Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention provides a fluoropolyether-based curable composition that has durability against hydrofluoric acid and electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, and a cured product that has good release properties without uncured areas due to low compatibility between constituent components, and a cured product of the composition, and a cured product having the cured product. Lithium-ion battery Regarding. [Background technology]
[0002] Fluoropolyether-based curable compositions utilizing the addition reaction between alkenyl groups and hydrosilyl groups are known. For example, a composition has been proposed containing a fluoropolyether compound (hereinafter also referred to as "base oil") having two or more alkenyl groups in one molecule and a perfluoropolyether structure in the main chain, a fluorine-containing organohydrogensiloxane having two or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule, and a platinum group metal compound (Patent Document 1: JP-A-8-199070, Patent Document 2: JP-A-2011-201940). Furthermore, a composition has been proposed in which self-adhesive properties are imparted by adding an organopolysiloxane having a hydrosilyl group and an epoxy group and / or a trialkoxysilyl group to the composition as a third component (adhesion improver) (Patent Document 3: JP-A-9-95615, Patent Document 4: JP-A-2011-219692). This composition can be cured by heating for a short time, and the resulting cured product (fluoropolyether-based cured product) has excellent solvent resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, low-temperature properties, low moisture permeability, and electrical properties, and is therefore used in various industrial fields where these properties are required.
[0003] Fluoropolyether-based curable compositions containing fluorine-containing organohydrogen siloxanes having two or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule contain siloxane bonds that are unstable to acids and could not exhibit sufficient performance in applications requiring high levels of acid resistance. In particular, they had low durability against hydrofluoric acid and were unsuitable for applications such as components for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. In response to this, it has been proposed to improve the acid resistance of fluoropolyether-based cured products by using a fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound that does not contain siloxane bonds and has two or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule, instead of the fluorine-containing organohydrogen siloxane (Patent Document 5: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-012769).
[0004] On the other hand, the above-mentioned fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compounds tend to have a large proportion of the total molecule consisting of unfluorinated organic structures. This is largely due to the synthetic advantages of the fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compounds. In this case, the short-chain perfluoroalkylene groups have poor compatibility with the base oil. Due to these tendencies, when a fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound is added to a fluoropolyether-based curable composition, the fluoropolyether-based curable composition sometimes becomes cloudy and its viscosity increases. Furthermore, oily uncured portions sometimes appear on the surface of the fluoropolyether-based cured product obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable composition. The presence of these uncured portions often impairs the release properties of the fluoropolyether-based cured product, and this is undesirable because it can cause problems during the manufacturing process of articles containing the cured product, such as the cured product not peeling off from parts in the manufacturing equipment and hindering smooth manufacturing.
[0005] In recent years, due to growing concern about environmental issues, the development of products using lithium-ion batteries has been actively pursued worldwide. However, it has been found that fluoropolyether-based curable compositions and their cured products containing fluorine-containing organohydrogen siloxanes having two or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule have low durability against lithium-ion battery electrolytes, making them difficult to apply to this purpose. Furthermore, regarding fluoropolyether-based curable compositions and their cured products containing fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compounds that do not contain siloxane bonds and have two or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule, there is no knowledge regarding their durability against lithium-ion battery electrolytes, and it was unclear whether they could be applied to this purpose.

Furthermore, they found that the cured product obtained by curing a fluoropolyether-based curable composition by adding the fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound exhibits durability against hydrofluoric acid and electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, has no uncured areas on the surface, and has good release properties, leading to the present invention.

Furthermore, by curing the composition, a fluoropolyether-based cured product can be obtained that has durability against hydrofluoric acid and electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries and does not contain scattered oily uncured portions. Moreover, the fluoropolyether-based curable composition has excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and solvent resistance comparable to fluoropolyether-based cured products obtained from fluoropolyether-based curable compositions described in Patent Documents 1 to 5. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0011] The present invention will be described in more detail below. [(A) component] The perfluoropolyether compound of component (A) used in the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention has at least two alkenyl groups in one molecule, and preferably has a divalent perfluoropolyether structure in the main chain as shown in general formula (2) described later, and acts as the main component (base oil) in the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention.
[0012] In the present invention, the degree of polymerization (or molecular weight) of a polyfluoro compound, which reflects the number of repeating perfluorooxyalkylene units constituting the perfluoropolyether structure of the main chain, can be determined, for example, as the number-average degree of polymerization (or number-average molecular weight) in polystyrene terms in gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis using a fluorine-based solvent as the developing solvent. Furthermore, the number-average degree of polymerization (or number-average molecular weight) of the perfluoropolyether compound described later is 19 It can also be calculated from F-NMR (the same applies below).
[0013] Component (A) is preferably a perfluoropolyether compound having the structure shown in the following general formula (2). [ka] [In the formula, A 1 This is a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may independently contain at least one selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon atoms, and B 1 X is a carbon atom or a silicon atom, and X is independently a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, or an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, provided that at least two of X are alkenyl groups having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and if X is a hydrogen atom, then B is bonded to it. 1 It is a carbon atom.

