Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a novel diamine compound having an ability to generate radicals and an ability to generate a base, and an imide polymer used for a liquid crystal aligning agent, a photosensitive resin material, and the like, which uses the diamine compound as a raw material.
Background
A liquid crystal display element of a type (referred to as a Vertical Alignment (VA) type) in which liquid crystal molecules aligned vertically with respect to a substrate are caused to respond to an electric field may include a step of irradiating ultraviolet rays while applying a voltage to the liquid crystal molecules in a manufacturing process thereof.
For such a liquid crystal display element of the vertical alignment type, there are known: a PSA (Polymer stabilized Alignment) type element (patent document 1 and non-patent document 1) in which a photopolymerizable compound is added to a liquid crystal composition in advance, and ultraviolet rays are irradiated to a liquid crystal cell while applying a voltage thereto, thereby increasing the response speed of the liquid crystal, using a vertical Alignment film such as a polyimide-based one.
In the PSA type element, the tilt direction of the liquid crystal molecules responding to the electric field is generally controlled by a protrusion provided on the substrate, a slit provided in the display electrode, or the like. In this case, since the photopolymerizable compound is added to the liquid crystal composition and the polymer structure that memorizes the tilt direction of the liquid crystal molecules is formed on the liquid crystal alignment film by irradiating the liquid crystal cell with ultraviolet rays while applying a voltage, the response speed of the liquid crystal display element can be said to be increased as compared with a method of controlling the tilt direction of the liquid crystal molecules only by the protrusions and slits.
On the other hand, in the PSA type element, there is a problem that the polymerizable compound added to the liquid crystal has low solubility and precipitates at low temperature when the amount of addition is increased, but a good alignment state cannot be obtained when the amount of addition of the polymerizable compound is decreased. Further, the unreacted polymerizable compound remaining in the liquid crystal becomes an impurity (contamination) in the liquid crystal, and thus there is also a problem that the reliability of the liquid crystal display element is lowered. In addition, when the UV irradiation treatment required for the PSA method is performed at a large dose, components in the liquid crystal are decomposed, which leads to a decrease in reliability.
Further, it has been reported that the response speed of the liquid crystal display element is increased by adding a photopolymerizable compound to the liquid crystal alignment film without adding it to the liquid crystal composition (SC-PVA type liquid crystal display, non-patent document 2).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
In recent years, as the quality of liquid crystal display elements has improved, it has been desired to further improve the response speed of liquid crystal with respect to voltage application. Therefore, it is required that the polymerizable compound efficiently reacts and exhibits an alignment fixing ability under irradiation with ultraviolet rays having a long wavelength without accompanying decomposition of components in the liquid crystal. Further, it is also necessary that the polymerizable compound does not remain unreacted after the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, and the reliability of the liquid crystal display element is not adversely affected.
The present invention addresses the problem of providing an imide polymer that is suitably used as a liquid crystal aligning agent, particularly a liquid crystal aligning agent for PSA elements having a high response speed, a material for photosensitive resins, and the like, and a novel diamine compound that is a raw material for the imide polymer.

In addition, Ar is optionally substituted with a substituent, and the substituent is preferably an electron-donating organic group such as an alkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, or an amino group.
Ar is most preferably a phenylene group from the viewpoint of ease of synthesis and solubility, as compared with a naphthylene group and a biphenylene group.

(other diamines)
As the diamine used as a raw material of the imide-based polymer of the present invention, diamines other than the above-mentioned diamines may be used in combination as a diamine component. Specifically, for example, diamines described in paragraph 0063 of International publication WO2015/033921A1 (2015.3.12), such as p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, 3, 5-diaminobenzoic acid, and 4, 4' -diaminobenzophenone, can be used.
< production of imide-based Polymer of the present application >
The imide polymer of the present application is produced by polycondensing a diamine component containing a specific diamine and, if necessary, a diamine having a side chain for vertically aligning a liquid crystal, and the other diamine described above, with a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component.
Specific examples of the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component include diamines described in paragraph 0065 of International publication WO2015/033921A1 (2015.3.12), such as pyromellitic acid, 1,2,3, 4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, bicyclo [3,3,0] octane-2, 4,6, 8-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, and 2,3, 5-tricarboxycyclopentylacetic acid-1, 4,2, 3-dianhydride. The tetracarboxylic dianhydride may be used in combination of 1 or 2 or more.
