Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a double-sided adhesive sheet. [Background technology]
[0002] Adhesive sheets used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) require various properties, including high adhesive strength. For example, in addition to having high adhesive strength, they must not peel off even when subjected to impact, and must not be subjected to strong impacts to components.
[0003] Patent Document 1 describes an impact-absorbing adhesive sheet using a substrate having an impact-absorbing layer in which the maximum value of the loss tangent tanδ at a specific frequency at 23°C is adjusted to be above a specific value. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2016 / 093133 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0005] In recent years, in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted at the 2015 UN Summit, industrial bonding materials, including adhesive sheets, have been required to be easily disassembled (reworkable) at any time and in any way, in order to increase the recycling and reuse rate of the materials being bonded (adhered objects). For this reason, adhesive sheets are sometimes expected to have excellent functions in both impact resistance, meaning they will not peel off even when subjected to impact, and reworkability.
[0006] In this respect, while shock-absorbing adhesive sheets like the one described in Patent Document 1 excel at absorbing energy when subjected to impacts such as drops, they also dissipate the deformation energy necessary for dismantling, making dismantling time-consuming. Increasing rigidity and reducing dissipated energy would compromise shock absorption, thus reducing impact resistance. For this reason, it is difficult to achieve both impact resistance and reworkability with conventional adhesive sheets that use the shock-absorbing layer described in Patent Document 1 as a base material.
[0007] This invention was conceived under these circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a double-sided adhesive sheet that is highly impact-resistant and highly reworkable. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] As a result of diligent research to achieve the above objective, the inventors of this invention have found that, with a specific adhesive sheet, it is possible to provide a double-sided adhesive sheet that is excellent in impact resistance and reworkability. This invention was completed based on these findings.
[0009] In other words, the present invention comprises a base material and an adhesive layer provided on both sides of the base material. The above substrate has a maximum loss tangent tanδ of 0.83 or less at 23°C and frequencies from 10kHz to 3.5MHz, and a thickness of 40μm or more. The Z-axis adhesive strength of the above adhesive layer at 23°C is 0.6 MPa or higher, and the strain is 100% or higher. The present invention provides a double-sided adhesive sheet having a tensile breaking strength of 5 MPa or more and a strain of 100% or more at the time of fracture.
[0010] When the above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet is attached to a stainless steel plate in a 2cm x 2cm size and peeled off under conditions of a temperature of 23°C and a peeling angle of 30°, it is preferable that the time required for complete peeling is 120 seconds or less.
[0011] The above double-sided adhesive sheet preferably has a thickness of 60 to 400 μm.
[0012] The adhesive constituting the adhesive layer preferably contains at least an acrylic adhesive, a polyester adhesive, a rubber adhesive, or a urethane adhesive.
[0013] The adhesive layer preferably contains a filler whose surface is composed of an olefin resin.
[0014] The base material preferably contains at least a polyurethane resin, a rubber resin, or a polyolefin resin.
[0015] The above double-sided adhesive sheet is preferably used for fixing members to each other in electric and electronic devices.
[0016] Also, the present invention provides an electric and electronic device including the above double-sided adhesive sheet, where the double-sided adhesive sheet fixes members to each other on both adhesive surfaces.
Advantages of the Invention
[0017] According to the double-sided adhesive sheet of the present invention, it is possible to provide an adhesive sheet having excellent impact resistance and excellent reworkability. Therefore, for example, when used in a portable electronic device, even when it receives a dropping impact or the adherend is deformed, breakage or peeling is unlikely to occur, and yet it can be easily peeled off when intentionally trying to peel off the double-sided adhesive sheet.

[0091] As the above-mentioned peroxide-based crosslinking agent, any agent that generates radical active species upon heat to promote crosslinking of the base polymer can be used as appropriate. However, considering workability and stability, it is preferable to use a peroxide with a 1-minute half-life temperature of 80 to 160°C, and more preferably a peroxide with a half-life temperature of 90 to 140°C.

