Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to compositions, composition kits, cured products, laminates, and methods for producing cured products. [Background technology]
[0002] High refractive index plastics are increasingly being used as optical components such as eyeglass lenses because they are lighter, less prone to breakage, and can be dyed compared to inorganic materials such as glass. Examples of plastic materials for optical components include acrylic resin, polycarbonate, and thiourethane resin, among which thiourethane resin is known as a plastic material that can obtain a high refractive index (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] Products made from thiourethane resin are generally manufactured by casting polymerization. Specifically, the raw material composition is injected between a pair of molds placed at a predetermined distance apart, and the composition is cured by heating to obtain the product.

Advantages of the Invention
[0007] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there are provided a composition capable of forming a thiourethane resin and having excellent handleability, a composition kit using this composition, a cured product, a laminate, and a method for producing a cured product.
Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0008] In the present disclosure, a numerical range represented by "~" means a range including the numerical values described before and after "~" as the lower limit value and the upper limit value. In this disclosure, the amount of each component in a composition means the total amount of any multiple substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified, if there are multiple substances corresponding to each component in the composition. In numerical ranges described in stages within this disclosure, the upper or lower limit of one numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit of another numerical range described in stages. Furthermore, in numerical ranges described within this disclosure, the upper or lower limit of that range may be replaced with the values shown in the examples.
[0009] [Composition] The arguments in this disclosure are, Base generator (a), A polymerizable compound comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of polyiso(thio)cyanate compounds (b1) and polythiol compounds (c1), Contains stabilizer (S).
[0010] The compositions of this disclosure include at least one polymerizable compound selected from the group consisting of polyiso(thio)cyanate compounds (b1) and polythiol compounds (c1). That is, the compositions of this disclosure are used to form cured products (i.e., thiourethane resins) obtained by a polymerization reaction between a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound and a polythiol compound. Thiourethane resins can be suitably used in applications requiring a high refractive index, such as optical components.
[0011] Furthermore, the composition of this disclosure contains a base generator. Conventional thiourethane resins are manufactured by inducing a polymerization reaction between a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) and a polythiol compound (c1) by heating. The composition of this disclosure, by containing a base generator, induces the polymerization reaction between the polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) and the polythiol compound (c1) by light irradiation. In other words, the curing time of the composition of this disclosure is significantly reduced compared to conventional compositions in which the polymerization reaction is induced by heating.
[0012] Furthermore, the compositions of this disclosure contain stabilizers. Because the compositions of this disclosure contain base generators along with polymerizable compounds, there is a risk that the polymerization reaction of the polymerizable compounds may proceed during storage. The compositions of this disclosure suppress the polymerization reaction of the polymerizable compounds by including stabilizers along with base generators. In other words, the composition of this disclosure includes a stabilizer, which allows the polymerizable compound and the base generator to coexist within the composition. Because the composition already contains the polymerizable compound and the base generator, the user does not need to add the base generator to the polymerizable compound, and the handling of the composition is greatly improved.
[0013] The compositions of this disclosure may contain either a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) or a polythiol compound (c1) alone, or both, as polymerizable compounds. When the composition contains a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) and a polythiol compound (c1), the mass ratio (c1 / b1) of the polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) to the polythiol compound (c1) contained in the composition is not particularly limited and can be selected from the range of 99 / 1 to 1 / 99.
[0014] If the composition contains a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) and a polythiol compound (c1) as polymerizable compounds, the mass ratio of the polymerizable compounds in the composition may be determined to satisfy either condition A or condition B below. Condition A: The mass ratio (b1 / c1) of the polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) to the polythiol compound (c1) contained in the polymerizable compound of the composition is within the range of 99 / 1 to 70 / 30, 99 / 1 to 75 / 25, or 95 / 5 to 80 / 20. Condition B: The mass ratio (b1 / c1) of the polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) to the polythiol compound (c1) contained in the polymerizable compound of the composition is within the range of 1 / 99 to 30 / 70, 1 / 99 to 25 / 75, or 5 / 95 to 20 / 80.
[0015] If the composition contains a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) and a polythiol compound (c1) as polymerizable compounds, the polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) and the polythiol compound (c1) may partially react in the composition to produce a thiourethane compound. That is, the composition may contain a thiourethane compound, which is a reaction product of the polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1) and the polythiol compound (c1).
[0016] When using the composition of this disclosure as the first composition of a composition kit described later, the above mass ratio (c1 / b1) is preferably determined by considering the mass ratio (c1+b2 / b1+c2) of the polythiol compound (c1+c2) to the polyiso(thio)cyanate compound (b1+b2) in a mixture of the first composition and the second composition.
[0017] The total content of polymerizable compounds in the composition is preferably 20% by mass or more, more preferably 30% by mass or more, even more preferably 40% by mass or more, particularly preferably 50% by mass or more, and even more preferably 60% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the composition, from the viewpoint of photocurability and the adhesion and bonding properties of the cured product. The total content of polymerizable compounds in the composition may be 99.9% by mass or less, or 99.8% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the composition.
[0018] <Base Generator (a)> The compositions of this disclosure include a base-generating agent (a). In this disclosure, "base-generating agent" means a compound that releases a base by at least one of light energy such as electromagnetic waves and thermal energy. The composition contains a base generator (a), which improves the photocurability of polymerizable compounds. Furthermore, if thermal curing is performed as needed, the thermosetting properties can also be improved.

