Specification

One]This application claims the benefit of priority based on the Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 10-2019-0111236 filed on September 09, 2019, and all contents disclosed in the documents of the Korean patent application are incorporated as a part of this specification.
[2]
This application relates to curable compositions, battery modules, battery packs and automobiles.
background
[3]
The curing rate and curing progress of the curable composition need to be adjusted according to the application purpose. For example, depending on the application, the curable composition may require a certain waiting time after the initiation of curing.
[4]
In the present specification, the term curing initiation time refers to a time point at which the curable composition is exposed to a state and environment in which curing can proceed, and the term waiting time refers to a time period in which the curing can proceed, but the degree of curing is not determined. The amount of time that is delayed to the intended level.
[5]
For example, patent document 1 discloses the content which forms the resin layer which contacts a battery cell and a module case using a curable composition. Among the methods of forming the resin layer of Patent Document 1, a method of injecting a mixture of a two-component curable composition into a battery module using an injection device such as a nozzle and curing the mixture is included. When the two-component curable composition is mixed, since the main resin and the curing agent of the main resin are in physical contact, in general, the mixing time is the curing start time, and when the curing reaction proceeds, the viscosity of the composition usually increases. In the method of forming the resin layer such as Patent Document 1, since the composition is injected with a tube-type injection equipment having a relatively small diameter such as a nozzle, when the viscosity of the composition increases, a load is applied to the injection equipment. Therefore, in this case, a waiting time is required so that the viscosity can be maintained at a low level at least until the composition is injected into the module.
[6]
In addition, depending on the manufacturing line of the battery module, when the entire process such as a purging process is performed before injection of the composition, after the two-component composition is mixed, the mixed state remains in the equipment until the entire process is completed Since it needs to be maintained at , the need for waiting time in this case further increases.
[7]
However, it is not easy to delay curing while the curable composition is exposed to curing conditions.
[8]
In addition, in the manufacturing process of the battery module, a battery cell or module inspection process is performed, and in this process, the top and bottom of the battery module are inverted in some cases. Therefore, in the inspection step, even when the top and bottom of the battery module are reversed, the composition injected into the module does not flow down or deviate from the position, and the viscosity is increased so that the reverse discharge does not occur, in which the composition once injected is discharged back to the injection port should be
[9]
During the manufacturing process of the battery module, when the reverse discharge occurs, a process of removing the reversely discharged composition needs to be performed. In this case, if the curing of the composition does not proceed excessively or, conversely, excessively proceeds, it is difficult to remove the reversely discharged composition. Accordingly, there is also a need to control the curing rate so that a degree of curing at a level that is easy to remove can be secured at the time of removal of the composition reversely discharged during the process of the module.
[10]
In order to secure a suitable degree of curing in the inspection process and/or the removal process of the reverse-discharged composition as described above and to more efficiently proceed with the battery module manufacturing process, it is advantageous for curing to proceed quickly after the waiting time has elapsed.
[11]
However, it is not easy to secure a certain level of waiting time by delaying curing after the curing start time of the curable composition. In addition, if the curable composition is formulated so that curing occurs slowly, even if a certain amount of waiting time can be secured, in this case, curing cannot be made to proceed rapidly after the waiting time has elapsed.
[12]
In addition, the curable composition for forming the resin layer disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a high filling system in which an excess amount of filler is blended in order to ensure high thermal conductivity in the resin layer. In the case of a curable composition of a high-fill system, the amount of components (such as a main agent and a curing agent) that advance the curing reaction is relatively small, and the contact probability of the components is affected by the problematic filler. In this case, it is more difficult to control the curing rate, and it is difficult to secure the waiting time or to allow the curing to proceed rapidly after the waiting time.
[13]
Moreover, the curable composition for forming the resin layer disclosed in patent document 1 needs to be comprised so that it may have a relatively low viscosity for injection|pouring. In this case, it is more difficult to control the contact probability of the components (such as the subject and the curing agent) that proceed with the curing reaction. Even in this case, it is more difficult to control the curing rate, and it is difficult to secure the waiting time or to allow the curing to proceed rapidly after the waiting time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
technical challenge
[15]
An object of the present application is to provide a curable composition. An object of the present application is to provide a curable composition that can secure a waiting time, can freely adjust the waiting time according to the use, and can control the curing speed after the waiting time has elapsed relatively quickly .
[16]
An object of the present application is to provide a curable composition capable of securing the above properties even when the curable composition is a composition having a relatively low viscosity and/or a composition including an excessive amount of filler.
[17]
Another object of the present application is to provide a battery module, a battery pack, and/or a vehicle including the curable composition or a cured product thereof.
means of solving the problem
[18]
Among the physical properties mentioned in this specification, when the measured temperature affects the result, unless otherwise specified, the corresponding physical property is a physical property measured at room temperature. The term ambient temperature is a natural temperature, both warmed and undesensitized, which is usually a temperature in the range of about 10°C to 30°C, or a temperature on the order of about 23°C or about 25°C. In addition, unless otherwise specified in this specification, the unit of temperature is °C.
[19]
Among the physical properties mentioned in this specification, when the measured pressure affects the result, unless otherwise specified, the corresponding physical property is a physical property measured at normal pressure. The term atmospheric pressure is a natural pressure that has not been pressurized and depressurized, and usually about 1 atmosphere is referred to as atmospheric pressure.
[20]
The viscosity referred to herein is, unless otherwise specified, using a Brookfield HB type viscometer, at a temperature of about 25 °C, at a torque of about 90% and a shear rate of about 100 rpm. Means the measurement result.
[21]
The hardness referred to in this specification, unless otherwise specified, is the shore A hardness measured using an ASKER (durometer hardness) according to ASTM D 2240 standard, and a film having a thickness of about 4 mm It is the hardness measured in the thickness direction with respect to the specimen of the shape.
[22]
As used herein, the term curing start time refers to a time point at which the curable composition is exposed to an environment capable of curing. For example, in the case of a room temperature curable composition, when the composition starts to be exposed to room temperature, in the case of a moisture curable composition, when the composition starts to be exposed to moisture to the extent that it can be cured, in the case of a thermosetting composition, the composition can be cured The curing initiation time is the time when a degree of heat is started to be applied, and in the case of a light-curable composition, a time when light to a degree capable of being cured is started to be applied to the composition. The two-component curable composition usually consists of a physically separated main composition and a curing agent composition, but before the main and curing agent compositions are mixed, curing does not proceed even when exposed to the above conditions. Accordingly, the curing start time of the two-component curable composition is the time when the main agent and the curing agent composition are mixed and exposed to the above conditions. For example, in the case of a room temperature curable two-component composition, if the main agent and the curing agent composition are mixed at room temperature, the mixing time is the curing start time, the mixing is performed at a temperature other than room temperature, and the mixture is exposed to room temperature after mixing , the time of exposure to room temperature becomes the time of initiation of curing.
[23]
As used herein, the term curing delay refers to a state in which the curing reaction does not occur or the degree of curing reaction is low to such an extent that the curable composition is exposed to an environment capable of curing, but the viscosity does not increase to an intended level.
[24]
As used herein, the term waiting time is a time from the start of the curing to the end of the curing delay state.
[25]
This application relates to a curable composition. By using the curable composition of the present application, it is possible to secure a waiting time of the curable composition suitable for use, and after the waiting time is over, it is possible to induce fast curing at an intended level.
[26]
When the curable composition of the present application is used, for example, when injecting the curable composition using a tube-type device having a relatively small diameter such as a nozzle and/or when the injection is performed in a relatively narrow space It can also not put a load on the equipment. For example, in the manufacturing process of the battery module disclosed in Patent Document 1, if the injection of the curable composition into the module case is performed while the battery cells are mounted in the module case, the curable composition enters the narrow space inside the module case. will be injected In this case, although a load may be applied to the equipment due to the generation of internal pressure, when the curable composition of the present application is used, the load is not applied to the equipment or is minimized even in this case.
[27]
The curable composition of the present application may be suitably used for a variety of uses, and for example, may be suitably used for manufacturing a battery module or battery pack (in particular, manufacturing a battery module or pack disclosed in Patent Document 1). In this case, the curable composition of the present application may be injected into the case of the battery module and used to contact one or more battery cells present in the battery module to fix the battery cells in the battery module.
[28]
The curable composition of the present application may be a one-component composition or a two-component composition. Two-part compositions typically include a physically separate subject composition and a curing agent composition. Accordingly, the description of the curable composition in the present specification refers to the content of the one-component curable composition, the subject matter of the two-component curable composition, or the content of the curing agent composition, or a mixture or reactant of the subject and the curing agent composition of the two-component curable composition. It may be about
[29]
The curable composition of the present application may be, for example, a urethane composition. The term urethane composition may refer to a composition that can be cured to form a polyurethane.
[30]
The curable composition of the present application may be of room temperature curing type, room temperature and humidity curing type, moisture curing type, heat curing type or light curing type. When the curable composition is applied to the manufacture of the battery module shown in Patent Document 1, the curable composition may be composed of a room temperature curable type.
[31]
The curable composition of the present application may include at least a polyol, a reaction inhibitor, a catalyst, and a filler.
[32]
The curable composition of the present application exhibits an appropriate waiting time after the start of curing. Therefore, for example, the curable composition takes the time required to become twice the viscosity compared to the initial viscosity (V t2 ) (that is, when the initial viscosity is V 1 , it takes to exhibit a viscosity of 2V 1 from the start of curing time) may be 15 minutes or longer.
[33]
The term initial viscosity means the viscosity of the curable composition at the time of initiation of curing. In practice, since it may be technically difficult to measure the viscosity of the curable composition immediately at the onset of curing, the initial viscosity may be determined within about 3 minutes, within about 2.5 minutes, within about 1.5 minutes, or within about 1 minute from the onset of curing. The measured viscosity may also be defined as the initial viscosity, and the viscosity measured after about 10 seconds, about 20 seconds, or about 60 seconds from the start of curing may also be defined as the initial viscosity.
[34]
In general, the viscosity of the curable composition increases as the curing reaction proceeds, and the curable composition of the present application may exhibit a waiting time in which the required time (V t2 ) is 15 minutes or more. The required time V t2 may be controlled to a desired level as needed. For example, the required time V t2 is about 17 minutes or more, 19 minutes or more, 21 minutes or more, 23 minutes or more, 25 minutes or more, 27 minutes or more, 29 minutes or more, 31 minutes or more, 33 minutes or more, 35 minutes or more, 37 minutes or more, 39 minutes or more, 41 minutes or more, 43 minutes or more, 45 minutes or more, 47 minutes or more, 49 minutes or more, 51 minutes or more, 53 minutes or more, 55 minutes or more, 57 minutes or more, 59 minutes or more. or more, 61 minutes or more, 63 minutes or more, 65 minutes or more, or 67 minutes or more and/or 100 minutes or less, 98 minutes or less, 96 minutes or less, 94 minutes or less, 92 minutes or less, 90 minutes or less, 88 minutes or less; 86 minutes or less, 84 minutes or less, 82 minutes or less, 80 minutes or less, 78 minutes or less, 76 minutes or less, 74 minutes or less, 72 minutes or less, 70 minutes or less, 68 minutes or less, 66 minutes or less, 64 minutes or less, 62 minutes or less or less, 60 minutes or less, 58 minutes or less, 56 minutes or less, 54 minutes or less, 52 minutes or less, 50 minutes or less, 48 ​​minutes or less, 46 minutes or less, 44 minutes or less, 42 minutes or less, 40 minutes or less, 38 minutes or less, It may be further adjusted within the range of 36 minutes or less, 34 minutes or less, 32 minutes or less, 30 minutes or less, 28 minutes or less, 26 minutes or less, 24 minutes or less, 22 minutes or less, or 20 minutes or less.
[35]
For example, the curable composition having the time required (Vt 2 ) adjusted within the above range may be suitably applied to the manufacture of the battery module disclosed in Patent Document 1. The curable composition exhibiting such a waiting time may be applied to the manufacturing process to reduce the load applied to the equipment, and to secure suitable work fairness (eg, secure a suitable process tact time).
[36]
In another example, the curable composition, Shore A hardness confirmation time (Ht i ) may be in the range of 40 minutes to 300 minutes. The term Shore A hardness confirmation time (Ht i ) is the time taken from the start of the curing until the shore A hardness of the curable composition starts to be confirmed. As described above, in general, the curable composition starts to increase in viscosity after curing starts, and thus hardness also increases. However, since the hardness is very low in a state where the degree of curing is low, the hardness of the curable composition cannot be confirmed using equipment. Therefore, in order to measure the hardness of the curable composition, it is necessary to cure at least a certain level after the start of curing. For example, the Shore A hardness confirmation time (Ht i ) of 40 minutes means that the curing start time This means that after 40 minutes, the hardness starts to be measured in the instrument. Therefore, a long required time (Ht i ) may mean a long waiting time, and conversely, a short time may mean that the curing speed after the waiting time is fast.
[37]
The confirmation time (Ht i ) may also be adjusted to a desired level. For example, the required time (Ht i ) is about 41 minutes or more, 42 minutes or more, 43 minutes or more, 44 minutes or more, 45 minutes or more, 46 minutes or more, 47 minutes or more, 48 minutes or more, 49 minutes or more, 50 minutes or more, 55 minutes or more, 60 minutes or more, 65 minutes or more, 70 minutes or more, 75 minutes or more, 80 minutes or more, 85 minutes or more, 90 minutes or more, 95 minutes or more, 100 minutes or more, 110 minutes or more, 120 minutes or more. or more, 130 minutes or more, 140 minutes or more, 150 minutes or more, 160 minutes or more, 170 minutes or more, 180 minutes or more, 190 minutes or more, or 200 minutes or more and/or 200 minutes or less, 190 minutes or less, 180 minutes or less, 170 minutes or less, 160 minutes or less, 150 minutes or less, 140 minutes or less, 130 minutes or less, 120 minutes or less, 110 minutes or less, 100 minutes or less, 90 minutes or less, 80 minutes or less, 70 minutes or less, 60 minutes or less, or 50 minutes or less It may be further adjusted within the following range.
[38]
For example, the curable composition having the confirmation time (Ht i ) adjusted within the above range may be suitably applied to the manufacture of the battery module disclosed in Patent Document 1. Such a curable composition may be applied to the manufacturing process to reduce the load applied to the equipment, and secure suitable work fairness (eg, secure tact time for a suitable process).
[39]
In one example, the difference (H ti -V t2 ) between the required time (V t2 ) and the confirmation time (H ti ) in the curable composition may be in the range of 25 minutes to 300 minutes. The difference (H ti -V t2 ) may also be controlled to a desired level if necessary. For example, the difference (H ti -V t2) is about 27 minutes or more, 29 minutes or more, 31 minutes or more, 33 minutes or more, 35 minutes or more, 37 minutes or more, 39 minutes or more, 41 minutes or more, 43 minutes or more, 45 minutes or more, 47 minutes or more, 49 minutes. or more, 51 minutes or more, 53 minutes or more, 55 minutes or more, 57 minutes or more, 59 minutes or more, 61 minutes or more, 63 minutes or more, 65 minutes or more, 67 minutes or more, 70 minutes or more, 80 minutes or more, 90 minutes or more, 100 minutes or more, 110 minutes or more, 120 minutes or more, or 130 minutes or more and/or 250 minutes or less, 200 minutes or less, 150 minutes or less, 100 minutes or less, 98 minutes or less, 96 minutes or less, 94 minutes or less, 92 minutes or less, 90 minutes or less, 88 minutes or less, 86 minutes or less, 84 minutes or less, 82 minutes or less, 80 minutes or less, 78 minutes or less, 76 minutes or less, 74 minutes or less, 72 minutes or less, 70 minutes or less, 68 minutes or less, 66 minutes or less, 64 minutes or less, 62 minutes or less, 60 minutes or less, 58 minutes or less, 56 minutes or less, 54 minutes or less, 52 minutes or less, 50 minutes or less, 48 ​​minutes or less, 46 minutes or less, 44 minutes or less, 42 minutes or less It may be further adjusted within the range of 40 minutes or less, 38 minutes or less, 36 minutes or less, 34 minutes or less, 32 minutes or less, or 30 minutes or less.

