Description

本発明は、エポキシ樹脂用硬化剤およびエポキシ樹脂組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a curing agent for epoxy resins and an epoxy resin composition.

ジヒドラジド化合物はエポキシ樹脂の硬化剤として使用した場合、透明性の高い硬化物が得られる特徴があり、透明性が必要な電子デバイスなどのエポキシ樹脂封止材や接着剤の硬化剤として有用である。しかしながら、ジヒドラジド化合物を使用したエポキシ樹脂組成物は硬化性、特に低温での硬化性が不十分であるという問題がある。 When used as a curing agent for epoxy resins, dihydrazide compounds are characterized by the ability to produce highly transparent cured products, making them useful as curing agents for epoxy resin encapsulants and adhesives for electronic devices that require transparency. However, epoxy resin compositions that use dihydrazide compounds have the problem of insufficient curing properties, particularly at low temperatures.

特許文献1には、ジヒドラジド化合物と二塩基酸を組合せて使用することで、エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性を改善する技術が開示されている。しかしながら、特許文献1のエポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性は必ずしも十分なものとはいえず、更なる硬化性の改善が求められている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for improving the curability of an epoxy resin composition by using a combination of a dihydrazide compound and a dibasic acid. However, the curability of the epoxy resin composition in Patent Document 1 is not necessarily sufficient, and further improvements in curability are desired.

本発明により、硬化性に優れるエポキシ樹脂組成物をもたらす、ジヒドラジド化合物を含むエポキシ樹脂用硬化剤を提供することができる。 The present invention provides an epoxy resin curing agent containing a dihydrazide compound that results in an epoxy resin composition with excellent curing properties.

本発明は、(A)ジヒドラジド化合物と、(B)芳香族カルボン酸又は脂肪族カルボン酸と、を含む、硬化剤組成物であって、前記芳香族カルボン酸が、1個のカルボキシ基と0~2個のヒドロキシ基とを有する芳香環を1個又は2個含み、前記脂肪族カルボン酸が、1個のカルボキシ基と1個のヒドロキシ基とを含む、直鎖又は分岐鎖の飽和脂肪族カルボン酸である、硬化剤組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a curing agent composition comprising (A) a dihydrazide compound and (B) an aromatic carboxylic acid or an aliphatic carboxylic acid, wherein the aromatic carboxylic acid contains one or two aromatic rings each having one carboxy group and zero to two hydroxy groups, and the aliphatic carboxylic acid is a linear or branched saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid containing one carboxy group and one hydroxy group.

本発明では、硬化剤としてジヒドラジド化合物を使用することによって、透明性の高い硬化物を得ることができる。ジヒドラジド化合物は、特に限定されないが、エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性の観点から、融点が250℃以下のものが好ましく、硬化物の透明性の観点からは、185℃以下のものがより好ましく、170℃以下のものがさらにより好ましい。ジヒドラジド化合物の融点の下限値は特に制限されず、例えば、60℃、80℃、又は100℃であってもよい。 In the present invention, by using a dihydrazide compound as a curing agent, a highly transparent cured product can be obtained. The dihydrazide compound is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the curability of the epoxy resin composition, one with a melting point of 250°C or less is preferred. From the viewpoint of the transparency of the cured product, one with a melting point of 185°C or less is more preferred, and one with a melting point of 170°C or less is even more preferred. The lower limit of the melting point of the dihydrazide compound is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 60°C, 80°C, or 100°C.

ジヒドラジド化合物は粒子状のものが好ましい。粒子状のジヒドラジド化合物の粒子径は、エポキシ樹脂への溶解性や反応性を高める観点からメジアン径が100μm以下のものが好ましく、エポキシ樹脂組成物の粘性を下げる、あるいはエポキシ樹脂への分散性を高めるためにはメジアン径が0.1μm以上のものが好ましく、1~50μmであることがより好ましく、1~20μmであることが更により好ましい。粒子径がこの範囲外にあるもの、あるいは粒子同士が密着して凝集物を形成している場合は、エポキシ樹脂と混合する過程で3本ロールミルやプラネタリーミキサーなどで粒子を潰して、あるいは分散させて、メジアン径を上記範囲内とすることが好ましい。メジアン径は、レーザー回折散乱式粒度分布測定(JIS Z 8825)により粒度分布を体積基準で作成したときの該粒度分布から求めることができる。レーザー回折散乱式粒径分布測定装置としては、堀場製作所社製「LA-500」、島津製作所社製「SALD-2200」等を使用することができる 。 The dihydrazide compound is preferably in particulate form. The particle size of the particulate dihydrazide compound preferably has a median diameter of 100 μm or less to enhance solubility and reactivity in the epoxy resin. To reduce the viscosity of the epoxy resin composition or enhance dispersibility in the epoxy resin, the median diameter is preferably 0.1 μm or more, more preferably 1 to 50 μm, and even more preferably 1 to 20 μm. If the particle size is outside this range or if the particles adhere to each other to form aggregates, it is preferable to crush or disperse the particles using a three-roll mill or planetary mixer during mixing with the epoxy resin to bring the median diameter within the above range. The median diameter can be determined from the particle size distribution obtained by laser diffraction/scattering particle size distribution measurement (JIS Z 8825) on a volume basis. Examples of laser diffraction/scattering particle size distribution measuring devices that can be used include the LA-500 manufactured by Horiba Ltd. and the SALD-2200 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation.

