Description

本発明は、ビニルエーテル共重合体に関し、更に詳しくは、電気電子材料や光学材料樹脂として好適な、側鎖に脂環式骨格と脂肪族骨格を有する新規なビニルエーテル共重合体に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a vinyl ether copolymer, and more particularly to a novel vinyl ether copolymer having an alicyclic skeleton and an aliphatic skeleton in a side chain, which is suitable as an electric electronic material or an optical material resin.

近年、脂環式骨格を有するアクリレート類やエポキシ樹脂の、透明樹脂、接着剤、コーティング材やフォトレジスト用樹脂としての使用が検討されている。   In recent years, the use of acrylates and epoxy resins having an alicyclic skeleton as transparent resins, adhesives, coating materials and photoresist resins has been studied.

しかしながら、アクリレート類やエポキシ樹脂は、皮膚刺激性や臭気といった作業上、環境上の問題があるばかりか、保存安定性に難があり、又、アクリル樹脂はその吸湿性に由来する寸法安定性に問題があるため、これら諸問題の改善手段として、脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテル系化合物が注目されている。   However, acrylates and epoxy resins not only have environmental problems in terms of skin irritation and odor, but also have difficulty in storage stability, and acrylic resins have dimensional stability due to their hygroscopicity. Since there are problems, vinyl ether compounds having an alicyclic skeleton have attracted attention as means for improving these problems.

上記ビニルエーテル系化合物の重合体としては、例えば特開01−102501号公報には、側鎖にノルボルニル基やアダマンチル基のような脂環式骨格を有するポリビニルエーテルと、ポリ(ネオペンペンチルビニルエーテル)とのブレンドポリマー、或いは、側鎖にノルボルニル基やジメタノデカヒドロナフチル基、アダマンチル基などの脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテルとネオペンチルビニルエーテルとの共重合体が開示されており、又、例えば特開平01−102502号公報には、側鎖にノルボルニル基やジメタノデカヒドロナフチル基、アダマンチル基などの脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテルポリマー、或いは、アダマンチルビニルエーテルとイソブチルビニルエーテルの共重合体など、側鎖に脂環式骨格と脂肪族骨格を有する共重合体が開示されている。又、これらのビニルエーテルポリマー及び共重合体は、そのガラス転移温度(Tg)が105℃乃至200℃と高く、光透過性にも優れ、且つ吸水性が低いことから、光学用成形体として好適であることが示されている。   Examples of the polymer of the vinyl ether compound include, for example, JP-A-01-102501, polyvinyl ether having an alicyclic skeleton such as norbornyl group or adamantyl group in the side chain, poly (neopentpentyl vinyl ether), Or a copolymer of a vinyl ether having an alicyclic skeleton such as norbornyl group, dimethanodecahydronaphthyl group, adamantyl group or the like in the side chain and neopentyl vinyl ether is disclosed. No. 01-102502 discloses a vinyl ether polymer having an alicyclic skeleton such as a norbornyl group, dimethanodecahydronaphthyl group, and adamantyl group in the side chain, or a copolymer of adamantyl vinyl ether and isobutyl vinyl ether in the side chain. Has an alicyclic skeleton and an aliphatic skeleton Copolymers is disclosed that. In addition, these vinyl ether polymers and copolymers have high glass transition temperatures (Tg) of 105 ° C. to 200 ° C., excellent light transmittance, and low water absorption, so that they are suitable as optical moldings. It is shown that there is.

特開平01−102501号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 01-102501 特開平01−102502号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 01-102502

このように、側鎖にノルボルニル基やジメタノデカヒドロナフチル基のような脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテルポリマーは、高いガラス転移温度(Tg)を有するために、透明性を要求される光学材料に用いられている。しかしながら、従来の脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテルポリマーは、ガラス転移温度(Tg)が高いため成形の際は高温に保持する必要があり、熱劣化により透明性が損なわれるという問題があった。又、一般的に脂環式骨格を有する重合体は可撓性が低く、複雑な形状の成形品を得ることは困難であった。このため、光学材料分野の短波長への変遷に伴う透明性への要求や、電気電子材料へ求められる高速化に対応するために、よりガラス転移温度が低く、可撓性の改良された脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテルポリマーが求められている。   Thus, vinyl ether polymers having an alicyclic skeleton such as norbornyl group or dimethanodecahydronaphthyl group in the side chain have a high glass transition temperature (Tg), and thus are optical materials that require transparency. It is used. However, since the conventional vinyl ether polymer having an alicyclic skeleton has a high glass transition temperature (Tg), it has to be maintained at a high temperature during molding, and there is a problem that transparency is impaired due to thermal deterioration. In general, a polymer having an alicyclic skeleton has low flexibility, and it has been difficult to obtain a molded product having a complicated shape. Therefore, in order to respond to the demand for transparency associated with the transition to short wavelengths in the field of optical materials and the high speed required for electric and electronic materials, the glass transition temperature is lower and the flexibility is improved. There is a need for vinyl ether polymers having a cyclic skeleton.