The curable composition exhibiting such a waiting time may be applied to the manufacturing process to reduce the load applied to the equipment, and to secure suitable work fairness (eg, secure a suitable process tact time).
[43]
In one example, the difference (H t40 -H ti ) between the confirmation times H ti and H t40 may be in the range of 1 minute to 30 minutes. The difference (H t40 -H ti ) may also be controlled to a desired level if necessary. For example, the difference (H t40 -H ti ) is within a range of about 2 minutes or more, 3 minutes or more, 4 minutes or more, or 4.5 minutes or more and/or 25 minutes or less, 20 minutes or less, 15 minutes or less, 10 minutes or more. or less, 9 minutes or less, 8 minutes or less, 7 minutes or less, 6 minutes or less, or 5.5 minutes or less.

In Equation 1, Li is the initial load value, and Lf is the load value 30 minutes after the start of curing.
[55]
A high rate of change of the load value means that the waiting time is short, and conversely, a low rate of change of the load value means that the waiting time is long.
[56]
In another example, the load value change rate (Lf/Li) may be about 1.9 or less, 1.8 or less, 1.7 or less, 1.6 or less, 1.5 or less, 1.4 or less, 1.3 or less, 1.2 or less, or 1.1 or less.
[57]
Also, the load value Lf may be about 50 kgf or less. In another example, the load value Lf is about 20 kgf or more, 22 kgf or more, 24 kgf or more, 26 kgf or more, 28 kgf or more, 30 kgf or more, 32 kgf or more, 34 kgf or more, 36 kgf or more, 38 kgf or more. or more, 40 kgf or more, 42 kgf or more, or 44 kgf or more and/or about 48 kgf or less, 46 kgf or less, 44 kgf or less, 42 kgf or less, 40 kgf or less, 38 kgf or less, 36 kgf or less, 34 kgf or less , 32 kgf or less, 30 kgf or less, 28 kgf or less, or 26 kgf or less may be further controlled.
[58]
1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of an apparatus 1 for measuring the load value. The load value is as shown in FIG. 1, in the process of putting the curable composition into the cartridges (2, 2a, 2b), pressurizing it with the pressing means (3, 3a, 3b), and discharging it through the mixer, the pressing means (3, 3a) , can be defined as the maximum force applied to 3b).
[59]
For example, the load values ​​Li and Lf pressurize the curable composition in the cartridges 2, 2a, 2b at a constant velocity of about 1 mm/s with the pressurizing means 3a, 3b, and discharge it via the mixer 5 It is possible to start measuring the force applied to the pressing means from the time the force is applied, and to use the force at the time when the force is maximum as the load values ​​Li and Lf.
[60]
The device 1 of FIG. 1 is a device for measuring the load value for the two-component curable composition, and has a structure in which two cartridges 2a and 2b are mounted to respectively load the main composition and the curing agent composition, but the one-component curable composition When measuring the load value of the composition, only one cartridge may be installed.
[61]
In addition, the load value Lf may be measured by confirming the maximum force in the same manner when 30 minutes have elapsed after the curing start time. For the two-component composition, for example, the main agent and the curing agent composition are injected into the two cartridges 2a and 2b, respectively, and pressurized at a constant speed of 1 mm/s with the pressurizing means 3a and 3b, and the main agent composition with the mixer 5 While injecting the composition and curing agent composition, when the amount of the injected composition reaches 95% of the capacity (volume) of the mixer, stop the pressurization, wait for about 30 minutes, and then pressurize again at the same constant velocity (1mm/s) Starting from, the maximum force applied to the pressing means may be measured as the load value Lf.
[62]
When the force applied to the pressing means is monitored in this way, the force usually increases with the lapse of time from the start of the pressing, and then starts to decrease again after a certain time has elapsed, or the increase stops, and the force is at a certain level. This shows a continuous trend. Accordingly, the maximum force may be a force just before a time point at which the reduction of the force starts, or a force maintained at the constant level.
[63]
The types of the cartridge 2 , the mixer 5 and the pressurizing means 3 applied in the measuring device 1 are described in the embodiment section.
[64]
The curable composition of the present application, depending on the use, the above-described required time or confirmation time (V t2 , H ti , H t40 and H t90 ) and/or their difference (H ti -V t2 , H t40 -H ti and H ) t90 -H t40 ) may be composed to satisfy any one or two or more or all of them.
[65]
The times V t2 , H ti , H t40 and H t90 and their differences H ti -V t2 , H t40 -H ti and H t90 -H t40 are, for example, The amount of the reaction inhibitor and/or catalyst, the functional group of the reaction inhibitor, etc. can be controlled to control.
[66]
The polyol contained in the curable composition may be a main resin. When the curable composition is a urethane composition, the polyol (base resin) may react with a curing agent to form polyurethane. In this case, an isocyanate compound may be used as the curing agent. The polyurethane may include both the polyol-derived unit and the isocyanate compound-derived unit. The polyol-derived unit may be a unit formed by the urethane reaction of the polyol with the isocyanate compound, and the isocyanate compound-derived unit may be a unit formed by the urethane reaction of the isocyanate compound with the polyol.
[67]
The ratio of the polyol in the curable composition may be adjusted within the range of about 0.5 to 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the filler. When the curable composition is the main composition of the two-component curable composition, the ratio is the ratio of the weight of all the fillers and the weight of the polyol included in the main composition, and in the case of a mixture of the main composition of the two-component curable composition and the curing agent composition, the above ratio is The ratio is the ratio of the weight of all the fillers contained in the mixture to the weight of the polyol. In another example, the ratio is about 1 part by weight or more, 1.5 parts by weight or more, 2 parts by weight or more, 2.5 parts by weight or more, 3 parts by weight or more, 3.5 parts by weight or more, 4 parts by weight or more, 4.5 parts by weight or more, 5 parts by weight or more. or more, 5.5 parts by weight or more, 6 parts by weight or more, 6.5 parts by weight or more, 7 parts by weight or more, 7.5 parts by weight or more, 8 parts by weight or more, 8.5 parts by weight or more, or 9 parts by weight or more and/or 38 parts by weight or less. , 36 parts by weight or less, 34 parts by weight or less, 32 parts by weight or less, 30 parts by weight or less, 28 parts by weight or less, 26 parts by weight or less, 24 parts by weight or less, 22 parts by weight or less, 20 parts by weight or less, 18 parts by weight or less , 16 parts by weight or less, 14 parts by weight or less, 12 parts by weight or less, 10 parts by weight or less, 8 parts by weight or less, or 6 parts by weight or less. Such a ratio is a ratio that can appear in the case of a high-fill system in which the content of filler in the curable composition is excessive.
[68]
As the polyol, a known polyol may be applied without any particular limitation. For example, as the polyol, it is possible to apply a polyol which is applied to the formation of polyurethane. As such polyols, so-called polyether polyols, polyester polyols and/or other polyols (polycarbonate polyols, polybutadiene polyols, acrylic polyols, etc.) are known.
[69]
In one example, in consideration of the possibility of appropriate control of the curing rate, a so-called aliphatic polyol may be used as the polyol.
[70]
As the polyol, a polyol having a hydroxyl value (Hydroxyl value or OH value) in the range of about 50 to 500 may be used. The unit of the hydroxyl value is mgKOH/g, and is a value measured according to a standard test method (ASTM E 1899-08). In another example, the hydroxyl value is about 60 or more, 70 or more, 80 or more, 90 or more, 100 or more, 110 or more, 120 or more, 130 or more, 140 or more, 150 or more, 160 or more, 170 or more, 180 or more, 190 or more, 200 or more, 210 or more, 220 or more, 230 or more, 240 or more, 250 or more, 260 or more, or 270 or more and/or 490 or less, 480 or more, 470 or less, 460 or less, 450 or less, 440 or less, 430 or less, 420 or more It may be further adjusted within the range of 410 or less, 400 or less, 390 or less, 380 or less, 370 or less, 360 or less, 350 or less, 340 or less, 330 or less, 320 or less, 310 or less, or 300 or less.
[71]
As the polyol, a polyol having a molecular weight in the range of about 100 to 3000 may be used in consideration of an appropriate curing rate, viscosity, durability and/or adhesion, and the like. Unless otherwise specified, in the present specification, the term molecular weight is a weight average molecular weight (Mw) measured using Gel Permeation Chromatograph (GPC), and the unit is g/mol. The molecular weight is in another example 150 or more, 200 or more, 250 or more, 300 or more, or 350 or more and/or 2500 or less, 2000 or less, 1500 or less, 1000 or less, 900 or less, 800 or less, 700 or less, 600 or less, or 500 or less. It may be further adjusted within the following ranges.
[72]
In one example, as the polyol, an ester polyol resin may be used. As the ester polyol, for example, an aliphatic ester polyol satisfying the above-mentioned hydroxyl value and/or molecular weight may be used.
[73]
The polyol may be amorphous or a polyol having sufficiently low crystallinity. The term "amorphous" means a case in which the crystallization temperature (Tc) and the melting temperature (Tm) are not observed in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The DSC analysis can be performed at a temperature in the range of -80 to 60 °C at a rate of 10 °C/min, for example, after raising the temperature from 25 °C to 60 °C at the above rate, then reducing the temperature back to -80 °C, again It can be made in a way that the temperature is raised to 60 ℃. In addition, the sufficiently low crystallinity in the above means that the melting point (Tm) observed in the DSC analysis is less than 15 ° C, about 10 ° C or less, 5 ° C or less, 0 ° C or less, -5 ° C or less, -10 ° C or less or about -20°C or less. In this case, the lower limit of the melting point is not particularly limited, but, for example, the melting point may be about -80°C or more, -75°C or more, or about -70°C or more.
[74]
In one example, as the ester polyol, for example, a carboxylic acid polyol or a caprolactone polyol may be used.
[75]
The carboxylic acid polyol may be formed by reacting a component including a carboxylic acid and a polyol (eg, a diol or a triol), and the caprolactone polyol includes caprolactone and a polyol (eg, a diol or a triol). It can be formed by reacting the components. In this case, the carboxylic acid may be a dicarboxylic acid.
[76]
In one example, the polyol may be a polyol represented by the following Chemical Formula 2 or 3.
[77]
[Formula 2]
[78]

