Description

光学用感光性樹脂組成物およびそれを用いた光学材料Optical photosensitive resin composition and optical material using the same
 本発明は、光学的応用を目的とする透明樹脂において光信号を低損失で通す高い透明性を有し、耐熱性に優れた光学レンズや集光拡散レンズ、光学部品間の接着等、各種光学材料等に広く利用可能な光学用感光性樹脂組成物およびそれを用いた光学材料に関するものである。 The present invention is a transparent resin for optical applications, has high transparency that allows optical signals to pass through with low loss, and has excellent transparency and heat resistance. The present invention relates to an optical photosensitive resin composition that can be widely used for materials and the like, and an optical material using the same.
 従来から、光学部品用の接着剤、シーリング材、フィルター、光学レンズの材料として、種々の材料が検討されている。このような材料において、光学レンズの薄型化や、画像の高解像度化の観点から、高屈折率および耐熱性に優れたエポキシ樹脂を主成分とする光硬化性樹脂組成物が注目されている。 Conventionally, various materials have been studied as materials for adhesives, sealing materials, filters, and optical lenses for optical components. Among such materials, a photocurable resin composition mainly composed of an epoxy resin having a high refractive index and excellent heat resistance has attracted attention from the viewpoint of thinning an optical lens and increasing the resolution of an image.
 このような光硬化性樹脂組成物としては、例えば、エポキシ化合物、光カチオン重合開始剤を用いた感光性樹脂組成物が提案されている(特許文献1)。 As such a photocurable resin composition, for example, a photosensitive resin composition using an epoxy compound and a photocationic polymerization initiator has been proposed (Patent Document 1).
 一方、これらの光学部品用の光硬化性樹脂組成物としては、光学材料として使用される光学装置の小型・低背化に伴って、さらなる高屈折および高アッベ数化が求められるようになっていきている。このことから、例えば、高屈折のナノ酸化物微粒子を含有する樹脂組成物が提案されており(特許文献2)、これを用いることにより、屈折率の向上を図ることが考えられる。 On the other hand, as a photocurable resin composition for these optical components, as the optical device used as an optical material is reduced in size and height, further higher refraction and higher Abbe number are required. living. From this, for example, a resin composition containing highly refractive nano-oxide fine particles has been proposed (Patent Document 2), and it is conceivable to improve the refractive index by using this.

 しかしながら、上記特許文献1に記載の感光性樹脂組成物のような、エポキシ化合物を主成分とする光硬化性樹脂組成物は、屈折率向上のために、芳香環式エポキシ樹脂を用いているため、屈折率の向上はみられるが、その屈折率の波長依存性が大きいためアッベ数は顕著に低下することとなる。 However, since the photocurable resin composition mainly composed of an epoxy compound, such as the photosensitive resin composition described in Patent Document 1, uses an aromatic ring epoxy resin for improving the refractive index. Although the refractive index is improved, the Abbe number is significantly reduced because the wavelength dependency of the refractive index is large.
 また、上記特許文献2に記載の高屈折のナノ酸化物微粒子を有する樹脂組成物では、屈折率の大幅な向上効果は得られるが、上記ナノ酸化物微粒子の分散性に起因する樹脂の白濁化がみられ、光学材料としての用途での使用は困難であった。 In addition, the resin composition having highly refractive nano-oxide fine particles described in Patent Document 2 can significantly improve the refractive index, but the resin becomes clouded due to the dispersibility of the nano-oxide fine particles. As a result, it was difficult to use as an optical material.
 本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、高屈折率と高アッベ数を備え、高い透明性を有する光学材料として好適な光学用感光性樹脂組成物およびそれを用いた光学材料の提供をその目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has an optical photosensitive resin composition suitable for an optical material having a high refractive index and a high Abbe number and having high transparency, and an optical material using the same. The purpose is to provide

(A)架橋環式炭化水素構造を有するカチオン重合性化合物。

To achieve the above object, the first gist of the present invention is an optical photosensitive resin composition containing the following (A) and (B).

