The present application claims priority based on korean patent application No. 10-2021-013411 filed on 8 th 10 of 2021 and korean patent application No. 10-2022-0128215 filed on 6 th 10 of 2022, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
Technical Field
The present application relates to curable compositions and uses thereof.
Background
The importance of techniques for handling the heat generated by the products is increasing. One of representative methods for treating heat is a method of discharging heat generated from a product to the outside using a material having excellent thermal conductivity or dissipating the generated heat using a cooling medium or the like.
However, handling heat in a product constituted by a heat generating element (heat generating element) is a difficult problem.
For example, a battery module or battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells or a plurality of battery modules positioned adjacent to each other. Therefore, heat generated in any one of the battery cells or the battery modules may affect other adjacent elements, and may cause problems such as chain fire or chain explosion in some cases.
In such products, it is necessary to prevent heat, explosion, combustion, or the like generated in any one element from affecting other adjacent elements.
Depending on the product, a uniform temperature must be maintained throughout the drive or maintenance process. Therefore, in the product constituted by a plurality of heat generating elements together as above, the following technique is required: the entire temperature of the product can be uniformly maintained during the driving or maintenance process, and abnormal heat or explosion or combustion occurring in any one of the heating elements can be handled without being propagated to other elements, if possible.

Technical proposal
In the physical characteristics mentioned in the present specification, unless otherwise specified, the physical characteristics in which temperature affects the physical characteristics are physical characteristics measured at room temperature.
In the present specification, the term room temperature is a natural temperature without heating or cooling, which means, for example, any temperature in the range of about 10 ℃ to 30 ℃, for example, a temperature of about 15 ℃, about 18 ℃, about 20 ℃, about 23 ℃, or about 25 ℃. In addition, unless otherwise indicated in the specification, the units of temperature are in ℃.
In the physical properties mentioned in the present specification, when the pressure affects the result, the relevant physical properties are physical properties measured at normal pressure unless otherwise specified. The term normal pressure is a natural pressure without pressurization and depressurization, and is generally about 1 atmosphere (about 700mmHg to 800mmHg or so) and is called normal pressure.
Among the physical properties mentioned in the present specification, when humidity affects the result, the relevant physical properties are physical properties measured without particular control of humidity at room temperature and normal pressure unless otherwise specified.
The present application relates to curable compositions. The term curable composition is a curable composition. Curing is a phenomenon in which a composition hardens by physical and/or chemical reactions.
The curable composition may be of an energy beam curing type, a moisture curing type, a heat curing type, or a room temperature curing type, or a mixed curing type in which two or more types of the above curing methods are applied.
The curable composition may be cured by the following method: a method of irradiating the composition with an energy beam (e.g., ultraviolet rays) in the case of an energy beam curing type; a method of maintaining the composition under a proper humidity in the case of a moisture-curable type; a method of applying appropriate heat to the composition in the case of thermosetting; or a method of maintaining the curable composition at room temperature in the case of a room temperature curing type; and in the case of the hybrid curing type, two or more of the above methods may be applied simultaneously or in stages to cure the curable composition. In one example, the curable composition of the present application may be at least room temperature curable. For example, the curable composition of the present application can be cured in a state maintained at room temperature without separate energy beam irradiation and heat application.
The curable composition of the present application may be a one-part curable composition or a two-part curable composition. One-component curable compositions are compositions in which the components required for curing are stored in a mixed state, and two-component curable compositions are compositions in which the components required for curing are stored in a physically separated state. Two-component curable compositions generally comprise a so-called main agent part and a curing agent part, and for curing the main agent part and the curing agent part are mixed. When the curable composition of the present application is a two-part curable composition, the curable composition may be a main agent part or a curing agent part of the two-part curable composition, or a mixture of a main agent part and a curing agent part.
The curable composition may form a cured body exhibiting latent heat in a predetermined temperature range. Latent heat is generally defined as the amount of heat required by a substance to cause a state change (phase change) without any temperature change. However, when the cured body of the present application exhibits latent heat, it is not always necessary to cause a change in the state of the whole. Latent heat of the cured body in the present application may occur during a state change of at least a part of the cured body or a component contained in the cured body.
In the present application, the case where the cured body exhibits latent heat in a predetermined temperature range means that the cured material exhibits an endothermic peak in a DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) analysis performed in the manner described in examples described below. The process of the cured body of the present application exhibiting latent heat is an isothermal process. Accordingly, the cured body may be applied to a product generating heat to control heat while uniformly maintaining the temperature of the product, and the influence of abnormal heat, explosion, and/or fire occurring in one product on other adjacent products may be minimized or prevented.
