Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polymer laminate sheet, more specifically, to a polymer laminate sheet that is attached to an object when used.
- flexible electronics has been considered for various applications due to the softness of the material, and interest in the healthcare field in particular is growing.
- flexible electronics has attracted attention as a means of obtaining bioinformation directly from cells and tissues by attaching it to the surface or inside the body of a living body.
- flexible electronics are produced by forming electronic devices on a flexible substrate.
- the flexible substrate is generally a patch sheet.
- the patch sheet is a sheet that can be attached to an object.
- the flexible substrate adheres to the object by using an adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive and/or by reducing the thickness of the substrate to improve its ability to conform to the object.
- Using the adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive includes dissolving a part of the substrate before application.
- problems such as rashes due to reduced breathability, reduced adhesive strength, and/or discomfort when worn have arisen.
- adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives contain low molecular weight components (e.g., tackifiers, plasticizers, etc.) that easily penetrate into the skin, which is one of the causes of rashes.
- the electronic functional component described in Patent Document 4 uses urethane nanofiber fibers and a coating layer formed from a silicone resin such as polymethylsiloxane on the nanometer order.
- the thin film described in Patent Document 4 is a sheet in which the coating layer is reinforced by the fibers due to the presence of the fibers within the coating layer.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 are attached to the skin by dissolving part of the fiber net in water, and there is a problem in that if the fiber net gets wet during use, it re-dissolves and is prone to peeling off.
- the polymer nanosheet in the electronic device and the sheet serving as the coating layer in the electronic functional member may follow the object other than the object to be adhered when they are in contact with the object if their film thickness is thin. This may cause the polymer nanosheet and the sheet serving as the coating layer to peel off or be damaged. Furthermore, thin film sheets are generally manufactured by the roll-to-roll method.
- the electronic device described in Patent Document 3 and the electronic functional member described in Patent Document 4 have a problem in that the polymer nanosheet and the sheet serving as the coating layer are easily damaged during the manufacturing process using the roll-to-roll method due to their high followability.
- the objective of the present invention is to provide a sheet that has excellent adhesion to the body surface, etc., and is unlikely to peel off or break due to contact with anything other than the object to which it is attached.
- a polymer laminate sheet in which one outermost layer is a polymer thin film having a specific thickness and the other outermost layer is a nonwoven fabric layer composed of fibers having a specific diameter can solve the above problems, leading to the completion of the present invention.

- the polymer laminate sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention does not require adhesives and/or gels, and can be directly attached to the target object. Furthermore, the polymer laminate sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention can reduce the possibility of peeling and/or damage due to contact with other objects after attachment. Furthermore, even if the polymer laminate sheet does become damaged, the extent of the damage can be reduced.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a method for attaching a jig to a sheet used in the examples and comparative examples.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a method for testing adhesive strength to a skin model in the examples and comparative examples. 1 shows the "displacement-load curves" obtained in the examples and comparative examples.
- Adhesive sheets are generally manufactured by the roll-to-roll method.
- the adhesive sheet is manufactured by forming a film on a long roll-shaped carrier film. Then, the adhesive sheet manufactured on the carrier film is wound up on another roll together with the carrier film while applying a constant winding pressure by a tension roll.
- the adhesive sheet may transfer to the back surface of the carrier film, the protective film surface, and/or the roll during processing or transportation. This transfer may cause damage to the adhesive sheet.
- the adhesive strength between the carrier film surface and the adhesive sheet is strong, transfer is unlikely to occur.
- the adhesive sheet is peeled off from the carrier film and used independently as a flexible substrate, the adhesive strength between the adhesive sheet and the carrier film cannot be increased more than necessary.
- the polymer laminate sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention has one outermost layer which is a polymer thin film layer and the other outermost layer which is a nonwoven fabric layer, and there is a large difference in adhesive strength between the two layers and the carrier film.
- the polymer laminate sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention has a large adhesive strength of the polymer thin film layer, which is the outermost layer that contacts the carrier film and the object to be attached, and a small adhesive strength of the nonwoven fabric layer, which is the outermost layer on the other side, and thus prevents the transference.
- the present invention relates to a polymer laminate sheet that can be directly attached to an object and is difficult to peel off.
- a polymer laminate sheet according to a first embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "polymer laminate sheet of the present invention") is a polymer laminate sheet formed by laminating at least one polymer thin film layer and at least one nonwoven fabric layer, one outermost layer being the polymer thin film layer and the other outermost layer being the nonwoven fabric layer, the polymer thin film layer and the nonwoven fabric layer being bonded by intermolecular forces, the one outermost layer being a polymer thin film layer having a film thickness of 10 nm or more and 1000 nm or less, and the other outermost layer being a nonwoven fabric layer composed of polymer fibers having a diameter of 10 nm or more and 10 ⁇ m or less.
