Description

Flexible cyclic olefin copolymers with low coefficient of thermal expansion and flexible substrates produced therefrom}

The present invention relates to cyclic olefin copolymers having excellent flexibility and low coefficient of thermal expansion and to flexible substrates prepared therefrom. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel cyclic olefin copolymer having not only excellent flexibility and low coefficient of thermal expansion but also excellent transparency, isotropy and high glass transition temperature, and a flexible substrate suitable for use in displays, solar cells, and the like produced therefrom. .

Flexible displays, flexible solar cells, etc. are thinner, lighter, more impact-resistant, and easier to carry than conventional glass-based flat panel products. In that respect, the demand is increasing rapidly.

In order to implement such a flexible display and a flexible solar cell, many technologies such as a transparent high heat-resistant flexible substrate manufacturing technology, a high blocking property for moisture and oxygen, and a transparent electrode forming technology are required in combination. Representative methods for providing high barrier properties include, for example, forming a thin layer of silica oxide, aluminum oxide, etc. on a flexible substrate by vacuum deposition, sputtering, or the like, and coating the thermosetting resin again, thereby repeating a high barrier layer having a multilayer structure. In the case of a transparent electrode, oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO) are commonly formed into thin films by vacuum deposition, sputtering, or the like.

The processes such as vacuum deposition and sputtering, which are essential for the process of imparting high barrier resistance and forming a transparent electrode, are unfortunately required to be performed at a high temperature of 200 ° C. or higher, so the heat resistance of the flexible substrate is extremely required. In particular, in the production of thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), one of the main uses of flexible substrates, the process temperature for implementing thin film transistor arrays on flexible substrates is more than 300 ℃. have. This heat resistance is currently evaluated as glass transition temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion. To manufacture a high heat resistant flexible substrate, a high glass transition temperature of at least 250 ° C, preferably at least 300 ° C, and at least 20ppm / ° C, preferably 10ppm Plastic materials with low coefficients of thermal expansion below / ° C are needed.

In addition, a plastic material suitable for such a flexible substrate is required to have various physical properties such as heat resistance having a high glass transition temperature and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, excellent transparency over 90% based on light transmittance, and isotropy below 10 nm based on birefringence. Plastic materials for flexible substrates, which have been the main targets of research and development so far, include polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, polyether sulfone, polynorbornene, polyimide and the like.

Since polyimide has high glass transition temperature of 360 ° C. and low coefficient of thermal expansion of 17ppm / ° C., it has great advantages in terms of heat resistance, but it is not preferable because of high raw materials and manufacturing cost and yellow color. Polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate have a relatively low thermal expansion coefficient of 13 to 15 ppm / ℃, but have a very low glass transition temperature of 80 to 120 ℃ and have a birefringence higher than 150 nm. The situation is excluded from the plastic material. In the case of polycarbonate, light transmittance is positive in terms of transparency of 90% and low birefringence of less than 10 nm, but the glass transition temperature is very low as 150 ~ 200 ℃ level is also undesirable. In the case of polyether sulfone, for example, Sumitomo Bakelite's polyether sulfone substrate (trade name Sumilite FS-1300) has the advantage of having 89% transparency of light and low birefringence of less than 10 nm, but the glass transition temperature is 223 ° C. Compared with the excellent glass transition temperature conditions of 250 ℃ or more, but also has the disadvantage that does not meet.

On the other hand, cyclic polyolefin-based resin substrates such as Promerus' polynorbornene substrate (trade name Appear 3000) have excellent transparency of 92% of light transmittance, excellent isotropy of birefringence of less than 10nm, and high heat resistance of glass transition temperature of 330 ℃. As a strong candidate material suitable for a board | substrate, great expectation is gathered. Unfortunately, such cyclic olefin resin substrates have a problem that the flexibility of the basic properties of the flexible substrate is very insufficient, and the thermal expansion coefficient, which is another measure of heat resistance, is very high at a level of 100 to 200 ppm / ° C. It is requested.

