Description
本開示は、感熱記録材料に関する。 The present disclosure relates to heat-sensitive recording materials.
近年、地球温暖化問題や廃棄物問題の両観点から、生物と太陽エネルギーがある限り持続的に再生可能な資源、エネルギー源としてバイオマスが注目されている。そのような中、植物又は植物由来の加工品等のバイオマスを利用する技術や、石油由来の化学品、樹脂製品等をバイオマスに転換する技術の開発が求められている。例えば、林産資源として、間伐材、建築廃材、製紙工場廃材等の木質系廃材などは、燃料として焼却される以外、その多くは廃棄処分されている。しかしながら、地球環境保護の観点から、それら廃材の有効活用、リサイクルが検討されている。 In recent years, biomass has attracted attention as a sustainable and renewable resource and energy source as long as living organisms and solar energy are available, both from the perspective of global warming and waste issues. Under these circumstances, there is a need for the development of technologies that utilize biomass such as plants or plant-derived processed products, and technologies that convert petroleum-derived chemicals, resin products, etc. into biomass. For example, forest resources such as wood waste such as thinned wood, construction waste, and paper mill waste are incinerated as fuel, and most of them are disposed of as waste. However, from the perspective of protecting the global environment, effective use and recycling of these waste materials is being considered.
一般的な木質の主要成分は、セルロース、ヘミセルロース及びリグニンである。そのうち、リグニンは、木質の約30%の割合で含まれており、地球上でセルロースに次いで多量に存在する天然有機化合物といわれている。リグニンは、芳香環を豊富に含み、ヒドロキシル基などの反応可能な官能基も有しているため、工業的な利用が期待されている。 The main components of common wood are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Among them, lignin is contained in about 30% of wood, and is said to be the second most abundant natural organic compound on earth after cellulose. Lignin is expected to be used industrially because it contains abundant aromatic rings and also has reactive functional groups such as hydroxyl groups.
そのような中、下記の特許文献1には、感熱記録層を設けた感熱記録体において、電子受容性顕色剤として単離リグニンを含有する感熱記録体が開示されている。 Under such circumstances, the following Patent Document 1 discloses a heat-sensitive recording body provided with a heat-sensitive recording layer, which contains isolated lignin as an electron-accepting color developer.
この単離リグニンは、通常、前述したリグニンに化学変性を施すことにより得られる。単離リグニンとしては、その化学変性の違いにより、リグノスルホン酸(塩)、クラフトリグニン、ソーダリグニン、ソーダ-アントラキノンリグニン、オルガノソルブリグニン、爆砕リグニン、及び硫酸リグニンなどが存在する。 This isolated lignin is usually obtained by chemically modifying the lignin described above. Isolated lignin includes lignosulfonic acid (salt), kraft lignin, soda lignin, soda-anthraquinone lignin, organosol lignin, blasted lignin, and sulfuric lignin, depending on their chemical modification.
その単離リグニンの中でも、クラフトリグニンは、芳香環を豊富に含み、ヒドロキシル基などの反応基を有しているため、感熱記録材料に使用される発色物質を発色させることに適している。そのため、環境に優しい顕色剤として感熱記録材料への応用が期待される。 Among the isolated lignins, kraft lignin contains abundant aromatic rings and has reactive groups such as hydroxyl groups, so it is suitable for coloring the coloring substances used in heat-sensitive recording materials. Therefore, it is expected to be applied to heat-sensitive recording materials as an environmentally friendly color developer.
クラフトリグニンは、木材由来であることから環境に優しい。しかし、顕色剤としてクラフトリグニンを用いた感熱記録材料では、画像部を形成するために加熱すると、単離された状態のクラフトリグニンでは感じられない不快な臭気(以下、「不快臭」ともいう。)が発生することが、本発明者らの検討により明らかになった。 Kraft lignin is environmentally friendly because it is derived from wood. However, when heat-sensitive recording materials that use kraft lignin as a color developer are heated to form image areas, they emit an unpleasant odor (hereinafter also referred to as "unpleasant odor") that cannot be felt with isolated kraft lignin. The present inventors' studies have revealed that .) occurs.
本発明の一側面は、クラフトリグニンを顕色剤として用いながらも画像部を形成するときに不快臭を感じにくい感熱記録材料を提供することを目的とする。 One aspect of the present invention is to provide a heat-sensitive recording material that uses kraft lignin as a color developer and is less likely to cause an unpleasant odor when forming an image area.
本発明者らは上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、画像部を形成するときに感じられる不快臭の原因が、クラフトリグニンに含まれる様々な成分のうち、ジメチルジスルフィドであることを特定した。そして、本発明者らは、クラフトリグニンと、水とを加熱し、ジメチルジスルフィドを水と共沸留去させることでクラフトリグニンを精製し、クラフトリグニンにおけるジメチルジスルフィドの含有量を特定の濃度以下とすることで、得られる感熱記録材料は、画像部を形成するときの不快臭が感じにくいものとなりうることを見出し、この知見に基づいて本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of extensive research to solve the above problems, the present inventors have discovered that the cause of the unpleasant odor felt when forming the image area is dimethyl disulfide, among the various components contained in kraft lignin. Identified. The present inventors purified kraft lignin by heating kraft lignin and water and azeotropically distilling dimethyl disulfide with the water, thereby reducing the content of dimethyl disulfide in kraft lignin to a specific concentration or less. It has been found that by doing so, the resulting heat-sensitive recording material can be made to have less unpleasant odor when forming an image area, and based on this knowledge, the present invention has been completed.

It was purified by heating kraft lignin and water and azeotropically distilling dimethyl disulfide off with the water. Specifically, first, 160 g of kraft lignin (manufactured by MedWest Baco, Inc., Indulin AT) and 640 g of distilled water were put into a 1 L separable flask to obtain a treatment liquid. The separable flask was equipped with a distillate cooling device and a nitrogen introduction tube capable of introducing nitrogen into the mixture. The separable flask was placed on an oil bath. The temperature of the treatment liquid was increased by heating it in an oil bath, and the temperature was increased until 2 hours had elapsed since the start of distillation of water. The temperature of the oil bath was 120°C. During heating, the treatment liquid was stirred and mixed while nitrogen was introduced into the treatment liquid at a flow rate of 20 mL/min. After 2 hours, the treatment liquid was air cooled to 50°C. Next, the air-cooled treated liquid was suction-filtered using a Buchner funnel to obtain a filtrate. The obtained filtrate was taken out and dried to obtain purified kraft lignin. Drying was performed using Perfect Oven PHH-200 (trade name, manufactured by ESPEC Co., Ltd.) at a temperature of 60° C. for 18 hours.
