Definitions

• the invention relates to single-sided or double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive films for use in the bonding of glass windows in consumer electronics goods.
• the tape should avoid splintering of the glass window in the electronic device in case of improper handling or heavy impact.
• plastic windows are used very often.
• a known example is e.g. PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant; Pocket Computer).
• plastic windows are often used as glasses.
• the plastic systems have some advantages. So you are e.g. cost-effective, lightweight, unbreakable and easy to handle. However, these plastic windows also have disadvantages. So you are e.g. not scratch resistant in daily use and also have only average brilliance due to the limited refractive index. Therefore, glass windows in consumer electronics goods are increasingly being tested as windows. In addition to the higher transparency and brilliance due to the higher refractive index, the breakage risk still remains.
• PVB film polyvinyl butyral film
• the object of the invention is therefore to provide a splinter protection for glass windows, in particular for the consumer electronics industry, while avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art.
• the object is achieved surprisingly and unpredictably by a highly transparent single or double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive film with high pressure-sensitive adhesive properties on glass, as shown in the main claim.
• the single-sided or double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive film acts as splinter protection, and the glass fragments stick to the pressure-sensitive adhesive film.
• the single- or double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive film should be highly transparent and thus not adversely affect the optical properties of the glass window.
• T ( ⁇ ) + p ( ⁇ ) + a ( ⁇ ) 1
• T ( ⁇ ) describes the fraction of the transmitted light
• p ( ⁇ ) the fraction of the reflected light
• a ( ⁇ ) the fraction of the absorbed light
• X wavelength
• Optical components designed for transmission should be characterized by values of T ( ⁇ ) close to unity. This is achieved by reducing p ( ⁇ ) and a ( ⁇ ) in magnitude.
• Acrylate copolymer and acrylate block copolymer-based pressure-sensitive adhesives normally have no appreciable absorption in the visible range, ie in the wavelength range between 400 nm and 700 nm. This can be easily checked by measurements with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Of crucial interest is therefore p ( ⁇ ). Reflection is an interface phenomenon that depends on the refractive indices n d , ⁇ of two contacting phases i according to the Fresnel equation
• the concrete application relates to the full-surface bonding of a glass window with a single-sided or double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive film for use in consumer electronic components as splinter protection.
• One-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes offer only a splinter protection.
• double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes have the further advantage that, in addition to the splinter protection, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can also be used for fixing purposes.
• the adhesive should be highly transparent, so that the transparency of the glass window is only slightly reduced. This can be achieved in accordance with the above, by minimizing the levels of absorbed and reflected light. Therefore, there is a need to match the refractive index of the pressure-sensitive adhesive and the carrier to that of the glass window.
• the PSAs must have a relatively low glass transition temperature due to their inherent tackiness. This limits the proportion of aromatics (the glass transition temperature is increased by high amounts of aromatics), so that a maximum refractive index can not be achieved via high aromatic components in the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
• the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating is advantageously for one-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes between 10 and 150 g / m 2 , more preferably between 20 and 100 g / m 2 .
• the PSA coating according to the invention is advantageously for double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes between 5 and 100 g / m 2 , more preferably between 10 and 75 g / m 2 per side.
• acrylate block copolymers can be used as pressure-sensitive adhesives.
• acrylate block copolymers In the case of the acrylate block copolymers, a large number of monomers can be used for the synthesis of a high-refractive-index pressure-sensitive adhesive, so that a wide range of pressure-sensitive adhesive properties can be set by the chemical composition; Furthermore, there is the advantage that highly cohesive PSA layers can be produced without additional crosslinking steps in the process.

Here, however, the segregation can take place only limited, since the blocks are chemically bonded together. It comes to the formation of so-called domains (phases), in which several similar blocks together.