The lower limit of the latent heat exhibited by the cured body may be about 20J/g, 25J/g, 30J/g, 35J/g, 40J/g, 45J/g, 50J/g, 55J/g, 60J/g, 65J/g, 70J/g, 75J/g, 80J/g, 85J/g or 90J/g, and the upper limit thereof may also be about 200J/g, 195J/g, 190J/g, 185J/g, 180J/g, 175J/g, 170J/g, 165J/g, 160J/g, 155J/g, 150J/g, 145J/g, 140J/g, 135J/g, 130J/g, 125J/g, 120J/g, 115J/g, 110J/g, 105J/g, 100J/g, 95J/g, 90J/g, 85J/g, 80J/g, 75J/g, 70J/g, 65J/g, 60J/g, 55J/g, 45J/g or 40J/g. The latent heat exhibited by the cured body may be greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits. The cured body exhibiting such latent heat can perform excellent heat control functions in various applications, and in particular, can stably control heat in a battery module or a battery pack.
The temperature zone where the cured body exhibits latent heat can be controlled.
In the present specification, the latent heat region is a temperature region representing latent heat, which is a range from a temperature at a left start inflection point of an endothermic peak to a temperature at a right start inflection point of the endothermic peak in an endothermic region in which an endothermic peak of DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) analysis of an embodiment to be described below is determined. In the present specification, the temperature at the left start inflection point of the endothermic peak may also be referred to as a start temperature, and the temperature at the right start inflection point of the endothermic peak may also be referred to as an offset temperature.
In the endothermic region of DSC analysis, one, or two or more endothermic peaks may be determined, and even when a plurality of endothermic peaks are observed, a range from the temperature of the inflection point of the endothermic peak at the point where the first endothermic peak starts (latent heat region start temperature or start temperature) to the temperature of the inflection point of the endothermic peak at the point where the last endothermic peak ends (latent heat region end temperature or offset) is defined as a latent heat region.
The concepts of latent heat, latent heat zone, onset temperature and offset temperature are equally applicable to phase change materials.
The lower limit of the temperature of the latent heat zone may be about 0 ℃, 5 ℃, 10 ℃, 15 ℃, 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 27 ℃, or 30 ℃, and the upper limit thereof may be about 80 ℃, 78 ℃, 76 ℃, 74 ℃, 72 ℃, 70 ℃, 68 ℃, 66 ℃, 64 ℃, 62 ℃, 60 ℃, 58 ℃, 56 ℃, 54 ℃, 52 ℃, 50 ℃, 48 ℃, 46 ℃, 44 ℃, 42 ℃, or 40 ℃. The latent heat region may be in a range of more than or not less than any of the above lower limits to less than or not more than any of the above upper limits.
In the cured body, the width of the temperature region representing latent heat, i.e., the width of the latent heat region, can be adjusted. The width of the latent heat zone is a value obtained by subtracting the latent heat zone start temperature (start temperature) from the latent heat zone end temperature (offset temperature). The lower limit of the width of the latent heat region may be about 5 ℃, 10 ℃, 15 ℃, 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃ or 35 ℃, and the upper limit thereof may be about 70 ℃, 65 ℃, 60 ℃, 55 ℃, 50 ℃, 45 ℃, 40 ℃, 35 ℃, 30 ℃ or 25 ℃. The width of the latent heat region of the latent heat exhibited by the cured body may be greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits.
In one example, the onset temperature of the latent heat zone in which the solidification body exhibits latent heat may be adjusted. In this case, the definition of the start temperature is the same as described above. The lower limit of the range in which the starting temperature exists may be about 10 ℃, 12 ℃, 14 ℃, 16 ℃, 18 ℃, 20 ℃, 22 ℃, 24 ℃, 26 ℃, or 28 ℃, and the upper limit thereof may be about 60 ℃, 58 ℃, 56 ℃, 54 ℃, 52 ℃, 50 ℃, 48 ℃, 46 ℃, 44 ℃, 42 ℃, 40 ℃, 38 ℃, 36 ℃, 34 ℃, 32 ℃, 30 ℃, 28 ℃, or 26 ℃. The starting temperature may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above upper limits.
In one example, the offset temperature of the latent heat region where the solidified body exhibits latent heat may be adjusted. In this case, the definition of the offset temperature is the same as described above. The lower limit of the range in which the offset temperature exists may be about 30 ℃, 32 ℃, 34 ℃, 36 ℃, 38 ℃, 40 ℃, 42 ℃, 44 ℃, 46 ℃, 48 ℃, or 50 ℃, and the upper limit thereof may be about 80 ℃, 78 ℃, 56 ℃, 74 ℃, 72 ℃, 70 ℃, 68 ℃, 66 ℃, 64 ℃, 62 ℃, 60 ℃, 58 ℃, 56 ℃, 54 ℃, 52 ℃, or 50 ℃. The offset temperature may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above upper limits.
