[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-141137

[0004] Polymers of compounds having a fluorine-containing organic group have attracted attention as materials exhibiting a low refractive index. The present inventors focused on adhesive compositions containing a (meth)acrylate compound, an epoxy compound, and a photoacid generator, and investigated the curing reaction using a (meth)acrylate having a fluorine-containing organic group as the (meth)acrylate compound. They found that the adhesive strength of the cured product of the adhesive composition obtained tends to decrease, and furthermore, the infrared transmittance of the cured product of the adhesive composition also tends to decrease.

[0005] A primary object of the present disclosure is to provide an adhesive composition that, when a (meth)acrylate having a fluorine-containing organic group is used, can give a cured product that has sufficient adhesive strength and high infrared transmittance.

[0006] The present inventors conducted extensive research to solve the above problems and discovered that by applying a specific crosslinking agent to an adhesive composition, sufficient adhesive strength can be achieved and the infrared transmittance of the cured product can also be improved, leading to the completion of the presently disclosed invention.

[0008] According to the present disclosure, there is provided an adhesive composition that can give a cured product having sufficient adhesive strength and high infrared transmittance when a (meth)acrylate having a fluorine-containing organic group is used, and an adherend using such an adhesive composition.

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described, but the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0010] In this specification, a numerical range indicated using "to" indicates a range that includes the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In numerical ranges described in stages in this specification, the upper or lower limit of a certain numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit of another numerical range. Furthermore, in a numerical range described in this specification, the upper or lower limit of that numerical range may be replaced with a value shown in the examples. Furthermore, individually described upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. In a numerical range described as "A to B," the numerical values ​​A and B at both ends are included as the lower and upper limits, respectively, in the numerical range. In this specification, for example, the term "10 or more" means "10" and "a number greater than 10," and this also applies when the numerical values ​​are different. Furthermore, for example, the term "10 or less" means "10" and "a number less than 10," and this also applies when the numerical values ​​are different.

[0011] In this specification, a (meth)acrylate compound refers to a compound having one or more (meth)acryloyl groups, and a (meth)acrylic resin refers to a (co)polymer having at least a structural unit derived from a (meth)acrylate compound. The (meth)acrylate compound may be a compound that does not have an epoxy group or an oxetanyl group. A (meth)acryloyl group refers to an acryloyl group or a corresponding methacryloyl group. The same applies to other similar expressions such as (meth)acrylate. Furthermore, "A or B" may include either A or B, or may include both.

[0012] In this specification, the term "cyclic ether group" refers to a group obtained by removing one hydrogen atom directly bonded to a carbon atom from a compound having a cyclic ether such as oxirane or oxetane. The cyclic ether group may be a group obtained by removing one hydrogen atom directly bonded to a carbon atom from a compound having a three- or four-membered cyclic ether. Examples of such cyclic ether groups include epoxy groups (oxiranyl groups) and oxetanyl groups. The epoxy group includes alicyclic epoxy groups (epoxy groups formed together with two carbon atoms constituting an alicyclic ring) such as epoxycyclohexyl groups.

[0013] Unless otherwise specified, the materials exemplified below may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When a composition contains multiple substances corresponding to each component, the amount used or content of each component means the total amount of the multiple substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified.

[0014] [Adhesive Composition] The adhesive composition of one embodiment contains a (meth)acrylate compound (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "component (A)"), an epoxy compound (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "component (B)"), a crosslinking agent (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "component (C)"), and a photoacid generator (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "component (D)"). The adhesive composition may further contain, for example, a photoradical generator (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "component (E)") and an oxetane compound (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "component (F)").

[0015] Component (A): (meth)acrylate compound The component (A) contains a (meth)acrylate having a fluorine-containing organic group (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "component (A1)"). The component (A) may further contain a (meth)acrylate having a hydroxy group (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "component (A2)"). The component (A) may further contain a (meth)acrylate having an alkoxy group (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "component (A3)").

[0016] By including the component (A1) in the component (A), it is possible to achieve a low refractive index in the cured product of the adhesive composition. The component (A1) may be, for example, a (meth)acrylate having a fluoroalkyl group. Examples of (meth)acrylates having a fluoroalkyl group include trifluoromethyl (meth)acrylate, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl (meth)acrylate, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propyl (meth)acrylate, perfluoroethylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluoropropylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorobutylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluoropentylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorohexylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluoroheptylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorooctylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorononylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorodecylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluoroundecylmethyl (meth)acrylate, and perfluorododecylmethyl (meth)acrylate. acrylate, perfluorotridecylmethyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorotetradecylmethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluoroethyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluoropropyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluoropentyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluoroheptyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluorononyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluorotridecyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-(perfluorotetradecyl)ethyl (meth)acrylate, and the like.

[0017] In the (meth)acrylate having a fluoroalkyl group as the component (A1), the number of carbon atoms in the fluoroalkyl group may be, for example, 1 to 20, 2 or more, 3 or more, 4 or more, or 6 or more, or may be 18 or less, 16 or less, 14 or less, or 12 or less, from the viewpoint of reducing the refractive index of the cured product.