[0093] The half-life of the peroxide-based crosslinking agent mentioned above is an indicator of the decomposition rate of the peroxide, and refers to the time it takes for the amount of remaining peroxide to be halved. The decomposition temperature required to obtain a half-life at any given time, and the half-life time at any given temperature, are described in manufacturer catalogs, for example, in NOF Corporation's "Organic Peroxide Catalog, 9th Edition (May 2003)". The amount of remaining decomposed peroxide after reaction treatment can be measured, for example, by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography). More specifically, for example, approximately 0.2 g of the adhesive after reaction treatment is taken, immersed in 10 ml of ethyl acetate, and extracted by shaking at 120 rpm at 25°C for 3 hours, then left to stand at room temperature for 3 days. Next, 10 ml of acetonitrile is added, shaken at 120 rpm at 25°C for 30 minutes, filtered through a membrane filter (0.45 μm), and approximately 10 μl of the resulting extract is injected into HPLC for analysis to determine the amount of peroxide after reaction treatment.
[0094] When a peroxide-based crosslinking agent is used as the crosslinking agent, the content of the crosslinking agent is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 2 parts by mass or less, more preferably 0.02 to 2 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.05 to 1 part by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of monomer components constituting the acrylic polymer and / or polyester resin.
[0095] Furthermore, organic crosslinking agents or polyfunctional metal chelates may be used in combination as the crosslinking agent.

It is even more preferable to include another crosslinking agent together with the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent. Among the above other crosslinking agents, an epoxy-based crosslinking agent is preferred. When such a crosslinking agent is used, a combination with the above acrylic polymer and / or the above polyester resin (particularly the preferred combination with the above acrylic polymer and / or the above polyester resin) can be made to create an adhesive layer that is thin but has superior adhesion.

[0099] The adhesive layer may contain a tackifying resin. When a tackifying resin is included, the adhesive layer tends to have better adhesion even when thin. When the adhesive layer contains an acrylic adhesive and / or a polyester adhesive and a tackifying resin, it has excellent adhesion to the adherend and is less likely to peel off.
[0100] Examples of the tackifying resins mentioned above include phenolic tackifying resins, terpene tackifying resins, rosin tackifying resins, hydrocarbon tackifying resins, epoxy tackifying resins, polyamide tackifying resins, elastomer tackifying resins, and ketone tackifying resins.

The above-mentioned terpene phenol resins are polymers containing terpene residues and phenol residues, and include copolymers of terpenes and phenol compounds (terpene-phenol copolymer resins), and phenol-modified homopolymers or copolymers of terpenes (phenol-modified terpene resins).

[0105] The content of the tackifying resin in the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 1 part by mass or more (for example, 1 to 100 parts by mass) per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the base polymer, preferably 5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 10 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 15 parts by mass or more. When the content is 1 part by mass or more, the adhesive layer has even better adhesion even when it is thin. From the viewpoint of excellent heat resistance and cohesiveness, the content is preferably 100 parts by mass or less, more preferably 60 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 50 parts by mass or less.
[0106] The above adhesive layer may or may not contain a filler. Including the filler reduces the tackiness of the adhesive layer when attempting to intentionally peel off the double-sided adhesive sheet, resulting in improved reworkability. The filler may be used alone or two or more types.
[0107] Examples of fillers include particulate organic and inorganic materials. Examples of materials constituting the inorganic materials include metals such as copper, silver, gold, platinum, nickel, aluminum, chromium, iron, and stainless steel; metal oxides such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide (silicon dioxide, silica), titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, copper oxide, and nickel oxide; aluminum hydroxide, boehmite, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, silicic acid, iron hydroxide, copper hydroxide, barium hydroxide, zirconium oxide hydrate, tin oxide hydrate, basic magnesium carbonate, and hydrotalus.

[0108] Examples of materials constituting the above-mentioned organic matter include polystyrene, acrylic resin (e.g., polymethyl methacrylate), phenolic resin, benzoguanamine resin, urea resin, silicone resin, polyester, polyurethane, polyolefin (polymers with one or more α-olefins as monomer components; for example, polyethylene such as LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, polypropylene, etc.), polyamide (e.g., nylon, etc.), polyimide, polyvinylidene chloride, and other polymers.
