Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a urethane-based resin is used in the matte coat layer, then formability is improved, but chemical resistance and solvent resistance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveformabilityVSAvoidchemical resistance and solvent resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining urethane-based resin and acrylic resin in the matte coat layer. The urethane-based resin provides flexibility and formability, while the acrylic resin contributes chemical resistance and solvent resistance. This composite approach resolves the contradiction by integrating the strengths of both materials to achieve balanced performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by adjusting the mass ratio of urethane-based resin to acrylic resin within specific ranges (0.3-2.0, preferably 0.5-1.5). By optimizing these compositional parameters, the matte coat layer achieves both good formability and adequate chemical/solvent resistance, resolving the contradiction through precise parameter control.

2Reliability

If a fluorine-based resin is used in the matte coat layer, then chemical resistance and solvent resistance are improved, but print ink adherence deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechemical resistance and solvent resistanceVSAvoidprint ink adherence
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses composite materials by combining acrylic resin with urethane-based resin instead of fluorine-based resin. The acrylic resin provides good print ink adherence while the urethane-based resin adds flexibility. This composite approach achieves both printability and adequate chemical/solvent resistance without the adherence problems associated with fluorine-based resins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by controlling the mass ratio of acrylic resin to urethane-based resin within specific ranges (0.5-2.0, preferably 0.8-1.2). This optimization ensures sufficient print ink adherence while maintaining chemical and solvent resistance, resolving the contradiction through parameter adjustment.

3Reliability

If the matte coat layer is made highly resistant to electrolytes, then prevention of electrolyte adhesion is improved, but printability may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrolyte resistanceVSAvoidprintability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining acrylic resin and urethane-based resin in the matte coat layer. This combination provides sufficient electrolyte resistance to prevent adhesion of battery electrolytes while maintaining good printability for characters and barcodes, resolving the contradiction between chemical resistance and printability.