The cured body having latent heat in the temperature range and region is applied to various heat-generating products (particularly, battery modules or battery packs, etc.), whereby the related products can be operated in a stable and uniform temperature range. Further, the cured body is applied to a product including a plurality of elements disposed adjacent to each other, whereby the temperature of the entire product can be uniformly maintained, and the influence of abnormal heat, fire, and/or explosion in any one element on other elements can be minimized or prevented. In particular, the cured body exhibiting latent heat characteristics is applied to a product (for example, a secondary battery cell, or a battery module or a battery pack including a plurality of cells) whose driving temperature must be maintained in a range of about 15 to 60 ℃, whereby heat can be effectively controlled.
The cured body of the present application can stably maintain such latent heat characteristics for a long period of time. In one example, the curable composition may comprise a so-called phase change material (phase change material, PCM) such that the cured body exhibits latent heat characteristics. As the phase change material, a material that absorbs heat while undergoing a phase transition from solid to liquid may be used. Since this material is converted into a liquid phase while exhibiting latent heat, it may be lost from the cured body. Thus, in this case, the latent heat feature may be lost over time. In the present application, even after the phase change material in the cured body is converted into a liquid phase, it is not lost in the cured body by selecting a curable resin component forming the cured body, adjusting the degree of crosslinking, adjusting the type and ratio of the phase change material, and/or adjusting the method for preparing the curable composition, and thus, such latent heat characteristics can be stably maintained for a long period of time.
For example, in the cured body of the present application, Δw of the following formula 1 may be controlled within a predetermined range.
[ 1]
ΔW=100×(W f -W i )/W i
In formula 1, ΔW is the weight change rate (unit%) of the cured product, W f For the weight of the cured body measured after the cured body was kept at 80℃for 24 hours, and W i The weight of the cured body was determined to be the weight of the cured body before the cured body was kept at 80℃for 24 hours. Specific methods for measuring Δw in equation 1 are described in the examples section. Further, the weight (W in the above formula 1 f And W is i ) The units of (a) are not limited as long as the same units are applied to each other.
The upper limit of the weight change rate (Δw) may be about 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1% or 0.5%. The rate of change of weight may be less than any of the above upper limits, or be an upper limit or less. The lower limit of the weight change rate (Δw) is not particularly limited, since this means that the smaller the value thereof, the more stable the phase change material is kept in the solidified body. The lower limit of the weight change rate (Δw) may be, for example, about 0% or 0.5%. The weight change rate (Δw) may be in a range of more than or not less than any of the above lower limits to less than or not more than any of the above upper limits.
In the present application, such latent heat characteristics or weight change characteristics can be achieved without the application of so-called composite materials as phase change materials. Phase change materials exhibit endothermic characteristics that are capable of controlling heat, but generally have poor thermal conductivity. Therefore, it is not easy to transfer the heat to be treated to the phase change material. For this purpose, composite materials are known in which a material having high thermal conductivity (for example, graphite or carbon fiber) is compounded with a phase change material. Such a material may solve the problem of low thermal conductivity to some extent, which is a disadvantage of the phase change material, but is disadvantageous in terms of weight saving because it increases the density or specific gravity of the material. However, in the present application, the problem of reduced heat control efficiency due to low thermal conductivity, which is a disadvantage of the phase change material, can be solved without using the composite phase change material by selecting a curable resin component forming a cured body, adjusting the degree of crosslinking, adjusting the type and ratio of the phase change material, and/or adjusting a method for preparing the curable composition, and thus a lightweight material can be provided.
In the present application, such latent heat characteristics or weight change characteristics may be achieved when using a so-called unpackaged phase change material (i.e. a non-packed phase change material) as the phase change material. That is, the phase change material is typically converted to a liquid during a phase transition process, wherein the phase change material converted to a liquid may easily leak from the solidified body. Therefore, in order to prevent the phase change material from leaking, a phase change material in which the phase change material is encapsulated with a material that does not become a liquid phase is generally used. However, in this case, the phase change material is encapsulated by a material different from the phase change material, so that it is not easy to stably secure the performance of the phase change material. In the present application, as described below, even when a non-encapsulated phase change material is used as the phase change material, the weight change characteristic can be exhibited by controlling the matrix of the solidified body.
