Solution Overview

Problem

Polyarylene sulfide resin molded articles face challenges with insufficient adhesiveness to silicone resin and poor releasability, leading to issues like mold adherence and degraded adhesion strength when sealed with silicone resin.

Innovation Solution

A polyarylene sulfide resin composition containing a polyarylene sulfide resin, dimethylpolysiloxane, fatty acid ester, and silane coupling agent is used, which improves adhesiveness to silicone resin and releasability by enhancing the bonding and curing process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If polyarylene sulfide resin is mixed with PTFE to improve adhesiveness to silicone resin, then adhesion strength is improved, but crystallization of silicone resin excessively proceeds and whitening occurs at the interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion strength to silicone resinVSAvoidinterface appearance (whitening)
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the chemical composition parameters of the polyarylene sulfide resin by introducing specific functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxyl, or amine groups) that react with silicone resin to form strong chemical bonds. This chemical modification approach replaces the physical mixing approach, preventing excessive crystallization and interface whitening while achieving strong adhesion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite resin system by combining polyarylene sulfide with specific reactive additives (carboxyl-containing, hydroxyl-containing, or amine-containing compounds) that work synergistically to improve adhesion to silicone resin without causing interface defects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If polyarylene sulfide resin is molded with additives to improve adhesion, then releasability from mold is improved, but adhesion strength to silicone resin is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemold releasabilityVSAvoidadhesion strength to silicone resin
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The invention carefully controls the content parameters of functional groups (0.01-5 wt% carboxyl, 0.01-5 wt% hydroxyl, or 0.01-3 wt% amine groups) to achieve optimal balance between mold releasability and adhesion strength, preventing both excessive adhesion to mold and insufficient adhesion to silicone resin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates different functional zones within the resin: the base polyarylene sulfide provides mold releasability, while the specifically controlled reactive additives at the interface provide adhesion to silicone resin, achieving local optimization of different properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
