Description
An electrically detachable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive, its preparation method and application
[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024114606203, filed on October 18, 2024, entitled "An electrically detachable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive and its preparation method and application", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This invention belongs to the field of adhesives, specifically relating to an electrically detachable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0004] Reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesives are often used to bond and fix electronic components in electronic products such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and TWS earphones. The electronic components bonded by reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesives are often of high value. When there are situations such as poor assembly, product after-sales repair, or recycling of valuable electronic components, it is usually necessary to disassemble the bonded parts. Therefore, the adhesive usually needs to have excellent bonding reliability while also being easy to disassemble under certain conditions.
[0005] Reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesives are mainly composed of isocyanate-terminated oligomers. The isocyanate groups in the isocyanate-terminated oligomers can react with moisture in the air. After complete curing, they can form a cross-linked chemical structure, thereby achieving high bonding strength. However, the covalent bonds formed by the reaction of isocyanate groups with moisture are irreversible, and the cross-linked structure is difficult to destroy. After complete curing, it is usually difficult to disassemble the adhesive. If it is necessary to separate the bonded materials, it is often necessary to use large external forces, high temperatures, chemical reagents, etc., and the disassembly of the adhesive may cause damage to the bonded materials, resulting in significant economic losses.
[0006] In recent years, some technologies have also been developed to add ionic liquids or alkali metal salts and solvation matrices to polyurethane hot melt adhesives, thereby giving them the ability to be disassembled under electrical conditions. However, while existing electrically disassembleable polyurethane hot melt adhesives possess this disassembly capability, their high melt viscosity and solid state at room temperature make them difficult to apply. They typically require heating to a melting temperature (usually 90℃~160℃) or higher before extrusion. This usually necessitates the use of specialized heating and application equipment, which increases costs and significantly limits the application scenarios of these polyurethane hot melt adhesives. For example, they are unsuitable for use in homes, repair shops, or other locations where heating equipment is inconvenient, thus greatly restricting the widespread adoption of these single-component polyurethane hot melt adhesives.
[0007] Existing low-viscosity polyurethane hot melt adhesives suitable for room temperature application typically require the addition of excessive amounts of isocyanate monomers to reduce viscosity. While adding large amounts of isocyanate monomers can lower the viscosity to a very low level, the large amount of free isocyanate monomers remaining in the adhesive system poses significant health risks, including respiratory irritation and carcinogenicity. Furthermore, low-viscosity polyurethane hot melt adhesives suitable for room temperature application have slow curing speeds and low initial bond strengths. Their performance in terms of curing speed and bond strength is significantly inferior to traditional PUR hot melt adhesives, making it difficult to meet the performance requirements of practical applications. Furthermore, existing acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesives are polyurethane hot melt adhesives that can be cured by both UV and moisture by modifying polyurethane hot melt adhesives with acrylate compounds through physical blending or chemical modification. The UV curing speed is fast, and the acrylate components in the acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive can be quickly cured after UV irradiation, thus effectively improving the defect of slow curing speed of polyurethane hot melt adhesives that rely on moisture. However, existing acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesives still have many problems such as difficulty in disassembling after curing, difficulty in applying adhesive at room temperature, and difficulty in effectively bonding to opaque substrates.
[0008] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop an adhesive with low free isocyanate content, low melt viscosity, room temperature dispensing capability, high initial and final bond strength, fast curing speed, and electrical disassembly capability to meet market application demands. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The primary objective of this invention is to provide an acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive with low free isocyanate content, low melt viscosity, can be dispensed at room temperature, high initial and final bond strength, fast curing speed, and is electrically removable.
[0010] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive.
[0011] A third objective of this invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive in the bonding of electronic products.
[0012] Specifically, the electrically removable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by the present invention contains a polyurethane prepolymer mixture, an ionic liquid, an acrylate compound, and a photoinitiator. The prepolymer in the polyurethane prepolymer mixture has isocyanate end caps at both ends. The isocyanate structural units in the polyurethane prepolymer mixture are derived from low-viscosity, low-free polyurethane prepolymers, and the polyol structural units are derived from low-viscosity polyol compounds with a glass transition temperature below 0°C and a melting point below 40°C. The mass ratio of the polyurethane prepolymer mixture to the acrylate compound is 1:(0.06–0.9). The total isocyanate group content in the electrically removable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive is 2–8%, and the free isocyanate monomer content is less than 0.1%. The viscosity range of the electrically removable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive at 25°C is 1000–150000 cps, and the attenuation rate of the adhesive strength after applying a voltage of 1–100V is greater than 80%.
