Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electronic light control materials, in particular to a light valve with improved pressure resistance and a method for improving the pressure resistance of the light valve.
Background
The light valve is an electronic light control device, mainly a light control layer is arranged between two transparent conductive films, and after an electric field is switched on, the arrangement or the state of materials in the light control layer is changed, so that the light transmission characteristic of the device is changed, such as the conversion from low light transmittance to high light transmittance or the conversion from high light transmittance to low light transmittance. By the action of the electric field, the fast switching between the on-state and the off-state can be realized. Light valves can be classified into suspended particle light valves, polymer dispersed liquid crystal light valves, electrochemical reaction light valves, and the like according to different light control mechanisms of the light control layer.
Depending on the substrate of the light valve, the light valve may have a plastic sheet, such as PET, as the substrate, commonly referred to as a light modulating film; glass may also be used as a substrate, and is generally referred to as a light control glass. The assembly formed by the laminated light control film is generally referred to as a light control glass assembly.
In practical applications, the light adjusting film is sandwiched between two pieces of glass, and the light adjusting film is laminated under a certain temperature and pressure to manufacture a light adjusting glass assembly. However, the color-changing performance of the light modulation film is usually damaged to a greater extent due to higher temperature and pressure in the process of laminating, and the reason for this is mainly that the light modulation film has poor pressure resistance of the light control layer at a high temperature, which greatly affects the preparation of the light modulation glass assembly.

Detailed Description
Term(s) for
In the present invention, the following terms are used with the meanings defined below.
Light valve:
the light valve is an electronic light control device, mainly a light control layer is arranged between two transparent conductive films, and after an electric field is switched on, the arrangement or the state of materials in the light control layer is changed, so that the light transmission characteristics of the device are changed, such as the conversion from low light transmittance to high light transmittance or the conversion from high light transmittance to low light transmittance.
And (3) crosslinking:
cross-linking refers to the polymerization of reactive groups on the side chains of the unit monomers in the polymer matrix precursor, said side chains referring to the structures covalently linked to silicon atoms other than the silicon hydroxyl groups and the groups that can form silicon hydroxyl groups. Crosslinking is sometimes referred to herein as crosslinking cure, i.e., occurs under thermocatalytic or radiation catalyzed conditions, such as the addition of a photoinitiator to a polymer matrix precursor to cause polymerization by radiation. Silicon-containing non-crosslinking monomer:
monomer units (a) forming a polymer matrix precursor, which have side chains not participating in the crosslinking reaction, said side chains being structures covalently linked to silicon atoms other than silicon hydroxyl groups and groups capable of forming silicon hydroxyl groups. Silicon-containing crosslinkable monomer:
monomer units (b) forming a polymer matrix precursor having reactive groups on side chains which are structures covalently bonded to silicon atoms other than silicon hydroxyl groups and groups capable of forming silicon hydroxyl groups, to participate in a crosslinking reaction.
Silicon-containing monomers with high-occupancy side chains:
and (c) a monomer unit (c) forming a polymer matrix precursor, which does not contain a group capable of participating in polymerization in a side chain, and which has a large steric hindrance in the side chain, said side chain being a structure covalently bonded to a silicon atom other than a silicon hydroxyl group and a group capable of forming a silicon hydroxyl group.
Silicone oil:
a linear polysiloxane which remains in a liquid state at room temperature.
Acrylate-based polymerizable group:
refers to a group containing a methacryloxy group or an acryloxy group.
Alkyl groups:
refers to a branched or straight chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group having the specified number of carbon atoms. For example, "C1-C3 alkyl" represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (e.g., n-propyl and isopropyl), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl), and pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl).
The present invention provides a light valve with improved pressure resistance, wherein the polymer matrix precursor is composed of at least one siloxane copolymer, both terms of siloxane copolymer and polymer matrix precursor being equivalent when the polymer matrix precursor is composed of only one siloxane copolymer.
The invention provides a light valve with improved compressive property, which can effectively solve the problem of poor compressive property of a light control layer at a high temperature by adopting a polymer matrix precursor obtained by copolymerizing monomers of specific units and then crosslinking the polymer matrix precursor to form a polymer matrix. In particular, the present invention can effectively achieve an improvement in the compressive resistance relative to the absence of unit (c) by employing unit (c) of the following structural formula (a), i.e., a silicon-containing monomer having a high-occupancy side chain:
R-Xm-(CH2)n-SiR1 xR2 yformula (A)
See fig. 1. The polymer matrix precursor contains functional groups that can be cross-linked and cured to form polymer matrix 21 via a cross-linking reaction. The suspension medium is dispersed in the polymer matrix in the form of droplets, the droplets formed being referred to as suspension medium droplets 22.