[0109] The filler described above may have a hollow structure. The hollow portion of the filler having the hollow structure (the space inside the hollow particle) may be in a vacuum state or may be filled with a medium. Examples of the medium include inert gases such as nitrogen and argon, air, and volatile solvents.
[0110] Among the above fillers, fillers whose surface is composed of an organic or inorganic material other than the base polymer type, and fillers having a hollow structure are preferred. The organic material other than the base polymer type is, for example, an organic material other than an acrylic polymer when the base polymer is an acrylic polymer, and an organic material other than a polyester resin when the base polymer is a polyester resin.
[0111] The above-mentioned filler may be a filler with different internal and external compositions (core-shell type filler), or it may be a filler with the same internal and external composition (filler without a boundary between internal and external).
[0112] Examples of fillers whose surfaces are composed of organic materials other than the base polymer include fillers whose surfaces are composed of olefin resins and fillers whose surfaces are composed of silicone resins. Examples of fillers whose surfaces are composed of olefin resins include olefin-based fillers which are composed entirely of olefin resins and fillers whose surfaces are composed of olefin resins and whose interiors are composed of different materials. Examples of fillers whose surfaces are composed of silicone resins include silicone-based fillers which are composed entirely of silicone resins and fillers whose surfaces are composed of silicone resins and whose interiors are composed of different materials. Such fillers have little interaction with the acrylic components in the acrylic adhesive layer and the monomer components in the polyester adhesive layer, are less likely to break when the adhesive layer is stretched, and have superior reworkability.
[0113] Examples of filler shapes include spherical, flake-like (scaly), dendritic, fibrous, and amorphous (polyhedral). Among these, spherical is preferred from the viewpoint of excellent uniform dispersion.
[0114] The average particle size of the entire filler is, for example, 0.5 μm or more, preferably 0.8 μm or more (for example, 3 μm or more, typically 5 μm or more). When the average particle size is not less than the above numerical value, it is preferable in terms of favorably maintaining the viscosity and dispersibility of the adhesive composition. The upper limit of the average particle size is, for example, 50 μm or less, preferably 30 μm or less, more preferably 25 μm or less, and even more preferably 15 μm or less. When the average particle size becomes smaller, the decrease in adhesive performance tends to be suppressed. It is also desirable that the average particle size is small from the viewpoint of the appearance of the adhesive layer. In the present specification, the average particle size of the filler refers to the particle size (50% median diameter) at which the cumulative particle size on a weight basis is 50% in the particle size distribution obtained by measurement based on the sieving method.
[0115] The volume ratio of the filler to the total mass of the adhesive layer is 0.01×10 -2 ~30×10 -2 cm 3 / g, more preferably 0.1×10 -2 ~25×10 -2 cm 3 / g, even more preferably 0.5×10 -2 ~20×10 -2 cm 3 / g, even more preferably 0.7×10 -2 ~10×10 -2 cm 3 / g, particularly preferably 1×10 -2 ~7×10 -2 cm 3 / g. When the volume ratio is within the above range, both impact resistance and reworkability are excellent. The volume ratio of the filler is calculated as [volume of the filler in the adhesive layer (cm 3 ) / total mass of the adhesive layer (g)].
[0116] The content of the filler in the adhesive layer is preferably more than 0 parts by mass and 40 parts by mass or less, more preferably 0.008 to 30 parts by mass, even more preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by mass, even more preferably 0.2 to 10 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 0.4 to 6 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the base polymer. When the content is 40 parts by mass or less, both impact resistance and reworkability are improved.
[0117] The proportion of the filler in the adhesive layer is preferably 0.05 to 30% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 20% by mass, even more preferably 0.5 to 10% by mass, and particularly preferably 1 to 5% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the total amount of the adhesive layer. When the proportion is within the above range, the hardness of the adhesive layer can be made appropriate. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent reworkability.
