Description

Polyester film and parts containing the same

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a polyester film and a component comprising the same.

[0002] A release film is a film that has release properties that do not adhere well to adhesive components and is used as a protective film for adhesive films or adhesive tapes. Release films are used to prevent unintentional adhesion of adhesives to an adherend prior to use, or to prevent contamination by foreign substances. Release films are also used to prevent the mold and the molded product from sticking together during a heating and pressure molding process, or as a carrier film for molding thin ceramic sheets such as dielectrics for multilayer ceramic capacitors.

[0003] Release films primarily use polyester film as the substrate. Typically, a release layer is formed on the polyester substrate using a silicone-based release composition containing a silicone resin, a curing agent, and a catalyst. An adhesive is directly applied to the polyester film coated with this silicone-based release composition. However, depending on the type of solvent used in the adhesive and the coating thickness, defects such as orange peel and pinholes can occur, degrading quality.

[0004] Therefore, there is still a need for polyester films and components comprising the same that have excellent adhesive wettability, low peel strength, and improved residual adhesion with minimal pinhole generation.

[0005] One aspect is to provide a polyester film having excellent adhesive wettability, low peel strength and improved residual adhesion, with almost no pinholes.

[0051] Hereinafter, polyester films and components including the same will be described in detail with reference to examples and drawings of the present invention.

[0063] Typically, release films coated with silicone-based release compositions are used for laminating applications. As mobile and IT devices become increasingly miniaturized, various tapes are being thinned by directly applying a thin layer of adhesive to the release film, transferring the resulting adhesive layer to a substrate. However, depending on the surface properties of the release film, the adhesive may not be applied properly, or the coating quality may deteriorate, such as pinholes or orange peel, after drying.

[0064] Taking this into consideration, the inventors of the present invention propose an invention for the following polyester film.

[0065] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a polyester film according to one embodiment.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 1, a polyester film according to one embodiment has a substrate (20) and a curing layer (or a release layer) (10) disposed on both sides of the substrate (20). Alternatively, a polyester film according to one embodiment may have a substrate (20) and a curing layer (or a release layer) (10) disposed on one side of the substrate (20).

[0067]

[0068] The substrate (20), curing layer (or release layer) (10), and components constituting the polyester film are specifically described as follows.

[0069]

[0070] [Description (20)]

[0071] The substrate (20) used in the present invention may be a polyester film or sheet. For example, a polyester film may be used as the substrate (20).

[0072] For example, the polyester film may be a polyester film disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1268584, Korean Patent Publication No. 2012-45213, and Korean Patent Publication No. 2012-99546.

[0073] However, in one embodiment of the present invention, a polyester film is described without limitation in order to explain only the features of the present invention, but it should be understood that it includes technical features related to a known polyester film.

[0074] Polyester films may include polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, or polycarbonate.

[0075] For example, the polyester film may be polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. PET film exhibits excellent physical stability over a wide temperature range, from low to high temperatures, and possesses superior chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and surface properties. Furthermore, PET film possesses excellent thickness uniformity and excellent adaptability to process conditions for various applications.

[0076] The polyester resin forming the base film of the present invention may be a polyester obtained by polycondensing dicarboxylic acid and glycol.

[0077] Examples of dicarboxylic acids may include aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, p-oxybenzoic acid, diphenylcarboxylic acid, diphenylsulfonedicarboxylic acid, diphenoxyethanedicarboxylic acid, and 5-sodiumsulfonedicarboxylic acid; aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as succinic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, dimer acid, maleic acid, and fumaric acid; alicyclic dicarboxylic acids such as cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid; and oxycarboxylic acids such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid.

[0078] Examples of glycols may include aliphatic glycols such as ethylene glycol, propanediol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol, pentanediol, hexanediol, and neopentyl glycol; polyalkylene glycols such as polydiethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol; alicyclic glycols such as cyclohexane dimethanol; and aromatic glycols such as bisphenol A and bisphenol S.

