【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ブロツク共重合体を使用した粘着剤組成物およびその製造方法と、粘着シ―ト類(シ―ト、テ―プなど)に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、包装用粘着テ―プ、塗装用マスキング用粘着テ―プ、医療用粘着テ―プ、生理用品用粘着テ―プ、紙オムツ固定用粘着テ―プおよび粘着ラベルなど、圧着する程度で簡単に接着することが要求される用途に対して、溶剤型、エマルシヨン型、ホツトメルト型などの粘着剤が用いられている。
【0003】
溶剤型の粘着剤としては、ゴム系や(メタ)アクリレ―ト系などが知られているが、近年、乾燥効率や省エネルギ―性および作業環境の面から、溶剤の使用量をできるだけ削減することが要望されている。この要望に対して、重合体製造時の溶剤の使用量を少なくすると、発生する重合熱の制御の点から、安全性に問題があつた。また、エマルシヨン型の粘着剤では、重合体粒子が水中に分散しているため、粘着剤層の形成に際して、最終的に水分を除去する必要があり、乾燥効率や省エネルギ―性の理由で、やはり問題があつた。
【0004】
ホツトメルト型の粘着剤は、溶剤型やエマルシヨン型の粘着剤に比べて、安全性や経済性などの面ですぐれており、たとえば、スチレン−イソプレンブロツク共重合体を主成分としたものが知られている。しかし、この種の粘着剤は、一般に、耐光性が良くなく、これを用いた製品の経日による性能劣化が問題となる。そこで、上記耐光性を低下させる原因となるイソプレン系重合体成分に代えて、一般的に耐光性が良いことが知られている(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体成分を導入して、上記問題のない粘着剤を得る試みがなされている。
【0005】
しかしながら、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―とスチレン系モノマ―とのランダム共重合体は、容易に合成可能であつて、これを粘着剤の主成分とした例はみられるが、粘着特性の面で満足できるものは得られなかつた。一方、スチレン系重合体成分と(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体成分とのブロツク共重合体は、ラジカル重合法、アニオン重合法、カチオン重合法のいずれの重合法によつても、容易には得られず、これを粘着剤の主成分とした例はみられない。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、このような従来の事情に照らし、スチレン系重合体などからなる非エラストマ―性重合体成分と、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体からなるエラストマ―性重合体成分とのブロツク共重合体を、無溶剤または少量の溶剤の存在下、安全性に問題を生じることなく容易に生成して、これを粘着剤の主剤成分として利用することにより、従来のエマルシヨン型のような経済性の問題、つまり水分除去のための乾燥効率や省エネルギ―性などの問題を起こすことなく、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体の導入に基づく耐光性の向上効果に加えて、改善された粘着特性を発揮する、とくにポリエチレンやポリプロピレンなどの低極性のポリオレフイン系被着体に対しても高い接着性を有する粘着剤組成物とその製造方法および粘着シ―ト類を提供することを目的としている。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記の目的を達成するために、鋭意検討した結果、非エラストマ―性重合体を付与するスチレン系モノマ―などと、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―とを、特定の活性化剤および重合開始剤を用いて、リビングラジカル重合させる方法によると、従来では適当な合成法が知られていなかつた、スチレン系重合体などからなる非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAと(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体からなるエラストマ―性重合体ブロツクBとが結合してなるA−B型やA−B−A型などのブロツク共重合体を、無溶剤または少量の溶剤の存在下、重合熱の制御などの安全性の問題を生じることなく、容易に生成できるものであることがわかつた。また、このブロツク共重合体を粘着剤の主剤成分として使用するとともに、これにさらに特定の低分子量重合体を混合することにより、従来のエマルシヨン型のような経済性の問題を生じることなく、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体に基づく本来の耐光性の向上効果に加えて、改善された粘着特性を発揮する、とくにポリエチレンやポリプロピレンなどの低極性のポリオレフイン系被着体に対しても高い接着性を有する、また耐熱性にもすぐれた粘着剤組成物が得られることを見い出し、本発明を完成するに至つた。
【0009】
すなわち、本発明は、ガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマー性重合体を付与するモノマーと、(メタ)アクリレート系モノマーとを、遷移金属とその配位子の存在下、重合開始剤を用いて、適宜のモノマー順にリビングラジカル重合すると共に、この重合に際し、重合開始剤として分子内に水酸基を有する重合開始剤を使用するか、または/および、重合系に分子内に水酸基を有する単量体を重合転化率が80重量%以上に達した時点で添加することにより、a)ガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマー性重合体ブロックAと、(メタ)アクリレート系重合体からなるエラストマー性重合体ブロックBとが、少なくとも2ブロック結合してなる、ポリマー鎖の末端に水酸基を有する数平均分子量15,000〜200,000のブロック共重合体を生成し、これに、b)ガラス転移温度が0〜160℃の範囲にある数平均分子量1,000〜10,000の低分子量重合体と、水酸基と反応する架橋剤とを混合することを特徴とする粘着剤組成物の製造方法、とくに上記の遷移金属と配位子の組み合わせがCu+1−ビピリジン錯体である上記構成の粘着剤組成物の製造方法に係るものである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
リビングラジカル重合法に関しては、たとえば、(1)Pattenらによる報告、“Radical Polymerization Yielding Polymers with Mw/Mn 〜 1.05 by Homogeneous Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization ”Polymer Preprinted,pp 575-6,No37(March 1996)、(2)Matyjasewskiらによる報告、“Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization. Halogen Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Promoted by a Cu(I)/Cu(II)Redox Process ”Macromolecules 1995,28,7901-10(October 15,1995)、(3)同著PCT/US96/03302,International Publication No.WO96/30421 (October 3,1996)、(4)M.Sawamotoらの報告、“Ruthenium-mediated Living Radical polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate ”Macromolecules,1996,29,1070.などが知られている。