In one example, the curable composition may include a non-encapsulated phase change material as the phase change material, and the lower limit of the content of the non-encapsulated phase change material may be about 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt%, 80 wt%, 85 wt%, 90 wt%, or 95 wt%, and the upper limit may be about 100 wt%, 99 wt%, 98 wt%, 97 wt%, 96 wt%, or 95 wt%, based on the weight of the total phase change material present in the curable composition or cured body. The non-encapsulated phase change material may be present in an amount greater than or not less than any of the above lower limits, or less than or not greater than any of the above upper limits, or in a range from greater than or not less than any of the above lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above upper limits.
In one example, the cured body may have a density within a predetermined range. Such a density can be controlled in view of the possibility of providing a light material. For example, the lower limit of the density may be 0.5g/cm 3 、0.55g/cm 3 、0.6g/cm 3 、0.65g/cm 3 、0.7g/cm 3 、0.75g/cm 3 、0.8g/cm 3 、0.85g/cm 3 、0.9g/cm 3 、0.95g/cm 3 、1g/cm 3 、1.05g/cm 3 、1.1g/cm 3 Or 1.15g/cm 3 About, and its upper limit may be 2g/cm 3 、1.8g/cm 3 、1.6g/cm 3 、1.5g/cm 3 、1.45g/cm 3 、1.4g/cm 3 、1.35g/cm 3 、1.3g/cm 3 、1.25g/cm 3 、1.2g/cm 3 、1.15g/cm 3 、1.1g/cm 3 、1.05g/cm 3 、1g/cm 3 Or 0.95g/cm 3 Left and right. The density of the cured body may be greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits.
In this application, the hardness of the cured body can be adjusted. The hardness of the cured body is affected by the degree of crosslinking of the cured body. In general, when the degree of crosslinking is dense, the hardness increases, and conversely, the lower the degree of crosslinking, the lower the hardness measured. In the present application, in consideration of the holding efficiency of the phase change material held in the solidified body, the degree of crosslinking of the solidified body may be adjusted so as to exhibit an appropriate hardness. If the degree of crosslinking is too low and thus the hardness is too low, the phase change material may not be properly held in the cured body, and conversely, if the degree of crosslinking is too high and thus the hardness is too high, the performance of the phase change material may not be properly exhibited.
For example, the lower limit of the hardness of the cured body may be about 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 70, or 80 in terms of shore OO hardness, or about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, or 50 in terms of shore a hardness; the upper limit thereof may be about 90, 85, 80, 75, 70, 65 or 60 in terms of shore OO hardness, or about 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25 or 20 in terms of shore a hardness. The hardness of the cured body may be greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits.
As described above, the hardness of the cured body can be adjusted mainly by controlling the degree of crosslinking or the like, and such a method is known. In the present application, the molecular weight of the curable resin component forming the cured body and the degree of crosslinking of the resin component are controlled so that they may exhibit a hardness in the above-described range, whereby a network capable of stably holding the phase change material may be provided. Further, the hardness in the above range enables the cured body to stably fill a space having a complicated shape, and also can improve vibration resistance and impact resistance.
The curable composition of the present application may comprise a curable resin component. The term curable resin component includes within its scope components capable of forming a resin component after a curing reaction, as well as the case where it is a so-called resin component itself. Thus, the curable resin component may be a single molecule compound, an oligomer compound, or a polymer compound.
In the present application, as the curable resin component, a component having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) within a predetermined range may be used. The weight average molecular weight of the curable resin component affects the phase change material and the maintenance of the crosslinked structure. That is, even at the same or similar degree of crosslinking, if the weight average molecular weight of the curable resin component connecting the crosslinked structure is too low, leakage of the phase change material may occur, so that it may be necessary to ensure an appropriate level of weight average molecular weight. For example, the curable resin component may have a lower limit of weight average molecular weight of about 9,000g/mol, 10,000g/mol, 15,000g/mol, 20,000g/mol, or 25,000g/mol, and an upper limit of about 1,000,000g/mol, 900,000g/mol, 800,000g/mol, 700,000g/mol, 600,000g/mol, 500,000g/mol, 400,000g/mol, 300,000g/mol, 200,000g/mol, 100,000g/mol, 90,000g/mol, 80,000g/mol, 70,000g/mol, 60,000g/mol, 50,000g/mol, 40,000g/mol, or 30,000 g/mol. The curable resin component having such molecular weight characteristics can form a cured body network in which the phase change material can be stably held. In particular, as the resin component having the above molecular weight characteristics, a silicone resin component can be effectively used. The weight average molecular weight may be greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits.