Note that the bond marked with * is Rf 1 It combines with the unmarked joint B 1 This indicates that it will combine with [another entity]. [ka] (In the formula, X 1 X is independently a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group, or a trifluoromethyl group. 2 (where f is a hydrogen atom, methyl group, ethyl group, isopropyl group, or phenyl group, and f is an integer from 1 to 6.)

Preferably, the alkenyl group has 2 to 8 carbon atoms, particularly 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and has a CH2=CH- structure at its terminal. Examples include vinyl groups, allyl groups, propenyl groups, isopropenyl groups, butenyl groups, hexenyl groups, etc., with vinyl groups and allyl groups being preferred. If X is not an alkenyl group, B 1 When it is a carbon atom, it becomes either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, B 1 When it is a silicon atom, it becomes a methyl group, forming a structure.
[0017] In the above general formula (2), Rf 1 is a divalent perfluoropolyether group, -C g F 2g This includes a repeating unit of O- (where g is an integer from 1 to 6), such as those represented by the following formula (11). -(C g F 2g O) h - (11) (In the formula, g is an integer between 1 and 6, and h is an integer between 5 and 600, preferably between 10 and 400, and more preferably between 30 and 200.)

[0019] Among these, the unit expressed by the following formula is particularly preferred. -CF2O- -CF2CF2O- -CF2CF2CF2O- -CF(CF3)CF2O-
[0020] Furthermore, the repeating units in the above-mentioned divalent perfluoropolyether group may consist of one of these types alone, or a combination of two or more types.
[0021] Furthermore, the above-mentioned divalent perfluoropolyether group preferably contains the structure of the following formula. [ka] (In the formula, G is a fluorine atom or a trifluoromethyl group, p1, q1 and r1 are integers satisfying p1≧0, q1≧0, 0≦p1+q1≦200, in particular 2≦p1+q1≦150 and 0≦r1≦6 (when p1+q1=0, 1≦r1≦6), and k1, a1, s1, t1 and u1 are integers satisfying 1≦k1≦3, 2≦a1≦6, 0≦s1≦100, 0≦t1≦100, 2≦s1+t1≦200, 0≦u1≦6, in particular 2≦s1+t1≦150) Each repeating unit shown in parentheses with v1 and w1 is an integer satisfying 0≦u1≦4 and 2≦s1+t1+u1≦150, v1 and w1 are integers satisfying 1≦v1≦100, 1≦w1≦100, and 2≦v1+w1≦200 respectively, z1 is an integer satisfying 1≦z1≦200, k1', a1', and a1'' are integers satisfying 1≦k1'≦3, 1≦a1'≦6, 1≦a1''≦6, and a1'≠a1'' respectively, and z1' is an integer satisfying 1≦z1'≦200. Each repeating unit shown in parentheses with v1 and w1 may be randomly combined.
[0022] In the above general formula (2), Rf 1 A concrete example of this is the one represented by the following formula. [ka] (In the formula, p1, q1, r1, v1, w1, z1, and z1' are the same as above. s1' and t1' are integers from 1 to 100, and s1' + t1' = integers from 2 to 200. t1'' is an integer from 2 to 100. Each repeating unit shown in parentheses with v1 and w1 may be combined randomly.)
[0023] The perfluoropolyether compound represented by the above general formula (2) is B 1 When the atom is a silicon atom, the one represented by the following formula is particularly preferred. In the formula, Me is a methyl group and Et is an ethyl group.
[0024] [ka] (s1' and t1' are integers between 1 and 100, and s1' + t1' = integer between 2 and 200.)
[0025] [ka] (s1' and t1' are integers between 1 and 100, and s1' + t1' = integer between 2 and 200.)
[0026] [ka] (s1' and t1' are integers between 1 and 100, and s1' + t1' = integer between 2 and 200.)
[0027] [ka] (s1' and t1' are integers between 1 and 100, and s1' + t1' = integer between 2 and 200.)
[0028] [ka] (s1' and t1' are integers between 1 and 100, and s1' + t1' = integer between 2 and 200.)
[0029] The perfluoropolyether compound represented by the above general formula (2) is B 1 When carbon atoms are present, those represented by the following formula are preferred. [ka] (v1 and w1 are integers between 1 and 100, and v1 + w1 = an integer between 2 and 200. Each repeating unit shown in parentheses with v1 and w1 can be randomly combined.)
[0030] The amount of alkenyl groups contained in the perfluoropolyether compound of component (A) is preferably 0.002 to 0.3 mol / 100g, and more preferably 0.008 to 0.12 mol / 100g. If the amount of alkenyl groups contained in the perfluoropolyether compound is less than 0.002 mol / 100g, the degree of crosslinking will be insufficient and curing defects may occur, which is undesirable. If the amount of alkenyl groups exceeds 0.3 mol / 100g, the mechanical properties of the cured product as a rubber elastic body may be impaired, which is also undesirable. In the present invention, the amount of alkenyl groups is 1 It can be measured by 1H-NMR (the same applies in the examples).