When the diamine component is reacted with the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component, the specific diamine is preferably 10 to 100 mol%, more preferably 20 to 60 mol%, and particularly preferably 30 to 50 mol% of the diamine component used for the synthesis of the polyamic acid.
The vertically oriented side chain diamine is preferably 5 to 50 mol% of the diamine component, more preferably 10 to 40 mol%, and particularly preferably 15 to 30 mol% of the diamine component.
When the polyamic acid is obtained by the reaction of the diamine component and the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component, a known synthesis method can be used. In general, a method of reacting a diamine component with a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component in an organic solvent is used. The reaction of the diamine component and the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component is advantageous in that it proceeds relatively easily in an organic solvent and no by-product is produced.
The organic solvent used in the above reaction is not particularly limited as long as the produced polyamic acid is dissolved. Further, even if the organic solvent is an organic solvent in which the polyamic acid is not dissolved, the solvent may be mixed and used in a range where the produced polyamic acid is not precipitated. It is preferable that the organic solvent is dehydrated and dried for use because moisture in the organic solvent inhibits the polymerization reaction and causes hydrolysis of the polyamic acid to be produced.
Examples of the organic solvent used in the above reaction include N, N-dimethylformamide, N-dimethylacetamide, N-diethylformamide, N-methylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1, 3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, 3-methoxy-N, N-dimethylpropionamide, N-methylcaprolactam, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetramethylurea, pyridine, dimethyl sulfone, hexamethylsulfoxide, γ -butyrolactone, isopropanol, methoxymethylpentanol, dipentene, ethylpentyl ketone, methylnonyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isoamyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, methyl cellosolve, and the like, Ethyl cellosolve, methyl cellosolve acetate, butyl cellosolve acetate, ethyl cellosolve acetate, butyl carbitol, ethyl carbitol, ethylene glycol monoacetate, ethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monoacetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol tert-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoacetate, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoacetate monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoacetate monoethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monopropyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoacetate monopropyl ether, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutyl acetate, tripropylene glycol methyl ether, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, methyl cellosolve, butyl cellosolve acetate, butyl carbitol, ethyl carbitol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and the like, Diisopropyl ether, ethyl isobutyl ether, diisobutylene, amyl acetate, butyl butyrate, butyl ether, diisobutyl ketone, methyl cyclohexene, propyl ether, dihexyl ether, dioxane, n-hexane, n-pentane, n-octane, diethyl ether, cyclohexanone, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, propylene glycol monoethyl acetate, methyl pyruvate, ethyl pyruvate, methyl 3-methoxypropionate, methyl 3-ethoxypropionate, ethyl 3-methoxypropionate, 3-ethoxypropionic acid, 3-methoxypropionic acid, propyl 3-methoxypropionate, butyl 3-methoxypropionate, diglyme, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and the like. These organic solvents may be used alone or in combination.
The method of reacting a diamine component with a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component in an organic solvent may optionally be a method comprising: a method of stirring a solution in which a diamine component is dispersed or dissolved in an organic solvent, and adding a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component as it is or in a state of being dispersed or dissolved in an organic solvent; a method of adding a diamine component to a solution obtained by dispersing or dissolving a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component in an organic solvent; a method of alternately adding a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component and a diamine component. When the diamine component or the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component is formed of a plurality of compounds, they may be reacted in a state of being mixed in advance, or they may be reacted in sequence, or low-molecular-weight materials obtained by the respective reactions may be mixed and reacted to produce a high-molecular-weight material.

Naturally, a mixed solvent of 2 or more kinds may be used.
Further, it is preferable to use a solvent that improves the uniformity and smoothness of the coating film by mixing the solvent with a solvent having high solubility in the components contained in the liquid crystal aligning agent.
As the solvent, for example, a solvent described in paragraph 0094 of International publication WO2015/033921A1(2015.3.12 publication) can be used.
< polymerizable Compound >
The liquid crystal aligning agent of the present application may contain a polymerizable compound having 2 or more groups at the end for photopolymerization or photocrosslinking, as necessary. The polymerizable compound is a compound having 2 or more terminals having a group which is photopolymerized or photocrosslinked. Here, the polymerizable compound having a group that undergoes photopolymerization refers to a compound having a functional group that undergoes polymerization upon irradiation with light. The compound having a group which is photocrosslinkable means a compound having a functional group which can be crosslinked by reacting with at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of a polymer of a polymerizable compound, a polyimide precursor, and a polyimide obtained by imidizing the polyimide precursor by irradiation with light. In addition, as for the compounds having a group which undergoes photocrosslinking, the compounds having a group which undergoes photocrosslinking also undergo reaction with each other.