[79]
[Formula 3]
[80]

[81]
In Formulas 2 and 3, X is a unit derived from a carboxylic acid, and Y is a unit derived from a polyol. The polyol-derived unit may be, for example, a triol unit or a diol unit. In addition, n and m may be any number, for example, n is a number within the range of 2 to 10, m is a number within the range of 1 to 10, and R 1 and R 2 are each independently 1 to 14 carbon atoms. It may be an alkylene within the range of.
[82]
As used herein, the term “carboxylic acid-derived unit” may refer to a portion excluding a carboxyl group in a carboxylic acid compound. Similarly, as used herein, the term "polyol-derived unit" may refer to a portion of the polyol compound structure excluding a hydroxyl group.
[83]
That is, when the hydroxyl group of the polyol and the carboxyl group of the carboxylic acid react, water (H 2 O) molecules are desorbed by the condensation reaction to form an ester bond. As such, when the carboxylic acid forms an ester bond through the condensation reaction, the carboxylic acid-derived unit may mean a portion of the carboxylic acid structure that does not participate in the condensation reaction. In addition, the polyol-derived unit may refer to a portion of the polyol structure that does not participate in the condensation reaction.
[84]
Y in Formula 3 also represents a portion excluding the ester bond after the polyol forms an ester bond with caprolactone. That is, in Formula 3, the polyol-derived unit, Y, may mean a portion of the polyol structure that does not participate in the ester bond when the polyol and caprolactone form an ester bond. The ester bonds are shown in formulas 2 and 3, respectively.
[85]
When the polyol-derived unit of Y in the formula is a unit derived from a polyol including three or more hydroxyl groups, such as a triol unit, a branched structure may be implemented in the Y portion in the formula structure.
[86]
In Formula 2, the type of the carboxylic acid-derived unit of X is not particularly limited, but in order to secure desired physical properties, a fatty acid compound, an aromatic compound having two or more carboxyl groups, an alicyclic compound having two or more carboxyl groups, and two It may be a unit derived from at least one compound selected from the group consisting of aliphatic compounds having at least one carboxyl group.
[87]
The aromatic compound having two or more carboxyl groups may be, for example, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, trimellitic acid or tetrachlorophthalic acid.
[88]
The alicyclic compound having two or more carboxyl groups may be, for example, tetrahydrophthalic acid or hexahydrophthalic acid.
[89]
The aliphatic compound having two or more carboxyl groups is, for example, oxalic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, malonic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, 2,2-dimethylsuccinic acid, 3,3-dimethylglutaric acid, 2,2-dimethylglutaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid or itaconic acid.
[90]
Considering the glass transition temperature of the polyol, an aliphatic carboxylic acid-derived unit may be preferable rather than an aromatic carboxylic acid-derived unit.
[91]
In Formulas 2 and 3, the type of the polyol-derived unit of Y is not particularly limited, but in order to secure desired physical properties, it is selected from the group consisting of an alicyclic compound having two or more hydroxyl groups and an aliphatic compound having two or more hydroxyl groups. It may be derived from one or more compounds.
[92]
The alicyclic compound having two or more hydroxyl groups may be, for example, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol.
[93]

[94]
In Formula 2, n is an arbitrary number, and the range may be selected in consideration of desired physical properties of the curable composition or a resin layer that is a cured product thereof. For example, n can be about 2 to 10 or 2 to 5.
[95]
In Formula 3, m is an arbitrary number, and the range may be selected in consideration of desired physical properties of the curable composition or a resin layer that is a cured product thereof. For example, m may be about 1 to 10 or 1 to 5.
[96]
When n and m in Chemical Formulas 2 and 3 are out of the above ranges, the crystallinity of the polyol may become stronger and adversely affect the injection processability of the composition.
[97]
In Formula 3, R 1 and R 2 are each independently alkylene having 1 to 14 carbon atoms. The number of carbon atoms may be selected in consideration of desired physical properties of the curable composition or a resin layer that is a cured product thereof.
[98]
As a reaction inhibitor contained in a curable composition, the compound which has a reaction inhibitory functional group can be used. The term reaction inhibitory functional group means a functional group capable of delaying or inhibiting the reaction of the main resin and the curing agent, for example, exhibiting a higher reactivity with the curing agent compared to the main resin, or with the main resin compared to the curing agent It may mean a functional group exhibiting higher reactivity. The type of the reaction-inhibiting functional group is determined depending on the type of the main resin and/or the curing agent. For example, when the main resin is a polyol and the curing agent is an isocyanate compound, the reaction inhibiting functional group may be a mercapto group, an amino group, and/or a phenolic hydroxyl group. Such a functional group exhibits a higher reactivity with respect to the isocyanate compound compared to the polyol, and thus a desired waiting time may be secured.
[99]
In one example, as the reaction inhibitor, a compound having a reaction inhibitory functional value in the range of 0.001 to 0.02 according to Formula 2 may be used.
[100]
[Equation 2]
[101]

[102]
In Formula 2, FV is the reaction inhibitory functional group, F is the number (number of moles) of reaction inhibitory functional groups present in the reaction inhibitor, and M is the molar mass of the reaction inhibitor.