[0118] The adhesive layer may, if necessary, further contain additives such as crosslinking agents, crosslinking accelerators, anti-aging agents, antioxidants, plasticizers, softeners, surfactants, antistatic agents, surface lubricants, leveling agents, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, polymerization inhibitors, foil-like materials, rust inhibitors, and colorants (dyes, pigments, etc.), to the extent that they do not impair the effects of the present invention. Each of the above additives may be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0119] The above-mentioned rust inhibitors are compounds that prevent rust and corrosion of metals. When the substrate is metal, rust and corrosion can be suppressed when the above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheets are bonded together. Examples of the above-mentioned rust inhibitors include amine compounds, benzotriazole compounds, and nitrites. Other examples include ammonium benzoate, ammonium phthalate, ammonium stearate, ammonium palmitate, ammonium oleate, ammonium carbonate, dicyclohexylamine benzoate, urea, urotropin, thiourea, phenyl carbamate, and cyclohexylammonium-N-cyclohexylcarbamate (CHC). One type of the above-mentioned rust inhibitor may be used, or two or more types may be used.
[0120] The content of the above-mentioned rust inhibitor is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.02 to 15 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the base polymer. If the content is 0.02 parts by mass or more, good corrosion prevention performance is more easily obtained. If the content is 15 parts by mass or less, transparency is more easily ensured.
[0121] Among these, benzotriazole compounds are preferred because they offer a good balance of compatibility with the base polymer, adhesive reliability, transparency, and corrosion prevention properties, as well as excellent appearance.
[0122] The content of the benzotriazole compound is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.02 to 3 parts by mass, more preferably 0.02 to 2.5 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.02 to 2 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the base polymer.
[0123] The thickness of the adhesive layer (total thickness of the adhesive layer on one side) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 12.5 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, even more preferably 40 μm or more, even more preferably 50 μm or more, and particularly preferably 60 μm or more. When the thickness is 12.5 μm or more, the impact resistance of the double-sided adhesive sheet is superior. The thickness of the adhesive layer is, for example, 200 μm or less, preferably 100 μm or less. When the thickness is 200 μm or less, the thickness of the double-sided adhesive sheet can be made thinner. The thickness of the adhesive layers on both sides may be the same or different.
[0124] The Z-axis adhesive strength of the adhesive layer described above at 23°C is 0.6 MPa or higher, preferably 0.7 MPa or higher. When the Z-axis adhesive strength is 0.6 MPa or higher, the double-sided adhesive sheet is less likely to peel off from the adherend when subjected to impact. When the double-sided adhesive sheet has multiple adhesive layers on one side of the substrate, it is preferable that the Z-axis adhesive strength of at least one adhesive layer at 23°C is within the above range, and it is more preferable that the Z-axis adhesive strength of all adhesive layers at 23°C is within the above range.
[0125] The strain (Z-axis adhesive strain) of the adhesive layer at 23°C is 100% or more, preferably 150% or more, and more preferably 200% or more. When the strain is 100% or more, the double-sided adhesive sheet is less likely to deform when subjected to impact and less likely to peel off from the adherend.

When the double-sided adhesive sheet has multiple adhesive layers on one side of the substrate, it is preferable that the strain at 23°C of at least one adhesive layer is within the above range, and it is more preferable that the strain at 23°C of all adhesive layers is within the above range. Furthermore, for the same adhesive layer, the Z-axis adhesive strength at 23°C is within the above range, and the strain is within the above range.
[0126] The adhesive layer may be in any form, such as emulsion type, solvent type (solution type), active energy ray curing type, or hot melt type. Among these, solvent type and active energy ray curing type adhesive compositions are preferred because they make it easier to obtain an adhesive layer with excellent productivity.
[0127] Examples of the active energy rays mentioned above include ionizing radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, neutron rays, and electron beams, as well as ultraviolet rays, with ultraviolet rays being particularly preferred. In other words, the active energy ray-curable adhesive layer is preferably an ultraviolet-curable adhesive layer.
[0128] The above-mentioned adhesive layer can be manufactured, for example, by applying an adhesive composition for forming the adhesive layer onto a release liner and drying and curing the resulting adhesive composition layer, or by applying the above-mentioned adhesive composition onto a release liner and curing the resulting adhesive composition layer by irradiating it with active energy rays. Furthermore, if necessary, it may be further heated and dried.
[0129] (Double-sided adhesive sheet) The thickness of the double-sided adhesive sheet is preferably 60 to 400 μm, and more preferably 100 to 300 μm. A thickness of 60 μm or more provides superior impact resistance. A thickness of 400 μm or less allows for a thinner double-sided adhesive sheet. Note that the thickness of the double-sided adhesive sheet refers to the thickness from one adhesive surface to the other, i.e., the thickness of the adhesive material, and does not include the release liner.
