Description

  The present invention relates to a method for modifying the surface of a resin substrate, and more specifically, the surface of a target is modified by attaching a vacuum ultraviolet light exposure and scattered particles generated by irradiating a laser beam to the surface of the substrate. Regarding the method.

  In recent years, various techniques for activating a substrate surface by irradiating the surface of the substrate made of resin, metal, or the like with X-rays, ultraviolet rays, or vacuum ultraviolet rays have been developed. Among them, as a method that can be modified by adhering scattered particles immediately after activating the substrate surface, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-2962 (Patent Document 1) uses laser light on the surface of a target. There is a method for surface modification of a substrate using so-called laser ablation, in which vacuum ultraviolet light is generated together with scattered particles and the scattered particles are adhered to the surface of the substrate while being irradiated with the vacuum ultraviolet light. It is disclosed. In the substrate surface modification method described in Patent Document 1, the surface of the substrate is modified in a vacuum state or in a shield gas atmosphere.

However, in the conventional method for modifying the surface of a substrate as described in Patent Document 1, when the surface of the substrate is modified in a vacuum state, evacuation is required and batch processing is performed. Therefore, it is not always sufficient from the viewpoint of processing speed. Further, in the conventional substrate surface modification method as described in Patent Document 1, even when the substrate surface is modified in a shielding gas atmosphere, it is not always sufficient from the viewpoint of processing speed. It was.
JP 2004-2962 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and it is not necessary to perform surface modification treatment of the resin base material in a batch system, and the resin base material is 300 mm / min or more under atmospheric pressure. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for modifying the surface of a resin substrate that can efficiently and reliably modify the surface of the resin substrate at a sufficient processing speed while being moved at a high movement speed.

  As a result of intensive research to achieve the above object, the inventors of the present invention have made the shape of the laser light irradiated on the surface of the target to be a predetermined substantially elliptical shape, By processing in a predetermined shielding gas atmosphere while moving in the direction, there is no need to perform a surface modification treatment of the resin base material in a batch system, and the resin base material is very fast at 300 mm / min or more under atmospheric pressure. It has been found that the surface of the resin substrate can be efficiently and reliably modified at a sufficient processing speed while moving at a moving speed, and the present invention has been completed.

That is, the method for modifying the surface of a resin substrate according to the present invention generates a vacuum ultraviolet light and scattered particles having a wavelength of 50 nm to 100 nm by irradiating the surface of a target with laser light, and the vacuum ultraviolet light is generated on the surface of the resin substrate. A surface modification method for a resin base material that adheres the scattered particles while irradiating
The laser light is applied to the surface of the target so that the shape of the irradiation light formed on the surface of the target is a substantially elliptical shape whose width in the major axis direction is 1.5 to 10 times the width in the minor axis direction. While irradiating, the resin base material is adjusted so that the opening angle between the direction perpendicular to the major axis direction and the moving direction of the resin base material is within 10 ° on a plane parallel to the surface of the target. The scattering particles are adhered to the surface of the resin base material while being irradiated with the vacuum ultraviolet light in a shielding gas atmosphere having an oxygen amount of 8% by volume or less.

  The reason why the above object is achieved by the surface modification method for a resin base material of the present invention is not necessarily clear, but the present inventors speculate as follows. That is, first, in the processing using laser ablation, the distribution of the scattering direction of the scattering particles from the target and the coarsening of the particles due to the collision of the scattering particles largely depend on the condensing shape and the condensing size of the laser light irradiated to the target. To do. As the laser light collection size increases, the collision probability of scattered particles increases, and the velocity components other than the direction perpendicular to the substrate surface are offset, and the scattered particles are scattered in the direction perpendicular to the substrate surface. Probability increases. Since VUV light is radiated from the light source evenly, it is not necessary to consider the condensing shape. Therefore, when the target surface is irradiated with laser light in a substantially elliptical shape, the velocity component of the scattered particles in the major axis direction becomes small, whereas there is almost no cancellation due to collision, so that the scattering in the minor axis direction The velocity component of particles is unlikely to be small, and scattered particles scatter with a relatively wide angular distribution in the minor axis direction. Accordingly, the shape of the laser light irradiated onto the surface of the target (irradiation light shape) is set to be substantially elliptical with the width in the major axis direction being 1.5 to 10 times the width in the minor axis direction. By moving the resin base as described above, it is possible to uniformly deposit an appropriate amount of scattered particles on the surface of the resin base while reducing the number of scattered particles in unnecessary directions.