【0011】
本発明者らは、このリビングラジカル重合法に着目し、活性化剤として遷移金属とその配位子を使用し、これらの存在下、重合開始剤を使用して、ガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマ―性重合体を付与するスチレン系モノマ―などからなるモノマ―と、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―とを、適宜のモノマ―順に、リビングラジカル重合させることにより、ガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAと、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体からなるエラストマ―性重合体ブロツクBとが、少なくとも2ブロツク結合してなるブロツク共重合体を、容易に生成できることを見い出したものである。
【0012】
遷移金属としては、Cu、Ru、Fe、Rh、VまたはNiがあり、通常、これら金属のハロゲン化物(塩化物、臭化物など)の中から、用いられる。また、配位子は、遷移金属を中心にして配位して錯体を形成するものであつて、ビピリジン誘導体、メルカプタン誘導体、トリフルオレ―ト誘導体などが好ましく用いられる。遷移金属とその配位子の組み合わせの中でも、Cu+1−ビピリジン錯体が、重合の安定性や重合速度の面で、最も好ましい。
【0013】
重合開始剤としては、α−位にハロゲンを含有するエステル系またはスチレン系誘導体が好ましく、とくに2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)プロピオン酸誘導体、塩化(または臭化)1−フエニル誘導体が好ましく用いられる。具体的には、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)プロピオン酸メチル、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)プロピオン酸エチル、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)−2−メチルプロピオン酸メチル、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)−2−メチルプロピオン酸エチル、塩化(または臭化)1−フエニルエチルなどが挙げられる。
【0014】
本発明において、重合性モノマ―のひとつであるガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマ―性重合体を付与するモノマ―としては、代表的には、スチレン、α−メチルスチレン、2,4−ジメチルスチレン、4−メトキシスチレンなどのスチレン系モノマ―が用いられる。しかし、上記の非エラストマ―性重合体を付与するモノマ―であれば、とくに限定されるものではなく、たとえば、イソボルニルアクリレ―ト、ジシクロペンタニルアクリレ―トなどのスチレン系以外のモノマ―を使用することもできる。
【0015】
また、重合性モノマ―の他のひとつである(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―としては、一般式(1):CH2 =CR1 COOR2 (式中、R1 は水素原子またはメチル基、R2 は炭素数2〜14のアルキル基である)で表される(メタ)アクリレ―トを主モノマ―としたものであり、その中でも、n−ブチル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、2−エチルヘキシル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、イソオクチル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、イソノニル(メタ)アクリレ―トなどの炭素数4〜12のアルキル基を有する(メタ)アクリレ―トが好ましく用いられる。
【0016】
なお、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―としては、上記主モノマ―とともに、これと共重合可能な改質用モノマ―を、(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―全体の40重量%以下、好ましくは30重量%以下、より好ましくは20重量%以下の割合で併用してもよい。このような改質用モノマ―としては、(メタ)アクリルアミド、マレイン酸のモノまたはジエステル、グリシジル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、N,N−ジメチルアミノエチル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、N,N−ジメチルアミノプロピル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、N−ビニルピロリドン、アクリロニトリル、(メタ)アクリロリイルモルホリンなどが挙げられる。
【0017】
上記リビングラジカル重合法において、たとえば、ガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマ―性重合体を付与するモノマ―がスチレン系モノマ―の場合、このスチレン系モノマ―を最初に重合させ、つぎに(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―を加えてこのモノマ―の重合を続けると、A−B型のブロツク共重合体を生成できる。また、上記の(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―の重合後、再度スチレン系モノマ―を加えてこのモノマ―の重合を続けると、A−B−A型のブロツク共重合体を生成できる。さらに、これらの重合の順序を逆にすることによつて、B−A型、B−A−B型などの任意のブロツク共重合体を生成できる。このような逐次的な重合を行う場合に、後のモノマ―を加えるときは、前のモノマ―の重合転化率が少なくとも50重量%を超えた時点、通常は60重量%以上、好ましくは70重量%以上、より好ましくは80重量%以上、さらに好ましくは90重量%以上となつた時点で、加えるようにするのが望ましい。
【0018】
上記のリビングラジカル重合において、重合開始剤としては、重合性モノマ―全体に対し、通常0.01〜10モル%、好ましくは0.1〜5モル%の割合で用いられる。また、遷移金属の使用量は、ハロゲン化物などの形態として、上記重合開始剤1モルに対して、通常0.01〜3モル、好ましくは0.1〜1モルの割合で用いられる。さらに、その配位子は、上記の遷移金属(ハロゲン化物などの形態)1モルに対して、通常1〜5モル、好ましくは2〜3モルの割合で用いられる。重合開始剤と活性化剤とをこのような使用割合にすると、リビングラジカル重合の反応性、生成ポリマ―の分子量などに好結果が得られる。
【0019】