[0031] The viscosity (at 23°C) of the perfluoropolyether compound of component (A) is preferably in the range of 40 to 100,000 mPa·s, more preferably 50 to 50,000 mPa·s, and even more preferably 60 to 20,000 mPa·s, so that the cured product has appropriate physical properties when the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention is used for sealing, potting, coating, impregnation, etc. Within this viscosity range, the most appropriate viscosity can be selected depending on the application. In the present invention, viscosity (at 23°C) can be measured using a rotational viscometer or the like (e.g., BL type, BH type, BS type, cone plate type, rheometer, etc.) (the same applies hereinafter).
[0032] (A) Component may use one of these perfluoropolyether compounds alone or in combination of two or more.
[0033] [(B) Component] Component (B) used in the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention is a fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound represented by the following general formula (1) and having two or more hydrosilyl groups. Specifically, it is a compound having two or more hydrosilyl groups, in which all the linkages between silicon atoms consist of a sylalkylene structure (the alkylene groups in the sylalkylene structure may be partially fluorine-substituted fluorine-substituted alkylene groups), and does not contain siloxane bonds. [ka] (In the formula, Rf is a monovalent perfluoropolyether group, A is a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may contain at least one selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon atoms, R is independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, x is an integer from 1 to 3, B is independently a monovalent organic group having one or more diorganohydrosilyl groups and forming a sylalkylene structure with a linked silicon atom, and when x is 1, B has two or more diorganohydrosilyl groups. y is 1 or 2.)
[0034] In the general formula (1) above, Rf is a monovalent perfluoropolyether group. Rf is introduced to impart compatibility with the base oil in fluoropolyether-based curable compositions (particularly thermosetting fluoropolyether-based compositions). Compared to perfluoroalkyl groups, perfluoropolyether groups have a greater effect in imparting compatibility with the base oil when introduced into organohydrogen silane compounds, and can yield fluoropolyether-based cured products with excellent properties.
[0035] In particular, Rf in the above general formula (1) is preferably a monovalent perfluoropolyether group represented by the following general formula (5). [ka] (In the formula, D is a fluorine atom or a perfluorooxyalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a, b, c, and d are each independent integers from 0 to 100, with 2 ≤ a + b + c + d ≤ 100, preferably a is an integer from 0 to 50, b is an integer from 0 to 50, c is an integer from 0 to 50, d is an integer from 0 to 50, with 5 ≤ a + b + c + d ≤ 50, more preferably a is an integer from 0 to 10, b is an integer from 0 to 40, c is an integer from 0 to 30, d is an integer from 0 to 30, with 6 ≤ a + b + c + d ≤ 40, and even more preferably 7 ≤ a + b + c + d ≤ 30, and e is an integer from 1 to 3. Each repeating unit shown in the parentheses above may be randomly linked, and each of these units may be linear or branched.)
[0036] In the above general formula (5), D is a fluorine atom or a perfluorooxyalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and as a perfluorooxyalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, C g F 2g+1 It can be represented as O-(where g is an integer from 1 to 6), and specifically, the base can be represented by the following formula. CF3O- CF3CF2O- CF3CF2CF2O- CF3CF(CF3)O- CF3CF2CF2CF2O- CF3CF2CF2CF2CF2CF2O- D is preferably a fluorine atom.
[0037] In the above general formula (5), if a+b+c+d is less than 2, the compatibility between the fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound and the base oil may be low, which is undesirable. On the other hand, if a+b+c+d is greater than 100, the viscosity of the fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound becomes high, and at the same time, the viscosity of the thermosetting fluoropolyether composition to which the fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound is added also becomes too high, which is undesirable.
[0038] Examples of monovalent perfluoropolyether groups represented by the above general formula (5) include the following: [ka] (In the formula, g is an integer between 1 and 6, c' is an integer between 2 and 100, b' is an integer between 2 and 100, and e' is 2 or 3. c'' and d' are integers between 0 and 100, c'' + d' is an integer between 2 and 100, and a' is an integer between 2 and 100. Each repeating unit shown in parentheses with c'' and d' can be randomly combined.)
[0039] In the above general formula (1), A is a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may contain at least one selected from oxygen atoms, nitrogen atoms, and silicon atoms, preferably a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may contain at least one selected from oxygen atoms, nitrogen atoms, and silicon atoms, and is a C1 to C12 alkylene group including a C1 to C12 alkylene group, a C6 to C8 arylene group (for example, a C8 to C20 alkylene-arylene group), and a C1 to C10 alkylene group bonded to each other via a diorganosilylene group. Examples of divalent groups include divalent groups in which an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and an arylene group having 6 to 8 carbon atoms are linked via a diorganosilylene group, and divalent groups having at least one selected from an ether-linked oxygen atom, a secondary amino group (imino group), a tertiary amino group (substituted imino group), and an amide bond. In particular, it is preferable that the molecular chain contains at least one selected from an ether-linked oxygen atom, a secondary amino group (imino group), a tertiary amino group (substituted imino group), and an amide bond. When A contains a silicon atom (diorganosilylene group), it is preferable that the silicon atom (diorganosilylene group) and the silicon atom to which A is linked are linked via an alkylene group (preferably an unsubstituted or fluorine-substituted alkylene group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, more preferably an ethylene group) to form a sylalkylene structure.

