Adhesive composition, protective film and polarizing plate which comprise adhesive layer comprising same, and image display device comprising same
An adhesive composition is provided. The adhesive composition includes a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin; a melamine-based crosslinking agent; an acid catalyst; and a silane-based additive. The weight ratio of the melamine-based crosslinking agent and the acid catalyst is from 5:1 to 1:1. The acid catalyst also has a sulfonic acid group. A protective film and a polarizing plate including an adhesive layer including the adhesive composition, and an image display device including the polarizing plate is also provided.
1. An adhesive composition comprising:
a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin;
a melamine-based crosslinking agent in 5 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin;
an acid catalyst in 1 part by weight to 20 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, wherein the acid catalyst includes a sulfonic acid group, and a weight ratio of the melamine-based crosslinking agent and the acid catalyst is from 5:1 to 1:1; and
a silane-based additive in 10 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin,
wherein the melamine-based crosslinking agent is represented by the following Chemical Formula 1:

9. A protective film comprising:
an adhesive layer comprising the adhesive composition of claim 1 , provided on one surface of the protective film.
10. The protective film of claim 9 , which is a triacetylcellulose film, a cycloolefin polymer (COP) film or an acryl-based film.
11. A polarizing plate comprising:
a polarizer;
an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the polarizer and including the adhesive composition of claim 1 ; and
a protective film provided on at least one surface of the adhesive layer.
12. The polarizing plate of claim 11 , wherein the adhesive layer has a thickness of greater than 0 μm and less than or equal to 20 μm.
13. An image display device comprising:
a display panel; and
the polarizing plate of claim 11 provided on one surface or both surfaces of the display panel.