このようなリビングラジカル重合は、無溶剤でも進行させることができるし、酢酸ブチル、トルエン、キシレンなどの溶剤の存在下で進行させてもよい。溶剤を用いる場合、重合速度の低下を防ぐため、重合終了後の溶剤濃度が50重量%以下となる少量の使用量とするのがよい。無溶剤または少量の溶剤量でも、重合熱の制御などに関する安全性の問題はとくになく、むしろ溶剤削減によつて経済性や環境対策などの面で好結果が得られる。また、重合条件としては、重合速度や触媒の失活の点より、70〜130℃の重合温度で、最終的な分子量や重合温度にも依存するが、約1〜100時間の重合時間とすればよい。
【0020】
このようにして生成されるブロツク共重合体は、A−B型のブロツク共重合体ではスチレン系重合体などからなるガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAが起点となり、これに(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体からなるエラストマ―性重合体ブロツクBが結合した構造をとり、またA−B−A型のブロツク共重合体では上記非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAが起点となり、これに上記エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクBと上記非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAとが順次結合した構造をとる。このように、ガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAと(メタ)アクリレ―ト系重合体からなるエラストマ―性重合体ブロツクBとが、少なくとも2ブロツク結合したブロツク共重合体は、いずれも、汎用されるスチレン−イソプレン−スチレン系ブロツク共重合体にみられるようなミクロドメイン構造を示し、これが粘着力とともに凝集力を満足する、すぐれた粘着特性を付与するものと思われる。
【0021】
このような少なくとも2ブロツクが結合したブロツク共重合体において、スチレン系重合体などからなるガラス転移温度が20℃以上の非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAの割合としては、ブロツク共重合体全体の5〜50重量%、好ましくは10〜40重量%、より好ましくは15〜30重量%であるのがよい。上記非エラストマ―性重合体ブロツクAの割合が多すぎると、粘着剤に要求される粘弾性特性に欠け、粘着剤用として固すぎるポリマ―となり、逆に少なすぎると、粘着剤に必要な凝集力に劣るようになり、いずれも好ましくない。
【0022】
また、このようなブロツク共重合体の分子量は、粘着特性や塗布性などの点より、数平均分子量が15,000〜200,000、好ましくは30,000〜100,000であるのがよい。ここで、上記の数平均分子量は、GPC(ゲルパ―ミエ―シヨンクロマトグラフイ―)法によるポリスチレン換算にて求められる値を意味する。なお、ブロツク共重合体の数平均分子量〔Mn〕は、Mn(計算値)=〔(モノマ―の分子量)×(モノマ―のモル比)〕/(重合開始剤のモル比)にて与えられることが知られている。このため、理論的には、重合性モノマ―と重合開始剤の仕込み比率を調節することにより、得られるブロツク共重合体の数平均分子量を意図的に制御することが可能である。
【0023】
本発明においては、a成分として上記の少なくとも2ブロツクが結合したブロツク共重合体を使用し、このa成分を主剤成分として、これに後述するb成分の低分子量重合体を混合して、粘着剤組成物を調製するが、この粘着剤組成物を架橋処理するときは、架橋処理を容易にするため、上記a成分のブロツク共重合体のポリマ―鎖中にあらかじめ適宜の官能基を含ませておくのがよい。
【0024】
官能基の種類は、架橋処理の方法に応じて適宜選択できるが、架橋剤として多官能イソシアネ―トなどを使用するときは、この架橋剤と反応する官能基として水酸基を有しているのが望ましい。この水酸基を有するブロツク共重合体は、重合開始剤として分子内に水酸基を有するものを使用したり、重合性モノマ―の1種として分子内に水酸基を有する単量体を使用することにより、さらにはこれらを組み合わせることにより、容易に生成できる。
【0025】
分子内に水酸基を有する重合開始剤を使用すると、ポリマ―鎖の開始末端に上記水酸基を導入させることができる。このような重合開始剤としては、α−位にハロゲンを含有するエステル系またはスチレン系誘導体であつて、その分子内に水酸基を有するものが好ましい。具体的には、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)プロピオン酸2−ヒドロキシエチル、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)プロピオン酸4−ヒドロキシブチル、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)−2−メチルプロピオン酸2−ヒドロキシエチル、2−ブロモ(またはクロロ)−2−メチルプロピオン酸4−ヒドロキシブチルなどが挙げられる。なお、これら分子内に水酸基を有する重合開始剤は、分子内に水酸基を有しない前記の重合開始剤と併用してもよく、この場合、両者の合計量が前記範囲となるようにすればよい。
【0026】
分子内に水酸基を有する単量体を使用すると、この単量体の添加時点に応じてポリマ―鎖の任意位置に水酸基を導入できる。このような単量体には、式(2):CH2 =CR3 COOR4 (式中、R3 は水素原子またはメチル基、R4 は水酸基を少なくとも1個有する炭素数2〜6のアルキル基である)で表されるヒドロキシアルキル(メタ)アクリレ―トが用いられる。具体的には、2−ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、3−ヒドロキシプロピル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、4−ヒドロキシブチル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、6−ヒドロキシヘキシル(メタ)アクリレ―トなどが挙げられる。これらの分子内に水酸基を有する単量体は、良好な粘着特性を維持させるため、重合性モノマ―全体の10重量%以下、好ましくは5重量%以下の使用量とするのがよい。
【0027】
分子内に水酸基を有する重合開始剤と、分子内に水酸基を有する単量体を併用すると、架橋後の粘着特性により好結果が得られる。とくに、上記単量体を重合後期に添加する、つまり最終段目(たとえば、A−B型では2段目、A−B−A型では3段目)の重合体ブロツクの形成時にモノマ―の重合転化率が80重量%以上に達した時点で添加すると、ポリマ―鎖の停止末端に上記単量体の水酸基を導入でき、これとポリマ―鎖の開始末端に導入される重合開始剤に由来する水酸基とにより、2個以上の水酸基がブロツク共重合体にテレケリツク的に導入されることになる。その結果、架橋反応でブロツク共重合体がより直線状に延長され、架橋間距離のばらつきの小さい均一な架橋ポリマ―が得られることになり、これが粘着特性の向上により好結果をもたらすことになる。
【0028】
本発明において用いられるb成分としての低分子量重合体は、これを上記a成分のブロツク共重合体に混合することにより、一般の粘着付与樹脂のような相溶性や耐候性の低下などの問題を生じることなく、しかも凝集力を低下させずに、接着力をより向上させるためのものであり、とくにポリエチレンやポリプロピレンなどの低極性のポリオレフイン系被着体に対しても高い接着性を発揮して、粘着特性のさらなる改善に大きく貢献するものである。
