Description: ADHESIVE COMPOSITION FOR OPTICAL DISKS Field of the Invention The present invention relates to photocurable compositions. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of the compositions as adhesives for optical disks. Background Recent progress in information technology represented by computer technology, computer software technology, and communication technology has enabled much more information to be transmitted at high speed. Accompanied by this, recording media capable of recording more information at high density have been demanded and developed. As such high-density recording media, a DVD (digital videodisc or digital versatile disk) has been developed as a general-purpose recording medium of the next generation. A DVD is generally manufactured by attaching two disks together, thereby requiring an adhesive to cause the two disks to adhere. Examples of conventional adhesives include hot- melt adhesives, heat-curable adhesives, anaerobic curable adhesives. However, these conventional adhesives have a variety of disadvantages. For instance, hot- melt adhesives have poor heat stability and weatherability and therefore soften at high temperature, causing the disks to be separated or deformed due to decreased adhesion. Moreover, it is difficult to apply a hot-melt adhesive to a two- layer DVD having a semi-transmission film as a recording film because of the poor transparency of the hot-melt adhesive. A problem with a heat-curable adhesive is that substrates forming the disks are deformed by heat during curing. In the alternatives, if lower temperatures are used, curing the adhesive requires a long period of time. An anaerobic curable adhesive exhibits inferior productivity because a long period pf time is required for curing the adhesive. Photocurable adhesives have been proposed to solve these problems. For example, Japanese Patent Applications Laid-open No. 142545/1986 and No. 89462/1994 disclose UV-curable resin adhesives containing a urethane acrylate as an essential component. However, these UV-curable resin adhesives are unsatisfactory in view of curability at the edge of the disks, adhesion to gold for forming a half- transmission film, moisture-heat resistance, and the like. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a UV-curableresin composition for optical disks having improved curability at the edge of the disks. In addition, it is an objective to provide a resin composition having improved adhesion to gold or the like. Furthermore, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a composition having improved moisture-heat resistance in comparison with conventional adhesives. Summary of the Invention As a result of extensive studies, the present inventors have found that above objectives can be achieved by combining a radiation-curable oligomer with the following component (B) and/or (C) and (D). Accordingly, the present invention provides a composition comprising (A) a radiation-curable oligomer, preferably a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer produced by reacting a polyol compound, a polyisocyanate compound, and a (meth)acrylate compound containing a hydroxyl group; and (B) a dialkylaminobenzoate. In addition, the present invention provides a composition comprising (A) a radiation-curable oligomer, preferably a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer produced by reacting a polyol compound, a polyisocyanate compound, and a (meth)acrylate compound containing a hydroxyl group; (C) a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate; and (D) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 2,2-dimethoxy- 1 ,2-diphenylethan-1-one, 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-one, and 1- hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone. Preferably the compositions of the present invention comprise all four components (A)-(D). The present invention further provides the use of the compositions as adhesives for optical discs, for instance digital versatile discs. AIso, the present invention provides optical discs, for instance digital versatile discs, comprising an adhesive obtainable by curing the present compositions.

The amount of these additives to be added may be optionally determined insofar as the object of the composition of the present invention is not adversely affected. The viscosity of the composition of the present invention, is preferably 10-10,000 mPa-s, still more preferably 50-5,000 mPa-s, and particularly preferably 150-2,000 mPa-s. It is preferable to add each component so that the glass transition temperature of the resulting cured product falls in the range from -30 to 200°C, and preferably from 0 to 120°C. If the glass transition temperature is too low, the cured product may soften in summer or in a closed sunny room at high temperature, whereby a substrate may be dislodged or may move due to decreased adhesion. If the glass transition temperature is too high, adhesion may be insufficient or the substrate may break when dropped or bent. The term "glass transition temperature" used herein means a temperature indicating a maximum value of the loss tangent (tanδ) measured using a dynamic viscoelasticity measurement device at an oscillation frequency of 10. The compositions of the present invention are preferably cured by irradiating the composition with ultraviolet rays, visible rays, electron beams, or the like. For example, the composition of the present invention, applied between substrates so that the thickness of the adhesive layer is 10-100 μm, is easily cured by irradiating the composition using a metal halide lamp at a dose of 50- 2000 mJ/cm 2 , thereby causing the substrates to adhere. The photocured product of the composition of the present invention preferably has excellent transparency. For example, a 60 μm thick layer of cured composition preferably has a light transmittance of 90% or more at 600- 700 nm. If the light transmittance is less than 90%, the appearance of an optical disk may be impaired. Moreover, light to read the information stored in the disk is reduced by the adhesive layer of the cured product, thereby hindering read operations. Therefore, it is preferable to prepare the composition of the present invention by combining each component so that the light transmittance of the cured product is in the above range. It is preferable to add each component so that the photocured product of the composition of the present invention has a refractive index of 1.51- 1.70 at 25°C. If the refractive index of the photocured product is out of this range, problems may occur when reading the information stored in the disk. The composition of the present invention exhibits good adhesion to a wide variety of materials, including plastics such as polycarbonate (PC) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), metals (e.g. gold, silver, and aluminum), and inorganic compounds (e.g. glass). Therefore, the composition is suitable as an adhesive for optical disks. Examples The present invention will be described by examples, which should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Edge curability, moisture-heat resistance, and adhesion to substrates of the compositions thus prepared (compositions of Examples 1-9) were measured and evaluated as described below. (1) Edge curability The composition was applied between a PC substrate and a gold substrate prepared by sputtering a PC substrate so that the thickness of the composition film was 50 μm. The composition was irradiated from either the PC substrate side or the gold substrate side using a conveyer-type metal halide lamp at a dose of 500 mJ/cm 2 , thereby causing the substrates to adhere. In the case where tackiness (viscosity) was noted when a finger was placed at the edge of the disk thus obtained, edge curability of the composition was judged as "Bad". In the case where there was no tackiness, edge curability of the composition was judged as "Good". Edge curability of the composition which had no tackiness after irradiation at a dose of 250 mJ/cm 2 was judged as "Excellent". (2) Moisture-heat resistance Substrates were caused to adhere by irradiating the composition at a dose of 500 mJ/cm 2 in the same manner as in the above (1). In the case where abnormalities such as foam or corrosion were observed in the adhesive layer or the interface between the adhesive and the substrates after allowing to stand in a thermo-hygrostat at a temperature of 90°C and a relative humidity of 98%RH, moisture-heat resistance of the composition was judged as "Bad". In the case where no abnormalities were observed, moisture-heat resistance of the composition was judged as "Good". (3) Adhesion to substrates The composition was applied to an aluminum film or gold film evaporated onto a PC substrate using a sputtering method. The composition was irradiated at a dose of 100 mJ/cm 2 in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a cured film of the composition with a thickness of 50 μm. The cured film was then subjected to a cross-cut cellophane tape peeling test. In the case where the aluminum film or gold film was not removed from the PC substrate, adhesion of the composition was judged as "Good". When one or more squares were removed, adhesion of the composition was judged as "Bad". Table 1 shows the evaluation results in the case of attaching a PC substrate and an aluminum substrate prepared by sputtering a PC substrate, and the case of attaching a PC substrate and a gold substrate prepared by sputtering a PC substrate. The composition of Example 7, which did not contain the component (B), exhibited relatively poor edge curability but good moisture- heat resistance. The compositions of Examples 8 and 9, which did not contain the component (C) and (D) in combination, exhibited relatively poor moisture-heat resistance but good edge curability. The composition of Example 6, which did not contain the component (E), exhibited relatively poor adhesion to gold. Table 1 1 I Γ I
