The present invention relates to a two-component curable resin composition and a cured product thereof.
Conventionally, epoxy resins are excellent in adhesive force, sealability, high strength, heat resistance, electrical characteristics, and chemical resistance, and thus have been used in various applications such as adhesives, sealing agents, sealants, potting agents, coating agents, and conductive pastes. However, there has been a problem that a cured product of such an epoxy resin exhibits strong mechanical strength, but elongatability is poor.
Therefore, blending a modified silicone resin is performed for the purpose of imparting elongatability to an epoxy resin. As such a technique, JP 2007-099806 A discloses a two-component curable resin composition including liquid A in which an epoxy resin and a curing catalyst of a modified silicone-based polymer are blended, and liquid B in which a modified silicone-based polymer having an alkoxysilyl group at the terminal and an epoxy resin curing agent are blended.
However, the two-component curable resin composition disclosed in JP 2007-099806 A is excellent in adhesive force to metal, but it has not been possible to obtain a cured product having high elongation and high strength.
An object of the present invention is to provide a two-component curable resin composition from which a cured product having high elongation and high strength is obtained while maintaining adhesive force to metal.
The gist of the present invention will be described below. In aspects of the present invention, the present invention overcomes the conventional problems described above.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. Incidentally, in the following Examples, unless otherwise specified, operations were performed at room temperature (25° C.).
<Preparation of Two-Component Curable Resin Composition>
Each component shown below was collected in the proportions (parts by mass) shown in Table 1, and mixed with a mixer at normal temperature for 60 minutes to prepare each of agent A and agent B corresponding to a two-component curable resin composition. Incidentally, details of each component are as follows.
<Component (a) and Comparative Component>
<Component (b)>
<Component (c)>
<Component (d)>
<Component (e)>
Test methods in Examples and Comparative Examples in Table 1 are as follows.
<(1) Shear Adhesive Strength Test for Metal>
Those obtained by mixing 100 g of agent A and 100 g of agent B of each two-component curable resin composition under an environment of 25° C. were applied to a test piece made of SUS304 of a width of 25 mm×a length of 100 mm×a thickness of 1.6 mm, and thereafter, a test piece made of SUS304 of the same size was bonded so that the adhesive surface was 25 mm in width×10 mm in length and fixed with a clip, and thereafter cured at 25° C. and 50% RH for 168 hours to cure the two-component curable resin composition, thereby preparing a test piece.
Both ends of the test piece were fixed, and the strength at the maximum load measured by tension at a tensile speed of 10 mm/min was taken as adhesive force (MPa) to metal. The measurement results are shown in Table 1. Incidentally, in the present invention, from the viewpoint of excellent adhesive force to metal, it is preferable that the adhesive force is 8.0 MPa or more, and it is more preferable that the adhesive force is 9.0 MPa or more.
<(2) Measurement of Tensile Strength of Cured Product>
100 g of agent A and 100 g of agent B of each two-component curable resin composition were mixed in an environment at 25° C. to obtain a resin composition. Next, the thickness of the resin composition was set to 1 mm, and the resin composition was cured by curing under an environment of 25° C. and 50% RH for 168 hours to prepare a sheet-like cured product. The cured product was punched with a No. 3 dumbbell to prepare a test piece. Both ends of the test piece were fixed to a chuck such that the long axis of the test piece and the center of the chuck were aligned. The test piece was pulled at a tensile speed of 500 mm/min, and the maximum load was measured. The strength at the maximum load was defined as “tensile strength (MPa)”. The results are shown in Table 1. Details are in accordance with JIS K 6251 (2010). Incidentally, as sufficient strength that can withstand use as the cured product of the two-component curable resin composition, it is preferable that the tensile strength is 8.0 MPa or more, and it is more preferable that the tensile strength is 9.0 MPa or more.
<(3) Method for Measuring Elongation Percentage of Cured Product>
100 g of agent A and 100 g of agent B of each two-component curable resin composition were mixed in an environment at 25° C. to obtain a resin composition. Next, the thickness of the resin composition was set to 1 mm, and the resin composition was cured by curing under an environment of 25° C. and 50% RH for 168 hours to prepare a sheet-like cured product. The cured product was punched with a No. 3 dumbbell to prepare a test piece, and marked lines at intervals of 20 mm were drawn on the test piece.
The test piece was fixed to a chuck in the same manner as in the measurement of the tensile strength, and pulled at a tensile speed of 500 mm/min until leading to cutting of the test piece. At the time of measurement, the test piece was elongated and the interval between the marked lines was widened, and thus the interval between the marked lines was measured with a caliper until the test piece was cut. The proportion of elongation, the “elongation percentage (%)”, was calculated by dividing the interval (mm) between the marked lines immediately before breaking by the initial marked line interval (20 mm) (elongation percentage (%)=(interval between marked lines immediately before breaking/initial marked line interval)×100). The results are shown in Table 1. Incidentally, as sufficient elongatability that can withstand use as the cured product of the two-component curable resin composition, it is preferable that the elongation percentage is 470% or more, it is more preferable that the elongation percentage is 480% or more, and it is further preferable that the elongation percentage is 500% or more.
From the results of Examples 1 to 5 in Table 1, it could be confirmed that from the two-component curable resin composition of the present invention, a cured product having high elongation and high strength is obtained while maintaining adhesive force to metal.
Comparative Example 1 is a composition not containing component (a-2), but the results were that adhesive force to metal and strength of the cured product were poor. In addition, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 are compositions not containing component (a-1), but the results were that adhesive force to metal, and elongation percentage and strength of the cured product were poor. In addition, Comparative Example 4 is a composition using component a′1 in place of component (a-2), but the results were that adhesive force to metal, and elongation percentage and strength of the cured product were poor. Comparative Example 5 is a composition using component a′2 in place of component (a-2), but the results were that elongation percentage of the cured product was poor.
From the two-component curable resin composition of the present invention, a cured product having high elongation and high strength is obtained while maintaining adhesive force to metal, and thus the two-component curable resin composition is suitably used for various applications such as an adhesive, a sealing agent, a sealant, a potting agent, a coating agent, and a conductive paste. Therefore, it is industrially useful because it is applicable to a wide field.
