Description

Biaxially oriented film
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a thin biaxially oriented film having excellent dimensional stability against humidity change. More specifically, the present invention relates to a thin biaxially oriented film having excellent withstand voltage characteristics. Further, the present invention relates to a biaxially oriented film suitable for use as a base film for magnetic recording media and thin film capacitors.
Background
Polyester films have excellent thermal and mechanical properties, and therefore are used in various applications such as magnetic recording media, capacitors, flexible substrates, optical members, food packaging, and decoration.
In magnetic recording media, particularly magnetic recording media for storing data, the requirements for the properties of the base film have become more stringent as the capacity and density of the magnetic tape have become higher. Magnetic recording media for storing data using a linear track system, such as QIC, DLT, and super DLT and LTO with high capacity, have a very narrow track pitch in order to achieve high capacity of data. Therefore, when a dimensional change occurs in the width direction of the tape, a track skew is caused, and there is a problem that an error occurs. These dimensional changes include dimensional changes due to changes in temperature and humidity, and dimensional changes due to shrinkage in the width direction over time that occurs when the device is repeatedly operated under high tension in a high-temperature and high-humidity state. When the dimensional change is large, a track skew is caused, and an error in electromagnetic switching occurs. For convenience of explanation, the direction of travel in the continuous production of a film is sometimes referred to as the film-forming direction, continuous film-forming direction, longitudinal direction, or MD direction, and the in-plane direction of the film orthogonal to the film-forming direction is sometimes referred to as the transverse direction or width direction.
In order to solve such dimensional changes, Japanese unexamined patent publication Hei 5-212787 discloses a biaxially oriented polyethylene-2, 6-naphthalate film having a Young's modulus in the machine direction (EM), a Young's modulus in the transverse direction (ET), and a ratio of the Young's moduli (ET/EM) defined within a specific range, and having a shrinkage ratio in the machine direction and a temperature expansion ratio in the machine direction defined thereinThe ratio (α t), and the coefficient of humidity expansion (α h) in the longitudinal direction. Further, International publication No. 99/29488 pamphlet discloses a biaxially oriented polyester film in which the coefficient of thermal expansion in the transverse direction α t (× 10)-6/° c), coefficient of lateral humidity expansion α h (× 10)-6/% RH) and the transverse shrinkage P (ppm/g) with respect to a longitudinal load under the load are specified to be within specific ranges. Further, international publication No. 00/76749 pamphlet discloses a biaxially oriented polyester film, in which dimensional change in the width direction and thermal expansion coefficient α t (× 10) in the transverse direction when it is left standing with a load applied in the longitudinal direction are set-6/° c), coefficient of lateral humidity expansion α h (× 10)-6/% RH) and the transverse shrinkage P (ppm/g) with respect to a longitudinal load under the load are specified to be within specific ranges.
However, the methods proposed in these publications are achieved by setting the stretching conditions and the subsequent heat-setting treatment conditions in specific ranges, and for example, the longitudinal young's modulus of the base film can be improved by increasing the shrinkage in the width direction with time when a load is applied in the longitudinal direction, but on the other hand, from the viewpoint of polymer properties and film formability, the upper limit of the transverse young's modulus is smaller as the longitudinal young's modulus is increased, and as a result, dimensional change due to temperature and humidity change becomes large, and the like, which cannot be fundamentally solved.
Further, the capacitor is manufactured by the following method: a thermoplastic resin film such as polyethylene terephthalate or polypropylene and a metal film such as aluminum foil are laminated and wound or laminated. In recent years, with the demand for miniaturization of electric or electronic circuits, thin film capacitors have been also miniaturized and mounted, and further heat resistance is required in addition to electric characteristics. In addition, in automotive applications, the range of use is expanded not only in the cabin but also in the engine room, and there is a demand for a film capacitor suitable for dimensional stability under higher temperature and high humidity in addition to electrical characteristics.
Therefore, for the purpose of solving the heat resistance of films for capacitors, Japanese patent laid-open No. 2000-173855 discloses a method of using a polyethylene-2, 6-naphthalate film, and proposes a method of controlling the crystalline state, the limiting viscosity, and the like for the purpose of improving the electrical characteristics thereof. However, this method has a limit to further improvement in electrical characteristics because it is a polar polymer.
On the other hand, as a thermoplastic resin having excellent electrical characteristics, a syndiotactic polystyrene-based polymer is known. However, syndiotactic polystyrene-based polymers are difficult to form into films as compared with polyester resins, and the resulting films are also prone to cracking, so that improvement in workability in the production of capacitors is required.
International publication No. 97/32223 pamphlet proposes a film comprising syndiotactic polystyrene and polyethylene 2, 6-naphthalate. However, these films are optical materials for controlling optical characteristics such as reflectance and transmittance, and are substantially uniaxially oriented films.
In addition, Japanese patent application laid-open No. H08-176329 and the like propose a void-containing polyester film in which a polyester resin is blended with syndiotactic polystyrene as a void-developing agent, and disclose that the susceptibility to deformation of syndiotactic polystyrene at a stretching temperature affects the development of voids. However, since voids have a large influence on various properties as the thickness of the film becomes thinner, various properties required for those applications, for example, mechanical properties such as young's modulus and withstand voltage properties, may be lowered in applications requiring a thin film thickness.
In addition, as a film in which syndiotactic polystyrene and polyester are laminated, a laminated film in which the ratio of syndiotactic polystyrene layer is 70% or more is described in Japanese unexamined patent publication No. 8-48008.
Further, Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2000-326467 proposes a multilayer laminated film in which a layer containing polyethylene 2, 6-naphthalate and a layer containing syndiotactic polystyrene are alternately laminated in 11 or more layers. However, these films are intended to selectively reflect light of a specific wavelength by light interference due to a refractive index difference between layers.

