The present invention relates to a curable composition, a two-liquid type curable composition set, and a method for manufacturing an adhered product.
Curable compositions are widely used for applications such as adhesives, coating agents, sealants, and excipients. Polymerization reactions using a curable composition are classified into three types, i.e., radical polymerization, cationic polymerization, and anionic polymerization depending on active species generated during polymerization.

(Curable Composition)
A curable composition of the present invention contains: a methylene malonate compound; a 2-cyanoacrylate compound; and a Lewis acidic compound.
A conventional curable composition using a 2-cyanoacrylate compound was excellent in curing rate, but a cured product thereof had insufficient heat resistance.
In addition, for example, for a conventional curable composition containing a methylene malonate compound, only a method of curing the composition by using a polymerization initiator, or a method of mixing a basic compound immediately before curing, as in the invention described in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, was known.
As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that a curable composition containing a methylene malonate compound, a 2-cyanoacrylate compound, and a Lewis acidic compound is excellent in heat resistance of a resulting cured product.
Although the detailed reaction mechanism is unknown, it is presumed that, the Lewis acidic compound is coordinated to an oxygen atom of one or two carbonyl groups in the methylene malonate compound, so that anionic polymerization activity of the methylene malonate compound is improved, that anionic polymerization can also be performed by moisture content in the air, that the reaction rate becomes close to the reaction rate of the 2-cyanoacrylate compound, and thus that copolymerization occurs, leading to improvement in heat resistance of a resulting cured product.
In particular, it was not known at all that the methylene malonate compound is anionically polymerized by the moisture content in the air, and this has been found for the first time.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

<Set Time Measurement>
The obtained mixture (10 μL) was added dropwise to a test piece (prism having a bottom surface of 12.7 cm×12.7 cm) made of a material as shown in Table 1, and another test piece having the same shape and the same material was bonded thereto. After bonding, the time until an object having a mass of 2.586 kg could be lifted with the adhesive test piece was recorded as a set time. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1. The shorter the set time is, the better the curing rate is.
