Solution Overview

Problem

Modified polyolefin resins with high heat-resistant adhesivity to difficult-to-adhere base materials suffer from poor solution stability and handling properties.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition comprising a modified polyolefin resin (A) with a melting point of 100°C or lower and a modified polyolefin resin (B) with an extrapolated melting initiation temperature of 120°C or higher, dispersed in resin (A), where resin (B) has an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 100 µm, and modified with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative, with a mass ratio of (A) to (B) ranging from 50:50 to 95:5.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Temperature

If modified polyolefin resins with high melting points are used to achieve heat-resistant adhesivity, then heat-resistant adhesivity is improved, but solution stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the modified polyolefin resin into two distinct components: resin (A) with melting point ≤100°C and resin (B) with extrapolated melting initiation temperature ≥120°C. This segmentation allows each component to fulfill different functional requirements - resin (A) provides solution stability while resin (B) contributes heat-resistant adhesivity, thereby resolving the contradiction between these two properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite resin system by combining two modified polyolefin resins with different thermal characteristics. The composite structure leverages the complementary properties of both resins: the low-melting resin (A) ensures good solution stability and handling, while the high-melting resin (B) provides the necessary heat-resistant adhesivity, thus overcoming the limitations of using a single high-melting resin.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the resin system into two components with distinct melting points, the invention assigns different operational roles to each component. Resin (A) with melting point ≤100°C handles the processing and application stages, providing ease of handling, while resin (B) with extrapolated melting initiation temperature ≥120°C takes over to provide heat-resistant adhesivity after application, thus resolving the contradiction between handling properties and heat-resistant adhesivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention utilizes parameter changes in the thermal properties of the resin components. By selecting resin (A) with melting point ≤100°C for processing conditions and resin (B) with extrapolated melting initiation temperature ≥120°C for service conditions, the system adapts its properties across different temperature ranges, enabling easy handling during application while maintaining heat-resistant adhesivity in service.