[0130] The ratio of the thickness of the base material to the total thickness (thickness of the adhesive) of the double-sided adhesive sheet is preferably 10% or more, more preferably 20% or more, and even more preferably 30% or more. When the ratio is 10% or more, reworkability is improved. The ratio is preferably 65% or less, more preferably 60% or less, and even more preferably 50% or less. When the ratio is 65% or less, the thickness of the adhesive layer becomes relatively thicker, resulting in improved impact resistance.
[0131] The ratio of the total thickness of the adhesive layer to the total thickness of the double-sided adhesive sheet (thickness of the adhesive body) is preferably 35% or more, more preferably 40% or more, and even more preferably 50% or more. When the ratio is 35% or more, impact resistance is superior. When the ratio is 90% or less, more preferably 80% or less, and even more preferably 70% or less. When the ratio is 90% or less, the thickness of the base material becomes relatively thicker, and reworkability is superior.
[0132] The ratio of the total thickness of the adhesive layer on one side to the total thickness (thickness of the adhesive body) of the double-sided adhesive sheet is preferably 17% or more, more preferably 20% or more, and even more preferably 25% or more. When the ratio is 17% or more, impact resistance is superior. When the ratio is 45% or less, more preferably 40% or less, and even more preferably 35% or less. When the ratio is 45% or less, the thickness of the base material becomes relatively thicker, and reworkability is superior.
[0133] The tensile breaking strength of the above double-sided adhesive sheet is 5 MPa or more, preferably 10 MPa or more, and more preferably 20 MPa or more. When the tensile breaking strength is 5 MPa or more, the double-sided adhesive sheet is less likely to deform when subjected to impact and is less likely to peel off from the adherend. The tensile breaking strength is, for example, 50 MPa or less.
[0134] The strain at the time of fracture of the above double-sided adhesive sheet (tensile fracture strain) is 100% or more, preferably 200% or more, more preferably 300% or more, and even more preferably 500% or more. When the above strain is 100% or more, the double-sided adhesive sheet is less likely to deform when subjected to impact and is less likely to peel off from the adherend. The above strain at the time of fracture is, for example, 1000% or less.
[0135] The above double-sided adhesive sheet, when attached to a stainless steel plate in a 2cm x 2cm size, is peeled off under conditions of a temperature of 23°C and a peeling angle of 30°, preferably has a rework time of 120 seconds or less, more preferably 100 seconds or less, even more preferably 70 seconds or less, and particularly preferably 40 seconds or less. If the total of the above times is 120 seconds or less, the reworkability is excellent. If adhesive remains on the adherend after peeling off the double-sided adhesive sheet, the adherend surface is wiped with a solvent, and the above rework time includes the time until the adhesive is removed by wiping. Furthermore, the above rework time when at least one adhesive side of the above double-sided adhesive sheet is attached should be within the above range.
[0136] The above double-sided adhesive sheet preferably has an impact absorption capacity of 0.44 J or more, more preferably 0.50 J or more, and even more preferably 0.70 J or more. An impact absorption capacity of 0.44 J or more provides superior impact resistance.
[0137] The above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet may have a release liner attached to the surface (adhesive side) of the adhesive layer until use. Each adhesive side of the above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet may be protected by two release liners, or it may be protected in a roll-like form (winding body) by a single release liner with both sides being release surfaces. The release liner is used as a protective material for the adhesive layer and is peeled off when it is attached to the object. Note that the release liner is not necessarily required.
[0138] The above-mentioned release liner can be conventional release paper or the like, and is not particularly limited, but examples include a substrate having a release treatment layer, a low-adhesion substrate made of a fluoropolymer, or a low-adhesion substrate made of a nonpolar polymer. Examples of the substrate having the release treatment layer include plastic films and paper surface-treated with release agents such as silicone-based, long-chain alkyl-based, fluorine-based, or molybdenum sulfide. Examples of fluorine-based polymers in the low-adhesion substrate made of a fluoropolymer include polytetrafluoroethylene, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyvinyl fluoride, polyvinylidene fluoride, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and chlorofluoroethylene-vinylidene fluoride copolymer. Examples of the above-mentioned nonpolar polymer include olefin resins (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.). The release liner can be formed by known or conventional methods. The thickness of the release liner is also not particularly limited.
