1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an antistatic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and particularly to an antistatic component and an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing the antistatic component, which has both excellent adhesion and antistatic properties.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are adhesives that can bind two types of materials together upon the application of a contact pressure. They are widely and conveniently used and have been utilized in display devices to serve as, for example, adhesive layers for polarizing sheets in liquid crystal displays.
Conventional pressure-sensitive adhesives are composed of organic polymeric materials and typically have highly electric insulation properties, such that statistic charges tend to occur upon rubbing or peeling. Accordingly, when a releasing film for protecting a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is removed from the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for binding the polarizing sheet and an LCD panel, static charges occur to the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet due to friction. It may result in pollution to optical members due to dust attachment or result in electrostatic breakage to peripheral circuit members, which, in turn, results in abnormal display due to liquid crystal orientation disorder. For avoiding the aforesaid defects, an antistatic treatment is needed for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
It is common and effective to improve electric conductivity of material for solving problems caused by static charge accumulation. The improvement of the conductivity of material by increasing moisture adsorption is frequently adopted to control the static charge accumulation. Increase of moisture adsorption can be generally accomplished by increasing ambient moisture or using moisture adsorption antistatic agent. Most antistatic agents are used for dissipating accumulated static charges.
Conventional chemical antistatic species may include organic materials, such as, organic amines, amides, polyoxyethylene derivatives, polyols and the like, inorganic materials, such as metal powder, carbon powder, inorganic salts and the like, and even neutral or ionic surfactants. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive is added with metal powder or carbon powder, its optical properties will be influenced due to poor transparency. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive is added with a polyoxyethylene derivative, its adhesion performance will be influenced due to the migration of such surfactant to the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The alkali metal cation, especially lithium cation, is also commonly used as an antistatic agent due to good moisture adsorption. Room temperature molten salt, such as anionic liquid, can also serve as an antistatic agent. However, it should pay attention to the compatibility of the antistatic agent with the polymer in the polymeric composition; otherwise inappropriate antistatic performance will occur or the final products or articles may have significantly improper physical properties or appearance.
Therefore, there is still a need for a novel antistatic agent and a pressure-sensitive adhesive containing such antistatic agent, both having good compatibility and resulting in a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having excellent antistatic properties without influencing the adhesion performance.
One objective of the present invention is to provide an ionic compound which may function as an antistatic agent and a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing such ionic compound as an antistatic component. Such ionic compound is compatible with the pressure-sensitive adhesive component, resulting in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition having excellent adhesion reliability due to its excellent antistatic properties without deteriorating adhesion performance.
The ionic compound according to the present invention is represented by the following chemical formula (I):
wherein, R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R1, R2, and R3 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 1 to 16.
In another aspect of the present invention, an oligomer is provided, which comprises a product produced from oligomerization of the aforesaid ionic compound.
In still another aspect of the present invention, a copolymer is provided, which comprises a product produced from copolymerization of comonomers including the aforesaid ionic compound and at least an acryloyl-reactive comonomer.
In further another aspect of the present invention, a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is provided, which comprises a first component selected from the group consisting of the aforesaid ionic compound, the aforesaid oligomer, the aforesaid copolymer and a combination thereof and a second component comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention contains a novel ionic compound, an oligomer or a copolymer thereof. The novel ionic compound is essentially composed of ((meth)acryloyloxy)alkyl ammonium cation and (CF3SO2)2N− anion, allowing the obtained pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet to have excellent antistatic properties without adhesion deterioration. Accordingly, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be suitably used in plastic products which tend to produce static charges and articles for which static charges are not desired, for example, electronic products, such as polarizing sheets.
These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.
The ionic compound according to the present invention which may serve as an antistatic component may be represented by the following chemical formula (I):
wherein, R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R1, R2 and R3 are each independently an alkyl group. In consideration of stereo-hindrance and feasibility of reaction, it is preferred that R1, R2 and R3 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 6, and more preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms. “n” is an integer of 1 to 16, preferably 1 to 8, and more preferably 1 to 6. It is more preferred that the carbon chain, —(CH)n—, is longer than that of R1, R2 and R3. When n is 2 or more, the effect is more improved.
Such ionic compound is essentially composed of ((meth)acryloyloxy)alkyl ammonium cation and (CF3SO2)2N− anion. “(meth)acryl” is referred to as “acryl” or “methacryl”. Because the cation portion of the ionic compound has a (meth)acryl moiety, the ionic compound is well compatible with an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive component.
In another aspect of the present invention, the oligomer formed from the aforesaid ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I) can also serve as a good antistatic component. Such oligomer is obtained by polymerization of the aforesaid ionic compound functioning as the monomer. The polymerization site is the double bond on the acrylic group. The type of polymerization is not limited to a particular one. Solution polymerization, bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization are photo-polymerization are preferred, and solution polymerization is more preferred. The polymerization may be initiated by an initiator. The initiators usable for the polymerization may include azo type initiators, such as azobisisobutyronitrile and azobiscyclohexanenitrile, and peroxides, such as benzoyl peroxide and acetyl peroxide. These initiators may be used in combination. The polymerization may be carried out using the initiator at 50 to 100° C.
