According to the present invention, a photocurable composition containing a hydrophilic monomer that produces a homopolymer having a glass transition temperature of 50°C or higher is prepared; a photocurable composition layer is formed on a base film pulled out from a feed roll by applying the photocurable composition to the base film; a water absorbent sheet is formed by photocuring the photocurable composition layer by irradiating the photocurable composition layer with ultraviolet light; the water absorbent sheet is caused to contain water by subjecting the water absorbent sheet to a water addition treatment; and the thus-obtained hydrous water absorbent sheet is wound around a take-up roll together with the base film. Consequently, a hydrous water absorbent sheet having good water absorption and excellent transparency is able to be produced by a roll-to-roll process.

Description

含水吸水性シートの製造方法Method for producing water-containing water-absorbent sheet
 本発明は、含水吸水性シートの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a water-containing water-absorbent sheet.
 高い吸水性が要求される紙おむつやペットシーツ等の吸水性シートとして、アクリル酸塩系ポリマー粒子を基材上に散布し、被覆結合材で固定したものが提案されている(特許文献1)。 As water-absorbent sheets such as disposable diapers and pet sheets that require high water absorption, acrylate polymer particles are dispersed on a substrate and fixed with a covering binder (Patent Document 1).
特開平11-170414号公報JP-A-11-170414
 ところで、吸水性シートの新たな用途として、窓ガラスや透明ディスプレイに適用することが考えられているが、その場合、吸水性シートに対しては、実用的な透明度としてヘイズ度が8%を超えないことが求められている。しかしながら、従来の吸水性シートは、基材や被覆結合材として透明材料を使用したとしても、アクリル酸塩系ポリマー粒子が可視光線の波長よりも相対的に大きな粒径を有するため、白濁して見えたり、ポリマー粒子の外形が見えたりし、所期の透明性が得られないという問題があった。 By the way, as a new use of the water absorbent sheet, it is considered to be applied to a window glass or a transparent display. In that case, the haze degree exceeds 8% as a practical transparency for the water absorbent sheet. There is no need for it. However, the conventional water-absorbent sheet is cloudy because the acrylate polymer particles have a particle size relatively larger than the wavelength of visible light, even if a transparent material is used as a base material or a coating binder. There was a problem that the transparency of the polymer particles could be seen, and the desired transparency could not be obtained.
 また、従来の吸水性シートは、アクリル酸塩系ポリマーの合成工程、粒子化工程、シート化工程等の互いに独立した複数の工程に従って作成されており、アクリル酸塩モノマーを含有する光硬化性樹脂組成物を用いて、ロールツーロール(Roll-to-Roll)方式で吸水性シートを製造することが実質的にできないという問題もあった。 In addition, the conventional water-absorbent sheet is prepared in accordance with a plurality of mutually independent processes such as an acrylate polymer synthesizing process, a particle forming process, a sheet forming process, etc. There is also a problem that it is practically impossible to produce a water-absorbent sheet by a roll-to-roll method using the composition.
 本発明の目的は、以上の従来の技術の問題点を解決することであり、吸水前後で高い透明性を有する吸水性シートをロールツーロール方式で製造できるようにすることである。 An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems of the conventional technique, and to enable production of a water-absorbent sheet having high transparency before and after water absorption by a roll-to-roll method.
 本発明者は、ガラス転移温度が50℃以上のホモポリマーを与える親水性モノマーを含有する光硬化性組成物層に紫外線照射し、更に加水処理を施すことにより、ロールツーロール方式で、良好な吸水性と、優れた透明性とを有する含水吸水性シートを製造できることを見出した。本発明者は、これらの知見に基づき、本発明を完成させるに至った。 The inventor of the present invention has a roll-to-roll method by irradiating a photocurable composition layer containing a hydrophilic monomer that gives a homopolymer having a glass transition temperature of 50 ° C. or higher and further subjecting it to a water treatment. It has been found that a water-containing water-absorbent sheet having water absorption and excellent transparency can be produced. Based on these findings, the present inventor has completed the present invention.
