Abstract

Description

Curable composition and optical material comprising the same
Technical Field
Cross Reference to Related Applications
The present application claims the benefits and priorities of korean patent application No. 10-2021-0031499 filed on 3 months 10 of 2021 and korean patent application No. 10-2022-0026941 filed on 3 months 2 of 2022, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present disclosure relates to curable compositions for forming high refractive index optical members and optical materials comprising the same.
Background
High refractive index polymers (high refractive index polymer, hrep) are generally defined as polymer materials having a refractive index of 1.50 or more and are used as coating/sealing materials for improving light extraction efficiency of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), or microlens materials for image sensors.
In general, a glass lens may cause serious damage to an eyeball of a user when broken, and is high in density and thus heavy in weight, thus causing discomfort during lasting wear, while a lens using a high refractive index polymer is lighter than a glass lens, thus being comfortable to wear, less fragile, and relatively safer than a glass lens even if damaged, and capable of realizing various colors.
However, since the refractive index and chromatic aberration (abbe number) generally have a trade-off relationship in a high refractive index polymer, there is a problem in that lenses or the like using such a high refractive index polymer have a relatively low abbe number. When the glass transition temperature is low and thus the lens is used for a device or the like, there is a problem in that deformation or the like occurs due to heat generation.
Disclosure of Invention

For example, R 1 And R is 2 And may each independently be methylene, ethylene, propylene, isopropylene, cyclohexylene, cycloheptylene, phenylene, methylphenyl, ethylphenylene, methoxyphenylene, or ethoxyphenylene.
The sulfur-containing polymer compound may comprise any one of the following repeating units.
Since the sulfur-containing polymer compound contains the above-mentioned repeating unit, there is no problem such as a decrease in refractive index even when stored for a long period of time at room temperature. In the case of the sulfur-containing polymer compound containing no repeating unit as described above, there may be a problem of lowering of the refractive index when stored at room temperature for a long period of time (for example, 200 hours or more, 240 hours or more, or 300 hours or more).
The sulfur-containing polymer compound may contain 1 to 1000, 2 to 800, 5 to 500, or 10 to 200 repeating units of chemical formula 1 or chemical formula 2.
In addition, the sulfur-containing polymer compound may have a weight average molecular weight of 250 to 50,000, 500 to 40,000, or 1,000 to 30,000. When the weight average molecular weight of the sulfur-containing polymer compound is too large, there are problems in that the solubility in the episulfide compound is low, and it is difficult to obtain uniform physical properties such as uniform refractive index deviation and transparency deviation in the production of optical materials. When the weight average molecular weight is too small, the refractive index of the optical material formed after curing may be low.
As used herein, weight average molecular weight (Mw) refers to polystyrene-equivalent weight average molecular weight as measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). In measuring the polystyrene-equivalent weight average molecular weight measured by GPC, a detector and an analytical column, for example, a commonly known analytical device and a differential refractive index detector can be used, and commonly applied temperature conditions, solvents, and flow rates can be used. Specific examples of measurement conditions include a temperature of 30 ℃, chloroform solvent, and a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Specific examples of measurement conditions are as follows: a Waters PL-GPC220 instrument was used and a Polymer Laboratories PLgel MIX-B300 mm length column was used. The temperature was evaluated at 160℃and 1,2, 4-trichlorobenzene was used for the solvent at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Samples were prepared at a concentration of 10mg/10mL and then supplied in an amount of 200 μl, and the value of Mw can be determined using a calibration curve formed with polystyrene standards. 9 polystyrene standards having a molecular weight of 2,000/10,000/30,000/70,000/200,000/700,000/2,000,000/4,000,000/10,000,000 were used.
Meanwhile, the content of the sulfur-containing polymer compound may be 1 to 30 wt%, 2 to 25 wt%, or 5 to 20 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the total curable composition. When the content of the sulfur-containing polymer compound is too large, there is a problem that haze of an optical material formed after curing increases and yellowness also increases, and when the content of the sulfur-containing polymer compound is too small, there is a problem that refractive index of an optical material formed after curing decreases.
The sulfur-containing polymer compound may be prepared by the following reaction scheme 1 or reaction scheme 2, but is not limited thereto.
