Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a polyurethane resin contains a large quantity of linear aliphatic frameworks to improve flexibility and reactivity, then the coating film becomes flexible and reactivity improves, but the adhesive agent may flow out or decompose under thermal load, deteriorating adhesive property

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidadhesive property under thermal load
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the chemical structure parameter of the polyol component from conventional linear aliphatic frameworks to cyclic carbonate structures (specifically 1,4-dioxane-2,3-dione and 1,3-dioxolan-2-one rings). This structural parameter change maintains the flexibility needed for ease of operation while the cyclic structure provides thermal stability that prevents flow and decomposition under thermal load, thereby resolving the contradiction between flexibility and thermal load resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite molecular structure by combining cyclic carbonate polyol components with specific diisocyanate and chain extender components in defined ratios. This composite approach integrates the flexibility benefits of aliphatic structures with the thermal stability of cyclic carbonate rings, achieving both ease of operation and reliability under thermal conditions simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If a polyurethane resin uses linear aliphatic frameworks to achieve flexibility, then the coating film becomes flexible, but the types of substrates to which the adhesive agent can exert adhesive property are limited, narrowing substrate selectivity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidsubstrate selectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention modifies the chemical composition parameters by incorporating cyclic carbonate structures (1,4-dioxane-2,3-dione and 1,3-dioxolan-2-one) into the polyol backbone. This structural parameter change enhances substrate selectivity through improved chemical bonding capabilities while preserving the flexibility required for ease of operation, thereby resolving the contradiction between flexibility and substrate versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The cyclic carbonate polyol structure provides multi-functional adhesive capability, enabling the adhesive agent to effectively bond to diverse substrate types including metals, plastics, and ceramics. This universal adhesive performance is achieved while maintaining the flexibility needed for ease of operation, thus resolving the limitation in substrate selectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