【0029】
このような低分子量重合体としては、ガラス転移温度が0〜160℃の範囲、とくに0〜100℃の範囲にあり、数平均分子量が1,000〜10,000、とくに3,000〜10,000の範囲にあるのが望ましい。ここで、上記の数平均分子量とは、前記a成分のブロツク共重合体の場合と同様にして測定される値を意味するものである。ガラス転移温度および数平均分子量が上記の範囲を逸脱すると、粘着特性の向上に好結果が得られにくい。とくにガラス転移温度が0℃未満となると、凝集力の低下が起こりやすくなり、また160℃を超えると、固くなりすぎて、粘着剤としての性能が劣化する。
【0030】
このような低分子量重合体は、モノマ―として、ホモポリマ―またはコポリマ―のガラス転移温度が上記の範囲となり、望ましくは低極性のポリオレフイン系被着体に対する接着性の向上にとくに寄与する低極性モノマ―成分を選択して、これを適宜の重合法で重合させることにより、得ることができる。上記の低極性モノマ―成分としては、たとえば、イソボルニル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、フエノキシエチル(メタ)アクリレ―ト、スチレン、ジシクロペンタニルアクリレ―ト、メチル(メタ)アクリレ―トなどや、これらと前記a成分のブロツク共重合体を得るための重合性モノマ―のひとつである(メタ)アクリレ―ト系モノマ―との併用系などを挙げることができる。
【0031】
これらモノマ―の重合は、ラジカル重合、イオン重合(カチオン重合やアニオン重合)、配位重合、開環重合、重縮合、重付加などの種々の重合法を採用して行うことができるが、とくに望ましくは前記a成分のブロツク共重合体を得るために使用したリビングラジカル重合法を採用して行うのがよい。このリビングラジカル重合法によると、分子量の制御が容易で、また分子量分布の狭い重合体を容易に得ることができ、さらに重合体分子内に官能基を含ませる場合には、その官能基の量や導入位置を容易に制御することができる。このようなリビングラジカル重合法は、モノマ―として上記成分を選択使用する以外は、前記a成分のブロツク共重合体を得る場合と同様にして行うことができる。
【0032】
このようにして得られるb成分の低分子量重合体は、a成分のブロツク共重合体100重量部あたり、通常5〜70重量部、好ましくは10〜50重量部の割合で用いられる。b成分の低分子量重合体が5重量部未満となると、接着力の向上効果、とくに低極性のポリオレフイン系被着体に対する接着性の向上効果が低くなり、また70重量部を超えてしまうと、凝集力の低下が起こるようになり、いずれも、粘着特性の改善に好ましい結果が得られない。
【0033】
本発明の粘着剤組成物は、a成分としてのブロツク共重合体を主剤成分とし、これにb成分としての低分子量重合体を上記割合で混合してなり、この粘着剤組成物には、必要により、充填剤、老化防止剤、顔料などの一般の粘着剤組成物に配合される各種の添加剤を含ませることができる。これら各種の添加剤は、本発明の効果を損なうことのない、通常の添加量で用いられる。
【0034】
本発明の粘着剤組成物は、これを架橋処理することなく、そのまま使用に供することができる。また、必要により、適宜の架橋処理を施して、a成分としてのブロツク共重合体またはこれとb成分としての低分子量重合体の主鎖延長と網状化とを同時に行わせて、分子鎖長の長い架橋ポリマ―を生成させ、これにより、凝集力をさらに高めた粘着剤として使用に供してもよい。
【0035】
架橋処理の方法はとくに限定されず、公知の種々の方法を採用できるが、最も有効な方法は、既述したとおり、a成分としてのブロツク共重合体のポリマ―鎖中にあらかじめ水酸基を含ませておき、この場合必要によりb成分としての低分子量重合体の分子内にも水酸基を含ませておき、これらに対し架橋剤として多官能イソシアネ―トを加えて、上記の水酸基とイソシアネ―ト基とを加熱反応させる方法が挙げられる。また、上記以外の架橋剤としてピロメリツト酸無水物などの多官能酸無水物を使用して、上記同様に反応させてもよい。
【0036】
多官能イソシアネ―トとしては、トリレンジイソシアネ―ト、ジフエニルメタンジイソシアネ―ト、p−フエニレンジイソシアネ―ト、ヘキサメチレンジイソシアネ―ト、1,5−ナフタレンジイソシアネ―ト、これらジイソシアネ―トと多価アルコ―ル、たとえばプロパントリオ―ルなどとの付加物、あるいはこれらジイソシアネ―トが三量化したトリシアヌル誘導体などが挙げられる。また、これら多官能イソシアネ―トのブロツク体、具体的には、アセト酢酸エチル、メチルエチルケトオキシム、カプロラクタムなどで保護した化合物を、架橋処理時に加熱により活性化させて、使用してもよい。
【0037】
このような多官能イソシアネ―トの使用量としては、a成分のブロツク共重合体などに含まれる水酸基数に応じて決められるが、通常は、上記ブロツク共重合体100重量部あたり、0.05〜5重量部の使用割合とするのがよい。多すぎると接着力が低下し、少なすぎると凝集力が不足する。なお、上記の架橋処理に際しては、通常、50〜150℃に加熱して行うことができ、その際、錫化合物などの触媒を用いて、架橋速度を促進させるようにしてもよい。
【0038】
本発明の粘着シ―ト類は、支持体の片面または両面に粘着剤組成物を塗工し、必要により乾燥したのち、架橋処理するときは前記方法で架橋処理して、厚さが片面で通常10〜100μmとなる粘着剤組成物からなる層を形成して、テ―プ状やシ―ト状などの形態としたものである。上記の支持体としては、紙、プラスチツクラミネ―ト紙、布、プラスチツクラミネ―ト布、プラスチツクフイルム、金属箔、発泡体などが用いられ、その他、剥離処理したフイルムや紙などを使用することもできる。また、この支持体上に粘着剤組成物を塗工する際には、必要により加熱して粘度を低下させた状態で塗工することができ、具体的には、ホツトメルトコ―タ、コンマロ―ル、グラビアコ―タ、ロ―ルコ―タ、キスコ―タ、スロツトダイコ―タ、スクイズコ―タなどが用いられる。

[Prior art]
In recent years, adhesive tape for packaging, adhesive tape for masking for coating, adhesive tape for medical use, adhesive tape for sanitary products, adhesive tape for fixing paper diapers, adhesive labels, etc. Adhesives such as solvent type, emulsion type, and hot melt type are used for applications that require simple bonding.
[0003]