[0079] Polyester films can be used as uniaxially or biaxially oriented films, offering high transparency and superior productivity and processability. For example, polyester films can be used as biaxially oriented films.

[0080] Corona treatment, etc. can be performed on the surface of the substrate (20).

[0081] The surface tension of the substrate (20) may be 1.0 to 1.5 times that of the silicone emulsion composition. If the surface tension of the substrate (20) is less than 1.0 times, the adhesive wettability is reduced, making it impossible to obtain a uniform cured layer (10). If the surface tension is more than 1.5 times, coagulation of the silicone emulsion composition may occur, resulting in appearance defects such as pinholes.

[0082] Optionally, the polyester film may contain particles to impart excellent roll-to-roll running properties, and any particles added that exhibit excellent sliding properties may be used without limitation.

[0083] Examples of such particles may include particles of silica, silicon oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium phosphate, barium carbonate, kaolin, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, etc., and the shape of the particles used is not limited, but for example, any of spherical, block-shaped, rod-shaped, and plate-shaped particles may be used.

[0084] There are no restrictions on the hardness, specific gravity, and color of the particles, but two or more types may be used in parallel as needed, and the average particle diameter of the particles used may be 0.1 to 5 ㎛, and for example, particles in the range of 0.1 to 2 ㎛ may be used. At this time, if the average particle diameter of the particles is less than 0.1 ㎛, agglomeration between particles may occur, resulting in poor dispersion, and if the average particle diameter of the particles exceeds 5 ㎛, the surface roughness characteristics of the film may deteriorate, resulting in poor coating during post-processing.

[0085] When particles are included in the polyester film, the particle content may be 0.01 to 5 wt%, for example, 0.01 to 3 wt%, based on the total weight of the polyester film. If the particle content is less than 0.01 wt%, the slip properties of the polyester film may deteriorate, resulting in poor running properties between rolls. If the particle content exceeds 5 wt%, the surface smoothness of the film may deteriorate.

[0086] The thickness of the polyester film is not limited, but may be from 10 ㎛ to 300 ㎛.

[0087] If the polyester film is too thin, less than 10 ㎛, it may be deformed by heat treatment during processing, making it unsuitable as a carrier film. If it is too thick, exceeding 300 ㎛, heat may not be sufficiently transferred, which may cause problems with curing and reduce economic feasibility.

[0088]

[0089] [Curing layer or release layer (10)]

[0090] The cured layer or release layer (10) according to one embodiment may be a cured layer of a silicone emulsion composition. The silicone emulsion composition can be obtained by blending each component by a conventional method.

[0091] The silicone emulsion composition may include two or more silicone resins and a surfactant.

[0092] The weight average molecular weight of at least one silicone resin may be from 3000 to 7000 Daltons. If the weight average molecular weight of at least one silicone resin is within the above range, compatibility with various polar solvents of the adhesive applied on the cured layer (10) is high, resulting in excellent adhesive wettability, so that pinhole defects on the surface of the polyester film may hardly occur.

[0093] The silicone resin includes first particles and second particles, and the average particle diameter (D50) of the first particles and the second particles may be 0.1 nm to 300 nm. The first particles may be alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane particles represented by the following chemical formula 1, and the second particles may be alkyl group-containing polysiloxane particles represented by the following chemical formula 2. Alternatively, conversely, the first particles may be alkyl group-containing polysiloxane particles represented by the following chemical formula 2, and the second particles may be alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane particles represented by the following chemical formula 1. When the average particle diameter (D50) of the first particles and the second particles of the silicone resin are within the above range, compatibility with various polar solvents of the adhesive applied on the cured layer (10) is high, so that adhesive wettability is excellent, and thus pinhole defects on the surface of the polyester film may hardly occur.

