Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional water-soluble polyamideimide resins fail to provide adequate substrate adhesion and steam resistance for household electrical appliances and kitchen utensils, particularly in applications like rice cookers and pressure cookers, which require high steam resistance.

Innovation Solution

A polyamideimide resin composition containing 3,3'-dimethylbiphenyl structural units is used, combined with a fluororesin, to form a coating film that exhibits excellent adhesion and steam resistance after high-temperature firing, while being water-based to reduce VOC emissions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional water-soluble polyamideimide resins are used, then the coating material can be diluted with water and exhibits good miscibility with fluororesin aqueous dispersions, but the coating film does not provide adequate substrate adhesion and steam resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater solubility and miscibilityVSAvoidsubstrate adhesion and steam resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of the polyamideimide resin by incorporating specific aromatic diamine units (3,3'-dimethylbiphenyl-4,4'-diamine, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, and m-xylylenediamine) in controlled ratios. This structural modification enables the resin to maintain water solubility while achieving the required adhesion and steam resistance properties in the cured coating film.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite resin system by combining multiple diamine components with specific polyamic acid structures. This composite approach allows the resin to exhibit both water solubility (from the polyamic acid groups) and enhanced adhesion/steam resistance (from the aromatic diamine structural units) simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If high-temperature firing is applied to orient fluororesin toward the coating film surface, then non-tacky properties are achieved, but substrate adhesion may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenon-tacky property achievementVSAvoidsubstrate adhesion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares the polyamideimide resin in advance with specific structural units that will maintain adhesion even after high-temperature firing. The resin is formulated with aromatic diamine units that create a robust bonding network before firing, cushioning against potential adhesion loss during the subsequent high-temperature orientation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the thermal stability parameters of the resin by incorporating aromatic diamine structures that remain stable at high temperatures. This allows the resin to withstand the 400°C firing process required for fluororesin orientation without compromising substrate adhesion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
