DESCRIPTION
All publications, patents, and patent documents referred to in this document are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, as though individually incorporated by reference.
U.S. provisional application No. 61/488,815, filed May 23, 2011, entitled TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE FILM WITH HARDCOAT LAYERS, is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Metal nanowire based transparent conductive films have attracted great attention recently due to their excellent electric conductivity, high light transmittance, and ease of manufacturing on a flexible substrate. The transparent conductive film prepared through the networking of silver nanowires has the potential to replace indium tin oxide as a transparent conductor in many applications, such as touch screens, EMI shielding, electrochromic devices, LED lighting, photovoltaic solar panels, and the like. Transparent conductive film prepared from silver nanowires in organic binders may produce materials with electric resistivity of, for example, less than 20 ohm/sq, with total light transmittance of, for example, 86% or higher, when coated on a flexible plastic substrate, such as, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate support.
Applicants have developed a superior transparent conductive film that comprises at least one carrier layer disposed on the opposite side of a transparent support from at least one conductive layer, and at least one hardcoat layer disposed on the at least one carrier layer. This film exhibits a hardcoat pencil hardness of at least about 6H, a haze value below about 0.60 percent exclusive of the at least one conductive layer, a hardcoat adhesion value of 5.0, and curl less than about 1.5 cm. This film is an improvement over other radiation cured hardcoat systems that may exhibit pencil hardnesses of up to about 4H, but that also exhibit poor adhesion and curl values.
In at least some embodiments, the at least one carrier layer comprises at least one polyester resin. Polyester resins may comprise, for example, aliphatic polyesters, aromatic polyesters, aliphatic copolyesters, aromatic copolyesters, or copolyesters having a combination of aliphatic and aromatic repeat units. Exemplary polyester resins are polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, poly(8-caprolactone), poly(glycolide), poly(lactide), poly(lactide-co-glycolide), and the like. Some polyester resins may possess some extent of unsaturation, with double or triple carbon-carbon bonds being included for polymerization or crosslinking by thermal or radiation curing. For example, in some cases, a polyester resin may comprise an average of at least one unsaturated carbon-carbon bond, or at least two unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least three unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least four unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least five
unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least six unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least seven unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least eight unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least nine unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, or at least ten unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, for every ten of its repeat units. Other polyester resins may be substantially unsaturated, and may, for example, comprise fewer than one unsaturated carbon-carbon bond for every ten or more of its repeat units.
In at least some embodiments, the at least one carrier layer comprises at least one cellulosic polymer, or the at least one hardcoat layer comprises at least one cellulosic polymer, or both the at least one carrier layer and the at least one hardcoat layer each comprise at least one cellulosic polymer. Cellulosic polymers are polysaccharides or derivatives of polysaccharides, that may have degrees of polymerization of, for example, 100, 1000, 10,000, or more. These include derivatives of cellulose, such as, for example, esters and ethers of cellulose. Cellulosic ester polymers (also referred to as "cellulose esters") include cellulose acetates, such as, for example, cellulose acetate, cellulose triacetate, cellulose propionate, cellulose acetate propionate, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), and the like. Cellulosic ether polymers (also referred to as "cellulose ethers") include, for example, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, ethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, and the like. These and other such cellulosic polymers will be understood by those skilled in the art.
UV curable hardcoats are known. See, for example, Koleske, J.V., Coatings Technology, 1997, 69(866), 29; US Patent 7,339,793; and US patent application publication 2009/0274902; each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. UV curable hardcoats may, for example, comprise monomeric or functional acrylates. Monomeric and functional acrylates can have molecular weights of 10,000 g/mol or less, typically 5,000 g/mol or less. UV curable hardcoats may, for example, comprise unsaturated polyesters.
Unsaturated polyesters can attain high molecular weights and high crosslink densities upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which can result in improved coating durability. In at least some embodiments, the at least one hardcoat comprises at least one radiation curable monomer. Radiation curable monomers are known. These may, for example, comprise monomers with one or more acrylic or methacrylic groups, such as, for example, polyfunctional monomers with two, three, four, five, six, or more polymerizable groups. At least some unsaturated polyesters or their oligomers may be radiation curable monomers. In some cases, radiation curable monomers may be polymerized or crosslinked in the presence of light, such as, for example, ultraviolet light at wavelengths of, for example, about 246 nm or about 280 nm. Dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate (DPPA) is an exemplary radiation curable monomer. This and other such monomers will be understood by those skilled in the art.