  Here, the substantially elliptical shape in the present invention is a shape including an elliptical shape and a line segment shape in which the width in the major axis direction is 1.5 to 10 times (more preferably 2 to 6 times) the width in the minor axis direction. It is. In the substantially elliptical shape, when the width in the major axis direction is less than 1.5 times the width in the minor axis direction, the angular distribution of scattered particles in a direction perpendicular to the target surface and including the major axis becomes wide. Increasing the processing speed will cause uneven density depending on the location, making it difficult to attach a sufficient amount of scattered particles to all areas to be processed, while exceeding 10 times includes the long axis perpendicular to the target surface The angular distribution of scattered particles in the in-plane direction becomes small, but the angular distribution of the scattered particles in the plane perpendicular to the target surface and including the minor axis becomes too wide, and the unevenness of the particle concentration in the moving direction decreases, but the vertical The width in which the directional particles are distributed becomes too narrow, the longitudinal movement distance becomes extremely short, and the overall processing speed is rather slow.

  The scattered particles from the target also collide with atmospheric gas molecules before reaching the surface of the resin substrate. For this reason, when the atmospheric gas molecules are heavy, the rate of decay due to the collision increases, and the probability that the scattered particles do not reach the surface of the resin base material increases. Therefore, in order to sufficiently suppress the decrease in the scattering speed of the scattered particles, it is necessary to sufficiently suppress the influence caused by the collision between the scattered particles and the atmospheric gas molecules. In addition, when the main component of the atmospheric gas molecule is helium, but one of the other components is oxygen, the transmittance of vacuum ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 50 nm to 100 nm is reduced, and the vacuum sufficient for processing is achieved. No ultraviolet light is irradiated. Therefore, in the present invention, by performing the treatment in a shield gas atmosphere in which the oxygen amount is 8% by volume or less, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the decrease in the scattering speed of the scattering particles, while increasing the transmittance of vacuum ultraviolet light. Improve sufficiently and irradiate the surface of the resin base material with a sufficient amount of vacuum ultraviolet light to activate the surface of the resin base material more efficiently and move the resin base material at a speed of 300 mm / min or more. The treatment is performed while moving at a speed, and the surface of the resin substrate can be efficiently and reliably modified. The oxygen amount is more preferably 4% by volume or less.

Here, the vacuum ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 50 nm to 100 nm means vacuum ultraviolet light having at least a part of wavelengths in the wavelength region of 50 nm to 100 nm, and satisfying at least one of the following conditions: Preferably it is.
(i) having at least one peak of light intensity in a wavelength region of 50 nm to 100 nm;
(ii) the total energy of light in the wavelength region of 50 nm to 100 nm is higher than the total energy of light in the wavelength region of 100 nm to 150 nm;
(iii) The total energy of light in the wavelength region of 50 nm to 100 nm is higher than the total energy of light in the wavelength region of 50 nm or less.
(iv) The energy density of light in the wavelength region of 50 nm to 100 nm is 0.1 μJ / cm on the substrate.
^{2 to} 10 mJ / cm ² (more preferably 1 μJ / cm ^{2 to} 100 μJ / cm ² ).
In addition, when the energy density on the substrate is lower than 0.1 μJ / cm ² , the time required for the treatment tends to be excessively long. On the other hand, when the energy density is higher than 10 mJ / cm ^{2, the} substrate is decomposed. There is a tendency.