[0049] [Method for producing fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compounds] A method for producing the fluorine-containing organohydrosilane compound represented by the above general formula (1) of component (B) preferably includes a step of introducing two or more diorganohydrosilyl groups into the fluorine-containing compound in a predetermined linkage structure by a hydrosilylation reaction using, for example, a fluorine-containing compound containing an alkenyl group (vinyl group) represented by the following general formula (1A) and an organohydrosilane compound having at least three diorganohydrosilyl groups represented by the following general formula (1B). [ka] [ka]
[0050] In general formula (1A), A 2 R is a divalent organic group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, which may contain at least one selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon atoms. The explanations for Rf, R, B, y, and x in the above general formulas (1A) and (1B) are the same as the explanations for Rf, R, B, y, and x in the above general formula (1). That is, in the above general formulas (1A) and (1B), Rf is a monovalent perfluoropolyether group, R is independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, x is an integer from 1 to 3, B is independently a monovalent organic group having one or more diorganohydrosilyl groups and forming a sylalkylene structure with a linked silicon atom, and when x is 1, B has two or more diorganohydrosilyl groups. y is 1 or 2.

In particular, it is preferable that the molecular chain contains at least one selected from an ether-bonded oxygen atom, a secondary amino group (imino group), a tertiary amino group (substituted imino group), and an amide bond.
[0052] A 2 Specifically, it is preferable that it be represented by one of the following general formulas. [ka] [ka] (In the formula, X 0 , X 1 , X 2 ,f is the same as above, and these explanations are for X in equation (1) above. 0 , X 1 , X 2 The explanation is the same as for f. f' is an integer between 0 and 4. Bonds marked with an asterisk (*) bond with the vinyl group in the general formula (1A) above, while unmarked bonds bond with Rf.
[0053] A, represented by the above general formula 2 Examples of such structures include the following: [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] (In the formula, Me is a methyl group and Et is an ethyl group. Bonds marked with an asterisk (*) are bonded to the vinyl group in the general formula (1A) above, and unmarked bonds are bonded to Rf.)
[0054] The following shows the manufacturing steps (reaction equation) for a preferred method of producing fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compounds. [ka]
[0055] The explanations for Rf, A, R, B, y, and x in the reaction equation shown in the above process are the same as the explanations for Rf, A, R, B, y, and x in the general formula (1) above. 2 The explanation is for A in the general formula (1A) above. 2 This is the same as the previous explanation. M is a metal catalyst.
[0056] In the above process, a fluorine-containing organohydrosilane compound represented by the above general formula (1) is produced by hydrosilylation reacting a fluorine-containing compound represented by the above general formula (1A), which has an alkenyl group (preferably a vinyl group or an allyl group) at the end of its molecular chain, with an organohydrosilane compound represented by the above general formula (1B), which has at least three diorganohydrosilyl groups in its molecule, in the presence of a metal catalyst (M).
[0057] In the above reaction, the following compounds can be used as fluorine-containing compounds represented by the above general formula (1A) and having an alkenyl group (preferably a vinyl group or an allyl group) at the end of the molecular chain. [ka] (In the formula, b' is an integer between 2 and 100, c''' and d'' are integers between 1 and 99, c'''' + d'' = an integer between 2 and 100, Me is a methyl group, and Et is an ethyl group. Each repeating unit shown in parentheses with c''' and d'' may be randomly bonded.)
[0058] Examples of organohydrosilane compounds represented by the above general formula (1B) and having at least three diorganohydrosilyl groups in the molecule include the following compounds. [ka] [ka] (In the formula, Me is a methyl group, Et is an ethyl group, and Ph is a phenyl group.)
[0059] The amount of the fluorine-containing compound represented by the above general formula (1A) and having an alkenyl group (preferably a vinyl group or an allyl group) at the end of its molecular chain used is such that the amount of alkenyl group in the fluorine-containing compound is 0.16 to 0.30 equivalents, preferably 0.20 to 0.25 equivalents, relative to the amount of hydrosilyl group in the compound represented by the above general formula (1B). If the amount of alkenyl group in the fluorine-containing compound is less than 0.16 equivalents relative to the amount of hydrosilyl group in the compound represented by the above general formula (1B), it is undesirable because it may cause problems such as turbidity or thickening when the resulting fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound is added to a fluoropolyether-based curable composition, or because uncured areas may be scattered on the surface of the cured product obtained by thermal curing. Furthermore, if the amount of alkenyl groups in the fluorine-containing compound exceeds 0.30 equivalents relative to the amount of hydrosilyl groups in the compound represented by the general formula (1A), the amount of hydrosilyl groups in the resulting fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound becomes too low, making it difficult for the fluoropolyether-based curable composition to cure, which is undesirable.
