(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for producing a copolymer having an appropriate balance of adhesive force and cohesive force. More specifically, the present invention achieves the above properties by emulsion polymerizing specific components and proportions of monomer components using hydrogen peroxide as a polymerization initiator and a redox reducing agent in a special method. The present invention relates to a method for producing a copolymer comprising: (Prior art) When producing water-dispersed copolymers using copolymerizable monomers as main raw materials, in order to obtain these by radical polymerization, peroxide alone as a polymerization initiator, peroxide and reduction redox initiation system in combination with
Alternatively, it is common to use an azo compound alone. On the other hand, this is an important performance as a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
In order to obtain a polymer with a well-balanced adhesive force and cohesive force, it is generally necessary to have a wide molecular weight distribution from low molecular weight to high molecular weight (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56
−152802). For this reason, when copolymerizable monomers are polymerized, a molecular weight regulator is often used in combination to lower the molecular weight in order to obtain desired performance. However, when a molecular weight regulator is used, although the molecular weight is lowered, the desired wide molecular weight distribution cannot be obtained, resulting in a polymer having a narrow distribution. Furthermore, as an improvement method, blending of polymers with different molecular weights may be mentioned, but the effect is small. In addition, methods for producing polymers with non-uniform molecular weights have been proposed (e.g., Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 152802/1982), but in order to produce polymers with different average molecular weights through multiple steps, It's complicated. It is also known to emulsion polymerize monomers using a combination of hydrogen peroxide and a redox reducing agent (JP-A-50-96688, JP-A-56-96688;
152802). However, a copolymer with excellent industrial productivity and a good balance between adhesive strength and cohesive strength has not been obtained. (Purpose of the Invention) In view of the current situation, the present inventors have made extensive studies and have developed a method for imparting well-balanced tackiness to water-dispersed polymers without using complicated polymerization methods. He came to invent this. An object of the present invention is to provide a copolymer suitable for adhesives. The copolymer obtained by the present invention is mechanically and chemically stable as an emulsion, and the film after drying exhibits good adhesive strength and cohesive force, and has good water resistance. Therefore, it is useful for various uses such as pressure-sensitive adhesive labels, tapes, and sheets. <Structure of the Invention> The present invention provides (a) at least one monomer selected from the group of ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, and monoesters of ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids. 7.0% by weight, and (b) copolymerizable monoethylenic monomer and/or conjugated diolefin other than the monomers in item (a) above, the resulting copolymer has a glass transition temperature of -20°C.
By selecting the ratio of (b) as shown below, the whole or a part of hydrogen peroxide is charged in advance as a polymerization initiator, and the whole or a part of the redox reducing agent is added to the polymerization reaction system batchwise or sequentially. or continuously added and emulsion polymerized using an emulsifier,
This is a method for producing copolymers. <Ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, monoester thereof> Monomers such as ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid used in the copolymer emulsion of the present invention include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and croton. In addition to unsaturated monocarboxylic acids such as acids, unsaturated dicarboxylic acids such as itaconic acid, maleic acid, and fumaric acid, there are also monoesters of unsaturated dicarboxylic acids such as itaconic acid monomethyl ester and maleic acid monoethyl ester. You may use 1 type or 2 or more types together. Since the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its monoester used in the present invention contributes to the polymerization stability, mechanical stability, and tackiness of the emulsion, the amount used is 0.5 to 7% by weight, preferably 1 to 7% by weight. It is 5% by weight. If it is less than 0.5% by weight, polymerization stability, mechanical stability, and adhesiveness will deteriorate, while if it exceeds 7% by weight, water resistance will decrease when used as an adhesive, and the PH of the copolymer emulsion will decrease.
The viscosity increases when it is heated up, which poses a problem in handling. <Conjugated diolefin> The conjugated diolefin used in the present invention includes:
Examples include butadiene, isoprene, etc., and combinations thereof may also be used. <Copolymerizable monoethylenic monomer> Among the copolymerizable monomers used in the present invention,
Ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid alkyl esters include methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, lauryl (meth)acrylate, etc.
