Abstract
Description
導電性高分子は、導電性、光の透過性、発光性、成膜後もフレキシブルであるという特徴があり、透明導電膜、電解コンデンサー、帯電防止剤、電池および有機EL素子等への応用が期待されている。
り、特に、タッチパネル、タッチスイッチのセンサー部の透明性材料として期待されている。そのため、導電性高分子をエッチングして、導電性高分子膜をパターニングする方法は、導電性高分子を使用するにあたり重要な技術となっている。
また、導電性高分子用エッチング剤、増粘剤および水系媒体を含む導電性高分子エッチング用インクを使用して、導電性高分子をパターニングする方法が開示されている(特許文献2)。
また、例示されているシリカや高分子増粘剤を使用するとエッチング成分と反応したり、粘度の経時変化を起こしたりするという問題がある。
また、増粘剤に球状のシリカ粒子やアルミナ粒子が使用されているため、インクの粘度の経時変化が大きく、また、印刷して間もなく乾燥してこれらの粒子が飛散するため、クリーンルーム内のパーティクル濃度が上昇する。また、印刷中に乾燥してスクリーン版のメッシュやノズルに詰まるため、連続処理性に劣る。さらに、インクの洗浄性が悪いために、フィルム上にこれらの粒子が残り、光学特性を悪化させる原因となる。
さらに、上記第1形態において、導電性高分子用インビジブルエッチングイン
クの構成成分である前記(A)~(C)を特定の好ましい化合物に限定する実施態様、および(A)~(D)成分に加えてさらに陰イオン交換体(E)を含む実施態様などが含まれる。
したがって、この導電性高分子用インビジブルエッチングインクおよびこれを使用した導電性高分子のパターニング方法は特に投影型静電容量式タッチパネルなどの用途において優れた発明である。
本発明の導電性高分子用インビジブルエッチングインク(以下、単に「本発明のインク」ともいう。)は、導電性高分子用エッチング剤(A)、無機粒子(B)、ポリアクリル酸またはその塩(C)および水系媒体(D)を含み、pHが3~7に調整されたインクであることが特徴である。
本発明のインクは、導電性高分子に接触することにより、当該接触部分の導電性高分子を不活化させることができる。すなわち、本発明のインクを所望の形状で導電性高分子上に付与し、不活化することで、所望の形状に導電性高分子をパターニングすることができる。
従来の導電性高分子のパターニング方法としては、レジスト膜を使用する方法が知られているが、本発明のインクを用いることにより、レジスト膜を使用することなく、簡便に導電性高分子のパターニングを行なうことができる。
本発明に用いることができる導電性高分子用エッチング剤(A)としては、(NH4)2Ce(NO3)6、Ce(SO4)2、(NH4)4Ce(SO4)4、塩化ニトロシル、臭素酸化合物、塩素酸化合物、過マンガン酸化合物、6価クロム化合物、ジクロロイソシアヌル酸ナトリウム、トリクロロイソシアヌル酸、さらし粉、クロラミン、クロラミンT、1,3-ジクロロー5,5-ジメチルヒダントイン、亜塩素酸塩、次亜塩素酸塩および次亜塩素酸塩5水和物などが挙げられ、これらの中でも、エッチング性の観点からは、ジクロロイソシアヌル酸ナトリウム、さらし粉、次亜塩素酸塩および次亜塩素酸塩5水和物が好ましく、コストおよび汎用性の観点から次亜塩素酸塩および次亜塩素酸塩5水和物が特に好ましい。
なお、次亜塩素酸塩5水和物の場合は、不純物として混入する塩化物イオンの量を減らす効果も期待できる。
測定する試料をWグラム採取し、イオン交換水を加え250mlとする。この試料液10mlを分取し、ヨウ化カリウム10%水溶液10mlを加える。そして、酢酸(1:2)10mlを加えpHを酸性にし、0.1規定濃度チオ硫酸ナトリウム水溶液で測定する。なお、滴定の途中で終点を判定しやすくするため可溶性でんぷんを加えてもよい。0.1規定濃度Na2SO3の滴定量および試料採取料Wと次式から有効塩素濃度を求める。
