Heat-latent, cationic polymerization initiator and resin compositions containing the same

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a novel class of cationic polymerization initiators having a heat-latency, i.e. which are normally inactive but are capable of initiating a cationic polymerization reaction only at an elevated temperature. The invention also relates to heat-curable resin compositions containing these initiators which are useful for the preparation of coating, adhesive, printing ink and other compositions.
A variety of cationic polymerization initiators are known including Friedel-Crafts catalysts such as aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride-ether complex, photo-degradable onion salts (S, Se, Te), diallyl iodonium salts and the like. These known initiators are generally not selective with respect to the reactioin temperature. Therefore, an epoxy resin containing these initiators begins to cure even at room temperature.
Japanese Laid Open Patent Application (Kokai) Nos. 37003/83 and 37004/83 disclose another type of cationic polymerization initiators. They are aliphatic or aromatic sulfonium salts capable of generating carbonium cations upon heating to an elevated temperature. Initiators of this type are known as "heat-latent cationic polymerization initiator". Cation-polymerizable resins such as epoxy resins containing the heat-latent initiator are, therefore, normally inactive but capable of curing at a temperature above the cleaving temperature of the initiator. This provides a heat-curable, one-component epoxy resin composion having a greater storage-stability and a longer pot life.
The carbonium cations produced by the thermal cleavage of the heat-latent initiator may react with water or a hydroxy group-containing compound to generate protons which, in turn, catalyze various cross-linking reactions. Accordingly, the heat-latent cationic initiator may find uses in catalyzing the curing reaction of, for example, polyester and acrylic resins with melamine resins. This also provides systems having a greater storage stability.
The heat latent cationic initiator thus has a number of advantages over conventional cationic initiators or proton-donating catalysts. Unfortunately, the prior art sulfonium type initiators have a serious problem in that their sulfur-containing decomposition products are malodorous. This limits their uses in practice.
Accordingly, a strong need exists for a heat latent cationic polymerization initiator which obviates the above defects.

DETAILED DISCUSSION
1. Heat-Latent Cationic Initiator
The compound of the formula I: ##STR4## may be synthesized by reacting a correspondining .alpha.-substituted benzyl halide of the formula IV: ##STR5## where Y is halogen, with a tertiary amine of the formula V: ##STR6## and then reacting the resulting ammonium halide with an alkali metal salt of the complex anion MXn.sup.- to metathetically produce the compound I.
Similarly, the compound of the formula II: ##STR7## may be synthesized by reacting the .alpha.-substituted benzyl halide (IV) with a pyridine of the formula (VI): and then reacting the resulting pyridinium halide with an alkali metal salt of the complex anion MXn.sup.-.
The compounds of the formula I or II are thermally cleaved at an elevated temperature to produce a benzyl cation of the formula: ##STR8## which, in turn, initiates a cationic polymerization chain reaction. However, these compounds are substantially inactive at a temperature below their cleaving points. Therefore, they find a number of valuable uses such as a hardener of one-component epoxy resins.
The compound of the formula III: ##STR9## may be synthesized by reacting an aminoalkanol of the formula (VII): ##STR10## with an aldehyde or ketone of the formula: R.sub.11 COR.sub.12 to produce a compound of the formula (VIII): ##STR11## quaternizing the compound VIII with a halide of the formula R.sub.14 -hal to produce an ammonium halide of the formula IX: ##STR12## and then exchanging the halide anion of the ammonium halide IX with the complex anion MXn.sup.-.
The compound of the formula III is thermally decomposed to release an acid HMXn capable of initiating the cation polymerization reaction according to the following reaction sheme: ##STR13##
Therefore, the compound III is useful as a heat-latent cation polymerization initiator as well.
2. Heat-Curable Resin Compositions
I. Cation-polymerizable systems
Typical examples of cation-polymerizable monomers are those having a cation-polymerizable functional group such as epoxide, cyclic imine, cyclic ether, cyclic ester, and other groups.