There is no problem with the combination of two or more types. In this specification, "(meth)acrylate" means both acrylate and methacrylate. The same applies to "(meth)acrylamide" below. Examples of copolymerizable vinyl monomers include styrene, α-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene,
Examples include aromatic vinyl monomers such as halogenated styrene, vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate, and acrylonitrile. Furthermore, the adhesive strength when used as a pressure sensitive adhesive,
Multi-vinyl group-containing monomers such as (meth)acrylamide, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, N-methylol (meth)acrylamide, and 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate are used as functional group monomers to increase the cohesive force. as, divinylbenzene, diallyl phthalate, allyl(meth)
It is also possible to use acrylate, etc. One or more of the above-mentioned monomers other than the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer may be used. Preferred monomer combinations include: A combination of monomers containing an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and a conjugated diolefin as essential components A monomer containing an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid alkyl ester as essential components Combination of monomers There is a combination of monomers whose essential components are ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, conjugated diolefin, and ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid alkyl ester. The adhesive obtained by the combination of monomers is
Excellent adhesive strength at low temperatures. The adhesive obtained by combining the above monomers has excellent weather resistance and high adhesive strength, and is a particularly preferred example of the present invention. Since the copolymer emulsion of the present invention is used for adhesive purposes, it is necessary to balance adhesive strength, initial tack, and cohesive strength. Therefore, the glass transition temperature Tg of the copolymer is −20°C or lower, preferably −
The temperature is preferably 60°C to -40°C, and specifically, the proportion of copolymerizable monomers may be appropriately selected. When Tg exceeds -20℃, tack drops significantly. Further, below -60°C, the cohesive force is insufficient. <Reducing agent> The amount of hydrogen peroxide used (relative to all monomers) is
It is 0.01% by weight or more, preferably 0.1% by weight or more. Reducing agents used in conjunction with this include ferrous sulfate, glucose, sodium bisulfite, formaldehyde, sodium sulfoxylate,
Examples include L-ascorbic acid, with ferrous sulfate being particularly preferred. The amount used is 0.01~1.0% by weight, preferably 0.03~
The content is 0.5% by weight, and two or more types may be used together. <Emulsifier> Examples of the emulsifier for polymerization used in the present invention include anionic emulsifiers such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, disodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxy Common emulsifiers include nonionic emulsifiers such as ethylene alkyl phenyl ether. The amount of emulsifier used is usually 3 parts by weight or less, preferably 2 parts by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of monomer. <Molecular weight regulator> In the present invention, the molecular weight can be controlled by the amount of hydrogen peroxide and the amount of reducing agent, but it is also possible to use a common molecular weight regulator in combination. Examples of molecular weight regulators include n-dodecylmercaptan, t-dodecylmercaptan, and carbon tetrachloride. <Polymerization method> The present invention is characterized in that hydrogen peroxide and a redox reducing agent are used as a polymerization initiator, and hydrogen peroxide and a redox reducing agent are used in a specific method. Good stability over time,
Moreover, an excellent copolymer having an appropriate balance of adhesive strength and cohesive strength can be obtained. The method for using hydrogen peroxide is to charge all or part of the hydrogen peroxide into the reactor in advance, and if one part is charged, the remaining hydrogen peroxide is used in the polymerization reaction system batchwise, sequentially, or continuously. be done. Hydrogen peroxide is preferably charged in an amount of 50% by weight or more, more preferably 70% by weight or more at the start of polymerization. The use of hydrogen peroxide is appropriately determined depending on the target physical properties and for improving reactivity. On the other hand, the method of using the redox reducing agent is important. That is, the redox reducing agent is added in its entirety or in part to the reaction system during the polymerization reaction. A portion of reducing agent here preferably represents at least 70%, more preferably 80% by weight of the total reducing agent. When adding the reducing agent in batches, the reducing agent is preferably added in three or more portions. Others are added sequentially or continuously. A preferred method of addition is a sequential or continuous addition method. The reducing agent may be added by the above-mentioned method after being dissolved in water, or may be added together with the emulsified monomer by the above-mentioned method. Polymerization temperature is usually 60℃
The temperature is preferably 70°C or higher. By using the reducing agent in this manner, it is possible to produce a copolymer with good stability during polymerization and high adhesive strength. The monomer/water ratio during polymerization is 150 parts by weight or less for 100 parts by weight of monomer, taking into consideration the balance between the heat load during drying and the increase in viscosity due to high solidification.
Preferably it is 100 parts by weight or less. When using the copolymer of the present invention as an adhesive, the copolymer latex may be adjusted to pH 7 to 8, and colorants, fillers, anti-aging agents, antifoaming agents, etc. may be added as necessary. can. (Example) Examples and comparative examples are given below to provide a more detailed explanation of the present invention. It should be understood that the invention is not limited only to the following examples. Parts and percentages are by weight. [Example 1] 40 parts of water, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate
Charge 0.1 part and 0.7 part of hydrogen peroxide into a 100 reactor.
