Definitions
- a composition for making a polymer, a process for making the polymer, said polymer, the use of the polymer, and an electrically dimmable glazing comprising the polymer
- the present invention relates to a composition for producing a polymer, a method for producing the polymer using the composition, said polymer, the use of the polymer and an electrically dimmable glazing comprising the polymer.
- the curing of monomers and their mixtures is generally accompanied by a volume contraction or an increase in the material density. These changes lead to increased stress in the material and can, especially in the case of laminated glass, lead to end products with defects or areas of insufficient adhesion. In order to solve this problem, the polymerization shrinkage must be reduced during curing.
- a common method for shrinkage reduction is the entry of fillers such as silica (Si0 2 ) particles.
- fillers such as silica (Si0 2 ) particles.
- the shrinkage can be reduced by addition of silica particles to 2.2 to 8.8% [3] .
- An alternative method for reducing shrinkage is the addition of prepolymers to the monomer mixture.
- Prepolymers consist largely of linear oligomers or polymers of the cured monomer, which increase the density of the mon ergemi cal and thus can reduce the shrinkage after the polymerization.
- the greater the proportion of prepolymer selected the lower the shrinkage.
- the viscosity of the monomer increases also unfavorably. This leads to problems in the promotion of the mixture and can lead in extreme cases to a gelation, a severely limited processability and in extreme cases to the damage of production facilities.
- expanding monomers Another method, which is often used to reduce the polymer shrinkage according to the prior art, is the use of so-called "expanding monomers. " [4] These often consist of ring systems which are processed by ring-opening polymerization The advantage of this method is that the resulting polymer chains have a larger volume than the monomers, which in theory results in a positive shrinkage (expansion) of the cured However, this requires special monomers, which must be individually adapted to the field of application and thus are difficult to obtain. The method of "expanding monomers” is therefore not a widely used method and it is due to the chemical properties of the monomers and the resulting bound resulting polymers. Polyacrylates and polystyrene can not be prepared by the above methodology.
- Another approach for reducing the shrinkage of a monomer mixture between 2 glass panes consists of the partial curing of the monomer mixture. After short-term curing repeated casting resin mixture was injected between the glass sheets and then completely cured. This method reduces the stresses in the material and prevents the film from detaching from the glass surface. In this case, however, a significant additional effort must be operated, since this partial curing is not automated and associated with high costs.

- Acrylates and other polymers are known from EP 1 283 436 of BASF AG and DE 695 28 148 and DE 44 17 219 of FLACHGLAS AG / FLABEG / EControl glass and EP 2093 270 from EControl-Glas.
- Ion-conductive films are often referred to in the literature as polymeric ionic conductors. Both names ("ion-conductive film” and "polymeric ionic conductor”) are equivalent and synonymous.
- Example 1 according to the invention is an example of a polymeric ion conductor which is suitable for an ion-conductive film for the production of switchable glasses according to the abovementioned structure.
- the present invention relates to the preparation and use of a resin which, in the transition from the liquid Monom mixture to the cured polymer has a significantly lower shrinkage than that mentioned in the prior art and at the same time has a low viscosity.
- Also disclosed in this invention is a new type of filler (prepolymer) that does not appreciably affect the properties of the polymer after curing
- composition according to the invention causes the reduction of the polymer shrinkage of a casting resin mixture during the curing process (polymerization).
- branched prepolymers for example polyacrylates, which can be prepared by the "Strathclyde method” developed by Sherrington, the shrinkage of a casting resin mixture (monomer mixture) can be considerably reduced, it being noted that the viscosity of the casting resin mixture is low increases compared to linear prepolymers of comparable molecular weight.
- branched prepolymers are added.
- branched polymers thus produced are now added as additives in the preparation of polymeric materials. If branched polymers (prepared, for example, from n-butyl acrylate by the Strathclyde method) in mixture with monomeric n-butyl acrylate are used, the volume shrinkage during the polymerization can be reduced to 4%, while the volume shrinkage for pure n-butyl acrylate is approx. 11% (see Example 1).
- the viscosity of the monomer mixture is not increased as much when using branched polymers as compared to the use of linear prepolymers. This is due to the form factor ⁇ .
- the viscosity of a polymer solution is described by the Mark-Houwink equation
- ⁇ describes the viscosity of the polymer solution and M the molar mass of the dissolved polymer.
- K is a substance-specific factor, as is a, the polymer-specific form factor. For linear polymers this form factor is 0.72.
- Branched polymers have a lower form factor, depending on the degree of branching. This leads to a reduction in the viscosity when adding branched polymers in contrast to linear polymers with the same molecular weight.
- the monomer mixture used also has a lower viscosity compared to the conventionally used linear prepolymers.
- An essential aspect of the invention is therefore the use of branched prepolymers as additives in monomer mixtures for reducing the polymer shrinkage, wherein at the same time by the use of the branched prepolymers only a slight increase in viscosity occurs, which allows the processing and flowability of the resin.
- FIG. 1 shows the intrinsic viscosity as a function of the molar mass of the polymers. It is noticeable that the curve of the linear polystyrene increases more strongly in comparison to the branched polystyrene.
- this invention has the following advantages:
- volume shrinkage of a monomer mixture during curing is significantly reduced.
- the viscosity of the resin mixture remains low and can thus be used and pumped on an industrial scale.