[0139] The above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet is preferably used for attaching electrical and electronic components, by being bonded to components provided in electrical and electronic equipment. The above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet is preferably used for bonding components provided in electrical and electronic equipment to each of its two adhesive surfaces, that is, for fixing components together in electrical and electronic equipment. The above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet may be used for fixing components together or for temporary fixing. For example, when a double-sided adhesive sheet is used for fixing or temporarily fixing components provided in electrical and electronic equipment, there may be cases where the double-sided adhesive sheet must be peeled off and reworked due to a problem in the application process, or where the double-sided adhesive sheet must be peeled off in order to repair, replace, inspect, or recycle a component to which the double-sided adhesive sheet has been attached. Thus, when a double-sided adhesive sheet is used, for example, for fixing or temporarily fixing components provided in electrical and electronic equipment, the frequency of removing the double-sided adhesive sheet is particularly high.
[0140] The above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet is preferably used to bond the outer frames of optical components (especially electrical and electronic equipment) together. For this reason, the above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet can preferably be used even if it has a width of 5 mm or less, and more preferably 3 mm or less.
[0141] Furthermore, "electrical and electronic equipment" refers to equipment that falls under either electrical equipment or electronic equipment. Examples of such electrical and electronic equipment include image display devices such as liquid crystal displays, electroluminescent displays, and plasma displays, as well as portable electronic devices.
[0142] Examples of the above-mentioned portable electronic devices include mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, notebook computers, various wearable devices (for example, wristwear-type devices worn on the wrist like watches, modular-type devices attached to a part of the body with clips or straps, eyewear-type devices including glasses (monocular and binocular types, including head-mounted types), clothing-type devices attached to shirts, socks, hats, etc. as accessories, earwear-type devices attached to the ears like earphones, etc.), digital cameras, digital video cameras, audio equipment (portable music players, IC recorders, etc.), calculators (calculators, etc.), portable game consoles, electronic dictionaries, electronic organizers, e-books, in-car information equipment, portable radios, portable televisions, portable printers, portable scanners, and portable modems. In this specification, "portable" means not merely being able to carry something, but having a level of portability that allows an individual (a typical adult) to carry it relatively easily. The above-mentioned double-sided adhesive sheet is used, for example, so that the adhesive layer adheres closely to the components of the above-mentioned portable electronic device.
[0143] The double-sided adhesive sheet of the present invention provides a double-sided adhesive sheet with excellent impact resistance and reworkability. For example, when used in portable electronic devices, it is less likely to break or peel off even if it is subjected to a drop or the adherend is deformed, yet it can be easily peeled off when someone intentionally tries to remove the double-sided adhesive sheet.

[0159] (Making adhesive sheets) The adhesive layers obtained above were bonded to both sides of the above-mentioned base sheet to prepare the double-sided adhesive sheet of Comparative Example 1.
[0160] <Rating> The substrates and double-sided adhesive sheets obtained in the examples and comparative examples were evaluated as follows. The results are shown in the table.
[0161] (1) Tanδ of the base material The substrates prepared in the examples and comparative examples were cut to a width of 5 mm x 30 mm. The 30 mm long side was chucked with a 15 mm chuck spacing in a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (product name "Rheogel-E4000", manufactured by UBM Co., Ltd.), and the tensile viscoelastic modulus was measured in the range of -60°C to 100°C with a heating rate of 5°C / min. The maximum value of the loss tangent tanδ at 23°C for frequencies from 10 kHz to 3.5 MHz was calculated by synthesizing a master curve at a reference temperature of 23°C.