Curing may be aided through use of photoinitiators, such as, for example, 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone. This and other such photoinitiators will be understood by those skilled in the art.

Materials
Unless otherwise noted, materials were available from Sigma- Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI.
CAB381-20 is a cellulose acetate butyrate polymer (Eastman
Chemical).
®
VITEL PE2700LMW is a linear unsaturated polyester resin having a weight average molecular weight of 30,000-70,000 g/mol. (Bostik).
®
SARTOMER CN968 is an aliphatic urethane hexaacrylate oligomer (Sartomer Industries).
®
SARTOMER SR399 is a dipentaerythritolpentaacrylate monomer (Sartomer Industies).
X-CURE 184 is a 1 -hydroxycyclohexylphenone photoinitiator.
(Dalian).
Example 1
Composition A was prepared by combining and mixing at room temperature 2.78 g of CAB381-20 cellulose acetate butyrate, 1.85 g of VITEL® PE2700LMW polyester resin, and 195.36 g of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
Composition A was coated on a 7 mil clear polyethylene terephthalate support using a #6 Mayer rod. The coated film was dried at 99 °C for 3 minutes to produce a carrier layer coated film.
Example 2
Composition B was prepared by combining and mixing at room temperature 9.51 g of X-CURE 184 photoinitator, 3.17 g of benzophenone, and
37.31 g of MEK.
Composition C was prepared by combining and mixing at room temperature 20.0 g of CAB381-20 cellulose acetate butyrate and 180.0 g of MEK.
Composition D was prepared by combining 6.92 g of
Composition C, 9.02 g of MEK, 2.60 g of SARTOMER® CN968, and 7.79 g of SARTOMER SR399, and mixing for 15 min. 3.68 g of Composition B was then added to the mixture, which was allowed to mix for an additional 15 min.
Composition D was then coated over the carrier layer of the coated film of Example 1, to form a hardcoat coating layer, using a #8 Mayer rod. The coated film was dried at 99 °C for 5 min. The dried film was then conveyed under a 600 W ultraviolet bulb at a speed of 15 m/min to obtain a transparent film.
Adhesion of the hardcoat layer side of the transparent film was evaluated according to ASTM 3359 Standard Test Method for Measuring
Adhesion by Tape. A cross-hatched area was scribed on the coating with a razor blade and gently removing the debris with a lint-free cotton pad. Adhesive tape (#610 semi-transparent pressure- sensitive tape from 3M Company, St. Paul, MN) was then applied to the crosshatched area and smoothed with a rubber roller until there were no air bubbles between the tape and the coated film. The tape was then rapidly peeled off. The appearance of the coated film was given a score on a 0 to 5 scale: 5 = edges of scribed cuts completely smooth; 4 = flakes of coating detached at some intersections of scribed lines, with less than about 5% of the test area being affected; 3 = flakes of coating detached along some edges and at some intersections of scribed lines, with about 5 to 15% of the test area being affected; 2 = flakes of coating detached along some edges of scribed lines and on parts of the squares, with about 15 to 35% of the test area being affected; 1 = coating detached along the edges of scribed lines in large ribbons, with more than about 35% of the test area being affected; 0 = coating completely removed. The hardcoat layer exhibited an adhesion value of 5.0.
Pencil hardness of the coating was measured according to
ASTM 3363 Standard Test Method for Film Hardness by Pencil. The method reports the hardest standard pencil lead that does not mar the coating when pushing a pencil away from the operator and where the pencil is oriented at a 45° angle away from the operator. The hardcoat layer achieved a pencil hardness score of 6H.
A 30 cm x 30 cm portion of the coated film was evaluated for curl.
The substrate was placed on a horizontal surface and heated to 149 °C for 5 min. It was then allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The deflections of the four corners of the substrate from the horizontal surface were measured, with the largest value being recorded. The curl for this coating was 1.4 cm.
Haze was measured using a BYK Gardner Hazegard instrument, according to ASTM method D-1003. The haze for the coated film was 0.53%.
Example 3 (Comparative)
The procedure of Example 2 was repeated, but without using the carrier layer of Example 1. Instead, the hardcoat coating Composition D was coated directly onto the polyethylene terephthalate substrate. The resulting coating film was evaluated for adhesion, pencil hardness, curl, and haze, with the results being summarized in Table I, along with the superior results of the coated film of Example 2.
