Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a metal-containing additive and a crosslinkable polymer composition that each contain a β-diketonato metal complex and have excellent storage stability, and provide a crosslinked polymer material, a metal member, and a wire harness that are each produced using such a crosslinkable polymer composition. The metal-containing additive includes the β-diketonato metal complex and a primary alkyl alcohol having 4 to 30 carbon atoms. The crosslinkable polymer composition includes the metal-containing additive and an organic polymer, where the organic polymer has a substituent capable of forming ionic bonds with metal ions released by heat from the metal-containing additive.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A metal member, comprising: I. a metal base; and II. a coating material covering a surface of the metal base, wherein the coating material comprises a crosslinked product of a crosslinkable polymer composition, the crosslinkable polymer composition comprising i. a metal-containing additive, the metal-containing additive comprising: (A) a β-diketonato metal complex; and (B) a primary alkyl alcohol having 4 to 30 carbon atoms; and ii. an uncrosslinked organic polymer, wherein the uncrosslinked organic polymer has a substituent capable of forming ionic bonds with metal ions released by heat from the metal-containing additive during crosslinking of the organic polymer, and wherein in the crosslinked product of the crosslinkable polymer composition, the organic polymer is crosslinked via metal ions released from the metal-containing additive during crosslinking of the organic polymer. 2 . The metal member according to claim 1 , wherein the alkyl alcohol is a linear alkyl alcohol. 3 . The metal member according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the alkyl alcohol in the metal-containing additive is twice or more in molar ratio, the amount of the β-diketonato metal complex. 4 . The metal member according to claim 1 , wherein the β-diketonato metal complex comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of an alkaline earth metal, zinc, titanium, and aluminum. 5 . The metal member according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of the alkyl alcohol coordinates to metal atoms of the β-diketonato metal complex. 6 . The metal member according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing additive has higher storage stability than the β-diketonato metal complex, and metal ions are released at a temperature of 50° C. or higher and 200° C. or lower. 7 . The metal member according to claim 1 , wherein the substituent of the organic polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid group, an acid anhydride group, a phosphoric acid group, and a sulfonic acid group. 8 . The metal member according to claim 7 , wherein the organic polymer is liquid at 150° C. or lower. 9 . The metal member according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinkable polymer composition comprises 0.2 parts by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less of the metal-containing additive with respect to 100 parts by mass of the organic polymer. 10 . A wire harness, comprising a crosslinked product of a crosslinkable polymer composition, the crosslinkable polymer comprising i. a metal-containing additive, the metal-containing additive comprising: (A) a β-diketonato metal complex; and (B) a primary alkyl alcohol having 4 to 30 carbon atoms, and ii. an uncrosslinked organic polymer, wherein the uncrosslinked organic polymer has a substituent capable of forming ionic bonds with metal ions released by heat from the metal-containing additive during crosslinking of the organic polymer and wherein in the crosslinked product of the crosslinkable polymer composition, the organic polymer is crosslinked via metal ions released from the metal-containing additive during crosslinking of the organic polymer. 11 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein the alkyl alcohol is a linear alkyl alcohol. 12 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein the amount of the alkyl alcohol in the metal-containing additive is twice or more in molar ratio, the amount of the β-diketonato metal complex. 13 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein the β-diketonato metal complex comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of an alkaline earth metal, zinc, titanium, and aluminum. 14 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein at least part of the alkyl alcohol coordinates to metal atoms of the β-diketonato metal complex. 15 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein the metal-containing additive has higher storage stability than the β-diketonato metal complex, and metal ions are released at a temperature of 50° C. or higher and 200° C. or lower. 16 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein the substituent of the organic polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid group, an acid anhydride group, a phosphoric acid group, and a sulfonic acid group. 17 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein the organic polymer is liquid at 150° C. or lower. 18 . The wire harness according to claim 10 , wherein the composition comprises 0.2 parts by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less of the metal-containing additive with respect to 100 parts by mass of the organic polymer.