Detailed Description
(biaxially oriented film)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention is a single layer film or a laminated film, and specifically, the following configuration is illustrated. The biaxially oriented film of the present invention comprises an aromatic polyester (a) and a polyolefin (b) having a melting point of 230-280 ℃, and the proportion of the polyolefin (b) is required to be in the range of 2 to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the film. When the content of the polyolefin (b) is less than the lower limit, the improvement of the dimensional stability against humidity change is insufficient. In addition, when the content of the polyolefin (b) exceeds the upper limit, the obtained biaxially oriented film is a film lacking in mechanical properties. The proportion of the polyolefin (b) is preferably 3 to 55% by weight, more preferably 3 to 50% by weight, still more preferably 5 to 50% by weight, and particularly preferably 5 to 30% by weight. When the content of the polyolefin (b) is less than the lower limit, the improvement of the dimensional stability against humidity change may be insufficient and the withstand voltage characteristics may not be sufficiently improved. When the proportion of the polyolefin (b) exceeds 50% by weight, it may be difficult to stretch-form the film.
The thickness of the biaxially oriented film of the present invention is required to be in the range of 1 to 10 μm, preferably 2 to 10 μm, more preferably 2 to 7 μm, and particularly preferably 3 to 7 μm. When its thickness exceeds the upper limit, the film thickness is too thick, and in the case of use for a magnetic recording medium, for example, the tape length contained in the cartridge becomes short, and a sufficient magnetic recording capacity cannot be obtained. In addition, in the case of using the capacitor, miniaturization of the capacitor becomes difficult. On the other hand, when the amount is less than the lower limit, the film tends to be broken more often during film formation due to the small thickness of the film, and the winding property of the film tends to be poor.

Examples of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, 2, 6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and 4, 4' -biphenyldicarboxylic acid, and examples of the diol include ethylene glycol, 1, 4-butanediol, 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and 1, 6-hexanediol. Among these polymers, polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene 2, 6-naphthalate are preferable, and polyethylene 2, 6-naphthalate is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of mechanical properties and heat resistance.
The polyester resin in the present invention may be a single polyester resin or 1 selected from a copolymer with another polyester and a mixture of 2 or more polyesters, but from the viewpoint of mechanical properties and heat resistance, a single polyester resin is preferred. The other components in the copolymer or the blend are preferably 10 mol% or less, more preferably 5 mol% or less, based on the number of moles of the repeating structural unit. The copolymerization component includes a diol component such as diethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol or polyalkylene glycol, and a dicarboxylic acid component such as adipic acid, sebacic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid or 5-sodiosulfoisophthalic acid.
The intrinsic viscosity of the polyester resin in the present invention is preferably 0.40 or more, more preferably 0.40 to 0.80 in o-chlorophenol at 35 ℃. When the intrinsic viscosity is less than 0.4, the film is often cut in many cases, and the strength of the molded product is insufficient. On the other hand, when the intrinsic viscosity exceeds 0.8, the yield at the time of polymerization is lowered.
The melting point of the polyester resin in the present invention is preferably 200-300 ℃, more preferably 240-300 ℃, and particularly preferably 260-290 ℃. When the melting point is less than the lower limit, the heat resistance of the polyester film tends to be insufficient. When the melting point exceeds the upper limit, it may be difficult to mix the polyolefin (b) with the polymer.
The polyester resin of the present invention preferably has a dielectric constant of 2.7 to 3.4 under the conditions of 23 ℃ and 1 MHz. This dielectric constant is a characteristic inherent to the polyester resin.
(polyolefin (b))

The syndiotactic styrene polymer in the present invention may be a single syndiotactic styrene polymer or 2 or more syndiotactic styrene polymers may be used in combination.
The syndiotactic styrenic polymer in the present invention preferably has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or more, more preferably 50,000 or more. When the weight average molecular weight is less than the lower limit, the heat resistance and mechanical properties are insufficient. On the other hand, the upper limit of the weight average molecular weight is preferably 500,000 or less. When the amount exceeds the upper limit, the film-forming property tends to be poor.
The melting point of the polyolefin in the present invention is preferably 240-275 ℃. When the melting point is less than the lower limit, mixing with the aromatic polyester (a) is difficult, and the heat resistance of the obtained biaxially oriented film may be insufficient. In addition, the melting point exceeds the upper limit of the case and aromatic polyester mixed difficult.
The polyolefin of the present invention preferably has a dielectric constant of less than 3.0, more preferably in the range of 2.2 to 2.9 under the conditions of 23 ℃ and 1 MHz. When the dielectric constant exceeds the upper limit, the voltage resistance of the biaxially oriented film may not be sufficiently improved. When the dielectric constant is less than the lower limit, the polyolefin tends to be poor in processability.
The polyolefin of the present invention preferably has a dielectric loss of less than 0.001. Here, the dielectric loss is represented by the dielectric tangent (tan. delta.) at 23 ℃ under 1 MHz. When the dielectric loss is 0.001 or more, the insulation property is lowered, and the withstand voltage characteristics of the obtained biaxially oriented film are not sufficiently improved in some cases.

The content of the aromatic polyester (a) is preferably 45 to 97% by weight, more preferably 50 to 97% by weight, still more preferably 50 to 95% by weight, and particularly preferably 70 to 95% by weight. When the content of the aromatic polyester is less than the lower limit, the obtained biaxially oriented film is a film having poor mechanical properties. When the amount is less than 50% by weight, the stretching film formation may not be sufficiently improved. On the other hand, when the content of the aromatic polyester exceeds the upper limit, the improvement of the dimensional stability against humidity change may be insufficient, and the withstand voltage characteristics may be insufficient.