When the polymerizable compound is contained, the content thereof is preferably 1 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 5 to 30 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the imide polymer.
By using the liquid crystal aligning agent containing the polymerizable compound in a vertical alignment type liquid crystal display element such as an SC-PVA type liquid crystal display, the response speed can be remarkably improved, and the response speed can be sufficiently improved even with a small amount of the polymerizable compound, as compared with the case where the polymerizable compound is used alone and a polymer having a side chain for vertically aligning the liquid crystal and a photoreactive side chain is used.
Examples of the group to be photopolymerized or photocrosslinked include monovalent groups represented by the following formula (IV).
(R12Represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Z1Represents a 2-valent aromatic ring or heterocyclic ring optionally substituted by a C1-12 alkyl group or a C1-12 alkoxy group. Z2Represents a 1-valent aromatic ring or heterocyclic ring optionally substituted by a C1-12 alkyl group or a C1-12 alkoxy group. )
Specific examples of the polymerizable compound include a compound having a group which is photopolymerizable at each of 2 terminals represented by the following formula (V), a compound having a group which is photopolymerizable and a group which is photocrosslinkable at each of 2 terminals represented by the following formula (VI), and a compound having a group which is photocrosslinkable at each of 2 terminals represented by the following formula (VII).

Q1Preferably having a phenylene (-C)6H4-) and biphenylene (-C)6H4-C6H4-) cyclohexylene (-C)6H10-) isocyclic structure. This is because the interaction with the liquid crystal tends to become large.

V, W may be the same or different, but they are easy to synthesize when they are the same.
Even if the polymerizable compound has an acrylate group or a methacrylate group as a group to be photopolymerized or photocrosslinked instead of the α -methylene- γ -butyrolactone group, the polymerizable compound having a structure in which the acrylate group or the methacrylate group is bonded to a phenylene group via an oxyalkylene-like spacer bond can significantly improve the response speed particularly in the same manner as the polymerizable compound having the α -methylene- γ -butyrolactone group at both ends. Further, a polymerizable compound having a structure in which an acrylate group or a methacrylate group is bonded to a phenylene group via an oxyalkylene group or the like spacer bond improves stability against heat, and can sufficiently withstand a high temperature, for example, a firing temperature of 200 ℃.
The method for producing the polymerizable compound is not particularly limited, and the production method described in paragraphs 0076 to 0082 of International publication WO2015/033921A1 (2015.3.12) can be used.
The liquid crystal aligning agent may contain components other than those described above. Examples thereof include a compound which improves the uniformity of film thickness and surface smoothness when the liquid crystal alignment agent is applied, a compound which improves the adhesion between the liquid crystal alignment film and the substrate, and the like.
The liquid crystal alignment agent is applied to a substrate and fired to form a liquid crystal alignment film for vertically aligning liquid crystals. By using the liquid crystal aligning agent of the present application, the response speed of a liquid crystal display element using the obtained liquid crystal alignment film can be increased. In addition, the polymerizable compound optionally contained in the liquid crystal aligning agent of the present invention is contained in the liquid crystal without being contained in the liquid crystal aligning agent, or is contained in the liquid crystal together with the liquid crystal aligning agent, so that the sensitivity of photoreaction is increased in the so-called PSA mode, and a tilt angle can be imparted even with a small amount of ultraviolet irradiation.
For example, the liquid crystal alignment agent of the present application may be applied to a substrate, dried and fired as necessary to obtain a cured film, and the cured film may be used as it is as a liquid crystal alignment film. The cured film may be subjected to brushing, irradiation with polarized light, light of a specific wavelength, or the like, or treatment with an ion beam or the like to prepare an alignment film for PSA, and the liquid crystal display element filled with the liquid crystal may be irradiated with UV in a state where a voltage is applied. Particularly useful as an alignment film for PSA.