There is no particular limitation on the type of curable resin component. In one example, the curable resin component may include a polyurethane component, a silicone resin component, an acrylic resin component, or an epoxy resin component. The polyurethane component, silicone resin component, acrylic resin component, or epoxy resin component may be polyurethane, silicone resin, acrylic resin, or epoxy resin, or may be a component that forms polyurethane, silicone resin, acrylic resin, or epoxy resin by a curing reaction. The specific type of the applicable curable resin component is not particularly limited, and a curable resin component exhibiting the molecular weight characteristics and/or hardness characteristics as described above may be selected and used among known polyurethane components, silicone resin components, acrylic resin components or epoxy resin components, and the hardness of the final cured product may also be controlled by controlling the degree of crosslinking of the resin component.
For example, when the curable resin component is a silicone resin component, the component is an addition curable silicone resin component, which may include (1) a polyorganosiloxane containing two or more alkenyl groups in the molecule, and (2) a polyorganosiloxane containing two or more silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in the molecule. The compounds may form a cured product by an addition reaction in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., a platinum catalyst).
(1) The polyorganosiloxane contains at least two alkenyl groups. At this time, specific examples of the alkenyl group include vinyl, allyl, butenyl, pentenyl, hexenyl, heptenyl, and the like, and the aforementioned vinyl group is generally applied, but is not limited thereto. In the polyorganosiloxane (1), the bonding position of the alkenyl group is not particularly limited. For example, alkenyl groups may be bonded to the ends of the molecular chain and/or to side chains of the molecular chain. In addition, in the polyorganosiloxane (1), the types of substituents that may be contained in addition to the above alkenyl groups may include: alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, or heptyl; aryl groups such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, or naphthyl; aralkyl groups such as benzyl or phenethyl; and halogen substituted alkyl groups such as chloromethyl, 3-chloropropyl or 3, 3-trifluoropropyl; etc., and the aforementioned methyl or phenyl is generally applied, but is not limited thereto.

The addition-curable or condensation-curable silicone composition described above is one example of a silicone resin component used in the present application.

The lower limit of the content of the curable resin component in the curable composition may be about 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 40 wt%, 45 wt%, 50 wt%, 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt% or 80 wt%, and the upper limit thereof may be about less than 100 wt%, 95 wt%, 90 wt%, 85 wt%, 80 wt%, 75 wt%, 70 wt%, 65 wt%, 60 wt% or 55 wt%, based on the total weight of the curable composition. The content may be greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits. The content is based on the total weight of the curable composition, provided that when the curable composition comprises a filler and/or a solvent, it is a ratio based on the total weight of the curable composition excluding the filler and the solvent.
The curable composition may contain a so-called Phase Change Material (PCM) to ensure the above-mentioned latent heat characteristics. Phase change materials are well known as materials that absorb or release heat during phase transition. The phase transition process is an isothermal process.
The phase transition in which the phase change material absorbs or releases heat may be a solid-to-solid phase transition, a solid-to-liquid phase transition, a solid-to-gas phase transition, or a liquid-to-gas phase transition. The phase change reaction (solid-solid, solid-liquid solid- →gas, liquid- →gas) can be endothermic. Materials having a phase transition from solid to liquid are advantageous in terms of efficiency, but such materials become liquid phase after the phase transition, making it difficult to keep in the cured body. However, the cured body of the present application exhibits the above weight change rate, and thus a material that undergoes a phase transition from solid to liquid can be applied. Thus, the phase change material used in the present application may be a material in which a phase transition occurs between a solid phase and a liquid phase, and may be a material in which a phase transition reaction from the solid phase to the liquid phase may be an endothermic reaction.
The melting point of the phase change material used in the present application may be within a predetermined range. For example, the lower limit of the melting point may be about 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 35 ℃, 40 ℃, 45 ℃ or 50 ℃, and the upper limit may be about 100 ℃, 95 ℃, 90 ℃, 85 ℃, 80 ℃, 75 ℃, 70 ℃, 65 ℃, 60 ℃, 55 ℃, 50 ℃, 45 ℃ or 40 ℃.

The lower limit of the content of the phase change material having the above-described melting point among all phase change materials included in the curable composition of the present application in order to ensure proper temperature control characteristics may be about 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt%, 80 wt%, 85 wt%, 90 wt% or 95 wt%, and the upper limit thereof may be about 100 wt%, 99 wt%, 98 wt%, 97 wt%, 96 wt% or 95 wt%. The content may be greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits.
In another example, the curable composition may also contain only a phase change material having a melting point within the above range as the phase change material.
As the phase change material, a phase change material exhibiting latent heat within a predetermined range at a predetermined temperature region may be used.