In the thermoplastic resin composition (c'), when the content of the aromatic polyester (a) exceeds the upper limit or the content of the polyolefin (b) is less than the lower limit, the intended effect of improving the dimensional stability against humidity change is lacking. On the other hand, when the content of the aromatic polyester (a) is less than the lower limit or the content of the polyolefin (b) exceeds the upper limit, the obtained biaxially oriented film becomes a film lacking in mechanical properties. When the content of the aromatic polyester (a) exceeds 50% by weight, particularly excellent film-forming properties can be obtained, and the adhesiveness to the film layer B becomes high.
The thickness of the film layer a is preferably 5 to 95%, more preferably 7 to 93%, and particularly preferably 10 to 90% of the thickness of the laminated film. When the thickness of the film layer a is less than the lower limit, the effect of improving the dimensional stability against humidity change is poor, and on the other hand, when the thickness of the film layer a exceeds the upper limit, the obtained biaxially oriented film becomes a film lacking in mechanical properties.

On the other hand, when the amount of the polyolefin (b) exceeds the upper limit, the obtained biaxially oriented film tends to be a film lacking in mechanical properties. When the amount exceeds 50% by weight, it may be difficult to stretch the film.
The biaxially oriented film (X) may have a preferred layer structure, for example: i) a 2-layer structure in which a film layer B is laminated on one surface of a film layer A; ii) a 3-layer structure in which a film layer B is laminated on both surfaces of a film layer A; iii) a multilayer structure in which at least 4 film layers A and B are stacked in terms of the total number of layers. in the case of the 3-layer structure of ii), the curl resistance is further improved. In the case of the multilayer structure of iii), even if a film layer containing a different resin is laminated, the film can be formed without deterioration of the process due to peeling between layers or the like. in the case of the multilayer structure of iii), the number of all layers is preferably 8 or more, more preferably 16 or more, and particularly preferably 32 or more, and the upper limit is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of preventing the process from being complicated, the number of layers is about 500, and preferably 250. Here, the film layers a and B are preferably alternately laminated, and a film layer containing another resin may be laminated as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. iii) the thickness of each layer of the film layer A is preferably in the range of 0.02 to 1.5 μm, more preferably 0.04 to 1.0. mu.m, and the thickness of each layer of the film layer B is preferably in the range of 0.02 to 1.5. mu.m, more preferably 0.04 to 1.0. mu.m. When the thickness of each of the film layer a or the film layer B is less than the lower limit, extremely many layers need to be stacked, and the process is troublesome and complicated. On the other hand, when the thickness of each of the film layers a or B exceeds the upper limit, delamination may occur between the layers. The thickness of the film can be measured by cutting the laminated film in the thickness direction with a microtome or the like to prepare an ultrathin sheet, and observing the ultrathin sheet with a transmission electron microscope.
(biaxially oriented film (Y))
In another preferred embodiment of the laminated film, the biaxially oriented film (Y) is preferably composed of a film layer B containing an aromatic polyester (a) and a film layer C containing a polyolefin (B) laminated on at least one side thereof.
In the biaxially oriented film (Y), the film layer B contains the aromatic polyester (a), and other resins may be mixed or copolymerized within a range not impairing the object of the present invention. The content of the aromatic polyester (a) in the film layer B is preferably 90% by weight or more, and more preferably 95% by weight or more, based on the weight of the film layer B.

The amount of the polyolefin (b) in the biaxially oriented film (Y) is in the range of 2 to 60% by weight, preferably 3 to 55% by weight, more preferably 3 to 50% by weight, further preferably 5 to 50% by weight, and particularly preferably 5 to 30% by weight, based on the weight of the laminated film. When the amount of the polyolefin (b) is less than the lower limit, the effect of improving the dimensional stability against humidity change tends to be insufficient, and the withstand voltage characteristics may be insufficient. On the other hand, when the amount of the polyolefin (b) exceeds the upper limit, the obtained biaxially oriented film tends to be a film lacking in mechanical properties. When the amount exceeds 50% by weight, it may be difficult to stretch the film.
The biaxially oriented film (Y) may have a preferred layer structure, for example: i) a 2-layer structure in which a film layer B is laminated on one surface of a film layer C; ii) a 3-layer structure in which the film layer B is laminated on both surfaces of the film layer C; iii) a multilayer structure in which at least 4 film layers C and B are stacked in terms of the total number of layers. in the case of the 3-layer structure of ii), the curl resistance is further improved. In the case of the multilayer structure of iii), even if a film layer containing a different resin is laminated, the film can be formed without deterioration of the process due to peeling between layers or the like. in the case of the multilayer structure of iii), the number of all layers is preferably 8 or more, more preferably 16 or more, and particularly preferably 32 or more, and the upper limit is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of preventing the process from being complicated, the number of layers is about 500, and preferably 250. Here, the film layers B and C are preferably alternately laminated, and a film layer containing another resin may be laminated as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. iii) the thickness of each layer of the film layer B is preferably in the range of 0.02 to 1.5 μm, more preferably 0.04 to 1.0. mu.m, and the thickness of each layer of the film layer C is preferably in the range of 0.02 to 1.5. mu.m, more preferably 0.04 to 1.0. mu.m. When the thickness of each layer of the film layer B or the film layer C is less than the lower limit, extremely many layers need to be stacked, and the process is easy to be complicated. On the other hand, when the thickness of each of the film layers B or C exceeds the upper limit, delamination may occur between the layers. The thickness of the film can be measured by cutting the laminated film in the thickness direction with a microtome or the like to prepare an ultrathin sheet, and observing the ultrathin sheet with a transmission electron microscope.