[0132] The following are examples of the embodiments of this disclosure, but this disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. In the following examples, the viscosity of the composition was measured at 20°C using a Brookfield Type B viscometer in accordance with the method described in JIS K7117:1991. In the following examples, "room temperature" refers to a temperature range of "15°C to 35°C".
[0133] <Comparative Example 1> Tetrabutylammonium tri(1-naphthyl)butylborate (0.4 parts by mass, manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.), a base-generating agent, was dissolved in xylylene diisocyanate (50.7 parts by mass), a polyisocyanate compound. After complete dissolution, a polythiol composition (49.3 parts by mass) mainly composed of 5,7-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiandecane, 4,7-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiandecane, and 4,8-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiaundecane was added, and the mixture was stirred for a further 10 minutes to prepare the composition. The obtained composition was stored in an oven at 20°C. The viscosity of the composition was measured at the start of storage (initial) and at 1, 3, 5, 7, or 24 hours after the start of storage. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0134] <Example 1> A base-generating agent, tetrabutylammonium tri(1-naphthyl)butylborate (0.4 parts by mass, manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.), and a stabilizer, 10-camphor sulfonic acid (0.01 parts by mass, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), were dissolved in a polyisocyanate compound, xylylene diisocyanate (50.7 parts by mass). After complete dissolution, a polythiol composition (49.3 parts by mass) mainly composed of the polythiol compounds 5,7-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiandecane, 4,7-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiandecane, and 4,8-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiaundecane was added, and the mixture was stirred for a further 10 minutes to prepare the composition. The resulting composition was stored in an oven at 20°C. The viscosity of the composition was measured at the start of storage (initial) and 1, 3, 5, 7, or 24 hours after the start of storage. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0135] [Table 1]
[0136] As shown in Table 1, compared to the composition of Comparative Example 1, which contains a base generator and a polymerizable compound but no stabilizer, the composition of Example 1, which contains a base generator, a polymerizable compound, and a stabilizer, maintained a low viscosity even after a period of time had elapsed since the start of storage.
[0137] <Comparative Example 2> Tetrabutylammonium tri(1-naphthyl)butylborate (0.06 parts by mass, manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.), a base-generating agent, was dissolved in xylylene diisocyanate (10 parts by mass), a polyisocyanate compound. After complete dissolution, the solution was stored at 25°C for 12 hours. After storage, the solution had changed into a cloudy gel-like substance.
[0138] <Example 2> Tetrabutylammonium tri(1-naphthyl)butylborate (0.06 parts by mass, manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.), a base-generating agent, was dissolved in xylylene diisocyanate (10 parts by mass), a polyisocyanate compound, together with triphenyl phosphite (0.02 parts by mass, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), a stabilizer. After complete dissolution, the solution was stored at 25°C for 12 hours. Unlike Comparative Example 2, the solution remained a clear liquid after storage. This is thought to be because the solution in Example 2, containing triphenyl phosphite as a stabilizer, suppressed the self-polymerization of the polyisocyanate compound even in the presence of the base-generating agent.