無機粒子の形状としては、特に制限がなく、球状、平板状、針状、繊維状、不定形状など挙げられるが、これらの中でも平板状の無機粒子が好ましく、ベントナイトおよびマイカが特に好ましい。
平板状の無機粒子を用いることでインク粘度の経時変化が小さくなる効果がある。
無機粒子の平均一次粒径としては、3nm~100μmであることが好ましく、3nm~50μmであることがより好ましく、3nm~20μmであることが更に好ましく、3nm~15μmであることが特に好ましい。
したがって、ポリアクリル酸またはその塩を添加することで、洗浄性が向上し、インクが乾燥し難くなるため、長時間放置しても無機粒子が飛散することなく、洗浄性も改良される。その結果、ロール・ツー・ロールのような量産向けの連続処理だけでなく、カットした導電フィルムを数十枚連続印刷したものをラックに並べ、その後一度に洗浄するなどの少量向けの枚葉処理にも適用できる。
また、乾燥しにくいことで、スクリーンメッシュへの詰まりを抑えて連続処理可能となること、さらに、ポリアクリル酸と無機粒子の組み合わせで、スクリーン印刷に適した粘度特性に調節することが可能になる効果も発現する。
ポリアクリル酸またはその塩の重量平均分子量としては、1000~50万であることが好ましく、1000~20万であることが更に好ましく、2000~20000であることが特に好ましい。
例えば、導電性高分子用エッチング剤に次亜塩素酸塩を使用した場合、塩素、次亜塩素酸および次亜塩素酸イオンの平衡状態であり、それらの分率はpHによって変化することが知られている。そして、pHが3~7の領域では、主に次亜塩素酸として存在し、次亜塩素酸は次亜塩素酸イオンに比べて導電膜へ浸透しやすいため、分解性が抑制され、パターニングした後も導電性フィルムの元の色調が維持された状態で不活化することが可能となる。
pHが3未満であると塩素臭が強いため通常の雰囲気では取扱いが困難であり、pHが7を超えるとインビジブル性が低下する。
本発明の(A)~(D)の成分を含むインクを用いてパターニングを行うと、印刷中にインクから塩素が揮発して有効塩素濃度が次第に低下し、印刷箇所を十分に不活化できなくなる懸念がある。インクから揮発する塩素を減少させるにはインク中の塩素の分率を下げればよく、そのために塩化物イオン濃度を低下させることが好ましい。
陰イオン交換体の添加量としては、インク全体の1~10質量%となるように添加することが好ましい。
ビスマス系化合物の市販品であるIXE-500、IXE-530、IXE-550(いずれも商品名、東亞合成社製)、ハイドロタルサルトの市販品であるDHT-4A(商品名、協和化学工業社製)、鉛リン酸カルシウムの市販品であるIXE-1000(商品名、東亜合成社製)などを使用することができる。
例えば、界面活性剤、消泡剤、表面調整剤、レベリング剤、潤滑剤、乾き防止剤、pH調整剤(苛性ソーダ、苛性カリなど)、次亜塩素酸塩安定剤など本発明のインクの性能に影響を与えない範囲で使用することができる。
無機粒子、ポリアクリル酸またはそのナトリウム塩、および必要に応じて導電性高分子用エッチング剤以外のその他の成分を水に分散させ、酸および/またはアルカリによりpHを3~7に調整した後、無機粒子が均一に分散するまで三本ロールで混合処理を行う。さらに、導電性高分子用エッチング剤を添加することで、本発明のインクを調製する。

これらの中でも、ポリアニリン類、ポリピロール類およびポリチオフェン類が好ましく、ポリピロール類およびポリチオフェン類がより好ましく、電気伝導度、空気中での安定性および耐熱性に優れたポリ(3,4-エチレンジオキシチオフェン)が最も好ましい。