The biaxially oriented film in the present invention includes the above-mentioned single layer film and laminated film as specific examples, and the biaxially oriented film (X) and biaxially oriented film (Y) as specific examples of the laminated film, and a layer structure suitable for further required characteristics can be used according to the application. Among these layer structures, a monolayer film or a biaxially oriented film (X) is preferable from the viewpoint of layer peeling. In particular, in the case of a single-layer film, the blend exhibits excellent dimensional stability against humidity change due to the polyolefin (b) and excellent mechanical properties and film-forming properties due to the aromatic polyester (a). In the case of the single-layer film of the present invention, even if the amount of the polyolefin (b) blended is small, the single-layer film can have the same withstand voltage characteristics as the polyolefin (b). In addition, in the biaxially oriented film (X), in the case of 2-layer structure, by further laminating the film layer B, the excellent mechanical properties and film-forming properties due to the aromatic polyester (a) are easily exhibited. In addition, from the viewpoint of curl resistance, a 3-layer structure of the biaxially oriented film (X) is preferable.
(dispersed state of film layer comprising thermoplastic resin composition)
The film layer comprising the thermoplastic resin composition (c) or the thermoplastic resin composition (c') of the present invention is formed using a mixture of the aromatic polyester (a) and the polyolefin (b), and the polyolefin (b) is preferably dispersed in island form. The island-like dispersed shape may be any of a spherical shape, an elliptical shape, and a rod shape. In the present invention, a rod-like dispersion shape elongated in the MD direction is observed in many cases, and the average length in the MD direction is more preferably 20 μm or less. The average length is determined by measuring the length in the MD direction of 100 dispersed phases containing olefin (b) in a film thickness cross section parallel to the MD direction observed at 200 times using an optical microscope (oppthot-2 manufactured by Nikon corporation).
The average length in the MD direction is more preferably 15 μm or less, and particularly preferably 10 μm or less. When the average length exceeds the upper limit, the film may be easily broken in a stretching process. Further, as the film thickness becomes thinner, the influence of the size of the dispersed phase becomes remarkable, and the film is likely to be broken in the stretching step.
Examples of the method of setting the average length in the MD to 20 μm or less include a physical method using a kneading method and a chemical method using a compatibilizing agent. From the viewpoint of being processable with an existing apparatus, it is more preferable that the thermoplastic resin composition (c) or the thermoplastic resin composition (c') further contains a compatibilizing agent.
The compatibilizing agent herein includes, in addition to the definition of the usual compatibilizing agent, an agent having a function of reducing the size of the dispersed phase containing the polyolefin (b). The compatibilizing agent having such a function is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a thermoplastic amorphous resin (d) having an intermediate solubility parameter (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as an SP value) between the aromatic polyester (a) and the polyolefin (b). The SP values of the aromatic polyester (a) and the polyolefin (b) are determined depending on the kind of the resin used and the copolymerization components. For example, among the aromatic polyesters (a), the SP value of polyethylene terephthalate calculated by the Fedor method (hereinafter, abbreviated as the Fedor method) is 23.6 (MJ/m)3)0.5The polyethylene-2, 6-naphthalate was 24.8 (MJ/m)3)0.5(Fedor method), and among the polyolefins (b), polystyrene was 20.7 (MJ/m)3)0.5(Fedor method).
Examples of the thermoplastic amorphous resin (d) include acrylic copolymerized polyolefin and vinyl oxazoline copolymerized polyolefin resin, and among these copolymers, styrene is more preferable as a monomer constituting the olefin component. In addition, among the copolymers, as monomers constituting the acrylic component, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, and butyl (meth) acrylate are exemplified. The thermoplastic amorphous resin (d) may further contain an epoxy group to improve the compatibilizing effect.
The thermoplastic amorphous resin (d) is preferably contained in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight based on the weight of the thermoplastic resin composition (c) or the thermoplastic resin composition (c'). The content of the thermoplastic amorphous resin (d) is more preferably 0.2 to 5% by weight, particularly preferably 0.3 to 3% by weight. When the content is less than the lower limit, the effect as a compatibilizing agent is not exhibited, and therefore the average length of the polyolefin (b) is not in a desired range, and the film-forming property may be poor. On the other hand, when the content exceeds the upper limit, gelation may occur due to a crosslinking reaction.
The film layer comprising the thermoplastic resin composition (c) or the thermoplastic resin composition (c') of the present invention preferably has no voids. Here, the void refers to a void generated at the interface between the aromatic polyester (a) forming the matrix phase and the polyolefin (b) forming the island phase. The voids can be determined by 200-fold observation using an optical microscope (OPTPHOT-2 manufactured by Nikon Co., Ltd.) in the same manner as the method of determining the average length of the polyolefin (b). The term "having no voids" means that: in the observation by the optical microscope, the number of dispersed phases having voids around the dispersed phase is 10 or less, and more preferably 5 or less, among 100 dispersed phases containing the polyolefin (b).
When voids are present, the film may be easily broken in the film stretching step. Further, as the film thickness becomes thinner, the portion of the void becomes defective, and the mechanical properties and the withstand voltage properties may be lowered.
In order to have no voids, it is preferable to select the polyolefin (b) having a Tg lower than the glass transition point (Tg) of the aromatic polyester (a), and the stretching temperature of the film is equal to or higher than the Tg of the aromatic polyester (a). Among polyolefins, resins having a compatibility parameter close to that of aromatic polyesters are preferably used. Further, by containing a compatibilizing agent, voids can also be eliminated.
(inert particle)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention may contain inert particles, for example, inorganic particles containing an element of group IIA, group IIB, group IVA or group IVB of the periodic table (for example, kaolin, alumina, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, silica, etc.), fine particles comprising a highly heat-resistant polymer such as a crosslinked silicone resin, crosslinked polystyrene, crosslinked acrylic resin particles, etc., and the like.