好ましいジヒドラジド化合物としては、例えば、1,3-ビス(ヒドラジノカルボノエチル)-5-イソプロピルヒダントイン、7,11-オクタデカジエン-1,18-ジカルボヒドラジド、アジピン酸ジヒドラジド、ドデカン二酸ジヒドラジド、イソフタル酸ジヒドラジド等を挙げることができる。ジヒドラジド化合物は、一種単独で用いてもよく、二種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。 Preferred dihydrazide compounds include, for example, 1,3-bis(hydrazinocarbonoethyl)-5-isopropylhydantoin, 7,11-octadecadiene-1,18-dicarbohydrazide, adipic acid dihydrazide, dodecanedioic acid dihydrazide, and isophthalic acid dihydrazide. Dihydrazide compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

硬化剤組成物を100質量%とした場合、ジヒドラジド化合物は、好ましくは80~99質量%、より好ましくは85~98.5質量%、更に好ましくは90~98質量%の量で、硬化剤組成物に含まれる。ジヒドラジド化合物の量が上記範囲内であれば、エポキシ樹脂と混合してエポキシ樹脂組成物とした場合に、組成物のポットライフが良好であり、また硬化反応が均一となる傾向となるので好ましい。 When the curing agent composition is taken as 100% by mass, the dihydrazide compound is preferably contained in the curing agent composition in an amount of 80 to 99% by mass, more preferably 85 to 98.5% by mass, and even more preferably 90 to 98% by mass. If the amount of the dihydrazide compound is within the above range, when it is mixed with an epoxy resin to form an epoxy resin composition, the composition will have a good pot life and the curing reaction will tend to be uniform, which is preferable.

本発明の硬化剤組成物は、特定の構造を有する芳香族カルボン酸又は脂肪族カルボン酸を含む。芳香族カルボン酸又は脂肪族カルボン酸は、ジヒドラジド化合物によるエポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化を促進する機能を有する。 The curing agent composition of the present invention contains an aromatic carboxylic acid or an aliphatic carboxylic acid having a specific structure. The aromatic carboxylic acid or the aliphatic carboxylic acid functions to promote the curing of the epoxy resin composition with the dihydrazide compound.

芳香族カルボン酸は、1個のカルボキシ基と0~2個のヒドロキシ基とを有する芳香環を1個又は2個含む。カルボキシ基、ヒドロキシ基及び芳香環の数が上記範囲内であれば、ジヒドラジド化合物の反応をより促進することが可能である。芳香族カルボン酸は、エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性の観点から、融点が300℃以下であることが好ましく、硬化物の透明性の観点から、250℃以下であることがより好ましく、220℃以下であることがさらにより好ましい。芳香族カルボン酸の融点の下限値には特に制限はないが、例えば、80℃以上、100℃以上、または120℃以上であってもよい。 The aromatic carboxylic acid contains one or two aromatic rings each having one carboxy group and zero to two hydroxy groups. If the number of carboxy groups, hydroxy groups, and aromatic rings is within the above range, the reaction of the dihydrazide compound can be further accelerated. From the viewpoint of the curability of the epoxy resin composition, the aromatic carboxylic acid preferably has a melting point of 300°C or less. From the viewpoint of the transparency of the cured product, the melting point is more preferably 250°C or less, and even more preferably 220°C or less. There is no particular restriction on the lower limit of the melting point of the aromatic carboxylic acid, but it may be, for example, 80°C or more, 100°C or more, or 120°C or more.