Rubber-based and (meth) acrylate-based adhesives are known as solvent-type adhesives, but in recent years, the amount of solvent used has been reduced as much as possible from the standpoints of drying efficiency, energy saving, and work environment. It is requested. In response to this demand, if the amount of the solvent used in the production of the polymer is reduced, there is a problem in safety from the viewpoint of controlling the generated heat of polymerization. In addition, in the emulsion type pressure-sensitive adhesive, since polymer particles are dispersed in water, it is necessary to finally remove moisture when forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. For reasons of drying efficiency and energy saving, There was still a problem.

Hot-melt adhesives are superior to solvent-type and emulsion-type adhesives in terms of safety and economy. For example, those based on styrene-isoprene block copolymers are known. ing. However, this type of pressure-sensitive adhesive generally has poor light resistance, and there is a problem of performance deterioration due to aging of products using the same. Therefore, in place of the isoprene-based polymer component that causes the light resistance to decrease, a (meth) acrylate polymer component, which is generally known to have good light resistance, is introduced, and the above problem Attempts have been made to obtain a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

However, random copolymers of (meth) acrylate monomers and styrene monomers can be easily synthesized, and there are examples of using them as the main component of adhesives. I couldn't get anything that was satisfactory. On the other hand, a block copolymer of a styrene polymer component and a (meth) acrylate polymer component can be easily obtained by any polymerization method such as a radical polymerization method, an anionic polymerization method, and a cationic polymerization method. It is not obtained, and no example using this as the main component of the adhesive is found.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In light of such conventional circumstances, the present invention is a block copolymer of a non-elastomeric polymer component made of a styrene polymer and an elastomeric polymer component made of a (meth) acrylate polymer. The polymer can be easily produced in the presence of no solvent or a small amount of solvent without causing safety problems, and it can be used as the main component of an adhesive, making it economical as in the conventional emulsion type. In addition to improving the light resistance based on the introduction of (meth) acrylate polymers without causing problems such as drying efficiency and energy saving for water removal, improved adhesion A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition exhibiting properties, particularly high adhesion to low-polarity polyolefin-based adherends such as polyethylene and polypropylene, its production method, and pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets are provided. It is intended to be.

It has been found that they can be easily produced without causing safety problems such as control of the heat of polymerization. In addition, this block copolymer is used as a main component of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, and further mixed with a specific low molecular weight polymer without causing economic problems as in the conventional emulsion type, ( In addition to the original light resistance improvement effect based on (meth) acrylate polymers, it exhibits improved adhesive properties, especially high adhesion to low polarity polyolefin adherends such as polyethylene and polypropylene.