When the inert particles are contained, the average particle diameter of the inert particles is preferably 0.001 to 5 μm, and the inert particles are preferably contained in a range of 0.01 to 10 wt% based on the total weight of the film.
In the case of use in a magnetic recording medium, preferable average particle diameter and content of the inert particles are exemplified below with respect to a single layer film or a laminated film.
That is, in the case where the monolayer film is used for the magnetic recording medium, the average particle diameter of the inert particles is preferably 0.01 to 1.0. mu.m, more preferably 0.03 to 0.8. mu.m, and particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.6. mu.m. The content of the inert particles is preferably 0.01 to 1.0% by weight, more preferably 0.03 to 0.8% by weight, particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, based on the weight of the thermoplastic resin composition (c). The inert particles contained in the film may be a single component or a multicomponent system, but from the viewpoint of having both the electromagnetic conversion property of the tape and the winding property of the film, it is preferable to contain 2-component or more than 2-component inert particles. The surface roughness (WRa) of the film surface can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the average particle diameter and the addition amount of the inert particles from the above ranges.
When the biaxially oriented film (X) or the biaxially oriented film (Y) is used as a laminated film for a magnetic recording medium, the average particle diameter of the inert particles is preferably 0.01 to 0.8. mu.m, more preferably 0.02 to 0.6. mu.m, and particularly preferably 0.03 to 0.4. mu.m. The content of the inert particles is not more than 0.5% by weight, preferably 0.4% by weight, and more preferably 0.3% by weight based on the weight of the film layer forming the surface on the flat surface side even when the inert particles are contained or contained. On the other hand, the surface on the rough surface side preferably contains 0.01 to 1.0 wt%, more preferably 0.03 to 0.8 wt%, and particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.6 wt% of inert particles with respect to the weight of the film layer forming the surface. In the case of a laminated structure of 4 or more layers, the film layer having the same composition as the film layer forming the rough surface side surface may contain the same inert particles as the rough surface side surface layer. The inert particles contained in the film may be a single component or a multicomponent system, but particularly in the polymer on the nonmagnetic layer side, it is preferable to contain 2 or more components of multicomponent inert particles from the viewpoint of having both the electromagnetic conversion property of the tape and the winding property of the film. The surface roughness (WRa) of the film surface can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the average particle diameter and the addition amount of the inert particles from the above ranges. In addition, in the case of a single-layer film, the roughness of one surface and the roughness of the other surface cannot be easily changed, but in the case of a laminated film, the roughness of one surface and the roughness of the other surface can be easily changed, and there is an advantage that both the electromagnetic conversion characteristic and the film running property are easily obtained.
(additives)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention may contain a small amount of an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant, an antistatic agent, a light stabilizer, and a heat stabilizer, if necessary.
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention may contain a phosphorus compound. The phosphorus compound is not particularly limited in its kind if it functions as a heat stabilizer, and examples thereof include phosphoric acid esters such as phosphoric acid, methyl phosphate and ethyl phosphate, phosphorous acid and phosphorous acid esters, and among the phosphorus compounds, triethyl phosphonoacetate is particularly preferable.
The phosphorus compound is preferably contained in an amount of 20 to 300ppm, more preferably 30 to 250ppm, and particularly preferably 50 to 200ppm, in terms of the molar concentration of the phosphorus element in the phosphorus compound relative to the total dicarboxylic acid components of the polyester. When the content of the phosphorus compound is less than the lower limit, the transesterification catalyst is not completely deactivated, and sometimes the thermal stability is poor and the mechanical properties are lowered. On the other hand, when the content of the phosphorus compound exceeds the upper limit, the thermal stability is poor and the mechanical properties are sometimes degraded.
(coefficient of humidity expansion in width direction)
In the biaxially oriented film of the present invention, the moisture expansion coefficient α h in the width direction of the film is preferably 0.1 × 10-6~13×10-6/% RH. Further preferably,. alpha.h is 0.5X 10-6~11×10-6/% RH, particularly preferably 0.5X 10-6~10×10-6/% RH.
When α h is less than the lower limit, the polyolefin (b) is excessively present, and the film formability is sometimes lowered and the mechanical properties are sometimes lowered. On the other hand, if the upper limit is exceeded, the film is stretched by the change in humidity, and when used in a magnetic recording medium, track deviation or the like may occur, and when used in a thin film capacitor, the capacitor characteristics may be insufficient in applications required in high humidity environments such as an engine room of an automobile. Such α h is obtained by: the Young's modulus in the measurement direction is increased by stretching and is achieved by blending with polyolefin. When the film is not stretched in the width direction, the Young's modulus in the width direction is low, and therefore, even when polyolefin is blended, the coefficient of humidity expansion in the above range cannot be obtained.
(coefficient of thermal expansion in the width direction)
In the biaxially oriented film of the present invention, the temperature expansion coefficient α t in the width direction of the film is preferably-10X 10-6~+15×10-6Range/° c. Preferred alphat is-8X 10-6~+10×10-6Per DEG C, particularly preferably-5X 10-6~+5×10-6Range/° c. When α t is less than the lower limit, shrinkage occurs, and when α t exceeds the upper limit, the film stretches due to changes in humidity, and when the film is used for a magnetic recording medium, track deviation or the like may occur, and when α t exceeds the upper limit, the film may have insufficient capacitor characteristics when used for a capacitor, and in applications required in high-temperature environments such as an engine room of an automobile. Such α t is obtained by: the Young's modulus in the measurement direction is improved by stretching, and the amount of polyolefin present is not more than the above upper limit. In the widthWhen the film is not stretched in the transverse direction, the Young's modulus in the transverse direction is low, and therefore, even when a polyolefin is blended, the temperature expansion coefficient in the above range cannot be obtained.