For example, the phase change material may exhibit a lower limit of latent heat of about 100J/g, 110J/g, 120J/g, 130J/g, 140J/g, 150J/g, 160J/g, 170J/g, or 180J/g, and an upper limit of about 400J/g, 380J/g, 360J/g, 340J/g, 320J/g, 300J/g, 280J/g, 260J/g, 240J/g, 220J/g, 200J/g, 180J/g, or 160J/g. The latent heat may be greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits.
The lower limit of the temperature region in which the phase change material exhibits latent heat may be about 10 ℃, 15 ℃, 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 35 ℃, 40 ℃, 45 ℃ or 50 ℃, and the upper limit may be about 100 ℃, 95 ℃, 90 ℃, 85 ℃, 80 ℃, 75 ℃, 70 ℃, 65 ℃, 60 ℃, 55 ℃, 50 ℃, 45 ℃ or 40 ℃. The temperature region exhibiting latent heat may be greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-described lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-described upper limits.
The lower limit of the content of the phase change material having the above-described latent heat property among all phase change materials included in the curable composition of the present application in order to secure an appropriate temperature control characteristic may be about 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt%, 80 wt%, 85 wt%, 90 wt% or 95 wt%, and the upper limit thereof may be about 100 wt%, 99 wt%, 98 wt%, 97 wt%, 96 wt% or 95 wt%. The content may be greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits.
In another example, the curable composition may include only a phase change material having the latent heat characteristics described above as the phase change material.
The desired solidified body may be formed by applying a phase change material as described above.
As the phase change material, a known material may be applied as long as it exhibits the above-described characteristics. As the phase change material, an inorganic material, an organic material, or a eutectic material is known. Among these materials, as a material having the above-described latent heat characteristics, an organic phase change material may be used.
As the organic phase change material, a fatty acid or paraffin-based material is known, and in this application, one or a mixture of two or more of the materials may be used.
Examples of the fatty acid include formic acid, n-octanoic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid.
In a suitable example, as phase change material, a paraffin-based material may be used.

In this application, suitable species may be selected and used in known paraffin-based materials.
In the present application, as the phase change material, paraffin wax having a melting point in the above range and a carbon number in the range of 10 to 30 may be used to achieve an appropriate effect. Such paraffin may be an alkane having the above carbon number.
In one example, as the paraffin-based material, one or more selected from n-nonadecane, n-docosane, n-eicosane, n-heneicosane, n-tricosane, n-tetracosane, n-pentacosane, n-hexacosane, n-heptacosane, lauric acid, and myristic acid may be used.
The lower limit of the ratio of the phase change material in the curable composition may be, for example, about 20 parts by weight, 21 parts by weight, 22 parts by weight, 23 parts by weight, 24 parts by weight, or 25 parts by weight, and the upper limit thereof may be about 75 parts by weight, 74 parts by weight, 73 parts by weight, 72 parts by weight, 71 parts by weight, 70 parts by weight, 69 parts by weight, 68 parts by weight, 67 parts by weight, 66 parts by weight, 65 parts by weight, 64 parts by weight, 63 parts by weight, 62 parts by weight, 61 parts by weight, or 60 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the curable resin component. The ratio may be greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits, or may be less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits, or may be in the range of greater than or not less than any of the above-mentioned lower limits to less than or not greater than any of the above-mentioned upper limits.
At this ratio, a desired temperature control performance can be ensured, and such performance can be stably maintained for a long period of time.
The curable composition may include a filler (e.g., a thermally conductive filler) as an optional additional component. Such a filler may compensate for the low thermal conductivity of the phase change material.
The heat conductive filler that can be used is not particularly limited, and for example, an inorganic filler such as aluminum hydroxide (Al (OH) 3 ) Magnesium hydroxide (Mg (OH) 2 ) Calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2 ) Boehmite (AlOOH), hydromagnesite, magnesia, alumina, aluminum nitride (AlN), boron Nitride (BN), silicon nitride (Si) 3 N 4 ) Silicon carbide (SiC), zinc oxide (ZnO), or beryllium oxide (BeO), but is not limited thereto. Can be obtained from the above-mentioned fillersOne or two or more are selected. When a low-density cured body is to be formed, a filler having a small specific gravity (for example, aluminum hydroxide or the like) may be selected among filler components.
Here, the shape of the filler is not particularly limited, and, for example, a spherical filler, a needle-shaped filler, a plate-shaped filler, or other amorphous filler may be used.
In one example, as the filler, a filler having an average particle diameter in the range of 10 μm to 200 μm may be used. The average particle diameter is the D50 particle diameter measured in the manner described in examples to be described below. By applying a filler having such a particle diameter, a desired effect can be ensured more effectively.