For use as a vehicle for coating compositions, adhesives, printing inks and the like, the resin composition may comprise a cation-polymerizable oligomer and/or polymer including the same structure as the above cation-polymerizable monomer in their molecules. The resin composition may be of the solventless type containing the above-mentioned cation-polymerizable monomer and/or a low molecular weight-polyol as a reactive diluent, or it may contain a conventional organic solvent for adjusting its viscosity to a suitable range for application.
Typical examples of cation-polymerizable resins are epoxy resins including bisphenol A-, bisphenol S- and bisphenol F epoxy resins; novolac type epoxy resins; diglycidyl ethers of glycols such as butanediol, hexanediol and hydrogenated bisphenol A; diglycidyl ethers of polyoxyalkylene glycols such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and bisphenol A-alkylene oxide adducts; diglycidyl esters of dicarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid and adipic acid; and glycidyl ether-esters of hydroxycaboxylic acids such as p- and m-hydroxybenzoic acids.
Also included in examples of preferred cation-polymerizable resins are epoxide group-containing acrylic resins. These acrylic resins are produced by polymerizing a monomer mixture of glycidyl (methy)acrylate with a (meth)acrylic acid ester such as methyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate optionally containing other comonomers such as styrene or its derivatives, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate and the like.
Examples of usable polyols include low molecular weight-polyols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerine, trimethylolpropane and pentaerythritol. It should be noted that these low molecular weight-polyols produce H.sup.+ through a chain transfer reaction causing unwanted reactions of cation-polymerizable functional groups. This often results in a cured resin having a low average molecure weight and thus poor mechanical properties. Accordingly, it is more preferable to use an oligomer polyol such as polyether polyols, polycaprolactone polyol, polyester polyols and acryl polyols.
These polyols may be added to the resin composition in such an amount that their hydroxy function is 1 to 100 mole percent relative to the cation-polymerizable functional group. If the amount of polyol is too low, it is difficult to adjust the workability of the resulting composition in a suitable range and the composition is not high solids. Conversely, excessive use of polyls adversely affects the curability of the entire composition.
The composition of this invention contains from 0.01 to 10%, preferably from 0.05 to 5% by weight of the resin solid content of the initiator compound of the formula I, II or III. If the amount of the initiator is deficient, the curability of the composition is not satisfactory. Conversely, excessive use of the initiator adversely affects the physical properties of cured composition, such as dark appearance and decreased water resistance.
The composition may contain conventional additives such as pigments, fillers and the like depending upon its intended use.
The resulting composition may be provided as the high solids or solventless type and has an increased storage stability at room temperature although curable at a temperature above the cleaving point of the initiator.
II. Systems containing melamine resins
Melamine resin-containing coating compositions or enamels are well-known in the art.
These compositions usually contain a proton-donor such as p-toluenesulfonic acid for catalyzing the cross-linking reaction with the melamine resin. Since the addition of a free acid to the composition tends to cause gelling of the entire composition upon storage, the catalyst is blocked partially or totally in its acid catalyst is blocked partially or volatile at the curing temperature of the composition. However, the curability of this type of compositions is generally not compatible with the storage stability thereof.
The use of the cationic polymerization initiator of the present invention overcomes this problem. The initiator is substantially inactive until a critical temperature is reached. However, a proton is generated from the initiator by heating the initiator in the presence of water or a hydroxy group-containing compound contained in the composition. This enables for the curability and storage stability of the composition to be compatible.
Various film-forming resins are used in the coating industry in combination with a melamine resin. Examples thereof include polyester resins, polylactone resins, epoxy resins, acrylic resins and the like.
Polyester resins are prepared by the condensation reacation of a polycarboxylic acid or its anhydride with a polyhydric alcohol. Any polyester resin havinig a hydroxy function at the terminal and/or middle of the polyester chain may be cross-linked with the melamine resin.
Hydroxy terminated polyactone resins may also be cross-linked with the melamine resin.