[0013] The method for preparing the electrically detachable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention includes:
[0014] S1. The low-viscosity polyol compound and ionic liquid, along with optional rheology modifiers, silane coupling agents and dehydrating agents, are dehydrated to obtain a pretreated product.
[0015] S2. The pretreated product, low-viscosity, low-free polyurethane prepolymer, and optional catalyst are stirred and reacted at 70-90°C for 1-5 hours to obtain a prepolymer containing a mixture of polyurethane prepolymers.
[0016] S3. Mix the prepolymer, acrylate compound and photoinitiator evenly to obtain the electrically detachable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive.
[0017] After in-depth and extensive research, the inventors of this invention discovered that the polyurethane prepolymer mixtures with isocyanate functional groups used in existing electrically disintegratable polyurethane hot melt adhesives are products obtained by reacting polyol compounds with an excess of polyisocyanate compounds. In these polyisocyanate compounds, the molar equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups to hydroxyl groups in the polyol compound is typically set at (1.5–2.5):1 (i.e., the molar ratio of NCO / OH is (1.5–2.5):1). Polyurethane prepared according to this stoichiometric relationship has a low isocyanate content, a large molecular weight, and strong intermolecular forces, resulting in a high melt viscosity in the final polyurethane prepolymer mixture, which is unfavorable for application at room temperature. Furthermore, some of the polyol compounds used in these isocyanate functional group polyurethane prepolymer mixtures have strong crystallinity or a high glass transition temperature (Tg) at room temperature. Polyurethane prepolymer mixtures prepared by reacting room-temperature crystalline polyols or high-Tg polyols with isocyanate compounds are typically solid substances at room temperature. Therefore, electrically disintegratable polyurethane hot melt adhesives prepared using traditional methods are typically solid at room temperature and require heating to above their melting point (90℃~160℃) before they can be melted and applied. As a result, these electrically disintegratable polyurethane hot melt adhesives that require heating to be used significantly raise the barrier to entry for using such adhesives, increase the cost of adhesive application equipment, and also increase the risk of burns to operators during the application process.
[0018] Existing electrically degradable polyurethane hot melt adhesives achieve this by adding ionic liquids or alkali metal salts and a solvating matrix. The Faraday reaction between the anions and cations in the ionic liquids or alkali metal salts under energized conditions imparts the degradability to the polyurethane hot melt adhesive. While the ionic liquids and solvating matrices introduced into the polyurethane hot melt adhesive facilitate this electrical degradability, these liquids do not participate in the curing process. After curing, the adhesive remains in its initial low-viscosity state, negatively impacting the final bond strength. Furthermore, the isocyanate-terminated polyurethanes currently have a low isocyanate-to-hydroxyl equivalence (NCO / OH equivalence ratio between 1.5 and 2.5), resulting in a low isocyanate content. Consequently, these polyurethanes exhibit low crosslinking density after final wet curing, leading to inherently low bond strength. The negative effects of the ionic liquids and solvating matrices further reduce this bond strength. Therefore, although it is possible to prepare electrically disintegratable polyurethane hot melt adhesives by adding ionic liquids or alkali metal salts in combination with solvation matrices to polyurethane hot melt adhesives, their final adhesion is still significantly lacking, which is not conducive to the application and promotion of such products.
