Description

本発明は、エポキシ樹脂硬化剤、エポキシ樹脂組成物および前記硬化剤の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an epoxy resin curing agent, an epoxy resin composition, and a method for producing the curing agent.

一般に、酸無水物とエポキシ樹脂から得られるエポキシ樹脂硬化物は、安価で、透明性、電気絶縁性、耐薬品性、耐湿性、接着性等に優れており、電気絶縁材料、半導体材料、接着材料、塗料材料等、様々な用途で用いられている。代表的な使用例の一つとして、発光ダイオード(Light−emitting diode:以下LEDと略す)の発光素子を保護するための封止材を挙げることができるが、近年になって短波長の光を発する光源と蛍光体とを組み合わせた白色LEDが普及するにつれ、封止材の劣化が問題視されるようになってきた。   Generally, epoxy resin cured products obtained from acid anhydrides and epoxy resins are inexpensive and have excellent transparency, electrical insulation, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, adhesiveness, etc., electrical insulation materials, semiconductor materials, adhesives It is used in various applications such as materials and paint materials. As a typical use example, a sealing material for protecting a light-emitting element of a light-emitting diode (hereinafter abbreviated as an LED) can be given. As white LEDs that combine a light source that emits light and a phosphor have become widespread, degradation of sealing materials has become a problem.

すなわち、白色LEDの場合、より高エネルギーの光源を用いるため、従来の赤色や緑色のLEDに比べて封止材が劣化して着色しやすく、LEDの寿命が短くなってしまうという問題が発生する。また、発光素子の改良によって小型化及び大電流化が進むにつれ、LEDを長時間点灯させた場合に発生する熱も大きくなり、これによっても同様に封止材の劣化が引き起こされる。   That is, in the case of a white LED, since a higher energy light source is used, there is a problem that the sealing material is deteriorated and easily colored as compared with a conventional red or green LED, and the life of the LED is shortened. . In addition, as the size of the light emitting element is improved and the current is increased, the heat generated when the LED is lit for a long time is increased, which also causes deterioration of the sealing material.

このような光や熱による劣化を抑制することは、エポキシ樹脂のさらなる普及において重要な課題となっている。これを解決する方法として、光や熱により劣化しやすい芳香族エポキシ樹脂に代わって脂環式エポキシ樹脂を用いたエポキシ樹脂組成物の提案がなされている。   Suppressing such deterioration due to light and heat is an important issue in the further spread of epoxy resins. As a method for solving this problem, there has been proposed an epoxy resin composition using an alicyclic epoxy resin in place of an aromatic epoxy resin that is easily deteriorated by light or heat.

また、エポキシ樹脂硬化剤としては、炭素・炭素二重結合を水添した飽和脂環式ジカルボン酸無水物が用いられている。   As the epoxy resin curing agent, a saturated alicyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydride in which a carbon / carbon double bond is hydrogenated is used.

このような飽和脂環式ジカルボン酸無水物としては、3−および/または4−メチルヘキサヒドロフタル酸無水物からなるエポキシ樹脂硬化剤、ノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物またはメチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物からなるエポキシ樹脂硬化剤などが挙げられる。   Such saturated alicyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides include epoxy resin curing agents comprising 3- and / or 4-methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride, norbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride or epoxy comprising methyl norbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride. Resin curing agents and the like can be mentioned.

しかし、3−および/または4−メチルヘキサヒドロフタル酸無水物からなるエポキシ樹脂硬化剤は、室温にて液状であるものの、その硬化物の耐熱性および耐湿性が劣るという問題点を有する。   However, although the epoxy resin curing agent made of 3- and / or 4-methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride is liquid at room temperature, it has a problem that the cured product has poor heat resistance and moisture resistance.

また、ノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物またはメチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物からなるエポキシ樹脂硬化剤は、通常、室温にて固体であり、取扱いが不便であるという問題点を有している。   In addition, an epoxy resin curing agent made of norbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride or methyl norbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride is usually a solid at room temperature and has a problem that it is inconvenient to handle.

そこで、メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物の液状化方法として、メチルノルボルネンジカルボン酸無水物を酸触媒の存在下にて、メチレンノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物へ異性化し、次いで水素化を行う方法が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, as a method for liquefying methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride, a method in which methyl norbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride is isomerized to methylene norbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst and then hydrogenated is proposed. (See Patent Document 1).

しかし、この方法では、低凝固点のメチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物を得るため、異性化時に170℃以上の温度と酸触媒を用いるため、汎用の製造設備では腐食等の問題がある。また、精製を行う場合も同様の問題がある。   However, in this method, a methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride having a low freezing point is obtained, and a temperature of 170 ° C. or higher and an acid catalyst are used during isomerization. In addition, the same problem occurs when purification is performed.

また、ヘキサヒドロフタル酸無水物などを多量混ぜて硬化剤を液状にする方法(特許文献2参照)が提案されているが、上述したような近年の技術の発展に伴い、耐熱性が充分とは言えない。   Further, a method of mixing a large amount of hexahydrophthalic anhydride or the like to make the curing agent liquid (see Patent Document 2) has been proposed, but with the recent development of technology as described above, heat resistance is sufficient. I can't say that.