Epoxy resins having an epoxide function and a hydroxy function at the terminal and the middle of the molecule respectively such as bisphenol epoxy resins and novolac epoxy resins may be used in combination with the melamine resin.
Acrylic resins containing a plurality of hydroxy functions may be prepared by copolymerizing a hydroxy group-containing acrylic monomer such as 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate with one or more comonomers such as alkyl (meth)acrylates, e.g. methyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate; styrene or its derivatives; (meth)acrylonitrile; vinyl acetate and the like.
Melamine resins are prepared by reacting a triazine compound such as melamine, acetoquanamine or benzoguanamine with formaldehyde, and optionally etherifying the methylol function of the resulting condensate partially or totally with a lower alkanol such as methanol or butanol.
Thermosetting resin compositions comprising a hydroxy group-containing, film-forming resin and a melamine resin are well-known in the coating industry. Except for the use of the above-discussed cationic polymerization initiator, the composition of the present invention may be otherwise identical to these known compositions.
The weight ratio of the hydroxy group-containing, film-forming resin to the melamine resin ranges between 50:50 to 95:5 on the solid content basis.
The composition of this invention contains from 0.01 to 10%, preferably from 0.05 to 5% by weight of the resin solid content of the initiator of the formula I, II or III. If the amount of the initiator is deficient, the curability of the composition is not satisfactory. Conversely, excessive use of the initiator adversely affects the physical properties of cured composition such as dark appearance and decreased water resistance.
The composition may contain convenational additives such as pigments, fillers and the like depending upon its intended use.
III. Systems utilizing the self-condensation or co-condensation reaction of alkoxysilyl groups
Japanese Patent Publication No. 33512/88 discloses a curable resin composition containing a vinyl polymer having a plurality of alkoxysilyl group-containing side chains, a polyhydroxy compound and a curing catalyst. It is believed that the composition cures through a self-condensation reaction between two alkoxysilyl groups:
ROSi--+--SiOR+H.sub.2 O.fwdarw.--Si--O--Si--+2ROH
as well as a co-condensation reaction of an alkoxysilyl group and a hydroxy group:
ROSi--+HO--C--.fwdarw.--Si--O--C--+ROH
A variety of catalysts are disclosed as being capable of catalyzing the above reactions. These include amines such as butylamine, dibutylamine, t-butylamine, ethylenediamine and the like; organic metal compounds such as tetraisopropyl titanate, tetrabutyl titanate, tin octate, lead octate, zinc octate, calcium octate, dibutyltin diacetate, dibutyltin dioctate, dibutyltin dilaurate and the like; and acid catalysts such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, trichloroacetic acid and the like. The composition containing these catalysts is curable at room temperature. As is self-explanatory from this fact, the composition cannot be stored for a long period of time while containing the curing catalyst. When long term storage is desired, it is necessary to store the catalyst and the resin component separately and mix the two components immediately prior to use. This is inconvenient in practice and requires to use within a pot life. Other approach includes to reduce the amount of catalyst and blocking the amine or acid catalyst with a suitable acid or amine. Unfortunately they all have been proven unsatisfacatory in terms of film properties, storage stabilities and the like.
Similar to the melamine resin-containing composition, the use of the cationic polymerization initiator of the present invention in the above-mentioned system overcomes these problems.
Examples of film-forming resins containing a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups include the following:
(1) Acrylic resins containing alkoxysilyl groups
A monomer having both an ethylenically unsaturated function and an alkoxysilyl function in the molecule forms a homopolymer or copolymer containing a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups by itself or with acrylic and/or other comonomers.
A first class of such monomers are alkoxysilylalkyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid of the formula: ##STR14## wherein R is H or CH.sub.3, R' and R" are each alkyl, x is an integer, and y is 0, 1 or 2.
Specific examples of these monomers include
.gamma.-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane,
.gamma.-methacryloyloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane,
.gamma.-methacryloyloxypropyldimethylmethoxysilane,

.gamma.-methacryloyloxypropyldimethylpropoxysilane,
.gamma.-methacryloyloxypropyltributoxysilane,
.gamma.-methacryloyloxypropylmethyldibutoxysilane, and
.gamma.-methacryloyloxypropyldimethylbutoxysilane.