  In the present invention, the resin may be formed so that an opening angle between a direction perpendicular to the major axis direction and a movement direction of the resin base material is within 10 ° on a plane parallel to the surface of the target. Move the substrate. When such an opening angle exceeds 10 °, the positional relationship between the resin base material and the target changes abruptly when the scattered particles are attached, and the amount of the scattered particles attached to the surface of the resin base material becomes uneven. That is, by moving the resin base material at the opening angle, the positional relationship between the resin base material and the target does not fluctuate rapidly, and while the resin base material is moved, the scattered particles are uniformly distributed on the surface. The surface of the resin base material can be modified with sufficient processing speed.

In the surface modification method of a resin base material of the present invention, so that the opening angle θ of the perpendicular direction L ₁ of the surface of the incident direction and the target 13 of the laser beam L shown in FIG. 1 is 50 to 85 ° It is preferable to arrange the target 13 on the surface. When the opening angle θ is less than the lower limit, when the laser beam is irradiated, the major axis direction width of the irradiation light tends to be less than 1.5 times the minor axis direction width, and on the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded. The width in the major axis direction of the irradiation light shape tends to exceed 10 times the width in the minor axis direction. That is, when irradiating a circular laser beam, the target is arranged in this manner, so that the shape of the irradiation light formed on the surface of the target can be more efficiently changed to the substantially elliptical shape.

  In the resin substrate surface modification method of the present invention, the distance between the center of gravity of the irradiation light shape formed on the surface of the target and the surface of the resin substrate may be 10 to 100 mm. Preferably, the thickness is 10 to 50 mm. If the distance is less than 10 mm, the distance between the target and the resin base material is too short, and it is difficult to deposit scattered particles uniformly on the surface of the resin base material due to the influence of plasma and other phenomena such as reablation. On the other hand, if it exceeds 100 mm, the distance between the target and the resin base material is too long, making it difficult to efficiently deposit scattered particles on the surface of the resin base material, and the processing speed decreases. Tend to.

  In the resin substrate surface modification method of the present invention, it is preferable that a speed of moving the resin substrate is 300 mm / min or more. By moving the resin base material at such a speed, the resin base material tends to be processed at a more sufficient processing speed while scattering particles are uniformly deposited on the surface of the resin base material. Further, the speed at which such a resin base material is moved is more preferably 300 mm / min to 10000 mm / min in consideration of the output of a laser apparatus that currently exists.

In the resin substrate surface modification method of the present invention, the laser beam has a pulse width of 100 picoseconds to 100 nanoseconds and an irradiation intensity of 10 ⁶ W / cm ² to 10 ¹² W / cm ^2. Laser light is preferred. By adopting such pulsed laser light and irradiating the target with this, high temperature plasma is formed on the target surface, and vacuum ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 50 nm to 100 nm tends to be generated more efficiently from the plasma. .

  According to the present invention, it is not necessary to perform the surface modification treatment of the resin base material in a batch system, and the surface of the resin base material is moved while moving the resin base material at an extremely high moving speed of 300 mm / min or more under atmospheric pressure. It is possible to provide a method for modifying the surface of a resin substrate that can uniformly deposit scattered particles, and that can efficiently and reliably modify the surface of the resin substrate at a sufficient processing speed. Become.

Occurs.

Moreover, it does not restrict | limit especially as the reflecting plate 10, A well-known reflecting plate (for example, mirror etc.) can be used suitably. Further, the condensing lens 11 is not particularly limited, but is a condensing lens capable of setting the irradiation intensity of the pulsed laser light L applied to the target 13 to 10 ⁶ W / cm ² to 10 ¹² W / cm ^2. It is preferable that a condensing lens that can be set to 10 ⁸ W / cm ² to 10 ¹⁰ W / cm ² is particularly preferable. In the present embodiment, the condenser lens 11 is arranged so that the opening angle between the lens surface of the condenser lens 11 and the optical path of the laser light L is 90 °.

  The target driving device 12 enables the laser beam L to be rotated and translated so that the same position on the surface of the target 13 is repeatedly irradiated so as not to dig a hole. The target driving device 12 is not particularly limited, and a known device can be used as appropriate. In the present embodiment, a fresh surface (a laser light non-irradiated surface) of the target 13 is sequentially fed out to the irradiation position of the laser light L by the target driving device 12.