(Wherein R 1 to R 4 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and two selected from R 1 to R 4 are bonded to form a ring. (It may be formed.)

このような化合物としては、例えばヘキサヒドロ無水フタル酸、メチルヘキサヒドロ無水フタル酸等が挙げられる。これらは二種類以上併用してもよい。   Examples of such compounds include hexahydrophthalic anhydride and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride. Two or more of these may be used in combination.

エポキシ樹脂組成物における硬化剤としての本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化剤の使用量は、エポキシ樹脂中のエポキシ基1.0当量に対してカルボキシル基が1.0〜2.4当量(無水物の場合は、酸無水物基が0.5〜1.2当量)になるよう配合することが好ましく、カルボキシル基1.4〜2.0(無水物基0.7〜1.0当量)になるよう配合することがより好ましい。
カルボキシル基が1.0当量(酸無水物基が0.5当量)未満であると、硬化が不十分となり、硬化物の機械的特性が著しく低下するおそれがある。また、カルボキシル基が2.4当量(酸無水物基が1.2当量)を超える場合にも、同様に硬化物の機械的特性が低下するおそれがある。
The use amount of the epoxy resin curing agent of the present invention as a curing agent in the epoxy resin composition is 1.0 to 2.4 equivalents of carboxyl groups (1.0% equivalents to anhydrides) based on 1.0 equivalents of epoxy groups in the epoxy resin. Is preferably blended so that the acid anhydride group is 0.5 to 1.2 equivalent), so that the carboxyl group is 1.4 to 2.0 (anhydride group 0.7 to 1.0 equivalent). It is more preferable to mix.
If the carboxyl group is less than 1.0 equivalent (acid anhydride group is 0.5 equivalent), curing may be insufficient, and the mechanical properties of the cured product may be significantly reduced. Also, when the carboxyl group exceeds 2.4 equivalents (acid anhydride group is 1.2 equivalents), the mechanical properties of the cured product may be similarly reduced.

本発明に用いるメチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸は、メチルノルボルネンジカルボン酸を水素化して得られる。また、メチルノルボルナン−2,3−ジカルボン酸を無水物化した、メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物を使用することもできる。メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸無水物には、エキソ体とエンド体の立体異性体が存在するが、エキソ体の比率が増加すると液状となりやすいため、取り扱いやすい。   The methyl norbornane dicarboxylic acid used in the present invention is obtained by hydrogenating methyl norbornene dicarboxylic acid. Moreover, methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride obtained by anhydride-forming methyl norbornane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid can also be used. Methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid anhydride has a stereoisomer of an exo form and an endo form, but is easy to handle because it tends to become liquid when the ratio of the exo form increases.

本発明の硬化剤において、メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸(無水物)の含有質量は、多価カルボン酸の含有質量より大きいことが必要であり、エポキシ樹脂硬化剤100質量部に対して、メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸(無水物)は、51〜99質量部、多価カルボン酸(無水物)を1〜49質量部含まれることが好ましく、メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸(無水物)は、55〜90質量部であることがより好ましく、60〜80質量部であることが更に好ましい。また、多価カルボン酸(無水物)は、10〜45質量部であることがより好ましく、20〜40質量部含まれることが更に好ましい。多価カルボン酸が1質量部以上であれば、硬化剤が室温で固形になりにくく、49質量部以下であると硬化物の耐光性が低下するおそれが少なくなるので、実用上好ましい。また、メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸(無水物)の含有質量が多価カルボン酸の含有質量より大きいことにより、相対的にノルボルネン構造が多くなり、曲げ強度、曲げ弾性率が向上する傾向にある。   In the curing agent of the present invention, the content of methyl norbornane dicarboxylic acid (anhydride) needs to be larger than the content of polyvalent carboxylic acid, and methyl norbornane dicarboxylic acid with respect to 100 parts by mass of the epoxy resin curing agent. (Anhydride) is preferably contained in an amount of 51 to 99 parts by mass and polyvalent carboxylic acid (anhydride) in an amount of 1 to 49 parts by mass, and methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid (anhydride) in an amount of 55 to 90 parts by mass. Is more preferable, and it is still more preferable that it is 60-80 mass parts. Moreover, as for polyvalent carboxylic acid (anhydride), it is more preferable that it is 10-45 mass parts, and it is still more preferable that 20-40 mass parts is contained. If the polyvalent carboxylic acid is 1 part by mass or more, the curing agent is less likely to be solid at room temperature, and if it is 49 parts by mass or less, the light resistance of the cured product is reduced, which is practically preferable. Moreover, when the content mass of methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid (anhydride) is larger than the content mass of polyvalent carboxylic acid, the norbornene structure is relatively increased, and the bending strength and the flexural modulus tend to be improved.