- the polymer thin film layer comes into contact with the object to which it is to be applied and has the function of adhering the polymer laminate sheet to the object to which it is to be applied.
- the polymer thin film layer does not come into contact with anything other than the object to which it is to be applied. Therefore, for example, when the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention is placed so that the polymer thin film layer comes into contact with the body surface and is pressed against the body surface with the palm of the hand to adhere the polymer laminate sheet, the polymer laminate sheet will not stick to the palm. Therefore, the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can be easily applied to the body surface and is easy to handle when in use. To achieve such an effect, it is preferable that there is no part of the polymer thin film layer that does not overlap with the nonwoven fabric layer.
- one (one) of the outermost layers is a polymer thin film layer having a film thickness of 10 nm or more and 1000 nm or less.
- polymer thin film layer refers to the polymer thin film layer that is the one of the outermost layers.
- the polymer thin film layer functions as a layer that comes into contact with the object to which it is to be affixed. Since the polymer thin film layer is thin, having a thickness of 1000 nm or less, it conforms to the minute irregularities of the attachment surface of the object to which it is to be affixed, and as a result, the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention has the property of being able to adhere to the object to which it is to be affixed. Therefore, the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention does not require an adhesive, gel, or the like, and can be directly affixed to the object to which it is to be affixed. Furthermore, since the polymer thin film layer has a thickness of 10 nm or more, the strength of the polymer thin film layer and the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can be ensured to a degree that does not cause damage during the manufacturing process.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention has a nonwoven fabric layer in which the other outermost layer is made of polymer fibers having a diameter of 10 nm or more and 10 ⁇ m or less.
- nonwoven fabric layer refers to the nonwoven fabric layer that is the other outermost layer.
- the polymer thin film layer is bonded to the nonwoven fabric layer by intermolecular forces.
- "bonded by intermolecular forces” means that the polymer thin film layer and the nonwoven fabric layer are not integrated, but have a structure in which the polymer thin film layer and the nonwoven fabric layer are laminated as independent layers.
- the polymer thin film layer conforms to and adheres not only to the object to which it is attached, but also to the nonwoven fabric. Therefore, when laminating a nonwoven fabric layer to a polymer thin film layer, there is no need to melt the fibers of the nonwoven fabric layer or the polymer thin film layer by heat, and no adhesive and/or adhesive is required. If the fibers of the nonwoven fabric layer or the polymer thin film layer are melted by heat, the polymer laminate sheet becomes hard, resulting in a decrease in flexibility and stretchability.
- the nonwoven fabric layer has a structure in which fibers are entangled, and is easily deformed. Therefore, even if a nonwoven fabric layer is laminated on a polymer thin film layer that has good conformability to the object to which it is to be attached, the high conformability of the polymer thin film layer to the object to which it is to be attached is unlikely to be impaired. Therefore, the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention has excellent conformability to the unevenness and deformation of the surface of the object to which it is to be attached, and as a result, it can be directly attached to the object to which it is to be attached, without having to apply an adhesive, gel, etc. to the outermost layer of the polymer laminate sheet on the side of the object to which it is to be attached.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention When the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention is used by attaching it to an object to which it is to be attached, as described above, the polymer thin film layer, which is the outermost layer on one side, comes into contact with the object to which it is to be attached, and the nonwoven fabric layer, which is the outermost layer on the other side, is exposed to the outside and may come into contact with objects other than the object to which it is to be attached.
- the nonwoven fabric layer in one embodiment of the present invention is composed of polymer fibers having a diameter of 10 nm or more and 10 ⁇ m or less. Therefore, when the polymer thin film layer is attached to the object to be attached, the nonwoven fabric layer can come into contact with an object other than the object to be attached. In this case, the contact between the nonwoven fabric layer and the object other than the object to be attached is a suitable point contact.
- the contact surface of the object other than the object to be attached that comes into contact with the nonwoven fabric layer is also referred to as the "other surface”.
- suitable point contact means that the contact area between the fibers in the nonwoven fabric layer and the other surface is smaller than the contact area between the conventional fibers having a diameter of more than 10 ⁇ m and the other surface.
- the nonwoven fabric layer is composed of polymer fibers having a diameter of 10 nm or more, and has a strength sufficient to prevent breakage.
- Flexible substrates such as polymer laminate sheets are generally formed on a carrier film using a roll-to-roll method.
- the carrier film and the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention are manufactured while being wound on a roll.
- the polymer thin film layer and nonwoven fabric layer of the present invention come into contact with the carrier film, protective sheet, roll, etc.
