Technical Field

The present invention relates to a terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer having good solvent solubility.

Background

Resin materials are widely used as engineering plastics because of their advantages such as light weight, low cost, and excellent processability, and are not directly used as substitute materials because of their inferior surface hardness, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and the like, compared to glass and metal. In order to improve these disadvantages of resin materials, a resin film made of a material different from that of the base material is generally formed on the surface of the resin, and hard coating treatment is performed to protect the resin of the base material from external factors and to modify the surface. The hard coat layer is formed by applying a hard coating agent to the resin surface of the base material, drying the coating agent, and curing the coating agent by irradiating the resin surface with radiation such as electron beam or Ultraviolet (UV) rays as necessary (for example, patent documents 1 and 2). Among them, a UV curable hard coating agent using a UV curable resin has higher productivity because it can be processed at a lower temperature and in a shorter time than conventional hard coating agents, and is used in various applications.

Since the UV-curable hard coating agent uses a multifunctional (meth) acrylic monomer such as pentaerythritol (meth) acrylate as a main component, it is required that the component to be blended is highly compatible with the multifunctional (meth) acrylic monomer.

[ chemical formula 5]

(R in the formula (B))₁～R₄、R₆、R₇And X is as defined in the above formulae (1) and (2). )

Further, a dihalogenated carbonyl compound such as phosgene, and triphosgene may be mentioned. Among these, diaryl carbonates are preferred, and diphenyl carbonate is particularly preferred.

< about the molten transesterification method >

The melt transesterification method is explained as a method for producing a polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (A).

The melt transesterification reaction is carried out by using a dihydroxy compound represented by formula (B) and diphenyl carbonate as a carbonate-forming agent, stirring the mixture while heating the mixture in the presence of a catalyst under an inert gas atmosphere at normal pressure or reduced pressure, and distilling off the produced phenol. In general, the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (A) having a desired molecular weight and an amount of terminal hydroxyl groups can be obtained by adjusting the mixing ratio of the dihydroxy compound represented by the formula (B) and the carbonate forming agent and the degree of reduced pressure during the transesterification reaction.

In order to obtain the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (A), the mixing ratio of the dihydroxy compound represented by the formula (B) and the carbonate forming agent is usually 0.2 to 1.0 mol times, preferably 0.25 to 0.95 mol times, and more preferably 0.3 to 0.90 mol times based on 1 mol of the dihydroxy compound represented by the formula (B).

In the melt transesterification reaction, a transesterification catalyst is used as necessary in order to increase the reaction rate. The transesterification catalyst is not particularly limited, and for example, the following known transesterification catalysts can be used: alkali metal compounds such as inorganic alkali metal compounds including hydroxides, carbonates, and hydrogen carbonate compounds of lithium, sodium, and cesium, and organic alkali metal compounds such as alcoholates and organic carboxylates; alkaline earth metal compounds such as hydroxides of beryllium, magnesium and the like, inorganic alkaline earth metal compounds such as carbonates and the like, and organic alkaline earth metal compounds such as alcoholates, organic carboxylates and the like; basic boron compounds such as sodium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts and the like of tetramethyl boron, tetraethyl boron, butyl triphenyl boron and the like; trivalent phosphorus compounds such as triethylphosphine and tri-n-propylphosphine, and basic phosphorus compounds such as 4-grade phosphonium salts derived from these compounds; basic ammonium compounds such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide; amine compounds such as 4-aminopyridine, 2-dimethylaminoimidazole and aminoquinoline. Among them, alkali metal compounds are preferable, and cesium compounds such as cesium carbonate and cesium hydroxide are particularly preferable.

The amount of the catalyst to be used is not limited to the range in which the quality of the resulting oligomer based on the catalyst residue does not become a problem, and the amount of the catalyst to be added varies depending on the kind of the catalyst, but is generally 0.05 to 100. mu. mol, preferably 0.08 to 50. mu. mol, more preferably 0.1 to 20. mu. mol, and still more preferably 0.1 to 5. mu. mol, based on 1 mol of the dihydroxy compound represented by the formula (B), for example. The catalyst may be added as it is or dissolved in a solvent and then added, and as the solvent, for example, water, phenol, or the like which does not affect the reaction is preferable.

The reaction conditions for the melt transesterification reaction are usually in the range of 120 to 360 ℃, preferably 150 to 280 ℃, and more preferably 180 to 260 ℃. If the reaction temperature is too low, the transesterification reaction does not proceed, and if the reaction temperature is high, side reactions such as decomposition reaction proceed, which is not preferable. The reaction is preferably carried out under reduced pressure. The reaction pressure is preferably a pressure at which the carbonate forming agent as a raw material is not distilled out of the system and a by-product such as phenol can be distilled out at the reaction temperature. Under such reaction conditions, the reaction is usually completed in about 0.5 to 10 hours.