In another aspect of the present invention, the polymerization is carried out as the above, but the monomer is not limited to the ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I) and can be others. The ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I) may be used as a comonomer with an acryloyl-reactive comonomer to perform a co-polymerization to obtain a copolymer. The acryloyl-reactive comonomers may include for example (meth)acrylic monomer, such as methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate; and vinyl monomer, such as vinyl acetate, styrene and vinyl pyrrolidone. They can be used in combination. The comonomers are mixed and copolymerized, resulting in a copolymer also having antistatic properties and being suitably used in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the present invention includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer as a component and the ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I), an oligomer thereof, a copolymer thereof or a combination thereof as another component. The amounts of these two components are not particularly limited. In consideration of the adhesion and the antistatic properties of the obtained pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, the ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I) (as calculated by the ionic compound when the oligomer or copolymer are utilized) is preferably used in an amount of about 0.01 to 20% by weight, based on a total weight of these two components as 100% by weight. The oligomer suitably utilized in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may have a molecular weight of for example 1,000 to 100,000, and preferably 5,000 to 50,000, or the number of the ionic compound as the repeating unit may be about 10 to about 120. In consideration of the hydrophilicity of the monomer, n of the ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I) is preferably 1 to 8, and more preferably 1 to 6. When n is 2 or more, the antistatic effect is more improved.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the present invention may further include a solvent or solvents. The solvents may include for example a typical organic solvent, such as acetone, toluene, ethyl acetate and the like, in which the acrylate may be dissolved. The solvent or solvents may be used in an amount of about 30 to 85% by weight, and preferably about 50 to 80% by weight, of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention may be formed by mixing a conventional pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer or the solution thereof with the ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I) or the oligomer or the copolymer of the ionic compound represented by the chemical formula (I).
The pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer is preferably a (meth)acryl-based polymer, which is well compatible with the ionic compound of the present invention and the resulting adhesive can maintain sufficient adhesion performance. Such (meth)acryl-based polymer preferably contains one or more alkyl (meth)acrylates having the alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms as a main component. Alkyl (meth)acrylates having the alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms may include for example methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, s-butyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, iso-butyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, iso-octyl (meth)acrylate, n-nonyl (meth)acrylate, iso-nonyl (meth)acrylate, n-decyl (meth)acrylate, iso-decyl (meth)acrylate, n-dodecyl (meth)acrylate, n-tridecyl (meth)acrylate, n-tetradecyl (meth)acrylate and the like.
Among these, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, s-butyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, iso-butyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, iso-octyl (meth)acrylate, n-nonyl (meth)acrylate, iso-nonyl (meth)acrylate, n-decyl (meth)acrylate, iso-decyl (meth)acrylate and the like are preferably used in the present invention.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer may be obtained through polymerization of monomers based on one or more types of alky (meth)acrylate having the alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms, which may be preferably contented in a total amount of 50-99.9% by weight, more preferably 60-99% by weight, and most preferably 80-98% by weight, based on a total amount of all monomers. Other monomers with functional groups may include for example crosslinkable acrylic monomers, such as (meth)acrylic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, epoxypropyl (meth)acrylate and the like. Interaction with the ionic compound can be better controlled and the pressure-sensitive adhesive with better adhesion performance can be obtained by using monomers based on one or more types of alky (meth)acrylate having the alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms.
The type of polymerization for obtaining (meth)acryl polymer is not limited to a particular one. Solution polymerization, bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization and photo-polymerization are preferred, and solution polymerization is more preferred. The polymerization may be initiated by an initiator. The initiators usable may include azo type initiators, such as azobisisobutyronitrile and azobiscyclohexanenitrile, and peroxides, such as benzoyl peroxide and acetyl peroxide. These initiators may be used in combination. The polymerization may be carried out at 50 to 100° C.
The weight average molecular weight of the aforesaid (meth) acryl-based polymer used in the present invention is preferably 100,000 to 5,000,000, more preferably 200,000 to 4,000,000, and most preferably 300,000 to 3,000,000. If it is less than 100,000, a residual paste (adhesive residue) tends to form due to reduced cohesion force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. If it is greater than 5,000,000, the polymer tends to have a reduced flowability, the polarizing sheet tends to have an insufficient wettability, and peeling tends to occur between the polarizing sheet and the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition layer of the surface protection film. The weight average molecular weight is determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
In addition, the aforesaid (meth)acryl-based polymer generally used has a glass transition point (Tg) not greater than 25° C., and it is preferably −90° C. to 0° C., and more preferably −80° C. to −10° C. If it is greater than 0° C., the polymer tends to have a reduced flowability, the polarizing sheet tends to have an insufficient wettability, and peeling tends to occur between the polarizing sheet and the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition layer of the surface protection film. Herein, the Tg of the (meth) acryl-based polymer may be adjusted to fall within the aforesaid range by properly modifying the monomers and the component ratios of the composition.
A specific example of the (meth)acryl-based polymer is a product from copolymerization of butyl acrylate (BA), acrylic acid (AA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as comonomers, each used in an amount of 80 to 99% by weigh for BA, 0.1 to 15% by weight for AA, and 0.1 to 5% by weight for HEMA, based on the copolymerized products as 100% by weight.
In the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention, the (meth) acryl-based polymer can be properly crosslinked for obtaining better heat-resistant pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets. Conventional crosslinking agents may be used for the crosslinking reaction. For example, a compound, such as isocyanate compound, epoxy compound, melamine-based resin or azacyclopropane compound, having a group reactive to carboxyl or hydroxyl group as crosslinking site in the (meth)acryl-based polymer can be added to the reaction. Among these, isocyanate compound and epoxy compound are preferred for obtaining proper cohesion force. These compounds can be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof.
The method of forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a film is not particularly limited. For example, it may be directly coated on a carrier film using a bar coater or a doctor blade, etc. As one of examples, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be formed on a carrier layer through coating the carrier layer with the aforesaid pressure-sensitive adhesive composition and then drying it to remove the solvent.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets of the present invention may be in a sheet or tape shape formed by coating one or both sides of various carrier layers with the aforesaid pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The carrier layers may include a plastic film, such as a polyester film, or a porous material such as paper and unwoven fiber, with a thickness of 3 to 100 μm, and preferably 5 to 50 μm. Particularly, if a surface protection film is desired, a plastic substrate is preferably used as the carrier layer.