(Young's modulus)
In the biaxially oriented film of the present invention, it is preferable that the young's modulus in both the film formation direction (MD direction) and the width direction (hereinafter, may be referred to as transverse direction or TD direction) of the film is 5GPa or more. When the young's modulus of either one is less than the lower limit, even if the dimensional change due to the change in humidity is small, the magnetic recording medium may not be able to withstand the load applied thereto or deformation due to the change in temperature and humidity. Further, the sum of the Young's modulus in the film forming direction and the Young's modulus in the width direction is preferably at most 22 GPa. When the sum of the young's modulus in the film forming direction and the young's modulus in the width direction exceeds the upper limit, the stretching ratio becomes excessively high in film formation, and film breakage occurs frequently, and the product yield tends to be significantly low. The upper limit of the sum of the Young's modulus in the film formation direction and the Young's modulus in the width direction is preferably 20GPa or less, and more preferably 18GPa or less.
In the case of providing a magnetic tape as a linear track system, it is preferable that the young's modulus in the film forming direction is larger than the young's modulus in the width direction from the viewpoint of reducing the elongation in the film forming direction. The young's modulus in the film-forming direction is preferably larger than the young's modulus in the width direction, the young's modulus in the film-forming direction is 6GPa or more, preferably 7GPa or more, particularly preferably 8GPa or more, and the young's modulus in the width direction is 5GPa or more, further preferably 6GPa or more, particularly preferably 7GPa or more. In addition, from the viewpoint of minimizing the elongation in the width direction, the young's modulus in the width direction is preferably larger than the young's modulus in the film formation direction. The young's modulus in the width direction is preferably larger than the young's modulus in the film formation direction, the young's modulus in the width direction is 7GPa or more, preferably 8GPa or more, and particularly preferably 9GPa or more, and the young's modulus in the film formation direction is 5GPa or more, more preferably 6GPa or more, and particularly preferably 7GPa or more. From the viewpoint of reducing the elongation in both the film-forming direction and the width direction, the difference between the young's modulus in the film-forming direction and the young's modulus in the width direction is 2GPa or less, particularly preferably 1GPa or less, the young's modulus in the film-forming direction is 6GPa or more, preferably 7GPa or more, particularly preferably 8GPa or more, and the young's modulus in the width direction is 6GPa or more, more preferably 7GPa or more, particularly preferably 8GPa or more.
(dielectric breakdown voltage)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention preferably has a dielectric breakdown voltage of more than 400V/. mu.m. The dielectric breakdown voltage is more preferably 410V/μm or more, still more preferably 460V/μm or more, and particularly preferably 470V/μm or more. When the dielectric breakdown voltage is not more than the lower limit, the electrical characteristics when used in a capacitor may be insufficient. Here, the dielectric breakdown voltage is a value measured by a flat electrode method according to JIS C2151 using a device ITS-6003, manufactured by Tokyo Seiki Seikagaku corporation, at a DC current of 160V/s.
(Heat resistance temperature)
The heat resistant temperature of the biaxially oriented film of the present invention is preferably 110 ℃ or higher. The heat-resistant temperature is more preferably 115 ℃ or higher, and particularly preferably 120 ℃ or higher. When the heat-resistant temperature is less than the lower limit, the heat resistance may be insufficient when used in a capacitor. Here, the heatproof temperature is a temperature defined as a temperature that can withstand 20000 hours, in which an Arrhenius (Arrhenius) graph is plotted as a relationship between a time and a temperature of a half-life period of an insulation breakdown voltage in accordance with a temperature index of IEC 60216.
(coating layer)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention may have a coating layer (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a coating layer) on at least one surface of the outermost layer. The coating layer is obtained by coating a coating agent containing a binder resin and a solvent on a biaxially oriented film. As the binder resin, various resins of thermoplastic resins or thermosetting resins can be used, and examples thereof include polyesters, polyimides, polyamides, polyesteramides, polyolefins, polyvinyl chlorides, poly (meth) acrylates, polyurethanes, polystyrenes, copolymers thereof, and mixtures thereof. Among these binder resins, a polyester copolymer is particularly preferred. Examples of the solvent include organic solvents such as toluene, ethyl acetate, and methyl ethyl ketone, and mixtures thereof, and water may be used.
The coating layer in the present invention may further contain a crosslinking agent, a surfactant and inert particles as components for forming a coating film. The surfactant is, for example, a polyalkylene oxide.
The coating film layer in the present invention may further contain, in addition to the above components, other resins such as melamine resin, soft polymer, filler, heat stabilizer, weather stabilizer, aging inhibitor, marking agent (ラベリング), antistatic agent, slip agent, anti-blocking agent, anti-halation agent, dye, pigment, natural oil, synthetic oil, wax, emulsifier, curing agent, flame retardant, and the like, and the compounding ratio thereof is appropriately selected within a range not impairing the object of the present invention.
In the present invention, the method of laminating the coating film layer on the biaxially oriented film may be any of the following methods: a method of coating and drying a coating agent on at least one side of a biaxially stretched film; a method of applying a coating agent to a stretchable film, drying and stretching the film, and if necessary, performing a heat treatment. Here, the stretchable film is an unstretched film, a uniaxially stretched film or a biaxially stretched film, and among these films, a longitudinally stretched film which is uniaxially stretched in the direction of film extrusion (longitudinal direction) is particularly preferable.
When the coating agent is applied to the film, the coating agent is preferably applied in a clean atmosphere, that is, in a film formation step, and the adhesion of the coating film to the film is improved. In the case where a film subjected to heat fixation after biaxial stretching, which is a normal coating process, is applied in a process separated from the film production process, dust, dirt, and the like are easily entrained.