[0140] Ten parts by mass of the first composition (MB1), which had been stored at 5°C for 85 days, was added to the second composition, a polythiol composition (8.67 parts by mass) mainly composed of 5,7-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiandecane, 4,7-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiandecane, and 4,8-dimercaptomethyl-1,11-dimercapto-3,6,9-trithiaundecane, and the mixture was stirred for a further 30 minutes. The mixture was then filtered through a 3 μm PTFE filter and degassed under vacuum while stirring for 30 to 60 minutes to obtain a mixture of the first and second compositions.
[0141] The resulting mixture was poured between a pair of flat glass molds secured with tape at a 0.8 mm interval. Then, it was subjected to a 30-second (9 mW / cm²) exposure test. 2 The mixture was polymerized and cured by irradiation with light (365 nm) at 1 / s and then heating in a 120°C oven for 1 hour. The resulting cured product had a refractive index of 1.67 and possessed transparency suitable for optical components.

The mixture was then filtered through a 3 μm PTFE filter and degassed under vacuum while stirring for 30 to 60 minutes to obtain a mixture of the first and second compositions.
[0144] The resulting mixture was poured between a pair of flat glass molds fixed at a distance of 0.8 mm. Then, it was subjected to a 30-second (9 mW / cm²) exposure. 2The mixture was polymerized and cured by irradiation with light (365 nm) at 1 / s and then heating in a 120°C oven for 1 hour. The resulting cured product had a refractive index of 1.67 and possessed transparency suitable for optical components.

Furthermore, the yellow index (measured in a 10 mm thick cell) measured after 6 weeks of storage was also stable and below 0.5.
[0146] The first composition (MB3) (40 parts by mass), which had been stored at 5°C for 40 days, was mixed with the second composition, which contained xylylene diisocyanate (36.96 parts by mass), SH-3773M (0.04 parts by mass, manufactured by Dow Chemical Japan Ltd.), a polyether-modified silicone compound, and Hostavin PR-25 (0.144 parts by mass, manufactured by Clariant), an ultraviolet absorber, and stirred for 30 minutes. The viscosity measured at 20°C at this time was 39 cP. Subsequently, the mixture was filtered through a 3 μm PTFE filter and degassed under vacuum while stirring for 30 to 60 minutes to obtain a mixture of the first and second compositions. The resulting mixture was poured between a pair of flat glass molds fixed at a distance of 0.8 mm. Then, it was subjected to a 60-second (9 mW / cm²) exposure. 2 The mixture was polymerized and cured by irradiation with light (365 nm) at 1 / s and then heating in a 120°C oven for 1 hour. The resulting cured product had a refractive index of 1.67 and possessed transparency suitable for optical components.

[0149] The resulting mixture was poured between a pair of flat glass molds fixed at an interval of 9 mW / cm². Then, it was subjected to a 30-second burst (9 mW / cm²). 2 The mixture was polymerized and cured by irradiation with light (365 nm) at 1 / s and then heating in a 120°C oven for 1 hour. The resulting cured product had a refractive index of 1.62 and possessed transparency suitable for optical components.

[0150] <Example 7> A layer of polyurethane aqueous dispersion (SF-470, manufactured by Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.) was formed on one side of a glass wafer (soda glass, 100 mm in diameter, 0.5 mm thick) by spin coating. This layer was dried at 80°C for 30 seconds and cured at 100°C for 2 hours to form a thin film. The mixture obtained in Example 5 was placed on top of this thin film, and a flat glass mold was placed on top of that.

[0153] The first and second compositions were filtered through a 3 μm PTFE filter, degassed under vacuum while stirring for 30 minutes, and then filled into the tanks of a dispenser (Dual Mixer MRP-150, manufactured by Nippon Sosei Kogyo Co., Ltd.) equipped with a function to mix the two liquids. The filled first and second compositions were mixed in the dispenser, and immediately thereafter the mixture was poured between a pair of glass molds placed 2 mm apart.
