Abstract

The invention provides a material having a structure including three or more anthracene structures per molecule as a photosensitive unit. That structure allows the material to remain in a liquid state at room temperature due to its reduced crystallinity. After coated on an application member in a liquid state, it is irradiated with light from outside so that it can be cured by way of photocrosslinking, and when heated, it returns back to the original state as the linkage is cleaved. By use of this material it is possible to form a reversibly detachable layer that serves as an adhesive layer at an interface to an application member and a coating layer at the surface of the application member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A photocurable composition composed mainly of a liquid anthracene derivative including three or more anthracene moiety-containing groups per molecule,
wherein said anthracene derivative is represented by the following formula 1 or 2:

where in formula 1, n is indicative of an integer of 3 to 6, and in formulae 1 and 2, A stands for a group comprising A 1 represented by any one of the following formulae a), b) and c) or a group selected from said A 1 and the following A 2 where said A 2 is a group selected from a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C22 alkyl group, and a C2 to C22 alkanoyl group that may be substituted by a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, a fluorine atom or an acetyloxy group, and n A's in formula 1 and all or three or more of four A's in formula 2 are A 1 ;

where in formula a), b) or c), X is a group selected from an ester, an ether, a benzyl ether, a ketone, an amine, an amide and a methylene group, Y is a C1 to C20 alkylene group or a C2 to C20 alkylenecarbonyl group, and Z is a group selected from a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, a fluorine atom, a cyano group, a methyl group and a methoxy group, and
wherein said composition is irradiated with light to make a transition from a fluidization state to a non-fluidization state and even after restored back to room temperature by heating, said composition remains in a fluidization state.

2. A photocurable composition composed mainly of a liquid anthracene derivative including three or more anthracene moiety-containing groups per molecule, and a plasticizer;
wherein said composition is irradiated with light to make a transition from a fluidization state to a non-fluidization state and even after restored back to room temperature by heating, said composition remains in a fluidization state.

3. A photocurable composition as recited in claim 1 , wherein the composition is capable of repetition of said non-fluidization/fluidization.

4. A cured composition, in which a photocurable composition as recited in claim 1 is irradiated with light containing ultraviolet light for curing.

5. A liquefied composition, in which a photo-curable composition as recited in claim 1 is heated and liquefied.

6. A coating agent, comprising a photocurable composition as recited in claim 1 .

7. An adhesive, comprising a photocurable composition composed mainly of a liquid anthracene derivative including three or more anthracene moiety-containing groups per molecule,
wherein said composition is irradiated with light to make a transition from a fluidization state to a non-fluidization state and even after restored back to room temperature by heating, said composition remains in a fluidization state.

8. An anthracene derivative, represented by the following formula 1 or 2:

where in formula 1, n is indicative of an integer of 3 to 6, and in formulae 1 and 2, A stands for a group comprising A 1 represented by any one of the following formulae a), b) and c) or a group selected from said A 1 and the following A 2 where said A 2 is a group selected from a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C22 alkyl group, and a C2 to C22 alkanoyl group that may be substituted by a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, a fluorine atom or an acetyloxy group, and n A's in formula 1 and all or three or more of four A's in formula 2 are A 1 ;

where in formula a), b) or c), X is a group selected from an ester, an ether, a benzyl ether, a ketone, an amine, an amide and a methylene group, Y is a C1 to C20 alkylene group or a C2 to C20 alkylene carbonyl group, and Z is a group selected from a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, a fluorine atom, a cyano group, a methyl group and a methoxy group.