< relating to (meth) acrylation >

As shown in the above reaction formulae, the terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (1) and/or (2) of the present invention is obtained by reacting the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (a) with a (meth) acrylating agent such as (meth) acryloyl chloride.

Specific examples of the (meth) acryloyl acidifier include acryloyl chloride, methacryloyl chloride, acrylic acid, and methacrylic acid.

The amount of the (meth) acrylating agent used is generally 1.0 to 2.5 mol times, preferably 1.1 to 2.0 mol times, and more preferably 1.15 to 1.5 mol times, based on the total terminal hydroxyl groups of the polycarbonate oligomer represented by formula (a), when obtaining the both-terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by formula (1).

In order to obtain a one-side terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (2), a (meth) acrylic acidifier is generally used in an amount of 0.5 to 1.5 mol per one-terminal hydroxyl group of the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (a), preferably 0.55 to 1.25 mol per one-terminal hydroxyl group, and more preferably 0.6 to 1.0 mol per one-terminal hydroxyl group of the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (a).

For example, when a polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (a) is acrylated using (meth) acrylic acid chloride, it is preferable to use a hydrogen chloride scavenger at the same time since acid chloride ions are generated as hydrogen chloride. The hydrogen chloride trapping agent may be any basic substance. As the inorganic basic substance, carbonates, bicarbonates, and the like of alkali metals can be used. As the organic basic substance, 3-grade amines can be used. Examples of the 3-stage amines include aliphatic amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tri-N-propylamine, triisopropylamine, tributylamine, N-methyl-diethylamine, N-ethyl-dimethylamine, N-ethyl-dipentylamine, N-diisopropylethylamine, N-dimethyl-cyclohexylamine, and N, N-diethyl-cyclohexylamine; aromatic amines such as N, N-dimethylaniline and N, N-diethylaniline; heterocyclic amines such as pyridine, picoline and N, N-dimethylaminopyridine; alicyclic amines such as 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene and 1, 5-diazabicyclo [4.3.0] non-5-ene.

The amount of the hydrogen chloride scavenger used is usually about 0.8 to 10 times by mol, preferably about 0.9 to 8 times by mol, and particularly preferably about 1.0 to 7 times by mol based on the number of moles of the (meth) acrylic acidifier used. When the number of moles of the hydrogen chloride scavenger relative to the (meth) acrylic acidifier is less than 0.8 times, the generated hydrogen chloride cannot be completely scavenged, and the polycarbonate oligomer represented by formula (a) and the terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by formula (1) or (2) as the target material may be decomposed, thereby lowering the purity of the target material. Further, when the number of moles of the hydrogen chloride trapping agent relative to the moles of the (meth) acrylic acidifier exceeds 10 times, the removal of the hydrogen chloride trapping agent becomes complicated and uneconomical, which is not preferable.

In the (meth) acrylation reaction, a solvent used may be any solvent capable of uniformly mixing the raw materials used, and specific examples thereof include halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, chlorobenzene, and the like. The amount of the solvent used is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.5 to 100 times, preferably 1 to 50 times, and particularly preferably 2 to 10 times by weight based on the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (A).

The (meth) acrylation reaction is carried out at a relatively low temperature, generally-50 to 100 ℃, preferably-30 to 80 ℃, and particularly preferably-15 to 60 ℃. When the reaction temperature exceeds 100 ℃, a side reaction may be caused, resulting in a decrease in the yield of the target product. Further, the reaction rate becomes slow at a temperature lower than-50 ℃ and the time required is too long, which is uneconomical.

As the reaction sequence, there are a method of mixing the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (a) and the (meth) acrylating agent in a solvent in advance and then adding the hydrogen chloride scavenger thereto, and a method of mixing the polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (a) and the hydrogen chloride scavenger in a solvent first and then adding the (meth) acrylating agent thereto. In these methods, the hydrogen chloride scavenger and the (meth) acrylating agent added subsequently may be used in a state diluted into a solvent.

In addition, hydroquinone monomethyl ether, phenothiazine, 2, 6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), and the like can be added as a polymerization inhibitor in the reaction.

< post-treatment and purification with respect to (meth) acrylation >

In the (meth) acrylation reaction, an excessive addition of a basic substance as a hydrogen chloride scavenger often occurs, and particularly, an organic basic substance remains in an organic solvent together with the target terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by formula (1) and/or (2), and is likely to cause a problem such as coloration or decomposition, and therefore, it is preferably removed by a washing operation after the reaction. In order to remove the organic alkaline substance by washing, it is preferable to wash with an aqueous solution of an acidic substance. The acidic substance to be used is not particularly limited, but examples of the inorganic acidic substance include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, and examples of the organic acidic substance include carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid; sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid. Among them, organic acidic substances having low acidity are more preferable. It is preferable to remove the hydrogen chloride trapping agent and then wash with water.