[0060] Furthermore, the above reaction step can be accelerated by adding M (metal catalyst). M is not particularly limited as long as it is a metal catalyst capable of catalyzing hydrosilylation, but compounds containing metal atoms such as platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, and palladium can be suitably used. For example, chloroplatinic acid or complexes of chloroplatinic acid with olefins such as ethylene, complexes with alcohols or vinylsiloxanes, metallic platinum supported on silica, alumina, carbon, etc., RhCl(PPh3)3, RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2, Ru3(CO) 12 Examples include IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 and Pd(PPh3)4. In the above formula, Ph represents a phenyl group. Among these, platinum compounds are particularly preferred.
[0061] When using these catalysts, if they are solid catalysts, they can be used in solid form, but to allow the reaction to proceed more rapidly, it is preferable to use the metal catalyst dissolved in a suitable solvent. When adding, it is desirable to add them dropwise after confirming that the system in which the fluorine-containing compound represented by the above general formula (1A) and having an alkenyl group (preferably a vinyl group or allyl group) at the end of the molecular chain, or the organohydrosilane compound represented by the above general formula (1B) and having at least three diorganohydrosilyl groups in the molecule coexists has been heated to a predetermined temperature. The predetermined temperature is preferably 50°C or higher, and more preferably 65°C or higher.
[0062] When a fluorine-containing compound represented by the above general formula (1A) and having an alkenyl group (preferably a vinyl group or allyl group) at the end of its molecular chain, or an organohydrosilane compound represented by the above general formula (1B) and having at least three diorganohydrosilyl groups in its molecule, is in a solid state, or when these compounds do not dissolve in each other, they may be dissolved in a small amount of organic solvent before adding M (metal catalyst). Examples of usable solvents include benzene, toluene, xylene, and 1,3-bistrifluoromethylbenzene, with 1,3-bistrifluoromethylbenzene being preferred.
[0063] The amount of hydrosilyl groups in the fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound of component (B) is preferably 0.05 to 0.35 mol / 100g, and more preferably 0.06 to 0.30 mol / 100g. In the present invention, the amount of hydrosilyl groups is 1 It can be measured by 1H-NMR (the same applies in the examples).
[0064] The amount of component (B) is such that, for every mole of alkenyl groups such as vinyl groups and allyl groups in component (A), there are 0.1 to 2.5 moles, preferably 0.2 to 2 moles, of hydrogen atoms (hydrosilyl groups, i.e., Si-H groups) bonded to silicon atoms in component (B). If there are too few hydrosilyl groups, the degree of crosslinking will be insufficient, resulting in no cured product being obtained. If there are too many, foaming will occur during curing.
[0065] In the method for producing the fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compound of component (B), the target product may be isolated after the reaction is complete. Furthermore, as long as the properties of the present invention are not impaired, mixtures containing unreacted materials and by-products may also be used after removing the addition reaction catalyst. In either case, the mixture should contain 0.1 to 2.5 moles, preferably 0.2 to 2 moles, of hydrosilyl groups, i.e., Si-H groups, per mole of alkenyl groups such as vinyl groups and allyl groups in component (A).
[0066] Component (B) may consist of one of these fluorine-containing organohydrogen silane compounds alone, or two or more may be used in combination.
[0067] [(C) component] Component (C) used in the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention is a platinum group metal catalyst. This is a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst that promotes the addition reaction between the alkenyl group in component (A) and the hydrosilyl group in component (B) and the optional components such as adhesion improvers and adhesion promoters described later. Since this hydrosilylation reaction catalyst is generally a compound of a precious metal and is expensive, platinum or platinum compounds, which are relatively easy to obtain, are often used.
[0068] Examples of platinum compounds include chloroplatinic acid or complexes of chloroplatinic acid with olefins such as ethylene, complexes with alcohols or vinylsiloxanes, and metallic platinum supported on silica, alumina, carbon, etc. Besides platinum compounds, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and palladium-based compounds are also known as platinum group metal catalysts, such as RhCl(PPh3)3, RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2, and Ru3(CO). 12 Examples include IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 and Pd(PPh3)4. In the above formula, Ph represents a phenyl group.
[0069] When using these catalysts, if they are solid catalysts, they can be used in solid form. However, to obtain a more uniform cured product, it is preferable to dissolve chloroplatinic acid or the complex in a suitable solvent and make it compatible with the perfluoropolyether compound of component (A).