Reaction scheme 1
Reaction scheme 2
The sulfur-containing polymer compound can be prepared by reacting sulfur (nS) or selenium disulfide (SeS) 2 ) Dissolving in Na 2 S in aqueous solution, and then polymerizing it with a difunctional organohalogen compound. At this time, in schemes 1 and 2, R 1 、R 2 And n is defined as above, na 2 The aqueous S solution can be Li 2 S aqueous solution or K 2 The S aqueous solution, and the bifunctional organohalogen compound may be a polyfunctional organohalogen compound having three or more functional groups, a bifunctional or polyfunctional organotoluene sulfonate compound, a bifunctional or polyfunctional organomethane sulfonate compound, or the like.
Formed in reaction scheme 2Is can be +.>But is not limited to, one example of (wherein a+b is 3).
Conventionally, a thiol compound containing a thiol group (-SH) is contained in a curable composition for forming a high refractive index optical material, but in the case of using a composition of a thiol compound, a curing reaction is performed immediately after mixing, and the viscosity increases sharply, and furthermore, rapid curing causes a streak phenomenon, which causes a problem that an optical material formed from such a composition is inferior in optical characteristics and physical characteristics.
However, since the curable composition for forming a high refractive index optical material according to one embodiment contains a sulfur-containing polymer compound, a rapid curing reaction does not occur immediately after mixing, whereby long-term storage is possible, and a streaking phenomenon due to rapid curing is also unlikely to occur.
The episulfide compound contained in the curable composition can be represented by the following chemical formula 3.
[ chemical formula 3]
In the chemical formula 3, the chemical formula is shown in the drawing,
R 3 and R is 4 Each independently is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms,
R 5 and R is 6 Each independently is a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms,
a is an integer from 0 to 4, and
b is an integer from 0 to 6.
The episulfide compound can contain a high content of sulfur (S) atoms having a large atomic refractive index in the molecule due to the above-described specific chemical structure, and by such a high sulfur atom content, the refractive index of the cured product can be increased.
In addition, the episulfide compound can be cured by ring-opening polymerization, and the alkylene sulfide group formed by ring-opening polymerization of the episulfide group can further improve the high refractive index of the cured product.
Meanwhile, in chemical formula 3, R 3 And R is 4 May each be independently hydrogen or methyl, but is not limited thereto.
In addition, R 5 And R is 6 Each independently may be a single bond, methylene, ethylene, propylene, isopropylene, butylene or isobutylene, but is not limited thereto.
Further, a and b may each independently be 0 or 1.
A of chemical formula 3 refers to the carbon number of the alkylene group contained in the thioether repeating unit, and if a is too large, the length of the carbon chain in the molecule may be lengthened, and thus, the glass transition temperature of the cured product may be lowered, the heat resistance of the cured product may be deteriorated, and the relative sulfur content may be lowered, and thus, the refractive index of the cured product may be lowered.
B of chemical formula 3 refers to the number of repetitions of a thioether repeating unit in which an alkylene group is linked through a sulfur (S) atom, and if b is too large, the length of a carbon chain in a molecule may be lengthened, and thus, the glass transition temperature of a cured product may be lowered and the heat resistance of the cured product may be deteriorated.
Further, the compounds represented by chemical formula 3 may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The episulfide compound may include, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of: bis (β -cyclopropyl) sulfide, bis (β -cyclopropyl) disulfide, bis (β -cyclopropyl thio) methane, 1, 2-bis (β -cyclopropyl thio) ethane, 1, 3-bis (β -cyclopropyl thio) propane, and 1, 4-bis (β -cyclopropyl thio) butane, but are not limited thereto.
The episulfide compound may be included in a content of 50 to 99 wt%, 60 to 95 wt%, or 65 to 85 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the total curable composition. If the content of the episulfide compound is too large, the refractive index may be lowered or physical properties and optical properties of the finally produced optical material may be deteriorated. If the content of the episulfide compound is too small, the yellowness of the finally produced optical material may increase.
