Title: Moisture and Radiation Curable Adhesive Composition and the Use Thereof

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a moisture and radiation curable adhesive composition and the use thereof, in particular, to a moisture and radiation curable adhesive composition used as a liquid optical clear adhesive (LOCA) for handheld device and display (HHDD). 
     BACKGROUND 
     Optically clear adhesives were used in the display industry to fill in the gaps between different layers of the displays in order to improve the image quality and the durability of the displays. The current problems when using conventional optically clear adhesives include the Mura effect, delamination, and durability. “Mura” is a Japanese term for “unevenness”, and the effect is used to describe a low-contrast, irregular pattern or region that causes uneven screen uniformity on display panels under certain conditions. The Mura effect generally results from the build-up of the stress in different layers due to the mismatch of different materials including the glass cover, adhesive, LCD, etc., especially after the long term thermal circles. The stress build-up will cause the failure of the adhesion and in turn the delamination will happen, which will deteriorate the image quality provided by the displays. In order to improve the optical properties, it is necessary to relieve the stress in the different substrates and to reduce the build-up of the stress during the thermal cycles. Meanwhile, other useful properties of the adhesive such as adhesion and transparency should be maintained. 
     WO 2013173976 A1 discloses a liquid photo-curable adhesive composition which may significantly reduce or eliminate Mura effect even when stress was imposed to the display panel, comprising: (a) 5 to 30 wt % of urethane acrylate, (b) 30 to 80 wt % of plasticizer, (c) 0.02 to 5 wt % of photo initiator, and (d) 0 to 30 wt % of acrylate monomers and/or oligomer. 
     US 20130187144 A1 discloses a curable composition comprising at least one radiation-curable epoxy resin, at least one anti-oxidant, and at least one photo initiator salt. It is reported that the product of such composition exhibit low bulk moisture permeability, and thus prevent a decrease of display quality due to Mura effect. 
     In addition, US 20130323521 A1 discloses an adhesive composition comprising: an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester, wherein the alkyl group has 4 to 18 carbon atoms; a hydrophilic copolymerizable monomer; and a free-radical generating initiator; wherein the adhesive composition maintains a tan delta value of between about 0.5 and about 1.0 at a temperature of between about 25° C. and about 100° C. It is reported that the product of such composition can improve stress relieving as a result of the display module assembly process which is particularly beneficial to reduce Mura effect. 
     While attempt have been made to provide adhesives to decrease or eliminate Mura effect, the above products are acrylate ester-based or epoxy-based which have the drawbacks such as lower stability under high temperature, lower stability under high humidity, yellowing, etc. 
     As such, there remains a need to develop an improved adhesive composition which possesses excellent properties including hardness, shrinkage, stress absorbing, thermal stability, adhesion and transmittance.

     The amount of the organolithium catalyst used in the catalyst system depends on the reactivity of the silanol group-containing reactant and the reactivity of the alkoxysilane containing the polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated group. The amount chosen may be readily determined by those persons skilled in the art. 
     After the reaction, the organolithium catalyst can be reacted with carbon dioxide, precipitated as lithium carbonate and removed from the reaction mixture by liquid-solid separation means such as centrifuging, filtration and the like. Low molecular weight hydroxylamine and other low boiling point materials can be separated by heating the reaction mixture under reduced pressure. 
     The process can be carried out at temperatures of from about room temperature (about 25° C.) to about 150° C. The temperature at which the process is conducted depends on the particular reactants chosen, the identity and amount of the constituents of the catalyst system and the length of time the reaction can proceed.

The contents are mixed at 120 rpm under vacuum for 3 hours, then cooled under vacuum to room temperature. The component (c), component (d) and optionally components (e) and (f) are then added to the mixer under vacuum. The vacuum is broken with nitrogen after 1 hour of mixing for all components. 
     Process of Bonding Substrates 
     Another aspect of the present invention provides a process of bonding substrates, comprising,
     (i) applying the moisture and radiation adhesive composition according to the present invention onto the substrate to be bonded;   (ii) laminating or stacking the substrate to be bonded to form an assembly;   (iii) photo irradiating the assembly; and   (iv) placing the assembly under ambient conditions.   