[0070] The amount of component (C) used may be a catalytic amount, but it is preferable to blend it at a concentration of 0.1 to 1,000 ppm (in terms of platinum group metal atoms) relative to the mass of component (A), and more preferably at 1 to 500 ppm. Component (C) can be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
[0071] [Other ingredients] In the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention, in order to enhance its practicality, various additives such as adhesion improvers (adhesion imparters), plasticizers, viscosity modifiers, flexibility imparters, hydrosilylation reaction catalyst control agents, inorganic fillers, adhesion promoters, and silane coupling agents may be added as needed, in addition to the components (A) to (C) above. The amount of these additives added is arbitrary, as long as it does not impair the objectives of the present invention and does not impair the properties of the composition or the physical properties of the cured product.
[0072] The adhesion enhancer acts as an adhesion enhancer to induce self-adhesion in the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention when incorporated, and is an organohydrogen polysiloxane compound having one or more hydrogen atoms (Si-H group) bonded to a silicon atom and one or more epoxy groups and / or trialkoxysilyl groups bonded to a silicon atom via a carbon atom or a carbon atom and an oxygen atom in one molecule. Although the adhesion enhancer has a molecular structure corresponding to a fluorine-containing organohydrogen siloxane, making it difficult to maintain long-term self-adhesion to hydrofluoric acid or electrolytes for lithium-ion secondary batteries by using this adhesion enhancer, it is extremely effective in situations requiring initial self-adhesion, such as during the manufacturing process of articles having cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention.
[0073] In the above adhesion improver, it is more preferable to have one or more perfluoroalkyl groups or monovalent perfluoropolyether groups (perfluorooxyalkyl groups) bonded to silicon atoms via a divalent linking group containing at least one selected from oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and silicon atoms in one molecule, particularly bonded to silicon atoms via a divalent linking group containing nitrogen and carbon atoms, or bonded to silicon atoms via a divalent linking group containing nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms. As for such perfluoroalkyl groups, C j F 2j+1 A group represented by -(j is an integer from 1 to 10, preferably from 3 to 7) is an example. Furthermore, examples of monovalent perfluoropolyether groups include those similar to those exemplified by Rf in formula (1) shown in component (B) above. Additionally, as the divalent linking group connecting this perfluoroalkyl group or monovalent perfluoropolyether group to the silicon atom, a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms (preferably a hydrocarbon group) may be used, which may contain at least one selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon atoms.
[0074] The siloxane skeleton of the polysiloxane organohydrogen compound used as an adhesion improver may be cyclic, linear, branched, or a mixture of two or more of these, but it is preferably cyclic. The polysiloxane organohydrogen compound used as an adhesion improver can be one represented by the following general formula.

[0103] The adhesion promoter, when included with the adhesion enhancer, is intended to improve the adhesion-imparting ability of the adhesion enhancer and promote the self-adhesion of the cured product obtained by curing the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention. In particular, carboxylic acid anhydrides can be suitably used.
[0104] Examples of carboxylic acid anhydrides include solid carboxylic acid anhydrides at 23°C. Specifically, the following compounds are examples. In the following formulas, Me represents a methyl group. [ka]
[0105] Furthermore, the carboxylic acid anhydride may be a cyclic organopolysiloxane (i.e., a fluorine-containing organopolysiloxane-modified carboxylic anhydride compound) having a hydrogen atom directly bonded to a silicon atom, a perfluoroalkyl group or perfluorooxyalkyl group bonded to a silicon atom via a divalent hydrocarbon group which may contain at least one selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon atoms, and a cyclic carboxylic anhydride residue bonded to a silicon atom via a divalent hydrocarbon group. Examples of such compounds can be found in those represented by the following general formula (15). Although this fluorine-containing organopolysiloxane-modified carboxylic anhydride compound has a molecular structure corresponding to a fluorine-containing organohydrogensiloxane, and therefore it is difficult to maintain long-term self-adhesion to hydrofluoric acid or electrolytes for lithium-ion secondary batteries by using this compound, it is extremely effective in cases where initial self-adhesion is required, such as during the manufacturing process of articles having cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention. [ka] (In the formula, L 2 J is a monovalent perfluoropolyether group independently bonded to a silicon atom via a divalent hydrocarbon group, J is a cyclic carboxylic anhydride residue independently bonded to a silicon atom via a divalent hydrocarbon group, and R 8 ∫ is independently an unsubstituted or halogen-substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group, where t2 is an integer from 1 to 6, u2 is an integer from 1 to 4, v2 is an integer from 1 to 4, and t2+u2+v2 is an integer from 4 to 10.

[0106] In the above equation (15), L2 L is a monovalent perfluoropolyether group bonded to a silicon atom via a divalent hydrocarbon group, and the above L 1 Similar groups can be cited. These groups are introduced from the viewpoint of compatibility with component (A), dispersibility, and uniformity after curing.
[0107] Furthermore, in equation (15) above, R 8 is an unsubstituted or halogen-substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group, and the above R 2 Similar groups can be mentioned, with methyl and ethyl groups being preferred.