Furthermore, the weight ratio of sulfur-containing polymer compound to episulfide compound may be 1:2 to 1:30, 1:3 to 1:25, 1:4 to 1:20, 1:4 to 1:15, or 1:4 to 1:13. If the content of the episulfide compound is too small as compared with the sulfur-containing polymer compound, there may be a problem in that the yellowness may be increased and the polymer compound may not be completely dissolved. If the content of the episulfide compound is too high as compared with the sulfur-containing polymer compound, the refractive index of the formed optical material may be low, or physical properties or optical properties may be deteriorated.
The curable composition for forming the high refractive index optical material may contain sulfur (S 8 ) Granules, selenium sulphide (SeS) 2 ) Particles or mixtures thereof. The curable composition comprises sulfur particles and/or selenium sulphide particles so that the refractive index can be further increased and the haze and yellowness index can be reduced.
Sulfur (S) 8 ) The particles may have a particle size of 1 μm to 200 μm, 2 μm to 180 μm, or 3 μm to 170 μm. If the particle size of the sulfur particles is too small, it is possible thatThe shape of the particles cannot be maintained, and if the particle size is too large, the transmittance of the high refractive index plastic substrate may decrease and the haze may increase.
In addition, selenium sulphide (SeS) 2 ) The particles may have a particle size of 1 μm to 200 μm, 5 μm to 180 μm, or 10 μm to 170 μm. If the particle size of the selenium sulfide particles is too small, the shape of the particles may not be maintained, while if the particle size is too large, the transmittance of the high refractive index plastic substrate may decrease and the haze may increase.
Particle size can be determined by, for example, dynamic light scattering, laser diffraction, centrifugal sedimentation, FFF (Field Flow Fractionation ), pore resistance, scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis, transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis, and the like.
When the curable composition further comprises sulfur particles and/or selenium sulphide particles, the content of sulfur particles may be 0.1 to 30 wt%, 1 to 20 wt%, 2 to 15 wt%, or 3 to 10 wt% relative to 100 wt% of the curable composition. Further, the selenium disulfide particles may be present in an amount of 0.1 to 30 wt%, 0.5 to 20 wt%, or 0.8 to 15 wt% relative to 100 wt% of the curable composition.
The curable composition may comprise a catalyst. The catalyst is not particularly limited as long as it is a catalyst generally used in curable compositions for forming high refractive index optical materials, but the catalyst may be, for example, a nucleophilic catalyst including amine or phosphine.
For example, the catalyst may include imidazole derivatives such as imidazole, 2-methylimidazole, 2-ethylimidazole, 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, 2-phenylimidazole, 4-phenylimidazole, 1-cyanoethyl-2-phenylimidazole, 1- (2-cyanoethyl) -2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, and the like; amine compounds such as dicyandiamide, benzyldimethylamine, 4- (dimethylamino) -N, N-dimethylbenzylamine, 4-methoxy-N, N-dimethylbenzylamine, 4-methyl-N, N-dimethylbenzylamine, N-dicyclohexylmethylamine, N-ethyl-N-isopropyl-2-amine, N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, etc.; hydrazine compounds such as adipic acid dihydrazide, sebacic acid dihydrazide, and the like; phosphorus compounds such as triphenylphosphine and the like; and pyridine compounds such as 2-bromopyridine and the like. Furthermore, as commercially available catalysts, there may be mentioned, for example, 2MZ-a, 2MZ-OK, 2PHZ, 2P4BHZ, 2P4MHZ (product name of imidazole-based compound) manufactured by Shikoku Kasei Kogyo co., ltd; U-CAT3503N, UCAT3502T (product name of blocked isocyanate of dimethylamine) manufactured by San-Apro Ltd; DBU, DBN, U-CATSA102, U-CAT5002 (dicycloamidine compound and salts thereof); etc.
The catalyst may be present in an amount of 0.001 to 10 wt%, 0.01 to 5 wt%, or 0.1 to 1 wt% based on 100 wt% of the total curable composition. If the content of the catalyst is too much, there is a problem in that the curing speed may be increased and thus the storage stability of the composition may be deteriorated, whereas if the content of the catalyst is too little, there is a problem in that the curing speed may be lowered and thus the heat curing process may be lengthened.