[0162] (2) Z-axis bonding force and Z-axis bonding strain The double-sided adhesive sheets, sandwiched between release liners as prepared in the examples and comparative examples, were punched out into a frame shape with an outer diameter of 24.5 mm and a width of 2 mm. The release liners were then peeled off the double-sided adhesive sheets, and the resulting pieces were sandwiched between a 2 mm thick, 50 mm square stainless steel plate with a hole in the center and a 3 mm thick, 25 mm square stainless steel plate. The pieces were then pressed together and left to stand at 50°C for 2 hours, before being returned to room temperature to be used as evaluation samples. A tensile testing machine, "Precision Universal Testing Machine Autograph AG-IS" (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), was used. A 10 mm diameter cylinder was attached to the upper jig of the tensile testing machine, and a base was placed on the lower side. The test piece was then placed on top of the base with the square stainless steel plate (the non-perforated stainless steel plate) facing downwards. The square stainless steel plate (the non-perforated stainless steel plate) was then pressed with the 10 mm diameter cylinder at a speed of 50 mm / min, and the stress and strain at the time of peeling were converted into energy. Z-axis bonding strength (MPa) = Stress required to detach (N) / Bonding area (mm²) 2 ) Z-axis bonding strain (%) = Amount of strain until delamination (mm) / Thickness (mm) × 100
[0163] (3) Tensile fracture strength and tensile fracture strain The double-sided adhesive sheets prepared in the examples and comparative examples were cut to a width of 10 mm and a length of 40 mm to obtain test specimens. A tensile testing machine, "Precision Universal Testing Machine Autograph AG-IS" (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), was used to chuck the test specimens with a chuck distance of 20 mm and perform a tensile test at a speed of 50 mm / min. The fracture stress and strain at the time of fracture were converted into energy. Tensile breaking strength (MPa) = (Breaking stress at the time of fracture (N) / Original cross-sectional area of the test specimen (mm²) 2 ) Tensile fracture strain (%) = (Strain until fracture (mm) - Original length of specimen (mm)) / Original length of specimen (mm) × 100
[0164] (4) Impact resistance The double-sided adhesive sheets, sandwiched between release liners as prepared in the examples and comparative examples, were punched out into a frame shape with an outer diameter of 24.5 mm and a width of 2 mm. Then, the release liners were peeled off the double-sided adhesive sheets, and the sheets were sandwiched between a 2 mm thick, 50 mm square stainless steel plate with a hole in the center and a 3 mm thick, 25 mm square stainless steel plate, and pressed together. The samples were left to stand for 2 hours at a temperature of 50°C, and then returned to room temperature to be used as evaluation samples. A cylindrical measuring stand with a length of 50 mm, an outer diameter of 49 mm, and an inner diameter of 43 mm was placed on the base of a DuPont impact tester (manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.), and the test pieces were placed on it with the square stainless steel plate (the stainless steel plate without the hole) facing downwards. A stainless steel impact pin with a tip radius of 3.1 mm was placed on the test piece, and the drop weight and drop height were varied in 50 mm increments from 50 to 500 mm with a 100 g weight, from 350 to 500 mm with a 150 g weight, from 400 to 500 mm with a 200 g weight, and from 350 to 500 mm with a 300 g weight, so that the energy increased until delamination occurred. At this time, tests were not conducted for energy levels that had already been evaluated, and the load and height were set so that the amount of energy did not overlap. Subsequently, the energy before at least one of the stainless steel plates delaminated was calculated as load × height, and the obtained value is shown in the table as the impact absorption amount.
[0165] (5) Rework Test For the double-sided adhesive sheet after the "Z-axis adhesive strength" measurement described above, the short-side edge was peeled off the stainless steel plate, and the sheet was then pulled at a 30° angle to the adherend to remove it. The time it took for the double-sided adhesive sheet to completely peel off was measured as the rework time. If any adhesive remained on the adherend after the adhesive sheet was removed, the adherend surface was wiped with ethyl acetate, and the rework time included the time it took for the adhesive to be removed by wiping.
[0166] [Table 1]
[0167] As shown in Table 1, the double-sided adhesive sheet of the present invention was evaluated as having a large shock absorption capacity, excellent impact resistance, and excellent reworkability with a short rework time (Example). On the other hand, when the maximum value of the substrate's tanδ at frequencies of 10 kHz to 3.5 MHz exceeded 0.83 (Comparative Example 1), it was evaluated as having a long rework time and poor reworkability.
