Description

High optical purity copolymer film
Invention field
The present invention relates to a kind of high optical purity, toughened film or coating based on multipolymer.This multipolymer is grafting or segmented copolymer, preferably, the acrylic acid grafting or the segmented copolymer that form by controllable free-radical polymerisation technology preferably,, it has the particle contamination of utmost point low degree.Described film or coating preferably form by solvent cast (casting) or solvent coating, and show good optical characteristics.
Background of invention
Acrylic acid composition and by its goods made from transparent, have surface gloss, UV degradation, anti-cut and well-known.Also known their shock strengths are low, fragility, poor ductility are arranged.
Can improve impact strength and ductility by in acrylic substrate, adding anti-impact modifier, nucleocapsid (core shell) anti-impact modifier that anti-impact modifier is for example described in the United States Patent (USP) 6,420,033.This method can be used for by molten condition processing as melt extrudes lamella or film and injection moulding making film or coating.Also can be used for preparing film or coating by the solvent cast or the solvent coating of dispersion soln.Yet known core-shell impact modifiers can cause the optical clarity problem.Their transparent (clarity) degree is based on the index matched degree between adjuvant and the matrix, and this depends on temperature to a great extent.After melt process (for example thermoforming, extrude or injection moulding), its outward appearance is relatively poor.Relatively poor outward appearance can be that for example surface haze height or glossiness are low.Core-shell impact modifiers also can produce albefaction (whitening) under stress condition.Similar or during greater than this thickness, these effects are especially obvious when the thickness of particle diameter and film or coating.At last, containing the film of nucleocapsid adjuvant or the optical purity of coating can't improve by microfiltration (fine filtration), because filtration step can be removed these nucleocapsid correctivess.
Also the segmented copolymer anti-impact modifier can be added in the acryl resin to improve impact resistance and toughness.European patent 1475397 has been described use methacrylate/acrylate block copolymer, and this multipolymer forms by controlled radical polymerization technique.Segmented copolymer can be used as the anti-impact modifier in the thermoplastic matrix or himself can be thermoformed into bar, sheet, film or extrusion molding product.
WO 2004/087796 has described the segmented copolymer that utilizes at least 95% content in the acryl resin and toughness is provided and has solved usually and some relevant transparency problems of use nucleocapsid modifier.The self-organization in Nano grade of these segmented copolymers provides good transparency for material in very large-scale temperature.Handle disclosed block polymer with smelting process.
United States Patent (USP) 6,239,226 described by just-segmented copolymer that oxyl (n-oxyl) free radical forms, but it is used for producing transparent or semitransparent film or the mechanograph (molding) with high impact strength (especially at low temperatures).With coextrusion, extrude or the method for melt processing of injection moulding is processed these films.
European patent 1348735 has been described the acrylic block copolymers of the anti-impact modifier that can be used as thermoplastic.Described the acrylic acid (segmented copolymer) of impact resistance, be used for thermoforming pipe, lamellar membrane and fibrous product through modification.
Toughness, be usually used in sheltering and protect other plastic material through the acrylic film of impact modification or coating, to utilize good acrylic properties.
Toughness, use the transparency of the level of also having relatively high expectations and do not have foreign particle or optical defect that gel causes through some of the acrylic film of impact modification or coating.The melting mixing of the routine of describing with this area is extruded, injection moulding, pressing mold (compressing molding) or calendering (calendaring) processing acryhic material cause to a certain degree defective, for example dust and part (formation) gel through regular meeting.For the meticulousst filtration, preferred polymers solution because for polymer melt the lower viscosity of easier acquisition.Need a kind of shock proof acrylic film or coating with high-optical-purity.
Unexpectedly, find that available leading portion copolymer compositions based on solvent can form toughness reinforcing film and coating in solvent cast and solvent coating process.Preferred described film and coating are acrylic acid (acrylic).Can remove after filtration greater than the particle of setting diameter based on the segmented copolymer of solvent, no matter this diameter is to arrive greater than 50 microns less than 1 micron, this multipolymer is used to produce the film and the coating of high-optical-purity then.Any requirement maybe needs the place of low defective film and coating can use the film and the coating of this high-optical-purity.Based on the film of solvent and another advantage of coating is to make the variation in thickness of film and coating littler than film and the coating that existing melting method makes.
Find, can under several conditions, keep good transparency based on the material of segmented copolymer.Under mechanical stress, their transparency can keep, and this is with opposite based on the material of nucleocapsid modifier.In addition, thermoformed components can not form turbidity owing to this parts attenuation makes the shock resistance correctives move to the surface in process.
The solution coatings that adopts acrylic block copolymers to prepare to have appropriate balance between multifrequency nature or the film of solvent cast are also described at present in this area, and described characteristic comprises the transparency in toughness, serviceability temperature and stress and the process.Solvent cast or solvent coating can provide film and the coating that is of high quality, because with respect to other film build method, have carried out microfiltration before forming film.