[0094] The shape of the first particle and the second particle of the silicone resin is not limited, but may be, for example, spherical, elliptical, etc. The average particle diameter (D50) of the first particle and the second particle of the silicone resin refers to the particle size corresponding to 50% in the distribution curve of particles accumulated in order of particle diameter from the smallest particle to the largest particle, where the total number of accumulated particles is 100%, or the median particle size. The average particle diameter (D50) of the first particle and the second particle of the silicone resin can be measured by a method known to those skilled in the art, for example, using a laser diffraction particle-size analyzer. The median particle size can closely correspond to the arithmetic mean particle diameter calculated from an electron microscope image.

[0095] The silicone resin may be selected from polysiloxanes containing alkenyl groups having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, polysiloxanes containing alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, hydrogen polysiloxanes, and combinations thereof.

[0096] For example, the silicone resin may include an alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by the following chemical formula 1:

[0097] [Chemical Formula 1]

[0098]

[0099] During the meal,

[0100] m and n can be integers from 10 to 500, respectively.

[0101] R1, R2, R3 can be independently a C1 to C3 alkyl group, a C2 to C6 alkenyl group, or a combination thereof,

[0102] However, at least one of R1, R2, and R3 may be an alkenyl group having C2 to C6.

[0103] Here, m and n do not mean block bonding, but rather that the sum of each structural unit is m and n. In chemical formula 1, each structural unit can be randomly bonded or block bonded. For example, two or more of R1, R2, and R3 can be alkenyl groups having C2 to C6.

[0104] For example, the silicone resin may include an alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by the following chemical formula 2:

[0105] [Chemical Formula 2]

[0106]

[0107] During the meal,

[0108] a and b can each be integers from 1 to 100,

[0109] R4, R5, R 6, R 7, R 8, R 9, R 10, R 11, R 12, R 13 may independently be a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C10 alkyl group, or a combination thereof,

[0110] However, R4, R5, R 6, R 7, R 8, R 9, R 10, R 11, R 12, R 13 At least one of them may be an alkyl group having a carbon number of C1 to C10.

[0111] Here, a and b do not mean block bonding, but rather that the sum of each structural unit is a and b. In chemical formula 2, each structural unit can be randomly bonded or block bonded.

[0112] The content of the alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 2 may be 2 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 1. For example, the content of the alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 2 may be 4 to 6 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 1. If the content of the alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 2 is less than 2 parts by weight, unreacted alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 1 may be transferred to another layer such as the back surface of the polyester film or the adhesive layer, which may cause process contamination. If the content of the alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 2 is more than 10 parts by weight, unreacted polysiloxane may remain in the cured layer (10), which may increase the peeling force, and the peeling force may also increase over time, making it difficult to have stable release properties.

[0113] Here, the alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by chemical formula 1 and the alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by chemical formula 2 may be at least one of linear, branched, radial, and cyclic.

[0114] The solid content of the silicone resin may be 0.1 to 9 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the entire silicone emulsion composition. If the solid content of the silicone resin is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the minimum release properties required for peeling after laminating with the substrate (20) are not implemented. If the solid content of the silicone resin is more than 9 parts by weight, the silicone component on the surface of the cured layer (10) is transferred to the other side, which causes a winding problem due to slippage of the back side, and the physical properties may be deteriorated due to the silicone component transferred to the substrate (20) after laminating with the substrate (20).

[0115] The surfactant may include a diol compound, a succinate compound, a salt thereof, or a combination thereof.

[0116] For example, the surfactant may include a diol compound represented by the following chemical formula 3:

[0117] [Chemical Formula 3]

[0118]

[0119] During the meal,

[0120] p, q, r, s can be 0 to 20, respectively,

[0121] R1, R4 are independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a cyano group, an amino group, a hydroxy group, -C(=O), -C(=O)OR a , -C(=O)OH, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C20 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C20 alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 aryl group, or a combination thereof, wherein R a may be an alkyl group of C1 to C5,

[0122] R2 and R3 can independently be a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C5 alkyl group, or a combination thereof.

[0123] For example, the surfactant may include sodium dioctyl 2-(sulfoethyl)succinate, sodium dioctyl 2-(phosphoethyl)succinate, dioctyl 2-(hydroxyethyl)succinate, or a combination thereof.