芳香族カルボン酸としては、例えば、ベンゼン環を有する化合物の他、ビフェニルやベンゾフェノンのような複数のベンゼン環が結合している芳香族多環化合物、ナフタレン環、アントラセン、フェナントレンのような縮合環化合物、ピリジン、フラン、インドールのように炭素の他、窒素、酸素などの複数の元素で環構造が構成される複素芳香族化合物等が挙げられる。エポキシ樹脂への溶解性の観点から、一分子中の環数が3以下のものが好ましい。好ましい芳香族カルボン酸としては、例えば、サリチル酸、メチレンジサリチル酸、2-ヒドロキシ-1-ナフトエ酸、3-メチルサリチル酸、2,5-ジヒドロキシ安息香酸、3-フェニルサリチル酸、安息香酸等を挙げることができる。芳香族カルボン酸は、一種単独で用いてもよく、二種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。 Aromatic carboxylic acids include, for example, compounds having a benzene ring; aromatic polycyclic compounds having multiple benzene rings bonded together, such as biphenyl and benzophenone; condensed ring compounds such as naphthalene, anthracene, and phenanthrene; and heteroaromatic compounds having a ring structure composed of multiple elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, such as pyridine, furan, and indole. From the perspective of solubility in epoxy resins, compounds having three or fewer rings per molecule are preferred. Preferred examples of aromatic carboxylic acids include salicylic acid, methylenedisalicylic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid, 3-methylsalicylic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3-phenylsalicylic acid, and benzoic acid. Aromatic carboxylic acids may be used alone or in combination.

脂肪族カルボン酸は、1個のカルボキシ基と1個のヒドロキシ基とを含む、直鎖又は分岐鎖の飽和脂肪族カルボン酸である。脂肪族カルボン酸の炭素数は、エポキシ樹脂への溶解性の観点から、2個又は3個であることが好ましい。本明細書において、脂肪族カルボン酸の炭素数とは、化合物全体に含まれる炭素のうち、カルボキシ基を構成する炭素を除いた残りの炭素の数をいう。 Aliphatic carboxylic acids are linear or branched saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids containing one carboxy group and one hydroxy group. From the viewpoint of solubility in epoxy resins, the number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic carboxylic acid is preferably two or three. In this specification, the number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic carboxylic acid refers to the number of carbon atoms remaining in the entire compound, excluding the carbon atoms constituting the carboxy group.

好ましい脂肪族カルボン酸としては、例えば、乳酸を挙げることができる。 A preferred aliphatic carboxylic acid is, for example, lactic acid.

硬化剤組成物を100質量%とした場合、芳香族カルボン酸又は脂肪族カルボン酸は、好ましくは1~20質量%、より好ましくは1.5~15質量%、更に好ましくは2~10質量%の量で、硬化剤組成物に含まれる。芳香族カルボン酸又は脂肪族カルボン酸の量が上記範囲内であれば、ジヒドラジド化合物によるエポキシ樹脂の硬化を十分に促進できる。 When the curing agent composition is taken as 100% by mass, the aromatic carboxylic acid or aliphatic carboxylic acid is preferably contained in the curing agent composition in an amount of 1 to 20% by mass, more preferably 1.5 to 15% by mass, and even more preferably 2 to 10% by mass. If the amount of aromatic carboxylic acid or aliphatic carboxylic acid is within the above range, curing of the epoxy resin by the dihydrazide compound can be sufficiently promoted.

本発明における芳香族カルボン酸や脂肪族カルボン酸は、エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化促進の観点から、アミノ基、ホルミル基、カルボニル基、チオール基、スルホン酸基、ハロゲン等の、カルボキシ基及びヒドロキシ基以外の官能基を含まないことが好ましい。 From the viewpoint of accelerating the curing of the epoxy resin composition, the aromatic carboxylic acid and aliphatic carboxylic acid used in the present invention preferably do not contain functional groups other than carboxyl groups and hydroxyl groups, such as amino groups, formyl groups, carbonyl groups, thiol groups, sulfonic acid groups, or halogens.