In another example, the filler may have a particle size of 15 μm or more, 20 μm or more, 25 μm or more, 30 μm or more, 35 μm or more, or 40 μm or more, or may also be 180 μm or less, 160 μm or less, 140 μm or less, 120 μm or less, 100 μm or less, 80 μm or less, 60 μm or less, or around 50 μm or less.
The amount of thermally conductive filler in the curable composition is adjusted according to the purpose. For example, in the curable composition, the thermally conductive filler may be contained in an amount of about 100 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the curable resin component. In another example, the ratio may be 95 parts by weight or less, 90 parts by weight or less, 85 parts by weight or less, 80 parts by weight or less, 75 parts by weight or less, 70 parts by weight or less, 65 parts by weight or less, 60 parts by weight or less, 55 parts by weight or less, 50 parts by weight or less, 45 parts by weight or less, or 40 parts by weight or less, or may also be 10 parts by weight or more, 15 parts by weight or more, 20 parts by weight or more, 25 parts by weight or more, 30 parts by weight or more, 35 parts by weight or more, or about 40 parts by weight or more.
In view of weight saving, the curable composition may further comprise a hollow filler as an optional additional component.
Weight saving may be facilitated by the use of hollow fillers.
For example, the D50 particle diameter (average particle diameter) of the filler may be in the range of 10 μm to 100 μm. In another example, the D50 particle size may be 12 μm or greater, 14 μm or greater, 16 μm or greater, 18 μm or greater, 20 μm or greater, 22 μm or greater, 24 μm or greater, 26 μm or greater, 28 μm or greater, 30 μm or greater, 32 μm or greater, 34 μm or greater, 36 μm or greater, 38 μm or greater, 40 μm or greater, 42 μm or greater, 44 μm or greater, 46 μm or greater, 48 μm or greater, 50 μm or greater, 52 μm or greater, 54 μm or greater, 56 μm or greater, or 58 μm or greater, or may be 98 μm or less, 96 μm or less, 94 μm or less, 92 μm or less, 90 μm or less, 88 μm or less, 86 μm or greater, 84 μm or greater, 82 μm or greater, 68 μm or less, 74 μm or greater, 74 μm or less, 70 μm or less, 74 μm or greater, 74 μm or less, or 70 μm or less.
The density of the hollow filler may be in the range of about 0.05g/ml to 1 g/ml. In another example, the density may be 0.01g/ml or greater, 0.15g/ml or greater, 0.2g/ml or greater, 0.25g/ml or greater, 0.3g/ml or greater, 0.35g/ml or greater, 0.4g/ml or greater, 0.45g/ml or greater, 0.5g/ml or greater, 0.55g/ml or greater, or 0.6g/ml or greater, or may also be 0.95g/ml or less, 0.9g/ml or less, 0.85g/ml or less, 0.8g/ml or less, 0.75g/ml or less, 0.7g/ml or less, 0.65g/ml or less, 0.6g/ml or less, 0.55g/ml or less, 0.5g/ml or less, 0.45g/ml or less, 0.9g/ml or less, 0.85g/ml or less, 0.8g/ml or less, 0.75g/ml or less, 0.3g/ml or less, 0.15g/ml or less, or 0.15g/ml or less.
Various types may be applied as the hollow filler without particular limitation as long as it has the particle diameter and/or density and can be uniformly mixed with the curable polyorganosiloxane component.
For example, as the hollow filler, a known organic filler, inorganic filler, or organic-inorganic mixed filler can be used. Even when the hollow filler is applied, organic particles in which the shell portion is made of an organic material, inorganic particles made of an inorganic material, and/or organic-inorganic particles made of an organic-inorganic material, or the like can be used. Such particles may be exemplified by acrylic particles such as PMMA (poly (methyl methacrylate)); epoxy particles; nylon particles; styrene particles and/or styrene/vinyl monomer copolymer particles, etc.; or inorganic particles such as silica particles, alumina particles, indium oxide particles, tin oxide particles, zirconium oxide particles, zinc oxide particles, and/or titanium dioxide particles, etc., but are not limited thereto.
In one example, as the hollow filler, particles in which the shell portion is made of a soda lime material (soda lime filler), particles in which the shell portion is made of a soda lime borosilicate material (soda lime borosilicate filler), cenosphere filler, or other silica particles may be used.
When the hollow filler is contained, the ratio is not particularly limited, and may be selected at an appropriate ratio within a range where a desired weight reduction is possible without impairing the physical properties of the cured body.
In addition to the above components, the curable composition may contain other necessary components. For example, the curable composition may contain, in addition to the above-described components, further additives such as a catalyst, a pigment or dye, a dispersant, a thixotropy imparting agent, a flame retardant, and the like, if necessary.
