Abstract

An adhesive film, an adhesive composition for the same, and a display member including the same are disclosed. The adhesive film includes a cured product of an adhesive composition, which includes a (meth)acrylic copolymer formed from a monomer mixture including (a1) an alkyl (meth)acrylate having a C 1 to C 17 alkyl group and (a2) an alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 18 or more carbon atoms. The adhesive film has a ratio (B/A) of 90° peel strength (B) after aging the adhesive film at 25° C. for 30 minutes and leaving the adhesive film at 90° C. for 40 seconds to 90° peel strength (A) after aging the adhesive film at 25° C. for 30 minutes of about 0.1 or less.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An adhesive film comprising:
a cured product of an adhesive composition, the adhesive composition comprising:
(A) a (meth)acrylic copolymer formed from a monomer mixture comprising:
(a1) an alkyl (meth)acrylate having a C 1 to C 17 alkyl group;
(a2) an alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 18 or more carbon atoms;
(a3) a (meth)acrylate having an alicyclic group;
(a4) a (meth)acrylate having a hydroxyl group; and
(a5) a (meth)acrylate having a hetero-alicyclic group, wherein the (a2) alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 18 or more carbon atoms is present in the monomer mixture in an amount of about 5 wt % to 15 wt %, and the (a4) (meth)acrylate having a hydroxyl group is present in the monomer mixture in an amount of about 15 wt % to about 25 wt %, based on the total amount of the monomer mixture,

the adhesive film having a ratio (X/Y) of 90° peel strength after aging the adhesive film at 25° C. for 30 minutes and exposing the adhesive film to a temperature of 90° C. for 40 seconds (X) to 90° peel strength after aging the adhesive film at 25° C. for 30 minutes (Y) of about 0.09 to about 0.1.

2. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein the peel strength (Y) is about 1800 g/in to about 3500 g/in, and the peel strength (X) is about 50 g/in to about 350 g/in.

3. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein the (a2) alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 18 or more carbon atoms comprises a (meth)acrylate having a C 21 to C 25 alkyl group.

4. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein the (a1) alkyl (meth)acrylate having a C 1 to C 17 alkyl group is ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, and the (a2) alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 18 or more carbon atoms is behenyl (meth)acrylate.

5. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive composition further comprises at least one of an initiator or a cross-linking agent.

6. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive composition further comprises a silane coupling agent.

7. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive film has a rate of change of resistance (ΔR) of about 2.0% or less, as represented by Equation 1:

wherein P 2 is a resistance of the adhesive film after exposing the adhesive film to a temperature of 60° C. at a relative humidity of 90% for 240 hours, and P 1 is an initial resistance of the adhesive film.

8. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive film has a thickness of about 10 μm to about 2 mm.

9. The adhesive film according to claim 1 , wherein
the adhesive composition further comprises:
(B) an initiator; and
(C) a cross-linking agent.

10. The adhesive film according to claim 9 , wherein the (a2) alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 18 or more carbon atoms comprises a (meth)acrylate having a C 21 to C 25 alkyl group.

11. The adhesive film according to claim 9 , wherein the (meth)acrylic copolymer comprises:
about 50 wt % to about 55 wt % of the (a1) alkyl (meth)acrylate having a C 1 to C 17 alkyl group, based on the total weight of the (meth)acrylic copolymer;
about 16 wt % to about 18 wt % of the (a3) (meth)acrylate having an alicyclic group, based on the total weight of the (meth)acrylic copolymer;
about 15 wt % to about 18 wt % of the (a4) (meth)acrylate having a hydroxyl group, based on the total weight of the (meth)acrylic copolymer; and
about 1 wt % to about 5 wt % of the (a5) (meth)acrylate having a hetero-alicyclic group, based on the total weight of the (meth)acrylic copolymer.

12. The adhesive film according to claim 9 , comprising:
100 parts by weight of the (A) (meth)acrylic copolymer;
about 0.001 parts by weight to about 3 parts by weight of the (B) initiator; and
about 0.01 parts by weight to about 5 parts by weight of the (C) cross-linking agent.

13. The adhesive film according to claim 9 , further comprising: an epoxy silane coupling agent.

14. A display member comprising:
an optical film; and
the adhesive film according to claim 1 on one or more sides of the optical film.

15. The display member according to claim 14 , wherein the optical film is selected from the group consisting of touch panels, windows, polarizers, color filters, retardation films, elliptical polarizing films, reflective films, antireflective films, compensation films, brightness enhancing films, alignment layers, light diffusion films, anti-scattering films for glass, surface protective films, plastic LCD substrates, indium tin oxide (ITO) films, fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) films, aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) films, carbon nanotube (CNT)-containing films, Ag nanowire-containing films, and graphene.
