Definitions
- the present invention relates to block copolymer adhesives having enhanced adhesion to polyester substrates, and more particularly to hot melts and polyester laminates containing modified multiblock copolymer adhesives.
- Block copolymers having non-el stomeric terminal blocks and an elastomeric non-terminal block are well known from the prior art.
- block copolymers include, for example, polystyrene- polyisoprene-polystyrene and polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene.
- thermoplastic end blocks exhibit both thermoplastic properties owing to the thermoplastic end blocks, as well as elastomeric properties due to the elastomeric internal block
- One such commercial application 5 employs the multiblock copolymer in a blend with a tackifying resin 6 for pressure sensitive adhesive compositions.
- the composition is 7 typically applied to a film or other substrate to adhere the film or 8 substrate to yet another substrate in a laminated structure.
- One drawback of the prior art multiblock copolymer adhesive 0 compositions is that the multiblock copolymers generally have poor i adhesion to polar substrates such as polyester.
- Another drawback 2 has been that the multiblock copoly er-based hot melt compositions 3 have a relatively high melt viscosity and must generally be used 4 with solvents or at undesirably high temperatures. There remains a 5 need for multiblock copolymers with improved adhesion to polyester 6 films and other substrates made of polyester, and/or with reduced 7 melt viscosity. 8 It is known from U. S.
- the isopropyl azodicarboxylate modification of polybutadienes is described in Schulz et al, Macromolecules. vol. 13, pp. 1367-1375 (1980); Spiewak et al , Journal of Applied Polvmer Science, vol. 26, pp. 4331-4334 (1981); and Hamed et al , Polvmer Bulletin, vol. 9,

- elastomeric block such as, for example, 4 dimethylbutadiene, piperylene, phenylbutadiene, and the like.
- the multiblock copolymer is modified by reaction with a l ⁇ dihydrocarbyl azodicarboxylate.
- the modification may be effected by 7 contacting the multiblock copolymer with the dihydrocarbyl
- copolymer include the azo esters of the following formula:
- R and R are independently alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or
- R1 and R2 each contain from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. Preferred are
- Dialkylazodicarboxylates especially isopropylazodi-
- 29 carboxylate are particularly preferred.
- dihydrocarbyl azodicarboxylate 34 may be reacted in a suitable solvent with the dihydrocarbyl azodicarboxylate in suitable amounts at moderately elevated temperatures below about 150°C, for a period of time from about 0.1 hours to several days or more under an inert atmosphere at atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure.
- Preferred amounts of the dihydrocarbyl azodicarboxylate are in the range of from 10 to 100 percent by weight of the diene content of the block copolymer, and especially from 20 to 80 weight percent.
- the modified multiblock copolymer contains pendant bicarbamate moieties along the length of the polydiene chain, while the polyvinylarene blocks are essentially unmodified.
- the modified copolymer may be recovered by evaporation of the solvent or by precipitation with an antisolvent and filtration, although it is contemplated that the solution resulting from the reaction mixture may be used to cast the adhesive layer directly onto a substrate.
- the dihydrocarbyl azodicarboxylate-modified block copolymer may e used as an adhesive layer in the polyester laminate by conventional laminating techniques, such as, for example, coextrusion, extrusion coating, solution coating, and the like.
- the block copolymer is applied to the substrate as a hot melt adhesive containing the modified block copolymer and a compatible tackifier.
- the tackifiers typically have a softening point of from 70° to 130°C, preferably from 80 ⁇ to 110 ⁇ C; a number-average molecular weight of from 500 to 1300, preferably from 700 to 1300; a weight-average molecular weight of from 1000 to 3000, preferably from 1200 to 2500; an acid number of from 0 to 50; a bromine number of from 5 to 30; and a specific gravity of from 0.80 to 1.30.
- suitable tackifiers there may be mentioned rosin esters, terpene-phenolic resins and mixed aliphatic- aromatic resins, well known in the art.
- Exemplary rosin esters include those available under the trade designations Foral, Pentalyn, Permalyn, Bevilite, Bevitack, Zonester, Dertolyne, Granolite, Tergum, Resiester, Unitac, Oulutac, etc.
- Exemplary terpene-phenolic resins include those available under the trade designations Dertophen, Uravar, Nirez V, etc.

- Other tackifiers may also be employed, provided they are compatible with the nonterminal block of the modified block copolymers,
- the weight ratio of tackifier to modified block copolymer may be from about 10:90 to 90:10, preferably from 20:80 to 80:20, and especially from 30:70 to 70:30.
- Mineral oil is desirably used in the hot melt adhesive composition when ambient temperature tack is desired, for example, in pressure sensitive hot melt adhesives. Depending on the nature and amount of the tackifiers used, the oil may comprise from zero to 40 weight percent of the adhesive composition, preferably from 5 to 20 weight percent of the adhesive composition.
- the hot melt composition may also include conventional additives such as pigments, fillers, antioxidants, stabilizers, and the like, in conventional amounts, but the hot melt is preferably essentially free of solvents.
- Antioxidants such as Irganox 1010, when used, are typically present at 0.5 weight percent of the hot melt adhesive composition.
- the hot melt adhesive is prepared by conventionally melt blending the components together at elevated temperatures (from about 150 ⁇ C to about 200°C) under an inert gas blanket until a homogeneous mix is obtained. Any mixing method producing homogeneous blend without degrading the hot melt components is satisfactory.
- One well known method to the art of blending materials of this type is to carry out the hot melt blending in a heated vessel equipped with a stirrer.
- the hot melt adhesive in addition to having enhanced adhesion to polyester and other polar polymeric substrates, has the further advantage that the hot melt composition has a reduced viscosity relative to hot melt adhesives prepared from similar but unmodified multiblock copolymers.
- the present hot melt adhesive leads itself to improved processability, permitting lower temperatures to be used, and avoiding the necessity for solvents or other viscosity-reducing additives.