  The target 13 is made of a material that generates scattered particles containing metal atoms and / or carbon atoms suitable for modifying the surface of the resin base material 15 by irradiation with the laser beam L described above. As such a material, at least one material is selected from the group consisting of various metals, metal compounds, and carbon. As such a metal material, various transition element metals, typical element metals, metalloids, or alloys thereof can be used, for example, Cu, Al, Ti, Si, Cr, Pt, Au, Ag, Pd, Zr, Mg, Ni, Fe, Co, Zn, Sn, W, Be, Ge, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ta, Hf, alloys containing them as main components, etc., among others, Cu, Al Ti, Si, and Zn are preferable.

Further, the shape of the irradiation light of the target 13 with the laser light L formed on the surface of the target 13 is a substantially elliptical shape whose width in the major axis direction is 1.5 to 10 times the width in the minor axis direction. preferably be placed in an opening angle θ of the perpendicular L ₁ direction of the surface of the incident direction and the target 13 of the laser beam L shown in FIG. 1 so as to be 50 to 85 °, the opening angle θ is 65 to 75 ° It is more preferable to arrange them as follows. When the opening angle θ is less than the lower limit, when the laser beam is irradiated, the major axis direction width of the irradiation light tends to be less than 1.5 times the minor axis direction width, and on the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded. The width in the major axis direction of the irradiation light shape tends to exceed 10 times the width in the minor axis direction.

  Further, as the resin base material driving device 14, the opening angle between the direction perpendicular to the major axis direction and the moving direction of the resin base material 15 is within 10 ° on a plane parallel to the surface of the target 13. What makes it possible to move the resin base material 15 as described above can be used as appropriate.

  It does not restrict | limit especially as the resin base material 15, It determines suitably by the use etc. of the product obtained. Examples of the resin constituting the resin substrate 15 include olefin resins {polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, polypentene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-butene copolymer, polybutadiene, polyisoprene, hydrogenated polybutadiene, water. Polyisoprene, ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer, ethylene-butene-diene copolymer, polymethylpentene, etc.}, butyl rubber, polyester, polycarbonate, polyacetal, polyamide, aromatic polyamide, polyamideimide, polyetherimide , Polyphenylene ether, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether sulfone, polyether ketone, polyphthalamide, polyether nitrile, polybenzimidazole, polycarbodiimide, acrylic resin Methyl (meth) acrylate, poly (meth) acrylamide, etc.}, acrylic rubber, fluororesin {poly-4-fluorinated ethylene, etc.}, fluororubber, liquid crystal polymer, epoxy resin, melamine resin, urea resin, diallyl phthalate resin, phenol resin, Polysilane, silicone resin (polysiloxane, etc.), silicone rubber, urethane resin, styrene resin {polystyrene, styrene-butadiene copolymer, styrene-hydrogenated butadiene copolymer, etc.], polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, Examples of the resin base material include polymers (homopolymers or copolymers) such as polyvinylidene chloride, saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyvinyl acetate, and laminates thereof.

In addition, such resin base materials may be dyes, pigments, fibrous reinforcements, particulate reinforcements, plasticizers, flame retardants, heat stabilizers, antioxidants, weather resistance imparting agents, antistatic agents as necessary. An appropriate amount of additives such as a transparency improver may be contained.

  The shape and thickness of the resin base material 15 are not particularly limited, and a film shape, a plate shape, a molded body having various shapes, and the like are appropriately selected depending on the use of the product to be obtained. In addition, when the resin base material 15 is a resin film, although the thickness is suitably selected according to the use etc. of the product obtained, generally 3 micrometers-about 1 mm are preferable, and about 10 micrometers-1 mm are more preferable.

  The positional relationship between the resin base material 15 and the target 13 is not particularly limited so that the surface of the resin base material 15 is reliably irradiated with the vacuum ultraviolet light generated from the surface of the target 13 and the scattered particles adhere efficiently.