In this case, the substrate used is not particularly limited as long as it is a substrate having high transparency, and a glass plate, polycarbonate, poly (meth) acrylate, or the like can be used. In addition, the use of a substrate on which an ITO electrode or the like for driving liquid crystal is formed is preferable from the viewpoint of simplification of the process. In the reflective liquid crystal display element, an opaque material such as a silicon wafer may be used as long as it is a single-sided substrate, and a material that reflects light such as aluminum may be used as an electrode in this case.
The method of applying the liquid crystal aligning agent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include printing methods such as screen printing, gravure printing, and flexographic printing; ink-jet methods, spray methods, roll coating methods, dipping, roll coaters, slit coaters, spin coaters, and the like. In terms of productivity, the transfer printing method is widely used industrially, and can be suitably used in the present application.
The coating film formed by applying the liquid crystal aligning agent by the above-mentioned method may be fired to form a cured film. The drying step after the application of the liquid crystal aligning agent is not essential, and when the time from the application to the firing of each substrate is not constant or the firing is not performed immediately after the application, the drying step is preferably performed. The drying is not particularly limited as long as the solvent is removed to such an extent that the shape of the coating film is not deformed by conveyance of the substrate or the like. For example, the drying may be performed for 0.5 to 30 minutes, preferably 1 to 5 minutes, on a hot plate at a temperature of 40 to 150 ℃, preferably 60 to 100 ℃.
The firing temperature of the coating film formed by applying the liquid crystal aligning agent is not limited, and is, for example, 100 to 350 ℃, preferably 120 to 300 ℃, and more preferably 150 to 250 ℃. The firing time is 5 to 240 minutes, preferably 10 to 90 minutes, and more preferably 20 to 90 minutes. The heating can be performed by a generally known method such as a hot plate, a hot air circulating furnace, an infrared furnace, or the like.
The thickness of the liquid crystal alignment film obtained by firing is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 300nm, more preferably 10 to 100 nm.
< liquid crystal display element >
The liquid crystal display element of the present application can be produced by forming a liquid crystal alignment film on a substrate by the above-described method and then fabricating a liquid crystal cell by a known method. A specific example of the liquid crystal display element is a vertical alignment type liquid crystal display element including a liquid crystal cell having: 2 substrates disposed in an opposing manner, a liquid crystal layer provided between the substrates, and the liquid crystal alignment film formed of the liquid crystal alignment agent of the present application provided between the substrates and the liquid crystal layer. Specifically, the liquid crystal display element of the vertical alignment type is provided with a liquid crystal cell manufactured as follows: the liquid crystal alignment agent of the present application is applied to 2 substrates and fired to form a liquid crystal alignment film, the 2 substrates are arranged so that the liquid crystal alignment film faces each other, a liquid crystal layer composed of a liquid crystal is sandwiched between the 2 substrates, that is, the liquid crystal layer is provided so as to be in contact with the liquid crystal alignment film, and ultraviolet rays are irradiated while applying a voltage to the liquid crystal alignment film and the liquid crystal layer, thereby producing a liquid crystal cell.
By using the liquid crystal alignment film formed from the liquid crystal aligning agent of the present application, the polymerizable compound is polymerized by irradiating ultraviolet rays while applying a voltage to the liquid crystal alignment film and the liquid crystal layer, and the photoreactive side chains of the polymer are reacted with each other and the photoreactive side chains of the polymer are reacted with the polymerizable compound, whereby the alignment of the liquid crystal is more effectively fixed, and a liquid crystal display element having a remarkably excellent response speed is formed.
The substrate used in the liquid crystal display element of the present application is not particularly limited as long as it is a substrate having high transparency, and is usually a substrate on which a transparent electrode for driving liquid crystal is formed. Specific examples thereof include the same substrates as those described in the liquid crystal alignment film. The conventional substrate provided with an electrode pattern or a protrusion pattern may be used, but the liquid crystal display element of the present invention can be operated even in a structure in which a line/slit electrode pattern of, for example, 1 to 10 μm is formed on one side substrate and no slit pattern or protrusion pattern is formed on the counter substrate because the liquid crystal alignment agent of the present invention is used.
In addition, in a high-functional element such as a TFT-type element, a product in which an element such as a transistor is formed between an electrode for driving liquid crystal and a substrate can be used.
In the case of a transmissive liquid crystal display element, the above-described substrate is generally used, but in the case of a reflective liquid crystal display element, if the substrate is a single-sided substrate, an opaque substrate such as a silicon wafer may be used. In this case, a material such as aluminum that reflects light may be used for the electrodes formed on the substrate.