併用するドーパントとしては、公知のドーパントを用いることができ、導電性高分子の種類に応じて、ハロゲン類(臭素、ヨウ素、塩素塔)、ルイス酸(BF3、PF5など)、プロトン酸(HNO3、H2SO4など)、遷移金属ハライド(FeCl3、MoCl5など)、アルカリ金属(Li、Naなど)、有機物質(アミノ酸、核酸、界面活性剤、色素、アルキルアンモニウムイオン、クロラニル、テトラシアノエチレン)などが挙げられる。導電性高分子自体にドーピング効果を持つ自己ドープ型導電性高分子であってもよい。また、ポリトフェン類を用いる場合、ドーパントとしてはポリスチレンスルホン酸を用いることが好ましい。

その他、アキレス社製の「STポリ」(商品名)はポリピロールであり、東洋紡績社製の「PETMAX」(商品名)はスルホン化ポリアニリンであり、マルアイ社製の「SCS-NEO」(商品名)はポリアニリンであり、これらも本発明に使用できる。
本発明のインクを導電性高分子に接触させることにより、当該接触部分を不活化することができ、導電性高分子の形状は、特に制限はなく、任意の形状でよいが、膜状であることが好ましい。
成膜工程における導電性高分子の膜の厚さが、所望の厚さでよいが、1nm~100μmが好ましく、2nm~1μmがより好ましく、5~500nmであることが更に好ましい。

基材上に形成する導電性高分子の膜は、一様な膜であっても、一部が既に本発明のパターニング方法または他の方法によりパターニングされた膜でもよい。
印刷工程におけるインクの付与量は、膜の面積当たり一定の量を付与してもよいし、一部分のインク量をその他の部分のインク量に対して増減させてもよい。
また、前記膜における導電性高分子を不活化させる領域の形状は、特に制限はなく、必要に応じた形状であればよい。本発明のパターニング方法はナノオーダーからセンチオーダーの線幅のエッチングに好適に用いることができ、マイクロオーダーからミリオーダーの線幅のエッチングにより好適に用いることができる。
導電性高分子の膜を浸透させる酸としては、無機酸および有機酸のいずれも使用することができ、塩酸、硫酸、硝酸、リン酸、酢酸、シュウ酸、クエン酸およびP-トルエンスルホン酸などが挙げられ、これらの中でも硫酸および硝酸が好ましい。例えば、導電性高分子膜(フィルム)を前記酸水溶液に浸漬させ、水気をふき取った後に自然乾燥させることで調製できる。
また、導電性高分子の保護膜に使用する水溶性樹脂としては、ポリビニルアルコール樹脂、水溶性ポリエステル樹脂などが挙げられる。
例えば、導電性高分子膜(フィルム)に前記樹脂水溶液を塗布した後に自然乾燥させて調製できる。
エッチング工程における経過時間(エッチング時間)は、特に制限はなく、インクの組成、導電性高分子の材質や膜の厚さ、エッチングを行う温度、エッチングを行う深さ等に応じ、適時選択することができる。
エッチング時の温度は特に制限はないが、例えば、常温(10~30℃)で行うことができる。また、エッチング速度の調製等のため、エッチング雰囲気および/または導電性高分子の膜を有する基材を加熱または冷却してもよい。
また、エッチング工程においては、前記導電性高分子の膜を有する基材を静置しておいてもよいし、エッチングに影響しない範囲で導電性高分子の膜を有する基材を動かしていてもよい。
エッチング工程においては、除去すべき領域の除去は、必要に応じ、膜を貫通させ完全にエッチングする態様であってもよいし、あるいは膜を貫通させずに前記領域の一部(厚さ方向で見たときの一部)のみをエッチングする態様であってもよい。
水洗に使用する水の量としては、除去に必要な量であればよく、特に制限はない。また、水洗方法としては、パターニングされた導電性高分子を有する基材を流水により洗浄する方法、パターニングされた導電性高分子の膜を有する基材を水に浸漬する方法などが挙げられる。