In order to solve the above problems, the inventor of the present invention has made intensive studies and has come to the present invention.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel cyclic olefin copolymer having not only excellent flexibility and low coefficient of thermal expansion suitable for flexible substrates, but also excellent transparency, isotropy and high glass transition temperature.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a flexible substrate produced from such a novel cyclic olefin copolymer.

.

In the present invention, the core of the technology introduced to obtain a novel resin and a flexible substrate produced therefrom as well as excellent flexibility and low coefficient of thermal expansion, as well as excellent transparency, isotropy and high glass transition temperature can be three major have.

First, cyclic olefin resins having transparency, isotropy and high glass transition temperature are introduced as basic resins.

Secondly, in order to solve the shortcoming of the disadvantage of the conventional cyclic olefin resin, an olefin copolymer having olefin having a long branched molecular structure as a comonomer is adopted.

Third, in order to solve the high thermal expansion coefficient, which is another disadvantage of the conventional cyclic olefin resin, molecular association by secondary bonding force such as electrostatic force, which can act strongly at a long distance to the end of the long branch contained in the copolymer. By expressing pseudo-crosslinking structure, the free volume is greatly reduced, and the cyclic olefin copolymer having molecular structure containing special functional groups that can exert a low thermal expansion coefficient effect can be introduced into the new molecular design. will be.

In more detail, the present inventors have examined the conventional cyclic olefin resins, but the cyclic olefin homopolymers are slightly different depending on the type of the cyclic olefin monomer, but are very excellent in terms of transparency, isotropy and high glass transition temperature, which are suitable as materials for flexible substrates. There is a problem that even if the flexibility is too low when forming into a film and the thermal expansion coefficient is also very high, which is not suitable for use as a flexible substrate material. In contrast, the hydrolysis reaction of the dialkylaluminum groups contained in the copolymer prepared by introducing an alkenyldialkylaluminum compound capable of expressing a long branched structure having a cyclic olefin as a main component as a comonomer It can be seen that the cyclic olefin copolymer obtained by introducing the olefin having the long branched molecular structure as a comonomer obtained as a result of the excellent transparency, isotropy and high glass transition temperature can be improved more than desired level. there was. Unfortunately, however, there is a problem that the coefficient of thermal expansion is higher than that in the case of the cyclic olefin homopolymer due to the increase in free volume due to the long flexible branch. Therefore, the present inventors have intensively studied, and when introducing a metal carboxylate group or a sulfonic acid metal base at the end of a long branch by a comonomer, the present inventors maintain excellent transparency, isotropy, and a high glass transition temperature. Free volume is greatly reduced by expressing pseudo-crosslinked structure according to molecular association of metal carboxylate or sulfonic acid metal salt period by secondary binding force such as electrostatic force that can act powerfully from a long distance without any significant damage of excellent flexibility. The inventors have found that an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, which is suitable as a material for flexible substrates, is secured at the same time, thereby completing the present invention.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in more detail.

The present invention uses a cyclic olefin-alkenyldialkylaluminum copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a cyclic olefin unit and an alkenyldialkylaluminum compound represented by the following formula (2) as a starting material.

[Formula 2]

Figure 112011014185791-pat00006

(In Formula 2, R 1 , R 2 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 20.)

In the present invention, the cyclic olefin is an olefin compound having a cyclic structure, specifically, for example, norbornene, 5-vinyl-2-norbornene, 5-butyl-2-norbornene, 5-methyl 2-norbornene, 5-hexyl-2-norbornene, 5-dimethylmethoxy norbornene, dicyclo pentadiene, cyclopentadiene, as a pendant functional group oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen, bromine And various norbornene derivatives having polar groups such as fluorine.

In the present invention, the alkenyldialkyl aluminum compound is represented by the following formula (2).

[Formula 2]

Figure 112011014185791-pat00007

(In Formula 2, R 1 , R 2 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 20.)

In Formula 2, R 1 and R 2 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and more preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. In addition, n is an integer of 1-20, Preferably it is an integer of 2-16, More preferably, it is 4-12. If n is less than 1 it is difficult to secure the desired excellent flexibility, if n exceeds 20 there is a fear that the glass transition temperature is too low.

