1)架橋性単量体の共重合
2)ラジカル重合時のポリマー鎖への連鎖移動を利用
3)反応性官能基を有する重合体を合成後、必要に応じて架橋剤を添加して後架橋
重合体が架橋構造を有することにより、当該重合体又はその塩を含むバインダーは、優れた結着力を有することができる。上記の内でも、操作が簡便であり、架橋の程度を制御し易い点から架橋性単量体の共重合による方法が好ましい。
架橋性単量体としては、2個以上の重合性不飽和基を有する多官能重合性単量体、及び加水分解性シリル基等の自己架橋可能な架橋性官能基を有する単量体等が挙げられる。

なお、上記水膨潤粒子径は、本明細書実施例に記載の方法により測定することができる。
架橋重合体は、三次元架橋構造を有し、水などの媒体中でミクロゲルとして存在するものである。一般的に、このような三次元架橋重合体は溶媒に不溶であるため、その分子量を測定することはできない。同様に、架橋重合体の一次鎖長を測定し、定量することも、通常は困難である。
本明細書では、水膨潤度は架橋重合体又はその塩の乾燥時の質量「(WA)g」、及び当該架橋重合体又はその塩を水で飽和膨潤させた際に吸収される水の質量「(WB)g」とから、以下の式に基づいて算出される。
(水膨潤度)={(WA)+(WB)}/(WA)
pH8における水膨潤度は、pH8の水中における架橋重合体又はその塩の膨潤度を測定することにより得ることができる。上記pH8の水としては、例えばイオン交換水を使用することができ、必要に応じて適当な酸若しくはアルカリ、又は緩衝液等を用いてpHの値を調整してもよい。測定時のpHは、例えば、8.0±0.5の範囲であり、好ましくは8.0±0.3の範囲であり、より好ましくは8.0±0.2の範囲であり、さらに好ましくは8.0±0.1の範囲である。また、測定は、25±5℃で行う。
本重合体は、溶液重合、沈殿重合、懸濁重合、乳化重合等の公知の重合方法を使用することが可能であるが、生産性の点で沈殿重合及び懸濁重合(逆相懸濁重合)が好ましい。結着性等に関してより良好な性能が得られる点で、沈殿重合、懸濁重合、乳化重合等の不均一系の重合法が好ましく、中でも沈殿重合法がより好ましい。
沈殿重合は、原料である不飽和単量体を溶解するが、生成する重合体を実質溶解しない溶媒中で重合反応を行うことにより重合体を製造する方法である。重合の進行とともにポリマー粒子は凝集及び成長により大きくなり、数十nm~数百nmの一次粒子が数μm~数十μmに二次凝集したポリマー粒子の分散液が得られる。ポリマーの粒子サイズを制御するために分散安定剤を使用することもできる。

これらの内でも、長鎖アルキル基を有する疎水性アミンを用いた場合、より大きな静電反発及び立体反発が得られることから、単量体濃度の高い場合であっても重合安定性を確保しやすい点で好ましい。具体的には、有機アミン化合物に存在する窒素原子数に対する炭素原子数の比で表される値(C/N)が高い程、立体反発効果による重合安定化効果が高い。上記C/Nの値は、好ましくは3以上であり、より好ましくは5以上であり、さらに好ましくは10以上であり、一層好ましくは20以上である。
尚、本明細書では、塩基化合物の使用量は、エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体に対して用いた塩基化合物のモル濃度を表したものであり、中和度を意味するものではない。すなわち、用いる塩基化合物の価数は考慮しない。

上記共重合体中における上記その他の単量体に由来する構造単位は、例えば、0~30質量%の範囲とすることができ、また例えば、0~20質量%の範囲とすることができる。
本発明の二次電池用電極は、銅又はアルミニウム等の集電体表面に上記電極合剤層用組成物から形成される合剤層を備えてなるものである。合剤層は、集電体の表面に本発明の電極合剤層用組成物を塗工した後、水等の媒体を乾燥除去することにより形成される。電極合剤層用組成物を塗工する方法は特に限定されず、ドクターブレード法、ディップ法、ロールコート法、コンマコート法、カーテンコート法、グラビアコート法及びエクストルージョン法などの公知の方法を採用することができる。また、上記乾燥は、温風吹付け、減圧、(遠)赤外線、マイクロ波照射等の公知の方法により行うことができる。
通常、乾燥後に得られた合剤層には、金型プレス及びロールプレス等による圧縮処理が施される。圧縮することにより活物質及びバインダーを密着させ、合剤層の強度及び集電体への密着性を向上させることができる。圧縮により合剤層の厚みを、例えば、圧縮前の30~80%程度に調整することができ、圧縮後の合剤層の厚みは4~200μm程度が一般的である。