[106]
As a suitable reaction inhibitor, a compound having a mercapto group among the functional groups may be used, for example, a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1 may be used. In particular, a compound having the above functional group and/or molar mass among the compounds of Formula 1 may be used.
[107]
[Formula 1]
[108]

[109]
In Formula 1, R 1 may represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aromatic hydrocarbon group, or -Si(R 3 ) 3 . In the above, R 3 may be each independently an alkyl group or an alkoxy group. In Formula 1, R 2 may be a single bond or an alkylene group.

[111]
In Formula 1, the aromatic hydrocarbon group means an aryl group or a heteroaryl group. In one embodiment, the aryl group may be a phenyl group, a biphenyl group, a naphthyl group, an anthracenyl group, a phenanthryl group, a pyrenyl group, a phenylenyl group, a chrysenyl group, or a fluorenyl group, but is not limited thereto.

A single bond in Formula 1 refers to a case in which atomic groups on both sides are directly bonded without a separate atom as a mediator.
[113]
The alkyl group, alkoxy group, alkylene group, or aromatic hydrocarbon group of Formula 1 may be optionally substituted with one or more substituents. In this case, the substituent may include, but is not limited to, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aromatic hydrocarbon group, or a mercapto group.
[114]
As another example, in Formula 1, R 1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an unsubstituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; an aromatic hydrocarbon group unsubstituted or substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; Or represents -Si(R 3 ) 3 , wherein R 3 may each independently be an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Meanwhile, in Formula 1, R 2 is a single bond; It may be an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or an alkylene group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms.
[115]
In one example, the compound represented by Formula 1 may have only one mercapto group as the reaction inhibitory functional group. Therefore, in Formula 1, R 1 and R 2 may not include a mercapto group (-SH) and other reaction-inhibiting functional groups.
[116]
The content of the reaction inhibitor in the curable composition may be controlled in a range suitable for securing a desired curing rate and the like. In one example, the reaction inhibitor may be present in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.5 parts by weight within 100 parts by weight of the curable composition. A total of 100 parts by weight of the curable composition is in the range defined by excluding the weight of the component to be removed when the curable composition includes a component that is finally removed such as a solvent. In addition, the total 100 parts by weight is a range defined based on the weight of the composition when the curable composition is a one-component type, and in the case of a two-component type, the weight of the main composition, the weight of the curing agent composition, or the sum of the main agent and the curing agent composition It is a range obtained based on the weight.
[117]