[Gel time measurement]
A hot plate gelation tester (GT-D, manufactured by Nissin Chemical Co., Ltd.) was used. Approximately 0.5 g of the resin composition was placed on a hot plate heated to 100°C for compositions containing VDH-J as a dihydrazide compound, or to 130°C, 140°C, or 150°C for compositions containing compounds other than VDH-J, so that the diameter of the composition was within 25 mm. The composition was stirred with a spatula having a tip width of approximately 5 mm, rotating once per second, and the gel time was determined by lifting the spatula to a height of 30 mm from the top of the hot plate until the composition no longer formed strings. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

[硬化物の透明性の測定]
各エポキシ樹脂組成物を直径3cmの底面が平滑な缶の容器に気泡が入らないように2ml投入し、容器の底面全面が樹脂配合物で満たされるようにスパチュラを用いて樹脂配合物を広げ、熱風循環式オーブンで、ジヒドラジド化合物としてVDH-Jを含む組成物については100℃、VDH-J以外を含む組成物については130℃、140℃又は150℃で30分加熱し、硬化したものについて、硬化物に傷がつかないように缶の容器からはがして硬化物を得た。φ80mm積分球(型名SRS-99-010、反射率99%)を装着したファイバ式分光光度計(MCPD-7700、形式311C、大塚電子社製、外部光源ユニット:ハロゲンランプMC-2564(24V、150W仕様))を使用して、硬化物の光透過率スペクトルを測定した。得られた光透過率スペクトルから、硬化物の400nmの全光線透過率を算出した。結果を表1~3に示す。
[Measurement of Transparency of Cured Product]
2 ml of each epoxy resin composition was poured into a 3 cm diameter, smooth-bottomed canister, taking care to avoid air bubbles. The resin formulation was spread using a spatula so that the entire bottom of the canister was filled with the resin formulation. The composition was then heated in a hot-air circulating oven for 30 minutes at 100°C for compositions containing VDH-J as a dihydrazide compound, or at 130°C, 140°C, or 150°C for compositions containing compounds other than VDH-J. The cured product was then peeled from the canister without scratching it to obtain a cured product. The light transmittance spectra of the cured products were measured using a fiber-optic spectrophotometer (MCPD-7700, Model 311C, Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd., external light source unit: halogen lamp MC-2564 (24 V, 150 W specification)) equipped with an 80 mm φ integrating sphere (model SRS-99-010, reflectance 99%). The total light transmittance at 400 nm of the cured product was calculated from the obtained light transmittance spectra. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

ジヒドラジド化合物としてVDH-Jを含む実施例1~8と比較例1~9とを比較すると、本発明のカルボン酸化合物を含む実施例1~8では、本発明のカルボン酸化合物及び比較物質を含まない比較例1や、同程度の量の比較物質を含む比較例2~9よりも、ゲルタイムが短かった。また、VDH-J以外のジヒドラジド化合物を含む実施例9~12と比較例10~13についても、同じジヒドラジド化合物を含むもの同士で比較すると、本発明のカルボン酸化合物を含む実施例9~12では、本発明のカルボン酸化合物及び比較物質を含まない比較例10~13よりも、ゲルタイムが短かった。 When Examples 1 to 8, which contain VDH-J as the dihydrazide compound, are compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 9, Examples 1 to 8, which contain the carboxylic acid compound of the present invention, had a shorter gel time than Comparative Example 1, which does not contain the carboxylic acid compound of the present invention or a comparative substance, and Comparative Examples 2 to 9, which contain similar amounts of a comparative substance. Furthermore, when Examples 9 to 12 and Comparative Examples 10 to 13, which contain dihydrazide compounds other than VDH-J, are compared with each other, Examples 9 to 12, which contain the carboxylic acid compound of the present invention, had a shorter gel time than Comparative Examples 10 to 13, which do not contain the carboxylic acid compound of the present invention or a comparative substance.

硬化物の透明性の測定において、比較例1~13ではいずれも硬化性が不十分なため、測定のための硬化物が得られなかったのに対し、実施例1~12ではいずれも硬化物が得られた。硬化物が得られた実施例1~12について、透過率を求めたところ、使用したジヒドラジド化合物の融点が低いものほど透明性が高い傾向が見られ、特にVDH-Jを含む組成物からは透明性の高い硬化物が得られた。 When measuring the transparency of the cured products, Comparative Examples 1 to 13 all showed insufficient curing, making it impossible to obtain cured products suitable for measurement, whereas Examples 1 to 12 all produced cured products. When the transmittance was measured for Examples 1 to 12, in which cured products were obtained, it was found that the lower the melting point of the dihydrazide compound used, the higher the transparency tended to be, and compositions containing VDH-J in particular produced cured products with high transparency.

本発明の硬化剤組成物を使用したエポキシ樹脂組成物は、接着剤や封止材に好適に用いることができ、その硬化物は、電子デバイスとして使用することができる。 Epoxy resin compositions using the curing agent composition of the present invention can be suitably used as adhesives and sealants, and the cured products can be used in electronic devices.
