Styrene/acrylonitrile copolymers containing a plasticizing quantity of an aromatic triester.
Description
AROM~TIC TRIESTER PLASTICIZED COPOLYMERS OF
ACRYLONITRILE AND STYRENE
This invention relates to new, resinous compositions having a high degree of transparency, good color retention properties and unusual adaptability to injection molding techniques. More specifically the invention relates to copolymers of styrene and acrylonitrile suitably plasticized to result in compositions havlng good melt flow without sacrificing any of the desirable properties of the copolymer.
Copolymers of styrene and acrylonitrile, and methods for their preparation are well knowrl in the art.
The copolymers possess good resistance to organic solvents and are highly transparent. However, in some applications it is desirable to provide improved, i.e., increased melt flow properties in order to produce faster cycle tirnes and other molding improvements. This is accomplished by use of a plasticizer. For example, it is well known in the art to use epoxidized soybean oil as a suitable plasticizer for styreneJacrylonitrile copolymers. Disadvantageously, however, resins containing epoxidized soybean oil have a tendency to -2- 2 ~
discolor, especially when exposed to elevated temperatures for extended time periods.
In addition, molders of complex and intricately shaped objects of styrene/acrylonitrile resins often must employ very high molding temperatures in order to provide improved resin melt Plow. Previously known plasticizers such as alkyl phthalates have failed in such severe environments due to "sweating" or deposition of the plasticizer onto the mold surfaces.
The primary purpose of this invention is to provide methods of improving the melt flow rate and other properties of copolymers of acrylonitrile and styrene. ~ further purpose of this invention is to provide a means of plasticizing copolymers of acrylonitrile and styrene without sacrifice of the desirable transparency or color properties of the copolymer. A further purpose of the invention is to prepare a new and more useful composition of matter that may be utilized at extremes of temperature without encountering problems of "sweat out", i.e., loss of plasticizer and condensation thereof on cool surfaces of molding equipment or injection molded parts.
It has been found that triesters of aromatic tricarboxylic acids, especially trimellitlc acid, wherein the ester group contains an alkyl or aryl radical of up to 20 carbon atoms, are unusually compatible with copolymers of styrene and acrylonitrile, and effectively improve the melt flow properties of the molten polymer without loss of crystalline polymer properties. In particuiar such polymers demonstrate little discoloration or plasticizer sweat out.
_3~ J$
The invention is preferably used in copolymerY
of 65 to 80 weight percent styrene and 20 to 35 weight per-cent acryionitriie. An elastomeric impact modifier such as a butadiene based rubber, copolymers of ethylene and propylene and optionally a nonconjugated diene, and alkyl acrylate rubbers may be present in the copolymers as well. Suitable amounts of impact modifier are from 1-20~ preferably 5-15 percent by weight. The copolymer may be prepared by emulsion, mass, solution or suspension polymerization methods.
The preferred plasticizers for the practice of this invention are the acid triesters having the structural formulao Ar(C(O)OR)3 wherein Ar is an aromatic radical of up to 20 carbons, and R is an alkyl or aryl radical having up to 20 carbon atoms. Preferred triesters are linear C6_20 alkyl triesters of trimellitic acid. Particularly preferred esters are tridecyl trimellitate9 tridodecyl trimellitate, tri--n-octyl trimellitate, mixed C8~0 linear alkyl trimellitates, etc. The straight chain or linear alkyl triesters are particularly preferred due to the improved color stability. Additive di~coloration upon prolonged heating is believed to be due to the greater instability of tertiary hydrogen proton compared to a secondary hydrogen moiety.
3o The plasticized copolymers are prepared by mixing the desired plasticizer and copolymer in any of the conventional mixing ~achines, for example, roll mills, Banbury type mixers, extruders~ etc., which may be heated to soften the copolymers. The plzsticizer may 4 ~ 3 ~ ~1 also be coated onto the surface of polymer granules to be later melted and incorporated into the polymer or incorporated into the polymerization mixture and thus into the polymer prior to devolitalization and granulation. The quantity of plasticizer used will depend upon the ultimate use of the composition. A
plasticizing amount of the aromatic acid tri~ster, i.e., sufficient amount to improve the polymer's properties, is employed. Preferred amounts of plasticizer are from 0.1 to 5 percent, more preferable 0.5 to 2.5 percent by weight. The optimum proportion of triester may readil~
be determined by preparing test samples and measuring the melt flow rate enhancement, rheology, and other desired physical properties of the resulting resin.
The new compositions are unusually valuable for making injection molded articles which are of high clarity with improved molding properties. Compared to the use of epoxidized soybean oil (ESB0) plasticizers, the present invention results in improved melt flow rates and less discoloration of the resulting copolymer when exposed to high temperatures~ When compared to phthalate or terephthalate diester plasticizers, mold sweating is substantially improved and a modest improvement in flexural strength is noticed. These resu:Lts are not expected or predicted from known teachings.