[118]
In another example, the reaction inhibitor may be adjusted so that the weight ratio (IW/CW) of the content (CW) of the catalyst and the content (IW) of the reaction inhibitor in the curable composition is in the range of 1.3 to 4. In this range, it is possible to more effectively secure the desired waiting time and curing speed after the elapse of the waiting time.
[119]
The content IW and CW are the same unit and may be an absolute weight of the catalyst and reaction inhibitor included in the curable composition, or may be parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyol. As another example, the ratio (IW/CW) is in the range of about 1.35 or more, 1.4 or more, 1.45 or more, 1.50 or more, about 1.55 or more, 2 or more, 2.5 or more, or 3 or more and/or about 3.8 or less, about 3.6 or less, It may be further adjusted within the range of about 3.4 or less, about 3.2 or less, about 3 or less, about 2.98 or less, 2.96 or less, about 2.94 or less, about 2.5 or less, or about 2 or less.
[120]
By adjusting the ratio (IW/CW), it is possible to control the waiting time and/or the curing speed after the elapse of the waiting time.
[121]
In another example, the content of the reaction inhibitor in the curable composition may be adjusted in the range where R1 of the following formula 3 is in the range of 2 to 30.
[122]
[Equation 3]
[123]
R1 = (W1×O/M)-(FV×W2)
[124]
In Formula 3, O is the hydroxyl value of the polyol, M is the weight average molecular weight of the polyol, FV is the reaction inhibitory functional group of the reaction inhibitor (FV obtained by Formula 2), W1 is the polyol It is a weight ratio relative to the reaction inhibitor, and W2 is the weight ratio of the reaction inhibitor to the polyol. For example, according to Equation 3, the weight ratio (polyol:reaction inhibitor) of the polyol and the reaction inhibitor in the curable composition is W1:W2.
[125]
In the case where two or more polyols and/or two or more reaction inhibitors of the curable composition are present, the above formula 2 is confirmed by summing the calculated W10/M and FVW2 for each. For example, in the curable composition, a first polyol having a hydroxyl value of O1 and a weight average molecular weight of M1, a second polyol having a hydroxyl value of O2 and a weight average molecular weight of M2, and a first reaction inhibitor having a reaction inhibitory functional value of FV1; If the second inhibitor having a reaction inhibitory functional group of FV2 is present in a weight ratio of W 11 :W 12 :W 21 :W 22 (first polyol: second polyol: first inhibitor: second inhibitor), W 11× O1/M1+W 12× O2/M2 becomes W1×O/M in Equation 2, and FV1×W 21 + FV2×W 22 becomes FV×W2 in Equation 3 above.
[126]
In another example, R1 is in the range of 2.5 or more, 3 or more, 3.5 or more, 4 or more, 4.5 or more, 5 or more, 5.5 or more, 6 or more, or 6.5 or more and/or 29 or less, 28 or less, 27 or less, 26 or less, 25 or more. or less, 24 or less, 23 or less, 22 or less, 21 or less, 20 or less, 19 or less, 18 or less, 17 or less, 16 or less, 15 or less, 14 or less, 13 or less, 12 or less, 11 or less, 10 or less, 9 or less, It may be further adjusted within the range of 8 or less or 7 or less.
[127]
A desired waiting time can be secured within the range of R1, and a desired curing speed can be efficiently secured after the waiting time.
[128]
The type of catalyst included in the curable composition is also not particularly limited, and a known catalyst for the reaction of the polyol and its curing agent may be used. As such a catalyst, various types are known, for example as a urethane catalyst. Examples thereof include a tertiary amine compound, an aprotic salt or an organometallic compound, and in a suitable example, an organotin-based catalyst such as dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) may be used, but this It is not limited.
[129]
The content of the catalyst in the curable composition may be controlled in a range suitable for securing a desired curing rate and the like. In one example, the catalyst may be present in an amount of about 0.01 to 0.1 parts by weight within 100 parts by weight of the curable composition. A total of 100 parts by weight of the curable composition is in the range defined by excluding the weight of the component to be removed when the curable composition includes a component to be finally removed such as a solvent. In addition, the total 100 parts by weight is a range defined based on the weight of the composition when the curable composition is a one-component type, and in the case of a two-component type, the weight of the main composition, the weight of the curing agent composition, or the sum of the main agent and the curing agent composition It is a range obtained based on the weight. In another example, the proportion of the catalyst is in the range of about 0.02 parts by weight or more, 0.03 parts by weight or more, or about 0.04 parts by weight or more, and/or about 0.09 parts by weight or less, 0.08 parts by weight or less, or about 0.07 parts by weight or less. can be adjusted with
[130]
In order to obtain an appropriate effect, the content of the catalyst may be further adjusted within a range that can satisfy the above ratio (IW/CW).
[131]
The curable composition may contain a filler in order to secure a desired function (eg, thermal conductivity, etc.). In particular, according to the present application, it is possible to effectively achieve a desired waiting time and/or a curing rate after the waiting time has elapsed even under a high filling system in which the filler is included in a very excessive amount. When the curable composition is a two-component type, the filler may be included in the main and curing agent composition of the two-component composition, respectively.
[132]
In one example, the filler may be a thermally conductive filler. The term thermally conductive filler may mean a filler made of a material having a thermal conductivity of about 1 W/mK or more, 5 W/mK or more, 10 W/mK or more, or about 15 W/mK or more. The thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive filler may be about 400 W/mK or less, 350 W/mK or less, or about 300 W/mK or less. The type of the thermally conductive filler is not particularly limited, but may be an inorganic filler when considering insulation and the like. For example, ceramic particles such as alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), aluminum nitride, boron nitride, silicon nitride, SiC or BeO may be used.
[133]
The form or ratio of the filler is not particularly limited, and the viscosity, hardness, curing rate of the curable composition, the possibility of sedimentation in the resin layer in which the curable composition is cured, the desired thermal resistance or thermal conductivity, insulation, hardness, It may be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the filling effect, dispersibility or storage stability. In general, as the size of the filler increases, the viscosity of the composition including the same increases, and the possibility that the filler settles in the resin layer to be described later increases. Also, the smaller the size, the higher the thermal resistance tends to be. Therefore, in consideration of the above points, a filler of an appropriate type and size may be selected, and if necessary, two or more types of fillers may be used together. In addition, it is advantageous to use a spherical filler in consideration of the amount to be filled, but a filler in the form of needles or plates may also be used in consideration of network formation or conductivity.
[134]
In one example, the average particle diameter of the filler may be in a range of about 0.001 μm to 80 μm. In another example, the average particle diameter of the filler may be about 0.01 μm or more, 0.1 μm or more, 0.5 μm or more, 1 μm or more, 2 μm or more, 3 μm or more, 4 μm or more, 5 μm or more, or about 6 μm or more. In another example, the average particle diameter of the filler is about 75 µm or less, 70 µm or less, 65 µm or less, 60 µm or less, 55 µm or less, 50 µm or less, 45 µm or less, 40 µm or less, 35 µm or less, 30 µm or less, 25 μm or less, 20 μm or less, 15 μm or less, 10 μm or less, or about 5 μm or less. The average particle diameter of the term filler is a particle diameter also called the so-called D50 particle diameter or median diameter. D50 particle diameter is the particle diameter (median diameter) at 50% of the cumulative volume based on the volume. , which can be measured by a known laser diffraction method. D50 particle size referred to in this specification may be a particle size measured by using Marvern's MASTERSIZER3000 equipment in accordance with ISO-13320 and using Ethanol as a solvent.
[135]
The curable composition may be a highly filled system comprising an excess of the filler. For example, in the curable composition, the filler may be present in a proportion within the range of 70 to 95 parts by weight in 100 parts by weight of the curable composition (ie, in one example, the proportion of the filler in the curable composition is 70 to 95 parts by weight) % or so). A total of 100 parts by weight of the curable composition is in the range defined by excluding the weight of the component to be removed when the curable composition includes a component that is finally removed such as a solvent. In addition, the total 100 parts by weight is a range defined based on the weight of the composition when the curable composition is a one-component type, and in the case of a two-component type, the weight of the main composition, the weight of the curing agent composition, or the sum of the main agent and the curing agent composition It is a range obtained based on the weight. In another example, the content of the filler is in the range of about 74 parts by weight or more, 78 parts by weight or more, 82 parts by weight or more, or about 86 parts by weight or more, and/or 94 parts by weight or less, 93 parts by weight or less, or about 92 parts by weight or less. It can be further adjusted within the range.
[136]
In one example, the content of the filler in the curable composition may be in the range of 70 to 95% by weight, which is about 72% by weight or more, 74% by weight or more, 76% by weight or more, 78% by weight or more, 80% by weight or more, 82 It may be further adjusted within the range of % by weight or more, 84% by weight or more, 86% by weight or more, or 88% by weight or more and/or within the range of 93% by weight or less or 91% by weight or less.
[137]
It is possible to express the desired function of the filler within this filler content range. For example, when the filler is a thermally conductive filler, a cured product satisfying high thermal conductivity (eg, 3.0 W/mK or more) in the content range may be formed.
[138]
In the curable composition, various types of fillers may be used in addition to the above-mentioned types. For example, when the insulating properties of the cured resin layer of the curable composition are secured, the use of a carbon filler such as graphite may be considered. Alternatively, fillers such as , for example, fumed silica, clay, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide (ZnO) or aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) 3 ) may also be used. The form or content ratio of these fillers is not particularly limited, and may be selected in consideration of the viscosity of the curable composition, curing rate, possibility of sedimentation in the resin layer, thixotropy, insulation, filling effect and/or dispersibility, and the like.
[139]
The curable composition may further comprise a curing agent, if necessary. In the two-component composition, the curing agent may be included in the curable composition in a state physically separated from the polyol as the main resin. For example, when the curable composition is a two-component composition, the curable composition may include the polyol, reaction inhibitor, catalyst, and filler in the main composition, and the curing agent may be included in the curing agent composition. The curing agent composition may also include the filler together with the curing agent.
[140]
As the curing agent, a known curing agent may be used without particular limitation, for example, an isocyanate compound commonly used as a curing agent for polyols in a urethane composition may be used. The type of the isocyanate compound that can be applied as the curing agent is not particularly limited, but a non-aromatic isocyanate compound that does not contain an aromatic group may be used to secure desired physical properties. When an aromatic polyisocyanate is used, the reaction rate is too fast and the glass transition temperature of the cured product may be high, so it may be disadvantageous in securing the curing rate after the aforementioned waiting time and/or waiting time, and curing of the curable composition to be described later It may be difficult for the resin layer, which is water, to satisfy physical properties such as electrical insulation and adhesion.
[141]
Examples of the non-aromatic isocyanate compound include aliphatic polyisocyanates such as hexamethylene diisocyanate, trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate, norbornane diisocyanate methyl, ethylene diisocyanate, propylene diisocyanate or tetramethylene diisocyanate. ; alicyclic polyisocyanates such as transcyclohexane-1,4-diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, bis(isocyanatemethyl)cyclohexane diisocyanate or dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate; Or any one or more of the above-mentioned carbodiimide-modified polyisocyanate or isocyanurate-modified polyisocyanate; etc. may be used. Also, mixtures of two or more of the compounds listed above may be used.
[142]
In one example, as the isocyanate compound, a compound having an isocyanate value represented by the following Formula 4 in the range of 0.001 to 0.1 may be used.