Specific examples of the alkenyldialkyl aluminum compound include propenyl diethyl aluminum, propenyl diisobutyl aluminum, pentenyl diethyl aluminum, pentenyl diisobutyl aluminum, hexenyl diisobutyl aluminum, hexenyl diethyl aluminum, and octenyl diisobutyl Aluminum, octenyldiethylaluminum, decenyldiisobutylaluminum, dodecenyldiisobutylaluminum, undecenyldiisobutylaluminum, and the like. Preferred are hexenyldiisobutylaluminum, hexenyldiethylaluminum, octenyldiisobutylaluminum, and octenyldiethylaluminum, which are relatively inexpensive compounds.

In the present invention, the cyclic olefin-alkenyldialkylaluminum copolymer is obtained by copolymerizing the cyclic olefin and the alkenyldialkylaluminum compound in the presence of a catalyst, for example, as described in detail in Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-138946. Although the catalyst is not particularly limited, coordination anionic catalysts such as metalocene catalysts and half-methlocene catalysts, which are usually used for cyclic olefin polymerization, may be used, but cyclic olefins and alkenyldialkylaluminum compounds having a bulky molecular structure It is preferable to use a half metalocene catalyst from a viewpoint of copolymerization with. The polymerization may be carried out by solution polymerization carried out in a solvent such as saturated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, pentane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, or bulk polymerization using cyclic olefins as a solvent. Any polymerization or the like is possible. The polymerization temperature is in the range of 0 to 200 ° C. and hydrogen may be used for molecular weight control.

Further, in the present invention, the cyclic olefin-alkenyldialkylaluminum copolymer may contain 50 to 99 mol%, preferably 60 to 95 mol%, more preferably 70 to 90 mol% of cyclic olefin units, It is preferable to adjust and copolymerize so that an alkenyldialkyl aluminum compound unit may contain 1-50 mol%, Preferably it is 5-40 mol%, More preferably, it is 10-30 mol%. When the alkenyldialkylaluminum compound unit is included in less than 1 mol%, it is difficult to secure excellent flexibility and low coefficient of thermal expansion, and when it exceeds 50 mol%, the glass transition temperature may be too low.

In the present invention, the carboxylic acid group or sulfonic acid group-containing cyclic olefin copolymer is a copolymer containing a cyclic olefin unit and a unit represented by the following formula (4), wherein the cyclic olefin-alkenyldialkylaluminum copolymer is carbon dioxide or sulfur trioxide. It is obtained by the hydrolysis reaction of the dialkyl aluminum group contained in contact with.

[Formula 4]

Figure 112011014185791-pat00008

(In Formula 4, n is an integer of 1 to 20, Y is COOH or SO 3 H.)

More specifically, by contacting with carbon dioxide to convert the dialkylaluminum group to a carboxylic acid group, a carboxyl group-containing cyclic olefin copolymer can be obtained (Ref. K. Zieglar, F.Krupp, K.Weyer and W. Larbig, Ann. Chem., 629, 251 (1960), contacting sulfur trioxide to convert a dialkylaluminum group to a sulfonic acid group to give a sulfonic acid group-containing cyclic olefin copolymer (Ref. US Pat. 3121737).

In the present invention, the carboxylic acid group or sulfonic acid metal base-containing cyclic olefin copolymer is obtained by partially or totally neutralizing the carboxylic acid group or sulfonic acid group-containing cyclic olefin copolymer with metal ions. Here, partial neutralization means that the degree of neutralization of the carboxylic acid group or the sulfonic acid group is 20% or more, and when the degree of neutralization is less than 20%, it is difficult to secure a desired low coefficient of thermal expansion.

The present inventors have completed the present invention by discovering that when the carboxylic acid group or sulfonic acid group is neutralized partially or entirely with metal ions, a low coefficient of thermal expansion can be expressed.

Examples of the metal ions used for the neutralization include alkali metal ions such as lithium ions, sodium ions, potassium ions, alkali metal ions such as magnesium ions, calcium ions, barium ions, transition metal ions such as nickel ions, copper ions, zinc ions, and the like. Among these, sodium ions are advantageous in terms of cost, and zinc ions are preferable in terms of facilitating low thermal expansion coefficient because zinc ions are more likely to express similar crosslinked structures than other ions.