- the adhesive sheet has the configuration of the present invention
- the nonwoven fabric layer and the carrier film, protective sheet, roll, etc. are in good point contact. Therefore, the shear stress generated during the film formation is reduced, and as a result, the nonwoven fabric layer and the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention are less likely to break.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention is prevented from the transfer during film formation. Therefore, the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can be stably manufactured on the carrier film using the roll-to-roll method.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can be directly attached to the target object without applying an adhesive, gel, or the like to the outermost layer of the polymer laminate sheet on the target side, and has the effect of improving the handleability required for a stable manufacturing process.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention has the effect of reducing the possibility of damage due to contact with other objects after attachment, and even if such damage does occur, it is possible to reduce the severity of the damage.
- the shape of the attachment surface of the polymer thin film layer to the attachment target may change. If the shape of the attachment surface of the polymer thin film layer changes, stress is applied to the polymer thin film layer, which may cause a shift between the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention and the attachment target, resulting in a decrease in the adhesive strength between the polymer laminate sheet and the attachment target.
- the stress is alleviated by being dispersed through the structure (network) formed from the fibers in the nonwoven fabric layer, making it possible to prevent a decrease in the adhesive strength between the polymer laminate sheet and the attachment target, or to reduce the amount of decrease.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention has a nonwoven fabric layer laminated on a thin polymer layer, but because the thickness is thin, it has high moisture permeability and air permeability, and causes almost no discomfort when used.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can be easily fixed to the desired position on the target surface without using adhesives, gels, etc. that hinder moisture permeability and conformability to deformation, and is unlikely to cause rashes, etc.
- the thickness of the polymer thin film layer which is one of the outermost layers, is 10 nm or more and 1000 nm or less.
- the thinner the thickness of the polymer thin film layer the better the ability to follow the fine unevenness of the application surface of the application target. Therefore, the smaller the thickness of the polymer thin film layer, the better the adhesion between the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention and the application target, which is preferable.
- the thickness of the polymer thin film layer of the present invention is preferably 500 nm or less, more preferably 300 nm or less.

It is preferable to select one or more of the above specific examples in order to obtain excellent adhesion and conformability between the polymer thin film layer and the surface of the body tissue to which it is to be applied. If the polymer thin film layer has a multi-layer structure, it is preferable that at least one of the outermost polymer thin film layers and the contact surface with the subject to be applied is formed of the above polymer material.
- the nonwoven fabric layer is composed of polymer fibers having a diameter of 10 nm or more and 10 ⁇ m or less.
- the smaller the diameter of the polymer fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric layer the smaller the contact area between the polymer fibers and other surfaces.
- the possibility of damage to the nonwoven fabric layer and the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention caused by transfer and rubbing is suitably reduced.
- the smaller the diameter of the polymer fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric layer the easier it is to deform, so the conformability is high, and the film thickness can be reduced while maintaining strength.

- the diameter of the polymer fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric layer is preferably 3 ⁇ m or less, more preferably 2 ⁇ m or less, and even more preferably 1 ⁇ m or less.
- the diameter of the polymer fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric layer is preferably 100 nm or more, and more preferably 300 nm or more.
- the cross-sectional shape of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric layer may be generally circular or elliptical. This is because the fibers of the nonwoven fabric layer are not subjected to a heat treatment or the like after the nonwoven fabric layer is laminated on the polymer thin film layer, and the shape is not changed by dissolution.
- the cross-sectional shape of the fibers of the nonwoven fabric layer is generally circular or elliptical, the contact area between the nonwoven fabric layer and other surfaces is small.

Using a gravure coater (ML-120, manufactured by Yasui Seiki Co., Ltd.), a 5 wt% aqueous solution of water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, PVA500 manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.) was applied onto the substrate while winding it up in a roll-to-roll manner, and then dried to form a film, thereby forming a sacrificial layer on the substrate.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- PVA water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol
- the manufacturing conditions at that time were a linear speed of 0.8 m/min, a coating amount of the 5 wt% aqueous solution of PVA of 1 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 g/cm 2 , a drying temperature of 80° C., and a drying time of 30 seconds.
- a polymer thin film layer was formed on the sacrificial layer.
- a polymer thin film layer substrate was formed by the following method. Polystyrene butadiene styrene (SBS, manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich Japan, styrene 30 wt%, average Mw 140,000 by GPC) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) so that the SBS concentration was 5 wt%, to prepare SBS solution A.
- SBS Polystyrene butadiene styrene
- THF tetrahydrofuran
- SBS solution A was applied onto the sacrificial layer, and then dried to form a film, forming a polymer thin film layer on the sacrificial layer.
- the film formation at that time was performed by a roll-to-roll method.
