本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体は、基材、中間層、及びコレステリック樹脂層をこの順に備える。
図1は、本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体の一例を概略的に示す断面図である。図1において、コレステリック樹脂積層体100は、基材101と、コレステリック樹脂層103と、その間に介在する中間層122とを備える。
基材を構成する材料は、特に限定されず、その例としては、樹脂、金属、ガラス、及び紙が挙げられる。
コレステリック樹脂積層体の使用の態様において、基材が、コレステリック樹脂層より視認者側に位置する場合は、光透過性の材料を好ましく用いうる。光透過性の材料は、好ましくは基材の全光線透過率が70%以上となる材料である。
コレステリック樹脂層は、コレステリック規則性を有する固体の樹脂の層である。コレステリック規則性とは、一平面上では分子軸が一定の方向に並んでいるが、それに重なる次の平面では分子軸の方向が少し角度をなしてずれ、さらに次の平面ではさらに角度がずれるというように、重なって配列している平面を順次透過して進むに従って当該平面中の分子軸の角度がずれて(ねじれて)いく構造である。このように分子軸の方向がねじれてゆく構造は光学的にカイラルな構造となる。
液晶組成物は、液晶性化合物を含む流体状の材料である。ここで便宜上「液晶組成物」と称する材料は、2以上の物質の混合物のみならず、単一の物質からなる材料をも包含する。
式(1)において、R1及びR2は、それぞれ独立して、炭素原子数1個~20個の直鎖状又は分岐鎖状のアルキル基、炭素原子数1個~20個の直鎖状又は分岐鎖状のアルキレンオキサイド基、水素原子、ハロゲン原子、ヒドロキシル基、カルボキシル基、任意の結合基が介在していてもよい(メタ)アクリル基、エポキシ基、メルカプト基、イソシアネート基、アミノ基、及びシアノ基からなる群より選択される基である。
Bとして特に好ましいものとしては、単結合、-O-(C=O)-及び-CH=N-N=CH-が挙げられる。
R3-C3-D3-C5-M-C6-D4-C4-R4 式(2)
上に述べた液晶組成物(X)等の液晶組成物を、コレステリック樹脂層形成用の適切な支持体上に塗布して、液晶組成物の層とし、この層を硬化することにより、コレステリック樹脂層を形成しうる。
本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体は、基材及びコレステリック樹脂層の間に中間層が介在することにより、コレステリック樹脂積層体の使用中の色の経時変化を低減しうる。特定の理論に拘束されるものでは無いが、その理由としては、例えば以下のことが考えられる。コレステリック樹脂層中には、重合していない単量体成分が存在する場合があり、コレステリック樹脂積層体の使用に際してコレステリック樹脂層が加熱されると、かかる単量体成分が層内を移動し、さらには他の層へ移行し、その濃度が変動する場合がある。そのような変動が生じると、コレステリック樹脂層中のらせん構造のピッチが変動し、反射帯域中心波長のシフトが発生しうる。ここで、基材及びコレステリック樹脂層の間に中間層が介在することにより、かかる単量体成分の移行が抑制され、それによりコレステリック樹脂積層体の使用中の色の経時変化を低減しうる。
中間層(i):ポリビニルアルコール、変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物若しくはこれらの混合物を含む層。
中間層(ii):ポリビニルアルコール、変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物若しくはこれらの混合物と、硬化剤とを含む材料の硬化物の層。
特に、中間層として、変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物と、硬化剤とを含む材料の硬化物の層を採用することが、所定以下の反射帯域中心波長の加熱変化の値を得る上で特に好ましい。
中間層の材料として変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物が用いられる場合、かかる変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物の例としては、ポリビニルアルコールの-OH基を、置換基で置換したものが挙げられる。置換基の例としては、アセトアセトキシ基(-OCOCH2COCH3)、4級アンモニウム塩化物基(-NR3Cl、Rはアルキル基であって、各々のRにおいて独立に、炭素数は好ましくは1~5、より好ましくは1~3、さらにより好ましくは1~2)、スルホン酸ナトリウム基(-SO3Z、ZはNa等のアルカリ金属)、エチレンオキサイド基(-(CH2CH2O)X-H、Xは好ましくは1以上、より好ましくは1)、及びこれらの組み合わせが挙げられる。変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物は、一分子のポリビニルアルコールが多数有する-OH基の一部が置換されたものであってもよく、全部が置換されたものであってもよい。
本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体は、基材及びコレステリック樹脂層を形成し、さらにこれらの間に中間層を形成することにより、好ましく製造しうる。
好ましい態様において、中間層は、接着剤を硬化させてなる接着層である。したがって、本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体は、基材及びコレステリック樹脂層を、接着剤を用いて接着することにより製造しうる。具体的には、本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体は、基材及びコレステリック樹脂層を、接着剤の層を介して重ね合わせ、接着剤の層を硬化させ中間層を形成することにより製造しうる。
接着剤(i):ポリビニルアルコール、変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物若しくはこれらの混合物を含む材料。
接着剤(ii):ポリビニルアルコール、変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物若しくはこれらの混合物と、硬化剤とを含む材料。
特に、接着剤として、変性ポリビニルアルコール化合物と、硬化剤とを含む材料を用いることが、所定以下の反射帯域中心波長の加熱変化の値を得る上で特に好ましい。
例えば、接着剤として接着剤(i)を用いる場合、接着剤の層を含む積層体を乾燥処理することにより、接着剤中の溶媒の全部又は一部を揮発させ、接着剤を硬化させることができる。
本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体は、130℃において8時間加熱した前後におけるコレステリック樹脂層の反射帯域中心波長の差が50nm以下である。
差Δλstの値は、好ましくは30nm以下、より好ましくは10nm以下である。差Δλstの値の下限は特に限定されず、理想的には0nmである。

本発明の加飾用材料は前記本発明のコレステリック樹脂積層体を備える。具体的には、コレステリック樹脂積層体を適当な寸法に裁断し、そのまま加飾用材料として用いうる他、コレステリック樹脂積層体を、適当な接着剤を介して他の部材に貼合し、それにより加飾用材料を構成してもよい。本発明の加飾用材料による加飾の対象となる物品としては、例えば、装飾品、文具、家具、自動車(内外装)、家電、パーソナルコンピューター、化粧品パッケージ等が挙げられる。本発明の加飾用材料により得る意匠的な効果は特に限定されず、コレステリック樹脂層の持つ外観を生かした任意のものとしうる。例えば、金属を用いずに金属調の光沢を付与することができるので、金属の使用が好ましくない用途においても金属調の意匠的効果を得ることができる。また、上に述べた表示媒体と同様に、コレステリック樹脂層上にホログラムエンボスを形成し、ホログラムの意匠的効果を得ることもできる。

〔反射帯域中心波長〕