After raising the internal temperature to 80℃, add 60 parts of water, 90 parts of butyl acrylate, 8 parts of styrene, 2 parts of acrylic acid, 0.05 parts of ferrous sulfate, 0.9 parts of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether. (HLB17.2) was continuously added over 5 hours to advance the reaction, and after the addition was completed, the temperature was raised to 85°C and the reaction was further continued for 7 hours. As a result, a highly stable emulsion with a polymerization rate of 99% or more of the charged monomers was obtained. When this was adjusted to pH 8 with 25% ammonia water, the viscosity was 400 cps. The Tg of this emulsion polymer was -45°C (as measured by differential scanning calorimetry). This emulsion was evenly applied to a polyester film with a thickness of 25 μm so that the film thickness after drying was 20 to 25 μm.
After drying in a hot air dryer for 2 minutes, the tape was cut to obtain an adhesive tape. [Example 2] The same operations as in Example 1 were carried out except that the monomers were 90 parts of butyl acrylate, 5 parts of styrene, and 5 parts of methacrylic acid. The monomer polymerization rate of the emulsion obtained here was 99% or more, and the viscosity after adjusting the pH to 8 with aqueous ammonia was 800 cps. Tg was -43°C. [Example 3] The same operations as in Example 1 were carried out except that hydrogen peroxide was changed to 1.2 parts and ferrous sulfate was replaced with 0.15 parts of L-ascorbic acid. The monomer polymerization rate of the emulsion obtained here was 99% or more, and the viscosity after adjusting the pH to 8 with aqueous ammonia was 500 cps. Tg was -46°C. [Example 4] In Example 1, butyl acrylate was replaced with 80 parts of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 4.5 parts of styrene,
The same operation was carried out except for using 13 parts of vinyl acetate, 2 parts of acrylic acid, 0.5 part of N-methylolacrylamide, and 0.03 part of n-dodecylmercaptan. The monomer polymerization rate of the emulsion obtained here was 99% or more. Tg was -55°C. The viscosity after adjusting to PH8 is
It was 620cps. [Example 5] 80 parts of water, 0.5 part of disodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate, and 0.8 part of hydrogen peroxide.
After charging 100 parts into a reactor and bringing the internal temperature to 70°C, add 70 parts of butadiene, 27 parts of styrene, 3 parts of acrylic acid, n
−1.8 parts of dodecyl mercaptan, 0.2 parts of ferrous sulfate
1 part of disodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate and 70 parts of water were continuously added over 15 hours. The reaction was further continued at 75° C. for 5 hours to obtain a highly stable emulsion with a polymerization rate of 98% or more of the charged monomers. Residual monomers were removed from this with steam under reduced pressure, and after concentration, the pH was adjusted to 8 with 25% aqueous ammonia to obtain an emulsion with a viscosity of 300 cps. Tg was -49°C. The following operations are the same as in Example 1. [Example 6] The same operation as in Example 1 was performed except that 1.0 part of hydrogen peroxide and 0.1 part of ferrous sulfate were used.
The Tg of the obtained copolymer was -47°C. [Example 7] The addition of ferrous sulfate in Example 1 was
The same operation as in Example 1 was carried out, except that 0.01 part of ferrous sulfate was charged into the reactor in advance, the internal temperature was further raised, and 0.04 part of ferrous sulfate was added continuously in the same way as water, monomer, and emulsifier. Summer. Tg was -45.5°C.
The viscosity at pH 8 was 470 cps. [Comparative Example 1] The same operations as in Example 1 were performed except that the initiator was replaced with 0.7 parts of sodium persulfate. The monomer polymerization rate of the emulsion obtained here was 99% or more, the viscosity after adjusting the pH to 8 with aqueous ammonia was 120 cps, and the Tg was -44°C. [Comparative Example 2] The same operations as in Example 1 were carried out except that 0.3 parts of acrylic acid was used, but the polymerization stability and the mechanical stability of the obtained emulsion were extremely poor. The Tg was -46°C and the viscosity was 160 cps. [Comparative Example 3] Polymerization was carried out in Example 1 except that hydrogen peroxide was changed to 2.0 parts and single iron sulfate was not used. However, the polymerization rate of the monomer was less than 95%, and when 0.1 part of hydrogen peroxide and 0.01 part of ferrous sulfate were added before the polymerization was completed, the polymerization rate reached 99%.
The above monomer polymerization rate was obtained. Tg is -46℃, PH8
The viscosity was 460 cps. [Comparative Example 4] The same operations as in Example 1 were carried out except that the entire amount of hydrogen peroxide and the entire amount of ferrous sulfate were charged into the 100 reactor in advance. The resulting emulsion had poor stability and agglomerates (gels) were generated during polymerization. The Tg of this emulsion polymer was -44°C. The viscosity at PH8 is
It was 240cps. [Comparative Example 5] In Example 1, butyl acrylate was
The same operation was carried out except that the amount of styrene was changed to 33 parts. The Tg of the obtained emulsion polymer was -15°C. The viscosity at PH8 was 360 cps.