 本発明者らは、高屈折率を有し、かつ高アッベ数をも備えた光学用感光性樹脂組成物を得るために鋭意検討を重ねた。その結果、カチオン重合性化合物として、架橋環式炭化水素構造を有する特殊な骨格構造を備えたものを用いると、上記架橋環式炭化水素構造に起因した、可視光領域における高い透明性と低い分子分散〔具体的には、下記の数式(a)におけるΔRをいう。なお、式(a)中、Rは分子屈折、nDはナトリウムD線の屈折率、VDはアッベ数を示す。〕という作用効果を奏することから所期の目的を達成することが可能となり、高い透明性を有しながら、硬化後屈折率が高いことはもちろん、アッベ数も従来に比べて高い物性を有する硬化体を得ることのできる樹脂組成物が得られることを見出し本発明に到達した。 The inventors of the present invention have made extensive studies in order to obtain an optical photosensitive resin composition having a high refractive index and a high Abbe number. As a result, when a cationically polymerizable compound having a special skeleton structure having a crosslinked cyclic hydrocarbon structure is used, high transparency and low molecules in the visible light region due to the crosslinked cyclic hydrocarbon structure are used. Dispersion [specifically, ΔR in the following formula (a). In the formula (a), R represents molecular refraction, n D represents the refractive index of sodium D line, and V D represents the Abbe number. It is possible to achieve the intended purpose because of the operational effects of the above, and while having high transparency, the refractive index after curing is high, and of course, the Abbe number has higher physical properties than before. The present inventors have found that a resin composition capable of obtaining a body is obtained, and have reached the present invention.

 このように、本発明は、上記架橋環式炭化水素構造を有する特殊なカチオン重合性化合物(A)および光酸発生剤(B)を含有する光学用感光性樹脂組成物である。このため、この樹脂組成物を用いて光硬化してなる硬化体は、高屈折率とともに高アッベ数を備えたものが得られる。そして、この光学用感光性樹脂組成物はガラス板等の透明基板上で光硬化させることができることから、上記透明基板と一体化させることにより高品質なハイブリッドレンズを製造することも可能である。したがって、本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物を、レンズ等の光学部品用の成形材料および光学部品固定用光硬化型接着剤等に用いる場合、高信頼性の良好な光学材料を得ることができるため有用である。 Thus, the present invention is an optical photosensitive resin composition containing the special cationically polymerizable compound (A) having the above-mentioned crosslinked cyclic hydrocarbon structure and the photoacid generator (B). For this reason, the hardened | cured material formed by photocuring using this resin composition has a high Abbe number with a high refractive index. And since this optical photosensitive resin composition can be photocured on a transparent substrate such as a glass plate, a high-quality hybrid lens can be produced by integrating it with the transparent substrate. Therefore, when the optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is used for molding materials for optical parts such as lenses and photocurable adhesives for fixing optical parts, it is possible to obtain highly reliable optical materials. It is useful because it can.

When it is at least one of the compounds, it has a higher Abbe number as well as a higher refractive index.

<Photoacid generator (B)>
The photo acid generator (photo cationic polymerization initiator) (B) is used for imparting curability to the photosensitive resin composition by light irradiation (for example, ultraviolet irradiation). As the photoacid generator (B), for example, an onium salt photoacid generator (photocation polymerization initiator) such as sulfonium salt or iodonium salt can be used.