     Specifically, the adhesive composition according to the present invention may be coated under pressure onto the surface of the substrate following the predetermined route by means of the needle cylinder of an automatic dispensing system. Subsequently, another substrate is laminated onto the adhesive, and the height difference between the two substrates is controlled by a dispenser, e.g., Dispenser KAR03, manufactured by IINUMA-GAUGE MFG LTD. After the adhesive is self-leveled on the whole bonding area, photo irradiation is conducted from top to bottom for curing. Light source (such as ultraviolet light and visible light) and high energy ray (such as electronic beam, α-ray, γ-ray and X-ray) can be used herein for photo irradiation, with preference given to ultraviolet light in the wavelength range of about 200 nm to about 400 nm. The energy dose is 3000 mJ/cm 2  or more, the power intensity is about 50 to about 100 mW/cm 2 . The UV lamp used may be such as Loctite UVALOC 1000, and the irradiation time may generally be about 5 s to about 120 s. Since the marginal areas are within the nontransparent part, it cannot be cured by UV irradiation. The bonded parts can be completely cured by storing the parts at room temperature for about 24 hours, according to the moisture-curable character of the present adhesive composition, without any need for additional equipment and processing. 
     The Cured Adhesive Product

As such, the cured adhesive product is suitable to be used in display panels, touch panels and optical devices, and can significantly decrease the shrinkage and absorb the stress built up in the substrate, which is known as the cause of the Mura effect. 
     In one embodiment, the cured reaction product of the composition has a Shore 00 hardness of from 1 to 30, preferably from 5 to 25, after 7 days from curing, at 25° C., as measured according to ASTM D2240.

     The moisture and radiation curable adhesive composition of the present invention may be used as a liquid optical clear adhesive (LOCA) for handheld device and display (HHDD), especially for bonding or laminating various elements in the manufacture of display panels, touch panels and optical devices. 
     For example, the moisture and radiation curable adhesive composition of the present invention can be used in bonding or laminating a transparent substrate with another transparent substrate, or bonding or laminating a transparent substrate with a non-transparent substrate. The transparent substrate comprises glass and transparent plastic etc., and the non-transparent substrate comprises metal, non-transparent plastic, ceramic, stone, leather and wood etc. Plastic may be for example poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) or polyester (PET) etc.

     For the tests, all components (with a total amount about 50 grams) were added to a plastic jar which was then spanned 3 times in a speed mixer at 3000 rpm for 30 seconds each time. 32 grams of the material was poured into 6 inches×6 inches metal frame with a polyethylene film and a piece of glass on each side, followed by a 60 second UV exposure from both sides with UVA intensity at 75 mW/cm 2 . The polyethylene films were peeled off and the cured products to be tested were then kept in a 25° C., 50% relative humidity chamber for 7 days. 
     The hardness according to ASTM D2240 and the elongation according to ASTM D412 of the cured products of the compositions in Table 1 are listed in Table 2.

     As shown in Table 1, Examples A to F are inventive examples of adhesive compositions having at least one mono(meth)acryloxy terminated polyorganosiloxane and at least one di(meth)acryloxy terminated polyorganosiloxane. Example G only comprises one di(meth)acryloxy terminated polyorganosiloxane, and listed as a comparative example which is a typical example of traditional adhesive formulations. 
     As demonstrated in Table 2, the Shore 00 hardness results of the cured products of Examples A to F are in the range of 5 to 25, which is significantly lower than the range (50 to 70) of traditional UV and moisture curing silicone based adhesives, e.g. Example G. 
     It is also clear in Table 2 that elongation results of the cured products of Examples A to F are much larger than that of Example G, which indicates that the inventive adhesive compositions are much softer than traditional formulations. 
     It is believed that such excellent results are due to the assumption that the combination of silicones with different curing densities brings about the free volume in the polymer which allows the polymer chain to move even after the dual cure is completed. Therefore, the stress built up in the substrates during assembly and long term thermal cycles can be largely absorbed and decreased by the inventive adhesives, and in turn Mura effect will be avoided. In addition, the softer adhesive can be used in displays as a shock absorber to increase the durability of the devices. 
     In addition, the inventive adhesives also exhibited properties including good adhesion to different substrates, good transmittance, good stability under room temperature, high temperature and high humidity.
