Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a dry treatment is performed without a primer composition, then the manufacturing process is simplified and production efficiency is improved, but the adhesion strength of the multilayer member becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the temperature parameters during dry treatment by controlling the ultimate temperature and high temperature holding time to prevent resin melting while achieving sufficient surface activation for adhesive bonding, thereby eliminating the need for primer composition
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses composite materials consisting of crystallizable thermoplastic resin and inorganic substances, where the inorganic substances remain unaffected by the controlled temperature treatment and provide stable adhesion sites for the adhesive layer
2Strength
If the temperature during dry treatment is increased to improve surface activation, then the adhesion is enhanced, but the crystallizable thermoplastic resin melts and deteriorates the adhesion
Solution Approach 1:
The invention precisely controls the temperature parameters during dry treatment by setting the ultimate temperature and high temperature holding time within specific ranges that activate the resin surface for bonding without causing melting or degradation
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies partial heating that is sufficient to activate the surface for adhesion but deliberately stops short of the temperature required to melt the resin, achieving the desired effect without excessive thermal exposure

AI summary
Provided is a method for producing a multilayer member exhibiting excellent adhesion. A method for producing a multilayer member having a first member containing a crystallizable thermoplastic resin, an adhesion layer, and a second member in this order includes a surface treatment step of performing a dry treatment on a surface of the first member containing a crystallizable thermoplastic resin so as to satisfy the following conditions A and B, an adhesive application step of applying an adhesive to the surface of the first member subjected to the dry treatment without a primer composition, to form an adhesive layer on the surface, and an adhering step of adhering the second member to the adhesive layer. (A) The ultimate temperature of the first member is lower than the peak temperature of endothermic peak obtained by differential scanning calorimetry of the crystallizable thermoplastic resin. (B) The high temperature holding time of the first member is less than 3.0 seconds. Herein, the high temperature holding time of the first member is a time when the first member is continuously held at a temperature not lower than a temperature at the starting point of the endothermic peak obtained by differential scanning calorimetry of the crystallizable thermoplastic resin.