- the manufacturing conditions were as follows: linear speed: 1.3 m/min, coating amount of SBS solution A: 2 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 4 g/cm 2 , drying temperature: 40° C., and drying time: 30 seconds.
- the polymer thin film layer was placed on a drum collector (width 200 mm, diameter 200 mm).
- Polymer fibers were obtained by spinning SBS solution B using a nanofiber electrospinning device NANON-01 manufactured by MEC Corporation under the conditions of solution discharge amount: 1 ml/h, applied voltage: 22.5 kV, and syringe needle tip-collector distance: 150 mm.
- the obtained polymer fibers were deposited on the polymer thin film layer placed on the drum collector for a predetermined time of 1 h while rotating the drum collector under the conditions of a rotation speed of 100 rpm and a syringe movement speed of 30 mm/sec.
- a nonwoven fabric layer formed from polymer fibers was laminated on the polymer thin film layer, and a polymer laminate sheet was obtained.
- the amount of polymer fibers deposited was 0.116 mg/ cm2 .
- Two polymer laminate sheet pieces (40 mm square) were then cut from the polymer laminate sheet, and one polymer laminate sheet piece was used to prepare sample A, and the other polymer laminate sheet piece was used to prepare sample B.
- Comparative Example 1 A thin film sheet was produced by forming a polymer thin film layer on the sacrificial layer in the same manner as in Example 1.
- the sheet produced in Comparative Example 1 does not have a nonwoven fabric layer laminated on the polymer thin film layer, unlike the polymer laminate sheet produced in Example 1. Thereafter, a thin film sheet piece was cut out from the thin film sheet in the same shape as the polymer laminate sheet piece in the same manner as in Example 1, and used to prepare Sample C.
- the polymer thin film layer has a thickness in the range of 10 nm to 1000 nm, and the nonwoven fabric layer is made of polymer fibers having a diameter of 10 nm to 10 ⁇ m.
- Samples A and B are identical except for the contact surface with the skin model.
- the thin film sheet of Comparative Example 1 included in Sample C corresponds to an adhesive sheet that has been used conventionally as a flexible substrate. From the above and the description in Table 2, it was found that the adhesive strength of Sample A using the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1 is higher than that of Sample C using the thin film sheet of Comparative Example 1 that simulates a conventional adhesive sheet.
- the polymer thin film layers of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are the same, but the polymer thin film layer of Example 1 has a higher adhesive strength. It is considered that the stress applied to the polymer thin film layer of the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1 is alleviated by the nonwoven fabric layer, improving the adhesive strength. Therefore, it can be understood that the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1 has excellent conformability and self-adhesion to the target, and can be directly attached to the target without applying an adhesive, gel, etc. to the outermost layer of the polymer laminate sheet on the target side.
- the adhesive strength of sample B was 1/50 of that of sample A.
- the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1 has extremely low adhesion between the nonwoven fabric side and the skin model.
- the adhesive strength between the nonwoven fabric layer and the skin model was evaluated, but the same behavior is observed when it comes into contact with objects other than the skin model.
- the difference in adhesive strength between one outermost layer and the other outermost layer with respect to the target object must be at least 10 times. For example, if the adhesive strength of the nonwoven fabric layer is about 1/3 of the adhesive strength of the polymer thin film layer, the adhesive strength of the nonwoven fabric layer is still high and is insufficient to prevent transfer.
- the adhesive strength of sample B of the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention is 1/50 of that of sample A, and it was found that transfer can be sufficiently prevented. Therefore, the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1 is prevented from transferring to a carrier film or the like when manufactured by a roll-to-roll method, and from transferring to other surfaces during use. Therefore, it can be seen that the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1 has improved handling properties, which are necessary for a stable manufacturing process. It can also be seen that when using the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1, the nonwoven fabric layer exposed on the surface will not stick to anything other than the object to which it is to be attached, even if it comes into contact with such an object. It can also be seen that this reduces the possibility of damage caused by the transfer described above in the polymer laminate sheet of Example 1, and that even if damage does occur, the degree of damage can be reduced.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can be directly attached to the target object without applying an adhesive, gel, etc. to the outermost layer of the polymer laminate sheet on the target side, and has the effect of improving the handleability required for a stable manufacturing process. It was also found that the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention has the effect of reducing the possibility of damage caused by contact with other objects after attachment, and, even if such damage does occur, reducing the severity of the damage.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can be used to manufacture self-adhesive sheets and electrodes when wearable devices/implantable devices, etc., come into contact with the surface of body tissue.
- the polymer laminate sheet of the present invention can also be used to manufacture sheets and electrodes that are highly moisture-permeable and breathable, and are unlikely to cause skin trouble even when worn for several days.