[0124] The content of the surfactant may be 0.01 to 0.2 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the entire silicone emulsion composition. Alternatively, the content of the surfactant may be 0.01 to 5 parts by weight or 0.05 to 1 part by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by the chemical formula 1. If the content of the surfactant is less than 0.01 parts by weight, the content as a surfactant is not sufficient, making it difficult to exhibit the effect of improving the appearance of the polyester film coating. If the content of the surfactant exceeds 5 parts by weight, the peeling strength may increase.

[0125] The silicone emulsion composition may further include at least one of a silane coupling agent, a curing agent, and a catalyst. The silane coupling agent may be used as an adhesion improver. The silane coupling agent is not limited, but may include an alkoxy silane compound. Examples of the alkoxy silane compound include [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any known alkoxy silane compound may be used. The content of the silane coupling agent may be 0.1 to 30 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total silicone emulsion composition. Accordingly, the aging stability of the cured layer (10) of the polyester film can be secured.

[0126] The hardener is a thermosetting hardener, and polyethylene glycol tridecyl ether or the like can be used, but is not limited thereto, and any known hardening hardener in the relevant technical field can be used.

[0127] The catalyst may include a metal catalyst. The catalyst may use one or more metals or metalloids selected from elements in groups 4 to 14 of the periodic table, for example, one or more selected from Rh, Pt, Sn, Ti, Pd, Ir, W, and Co. For example, the catalyst may use a platinum chelate catalyst.

[0128] The catalyst assists the addition reaction of the alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 2. The content of the catalyst may be 1 ppm to 500 ppm, or for example, 5 ppm to 500 ppm, based on the total weight of the cured layer (10). If the content of the catalyst is less than 1 ppm, the reaction of the alkenyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the alkyl group-containing polysiloxane represented by Chemical Formula 2 does not proceed sufficiently. If the content of the catalyst exceeds 500 ppm, the peeling force may increase due to the residual catalyst remaining in the cured layer (10).

[0129] In some cases, the cured layer (10) may further include one or more of organic and inorganic particles, an antistatic agent, a conductivity improver, a pH regulator, and an antifouling agent.

[0130] The inorganic particles may be inorganic particles selected from natural minerals; oxides, hydroxides, sulfides, nitrides, or halides of elements of groups 1 to 4, 11 to 12, 14, and 16 to 18; carbonates, sulfates, acetates, phosphates, phosphites, carboxylates, silicates, titanates, borates, or hydrates thereof; and complex compounds thereof.

[0131] The organic particles may be organic particles selected from fluorine-based resins, melamine-based resins, styrene-based resins, acrylic-based resins, silicone-based resins, styrene-divinylbenzene-based copolymer resins, and polymers or copolymers crosslinked with these resins.

[0132] The shape of the organic and inorganic particles is not particularly limited and may be spherical, blocky, rod-shaped, or flat. In addition, the hardness, specific gravity, color, etc. of the organic and inorganic particles are not limited and, if necessary, these organic and inorganic particles may be used singly or in combination of two or more.

[0133] The average particle diameter (D50) of the organic and inorganic particles may be 1 ㎛ to 5 ㎛. For example, the average particle diameter (D50) of the organic and inorganic particles may be 3 ㎛ to 5 ㎛ or 1 ㎛ to 2 ㎛. If the average particle diameter (D50) of the organic and inorganic particles is less than 1 ㎛, sufficient surface roughness cannot be obtained, and thus blocking phenomenon cannot be prevented. If the average particle diameter (D50) of the organic and inorganic particles exceeds 5 ㎛, it may act as a defect in the film.

[0134] The antistatic agent may be a known antistatic agent widely used in the field of polyester films, but may be selected from, for example, PEDOT (Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)), PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate), polyaniline, polypyrrole, quaternary ammonium salts, sulfonates, phosphates, and combinations thereof. The content of the antistatic agent may be 1 to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the entire silicone emulsion composition.