[0018] In a (meth)acrylate having a fluoroalkyl group as component (A1), the proportion of fluorine atoms in the fluoroalkyl group is calculated based on the total amount of hydrogen atoms and fluorine atoms directly bonded to carbon atoms constituting the fluoroalkyl group. For example, the trifluoromethyl group of trifluoromethyl (meth)acrylate has three fluorine atoms and no hydrogen atoms, so the proportion of fluorine atoms is 100%. For example, the 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl group of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl (meth)acrylate has three fluorine atoms and two hydrogen atoms, so the proportion of fluorine atoms is 60%. From the viewpoint of lowering the refractive index of the cured product, the proportion of fluorine atoms may be, for example, 100% or less, 90% or less, or 80% or less, or 30% or more, 40% or more, or 50% or more.

[0022] By including the component (A3) in the component (A), the solubility of the component (C), which will be described later, can be further improved, and further the transmittance of the cured product of the adhesive composition can be further improved. The component (A3) may be, for example, a (meth)acrylate having an alkoxyalkyl group. Examples of the component (A3) include 2-methoxyethyl acrylate and 2-ethoxyethyl (meth)acrylate.

Examples of (meth)acrylates having an epoxy group include (meth)acrylates having an alicyclic epoxy group such as 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl (meth)acrylate, and (meth)acrylates having an epoxy group other than an alicyclic epoxy group such as glycidyl (meth)acrylate. Examples of (meth)acrylates having an oxetanyl group include (3-ethyloxetan-3-yl)methyl (meth)acrylate. The (meth)acrylate having a cyclic ether group may be, for example, a (meth)acrylate having an alicyclic epoxy group.

[0046] In the (meth)acrylic resin, the content of the second structural unit may be 10 to 90 mol %, 10 to 80 mol %, 10 to 70 mol %, or 10 to 60 mol % based on all structural units of the (meth)acrylic resin, from the viewpoint of crosslinkability with the (B) component and the like.

The weight average molecular weight (Mw) can be measured, for example, by the method described in the Examples.

[0050] The (meth)acrylic resin can be obtained, for example, by radical polymerization using a solution polymerization method. More specifically, it can be obtained by polymerizing, in a solvent, monomers including a (meth)acrylate having a cyclic ether group and a (meth)acrylate having a fluorine-containing organic group.

[0051] The solvent can be appropriately selected from organic solvents commonly used in the field of radical polymerization. The solvent may be a solvent having a cyclic ether group (epoxy group or oxetanyl group) but no radical polymerizable group, since the crosslinking agent ((meth)acrylic resin) can be directly used in the polymerization reaction for the curing reaction of a curable resin such as a compound (epoxy resin) having a cyclic ether group without isolating the crosslinking agent ((meth)acrylic resin) (without removing or replacing the solvent). Examples of the solvent include those commonly used in the field of epoxy resin diluents. Examples of the solvent include epoxy resins that are liquid at 25°C. The solvent may be, for example, an aliphatic diglycidyl ether, from the viewpoint of being usable as component (B1). Examples of the aliphatic diglycidyl ether include those exemplified for component (B1).

[0052] In this specification, the radical polymerizable group refers to a group having a carbon-carbon double bond. Examples of the radical polymerizable group include a (meth)acryloyl group, a vinyl group, an allyl group, a styryl group, an alkenyl group, an alkenylene group, and a maleimide group.

[0053] The amount of the solvent used can be appropriately determined depending on the type of monomer, reaction conditions, solids concentration of the (meth)acrylic resin solution, and the like.

[0054] When polymerizing the monomers, a thermal radical generator, an additive, etc. may be added as needed.

[0055] Examples of the thermal radical generator include organic peroxides such as cumene hydroperoxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, t-butylperoxyisopropyl carbonate, t-amylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, and t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate; and azo compounds such as 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile), 1,1'-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), and dimethyl-2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionate).

[0056] The amount of the thermal radical generator added may be appropriately set depending on the type of monomer, reaction conditions, etc., and is not particularly limited, but may be 100 to 200,000 ppm by mass, 100 to 100,000 ppm by mass, 1,000 to 100,000 ppm by mass, 1,000 to 50,000 ppm by mass, 3,000 to 30,000 ppm by mass, or 10,000 to 80,000 ppm by mass, based on the total amount of the monomers.

[0057] Examples of the additives include chain transfer agents, antioxidants, light stabilizers, weather stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, radical scavengers, etc. The amount of the additives added is not particularly limited, but may be 0.001 to 2% by mass or 0.005 to 1% by mass based on the total amount of the monomers.

[0058] The polymerization temperature may be 40 to 120° C., 50 to 100° C., or 60 to 90° C. The polymerization time may be 0.1 to 24 hours, 0.5 to 20 hours, or 1 to 12 hours.

[0060] Component (D): Photoacid Generator The component (D) is a component that generates an acid that initiates polymerization upon irradiation with light. The component (D) may be a component that generates an acid that initiates polymerization upon irradiation with light containing a wavelength in the range of 150 to 750 nm or light containing a wavelength in the range of 254 to 405 nm.

Next, an LED lamp (manufactured by Ushio Inc., wavelength: 365 nm) is used to illuminate the cured product at 30 mW / cm. 2 The adhesive composition is irradiated with light for 30 seconds, and 600 seconds after the end of the light irradiation, the adhesive composition is peeled off from the release film to obtain a measurement sample. In addition, glass used as the substrate can be used as a baseline.