[0108] Furthermore, in formula (15) above, J is a cyclic carboxylic anhydride residue bonded to a silicon atom via a divalent hydrocarbon group, and specifically, a group represented by the following general formula can be mentioned. [ka]
[0109] In the above formula, R 9 This is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 2 to 15 carbon atoms, specifically including ethylene, propylene, and butylene groups, with propylene being preferred.
[0110] Furthermore, in the above formula (15), t2 is an integer from 1 to 6, preferably from 2 to 5; u2 is an integer from 1 to 4, preferably from 1 to 3; v2 is an integer from 1 to 4, preferably from 1 to 3; and t2 + u2 + v2 is an integer from 4 to 10, preferably from 4 to 8. However, ((H)(R 8 )SiO) Unit, ((L 2 )(R 8 )SiO) units, and ((J)(R 8 The order of the SiO units is random.
[0111] Examples of cyclic organopolysiloxanes represented by the above general formula (15) include the following compounds. In the following formula, Me represents a methyl group. [ka] (In the formula, t2' = 2 or 3, and b2' = an integer between 2 and 20.) [ka] (In the formula, v2' = 2 or 3, and b2' = an integer between 2 and 20.)
[0112] These adhesion promoters may be used individually or in combination of two or more. In this case, the carboxylic acid anhydride, which is solid at 23°C, may be used in combination with the cyclic organopolysiloxane (fluorine-containing organopolysiloxane-modified carboxylic acid anhydride compound).
[0113] When an adhesion promoter is included, the amount is preferably 0.01 to 2 parts by mass, and more preferably 0.05 to 1 part by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). Furthermore, it is preferable that the amount of hydrosilyl groups (Si-H groups) in the adhesion promoter is 0.005 to 0.5 moles, and particularly 0.05 to 0.1 moles, per mole of alkenyl groups in component (A). Furthermore, it is preferable that the total amount of hydrosilyl groups contained in the composition (particularly the total amount of hydrosilyl groups in component (B), the adhesion improver, and the adhesion promoter) per mole of alkenyl groups in component (A) is 0.1 to 2.5 moles, and more preferably 0.2 to 2 moles.
[0114] [Method for producing a fluoropolyether-based curable composition] The method for producing the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and it can be produced by kneading the above components together. Specifically, the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention can be produced by uniformly mixing the above components (A) to (C) and other optional components using a mixing device such as a planetary mixer, Ross mixer, or Hobart mixer, and, if necessary, a kneading device such as a kneader or a three-roll mixer. Alternatively, the composition may consist of two components that are mixed at the time of use.
[0115] The produced fluoropolyether-based curable composition can be cured at room temperature depending on the type of the catalyst of component (C), but heating is often performed to accelerate the curing. In particular, in order to exhibit good adhesion to various substrates, it is preferable to cure at 60°C or higher, preferably at 100 to 200°C for about several minutes to several hours.
[0116] In using the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention, the composition may be dissolved in a suitable fluorine-based solvent, such as 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, Fluorinert (manufactured by 3M), perfluorobutyl methyl ether, perfluorobutyl ethyl ether, etc. to a desired concentration according to its use and purpose. In particular, it is preferable to use a solvent for thin film coating applications.
[0117] The fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention is preferably used as electrical and electronic components for automobiles, chemical plants, semiconductor manufacturing lines, analytical and physicochemical instruments, residential environments, communication equipment, communication facilities, aircraft, railway vehicles, portable devices, power storage devices, robots, or lithium ion batteries. In particular, electrical and electronic components using the cured product of the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of the present invention as a gasket, packing, protective seal, or coating layer are preferable.

A curable composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 otherwise, and a transparent oil was obtained. This indicates that component (B5) and component (A1) have high compatibility. [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka]
[0130] [Comparative Example 1] In Example 1, instead of (B1) the compound represented by formula (18) above, 2.26 parts of (B6) the compound represented by formula (32) above (hydrosilyl group amount 0.616 mol / 100 g) were used, and the curable composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, and a cloudy oil was obtained.

[0131] [Comparative Example 2] In Example 1, instead of (B1) the compound represented by formula (18) above, 3.52 parts of (B7) the compound represented by formula (33) below (Patent Document 5: Compound described in Example 1 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-012769, hydrosilyl group amount: 0.408 mol / 100 g) were used, and the curable composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, and a slightly cloudy oil was obtained.

[0133] <Confirmation of the presence or absence of oily components (uncured areas) on the surface of fluoropolyether-based cured products, and evaluation of the release properties of the cured products> The fluoropolyether-based curable compositions prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were poured into a 2mm thick stainless steel mold placed on a Teflon (registered trademark, hereinafter the same) sheet, sandwiched between another Teflon sheet, and then press-cured at 150°C for 10 minutes. After press-curing, the release properties of the fluoropolyether-based cured product obtained by removing the 2mm thick stainless steel mold and the residual oily components on the surface of the cured product were evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. The results, along with the appearance of the fluoropolyether-based curable compositions, are shown in Table 1. [Evaluation Criteria] ○: The hardened material could be easily peeled off the Teflon sheet without damaging it, and no oily residue was observed on the surface of the peeled-off hardened material. ×: It was difficult to peel the cured material from the Teflon sheet without damaging it, and oily residue was observed on the surface of the peeled-off cured material.