[0135] The conductivity improver may be a known conductivity improver widely used in the field of the polyester film, but may be selected from, for example, ethylene glycol, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, propylene glycol, butyl glycol, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, gamma-butyrolactone, sulfolane, dimethyl carbonate, sorbitol, and combinations thereof. The content of the conductivity improver may be 1 part by weight to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total silicone emulsion composition.

[0136] The pH regulator may be any known pH regulator widely used in the field of polyester films, but may be selected from, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, ammonia water, and combinations thereof. The content of the conductivity improver may be 0.05 to 0.3 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the entire silicone emulsion composition.

[0137] The antifouling agent may be a known antifouling agent widely used in the field of polyester films, but may be selected from, for example, fluorine, fluorine-containing silane compounds, fluorine-containing organic compounds, self-emulsifying silicone, and combinations thereof. The content of the antifouling agent may be 0.1 to 0.3 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total silicone emulsion composition.

[0138] The silicone emulsion composition is prepared with water at a solid content of 0.5 wt% to 15 wt%. The cured layer (10) of the polyester film can be formed by applying it to the substrate (20) one or more times using a known method such as a bar coat method, a reverse roll coat method, or a gravure roll coat method. If the solid content of the silicone emulsion composition is less than 0.5 wt%, uniform coating may be difficult and peeling strength may increase at the same time, and if it exceeds 15 wt%, the coating appearance may be poor and the adhesion between the cured layer (10) and the substrate (20) may decrease.

[0139] The silicone emulsion composition may further comprise 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%, for example 0.01 wt% to 5 wt%, of an organic solvent based on the total weight of the silicone emulsion composition to improve applicability or transparency. If the content of the organic solvent exceeds 10 wt%, there is a risk of explosion during the drying, stretching, and heat treatment processes when using an inline coating method.

[0140] Organic solvents can be used without limitation as long as they can disperse the solid content of the silicone emulsion composition and apply it to a substrate, but examples thereof include aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene and xylene; aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, heptane, octane, isooctane, decane, cyclohexane, methyl cyclohexane, and isoparaffin; hydrocarbon solvents such as industrial gasoline (rubber gasoline, etc.), petroleum benzene, and solvent naphtha; ketone solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 4-heptanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, acetonylacetone, and cyclohexanone; ester solvents such as ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, butyl acetate, and isobutyl acetate; Ether solvents such as diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxy ethane, and 1,4-dioxane; solvents having ester and ether moieties such as 2-methoxyethyl acetate, 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and 2-butoxyethyl acetate; siloxane solvents such as hexamethyldisiloxane, octamethyltrisiloxane, octamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane, decanemethyl cyclopentasiloxane, tris(trimethylsiloxy)methylsilane, and tetrakis(trimethylsiloxy)silane; fluorinated solvents such as trifluorotoluene, hexafluoroxylene, methyl nonafluorobutyl ether, and ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether; or mixed solvents thereof can be used. For example, the solvent used in the silicone emulsion composition may include isopropyl alcohol, butyl cellosolve, acetone, methanol, or ethanol.

[0141] The surface energy of the cured layer (10) may be 15 dyne / cm to 20 dyne / cm. Within the above range of surface energy of the cured layer (10), pinholes are hardly generated, adhesive wettability is excellent, and low peel strength and improved residual adhesion rate are achieved.

[0142] The thickness of the cured layer (10) may be 0.01 µm to 10 µm. If the thickness of the cured layer (10) is less than 0.01 µm, a uniform cured layer (10) cannot be formed. If the thickness of the cured layer (10) exceeds 10 µm, blocking may occur between one side and the back side of the substrate (20).

[0143]

[0145] The polyester film according to one embodiment may be a release film.

[0146] A polyester film according to one embodiment may have a peel strength of 20 gf / cm or less at room temperature and a residual adhesion rate of 90% or more.

[0147] A polyester film according to one embodiment has almost no pinhole defects.