[0019] Existing acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesives are UV-curable (UV-curable and moisture-curable) polyurethane hot melt adhesives prepared by modifying polyurethane hot melt adhesives with acrylate compounds through physical blending or chemical modification. They offer fast UV curing; after UV irradiation, the acrylate components in acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesives can quickly achieve photocuring, effectively overcoming the slow curing speed of polyurethane hot melt adhesives that rely on moisture. However, the adhesive strength formed after curing of current acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesives is relatively strong, making it difficult to achieve easily removable properties. Furthermore, currently available adhesives capable of electrical disassembly generally require conductive substrates to be bonded. These conductive substrates are typically opaque, such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. Bonding opaque substrates is difficult using conventional UV-curing adhesives and UV moisture-curing adhesives primarily composed of acrylate compounds and other UV-curing components. This is because, after UV irradiation, adhesive compositions primarily composed of photocuring components cure instantly and quickly lose their re-adhesion. Therefore, most UV-curing adhesives or UV moisture-curing adhesives can only be used for bonding substrates that are transparent on at least one side. Thus, even if known electrical disassembly compositions are directly added to existing UV acrylate adhesives or UV moisture-curing adhesives primarily composed of UV acrylate compounds, they are difficult to directly apply to bonding opaque metal substrates. Furthermore, some existing acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesives suitable for bonding opaque substrates primarily consist of polyurethane prepolymers modified with a small amount of acrylate compounds. While these adhesives can be used for bonding opaque substrates, their high melt viscosity typically necessitates heating equipment for dispensing. The difficulty in applying these adhesives at room temperature stems primarily from two factors: firstly, the low proportion of low-viscosity acrylate compounds results in limited dilution of the polyurethane matrix; secondly, the polyurethane itself incorporates polyols with high glass transition temperatures and / or strong crystallinity at room temperature, leading to inherently high melt viscosity. Therefore, the final acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive is difficult to dispense at room temperature and requires heating equipment for application.
[0020] The key to this invention lies in breaking away from the design limitations of traditional electrically disassembled polyurethane hot melt adhesive preparation processes, which require setting the equivalence ratio of isocyanate groups to hydroxyl groups between (1.5 and 2.5):1 and simultaneously selecting polyol compounds with high Tg and / or high melting points. The invention innovatively reacts polyol compounds with low crystallinity and low glass transition temperature at room temperature with an excess of low-viscosity polyurethane prepolymer with low free isocyanate content. Simultaneously, low-viscosity acrylate compounds and ionic liquids are introduced. This results in an electrically disassembled acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive with advantages such as low free isocyanate content, low melt viscosity, room-temperature dispensing capability, high initial and final bond strength, fast curing speed, and electrical disassembly. The reason for this is speculated to be that: acrylate compounds and ionic liquids have good fluidity at room temperature and both have low viscosity. Introducing acrylate compounds and ionic liquids into polyurethane hot melt adhesives simultaneously can achieve an "initial" reduction in system viscosity, improving the fluidity of the adhesive at room temperature. Selecting low-viscosity polyol compounds with a glass transition temperature below 0°C and a melting point below 40°C can fundamentally reduce the melt viscosity of polyurethane hot melt adhesives at room temperature, achieving a "second" reduction in system viscosity. In other words, this invention reduces the viscosity of the system through the combined effects of external viscosity reduction by acrylate compounds and ionic liquids, and internal viscosity reduction by low-viscosity polyol compounds. This facilitates the direct application of polyurethane hot melt adhesives at room temperature, greatly lowering the application threshold of polyurethane hot melt adhesives, reducing the equipment costs required for their application, and effectively avoiding the risk of burns to operators during the adhesive application process. Furthermore, acrylate compounds can rapidly undergo free radical polymerization after UV irradiation, quickly establishing high initial bond strength. By controlling the amount of low-viscosity, low-free-isocyanate polyurethane prepolymer in a significant excess, the isocyanate group content in the system can be increased, thereby improving the crosslinking density. The acrylate compounds provide initial curing, while the significantly excess isocyanate groups provide post-curing through moisture curing. After complete curing, a polyurethane-polyacrylate interpenetrating network structure can be formed, giving the polyurethane hot melt adhesive high final bond strength. Moreover, ionic liquids can undergo Faraday reactions upon electrolysis; introducing ionic liquids into polyurethane hot melt adhesives can impart electrolytic disintegration properties. In addition, this invention uses a polyurethane prepolymer with low free isocyanate content instead of the traditionally used isocyanate monomer, which can significantly reduce the residual free isocyanate monomer in the adhesive system. As described above, the polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by the present invention relies on acrylate compounds to improve the initial bonding strength in the early stage and on the polyurethane-polyacrylate interpenetrating network structure to improve the final bonding strength in the later stage. Even if affected by the uncured ionic liquid, it can still maintain a relatively high initial bonding strength and final bonding strength.In summary, the electrically detachable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention has the advantages of low free isocyanate content, low melt viscosity, room temperature dispensing capability, high initial and final bond strength, fast curing speed, and electrical detachability, and has broad prospects for practical application. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The electrically detachable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention has a viscosity range of 1000 to 150000 cps at 25°C, specifically 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 30000, 50000, 70000, 90000, 110000, 130000, 150000 cps or any value between them.
