Heretofore, thermosetting adhesives are known as an adhesive for adhering electronic parts, mechanical parts and so on. However, the thermosetting adhesive is long in the curing time, so that there is caused a problem of lowering the productivity when the parts are adhered with the thermosetting adhesive. On the contrary, there are developed photo- or electron beam-curing adhesives for the adhesion of the above parts. Inn the photo- or electron beam-curing adhesive, the adhesion is completed in a very short time by irradiation of light or electron beams, so that it is possible to improve the productivity.

In the current assembling of electronic parts, it is required to simultaneously adhere a metal such as gold, nickel or the like, a metal oxide such as IZO, ITO or the like, and a resin such as PET, polyimide or the like as an adherend, so that it is demanded to use adhesives being excellent in not only the adhesiveness to the specified adherend but also the adhesiveness to various adherends.
In this connection, the inventors have made examinations and confirmed that the conventional photo- or electron beam-curing adhesives including the liquid curing resin composition disclosed in JP-A-2004-115757 are poor in the adhesiveness to the metal oxide such as IZO or the like and/or the metal such as gold or the like and hence sufficient bond strength (peeling strength) is not obtained.
It is, therefore, the first object of the invention to solve the problems of the conventional techniques and to provide a photo-curing or electron beam-curing adherent resin composition being excellent in the adhesiveness to various adherends such as metal oxides, metals, resins and so on.

As the polyol are mentioned a polyether polyol, a polycarbonate diol, a bisphenol-A series polyol and so on. The polycarbonate diol and bisphenol-A series polyol are particularly preferable from a viewpoint of improving the glass transition temperature of the adherent resin composition after the curing.

The adherent resin is excellent in the adhesiveness to the metal oxide such as IZO or the like and the metal such as gold or the like and high in the glass transition temperature, so that it is useful as a low temperature-curing adhesive material for various electron members such as constructional parts of electron display and the like. Moreover, if the glass transition temperature (Tg) is lower than 80° C., there is a fear of softening the cured resin considering the use environment of electron materials. Also, when the peeling strength to gold and IZO is less than 300 N/m, the adhesion force to these adherends is insufficient.
Further, when the polyol used in the formation of the urethane prepolymer portion of the urethane (metha)acrylate oligomer (A) is bisphenol-A series polyol, the resulting adherent resin of the invention has a peeling strength to polyimide of not less than 1000 N/m and a peeling strength to PET (polyethylene terephthalate) of not less than 1500 N/m in addition to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of not lower than 80° C. and the peeling strength to gold and IZO of not less than 300 N/m.

The resulting urethane acrylate oligomer (A-1) has a number average molecular weight of 17600 as measured by GPC.
Next, 60.0 parts by mass of the urethane acrylate oligomer (A-1) is mixed with 40.0 parts by mass of acryloyl morpholine (made by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Co., Ltd. “NK ESTER A-MO”) and 1.0 part by mass of a photopolymerization initiator “IRGAQUAR 184D” made by Chiba Specialty Chemicals Co., Ltd. while stirring and thereafter deaerated under vacuum to prepare a UV-curing adherent resin composition.
Then, a sample for the measurement of peeling strength to the following five adherends is prepared by using the adherent resin composition:
(1) gold-treated film
(2) IZO-treated PET film
(3) polyimide film
(4) non-treated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film
(5) easy adhesive-treated PET film
<Preparation of Sample for Measurement of Peeling Strength>
An adherend of about 18×15 cm is placed on a glass plate of about 40×40 cm and an aluminum foil of 50 μm in thickness having a central bored portion of 10×8 cm is placed thereon as a spacer. A releasing PET film is partly sandwiched to a chuck of a peel testing machine so as not to adhere a gripping margin thereof. After a small amount of the UV-curing adherent resin composition is added dropwise thereto, an easy adhesive-treated PET film of about 18×15 cm is placed. The UV-curing adherent resin composition is spread over a whole of the film face with a roller from above laminated films. The film laminate is placed on a base of about 15×15×1.5 cm so as to face the easy adhesive-treated PET film upward, and further a quartz glass of about 15×15×0.5 cm is placed on the film. The UV curing is carried out with a conveyor type UV irradiating machine. In the conveyor type irradiating machine, a conveyor speed and a sample position (distance) are adjusted so as to provide an integrating light quantity of 3000 mJ. The thus cured film is cut at a width of 25 mm so as to render the gripping margin into an end portion to thereby prepare a sample for the measurement of peeling strength.
With respect to the thus prepared sample is measured a peeling strength at a speed of 50 mm/min according to JIS K6854, wherein (1) the peeling strength is 1494 N/m when the adherend is a gold-treated film, (2) the peeling strength is 985 N/m when the adherend is an IZO-treated PET film, (3) the peeling strength is 5800 N/m when the adherend is a polyimide film, (4) the peeling strength is 1329 N/m when the adherend is a non-treated PET film, and (5) the peeling strength is 10700 N/m when the adherend is an easy adhesive-treated PET film, and as a result it is understood that the sample has a higher peeling strength to any adherends.

The number average molecular weight of the thus obtained urethane acrylate oligomer (A-12) is 5800 as measured through GPC.
Then, 100.0 parts by mass of the urethane acrylate oligomer (A-9) (containing 50 mass % of acryloyl morpholine) is mixed with 1.0 part by mass of a photopolymerization initiator “IRGAQUAR 184D” made by Chiba Specialty Chemicals Co., Ltd. while stirring and thereafter deaerated under vacuum to prepare a UV-curing adherent resin composition.
Thereafter, a sample for the measurement of peeling strength is prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 using the above adherent resin composition to measure a peeling strength, and as a result, (1) the peeling strength is 293 N/m when the adherend is a gold-treated PET film, (2) the peeling strength is 127 N/m when the adherend is an IZO-treated PET film, (3) the peeling strength is 794 N/m when the adherend is polyimide, and (4) the peeling strength is 621 N/m when the adherend is non-treated PET film, and as a result it is understood that the sample has a low peeling strength to any adherends.
Also, a sample for the measurement of glass transition temperature is prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 using the above adherent resin composition and the glass transition temperature is measured to be 112° C., from which it is understood to have a sufficient glass transition temperature as an adhesive material for electronic parts.
Moreover, the repetitive number of urethane prepolymer portion (n) in the urethane acrylate oligomer (A-12) used in the UV curing adherent resin composition is calculated using the number average molecular weight of urethane acrylate oligomer of 5800, the number average molecular weight of bisphenol-A series polyol of 690, the molecular weight of polyisocyanate (IPDI) of 222.28 and the molecular weight of acrylate chain (2-HEA) of 116.11, and as a result, it is (5800−2×116.11−222.28)/(690+222.28)=5.9.