Such curable compositions may be solvent-based, aqueous or solvent-free, and may suitably be solvent-free.
As described above, the curable composition may be a one-part composition or a two-part composition, and in some cases, it may be a main agent part or a curing agent part of a two-part composition, or a mixture of a main agent part and a curing agent part.
Further, when the curable composition is a two-component composition, there is no particular limitation on the ratio of the main agent part and the other components in the curing agent part other than the curable resin component. For example, the phase change material and/or filler may be contained in both the main agent portion and the curing agent portion, or may be contained in the main agent portion and the curing agent portion, respectively.
The curable composition of the present application is suitable for various applications, and in particular, it is applied to heat-generating products, whereby it can be used as a material for controlling heat of the products.
In one example, to meet the latent heat characteristics, weight change rate, density, and/or hardness characteristics described above, a method for preparing the curable composition may be selected.
For example, the curable composition may be prepared by mixing the phase change material and the curable resin component in a state where the phase change material is melted. By this step, the desired curable composition can be provided more effectively.
Thus, the method for preparing the curable composition may include the step of mixing the melted phase change material and the curable resin component, and in particular, may include the step of melting the phase change material and mixing the melted phase change material and the curable resin component.
Here, the method of melting the phase change material is not particularly limited, and for example, the phase change material may be melted by maintaining it at a temperature of the melting point of the phase change material or higher.
In one example, the holding temperature of the phase change material may be a temperature 10 ℃ to 100 ℃ or more above the melting point of the phase change material. In another example, the temperature may be a temperature 15 ℃ or more, 20 ℃ or more, 25 ℃ or more, or 30 ℃ or more above the melting point of the phase change material, and/or a temperature 95 ℃ or less, 90 ℃ or less, 85 ℃ or less, 80 ℃ or less, 75 ℃ or less, 70 ℃ or less, 65 ℃ or less, 60 ℃ or less, 55 ℃ or less, 50 ℃ or less, 45 ℃ or less, 40 ℃ or less, 35 ℃ or less, or 30 ℃ or less below the melting point of the phase change material.

In another example related to the present application, the present application may relate to an electronic device or apparatus having a cured body of a curable composition.

If the temperature is too low, the fluidity of the curable composition deteriorates, or the curing rate of the curable composition after melting is too fast, so that the application may not be easy, whereas if the temperature is too high, damage to the heat-generating product occurs, or the phase-change material having a relatively low density in the curable composition migrates to the surface, so that uneven cured body may also be generated.
The method of applying the melted curable composition to the heat generating component is not particularly limited, and the curable composition may be applied by a known potting process or other process.
Further, if necessary, a step of curing the curable composition after application may be performed, wherein an appropriate method may be selected as the curing method according to the type of the curable composition.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the present application will be described in detail by way of examples, but the scope of the present application is not limited by the following examples.
1. Measurement of latent heat
Latent heat was evaluated in the following manner. Samples of about 3mg to 5mg or so were loaded into a DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) apparatus (TA instruments, model Q200). After the temperature zone of the apparatus for evaluating latent heat was set to-20 to 200 ℃, the heat absorption zone was measured while the temperature was increased at a rate of about 10 ℃/min, and the endothermic peak determined in the heat absorption zone was integrated to calculate latent heat (unit: J/g). The temperature at the inflection point from the left side of the endothermic peak is the latent heat region start temperature (start temperature), and the temperature at the inflection point from the right side start point is the latent heat region end temperature (offset temperature), where the width of the latent heat region is a value obtained by subtracting the start temperature from the offset temperature.
In measuring the latent heat of the phase change material, the relevant phase change material is used as a sample.

The temperature zone of the apparatus was set to-20 ℃ to 200 ℃ and the endothermic peak was determined while raising the temperature at a rate of about 10 ℃/min. The temperature at the peak of the endothermic peak is designated as the melting point of the phase change material.
3. Weight change (DeltaW)
The main agent part and the curing agent part of the curable composition were mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1 to prepare a mixture. The mixture was kept in the chamber at 80 ℃ for about 1 hour and applied to an aluminum pan with a syringe to a thickness of about 10 mm.

Subsequently, the cured body was cut into squares each having a width and a length of 3cm to prepare a sample. A type K thermocouple was attached to the hot plate, and the sample was tightly attached thereto and fixed with tape. Subsequently, the temperature of the hotplate was raised from room temperature to about 35 ℃ at the same rate of rise in about 2 minutes, and after maintaining the temperature of 35 ℃ for about 10 minutes, the temperature was raised to 73 ℃ at the same rate of rise in about 10 minutes.