[0022] The acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention exhibits a bond strength attenuation rate of over 80% after being energized with a voltage ranging from 1 to 100V. Specifically, this attenuation rate can be 80%, 82%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 100%, or any value between these values. The voltage required for disassembling the acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive is preferably 1 to 100V, specifically 1V, 3V, 5V, 8V, 10V, 20V, 30V, 40V, 50V, 60V, 70V, 80V, 90V, 100V, or any value between these values. The energizing time is preferably 1s to 60min, such as 1s, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1min, 5min, 10min, 15min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min, 60min, or any value between these values.
[0023] In this invention, the total content of isocyanate groups in the electrically detachable one-component reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesive is 2-8%, such as 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, or any value between them. The content of free isocyanate monomers in the electrically detachable one-component reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesive is less than 0.1%, such as 0.1%, 0.08%, 0.05%, 0.03%, 0.02%, 0.01%, or any value between them. In this invention, the total content of isocyanate groups refers to the ratio of the total weight of all unreacted isocyanate functional groups in the system (including isocyanate functional groups on the prepolymer end groups and isocyanate functional groups in the free isocyanate monomers) to the total weight of the polyurethane hot melt adhesive.
[0024] In this invention, the electrically removable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive contains a polyurethane prepolymer mixture, an ionic liquid, acrylate compounds, and a photoinitiator. The viscosity of the system is reduced by introducing polyol structural units with weak crystallinity or low glass transition temperatures from the polyurethane prepolymer mixture, along with the addition of acrylate compounds and ionic liquids, thus giving it the ability to be applied directly at room temperature. Furthermore, the introduction of acrylate compounds improves the initial bond strength and curing speed of the polyurethane hot melt adhesive, and the final bond strength is improved by controlling the mass ratio of the polyurethane prepolymer mixture to the acrylate compounds. The introduction of the ionic liquid imparts electrically removable properties to the polyurethane hot melt adhesive. The polyol structural units contained in the polyurethane prepolymer mixture are derived from low-viscosity polyol compounds. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the low-viscosity polyol compound is below 0℃, specifically 0℃, -2℃, -4℃, -6℃, -8℃, -10℃, -12℃, -14℃, -16℃, -18℃, -20℃, -22℃, -24℃, -26℃, -28℃, -30℃, -32℃, -34℃, -36℃, -38℃, -40℃, etc. The melting point of the low-viscosity polyol compound is below 40°C, specifically 40°C, 38°C, 36°C, 34°C, 32°C, 30°C, 28°C, 26°C, 24°C, 22°C, 20°C, 18°C, 16°C, 14°C, 12°C, 10°C, 8°C, 6°C, 4°C, 2°C, 0°C, -5°C, -10°C, -15°C, -20°C, -30°C, etc. In this invention, the term "polyurethane prepolymer mixture" refers to the product obtained by an addition reaction of a low-viscosity, low-free polyurethane prepolymer and a low-viscosity polyol compound. Because this product contains polymers of different molecular weights and potentially unreacted monomers, it is a mixture of multiple substances, hence the name "polyurethane prepolymer mixture."

