Description

Thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring process and molded article comprising the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring and a molded article comprising the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring, which exhibits good characteristics in terms of plating reliability, impact resistance, flowability, and the like, and a molded article comprising the same.
Background
A Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) process may be used to form a metal layer on at least part of the surface of a molded article produced from the thermoplastic resin composition. The LDS process refers to a process of modifying a plating target area on the surface of a molded article to have characteristics suitable for plating by irradiating the plating target area with a laser beam. For this reason, the thermoplastic resin composition needs to contain an additive for laser direct structuring (LDS additive) which can form a metal core when irradiated with a laser beam. The LDS additive is decomposed to produce metal nuclei. Furthermore, the area irradiated with the laser beam has a rough surface. Due to such metal nuclei and surface roughness, the laser modified region becomes suitable for electroplating.
The LDS process allows for the rapid and economical formation of electronic/electrical circuits on three-dimensional molded articles. For example, the LDS process may be advantageously used to manufacture antennas for portable electronic devices, radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antennas, and the like.
In recent years, with the increasing trend of weight and thickness reduction of portable equipment devices, there has been an increasing demand for thermoplastic resin compositions which can exhibit excellent mechanical properties and molding processability (flowability). Further, as the thickness of fine patterns (plating areas) of an electric/electronic circuit such as a portable electronic device or the like becomes thin, there may be a problem in that plating reliability is deteriorated due to plating peeling.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring, which exhibits good properties in terms of plating reliability, impact resistance, flowability, and the like, and a molded article comprising the same.
The background art of the present invention is disclosed in korean patent laid-open publication No. 2011-0018319, etc.

(A) Polycarbonate resin
The polycarbonate resin according to an embodiment of the present invention may be selected from any polycarbonate resin used in a typical thermoplastic resin composition. For example, the polycarbonate resin may be an aromatic polycarbonate resin prepared by reacting diphenol (aromatic diol compound) with a precursor such as phosgene, halogen formate, carbonate diester, etc.
In some embodiments, diphenols may include, for example, 4' -diphenol, 2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, 2, 4-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -2-methylbutene, 1-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) cyclohexane, 2-bis (3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, and 2, 2-bis- (3, 5-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, but are not limited thereto.

In addition, the polycarbonate resin may be partially or completely replaced by an aromatic polyester-carbonate resin (obtained by polymerization in the presence of an ester precursor, such as a difunctional carboxylic acid).
In some embodiments, the polycarbonate resin may have a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 10,000g/mol to about 200,000g/mol, for example, about 15,000g/mol to about 80,000g/mol, as measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). Within this range, the thermoplastic resin composition may have good flowability (processability).
(B) Glycol modified polyester resin
According to the present invention, the glycol-modified polyester resin is used together with the maleic anhydride-modified olefin copolymer and the specific phosphate compound to improve the plating reliability, impact resistance, flowability, etc. of the thermoplastic resin composition for laser direct structuring, and may be a glycol-modified polyester resin containing about 20mol% to about 100mol% of 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol based on the total mole number of the glycol component.

Here, the laser beam means light amplified by analog emission (analog emission light), and may be UV light having a wavelength of about 100nm to about 400nm, visible light having a wavelength of about 400nm to about 800nm, or Infrared (IR) light having a wavelength of about 800nm to about 25,000nm, for example, IR light having a wavelength of about 1,000nm to about 2,000 nm.
In some embodiments, the LDS additive may include heavy metal composite oxide spinel and/or copper salts.
In some embodiments, the heavy metal composite oxide spinel may be represented by formula 1.
AB 2 O 4
In formula 1, a is a metal cation having a valence of 2, for example, magnesium, copper, cobalt, zinc, tin, iron, manganese, nickel, and combinations thereof, and B is a metal cation having a valence of 3, for example, manganese, nickel, copper, cobalt, tin, titanium, iron, aluminum, chromium, and combinations thereof.
In the heavy metal composite oxide spinel represented by formula 1, a provides a monovalent cation component of a metal oxide cluster and B provides a monovalent cation component of a metal cation cluster. For example, the metal oxide cluster including a may have a tetrahedral structure and the metal oxide cluster including B may have an octahedral structure. Specifically, the heavy metal composite oxide spinel represented by formula 1 may have such a structure: wherein oxygen atoms are arranged in a cubic close-packed lattice and B and a occupy octahedral and tetrahedral sites, respectively, in the lattice.

Basic copper phosphate is a compound in which copper phosphate is combined with copper hydroxide, and may include Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ·2Cu(OH) 2 、Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ·Cu(OH) 2 Etc. As an additive, basic copper phosphate does not affect the color reproduction characteristics of the colorant, and thus allows molded articles having a desired color to be easily obtained.
In some embodiments, the LDS additive may have an average particle size of about 0.01 μm to about 50 μm, for example, about 0.1 μm to about 30 μm, specifically about 0.5 μm to about 10 μm. Within this range, the LDS additive is capable of forming a uniform coating surface by laser direct structuring. As used herein, unless specifically stated otherwise, the term "average particle size" refers to D50 (diameter at 50% distribution) as the number average particle size.
In some embodiments, the LDS additive may be present in an amount of about 0.5 parts by weight to about 15 parts by weight, for example, about 1 part by weight to about 15 parts by weight, relative to about 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin. If the content of the LDS additive is less than about 0.5 parts by weight with respect to about 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin, a sufficient amount of metal nuclei is not formed in the coating layer during irradiation of the thermoplastic resin composition (molded article) with the laser beam, resulting in deterioration of plating adhesion, and if the content of the LDS additive exceeds about 15 parts by weight, the thermoplastic resin composition may suffer deterioration in impact resistance and heat resistance.