In the above living radical polymerization method, for example, when the monomer that gives a non-elastomeric polymer having a glass transition temperature of 20 ° C. or higher is a styrene monomer, the styrene monomer is first polymerized, and then ( By adding a (meth) acrylate monomer and continuing the polymerization of the monomer, an AB type block copolymer can be formed. Further, when the above (meth) acrylate monomer is polymerized and then the styrene monomer is added again to continue the polymerization of the monomer, an ABA type block copolymer can be produced. Furthermore, by reversing the order of these polymerizations, it is possible to produce arbitrary block copolymers such as B-A type and B-A-B type. In the case of performing such sequential polymerization, when the subsequent monomer is added, it is usually 60% by weight or more, preferably 70% by weight when the polymerization conversion of the previous monomer exceeds at least 50% by weight. %, More preferably 80% by weight or more, and still more preferably 90% by weight or more.
[0018]
In the above living radical polymerization, the polymerization initiator is usually used in a proportion of 0.01 to 10 mol%, preferably 0.1 to 5 mol%, based on the entire polymerizable monomer. Moreover, the usage-amount of a transition metal is 0.01-3 mol normally with respect to 1 mol of said polymerization initiators as forms, such as a halide, Preferably it is used in the ratio of 0.1-1 mol. Furthermore, the ligand is used in a proportion of usually 1 to 5 mol, preferably 2 to 3 mol, per 1 mol of the above transition metal (form of halide, etc.). When the polymerization initiator and the activator are used in such a ratio, good results are obtained in the reactivity of the living radical polymerization, the molecular weight of the produced polymer, and the like.
[0019]
Such living radical polymerization can proceed without a solvent, or may proceed in the presence of a solvent such as butyl acetate, toluene, or xylene. In the case of using a solvent, in order to prevent a decrease in the polymerization rate, it is preferable to use a small amount so that the solvent concentration after the completion of the polymerization is 50% by weight or less. Even when there is no solvent or a small amount of solvent, there is no particular safety problem with respect to control of the polymerization heat, etc. Rather, good results are obtained in terms of economy and environmental measures by reducing the solvent. The polymerization conditions are a polymerization temperature of 70 to 130 ° C., depending on the final molecular weight and polymerization temperature, from the point of polymerization rate and catalyst deactivation, but the polymerization time is about 1 to 100 hours. That's fine.
[0020]
The block copolymer produced in this way is a non-elastomeric polymer block A having a glass transition temperature of 20 ° C. or higher, which is a styrene polymer in the case of an AB type block copolymer, This has a structure in which an elastomeric polymer block B made of a (meth) acrylate polymer is bonded, and in the case of an ABA type block copolymer, the non-elastomeric polymer block A is It has a structure in which the elastomeric polymer block B and the non-elastomeric polymer block A are sequentially bonded to the starting point. In this way, the block copolymer weight in which the non-elastomeric polymer block A having a glass transition temperature of 20 ° C. or higher and the elastomeric polymer block B composed of a (meth) acrylate polymer are bonded to each other by at least two blocks. All of the polymers show a micro-domain structure as seen in general-purpose styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymers, which are considered to give excellent adhesive properties that satisfy cohesive strength as well as adhesive strength. It is.
[0021]
In such a block copolymer in which at least two blocks are bonded, the ratio of the non-elastomeric polymer block A having a glass transition temperature of 20 ° C. or higher made of a styrene polymer or the like is 5% of the entire block copolymer. It should be -50% by weight, preferably 10-40% by weight, more preferably 15-30% by weight. If the proportion of the non-elastomeric polymer block A is too large, the viscoelastic properties required for the adhesive are lacking, resulting in a polymer that is too hard for the adhesive. Neither is preferable.
[0022]
The molecular weight of such a block copolymer is such that the number average molecular weight is 15,000 to 200,000, preferably 30,000 to 100,000, from the viewpoints of adhesive properties and coating properties. Here, the above number average molecular weight means a value obtained by polystyrene conversion by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) method. The number average molecular weight [Mn] of the block copolymer is given by Mn (calculated value) = [(molecular weight of monomer) × (molar ratio of monomer)] / (molar ratio of polymerization initiator). It is known. Therefore, theoretically, the number average molecular weight of the resulting block copolymer can be intentionally controlled by adjusting the charging ratio of the polymerizable monomer and the polymerization initiator.
[0023]
In the present invention, a block copolymer in which at least two blocks are bonded as the component a is used, the component a is used as a main component, and a low molecular weight polymer of component b described later is mixed with the component a to obtain an adhesive. A composition is prepared. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is subjected to a crosslinking treatment, an appropriate functional group is previously contained in the polymer chain of the block copolymer of component a in order to facilitate the crosslinking treatment. It is good to leave.
[0024]
The type of functional group can be appropriately selected according to the method of crosslinking treatment, but when a polyfunctional isocyanate or the like is used as a crosslinking agent, it has a hydroxyl group as a functional group that reacts with the crosslinking agent. desirable. This block copolymer having a hydroxyl group can be further obtained by using a polymer having a hydroxyl group in the molecule as a polymerization initiator, or by using a monomer having a hydroxyl group in the molecule as one kind of a polymerizable monomer. Can be easily generated by combining them.