[0076] Test case
[0077] The samples from the examples and comparative examples were compared and tested using the following method:
[0078] (1) Viscosity at 25℃: Samples of polyurethane hot melt adhesives obtained from the above examples and comparative examples were taken into a cone-plate viscometer and the viscosity of the adhesives at 25℃ and 1 rpm was tested using the cone-plate viscometer. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0079] (2) Bond strength at different curing times: The polyurethane hot melt adhesives obtained in the above embodiments and comparative examples were applied at room temperature using a dispensing machine (if solid at room temperature, the dispensing temperature was set to 110℃). A rectangular adhesive line of 25mm × 4mm was applied to a stainless steel substrate, and then the adhesive was irradiated with a 365nm UV-LED light source at 2000mJ / cm². 2 After irradiation with the required energy, another stainless steel substrate was bonded to the original stainless steel substrate. Following bonding, the sample was cured at 25°C and 50% RH for 5 min, 30 min, and 48 h. Then, a universal testing machine was used to run the bonded sample along the shear direction at a speed of 10 mm / min until the bond failed. The maximum force value displayed by the instrument was recorded, and the shear bond strength of the polyurethane hot melt adhesive to the stainless steel substrate before energization was calculated based on the bond area. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0080] (3) Bonding strength after energization: Using a dispensing machine, the polyurethane hot melt adhesive obtained in the above embodiments and comparative examples was dispensed at room temperature (if it is solid at room temperature, the dispensing temperature was set to 110℃). A rectangular adhesive line of 25mm×4mm was applied to the stainless steel substrate, and then the adhesive was irradiated with a 365nm UV-LED light source at 2000mJ / cm². 2 After irradiation with the required energy, another stainless steel substrate was bonded to the original stainless steel substrate. Following bonding, the sample was cured at 25°C and 50% RH for 48 hours. Then, the positive and negative terminals of a DC power supply were clamped to both ends of the sheared sample. A specific voltage was applied for a certain time. After energizing, the sample was removed, and a universal testing machine was used to run the bonded sample along the shear direction at a speed of 10 mm / min until the bond failed. The maximum force displayed by the instrument was recorded, and the shear bond strength of the polyurethane hot melt adhesive to the stainless steel substrate was calculated based on the bond area. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0081] (4) Isocyanate group content: Determined according to standard HG / T2409-92. Take (2±0.2)g or more of the polyurethane hot melt adhesive sample obtained from the comparative example and the embodiment (accurate to 0.001g) and place it in an Erlenmeyer flask. Accurately transfer 10mL of di-n-butylamine-toluene solution into the Erlenmeyer flask with a pipette, then add 20mL of toluene and gently shake to dissolve. Finally, add 80mL of anhydrous isopropanol, let stand for 15min, and titrate with 0.5mol / L hydrochloric acid standard solution using bromocresol green as an indicator. The titration endpoint is when the solution changes from blue to yellow and does not change color for 30s (perform a blank test in the same way). Calculate the isocyanate group content in the polyurethane hot melt adhesive sample based on the difference between the amount of hydrochloric acid consumed in the blank titration and the amount consumed in the polyurethane hot melt adhesive sample. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0082] (5) Free isocyanate monomer content: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used with liquid as the mobile phase. A high-pressure delivery system was employed to pump the mobile phase into a chromatographic column packed with the stationary phase. After separation within the column, the components were detected by a detector to obtain the chromatogram of the target substance. The content of free isocyanate monomer in the polyurethane hot melt adhesive was quantitatively calculated using the external standard method. The chromatograms of the test sample and the standard were recorded separately. Based on the integrated area of a specific peak on the chromatogram, the content of free isocyanate in the test sample was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0083] Table 1
[0084] As shown in Table 1, the electrically removable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention has a low viscosity at room temperature, allowing for direct application at room temperature. This significantly improves upon the drawback of reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesives requiring heating for application, increasing the convenience of adhesive use and reducing the risk of burns to operators using heating equipment. Based on practical experience, a bond strength below 2.0 MPa at room temperature indicates that the polyurethane hot melt adhesive is electrically removable; otherwise, it is not. Table 1 also shows that the acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention, which can be applied at room temperature, can quickly establish a high initial bond strength after UV irradiation, enabling preliminary positioning in a short time. After complete curing, it exhibits excellent final bond strength, and the adhesive strength significantly decreases after energization, even leading to direct detachment, demonstrating excellent energized removability. In summary, the electrically removable acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention also has extremely low free isocyanate monomer residue, significantly reducing the risk of health hazards during hot melt adhesive use. In summary, the acrylate-modified polyurethane hot melt adhesive provided by this invention has a low free isocyanate content, can be dispensed at room temperature, has high initial and final bond strength, and a fast curing speed. It also has the function of being disassembled under power conditions, and has broad prospects for practical applications.