The neutralization reaction may be carried out using a carboxylic acid group or sulfonic acid group-containing cyclic olefin copolymer with ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dibutyl ether and dimethoxyethane; Halogenated alkanes such as chlorobutane, bromohexane, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, hexamethylene dibromide, chlorobenzene, chloroform and tetrachloroethylene; Saturated carboxylic acid esters such as ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, iso-butyl acetate, methyl propionate, and the like; and then dissolved in water or metal hydroxides, metal oxides, metal carbonates, and metal sulfates in the organic solvent. There is a method of adding a compound containing a metal ion such as a cargo and reacting it in a solution state, and adding a carboxylic acid group or a sulfonic acid group-containing cyclic olefin copolymer to a long L / D extruder that can give a sufficient reaction time and melt it. And neutralizing reaction by adding a compound containing a metal ion.

The neutralization degree by the neutralization reaction is 20% or more, preferably 30% or more, more preferably 40% or more. If the degree of neutralization is less than 20%, it is difficult to secure a desired low coefficient of thermal expansion due to the lack of functional groups capable of expressing similar network structures.

The weight average molecular weight of the carboxylic acid metal base or sulfonic acid metal base-containing cyclic olefin copolymer according to the present invention is 1,000 to 1,000,000, preferably 10,000 to 500,000, more preferably 50,000 to 300,000 in terms of film properties and moldability. desirable.

In the carboxylic acid metal base or sulfonic acid metal base-containing cyclic olefin copolymer according to the present invention, the carboxylate base or sulfide which makes a decisive contribution to ultimately exhibiting a low coefficient of thermal expansion due to the development of pseudo network structure by electrostatic force. The fonate group-containing olefin unit content is proportional to the alkenyldialkylaluminum compound unit content contained in the cyclic olefin-alkenyldialkylaluminum copolymer as a starting material. In the carboxyl group or sulfonate group-containing olefin unit, it is preferable to adjust the content to 1 to 50 mol%, preferably 5 to 40 mol%, more preferably 10 to 30 mol%. When the metal carboxylate or sulfonic acid base-containing olefin unit is included in less than 1 mol%, it is difficult to secure excellent flexibility and low coefficient of thermal expansion, and when it exceeds 50 mol%, the glass transition temperature may be too low.

More specifically, the method for producing a metal carboxylate or sulfonic acid metal base-containing cyclic olefin copolymer according to the present invention

In addition, conventional additives such as inorganic particles, antioxidants, sunscreens, lubricants, and the like can be prescribed in the cyclic olefin copolymer within the scope of not impairing the object of the present invention.

In addition, the film-like flexible substrate according to the present invention can be produced by a conventional solvent casting method or a melt extrusion method. That is, the film-type flexible substrate is completed by first dissolving the carboxylic acid base metal or sulfonic acid base-containing cyclic olefin copolymer resin according to the present invention in a solvent, removing air bubbles, and then casting it on a suitable substrate and drying the solvent. The cyclic olefin copolymer resin pellets containing a metal acid base or a sulfonic acid base are introduced into an extruder through a hopper, melt-extruded through a cylinder, and passed through a Ti-die. The final film-like flexible substrate is completed.

It exhibits extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion by expressing pseudo-crosslinking structure according to molecular association of base or sulfonic acid metal salt period, and it is a breakthrough that has excellent transparency, isotropy and high glass transition temperature which are advantages of conventional cyclic olefin resin. The flexible substrate obtained from the resin can be usefully used in various fields such as a flexible display and a flexible solar cell.

The present invention is characterized in that it is a carboxylic acid metal base or sulfonic acid metal base-containing cyclic olefin copolymer obtained by using a cyclic olefin-alkenyldialkylaluminum copolymer having a molecular structure having some long branches as a starting material. It has a long branch to provide excellent flexibility and exhibits a very low thermal expansion coefficient by expressing a similar crosslinking structure according to the molecular association of the metal carboxylate or sulfonic acid salt period contained in the long branch end portion, as well as the conventional ring.