<3> カルボキシル基含有重合体又はその塩の試料6(測定試料)は2枚の試料固定用濾紙7に挟まれ、試料固定用濾紙は粘着テープ9によって固定される。なお、使用する濾紙は全てADVANTEC No.2、内径55mmである。
<1>と<2>とはシリコンチューブ3によって繋がれる。
また、ロート5及び支柱円筒8は、ビュレット1に対する高さが固定されており、ビュレット枝管の内部に設置されたポリテトラフルオロエチレンチューブ4の下端と支柱円筒8の底面とが同じ高さになる様に設定されている(図1中の点線)。
<1>にあるピンチコック2を外し、ビュレット1の上部からシリコンチューブ3を通してpH8.0に調整されたイオン交換水を入れ、ビュレット1から装置用濾紙10までイオン交換水12で満たされた状態とする。次いで、ピンチコック2を閉じ、ビュレット枝管にゴム栓で接続されたポリテトラフルオロエチレンチューブ4から空気を除去する。こうして、ビュレット1から装置用濾紙10までイオン交換水12が連続的に供給される状態とする。
次に、装置用濾紙10からにじみ出た余分なイオン交換水12を除去した後、ビュレット1の目盛りの読み(a)を記録する。
測定試料の乾燥粉末0.1~0.2gを秤量し、<3>にある様に、試料固定用濾紙7の中央部に均一に置く。もう1枚の濾紙でサンプルを挟み、粘着テープ9で2枚の濾紙を留め、サンプルを固定する。サンプルが固定された濾紙を<2>に示される装置用濾紙10上に載置する。
次に、装置用濾紙10上に蓋11を載置した時点から、30分間経過した後のビュレット1の目盛りの読み(b)を記録する。
測定試料の吸水量と2枚の試料固定用濾紙7の吸水量の合計(c)は(a-b)で求められる。同様の操作により、カルボキシル基含有重合体又はその塩の試料を含まない、2枚の濾紙7のみの吸水量(d)を測定する。
上記操作を行い、水膨潤度を以下の式より計算した。なお、計算に使用する固形分は、後述する方法により測定した値を使用した。
水膨潤度={測定試料の乾燥質量(g)+(c-d)}/{測定試料の乾燥質量(g)}
ただし、測定試料の乾燥質量(g)=測定試料の質量(g)×(固形分(%)÷100)
試料約0.5gを、予め質量を測定しておいた秤量瓶[秤量瓶の質量=B(g)]に採取して、秤量瓶ごと正確に秤量した後[W0(g)]、その試料を秤量瓶ごと無風乾燥機内に収容して155℃で45分間乾燥してその時の質量を秤量瓶ごと測定し[W1(g)]、以下の式により固形分を求めた。
固形分(%)=(W1-B)/(W0-B)×100
濃度0.5質量%のカルボキシル基含有重合体(塩)の水分散液を調製し、4,000rpmで30分間の遠心分離を行った後、上澄み液を採取した。この上澄み液をイオン交換水で15倍希釈し、測定試料とした。ICP発光分析(ICAP 7600/Thermo Fischer Scientific社製)により測定試料中のLi(又はNa、K)濃度を測定した。
以下の式により、表1記載の仕込み値から算出されるLi(又はNa、K)濃度[M1(ppm)]に対する前記測定試料中のLi(又はNa、K)濃度[M2(ppm)]の割合から、ゾル分率を算出した。
ゾル分率(%)=M2/M1×100
(製造例1:カルボキシル基含有重合体塩R-1の製造)
重合には、攪拌翼、温度計、還流冷却器及び窒素導入管を備えた反応器を用いた。
反応器内にアセトニトリル567部、イオン交換水2.20部、アクリル酸(以下、「AA」という。)90.0部、β-カルボキシエチルアクリレート(以下、「CEAA」という)10.0部、トリメチロールプロパンジアリルエーテル(ダイソー社製、商品名「ネオアリルT-20」)0.2部及び上記AAに対して1.0モル%に相当するトリエチルアミンを仕込んだ。反応器内を十分に窒素置換した後、加温して内温を55℃まで昇温した。内温が55℃で安定したことを確認した後、重合開始剤として2,2’-アゾビス(2,4-ジメチルバレロニトリル)(和光純薬工業社製、商品名「V-65」)0.040部を添加したところ、反応液に白濁が認められたため、この点を重合開始点とした。なお、単量体濃度は15.0%と算出された。重合開始点から12時間経過した時点で反応液の冷却を開始し、内温が25℃まで低下した後、水酸化リチウム・一水和物(以下、「LiOH・H2O」という)の粉末49.8部を添加した。添加後室温下12時間撹拌を継続して、カルボキシル基含有重合体塩R-1(Li塩、中和度90モル%)の粒子が媒体に分散したスラリー状の重合反応液を得た。
また、水膨潤度は63.4であり、ゾル分率は30質量%であった。
各原料の仕込み量を表1に記載の通りとした以外は製造例1と同様の操作を行い、カルボキシル基含有重合体塩R-2~R-15を含む重合反応液を得た。
次いで、各重合反応液について製造例1と同様の操作を行い、粉末状のカルボキシル基含有重合体塩R-2~R-15を得た。各カルボキシル基含有重合体塩は、水蒸気バリア性を有する容器に密封保管した。
得られた各重合体塩について、製造例1と同様に物性値を測定し、結果を表1に示す。