The liquid crystal material of the liquid crystal layer constituting the liquid crystal display element of the present application is not particularly limited, and a liquid crystal material used in a conventional vertical alignment system, for example, a negative-type liquid crystal such as MLC-6608, MLC-6609, or the like, manufactured by MERCK Corporation, can be used. In the PSA mode, for example, a liquid crystal containing a polymerizable compound represented by the following formula can be used.
In the present application, a known method can be used as a method of sandwiching a liquid crystal layer between 2 substrates. Examples of the method include the following methods: the method includes preparing 1 pair of substrates on which liquid crystal alignment films are formed, spreading spacers such as beads on the liquid crystal alignment film of one substrate, attaching the other substrate so that the surface on which the liquid crystal alignment film is formed is the inner side, injecting liquid crystal under reduced pressure, and sealing. In addition, a liquid crystal cell can also be produced by the following method: the method includes preparing 1 pair of substrates on which liquid crystal alignment films are formed, dispersing spacers such as beads on the liquid crystal alignment film of one substrate, dropping liquid crystal, and then attaching the other substrate so that the surface on which the liquid crystal alignment film is formed is the inner side, and sealing. The thickness of the spacer is preferably 1 to 30 μm, more preferably 2 to 10 μm.
Examples of the step of producing a liquid crystal cell by irradiating ultraviolet rays while applying a voltage to the liquid crystal alignment film and the liquid crystal layer include a method of applying an electric field to the liquid crystal alignment film and the liquid crystal layer by applying a voltage between electrodes provided on the substrate, and irradiating ultraviolet rays while maintaining the electric field. The voltage applied between the electrodes is, for example, 5 to 30Vp-p, preferably 5 to 20 Vp-p. As the ultraviolet ray, it is possible to use a general light having a wavelength of 250 to 420nm, preferably 300 to 380nm, inclusive of 365 nm. The irradiation dose is, for example, 1 to 60J/cm2Preferably 40J/cm2Hereinafter, it is preferable that the smaller the amount of ultraviolet irradiation, the lower the reliability due to destruction of the member constituting the liquid crystal display element, and the shorter the ultraviolet irradiation time, the higher the manufacturing efficiency.
As described above, when ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the liquid crystal alignment film and the liquid crystal layer while applying a voltage, the polymerizable compound reacts to form a polymer, and the polymer memorizes the tilt direction of the liquid crystal molecules, thereby increasing the response speed of the obtained liquid crystal display element. When ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the liquid crystal alignment film and the liquid crystal layer while applying a voltage, photoreactive side chains of at least one polymer selected from a polyimide precursor having a side chain for vertically aligning a liquid crystal and a photoreactive side chain and a polyimide obtained by imidizing the polyimide precursor react with each other, and the photoreactive side chains of the polymer react with the polymerizable compound, so that the response speed of the obtained liquid crystal display element can be increased.

Then, a rectangular wave of voltage ± 7V and a frequency of 1kHz was applied to the liquid crystal cell, and a change until the luminance observed by the light amount detector was saturated was received with an oscilloscope, and the luminance when no voltage was applied was set to 0%, the value of the luminance saturated by applying a voltage of ± 7V was set to 100%, and the time taken for the luminance to change from 10% to 90% was set as the response speed.
Measurement of Pre-Tilt Angle "
An LCD analyzer LCA-LUV42A manufactured by Meiryo technical Corporation was used.
Comparative example 1
BODA (1.3g, 5.2mmol), 3AMPDA (0.63g, 2.6mmol), PDA (0.56g, 5.2mmol) and DA-2(1.98g, 5.2mmol) were dissolved in NMP (17.9g), and after reaction at 60 ℃ for 5 hours, CBDA (1.48g, 7.5mmol) and NMP (6.g) were added and reacted at 40 ℃ for 10 hours to obtain a polyamic acid solution.
NMP was added to the polyamic acid solution (25g) and the mixture was diluted to 6.5 mass%, and then acetic anhydride (4.64g) and pyridine (1.44g) were added as an imidization catalyst to conduct a reaction at 70 ℃ for 3 hours. The reaction solution was poured into methanol (330ml), and the resulting precipitate was filtered off. The precipitate was washed with methanol and dried under reduced pressure at 100 ℃ to obtain a polyimide powder (B). The polyimide had an imidization rate of 71%, a number average molecular weight of 12000 and a weight average molecular weight of 32000.
