Solution Overview

Problem

Existing packaging materials for cells require a long-time aging step for polyurethane-based adhesives, leading to increased lead time and insufficient adhesion between resin and metal layers, as well as moisture and heat resistance issues.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition comprising urethane (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylate with a phosphoric acid group, (meth)acryl-based silane coupling agent, and (meth)acrylate with an epoxy group is used to bond base material and metal layers, allowing for rapid curing without a long-time aging step, enhancing adhesion and moisture and heat resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a polyurethane-based adhesive is used for bonding base material layer and metal layer, then adhesive strength can be improved through aging step, but lead time increases due to long-time aging requirement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidlead time
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive from conventional polyurethane-based adhesive to a resin composition containing specific components (isocyanate group-containing compound, hydroxyl group-containing compound, and catalyst) to enable rapid curing. This parameter change allows the adhesive to achieve sufficient bonding strength without requiring long-time aging, thus reducing lead time while maintaining adhesive strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the thermal-aging mechanism with a chemical-curing mechanism. Instead of relying on heat-induced aging over extended periods, the invention uses a catalyst-driven chemical reaction that proceeds at ambient or elevated temperatures to rapidly form crosslinked structures, achieving bond strength without prolonged aging steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If packaging material is placed under moist and hot environment, then moisture and heat resistance is tested, but base material layer and metal layer peel from adhesive layer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoisture and heat resistanceVSAvoidbonding strength under humid heat conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a catalyst system that promotes rapid crosslinking of the adhesive formulation before exposure to harsh environmental conditions. This pre-formed crosslinked network structure provides resistance to moisture and heat by creating a dense, chemically stable matrix that prevents water penetration and maintains bond integrity under humid heat conditions, cushioning against environmental degradation before it occurs

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical parameters of the adhesive by incorporating specific catalysts that accelerate crosslinking and enhance the density and stability of the polymer network. These parameter changes in the adhesive composition result in a cured adhesive with superior resistance to moisture and heat, preventing delamination under environmental stress conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
