospinning device used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but examples include a device that ejects a polymer solution from a protruding nozzle like a syringe, and a device that ejects ultrafine fibers from a discharge section by charging a thin film of polymer solution formed on a rotating roller or ball. The liquid is ejected while applying a voltage to the discharge section, and a nonwoven fabric is deposited on the substrate by attaching aluminum foil or release paper to the grounded counter electrode.
[0133] Furthermore, nonwoven fabrics formed from resin compositions containing the above general formulas (1) to (5) do not require heat treatment for dehydration and ring closure after spinning, and nonwoven fabrics with excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained extremely easily.
[0134] On the other hand, when a nonwoven fabric is formed using a precursor of a heat-resistant resin, the precursor of the heat-resistant resin usually has a high affinity for a solvent and therefore has excellent spinnability, and by utilizing this property, a nonwoven fabric with a fineness can be obtained. Furthermore, by converting the precursor of the heat-resistant resin into a heat-resistant resin, a nonwoven fabric with excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained.
[0135] A nonwoven fabric with excellent mechanical strength is resistant to breakage and will not break even when the volume of the electrode changes during battery assembly or charging / discharging. From this perspective, the tensile strength of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 1.0 N / cm or more, more preferably 1.5 N / cm or more, even more preferably 2.0 N / cm or more, and particularly preferably 2.5 N / cm or more. There is no particular upper limit to the tensile strength, but it is preferably 5.0 N / cm or less.
[0136] The fiber diameter in the nonwoven fabric is preferably 3 μm or less, more preferably 1.5 μm or less, and even more preferably 1 μm or less. The smaller the fiber diameter, the more the nonwoven fabric can be kept dense and strong, while improving the porosity and ensuring high breathability and liquid permeability.
[0137] The fiber diameter referred to here is determined by observing the nonwoven fabric under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at an appropriate magnification (for example, 10,000x), randomly selecting 30 fibers within the field of view, measuring their widths, and then calculating the arithmetic mean.
[0138] <Applications of nonwoven fabric> The nonwoven fabric according to the embodiment of the present invention can be suitably used for textile products such as separators for electric storage devices such as secondary batteries or electric double layer capacitors, sound absorbing materials, electromagnetic wave shielding materials, separation filters, heat-resistant bag filters, etc. In particular, when used as a separator for an electric storage device, the nonwoven fabric can improve the safety of the electric storage device as a separator with high heat resistance.
[0139] The secondary battery or electric double layer capacitor according to the embodiment of the present invention has the above-described separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Such a secondary battery or electric double layer capacitor can be obtained by stacking a plurality of electrodes with the above-described separator interposed therebetween, placing them together with an electrolyte in an exterior material such as a metal case, and sealing the stack.

[0203] This resin film was heated in an inert oven (CLH-21CD-S; manufactured by Koyo Thermo Systems Co., Ltd.) at an oxygen concentration of 20 ppm or less. (A) Synthesis Examples 2, 4, 8, 10 to 13, and 17 Heat up to 280°C at 5°C / min and heat at 280°C for 1 hour (B) Synthesis Examples 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 14 to 16, and 18 to 23 Heat up to 150°C at 5°C / min and heat at 150°C for 1 hour After this, the substrate was cooled to 50°C at a rate of 5°C / min. The film was then immersed in hydrofluoric acid for 1 to 4 minutes to peel it off from the substrate, and air-dried to obtain a heat-treated coating. The rotation speed during spin coating was adjusted so that the resin film thickness after heat treatment would be 10 μm. The film thickness was measured using an optical interference film thickness measuring device (Lambda Ace STM-602; manufactured by Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd.).
[0204] The coating was placed in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA-50; manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) and heated to 150°C at a rate of 10°C / min to remove the adsorbed water. The temperature was then lowered to room temperature and the weight W1 was measured. The resin was then heated again at a rate of 10°C / min. The temperature at which the weight W2 of the resin during heating reached W2 / W1 = 0.95 was defined as the 5% weight loss temperature. The results are shown in Table 4.