As a method for applying the coating agent to the film, any known coating method can be used, and for example, a roll coating method, a gravure coating method, a roll brush method, a spray coating method, an air knife coating method, a dipping method, and a curtain coating method can be used alone or in combination.
(surface layer)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention may be a laminate in which another layer is further laminated on at least one surface for the purpose of imparting another function.
For example, in the case of use in a magnetic recording medium, a polyester film layer substantially free of inert particles may be laminated on the surface of the biaxially oriented film of the present invention on the magnetic layer side in order to make the magnetic layer side a more flat surface. In order to make the traveling surface (non-magnetic layer) side more excellent in traveling property, a polyester film layer containing a large amount of relatively large inert particles may be laminated on the non-magnetic layer side surface of the biaxially oriented film of the present invention. Such a laminated film is preferable as a magnetic recording medium in that both electromagnetic conversion characteristics and ease of film winding are obtained.
In the case of using the biaxially oriented film for a thin film capacitor, for example, a layer D of a compound containing an oxygen atom may be further provided on at least one surface of the biaxially oriented film for the purpose of further improving the self-repairability (セルフヒ - リング properties). The ratio of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms on the surface, as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, is preferably 10% or more, and more preferably 15% or more. When the (oxygen atom/carbon atom) ratio is less than the lower limit, the self-repairability at the time of voltage loading may sometimes become poor. Examples of the compound containing an oxygen atom include cellulose and SiO2. In the case of cellulose, the binder component of the coating layer contains cellulose in an amount of 5 to 50 wt%, and the cellulose can be laminated by a coating method. In the presence of SiO2In the case of (2), any method of vacuum evaporation, ion plating, or sputtering may be used for lamination.
The thickness of the layer D containing the compound containing an oxygen atom is preferably 30% or less of the total thickness of the film. When the thickness is larger than 30%, electrical characteristics such as capacitance, temperature of dielectric tangent, frequency characteristics, and the like may be poor. The lower limit of the thickness is not particularly limited, but when it is thinner than 0.005 μm, the effect of improving the self-repairability may be hardly obtained.
(surface roughness WRa)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention preferably has a surface roughness WRa (center plane average roughness) suitable for the use according to the use.
For example, in the case of use in a magnetic recording medium, the surface roughness WRa (center plane average roughness) of one surface of the biaxially oriented film is preferably 1 to 10nm, more preferably 2 to 10nm, and particularly preferably 2 to 8 nm. When the surface roughness WRa is more than 10nm, the surface of the magnetic layer becomes rough, and satisfactory electromagnetic conversion characteristics tend to be difficult to obtain. On the other hand, when the surface roughness WRa is less than 1nm, the surface is too flat, and therefore, the slip on the transfer roll (パスロ - ル) or the calender is deteriorated, wrinkles are generated, and the magnetic layer may not be smoothly applied, and the calendering may not be smoothly performed.
The surface roughness WRa of the other surface may be the same as WRa or larger than WRa, and is preferably 5 to 20nm, more preferably 6 to 15nm, and particularly preferably 8 to 12 nm. When the surface roughness WRa of the other surface is greater than the upper limit, the irregularities on the surface on the traveling surface side are transferred to the surface on the magnetic layer side, and the surface on the magnetic layer side becomes rough, so that satisfactory electromagnetic conversion characteristics may not be obtained. On the other hand, when the surface roughness WRa is less than the lower limit, the surface becomes too flat, the slip on the transfer roll or the calender is deteriorated, wrinkles are generated, and the magnetic layer may not be smoothly applied. In the case of a biaxially stretched laminate film, it is preferable that 2 surfaces have different surface morphologies from the viewpoint of easier adjustment of electromagnetic conversion characteristics and running properties.
These surface roughness WRa can be adjusted by including inert particles in the film or by surface treatment for forming fine irregularities, for example, coating treatment with a coating agent.
In addition, in the case of using the biaxially oriented film for a film capacitor, the surface roughness WRa (center plane average roughness) of the biaxially oriented film is preferably 1 to 150nm, more preferably 10 to 120nm, and particularly preferably 30 to 100 nm. When the surface roughness WRa is larger than the upper limit, the film protrusion becomes too large when processed into a capacitor, and the dielectric characteristics may be unstable due to the action of air interposed between the films, and the dielectric breakdown voltage may be easily lowered due to the action of the protrusion. On the other hand, if the surface roughness WRa is less than the lower limit, the film may be too flat, which may cause problems such as workability in the metal deposition step and the film winding step, deformation in the capacitor heat treatment step and the pressing step, and adhesion between films.
(method for producing film)
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention is preferably produced by the following method.
The biaxially oriented film of the present invention is produced by using a known film-forming method such as a tenter method or an inflation method after extruding the above-mentioned aromatic polyester (a) and polyolefin (b) as raw materials in a molten state into a sheet shape in the case of a single layer film, and includes, for example: a method in which a predetermined amount of an aromatic polyester (a) and a predetermined amount of a polyolefin (b) are mixed, dried, and then supplied to an extruder heated to 300 ℃ to be molded into a sheet from a T die.
