Background technology
Generally desire at frosting printing type face or design configuration, can see through accomplished in many ways, for example intaglio plate bat printing (Pad Printing) method, dipping printing (Impregnation Printing) method and laser labelling (Laser Marking) method etc.
Wherein, the application of intaglio plate pad printing method is the most extensive, and main technical principle is to utilize one group of character font as original type matrix;, again one group of soft rubber piece is pressed in above it, when lifting block rubber after brushing printing ink above it through automation; Writing printing ink will be transferred on the block rubber; And then block rubber moved on on the keyboard of space, block rubber is pressed on the keyboard, printing ink just has been printed on the keyboard; Yet it has drawback: the solvent that process velocity is slow and cost is high, used causes environmental pollution easily and needs higher facility investment etc.
And the cardinal principle of dipping printing process is on transcription film or paper, to use the ink with sublimability, and through heating and pressing mode ink bleed is advanced in the plastics; Yet the dipping printing process has the shortcoming of manufacturing cost height and complex process.
On the other hand; The cardinal principle of laser labeling method is to utilize laser beam to burn the literal vestige at body surface; Its method is simple; Relative preceding method cost is lower and speed is fast, can also keep the good persistence and the environmental protection of printing material, so laser labeling method has higher using value in industry; But the existing photochromic material that is applied to laser labeling method; Often be applied to assemblies such as keyboard or button, be characterized in that the surface needs mark or character or figure and often need push or rub, and the existing laser labeling method material of selecting for use be in order to keep the contrast gradient of surface printing font or design configuration and base material; But can't have the crushing resistance and the ductility of material concurrently; And be prone to embrittlement or damage causes reducing its life cycle, and the material color kind of using is restricted, and has only two kinds of colors of black and white at present; Wherein, material commonly used is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or acrylonitrile-styrene-butadienecopolymer (ABS resin).
See also Fig. 1; This figure is the chemical formula synoptic diagram of ABS resin; ABS resin is by two incompatible phases, mainly mutually by polybutadiene rubber and (AN-SM) resin since two mutually between refractive index difference cause light scattering effect; Make material lose the transparency and be the relatively poor material of transparency, and that PMMA is prone to is crisp.
Therefore, be necessary to provide a kind of compressive resistance that has concurrently with good ductility and can keep certain variable color photochromic macromolecular material of (contrast gradient) mutually again, and can allocate material color, to address the above problem according to demand.

See also Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, Fig. 4 is the corresponding form and aspect experimental result of material shown in Figure 3, and Fig. 5 is the corresponding physical property experiment result of material shown in Figure 3; Can learn from Fig. 4 to have now when using the PMMA resin (material 1) that can obtain preferable form and aspect diversity factor (dL*), its value can reach 52.93 as main raw material; From Fig. 4, can learn (material 2) when using the MABS resin, can obtain time good form and aspect diversity factor (dL*), can reach 49.44 as main raw material; Can learn that from Fig. 4 its form and aspect diversity factor (dL*) is not good in material 3 (ABS resin is main) and material 4 (PMMA resin 20% and ABS resin 80%), its value only reaches 38.39 and 26.28, and this is the result of current material; At last; From Fig. 4, can learn when using MABS resin (80%) and PMMA resin (20%) (material 5) as main raw material; Can obtain preferable form and aspect diversity factor (dL*), its value can reach 50.25, therefore can know through above-mentioned test; With regard to its form and aspect diversity factor; When the present invention utilized MABS resin or MABS resin and PMMA mixing material for main raw material, it is suitable that it can keep the form and aspect diversity factor (dL*) that is appeared with current material PMMA resin irradiation back, even be that photochromic polymeric composition form and aspect diversity factor (dL*) effect of main raw material is better than ABS or ABS and PMMA resin mixed material.
See also Fig. 5, the result through the physical property experiment gained learns, and is existing when using the PMMA resin as main raw material (material 1), though it has preferable tensile strength (can reach 680Kg/cm
2), but its unit elongation is not good, only reaches 7%, and impact-resistant intensity is merely 2 through measuring to convert, and in other words, its rigidity is too high but extensibility not enough, and it very easily produces embrittlement, and life cycle is prone to damage because of external force and shortens; Yet when using the MABS resin as main raw material (material 2), it has the rigidity (405Kg/cm of certain degree
2), and its unit elongation can reach 40%, and impact-resistant ability can reach 15 through measuring to convert, and in brief, it has rigidity concurrently and extensibility all can reach certain level, and it difficultly damages because of external force in practical application, and its tensile strength is still in acceptable scope; In material 3 (ABS resin is main) and material 4 (PMMA resin 20% and ABS resin 80%), its tensile strength (423Kg/cm
2And 450Kg/cm
2) with unit elongation (being respectively 20%) obvious decline is arranged all, though more show extensibility than material 1, it is comparatively not enough that the defective of those materials is still extensibility; Can't have preferable extensibility and rigid balancing concurrently; And according to aforementioned, ABS resin is the relatively poor material of transparency, and practical application has its restriction; And the present invention's preferred embodiment (material 5) when using MABS resin (80%) and PMMA resin (20%) as main raw material, does not only have too high rigidity (tensile strength 440Kg/cm
2), and it has preferable unit elongation (extensibility), and its value can reach 50%, and its impact strength can reach 10 through measuring, and not only has crushing resistance concurrently, and it also is difficult for because of the embrittlement problem causes damage, moreover, according to aforementioned, can also have preferable form and aspect diversity factor (dL*) concurrently.
Therefore; The present invention see through with the transparency and mechanical quality preferably MABS resin and black pigment carry out suitable collocation as photochromic polymeric composition, not only have better crushing resistance and ductibility, can also keep certain look change effect; Thereby be convenient to form the preferable literal of effect, pattern etc. on the plastic component surface; And through adding second colorant, allocate required color voluntarily, do not need only to be confined to black or white substrate according to actual demand.
The above is merely embodiments of the invention; Be not so limit claim of the present invention; Every equivalent structure or equivalent flow process conversion that utilizes specification sheets of the present invention and accompanying drawing content to be done; Or directly or indirectly be used in other relevant technical fields, all in like manner be included in the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