  The gas nozzle 16 supplies a shielding gas to an area covered with the gas shield 17. Such a gas nozzle 16 is connected to a gas cylinder for introducing shield gas (not shown). As such a shielding gas, hydrogen gas, helium gas, neon gas, or the like can be used as appropriate, and hydrogen or helium is preferably used. When hydrogen or helium is used as the shielding gas, the reduction in the scattering speed of scattered particles tends to be more efficiently suppressed. Moreover, it is more preferable to use helium among such shielding gases. By using helium as the shielding gas, it is possible to efficiently suppress a decrease in the scattering rate and to improve the transmittance of vacuum ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 50 nm to 100 nm. Further, the gas shield 17 is not particularly limited as long as it can make the vicinity of the target 13 and the resin base material 15 into a shield gas atmosphere having an oxygen amount of 8% by volume or less when performing processing. .

  As such a shielding gas atmosphere, a shielding gas atmosphere having an oxygen amount of 6% by volume or less (more preferably 4% by volume or less) is more preferable. By adhering the scattered particles to the surface of the resin base material in a shielding gas atmosphere having an oxygen content of 6% by volume or less, a decrease in the scattering speed of the scattered particles can be more sufficiently suppressed and the vacuum ultraviolet light The transmittance can be improved more sufficiently, and the processing speed tends to be improved.

  Using such an apparatus, the surface of the target 13 is irradiated with the laser light L to generate vacuum ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 50 nm to 100 nm and scattered particles a, and the surface of the resin substrate 15 is irradiated with the vacuum ultraviolet light. By attaching the scattered particles a, it is not necessary to perform the surface modification treatment of the resin base material 15 in a batch mode, and the resin base material 15 is moved at a very high moving speed of 300 mm / min or more under atmospheric pressure. The scattered particles a can be deposited on the surface of the resin base material 15, and the surface of the resin base material 15 can be modified efficiently and reliably at a sufficient processing speed.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of the surface modification method of the resin base material of this invention was described, the surface modification method of the resin base material of this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.

  For example, in this embodiment, the shape of the laser beam condensed on the surface of the resin base material 15 is adjusted by installing the target 13 so that the opening angle θ shown in FIG. 1 is 50 to 85 °. However, in the present invention, the method for adjusting the condensing shape is not particularly limited, and the irradiation light shape may be adjusted to a substantially elliptical shape using a special lens, or the arrangement of the condensing lens 11 may be adjusted. The irradiation light shape may be adjusted to a substantially elliptical shape by changing the way.

  EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although this invention is demonstrated more concretely based on an Example and a comparative example, this invention is not limited to a following example.

(Examples 1 to 22 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7)
The surface modification of the resin substrate was performed using a resin substrate surface modification apparatus that can be suitably used for the resin substrate surface modification method of the present invention shown in FIG. That is, the laser beam L having a wavelength of 1064 nm, a pulse width of 7 ns, an energy of 1.84 J, and a repetition rate of 10 Hz from a Spectra Physics パ ル ス pulse YAG laser device is condensed by using a condenser lens 11 having a focal length of 200 mm. Irradiation was performed on the surface, and vacuum ultraviolet light assisted laser ablation processing (hereinafter referred to as “VALA processing”) was performed on the resin base material 15. The laser irradiation intensity (E) was 2.34 × 10 ⁻⁹ W / cm ² . Such irradiation intensity (E) was obtained from the following equation.
E = 1.84 / (3.14 × 0.13 × 0.275 × 7 × 10 ⁻⁹ ) = 2.34 × 10 ⁻⁹ (W / cm ² )
A disk-shaped carbon having a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 5 mm was used as the target 13, and a polypropylene plate (manufactured by Nippon Polychem) was used as the resin base material 15. Moreover, the incident angle of the laser beam L was changed by changing the inclination of the target 13, and the opening angle θ shown in FIG. 1 was changed between 30 ° and 85 °. Thus, the irradiation light shape formed on the surface of the target 13 in each example and each comparative example is the ratio of the width in the minor axis direction to the width in the major axis direction (width in the major axis direction / width in the minor axis direction). The width was an elliptical shape having a ratio as shown in Table 1 or Table 2. Furthermore, the area of the irradiated light was set to 0.12 to 0.16 cm ² by moving the condenser lens 11 up and down with respect to the inclination of the target 13. In addition, the resin base material 15 was disposed at a position where the distance between the center of gravity of the irradiation light shape formed on the surface of the target 13 and the surface of the resin base material 15 was 30 mm apart. The target 13 was rotated at a speed of about one rotation per minute by using the target driving device 12 (motor) so that the laser irradiation part was as fresh as possible. Further, a pulse motor is used as the resin base material driving device 14, and the opening angle between the direction perpendicular to the major axis direction and the moving direction of the resin base material 15 on a surface substantially parallel to the surface of the target 13. The resin base material 15 was moved so as to be 0 °. Table 1 or Table 2 shows the moving speed of the resin base material 15 in each example and each comparative example.

