Abstract

A method for producing a binder resin by a reaction of a cellulose derivative, a polyvinyl acetal, and a bonding agent that has in the molecule at least two functional groups that can react to hydroxyl groups in the polyvinyl acetal and the cellulose derivative. In the production method, the content of the bonding agent is at least double the molar quantity of whichever has the greater number of moles between the polyvinyl acetal and the cellulose derivative. The produced binder resin is favorable in a coating paste such as a conductive paste, and causes an improvement in film quality such as the smoothness and denseness of a coating film formed by the paste.

First claim

a reaction step of mixing the cellulose derivative and the polyvinyl acetal with the bonding agent in a molar quantity that is at least double the molar quantity of whichever is added in a greater number of moles between the cellulose derivative and the polyvinyl acetal, so as to bond the hydroxyl groups to the functional groups.

2. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 1 , wherein the functional groups in the bonding agent are able to react with hydroxyl groups by means of an activator in the reaction step.

3. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 2 , wherein the total molar quantity of the activator added is 1.5-2.5 times the number of moles of the bonding agent added.

4. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding agent is poly(ethylene glycol)bis(carboxymethyl) ether.

5. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 1 , wherein the molar quantity of the bonding agent added is not more than 15 times the molar quantity of whichever is added in a greater number of moles between the cellulose derivative and the polyvinyl acetal.

6. A method for producing a resin composition, the method comprising:
a step of preparing the binder resin produced by the method for producing a binder resin described in claim 1 , inorganic particles and an organic solvent; and
a step of kneading the binder resin, the inorganic particles and the organic solvent.

7. The method for producing a resin composition according to claim 6 , wherein the inorganic particles comprise electrically conductive particles.

a second stage reaction step of mixing a product produced in the first stage reaction step with the other resin of either the cellulose derivative or the polyvinyl acetal and the activator, so as to bond hydroxyl groups in the other resin to the functional groups.

11. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 10 , including a removal step to remove an unreacted bonding agent between the first stage reaction step and the second stage reaction step.

12. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 10 , wherein the molar quantity of the bonding agent added is 2-10 times the number of moles of the activator added in the first stage reaction step.

13. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 10 , wherein the bonding agent is poly(ethylene glycol)bis(carboxymethyl) ether.

14. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 10 , wherein the molar quantity of the bonding agent added is not more than 15 times the molar quantity of whichever is added in a greater number of moles between the cellulose derivative and the polyvinyl acetal.

15. The method for producing a binder resin according to claim 10 , wherein the total molar quantity of the activator is 1.5-2.5 times the number of moles of the bonding agent added.