[0134] [Table 1]
[0135] In Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 3, no uncured oily components were observed on the surface of the cured fluoropolyether cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether curable compositions. This is because component (B) in the fluoropolyether curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 3 showed high compatibility with component (A), resulting in almost all of component (B) and component (A) reacting. Furthermore, the cured products could be easily peeled off the Teflon sheet after press curing, confirming that there were no problems with release properties. On the other hand, uncured oily components were observed on the surface of the fluoropolyether cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether curable compositions of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. This is thought to be because components (B6) and (B7) had poor compatibility with component (A), resulting in insufficient reaction with component (A) during thermal curing, leaving unreacted material as oily components on the surface of the cured fluoropolyether products. Furthermore, the press curing process caused the cured material to adhere to the Teflon sheet, resulting in poor release properties, such as the material breaking or chipping when peeled off the Teflon sheet.
[0136] The fluoropolyether-based cured products obtained above were subjected to post-curing at 200°C for 4 hours, and then evaluated for heat resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, and electrolyte resistance. The results are shown in Tables 2 to 5.
[0137] <Heat resistance> The physical properties of the fluoropolyether cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were evaluated in accordance with JIS K 6249. Next, the fluoropolyether cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were left in an oven at 150°C for 7 days. The physical properties of the cured products were then evaluated in accordance with JIS K 6249, and the change in hardness, tensile strength (%), and elongation at break (%) were calculated using the following formulas. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0138] Change in hardness = (Hardness of the hardened material after 7 days at 150°C) - (Initial hardness of the hardened material) Tensile strength change rate (%) = ((Tensile strength of cured material after 150°C / 7 days) - (Initial tensile strength of cured material)) / (Initial tensile strength of cured material) × 100 Change in elongation at break (%) = ((Elongation at break of cured material after 7 days at 150°C) - (Initial elongation at break of cured material)) / (Initial elongation at break of cured material) × 100
[0139] [Table 2]
[0140] <Chemical resistance> The fluoropolyether cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were immersed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated hydrofluoric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, and 40% by mass KOH (potassium hydroxide) aqueous solutions at 20°C for 3 days, and the change in hardness was measured relative to the hardness before immersion. The same formula as used in the heat resistance test was used to calculate the change in hardness. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0141] [Table 3]
[0142] The results in Table 3 confirm that the cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 exhibited excellent durability against all of the above-mentioned chemicals. On the other hand, the cured product obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of Comparative Example 3 was found to have poor durability against concentrated hydrofluoric acid and trifluoroacetic acid.
[0143] <Solvent resistance> Using fluoropolyether cured products (cured product samples) obtained from the fluoropolyether curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3, immersion tests (immersion time: 70 hours) were conducted in various organic solvents shown in Table 4 in accordance with JIS K 6258, and the volume change rate (%) before and after immersion was measured to evaluate solvent swelling resistance. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0144] [Table 4] *1) IPA: Isopropyl alcohol *2) MEK: Methyl ethyl ketone *3) THF: Tetrahydrofuran
[0145] The results in Table 4 confirm that the cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable compositions of Examples 1 to 7 exhibited excellent durability against all of the above-mentioned solvents, similar to the cured products obtained from the curable fluoropolyether-based curable compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3.
[0146] <Electrolyte resistance> The fluoropolyether cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were immersed in lithium-ion battery electrolyte (manufactured by Kishida Chemical Co., Ltd.) at 80°C for 3 days. The degree of deterioration of the cured products was evaluated based on the changes in hardness, stickiness, and appearance of the cured products before and after immersion, according to the evaluation criteria below.
[0147] [Evaluation Criteria] [Hardness] ○: Almost no change in hardness was observed before and after immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte. ×: A significant decrease in hardness was observed after immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte. [Stickiness] ○: There was no change in the stickiness of the cured surface after immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte. ×: Immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte caused the surface of the cured material to become sticky. 〔exterior〕 ○: Almost no change in appearance was observed before and after immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte. ×: Swelling, deformation, and decomposition of the hardened material were observed upon immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte.
[0148] [Table 5]
[0149] The cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable compositions of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 showed almost no change in hardness, surface stickiness, or appearance before and after immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte. This indicates that the above compositions and cured products can be applied to lithium-ion battery applications. On the other hand, the cured product obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable composition of Comparative Example 3 showed changes such as swelling and surface decomposition upon immersion in lithium-ion battery electrolyte. Furthermore, the cured product easily tore when both ends were pulled.
[0150] The results above demonstrate that the cured products obtained from the fluoropolyether-based curable compositions of Examples 1 to 7 exhibit both durability against hydrofluoric acid and electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, as well as release properties, thus illustrating the effectiveness of the present invention.