Preferably, the film is produced by extruding the aromatic polyester at a temperature of from the melting point (Tm:. degree. C.) to (Tm + 70). degree.C.), rapidly cooling and solidifying the extruded film to give an unstretched film, stretching the unstretched film in a uniaxial direction (longitudinal or transverse direction) to a predetermined magnification at a temperature of from (Tg-10) to (Tg + 70). degree.C., then stretching the unstretched film in a direction perpendicular to the stretching direction (in the case where the first step is the longitudinal direction, the second step is the transverse direction) to a predetermined magnification at a temperature of from Tg to (Tg + 70). degree.C., and further carrying out a heat treatment. In this case, the stretching ratio, stretching temperature, heat treatment conditions, and the like are selected and determined according to the properties of the film. The area stretch ratio is preferably 6 to 35 times, and in the case of a capacitor, it is preferably 6 to 25 times, and more preferably 7 to 16 times. In the case of the magnetic recording medium, the amount is preferably 15 to 35 times, and more preferably 20 to 30 times. The thermal fixing temperature can be determined from the range of 190-250 ℃ and the treatment time can be determined from the range of 1-60 seconds. Particularly, when heat resistance is required, it is preferable to perform thermal fixation in the range of 210 ℃ and 240 ℃ in order to improve dimensional stability under high temperature conditions. By performing such heat-fixing treatment, the heat shrinkage ratio of the obtained biaxially oriented film at 200 ℃ can be made to be-3.5 to 3.5%, more preferably-3 to 3%, and particularly preferably 0 to 3%. When the heat shrinkage ratio is within these ranges, the film is less likely to wrinkle when processed into a capacitor. In order to suppress the heat shrinkage, annealing treatment may be further performed in an off-line step by heat treatment at 150-220 ℃ for 1-60 seconds and then slow cooling at 50-80 ℃.
In addition to the sequential biaxial stretching method described above, a biaxial stretching method may be used simultaneously. In the sequential biaxial stretching method, the number of times of stretching in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction is not limited to1, and the longitudinal-transverse stretching can be performed by several times of stretching treatment, and the number of times is not limited. For example, in the case of magnetic recording medium applications, when it is desired to further improve the mechanical properties, the biaxially oriented film before the heat-fixing treatment is heat-treated at a temperature of (Tg +20) to (Tg +70) DEG C, stretched in the longitudinal or transverse direction at a temperature 10 to 40 ℃ higher than the heat-treatment temperature, and then further stretched in the transverse or longitudinal direction at a temperature 20 to 50 ℃ higher than the stretching temperature, preferably, the total stretch ratio in the longitudinal direction is 3.0 to 7.0 times, and the total stretch ratio in the transverse direction is 3.0 to 6.0 times.
In the case of producing a 2-layer or 3-layer laminated film, a coextrusion method is exemplified. Preferably, the raw materials constituting each layer are laminated in a die by coextrusion in a molten state and then extruded into a sheet, or 2 or more kinds of molten polyesters are extruded from a die and then laminated, rapidly cooled and solidified to form a laminated unstretched film, and then biaxially stretched and heat-treated by the same method and conditions as in the case of the single-layer film to form a laminated biaxially oriented film.
In the case of producing a laminate film having 4 or more layers, for example, it can be produced by a simultaneous multilayer extrusion method using a feed block as proposed in paragraph 0028 of Japanese patent laid-open No. 2000-326467. That is, the aromatic polyester (a) constituting the film layer B, the thermoplastic resin composition (C') constituting the film layer a, or the polyolefin (B) constituting the film layer C are dried, then supplied to an extruder heated to about 300 ℃, and, for example, the respective melts are alternately laminated using a feed block, developed and extruded in a die to form a laminated unstretched film, and then biaxially stretched and heat-treated by the same method and conditions as in the case of the single-layer film to form a laminated biaxially oriented film.
When a coating layer is provided, a desired coating liquid is preferably applied to one surface or both surfaces of the unstretched film or the uniaxially stretched film.
(magnetic recording Medium)
According to the present invention, there is provided a magnetic recording medium having the above biaxially oriented film of the present invention as a base film and having a magnetic layer on one surface thereof.
The magnetic recording medium is not particularly limited as long as the biaxially oriented film of the present invention is used as a base film, and examples thereof include a linear track type magnetic tape for storing data such as QIC, DLT, and high capacity type S-DLT and LTO. Further, since the dimensional change of the base film due to the temperature and humidity change is extremely small, even if the track pitch is narrowed to secure a high capacity of the magnetic tape, the magnetic recording medium is suitable for a high density and high capacity, in which the track deviation is hardly caused.
(film capacitor)
According to the present invention, there is provided a film capacitor comprising the above biaxially oriented film of the present invention as a base film and having a metal layer on at least one side thereof. The material of the metal layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include aluminum, zinc, nickel, chromium, tin, copper, and alloys thereof. In addition, in the case of providing the layer D containing a compound containing an oxygen atom for the purpose of improving self-repairability, the structure of the thin film capacitor is exemplified by base film/layer D/metal layer, layer D/base film/metal layer.
The film capacitor is not particularly limited as long as the biaxially oriented film of the present invention is used as a base film, and is used in electric and electronic applications requiring downsizing, in a cab for automobile applications, in an engine room requiring heat resistance and moisture resistance, and the like. Further, since the dimensional change of the base film due to the temperature/humidity change is extremely small and the heat resistance and the withstand voltage characteristic expressed by the breakdown voltage are excellent, the thin film capacitor can be further miniaturized and can be suitably used under high temperature and high humidity.
Examples
The present invention is described below based on examples. The characteristic values and evaluation methods were measured and evaluated by the following methods. In the examples, parts and% refer to parts by weight and% by weight, respectively.
(1) Melting point and glass transition point
10mg of the aromatic polyester (a) or the polyolefin (b) was sealed in an aluminum dish for measurement, and measured at a temperature rise rate of 20 ℃/min from 25 ℃ to 300 ℃ using a differential calorimeter DSC2920 manufactured by TAinstinstruments, to obtain the melting point (melting point of the aromatic polyester (a: Tma, melting point of the polyolefin (b: Tmb)) and the glass transition point (glass transition point of the aromatic polyester (a: Tga, glass transition point of the polyolefin (b: Tgb)) of each of them.