  Helium was used as the shielding gas, and the atmosphere of the VALA treatment was changed to a helium atmosphere by upward replacement. The residual oxygen concentration contained in the atmospheric gas was measured with a digital oximeter (XPO-318) manufactured by Shin Cosmos Electric. In Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, VALA treatment was performed in a helium gas atmosphere having an oxygen amount of 4% by volume. In Examples 16 to 22 and Comparative Examples 6 to 7, as shown in Table 2. The VALA treatment was performed by changing the oxygen amount between 2 and 10% by volume.

(Examples 23 to 26)
PC-6 manufactured by Nippon Polypro Co., Ltd. is used as the resin base material 15, the moving speed of the resin base material 15 is set to the moving speed shown in Table 3, the opening angle θ shown in FIG. The distance between the center of gravity of the formed irradiation light shape and the resin substrate 15 is 25 mm, and the width of the major axis of the irradiation light shape formed on the surface of the target 13 is about 2.1, which is the width of the short axis. The resin base material was subjected to VALA treatment in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the width of the long axis was 5.5 mm and the width of the short axis was 2.6 mm.

[Adhesion of paint]
<Initial adhesion>
After spray coating was performed on the resin substrates after VALA treatment obtained in Examples 1 to 26 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7, a cross-cut peel test was performed to evaluate the initial adhesion of the paint. In the spray coating, the VALA-treated resin base material obtained in each of the examples and comparative examples was allowed to stand for one day, and then cleared with Kansai Paint's metallic base paint SOFLEX420TUC-1C0 (# 1C0). The paint SFX500TL was applied by air spraying, baked for 20 minutes at a temperature of 90 ° C., and then left for 1 day to form a coating film (film thickness: 45 μm). Further, the cross-cut peel test was performed according to JIS K5400. Furthermore, regarding Examples 23 to 26, two samples were prepared, respectively, and a cross-cut peel test was performed twice. The initial adhesion of the paint was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. The obtained results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.
<Adhesion evaluation criteria>
◯: The number of peeled is 0. Δ: The number of peeled is in the range of 1/100 to 9/100. X: The number of peeled is 10/100 or more.

<Water resistance>
In addition, regarding Examples 23 to 26, the obtained samples were allowed to stand in a water bath at a temperature of 40 ° C. for 10 days, and then subjected to a cross-cut peel test in accordance with JIS K5400 to evaluate water resistance. Two samples were prepared, respectively, and a cross-cut peel test was performed twice. The evaluation criteria are the same as the above <Evaluation criteria for adhesion>. The obtained results are shown in Table 3.

  Table 1 is a table showing the relationship between the substrate moving speed and the paint adhesion when the irradiation light shapes are different, and Table 2 is a table showing the relationship between the oxygen capacity in the processing atmosphere and the paint adhesion. Table 3 is a table showing the relationship between the base material moving speed and the paint adhesion under more preferable processing conditions.

  As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, the moving speed of the resin substrate is set to a high speed of 300 mm / min or more by setting the width in the major axis direction to 1.5 times or more the width in the minor axis direction. Even in this case, it was confirmed that the surface modification of the resin base material can be sufficiently performed. Further, it was confirmed that the processing speed can be increased as the width in the major axis direction is larger than the width in the minor axis direction.