[143]
Such a compound is effective in securing the curing speed after the aforementioned waiting time and/or waiting time.
[144]
[Equation 4]
[145]
NCOV = NCO/MN
[146]
In Formula 4, NCOV is the isocyanate, NCO is the number (number of moles) of isocyanate groups of the isocyanate compound, and MN is the molar mass of the isocyanate compound.
[147]
The isocyanate number is, in another example, 0.003 or more, 0.005 or more, 0.007 or more, 0.009 or more, or 0.01 or more, and/or 0.09 or less, 0.08 or less, 0.07 or less, 0.06 or less, 0.05 or less, 0.04 or less, 0.03 or less, 0.02 or less, or It may be further adjusted within the range of 0.015 or less.
[148]
The molar mass (MN) of the isocyanate compound in Formula 4 may be, for example, in the range of 60 to 300 g/mol. The molar mass (MN) is, in another example, 70 g / mol or more, 80 g / mol or more, 90 g / mol or more, 100 g / mol or more, 110 g / mol or more, 120 g / mol or more, 130 g / mol or more, 140 g / mol or more , 150 g/mol or more or 160 g/mol or more and/or 290 g/mol or less, 280 g/mol or less, 270 g/mol or less, 260 g/mol or less, 250 g/mol or less, 240 g/mol or less, 230 g/mol or less Below, 220 g/mol or less, 210 g/mol or less, 200 g/mol or less, 190 g/mol or less, 180 g/mol or less, 170 g/mol or less may be further adjusted.
[149]
The resin component (eg, the polyol, the isocyanate compound, and/or a reactant therebetween) included in the curable composition may have a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than 0° C. after curing. When the glass transition temperature range is satisfied, brittle characteristics can be secured in a relatively short time even at a low temperature at which a battery module or a battery pack can be used, and accordingly, impact resistance or vibration resistance is guaranteed. can In one example, the lower limit of the glass transition temperature of the curable composition after curing may be about -70°C or more, -60°C or more, -50°C or more, -40°C or more, or about -30°C or more, and the upper limit is about −5° C. or less, −10° C. or less, −15° C. or less, or about −20° C. or less.
[150]
The ratio of the polyol and the isocyanate compound in the curable composition is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately adjusted so that a urethane reaction between them is possible. For example, the ratio of the polyol and the isocyanate compound may be in an equivalent ratio of 1.0:1.1 to 1.0:2.0 (polyol:isocyanate compound).
[151]
In another example, the isocyanate compound may be present in the curable composition present such that R2 of the following formula 5 is in the range of 10 to 150.
[152]
[Equation 5]
[153]
R2 = (W1×O/M)/(NCOV×W3)
[154]
In Formula 5, O is the hydroxyl value of the polyol, and NCOV is the isocyanate value of the isocyanate compound. In Formula 5, W1 is a weight ratio of the polyol to the isocyanate compound, and W3 is a weight ratio of the isocyanate compound to the polyol. That is, the weight ratio of the polyol and the isocyanate compound (polyol:isocyanate compound) in the curable composition is W1:W3.
[155]
When two or more polyols and/or two or more isocyanate compounds of the curable composition are present, the above formula 5 is confirmed by summing the calculated W1×O/M and NCOV×W3 for each. For example, in the curable composition, a first polyol having a hydroxyl value of O1 and a weight average molecular weight of M1, a second polyol having a hydroxyl value of O2 and a weight average molecular weight of M2, and a first isocyanate compound having an isocyanate value (NCO value) of NCOV1 and the second isocyanate compound having an isocyanate valency of NCOV2 is present in a weight ratio of W 11 :W 12 :W 31 :W 32 (first polyol: second polyol: first isocyanate compound: second isocyanate compound), then W 11 × O1/M1+W 12 × O2/M2 becomes W1 × O/M in Equation 5, and NCOV1 × W 31 + NCOV2 × W 32 becomes NCOV × W2 in Equation 5 above.
[156]
In another example, R2 is 15 or more, 20 or more, 25 or more, 30 or more, 35 or more, 40 or more, 45 or more, 50 or more, 55 or more, 60 or more, or 65 or more and/or 140 or less, 130 or less, 120 or more. It may be further adjusted within the range of less than, 110 or less, 100 or less, 95 or more, 90 or less, 85 or less, 80 or less, 75 or less, 70 or less, 65 or less, or 60 or less.
[157]
In another example, the isocyanate compound may be present in the curable composition present such that R3 of the following formula 6 is in the range of 50 to 500.
[158]
[Equation 6]
[159]
R3 = (FV×W2)/(NCOV×W3)
[160]
In Formula 6, FV is the reaction inhibitory functional group of the reaction inhibitor, and NCOV is the isocyanate number of the isocyanate compound. In Formula 6, W2 is a weight ratio of the reaction inhibitor to the isocyanate compound, and W3 is a weight ratio of the isocyanate compound to the reaction inhibitor. That is, the weight ratio (reaction inhibitor:isocyanate compound) of the reaction inhibitor to the isocyanate compound in the curable composition is W2:W3.
[161]
When two or more inhibitors and/or two or more isocyanate compounds of the curable composition are present, the above formula 6 is confirmed by summing the calculated FV×W2 and NCOV×W3 for each. For example, in the curable composition, a first reaction inhibitor having a reaction inhibitory functional value of FV1, a second reaction inhibitor having a reaction inhibitory functional value of FV2, a first isocyanate compound having an isocyanate value (NCO value) of NCOV1, and an isocyanate number If the second isocyanate compound, which is NCOV2, is present in a weight ratio of W 21 :W 22 :W 31 :W 32 (first inhibitor: second inhibitor: first isocyanate compound: second isocyanate compound), then W 21× FV1+ W 22× FV2 becomes FV×W2 of Equation 6, and NCOV1×W 31 + NCOV2×W 32 becomes NCOV×W2 of Equation 6 above.
[162]
In another example, R3 is 55 or more, 60 or more, 65 or more, 70 or more, 75 or more, 80 or more, 85 or more, 90 or more, 95 or more, 100 or more, 110 or more, 120 or more, 130 or more, 140 or more, 150 or more. , 160 or more, 170 or more, 180 or more, 190 or more, or 200 or more and/or 490 or less, 480 or less, 470 or less, 460 or less, 450 or less, 440 or less, 430 or less, 420 or less, 410 or less, 400 or less, 390 or less, 380 or less, 370 or less, 360 or less, 350 or less, 340 or less, 330 or less, 320 or less, 310 or less, 300 or less, 290 or less, 280 or less, 270 or less, 260 or less, 250 or less, 240 or less, 230 or less , 220 or less, 210 or less, 200 or less, 190 or less, 180 or less, 170 or less, 160 or less, 150 or less, 140 or less, 130 or less, 120 or less, 110 or less, or 100 or less.
[163]
A desired waiting time may be secured within the range of R2 and/or R3, and a desired curing rate may be efficiently secured after the waiting time.
[164]
By adjusting the ratio of the isocyanate compound according to the above, it is advantageous to satisfy the desired curing properties (waiting time and/or curing rate after the lapse of waiting time).
[165]
The curable composition may further include necessary appropriate components in addition to the above components.
[166]
For example, the curable composition may contain a viscosity modifier, for example, a thixotropic agent, a diluent, a dispersant, a surface treatment agent, for controlling the required viscosity, for example, increasing or lowering the viscosity or adjusting the viscosity according to a shear force. Or a coupling agent, etc. may be further included.
[167]
The thixotropy imparting agent may adjust the viscosity according to the shear force of the curable composition so that the manufacturing process of the battery module may be effectively performed. As the thixotropic agent that can be used, fumed silica and the like can be exemplified.
[168]
Diluents or dispersants are generally used to lower the viscosity of the curable composition, and various types known in the art may be used without limitation as long as they can exhibit the above action.
[169]
The surface treatment agent is for surface treatment of the filler introduced into the resin layer, and various types known in the art may be used without limitation as long as it can exhibit the above-described action.
[170]
In the case of the coupling agent, for example, it may be used to improve the dispersibility of the thermally conductive filler such as alumina, and if it can exhibit the above action, various types of known in the art may be used without limitation.
[171]
In addition, the curable composition may further include a flame retardant or a flame retardant auxiliary agent. In this case, a known flame retardant may be used without any particular limitation, for example, a flame retardant in the form of a solid filler or a liquid flame retardant may be applied. Examples of the flame retardant include organic flame retardants such as melamine cyanurate and inorganic flame retardants such as magnesium hydroxide. When the amount of filler filled in the resin layer is large, a liquid type flame retardant material (TEP, Triethyl phosphate or TCPP, tris(1,3-chloro-2-propyl)phosphate, etc.) may be used. It is also possible to add a silane coupling agent which can act as a flame retardant synergist.
[172]
The curable composition may include the composition as described above, and may be a solvent-based composition, an aqueous composition, or a solvent-free composition.
[173]
The curable composition may exhibit desired suitable physical properties by including the components as described above.
[174]
This application may also relate to a battery module. The battery module may include a module case having an inner space and a plurality of battery cells existing in the inner space. The battery cell may be accommodated in the module case. One or more battery cells may exist in the module case, and a plurality of battery cells may be accommodated in the module case. The number of battery cells accommodated in the module case is not particularly limited as it is adjusted according to the use or the like. The battery cells accommodated in the module case may be electrically connected to each other.
[175]
The battery module may include a resin layer that is a cured product of the curable composition. The resin layer may be in contact with the plurality of battery cells and may exist in the inner space of the module case in a state in contact with the module case.
[176]
For example, the battery module may be produced by injecting the above-described curable composition into the battery module and inspecting the battery module into which the curable composition is injected. In the above process, the battery cell may be mounted into the battery module case before the curable composition is injected into the battery module, or may be mounted into the battery module case after the curable composition is injected into the battery module.
[177]
The module case may include at least a side wall and a lower plate forming an internal space in which the battery cell can be accommodated. In addition, the module case may further include an upper plate for sealing the inner space. The side wall, the lower plate, and the upper plate may be integrally formed with each other, or the module case may be formed by assembling the separate side walls, the lower plate, and/or the upper plate, respectively. The shape and size of the module case are not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected depending on the purpose or the shape and number of battery cells accommodated in the internal space.
[178]
In the above, the terms upper plate and lower plate are terms of a relative concept used to distinguish between at least two plates constituting the module case. That is, it does not mean that the upper plate necessarily exists in the upper part and the lower plate necessarily exists in the lower part in an actual use state.
[179]
2 is a view showing an exemplary module case 10, and is an example of a box-shaped case 10 including one lower plate 10a and four side walls 10b. The module case 10 may further include an upper plate 10c for sealing the inner space.
[180]
3 is a schematic view of the module case 10 of FIG. 2 in which the battery cell 20 is housed, as viewed from above.
[181]
A hole may be formed in the lower plate, the side wall, and/or the upper plate of the module case. The hole may be an injection hole used to inject a material for forming the resin layer, that is, the above-described curable composition, when the resin layer is formed by an injection process. The shape, number, and position of the holes may be adjusted in consideration of injection efficiency of the resin layer forming material. In one example, the hole may be formed in at least the lower plate and/or the upper plate.
[182]
An observation hole may be formed at the ends of the upper plate and the lower plate in which the injection hole is formed. This observation hole, for example, when injecting the resin layer material through the injection hole, may be formed to observe whether the injected material is well injected to the end of the side wall, the lower plate or the upper plate. The position, shape, size, and number of the observation holes are not particularly limited as long as they are formed so as to confirm whether the injected material is properly injected.
[183]
The module case may be a thermally conductive case. The term thermally conductive case refers to a case having an overall thermal conductivity of 10 W/mk or more, or at least including a portion having the above-described thermal conductivity. For example, at least one of the aforementioned sidewall, lower plate, and upper plate may have the aforementioned thermal conductivity. In another example, at least one of the side wall, the lower plate, and the upper plate may include a portion having the thermal conductivity.
[184]

