Description

POLYSILOXANE BLOCK COPOLYMER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The application claims priority to and all advantages of U.S. Provisional Patent Application
No. 62/980,358 filed on 23 February 2020, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to a polysiloxane block copolymer comprising a polysiloxane block and a sulfur atom-containing organo block, and a method for producing the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
[0003] Thiol (HS-) group-containing organo compounds such as pentaerythritol tetrakis(3- mercaptobutyrate) and trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate), are frequently used for crosslinking agents for ene-thiol reaction type curable silicone compositions.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a photocurable silicone composition comprising: an alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane; a thiol group-containing organo compound such as trimethylolpropane tris(3-thiopropionate), pentaerythritol tetrakis(3- thiopropionate), and trihydroxyethyl triisocyanuric acid tris(3-thiopropionate); and a photoinitiator.
[0005] However, such a photocurable silicone composition has a problem that the thiol group- containing organo compound has poor compatibility to the organopolysiloxane, so that the photocurable silicone composition exhibits poor transparency.
[0006] Therefore, it is desired to develop a crosslinking agent for the ene-thiol reaction type curable silicone composition, which exhibits good compatibility to the organopolysiloxane in the composition. [Patent Literature]

[0023] The terms “polysiloxane block copolymer” used herein are designed to mean reaction products of a polysiloxane and an organo compound which does not have a siloxane unit, or compositions essentially consisting of the reaction products. The polysiloxane block copolymer is generally formed having linear and/or three-dimensional units, typically formed via ene-thiol reactions.
<Polysiloxane block copolymer>
[0024] The polysiloxane block copolymer of the present invention comprises: (i) a polysiloxane block and (ii) an organo block. The polysiloxane block (i) is represented by the general formula:
(R1 2SiO)n.
[0025] In the formula, each R1 is independently a C-| _-| 2 monovalent hydrocarbon group free of an aliphatic unsaturated bond. Examples of the monovalent hydrocarbon groups for R1 include
Figure imgf000011_0001
groups such as methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, butyl groups, pentyl groups, hexyl groups, heptyl groups, octyl groups, nonyl groups, decyl groups, undecyl groups, and dodecyl groups; Cg_12 aryl groups such as phenyl groups, tolyl groups, xylyl groups, and naphthyl groups; Cy_-| 2 aralkyl groups such as benzyl groups, and phenethyl groups; and groups in which some or all of the hydrogen atoms bonded in these groups are substituted with halogen atoms, such as a chlorine atom, a fluorine atom, and a bromine atom.
[0026] In the formula, "n" is a positive number of at least about 5, preferably at least about 10. This is because, when "n" is greater than or equal to the lower limit described above, compatibility of the polysiloxane block copolymer to organopolysiloxanes can increase.
[0027] The polysiloxane block (i) is not limited, but is preferably at least one selected from a group consisting of a polysiloxane block represented by the following formula:
[(CH3)2SiO]n a polysiloxane block represented by the following formula:
[(C6H5)2SiO]n a polysiloxane block represented by the following formula:
[(CH3)2SiO]n1 [(C6H5)2SiO]n2 and a polysiloxane represented by the following formula:
[(CH3)(C6H5)SIO]n wherein each "n" is a positive number of at least 5; and each "n1" and "n2" is a positive number, provided that "n1+n2" is a positive number of at least about 5.
[0028] The polysiloxane block (i) essentially comprises the polysiloxane block represented by the general formula: (R1 2SiO)n, but it may comprise other siloxane units such as R13SiO-|/2, R1Si03/2, and SiC>4/2.
[0029] The organo block (ii) contains at least three sulfur atoms and is free of silicon (Si) atom in a chemical structure thereof. The organo block (ii) is not limited, but it is preferably at least one selected form a group consisting of an organo block represented by the following formula:

an organo block represented by the following formula:
Figure imgf000013_0001

an organo block represented by the following formula:

an organo block represented by the following formula:
Figure imgf000014_0002
and an organo block represented by the following formula:
Figure imgf000014_0003
[0030] The polysiloxane block (i) is bonded to the organo block (ii) via a linkage represented by the general formula: (Si)-R2-(S). [0031] In the formula, Si is an atom in a chemical structure of the polysiloxane block (i) and S is an atom in a chemical structure of the organo block (ii).
[0032] In the formula, R2 is a
Figure imgf000015_0001
alkylene group. Examples of the alkenyl group include vinyl groups, allyl groups, butenyl groups, pentenyl groups, heptenyl groups, and hexenyl groups. [0033] The content of the polysiloxane block (i) is not limited, but it is preferably in a range of from about 60 to about 90 mass% of the sum of the polysiloxane block (i) and the organo block (ii).
[0034] The polysiloxane block copolymer has at least two thiol (HS-) groups per molecule, so that it can be used as a crosslinking agent for an ene-thiol reaction type curable silicone composition. The bonding positions of the thiol groups in the polysiloxane block copolymer are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a position in the organo block (ii) other than the organo block represented by the following formula:
Figure imgf000015_0002
and the organo block represented by the following formula:
Figure imgf000016_0001
[0035] The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polysiloxane block copolymer on a standard polystyrene basis by gel permeation chromatography is not limited, but it is preferably in the range from about 3,000 to about 50,000, alternatively in the range from about 4,000 to about 10,000. This is because, when the molecular weight of the polysiloxane block copolymer is within the range described above, the resulting silicone block copolymer can promote to form a cured product having excellent tensile strength and low modulus.

[0036] The method of the present invention is characterized by reacting

alkenyl group; and "n" is a positive number of at least about 5; and
(B) an organo compound having at least three thiol groups per molecule; in a presence of a photoinitiator by irradiation with UV ray. [0037] The polysiloxane (A) is not limited, but is preferably at least one selected from a group consisting of a polysiloxane represented by the following formula:

(CH3)2(CH2=CH)SiO[(C6H5)2SiO]nSi(CH3)2(CH=CH2) a polysiloxane represented by the following formula:
(C6H5)2(CH2=CH)SiO[(CH3)2SiO]nSi(C6H5)2(CH=CH2) a polysiloxane represented by the following formula:

[0041] The reaction is initiated in a presence of (C) a photoinitiator by irradiation with UV ray. The photoinitiator is not limited.

The photoinitiator (C) may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0042] The content of the photoinitiator (C) is not limited, but it is preferably in a range of from about 0.001 to about 1 mass%, alternatively in a range of from about 0.005 to about 0.1 mass%, or alternatively in a range of from about 0.005 to about 0.1 mass%, of the total of the polysiloxane (A), the organo compound and the photoinitiator.
[0043] The reaction is conducted by ultraviolet irradiation.