Examples include acid ions.
 上記オニウム塩系におけるカチオン成分としては、例えば、芳香族スルホニウム等のスルホニウム、芳香族ヨードニウム等のヨードニウム、芳香族ホスホニウム等のホスホニウム、芳香族スルホキソニウム等のスルホキソニウム等があげられる。 Examples of the cation component in the onium salt system include sulfonium such as aromatic sulfonium, iodonium such as aromatic iodonium, phosphonium such as aromatic phosphonium, sulfoxonium such as aromatic sulfoxonium, and the like.
 このようなオニウム塩としては、例えば、上記アニオン成分をカウンターアニオンとして有する、芳香族スルホニウム塩等のスルホニウム塩、芳香族ヨードニウム塩等のヨードニウム塩、芳香族ホスホニウム塩等のホスホニウム塩、芳香族スルホキソニウム塩等のスルホキソニウム塩等があげられる。 Examples of such an onium salt include a sulfonium salt such as an aromatic sulfonium salt, an iodonium salt such as an aromatic iodonium salt, a phosphonium salt such as an aromatic phosphonium salt, and an aromatic sulfoxo having the anion component as a counter anion. Examples thereof include sulfoxonium salts such as nium salts.
 このような光酸発生剤(B)は、単独でもしくは二種以上併せて用いることができる。 Such photoacid generators (B) can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
 そして、このような光酸発生剤(B)のなかでも、光硬化性を考慮した場合、好ましくは芳香族スルホニウム塩系の光酸発生剤が用いられる。 Of these photoacid generators (B), in consideration of photocurability, aromatic sulfonium salt photoacid generators are preferably used.
 上記光酸発生剤(B)の含有量は、ワニス(液状の樹脂組成物)の固形分100重量部に対して0.1~3重量部に設定することが好ましく、より好ましくは0.2~1重量部である。すなわち、光酸発生剤(B)の含有量が少なすぎると、満足のいく光照射(紫外線照射)による光硬化性が得られにくく、含有量が多すぎると、感光性樹脂組成物硬化体の着色の原因となり光学材料としての特性を損なう傾向がみられる。 The content of the photoacid generator (B) is preferably set to 0.1 to 3 parts by weight, more preferably 0.2 to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of the varnish (liquid resin composition). To 1 part by weight. That is, if the content of the photoacid generator (B) is too small, satisfactory photocurability by light irradiation (ultraviolet irradiation) is difficult to obtain, and if the content is too large, the cured photosensitive resin composition There is a tendency to cause coloring and impair the properties as an optical material.
 さらに、上記光酸発生剤(B)とともに光増感剤を用い、これらを組み合わせることにより、露光感度の向上を図ることができる。上記光増感剤としては、例えば、紫外領域に吸収波長を有するチオキサントン、アントラセン、アセトフェノン、ベンゾフェノン等を用いることができる。これら光増感剤の増感効果は光酸発生剤(B)の酸化電位および光増感剤の還元電位に依存するため、これらを考慮して適宜最適な組み合わせを選定し使用することが好ましい。ちなみに、フェノチアジン、メチレンブルー、ローズベンガル等の可視領域に吸収を有する光増感剤も増感効果を示すが、これらは感光性樹脂組成物硬化体の透明性を損なうことから使用には適さない。 Furthermore, by using a photosensitizer together with the photoacid generator (B) and combining them, the exposure sensitivity can be improved. As the photosensitizer, for example, thioxanthone, anthracene, acetophenone, benzophenone or the like having an absorption wavelength in the ultraviolet region can be used. Since the sensitizing effect of these photosensitizers depends on the oxidation potential of the photoacid generator (B) and the reduction potential of the photosensitizer, it is preferable to select and use an optimal combination appropriately in consideration of these. . Incidentally, photosensitizers having absorption in the visible region such as phenothiazine, methylene blue, and rose bengal also show a sensitizing effect, but these are not suitable for use because they impair the transparency of the cured photosensitive resin composition.
 上記光増感剤の含有量は、ワニス(液状の樹脂組成物)の固形分100重量部に対して0.01~3.0重量部に設定することが好ましく、より好ましくは0.05~1.0重量部である。なお、光増感剤の含有量が少なすぎると、満足のいく光照射(紫外線照射)による光硬化性が得られにくく、含有量が多すぎると、感光性樹脂組成物硬化体の着色の原因となり光学材料としての特性を損なうことになる。 The content of the photosensitizer is preferably set to 0.01 to 3.0 parts by weight, more preferably 0.05 to 3.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of the varnish (liquid resin composition). 1.0 part by weight. In addition, when there is too little content of a photosensitizer, photocurability by satisfactory light irradiation (ultraviolet irradiation) is hard to be obtained, and when there is too much content, the cause of coloring of the photosensitive resin composition hardening body is obtained. As a result, the properties as an optical material are impaired.
 本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物には、上記(A),(B)および光増感剤以外に、例えば、さらに硬化性を高める目的で酸増殖剤を配合することができる。また、ガラス等の透明基材上に、硬化物を成形して光学材料を作製する用途においては、透明基材と光学材料との接着性の向上を図る目的で、シラン系あるいはチタネート系のカップリング剤を添加してもよい。また、その他の成分として、目的および用途に応じて、合成ゴムやシリコーン化合物等の可撓性付与剤、さらに酸化防止剤、消泡剤等を適宜の割合で配合することができる。また、各種顔料、染料、無機質充填剤等の無機添加剤も、必要に応じて適宜に配合することができる。 In addition to the above (A), (B) and photosensitizer, for example, an acid proliferating agent can be blended in the optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention for the purpose of further improving curability. In applications where a cured product is molded on a transparent substrate such as glass to produce an optical material, a silane or titanate cup is used to improve the adhesion between the transparent substrate and the optical material. A ring agent may be added. As other components, a flexibility imparting agent such as a synthetic rubber or a silicone compound, an antioxidant, an antifoaming agent, or the like can be blended at an appropriate ratio according to the purpose and application. Moreover, inorganic additives such as various pigments, dyes, and inorganic fillers can be appropriately blended as necessary.