The obtained terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (1) and/or (2) is preferably obtained as a precipitate by adding a poor solvent to a dissolved solution. Examples of the poor solvent include an aliphatic alcohol solvent having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol, and a mixture of the aliphatic alcohol solvent and water.

< about terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer >

Specific examples of preferred compounds of the terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (1) and/or (2) of the present invention are shown below.

[ chemical formula 7]

The terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by formula (1) and/or (2) of the present invention has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) in the range of 500 to 10,000, preferably 1,000 to 8,000, and more preferably 2,000 to 6,000. When the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is within this range, good solubility in an organic solvent can be obtained, which is preferable.

When the terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (1) and/or (2) of the present invention is used as a component of a UV-curable hard coating agent, it has excellent compatibility with a polyfunctional (meth) acrylic monomer such as pentaerythritol-based (meth) acrylate as a main component, and therefore, a smooth coating film can be formed by UV curing, and industrially advantageous effects are exhibited.

The terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (1) and/or (2) of the present invention can be used as a material for a modeling material for a 3D printer and a modifier for a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin, in addition to a material for a UV-curable hard coating agent.

Then, the precipitate was separated by filtration and dried to obtain 56.1g of a powdery terminal methacrylate polycarbonate oligomer (1 d).

Process for producing the resulting terminal methacrylate polycarbonate oligomer (1d)The weight average molecular weight was 4,734 (gel permeation chromatography). By passing¹As a result of H-NMR analysis, it was confirmed that the oligomer was a polycarbonate oligomer having both terminal methacrylates represented by the above formula (1 d). Preparation of the resulting terminal methacrylate polycarbonate oligomer (1d)¹The H-NMR spectrum is shown in FIG. 2.

2.0g of the resulting terminal methacrylate polycarbonate oligomer (1d) was mixed with 10.0g of cyclohexanone to obtain a transparent solution. Further, 8.0g of pentaerythritol tetraacrylate as a polyfunctional acrylate and 0.5g of Irgacure (184) were mixed to obtain a transparent solution.

The obtained terminal methacrylate polycarbonate oligomer (1d) showed good solubility in organic solvents such as cyclohexanone and also showed excellent compatibility with pentaerythritol tetraacrylate which is a polyfunctional acrylate.

246.1g (1.08 mol) of 2, 2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane and 237.1g (1.12 mol) of diphenyl carbonate were charged in a four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, a stirrer and a cooler, and after nitrogen substitution was performed in the reaction vessel, 0.9g of a 0.08% cesium carbonate aqueous solution was added at 110 ℃. The temperature was raised to 220 ℃ and the reaction was carried out under normal pressure for 40 minutes to distill off the formed phenol, while the reduced pressure was set to 13.3kPa in 80 minutes, and after the temperature was raised to 240 ℃ and the reduced pressure was set to 0.8kPa in 40 minutes. The temperature was further raised to 285 ℃ and the reaction was carried out at 0.7kPa for 7 hours. 250g of a reaction-completed solution was obtained.

Then, 150.0g of the resultant reaction-completed solution was dissolved in 530.0g of methylene chloride to obtain a solution, and the solution was dropped into 1850g of methanol to precipitate an objective substance. After stirring for 1 hour, the precipitate was separated by filtration and dried to obtain a powdery polycarbonate.

The weight average molecular weight of the polycarbonate thus obtained was 31,240 (gel permeation chromatography), and the terminal hydroxyl group concentration was 0.13 mmol/g.

Then, 13.6g of the obtained polycarbonate was charged into a four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, a stirrer and a cooler, and after nitrogen substitution in the reaction vessel, 0.3g (0.003 mol) of acryloyl chloride and 47.6g of methylene chloride were added under a nitrogen stream, 0.4g (0.004 mol) of triethylamine was added at 15 ℃. After stirring for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was added to 163g of methanol to precipitate an object. Thereafter, the precipitate was separated by filtration and dried, and 14.1g of the obtained wet cake was dissolved in 47.6g of methylene chloride, and the dissolved solution was added to 163g of methanol to precipitate it. Thereafter, the precipitate was separated by filtration and dried to obtain 13g of a white powdery compound.

By the compounds obtained¹As a result of H-NMR analysis, it was confirmed to be a terminal dipropylene polycarbonate.

8.0g of cyclohexanone was used for 0.4g of the terminal dipropylene-based polycarbonate, but it was not dissolved. In addition, a mixture of 0.6g of terminal dipropylene polycarbonate, 2.4g of pentaerythritol tetraacrylate as a polyfunctional acrylate, and 3.0g of methylene chloride in place of cyclohexanone was cloudy, and a transparent solution could not be obtained.

From the above results, it is understood that the terminal (meth) acrylate polycarbonate oligomer represented by the formula (1) and/or (2) of the present invention exhibits good solubility in organic solvents and excellent compatibility with polyfunctional acrylates and the like by having the weight average molecular weight (Mw) within a specific range.
