Abstract

Provided is a method for easily manufacturing a metal-polyolefin bonded body having high bonding strength. This method for manufacturing a metallic member-resin member bonded body comprises: preparing a film that includes at least one modified polyolefin layer selected from the group consisting of a layer containing a reaction product 1 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin, a bifunctional epoxy resin, and a bifunctional phenol compound, a layer containing a reaction product 2 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin, and a layer containing a mixture of a polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin; disposing the film on at least a part of the surface of a metallic substrate so as to expose the modified polyolefin layer, thereby forming a metallic member in which a resin coating layer is laminated on the metallic substrate; and bonding a resin member onto the resin coating layer of the metallic member.

Claims (28)

1 : A method for manufacturing a metal member-resin member bonded body, comprising:

preparing a film comprising at least one modified polyolefin layer selected from the group consisting of a layer comprising a reaction product 1 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin, a bifunctional epoxy resin, and a bifunctional phenol compound, a layer comprising a reaction product 2 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin, and a layer comprising a mixture of a polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin;

placing the film on at least a portion of a surface of a metal substrate so that the modified polyolefin layer is exposed to form a metal member having a resin coating layer laminated on the metal substrate; and

bonding a resin member onto the resin coating layer of the metal member.

2 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding is carried out by at least one method selected from the group consisting of an ultrasonic welding method, a vibration welding method, an electromagnetic induction method, a radiofrequency method, a laser method, and a heat press method.

3 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding is carried out simultaneously with molding of a resin member by injection molding, transfer molding, press molding, filament winding molding, or hand lay-up molding on the resin coating layer of the metal substrate.

4 : A method for manufacturing a metal member-resin member bonded body, comprising:

preparing a film comprising at least one modified polyolefin layer selected from the group consisting of a layer comprising a reaction product 1 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin, a bifunctional epoxy resin, and a bifunctional phenol compound, a layer comprising a reaction product 2 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin, and a layer comprising a mixture of a polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin;

interposing the film between a metal substrate and a resin member so that the modified polyolefin layer is in contact with the resin member; and

bonding the metal substrate and the resin member together via the film.

5 : The method according to claim 4 , wherein the bonding is carried out by at least one method selected from the group consisting of an ultrasonic welding method, a vibration welding method, an electromagnetic induction method, a radiofrequency method, a laser method, and a heat press method.

6 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction product 1 is obtained by subjecting a bifunctional epoxy resin and a bifunctional phenol compound to a polyaddition reaction in a solution comprising a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin.

7 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction product 2 is obtained by reacting a thermoplastic epoxy resin generated by a polyaddition reaction of a bifunctional epoxy resin and a bifunctional phenol compound with a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin.

8 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mixture is a mixture of polypropylene and a thermoplastic epoxy resin.

9 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film is composed of a plurality of layers including the modified polyolefin layer and a layer other than the modified polyolefin layer, and at least one layer other than the modified polyolefin layer is at least one selected from a thermoplastic epoxy resin layer formed of a resin composition comprising a thermoplastic epoxy resin and a curable resin layer formed of a resin composition comprising a curable resin.

10 : The method according to claim 9 , wherein the curable resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of urethane resins, epoxy resins, vinyl ester resins, and unsaturated polyester resins.

11 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal substrate has a functional group-containing layer laminated on a surface in contact with the film; and

the functional group-containing layer comprises at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of (1) to (7) below:

(1) at least one functional group derived from a silane coupling agent and selected from the group consisting of a glycidyl group, an amino group, a (meth)acryloyl group, and a mercapto group;

(2) a functional group generated by reacting an amino group derived from a silane coupling agent with at least one selected from a glycidyl compound and a thiol compound;

(3) a functional group generated by reacting a mercapto group derived from a silane coupling agent with at least one selected from the group consisting of a glycidyl compound, an amino compound, an isocyanate compound, a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and a glycidyl group, and a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and an amino group;

(4) a functional group generated by reacting a (meth)acryloyl group derived from a silane coupling agent with a thiol compound;

(5) a functional group generated by reacting a glycidyl group derived from a silane coupling agent with at least one selected from the group consisting of a compound having an amino group and a (meth)acryloyl group, an amino compound, and a thiol compound;

(6) an isocyanato group derived from an isocyanate compound; and

(7) a mercapto group derived from a thiol compound.

12 : The method according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the metal substrate is subjected to at least one surface treatment selected from the group consisting of blasting treatment, polishing treatment, etching treatment, and chemical conversion treatment.

13 : A film comprising at least one modified polyolefin layer selected from the group consisting of a layer comprising a reaction product 1 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin, a bifunctional epoxy resin, and a bifunctional phenol compound, a layer comprising a reaction product 2 of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin, and a layer comprising a mixture of a polyolefin and a thermoplastic epoxy resin.