A second class of said monomers are adducts of (meth)acrylic acid with an epoxy group-containing alkoxysilane such as
.beta.-glycidylpropyltrimethoxysilane or
.beta.-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane.
Another class of alkoxysilyl group-containing monomers are adducts of a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate such as hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate or 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate with an isocyanotoalkylalkoxysilane of the formula:
OCN(CH.sub.2).sub.x Si(R').sub.y (QR").sub.3-y
such as
.gamma.-isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane,
.gamma.-isocyanatopropylmethylmethoxysilane,
.gamma.-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane or
.gamma.-isocyanatopropylmethyldiethoxysilane.
A further class of alkoxysilyl group-containing monmers are adducts of glycidyl (meth)acrylate with an aminoalkylalkoxysilane such as
.gamma.-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane,
.gamma.-aminopropyltriethoxysilane,
3-(2-aminoethylamino)propylmethyldimethoxysilane,
3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane,
.gamma.-aminopropyldimethylmethoxysilane or
.gamma.-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane.
Acrylic and/or other comonomers which may be copolymerized with the alkoxysilyl group-containing monomer include alkyl (meth)acrylates, (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylonitrile, (meth)arylamide, styrene, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate and the like.
(2) Silicon-modified epoxy resins
The above-mentioned aminoalkylalkoxysilanes used for preparing an adduct with glycidyl (meth)acrylate may be reacted with an epoxy resin to produce a modified epoxy resin having a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups.
(3) Silicon-modified polyester resins
Polyester resins having a plurality of free carboxyl groups may be modified with the above-mentioned epoxy group-containing alkoxysilane to give silicon-modified polyester resins.
Polyesters having a plurality of hydroxy groups may be reacted with the above-mentioned isocyanatoalkylalkoxysilane to give silicone-modified polyester resins.
Typical examples of hydroxy group-containing resins include polyester resins, polyactone resins, epoxy resins and acrylic resins.
Polyester resins are prepared by the condensation reaction of a polycarboxylic acid or its anhydride with a polyhydric alcohol. Any polyester resin having a hydroxy function at the terminal and/or middle of the polyester chain may be employed.
Hydroxy terminated polyactone resins may also be employed.
Epoxy resins having an epoxide function and a hydroxy function at the terminal an the middle of the molecule respectively, such as bisphenol epoxy resins and novolac epoxy resins may be employed.
Acrylic resins containing a plurality of hydroxy functions may be prepared by copolymerizing a hydroxy group-containing acrylic monomer such as 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate with one or more comonomers such as alky (meth)acrylates, e.g. methyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, styrene or its derivatives; (meth)acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate and the like.
Systems utilizing the self-condensation reaction of alkoxysilyl groups contain the above-mentioned silicon-containing resin and from 0.01 to 10%, preferably from 0.05 to 5% by weight of the resin solid content of the compound I, II or III.
Systems utilizing the co-condensation of alkoxysilyl group with hydroxy group contain the above-mentioned silicon-containing resin, an amount of hydroxy group-containing resin at a molar ratio of the hydroxy group per alkoxysilyl group of 0.1 to 10, and from 0.01 to 10%, preferably from 0.05 to 5% by weight of the resin solid content of the compound I, II or III.
If the amount of compound I, II or III is deficient, the curability of the composition is not satisfactory. Conversely, excessive addition of the compound I, II or III adversely affets the physical properties of cured composition such as dark appearance and decreased water resistance.
The composition may contain conventional additives such as fillers, pigments and the like depending upon its intended use.
The resulting composition has an increased storage stability at room temperature but curable at a temperature above the cleaving point of the compound I, II or III. The curing time may vary with the curing temperature but usually within one hour.
The following examples are intended to further illustrate the present invention without limiting thereto. All parts and percents therein are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