 本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物は、例えば、前記(A)および(B)、さらには必要に応じてその他の添加剤を、所定の割合で配合し、加熱溶融混合することにより作製することができる。 The optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is prepared, for example, by blending the above-mentioned (A) and (B), and other additives as necessary, at a predetermined ratio, and heat-melt mixing. be able to.
 本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物は、例えば、つぎのようにして使用される。すなわち、ガラス等の透明基板上に上記樹脂組成物をポッティングし、その上から所望の成形加工型を押し当てることにより、上記成形加工型内へ上記樹脂組成物を充填させ、そこへ光照射を行うことにより硬化させることができる。そして、その後、上記成形加工型を取り外すことにより、透明基板上で一体化された上記樹脂組成物の硬化体(成形加工品である光学材料)を得ることができる。あるいは、光を透過する透明型内へ樹脂組成物を充填し光硬化させることも可能である。本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物は、このような製法により、例えばハイブリッドレンズを作製することができる。また、本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物は、成形加工型内でそれ自身単独で硬化させて光学レンズ等の光学部品とすることもできる。さらに、上記光照射後の硬化体に対し、必要に応じて、所定の温度で加熱処理を行なってもよい。上記加熱により、硬化体の耐熱安定性を高めて、特に透明基板との積層物の場合には、基板と樹脂硬化物間の密着性の向上を図ることができる。 The optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is used, for example, as follows. That is, the resin composition is potted on a transparent substrate such as glass, and a desired molding die is pressed onto the resin composition to fill the resin composition into the molding die, and light is irradiated there. It can be cured by doing so. Then, by removing the molding die, a cured body of the resin composition integrated on the transparent substrate (an optical material that is a molded product) can be obtained. Alternatively, the resin composition can be filled into a transparent mold that transmits light and photocured. The optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can produce, for example, a hybrid lens by such a production method. In addition, the optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be cured by itself in a molding die to be an optical component such as an optical lens. Furthermore, you may heat-process at the predetermined temperature with respect to the said hardening body after the said light irradiation as needed. By the heating, the heat resistance stability of the cured body can be improved, and particularly in the case of a laminate with a transparent substrate, the adhesion between the substrate and the cured resin can be improved.
 上記光照射には、例えば、装置として紫外線(UV)ランプや特定波長のシングルバンドのランプ等を用いることができる。また、照射量としては、例えば、2000~50000mJ/cm2が好ましく、より好ましくは2000~30000mJ/cm2である。すなわち、照射量が上記範囲未満では、感光性樹脂組成物を充分に硬化させることが困難となり、得られる光学材料を透明基板上に所望の硬化物形状に成形することが困難となる傾向がみられる。また、上記範囲を超えると、過度の照射により光劣化が生じるという不具合が生起するおそれがあるからである。そして、照射量が上記範囲内であると、感光性樹脂組成物を充分に硬化させることができることから、例えば、感光性樹脂組成物を透明基板上に所望の硬化物形状に成形することでき、また、過度の照射による光劣化を防止することが可能となる。 For the light irradiation, for example, an ultraviolet (UV) lamp or a single band lamp having a specific wavelength can be used as an apparatus. The irradiation amount is preferably, for example, 2000 to 50000 mJ / cm 2 , more preferably 2000 to 30000 mJ / cm 2 . That is, when the irradiation amount is less than the above range, it is difficult to sufficiently cure the photosensitive resin composition, and it tends to be difficult to mold the obtained optical material into a desired cured product shape on the transparent substrate. It is done. Moreover, it is because there exists a possibility that the malfunction that photodegradation will arise by excessive irradiation may arise when it exceeds the said range. And, since the photosensitive resin composition can be sufficiently cured when the irradiation amount is within the above range, for example, the photosensitive resin composition can be molded into a desired cured product shape on a transparent substrate, Moreover, it becomes possible to prevent the light deterioration by excessive irradiation.
 また、上記光照射後に必要に応じて施される加熱処理の条件としては、例えば、熱処理温度が、好ましくは50~200℃、より好ましくは80~170℃であり、熱処理時間が、好ましくは0.5~3時間、より好ましくは0.5~2時間である。 Further, as the conditions of the heat treatment performed as necessary after the light irradiation, for example, the heat treatment temperature is preferably 50 to 200 ° C., more preferably 80 to 170 ° C., and the heat treatment time is preferably 0. .5-3 hours, more preferably 0.5-2 hours.
 なお、本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物は、上記のような成形加工型によらず、シート状に成形することもできる。 In addition, the optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be molded into a sheet shape regardless of the above-described molding die.
 そして、上記のようにして得られる本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物は、ハンダリフローによりプリント基板等に実装することにより光学部品用成形材料(光学材料)として使用することができる。 The optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention obtained as described above can be used as a molding material (optical material) for optical components by mounting it on a printed circuit board or the like by solder reflow.
 本発明の光学用感光性樹脂組成物は、先に述べたような製法により、光学レンズ等の光学部品用の成形材料(光学材料)として用いられる他、光導波路や光学部品固定用光硬化型接着剤等、各種用途に用いることができる。 The optical photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be used as a molding material (optical material) for optical parts such as optical lenses by the production method as described above, and is also a light curing type for fixing optical waveguides and optical parts. It can be used for various applications such as adhesives.
