Abstract

A photocurable composition contains components (A) to (D). The composition contains 1 to 50 parts by mass of the following component (B) and 50 to 300 parts by mass of the component (C) relative to 100 parts by mass of the following component (A). The component (A) is a polyisobutylene having a (meth)acryloyl group in its molecule. The component (B) is a urethane-modified (meth)acrylate oligomer (excluding the component (A)). The component (C) is a (meth)acrylate monomer (excluding the component (A) and the component (B)). The component (D) is a photoinitiator.

Claims (18)

1 . A photocurable composition comprising the following components (A) to (D), and containing 1 to 50 parts by mass of the following component (B) and 50 to 300 parts by mass of the component (C) relative to 100 parts by mass of the following component (A);

component (A): a polyisobutylene having a (meth)acryloyl group in its molecule

component (B): a urethane-modified (meth)acrylate oligomer that is different from the component (A)

component (C): a (meth)acrylate monomer that is different from the component (A) and the component (B)

component (D): a photoinitiator,

wherein the photocurable composition has a structural viscosity ratio in a range from 3.0 or more to less than 5.5, the structural viscosity ratio being defined as a viscosity measured at a shear rate of 2 s −1 divided by a viscosity measured at a shear rate of 20 s −1 , both of the viscosities being measured at 25° C. using a cone-plate viscometer.

2 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , comprising 10 to 30 parts by mass of the component (B) relative to 100 parts by mass of the component (A).

3 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , comprising 100 to 200 parts by mass of the component (C) relative to 100 parts by mass of the component (A).

4 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (A) contains a polyisobutylene having an aromatic hydrocarbon group in its molecule.

5 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (C) contains a (meth)acrylate monomer having a structure of the following formula (C-1):

wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen or a methyl group, R 2 represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 0 to 10.

6 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a filler as component (E), wherein the photocurable composition comprises 0.1 to 50 parts by mass of the component (E) relative to 100 parts by mass of the component (A).

7 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (B) is a urethane-modified (meth)acrylate oligomer not containing a rubber skeleton.

8 . A sealing agent comprising the photocurable composition according to claim 1 .

9 . A hard disk drive comprising the sealing agent according to claim 8 .

10 . A cured product obtained by curing the photocurable composition according to claim 1 by light irradiation.

11 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (C) contains isononyl (meth)acrylate.

12 . The photocurable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (B) has a weight average molecular weight in a range from more than 1,000 to 200,000 or less.