[0198]

[0199] Evaluation Example 1: Physical Property Evaluation

[0200] The properties of the polyester films manufactured in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were evaluated by the following method, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0201]

[0202] (1) Measurement of peeling force (gf / in)

[0203] Each polyester film was attached to a cold-rolled stainless steel plate with double-sided adhesive tape so that the cured layer was on top. TESA7475 acrylic adhesive tape was attached to the cured layer, pressed with a 2 kg roller, and left at room temperature for 7 days. The peel strength was measured. The peel strength was measured five times using the following measuring equipment and method, and the average value was taken as the peel strength.

[0204] Measuring instrument: AR-1000 (Chem-Instrument)

[0205] Measurement method: 180° peel angle, 0.3 m / min peel speed

[0206]

[0207] (2) Residual adhesion rate (%)

[0208] Each polyester film was cut to a size of 50 mm x 250 mm to prepare a sample. The prepared sample was stored at 25°C and 65% RH for 24 hours. TESA7475 acrylic adhesive tape was attached to the surface of the cured layer and 20 g / cm2 was applied at room temperature. 2 It was pressed for 24 hours under a load. The TESA7475 acrylic adhesive tape attached to the surface of the cured layer was collected without contamination. The collected TESA7475 acrylic adhesive tape was attached to the surface of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate film with a flat and clean surface and pressed once back and forth with a 2 kg roller (ASTMD-1000-55T). The TESA7475 acrylic adhesive tape was peeled from the PET substrate film, and the peeling force was measured using the following measuring device and measuring method.

[0209] Separately, unused TESA7475 acrylic adhesive tape was attached to the surface of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate film with a flat and clean surface, and the tape was pressed back and forth once with a 2 kg roller (ASTMD-1000-55T), and the peel strength was measured using the following measuring device and method. Each measured peel strength was substituted into Equation 1 below to obtain the residual adhesion ratio (%).

[0210] Measuring instrument: AR-1000 (Chem-Instrument)

[0211] Measurement method: 180° peel angle, 0.3 m / min peel speed

[0212] [Formula 1]

[0213] Residual adhesion rate (%) = [(Peel strength of acrylic adhesive tape peeled from the cured layer) / (Peel strength of unused acrylic adhesive tape) x 100]

[0214]

[0215] (3) Surface energy (dyne / cm)

[0216] The surface tension and liquid penetration depth of water and diiodomethane were measured for the cured layer of each polyester film. These measured values ​​were substituted into Equation 2 to calculate the surface energy using the Owens-Wendt model.

[0217] [Formula 2]

[0218] E s = σ1x ln(kxh)

[0219] During the meal,

[0220] E s is the surface energy (J / m 2 ), σ1 is the surface tension of the liquid (N / m), k is the penetration coefficient (dimensionless), and h is the liquid penetration depth (m).

[0221]

[0222] (4) Number of pinholes (adhesive wetting)

[0223] Each polyester film was cut to a size of 10 cm x 10 cm to prepare a sample. An acrylic adhesive was applied to the surface of the cured layer of the prepared sample to a thickness of approximately 10 ㎛, and the number of pinholes per unit area generated on the applied surface was observed with the naked eye.

[0224]

[0225] Referring to Table 1, the polyester films manufactured by Examples 1 to 6 had almost no pinhole defects, excellent adhesive wetting properties, and exhibited a peel strength of 20 gf / cm or less and a residual adhesion rate of 93% or more. In comparison, the polyester film manufactured by Comparative Example 1 had a problem with the compatibility of the acrylic adhesive with the polar solvent because the average particle size (D50) of the silicone resin was large, which resulted in a rapid increase in the number of pinholes. The polyester films manufactured by Comparative Examples 2 and 3 had an excessively low or high weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the silicone resin, which resulted in an increase in peel strength, and a problem with the compatibility of the acrylic adhesive with the polar solvent, which resulted in a rapid increase in the number of pinholes.