本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物に用いるエポキシ樹脂は特に制限は無いが、耐光性及び耐熱性の面から脂環式エポキシ樹脂が好ましい。脂環式エポキシ樹脂は、1分子中に脂環式骨格及び2個以上のエポキシ基を有するものであり、例えば3’,4’−エポキシシクロヘキシルメチル−3,4−エポキシシクロヘキサンカルボキシレート、ビス(3,4−エポキシシクロヘキシルメチル)アジペート、ビニルシクロヘキセンジオキサイド、水素添加ビスフェノールAジグリシジルエーテル等が挙げられる。これらは二種類以上併用してもよい。   Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the epoxy resin used for the epoxy resin composition of this invention, An alicyclic epoxy resin is preferable from the surface of light resistance and heat resistance. The alicyclic epoxy resin has an alicyclic skeleton and two or more epoxy groups in one molecule. For example, 3 ′, 4′-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate, bis ( 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl) adipate, vinylcyclohexene dioxide, hydrogenated bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, and the like. Two or more of these may be used in combination.

また、目的に応じて脂環式エポキシ樹脂以外のエポキシ樹脂も用いることができる。このようなエポキシ樹脂としては、例えばビスフェノールA、ビスフェノールS等のビスフェノール類とエピクロロヒドリンとの反応により得られるビスフェノール型エポキシ樹脂、フェノールノボラックとエピクロロヒドリンとの反応により得られるフェノールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、多価カルボン酸とエピクロロヒドリンとの反応により得られるグリシジルエステル型エポキシ樹脂などが挙げられる。これらは二種類以上併用してもよい。   Further, an epoxy resin other than the alicyclic epoxy resin can also be used depending on the purpose. Examples of such epoxy resins include bisphenol type epoxy resins obtained by reaction of bisphenols such as bisphenol A and bisphenol S with epichlorohydrin, and phenol novolak types obtained by reaction of phenol novolac and epichlorohydrin. Examples thereof include an epoxy resin, a glycidyl ester type epoxy resin obtained by a reaction between a polyvalent carboxylic acid and epichlorohydrin. Two or more of these may be used in combination.

これらの脂環式エポキシ樹脂以外のエポキシ樹脂の使用量は、脂環式エポキシ樹脂100質量部に対して0〜80質量部とするのが好ましく、0〜20質量部とするのがより好ましい。脂環式エポキシ樹脂以外のエポキシ樹脂の使用量が80質量部を超えると硬化物の耐光性及び耐熱性が低下するおそれがある。   The amount of the epoxy resin other than these alicyclic epoxy resins used is preferably 0 to 80 parts by mass, more preferably 0 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the alicyclic epoxy resin. When the usage-amount of epoxy resins other than an alicyclic epoxy resin exceeds 80 mass parts, there exists a possibility that the light resistance and heat resistance of hardened | cured material may fall.

本発明においては、メチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸(無水物)と多価カルボン酸(無水物)を混合することにより目的とするエポキシ樹脂硬化剤を得ることができるが、その製造方法としては、(A)予めメチルノルボルネンジカルボン酸と多価カルボン酸を混合してから、当該混合物の水素化を行うこともできるし、(B)メチルノルボルネンジカルボン酸無水物を水素化し、得られたメチルノルボルナンジカルボン酸に多価カルボン酸を混合することもできる。   In the present invention, a target epoxy resin curing agent can be obtained by mixing methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid (anhydride) and polyvalent carboxylic acid (anhydride). After mixing methylnorbornene dicarboxylic acid and polyvalent carboxylic acid in advance, the mixture can be hydrogenated, or (B) methylnorbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride is hydrogenated and the resulting methylnorbornane dicarboxylic acid Divalent carboxylic acids can also be mixed.

水素化する方法に特に制限はなく、種々の方法を用いることができる。例えば接触水素添加法、ヨウ化水素と赤リンまたはナトリウムとアルコールの組み合わせを用いる方法等が挙げられるが、これらに限定されない。好ましい方法は接触水素添加による水素化であり、これは回分反応、流通連続反応のいずれによっても良い。接触水素化は通常、水素添加触媒の存在下、かつ加熱下で、水素と接触させることによって行う。好ましい触媒としては、ルテニウム、白金、コバルト、パラジウム、ニッケル等が挙げられるが、これらに限定されない。担持触媒を使用しても良く、例えば5質量%の金属パラジウムをアルミナ粉末に担持したものを触媒として使用することができる。触媒の使用量に特に制限はないが、好ましくは原料酸無水物の質量に対し 0.1〜5質量%程度とする。   There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the method to hydrogenate, A various method can be used. Examples thereof include, but are not limited to, a catalytic hydrogenation method, a method using a combination of hydrogen iodide and red phosphorus or sodium and alcohol. A preferred method is hydrogenation by catalytic hydrogenation, which may be either batch reaction or continuous flow reaction. Catalytic hydrogenation is usually carried out by contacting with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst and under heating. Preferred catalysts include, but are not limited to, ruthenium, platinum, cobalt, palladium, nickel and the like. A supported catalyst may be used.