[0025]
When a polymerization initiator having a hydroxyl group in the molecule is used, the hydroxyl group can be introduced at the start end of the polymer chain. Such a polymerization initiator is preferably an ester-based or styrene-based derivative containing a halogen at the α-position and having a hydroxyl group in the molecule. Specifically, 2-hydroxyethyl 2-bromo (or chloro) propionate, 4-hydroxybutyl 2-bromo (or chloro) propionate, 2-hydroxyethyl 2-bromo (or chloro) -2-methylpropionate 2-bromo (or chloro) -2-methylpropionic acid 4-hydroxybutyl and the like. The polymerization initiator having a hydroxyl group in the molecule may be used in combination with the polymerization initiator having no hydroxyl group in the molecule. In this case, the total amount of both may be within the above range. .
[0026]
When a monomer having a hydroxyl group in the molecule is used, the hydroxyl group can be introduced at an arbitrary position of the polymer chain according to the addition time of the monomer. Such monomers include the formula (2): CH 2 = CR Three COOR Four (Wherein R Three Is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R Four Is a hydroxyalkyl (meth) acrylate represented by a C2-C6 alkyl group having at least one hydroxyl group. Specifically, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate, 6-hydroxyhexyl (meth) acrylate, etc. Can be mentioned. These monomers having a hydroxyl group in the molecule should be used in an amount of not more than 10% by weight, preferably not more than 5% by weight, based on the total polymerizable monomer, in order to maintain good adhesive properties.
[0027]
When a polymerization initiator having a hydroxyl group in the molecule and a monomer having a hydroxyl group in the molecule are used in combination, good results can be obtained due to the adhesive properties after crosslinking. In particular, the monomer is added at the latter stage of polymerization, that is, when the monomer block is formed at the final stage (for example, the second stage in the AB type and the third stage in the ABA type). When added when the polymerization conversion rate reaches 80% by weight or more, the hydroxyl group of the above monomer can be introduced at the terminating end of the polymer chain, and this is derived from the polymerization initiator introduced at the starting end of the polymer chain. Depending on the hydroxyl group to be produced, two or more hydroxyl groups are introduced into the block copolymer in a telechelic manner. As a result, the block copolymer is more linearly extended by the cross-linking reaction, and a uniform cross-linked polymer with a small variation in the distance between cross-links is obtained. This results in better results by improving the adhesive properties. .
[0028]
The low molecular weight polymer as the component b used in the present invention is mixed with the block copolymer of the component a, thereby causing problems such as a decrease in compatibility and weather resistance as in general tackifying resins. It is intended to improve the adhesive force without causing cohesion and without lowering the cohesive force, and also exhibits high adhesion to low-polarity polyolefin adherends such as polyethylene and polypropylene. This greatly contributes to further improvement of adhesive properties.
[0029]
Such a low molecular weight polymer has a glass transition temperature in the range of 0 to 160 ° C., particularly in the range of 0 to 100 ° C., and a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000, particularly 3,000 to 10,000. It is desirable to be in the range of 000. Here, the number average molecular weight means a value measured in the same manner as in the case of the block copolymer of the component a. When the glass transition temperature and the number average molecular weight deviate from the above ranges, it is difficult to obtain good results for improving the adhesive properties. In particular, when the glass transition temperature is less than 0 ° C., the cohesive force tends to decrease, and when it exceeds 160 ° C., it becomes too hard and the performance as an adhesive deteriorates.
[0030]
Such a low molecular weight polymer has a glass transition temperature of a homopolymer or copolymer as the monomer within the above range, and preferably a low polarity monomer that particularly contributes to improving the adhesion to a low polarity polyolefin-based adherend. It can be obtained by selecting a component and polymerizing it by an appropriate polymerization method. Examples of the low polar monomer component include isobornyl (meth) acrylate, phenoxyethyl (meth) acrylate, styrene, dicyclopentanyl acrylate, methyl (meth) acrylate, and the like. And a combination system of (meth) acrylate monomer which is one of the polymerizable monomers for obtaining the block copolymer of component a.
[0031]
Polymerization of these monomers can be carried out by employing various polymerization methods such as radical polymerization, ionic polymerization (cationic polymerization or anionic polymerization), coordination polymerization, ring-opening polymerization, polycondensation, polyaddition, etc. Desirably, the living radical polymerization method used for obtaining the block copolymer of the component a is employed. According to this living radical polymerization method, it is easy to control a molecular weight and a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution, and when a functional group is included in the polymer molecule, the amount of the functional group And the introduction position can be easily controlled. Such a living radical polymerization method can be carried out in the same manner as in the case of obtaining the block copolymer of component a except that the above components are selectively used as a monomer.
[0032]
The low molecular weight polymer of component b thus obtained is usually used in a proportion of 5 to 70 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 50 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the block copolymer of component a. When the low molecular weight polymer of component b is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of improving the adhesive force, particularly the effect of improving the adhesion to the low-polarity polyolefin-based adherend is reduced, and when it exceeds 70 parts by weight, Decrease in cohesive force occurs, and none of them provides a favorable result for improving the adhesive properties.
[0033]
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention comprises a block copolymer as a component as a main component, and a low molecular weight polymer as a component b mixed in the above proportion. Thus, various additives blended in a general pressure-sensitive adhesive composition such as a filler, an antioxidant, and a pigment can be included. These various additives are used in usual addition amounts without impairing the effects of the present invention.
[0034]
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention can be used as it is without being subjected to a crosslinking treatment. In addition, if necessary, an appropriate cross-linking treatment is performed, and the main chain extension and reticulation of the block copolymer as the component a or the low molecular weight polymer as the component b are performed at the same time. A long cross-linked polymer may be produced, which may be used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive with further increased cohesive strength.