The higher the thermal conductivity, the more advantageous in terms of heat dissipation characteristics of the module, and the upper limit thereof is not particularly limited. In one example, the thermal conductivity is about 1,000 W/mK or less, 900 W/mk or less, 800 W/mk or less, 700 W/mk or less, 600 W/mk or less, 500 W/mk or less, 400 W/mk or less, 300 W/mk or about 250 W/mK or less, but is not limited thereto. The type of material exhibiting the above-described thermal conductivity is not particularly limited, and for example, a metal material such as aluminum, gold, silver, tungsten, copper, nickel or platinum may be used. The module case may be entirely made of the thermally conductive material as described above, or at least a portion of the module case may be a region made of the thermally conductive material. Accordingly, the module case may have thermal conductivity within the above-mentioned range, or may include at least one portion having the above-mentioned thermal conductivity.
[185]
In the module case, a portion having thermal conductivity within the above range may be a portion in contact with the resin layer and/or the insulating layer. In addition, the portion having the thermal conductivity may be a portion in contact with a cooling medium such as cooling water. In the case of having such a structure, heat generated from the battery cell can be effectively dissipated to the outside.
[186]
In the present application, the term battery cell means a unit secondary battery. The type of the battery cell is not particularly limited, and all known various battery cells may be applied. In one example, the battery cell may be in a pouch shape, a cylindrical shape, a prismatic shape, or any other shape.

