Curable composition, cured product, method for using curable composition, photoelement sealing body and method for producing photoelement sealing body

Abstract

The present invention relates to: a curable composition comprising a component (A), a component (B), and a component (C), the curable composition comprising the component (A) and the component (B) in a mass ratio (component (A):component (B)) of 100:0.3 to 100:30, a cured product obtained by curing the curable composition, a method for using the curable composition as an optical device-securing adhesive or an optical device sealing material. The present invention provides a curable composition that produces a cured product that exhibits excellent transparency, excellent heat resistance, excellent crack resistance, and high adhesion, a cured product obtained by curing the curable composition, a method for using the curable composition as an optical device-securing adhesive or an optical device sealing material, a sealed optical device in which an optical device is sealed with a cured product of the curable composition, and a method for producing the same. Component (A): a silane compound copolymer (I) that is represented by a formula (a-1), wherein Ris a hydrogen atom or the like, Xis a halogen atom, a cyano group, or a group represented by OG (wherein G is a protecting group for a hydroxyl group), D is a single bond or the like, Ris an alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms or the like, Z is a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group having 1-10 carbon atoms, or a halogen atom, m and n are a positive integer, and o, p, q, and r are 0 or a positive integer, Component (B): at least one silane coupling agent selected from a silane coupling agent that includes a nitrogen atom in its molecule and a silane coupling agent that includes an epoxy group in its molecule, and Component (C): a silane coupling agent that has an acid anhydride structure.(CHRX-D-SiO)(RSiO)(CHRX-D-SiZO)(RSiZO)(CHRX-D-SiZO)(RSiZO)   (a-1)