[0035]
The method of the crosslinking treatment is not particularly limited, and various known methods can be adopted. However, as described above, the most effective method is to add a hydroxyl group in advance in the polymer chain of the block copolymer as component a. In this case, if necessary, a hydroxyl group is also contained in the molecule of the low molecular weight polymer as the component b, and a polyfunctional isocyanate is added as a crosslinking agent to the hydroxyl group and isocyanate group. And a method in which these are reacted by heating. Moreover, you may make it react like the above using polyfunctional acid anhydrides, such as a pyromellitic acid anhydride, as crosslinking agents other than the above.
[0036]
Polyfunctional isocyanates include tolylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, p-phenylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate. And adducts of these diisocyanates and polyvalent alcohols such as propane triol, or tricyanur derivatives in which these diisocyanates are trimerized. Further, these polyfunctional isocyanate blocks, specifically, compounds protected with ethyl acetoacetate, methyl ethyl ketoxime, caprolactam, etc., may be used after being activated by heating during the crosslinking treatment.
[0037]
The amount of such polyfunctional isocyanate used is determined according to the number of hydroxyl groups contained in the block copolymer of component a, but is usually 0.05 per 100 parts by weight of the block copolymer. It is good to set it as the usage rate of -5 weight part. If the amount is too large, the adhesive force is lowered, and if the amount is too small, the cohesive force is insufficient. The crosslinking treatment can be usually performed by heating to 50 to 150 ° C. In this case, a crosslinking rate may be accelerated using a catalyst such as a tin compound.
[0038]
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is coated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition on one side or both sides of the support, and if necessary, dried and then cross-linked by the above-described method when the cross-linking is performed. A layer made of a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition usually having a thickness of 10 to 100 μm is formed into a tape-like or sheet-like form. As the above support, paper, plastic laminate paper, cloth, plastic laminate cloth, plastic film, metal foil, foam, etc. are used. In addition, peeled film or paper can also be used. it can. Further, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is applied onto the support, it can be applied in a state where the viscosity is lowered by heating, if necessary, specifically, a hot melt coater, a comma roll. Gravure coater, roll coater, kiss coater, slot die coater, squeeze coater, etc. are used.

[0065]
About each adhesive sheet of said Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-6, the adhesive force and cohesion force (creep) were measured with the following method. These measurement results were as shown in Table 6.
[0066]
<Adhesive strength>
Adhesive sheet is cut to 20mm in width and 100mm in length, and this is used as an adherend to a stainless steel plate and polypropylene plate (PP plate) polished with # 280 sand paper. After reciprocating and crimping, leaving at 23 ° C. for 20 minutes, peeling at 180 ° at a tensile rate of 300 mm / min in an atmosphere of 23 ° C. and 65% RH, measuring the force required for the peeling, and obtaining the adhesive strength.
[0067]
<Cohesion force>
Adhere the adhesive sheet to the phenolic resin plate with a 10 mm wide and 20 mm long adhesive area, leave it at 40 ° C for 20 minutes, and then hang the phenolic resin plate to the free end of the adhesive sheet. A uniform load of 500 g was applied, and the time until the adhesive sheet dropped at 40 ° C. and the shift distance per hour (drop distance) were measured. It is generally known that the smaller the deviation distance, the higher the cohesive force.
[0068]
[0069]
As is clear from Table 6 above, each of the adhesive sheets of Examples 1 to 5 in which an AB type block copolymer is used as a main component and a specific low molecular weight polymer is mixed with this, Compared with the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of Comparative Example 1 in which the low molecular weight polymer is not mixed, the cohesive force is satisfied and a higher adhesive force is obtained, particularly for a low-polar adherend (PP plate). It can be seen that high adhesion is obtained. On the other hand, in both the adhesive sheets of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in which a low molecular weight polymer different from that of the present invention is mixed, the cohesive force is greatly reduced and the adhesive force is also reduced.
[0070]
Similarly, each of the adhesive sheets of Examples 6 to 10 in which an ABA block copolymer is used as a main component and a specific low molecular weight polymer is mixed with the block copolymer is the above low molecular weight. Compared with the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of Comparative Example 4 in which no polymer is mixed, the cohesive force is satisfied and a higher adhesive force is obtained, and particularly high adhesion to a low-polar adherend (PP plate). It is clear that is obtained. On the other hand, in both the adhesive sheets of Comparative Examples 5 and 6 in which a low molecular weight polymer different from that of the present invention was mixed, the cohesive force was greatly reduced and the adhesive force was also reduced.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, at least two blocks of the non-elastomeric polymer block A made of a styrene-based polymer and the like and the elastomeric polymer block B made of a (meth) acrylate-based polymer are used. A bonded block copolymer, for example, an AB type or ABA type block copolymer, is produced by a living radical polymerization method using no solvent or a small amount of a solvent, and this is used as a main component. Furthermore, the composition that mixes a specific low molecular weight polymer improves the light resistance based on the introduction of (meth) acrylate polymers without causing the conventional safety and economic problems. In addition, a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that exhibits improved adhesive properties, particularly high adhesion to low-polarity polyolefin adherends such as polyethylene and polypropylene Preparation and adhesive sheet of the - can provide bets acids.