In the battery pack, the battery modules may be electrically connected to each other. A method of configuring a battery pack by electrically connecting two or more battery modules is not particularly limited, and any known method may be applied.
[189]
The present application also relates to a device comprising the battery module or the battery pack. Examples of the device include, but are not limited to, a vehicle such as an electric vehicle, and may include any application requiring a secondary battery as an output. For example, a method of configuring the vehicle using the battery pack is not particularly limited, and a general method may be applied.

Modes for carrying out the invention
[195]
Hereinafter, the present application will be specifically described through Examples and Comparative Examples, but the scope of the present application is not limited by the following Examples.
[196]
[197]
1. Viscosity
[198]
The viscosity of the curable composition (the subject composition, the curing agent composition or a mixture thereof) was measured using a Brookfield HB type viscometer. The temperature was maintained at about 25 °C during the viscosity measurement. Using the viscometer, the viscosity of the curable composition was measured over time at a torque of about 90% and a shear rate of about 100 rpm.
[199]
[200]
2. Hardness
[201]
The hardness of the curable composition was measured using an ASKER (durometer hardness) according to ASTM D 2240 standard. Hardness was measured over time in the thickness direction while maintaining the curable composition in the form of a film having a thickness of about 4 mm and maintaining the temperature at about 25 °C. The initial hardness was measured by applying a load of 1 Kg or more (about 1.5 Kg) to the surface of the sample in the form of a film, and the hardness (Shore A hardness) was evaluated by confirming the measured value stabilized after 15 seconds.
[202]
[203]
3. Load value (Li, Lf)
[204]
The load value (kgf) of the curable composition was measured using a measuring device 1 in which two cartridges 2a and 2b and one static mixer 5 were connected as shown in FIG. 1 .
[205]
The cartridges 2a and 2b in the measuring device 1 have a circular injection part having a diameter of 18 mm and a circular discharge part 4, 4a, 4b having a diameter of 3 mm, and the cartridges 2a, 2b having a height of 100 mm and an internal volume of 25 ml (Sulzer, AB050-01-10-01) was used. In the measuring device (1), the stacktic mixer (5) has a circular discharge part (7) having a diameter of 2 mm, a stepped type, and a mixer (5) having 16 elements (Sulzer, MBH-06-16T) was used. As the pressurizing means 3, 3a, 3b in the measuring device, a TA (Texture Analyzer) was used.
[206]
The main composition of the two-component curable composition is filled in any one of the two cartridges (2a, 2b), and after the curing agent composition is filled in the other cartridge, a constant force is applied with the pressing means (3, 3a, 3b), And load values ​​(Li, Lf) were measured while allowing the curing agent composition to be discharged to the second discharge unit 7 after being mixed in the static mixer 5 via the first discharge units 4a and 4b, respectively.
[207]
The load value Li is, after loading the main agent and the curing agent composition into the two cartridges (2a, 2b), respectively, and pressing with a TA (Texture analyzer) (3a, 3b) at a constant speed of about 1 mm / s, the composition is stacked The force applied to the pressing means is measured from the time it is first discharged after being mixed in the mixer 5, and it is the maximum value at the point where the force becomes the maximum value.
[208]
The load value Lf was measured in a manner similar to the load value Li. That is, the load value Lf is, after loading the main agent and the curing agent composition into the two cartridges (2a, 2b), respectively, pressurized with a TA (Texture analyzer) (3a, 3b) at a constant speed of about 1 mm / s, the composition is The force applied to the pressing means is measured from the time it is first discharged after mixing in the static mixer 5, and it is the maximum value at the point where the force becomes the maximum value. However, when measuring Li, the pressurization means was applied without interruption until the maximum value was measured, but when measuring Lf, the pressure by the pressurizing means was applied at the time when the main agent and the curing agent composition were mixed inside the mixer 5 . After stopping and proceeding with the curing reaction inside the mixer 5 for about 30 minutes, the maximum value was measured while pressurizing again at a constant speed (1 mm/s), and the maximum value was set as Lf.