カルボキシル基含有重合体塩R-1を用いた電極を作製し、その評価を行った。具体的な手順及び評価方法等について以下に示す。
SiOx(0.8<x<1.2)の表面にCVD法で炭素をコートしたものを準備し(以下、「Si系活物質」という。)、黒鉛(日本黒鉛社製、商品名「CGB-10」)とSi系活物質とを混合したものを活物質として用いた。電極合剤層用組成物の固形分濃度が45質量%となるように、水を希釈溶媒として、黒鉛:Si系活物質:R-1=90:10:2.8(固形分)の質量比で予めよく混合した後、イオン交換水を加えてディスパーで予備分散を行った後、薄膜旋回式ミキサー(プライミクス社製、FM-56-30)を用いて周速度20m/秒の条件で本分散を15秒間行うことにより、スラリー状の電極合剤層用組成物(電極スラリー)を得た。各カルボキシル基含有重合体塩をバインダーとして用いた電極合剤層用組成物について、そのスラリー粘度及び形成された合剤層/集電体間の剥離強度(すなわちバインダーの結着性)を測定した。
上記で得られた電極スラリーについて、アントンパール社製レオメーター(Physica MCR301)を用い、CP25-5のコーンプレート(直径25mm、コーン角度5°)にて、25℃におけるせん断速度60s-1の粘度を測定したところ、9,700mPa・sであった。
120mm×30mmのアクリル板上に両面テープ(ニチバン株式会社製ナイスタックNW-20)を介して100mm×25mmサイズの上記負極極板の合剤層面を貼り付け、剥離試験用試料を作製した。60℃、1晩減圧条件下で乾燥させた後、引張試験機(ORIENTEC社製テンシロン万能試験材料機RTE-1210)を用いて、測定温度25℃、引張速度50mm/分における90°剥離を行い、合剤層と銅箔間の剥離強度を測定することにより結着性を評価した。剥離強度は11.4N/mと高く、良好であった。
バインダーとして使用するカルボキシル基含有重合体塩を表2の通り用いた以外は実施例1と同様の操作を行うことにより負極合剤層用組成物を調製した。各負極合剤層用組成物について、そのスラリー粘度及び90°剥離強度を評価した。結果を表2に示す。
本発明の二次電池電極用バインダーは、特に非水電解質二次電池電極に好適に用いることができ、中でも、エネルギー密度が高い非水電解質リチウムイオン二次電池に有用である。
