Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide: a resin composition which yields a hardened product having both processability/formability and thermal resistance; and an electrical device using the hardened product of the resin composition. A resin composition containing (A) polyarylene type thermoplastic polymer shown by Expression 1 and (B) chemical compound having at least two substituent groups capable of generating cationic species.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates: to a thermosetting resin composition excellent in thermal resistance; and in particular to a thermosetting resin composition suitable for the electrical insulation and fixation of an electrical device such as a motor.


BACKGROUND ART

An electrical coil in a rotating machine such as a motor is processed with a resin composition with the aim of electrical insulation, heat dissipation during operation, the absorption of a beat note caused by electrical vibration, the fixation of a constituent material, and others. As resin compositions capable of exhibiting such functions: polyetherimide, polyether ether ketone, polyphenylene sulfide, etc. are mostly used as thermoplastic resin materials; and unsaturated polyester resin, epoxy resin, etc. are mostly used as thermosetting resin materials.


In order to cope with the downsizing and higher output of an electrical device in recent years, a better thermal resistance is desired. A resin of a higher thermal resistance class therefore is desired also as a resin used for the fixation layer and insulation layer of a rotor coil, a bobbin, or the like in an electrical device.


A thermosetting resin has been used primarily for such applications heretofore but a thermoplastic resin begins to be used also from the viewpoint of recyclability and formability in recent years.


In the case of a conventional thermoplastic resin however, it is necessary to raise a process temperature in order to increase thermal resistance and the requirement for a higher thermal resistance is hardly satisfied.


In order to solve the problem, methods of improving mechanical properties and thermal resistance by applying electron beam irradiation (Patent Literature 1) and the grafting of a crosslinkable group (Patent Literature 2) to a thermoplastic resin and thus introducing a crosslinking structure are known. In the case of a thermoplastic resin having a polyarylene structure excellent in thermal resistance however, such methods can hardly be applicable.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem

Thermal resistance described here means weight reduction caused by melting temperature and long term deterioration. In general the thermal resistance of a thermoplastic resin depends on the melting point of the resin. As a means for improving the thermal resistance of a thermoplastic resin is to introduce a crosslinking structure by electron beam irradiation or the grafting of a crosslinkable group. The means however is hardly applicable in the case of a thermoplastic resin having a polyarylene structure.


An object of the present invention is to provide: the introduction of a crosslinking structure to a thermoplastic resin having a polyarylene structure; a resin composition being resultantly obtained and showing a high thermal resistance; and an electrical device using the resin composition.


Solution to Problem

The present inventors, as a result of earnest studies for solving the problems, have found that a resin composition containing (A) polyarylene type thermoplastic polymer shown by the following expression 1 and (B) chemical compound having at least two substituent groups capable of generating cationic species can yield a hardened product excellent in thermal resistance while maintaining the characteristics of the (A) component.

are named but the polyarylene type thermoplastic polymer is not limited to those derivatives. Further, from the viewpoint of melting temperature, n representing the polymerization degree is preferably set so that the molecular weight may be in the range of 1,000 to 5,000 in terms of styrene-equivalent molecular weight. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of thermal resistance, a resin having a glass-transition temperature of not lower than 90° C. is desirable.


Among those materials, from the viewpoint of securing both meltability and thermal resistance, a polyphenylene ether derivative and a polyphenylene sulfide derivative are desirable.

As (B) chemical compound having at least two substituent groups capable of generating cationic species, there is the chemical compound group shown by the expression 2.


Here, as each of the substituent groups Y1 and Y2, a halogen group such as a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodine atom, an acyloxy group such as an acetoxy group or a trifluoroacetoxy group, or a sulfonyloxy group such as a p-toluenesulfonyloxy group, methanesulfonyloxy group, or a trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy group is named. Each of R9 to R12 is, independently from each other, a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 9.


As Z, a bivalent aromatic group such as a phenylene group or a naphthylene group or an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group, each of which has a carbon number of 1 to 9, is named. Concretely, α,α′-dichloroxylene, α,α′-dibromoxylene, α,α′-diiodoxylene, 1,4-bis(chloromethyl)naphthalene, 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene, 4,4′-bis(chloromethyl)biphenyl, 4,4′-bis(bromomethyl)biphenyl, 4,4′-bis(iodomethyl)biphenyl, α,α′-diacetoxyxylene, α,α′-dimethanesulfonyloxyxylene, 4,4′-bis(trifluoroacetoxymethyl)biphenyl, or 4,4′-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxymethyl)biphenyl is named but Z is not limited to those materials.

When the ratio of the (B) component is small, crosslinking is insufficient, thermal resistance is inferior, and thus the case is undesirable. In contrast, when the ratio of the (B) component is large, crosslinking advances during forming, formability deteriorates conspicuously, and thus the case is undesirable.

The material shown by the expression 4 is a reactant obtained from a chemical compound shown by the expression 1 and a chemical compound shown by the expression 2.

A plurality of coils around which a coated conductive wire is wound are formed by using a plurality of slots formed in the axial direction in either or both of the stator magnetic core and the rotator magnetic core. The stator is obtained by winding a conductive wire insulatively coated with a resin composition according to the present invention in the slots of the stator.


The stator and the rotator are assembled by an ordinary method and thus a rotating electrical machine using the stator coil comprising the conductive wire insulatively coated with the composition is obtained. The reference numeral 10 represents a terminal.

For example, the use of both the chemical compounds shown by the expressions 2 and 3 in combination falls within the scope of the present invention and to form a composite insulating material by combining a thermosetting resin composition according to the present invention with another insulating material also falls within the scope of the present invention.