本発明の発明者らの一部は、光学材料や電気電子材料における課題を解決する手段として、側鎖に新規な脂環式骨格を有し、分子量分布の狭いビニルエーテル重合体を提案し、特許出願をしており(特開2005−113049号公報参照)、該ビニルエーテル重合体は、耐熱性と低吸湿性及び金属への密着性に優れたものであるが、更に可撓性にも優れた新規なビニルエーテル共重合体を提供するため鋭意検討の結果、特定の脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテルに、直鎖状のアルキルビニルエーテルを共重合させることにより、ガラス転移温度が低く、可撓性の改善された脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテル共重合体が得られるのではないかとの知見を得、さらに研究を進めた結果、以下の式(1)で表される、脂肪族骨格と脂環式骨格を共に側鎖に有する共重合体を発明するに至った。

尚、式中のn及びmはそれぞれ30〜600の整数を表している。 Some of the inventors of the present invention have proposed a vinyl ether polymer having a novel alicyclic skeleton in the side chain and a narrow molecular weight distribution as a means to solve the problems in optical materials and electrical and electronic materials. An application has been filed (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-113049), and the vinyl ether polymer is excellent in heat resistance, low hygroscopicity, and adhesion to metal, but is also excellent in flexibility. As a result of intensive investigations to provide a new vinyl ether copolymer, linear alkyl vinyl ether is copolymerized with vinyl ether having a specific alicyclic skeleton, resulting in low glass transition temperature and improved flexibility. As a result of obtaining the knowledge that a vinyl ether copolymer having a prepared alicyclic skeleton can be obtained and further researching it, an aliphatic skeleton and an alicyclic skeleton represented by the following formula (1) The This has led to the invention a copolymer having a side chain to.

本発明のビニルエーテル共重合体は、側鎖に直鎖状の脂肪族骨格と脂環式骨格を共に有しており、既存の脂環式骨格を有するビニルエーテルポリマーと比較して低いガラス転移温度を有し、可撓性が改良されている。このため、より低い温度で成形が可能となり、これまで困難であった複雑な形状の成形品を得ることも可能であると期待される。   The vinyl ether copolymer of the present invention has both a linear aliphatic skeleton and an alicyclic skeleton in the side chain, and has a lower glass transition temperature compared to a vinyl ether polymer having an existing alicyclic skeleton. And has improved flexibility. For this reason, it becomes possible to mold at a lower temperature, and it is expected that it is possible to obtain a molded product having a complicated shape which has been difficult until now.

本発明のビニルエーテル共重合体は、以下の式(1)で表される、脂肪族骨格と脂環式骨格を共に側鎖に有するものである。

The vinyl ether copolymer of the present invention has both an aliphatic skeleton and an alicyclic skeleton represented by the following formula (1) in the side chain.

上記式中のn及びmは、それぞれ30〜600の整数である。又、m/nの比率(%)は、50/50〜95/5が好ましく、60/40〜95/5がより好ましい。mの比率が50%より小さいと、ガラス転移温度が低くなりすぎ、耐熱性や成形性が悪くなる。一方、mの比率が95%を超えると可撓性の改善効果が得られない。   N and m in the above formula are each an integer of 30 to 600. Further, the ratio (%) of m / n is preferably 50/50 to 95/5, and more preferably 60/40 to 95/5. If the ratio of m is less than 50%, the glass transition temperature becomes too low, and the heat resistance and moldability deteriorate. On the other hand, if the ratio of m exceeds 95%, the effect of improving flexibility cannot be obtained.

A random copolymer corresponding to the ratio of the raw material monomers can be obtained.

又、重合度の制御が容易であり且つ単分散に近い共重合体を得ることが可能なリビングカチオン重合では、分子量分布の狭いランダム共重合体や、重合度を制御したブロック共重合体を得ることができる。   In living cationic polymerization, the degree of polymerization can be easily controlled and a copolymer close to monodispersion can be obtained, and a random copolymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution and a block copolymer with a controlled degree of polymerization are obtained. be able to.

尚、重合に際して使用する溶媒は、ヘキサンなどの脂肪族溶媒や、トルエン、塩化メチレンなどが用いられるが、特に限定されるものではない。   The solvent used for the polymerization is an aliphatic solvent such as hexane, toluene, methylene chloride or the like, but is not particularly limited.