NMP (22.0g) was added to the obtained polyimide powder (B) (3.0g), and the mixture was stirred at 70 ℃ for 20 hours to dissolve the powder. To the solution were added 3.0g of 3AMP (1 mass% NMP solution), NMP (2.0g) and BCS (20.0g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours to obtain a liquid crystal aligning agent (B1).
The response speed and pretilt angle were measured in the same manner as in example 1 except that the liquid crystal aligning agent (B1) was used as the liquid crystal aligning agent.
TABLE 1
From the above results, it was found that the liquid crystal aligning agent (A1) containing DA-1 can impart a tilt angle efficiently even when irradiated with ultraviolet light having a long wavelength of 365 nm. This is considered to be because the polymerizable compound contained in the liquid crystal efficiently reacts based on the radical generated from DA-1. On the other hand, in the liquid crystal aligning agent B1 containing no DA-1, no tilt angle was imparted, and the response speed was hardly improved. This is considered because the ultraviolet rays used for irradiation have a long wavelength, and therefore polymerization of the polymerizable compound hardly proceeds.
(example 2)
Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) (7.11g, 50.0mmol) and Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) (5.01g, 50.0mmol) were dissolved in NMP (116.4g), degassed with a diaphragm pump for 5 minutes, then Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) (0.82g, 5.0mmol) was added, and degassed again for 5 minutes. This was then allowed to react at 60 ℃ for 30 hours to give 1: 1 copolymer. Butyl Cellosolve (BCS) (86.2g) was added to the polymer solution to obtain a 6 mass% polymethacrylate solution (C). The polymer had a number average molecular weight of 6800 and a weight average molecular weight of 10800.
DA-1(42.3mg, 0.1mmol) was added to and dissolved in this solution (C) (10.0g), to give a polymethacrylate solution (C1).
"confirmation of the ability to photogenerate base"
The obtained polymethacrylate solution (C1) was spin-coated on the ITO surface of an ITO electrode substrate, and dried on a hot plate at 80 ℃ for 90 seconds to prepare an ITO electrode substrate having a polymethacrylate thin film with a thickness of 100 nm.
The film surface of the substrate was irradiated with light at 3J/cm2Ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 313nm passed through a band-pass filter of (1)UV), firing was carried out for 5 minutes with a hot plate at 140 ℃. Next, the obtained substrate was immersed in tetrahydrofuran for 30 seconds, and then washed with pure water for 10 seconds, and it was visually checked whether or not the polymethacrylate on the substrate surface was insoluble.
Further, coated substrates not irradiated with UV and not fired, coated substrates irradiated with UV only, and coated substrates fired only were prepared, and whether polymethacrylate was insoluble or not was judged by the same method as described above. The evaluation results are shown in table 2.
Comparative example 2
The same operation as in example 2 was carried out except that DA-1 was not added, and whether or not the polymethacrylate was insoluble was judged.
Comparative example 3
The same operation as in example 2 was carried out except that DA-2(38.1mg, 0.1mmol) was added instead of DA-1, to determine whether or not polymethacrylate was insoluble.
TABLE 2
As shown in comparative example 2, it was confirmed that DA-1 or DA-2 was dissolved in THF in any case in comparative example 2. This means that the glycidyl groups in the polymer do not undergo a crosslinking reaction.
In addition, in comparative example 3 and example 2, when only DA-1 or DA-2 was added without UV irradiation, it was confirmed that the polymethacrylate was not insoluble. In this case, it is shown that the isolated electron pair on the nitrogen atom is delocalized by the benzene ring, steric hindrance of the side chain, or the like, and therefore, the nucleating property of the diamine site is weak, and the glycidyl group in the polymer cannot be crosslinked.
On the other hand, in example 2 using DA-1, it was confirmed that the polymethacrylate film was not dissolved by UV irradiation and subsequent firing. This is considered to be because morpholine is generated from DA-1 by UV irradiation, and glycidyl groups contained in polymethacrylate are crosslinked by subsequent heating.
From the results of examples 1 and 2 described above, it was confirmed that DA-1 has the ability to generate radicals and the ability to generate bases by light irradiation.
