Description

Maleimide copolymer, and chlorine-containing polymer resin composition containing maleimide copolymer and chlorine-containing polymer
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a maleimide copolymer and a chlorine-containing polymer resin composition containing the maleimide copolymer and a chlorine-containing polymer.
Background
Chlorine-containing polymer resins are inexpensive and have excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties, and are used in large quantities for various applications.
However, chlorine-containing polymers have the disadvantage of lacking heat resistance (heat softening temperature), for example when measured by JIS K7206: the Vicat softening temperature measured by the 50 method (load 50N, temperature rise rate 50 ℃/hr) in 1999 is about 82 ℃, and when a stabilizer and a plasticizer are incorporated in usual molding, the softening temperature is further lowered.
As a method for improving heat resistance of chlorine-containing polymer resins, a method of mixing a heat-resistant resin with a chlorine-containing polymer is known (for example, patent documents 1 and 2).

When the amount of the aromatic vinyl monomer unit is less than 50% by mass, the other monomer components contained in the maleimide-based copolymer are relatively increased, and as a result, the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer may not be kneaded without melting, or the Yellowing Index (YI) of the maleimide-based copolymer may become high, whereby the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition and the molded article thereof may be colored, and when it exceeds 90% by mass, the heat resistance of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition may not be sufficiently improved.
(1-2. Vinyl cyanide monomer units)
Examples of the vinyl cyanide monomer unit that can be used in the maleimide-based copolymer according to the present invention include acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, ethacrylonitrile, and fumaronitrile.

The content thereof may be specifically 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25% by mass, or may be within a range of any 2 of the numerical values exemplified herein. When the amount of the vinyl cyanide monomer units is less than 0.5% by mass, the heat resistance of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition may not be sufficiently improved, and when it exceeds 25% by mass, the Yellowness (YI) of the maleimide-based copolymer may become high.
(1-3. Unsaturated acid anhydride monomer Unit)
Examples of the unsaturated acid anhydride monomer unit usable in the maleimide-based copolymer according to the present invention include maleic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, and aconitic anhydride. Among these, maleic anhydride is preferable from the viewpoint of imparting heat resistance to the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition. The unsaturated acid anhydride monomer units may be used alone, or 2 or more kinds may be used in combination.
The maleimide-based copolymer according to the present invention contains the unsaturated acid anhydride monomer unit in an amount of 0 to 10% by mass, preferably 0.3 to 5% by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 5% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the total amount of the aromatic vinyl monomer unit, the vinyl cyanide monomer unit, the unsaturated acid anhydride monomer unit and the maleimide-based monomer unit.

When the amount of the unsaturated acid anhydride monomer unit exceeds 10% by mass, the flowability may be lowered and the kneadability with the chlorine-containing polymer may be lowered.
(1-4. Maleimide monomer units)

Among these, from the viewpoint of imparting heat resistance to the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition, N-arylmaleimide is preferable, and N-phenylmaleimide is more preferable. The maleimide monomer may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more.
In order to incorporate the maleimide-based copolymer with the maleimide-based monomer unit, for example, a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a raw material comprising an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid monomer unit with another monomer with ammonia or a primary amine may be imidized, or a raw material comprising a maleimide-based monomer may be copolymerized with another monomer.
The maleimide-based copolymer according to the present invention contains 5 to 25% by mass of maleimide-based monomer units, preferably 5% by mass or more and less than 25% by mass, more preferably 5 to 24% by mass, and still more preferably 10 to 24% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the total amount of aromatic vinyl-based monomer units, vinyl cyanide-based monomer units, unsaturated acid anhydride monomer units, and maleimide-based monomer units. Specifically, the content may be 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 mass%, or may be within a range between any 2 of the numerical values exemplified herein. When the amount of the maleimide-based monomer unit is less than 5% by mass, the heat resistance of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition may not be sufficiently improved, and when it exceeds 25% by mass, the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer may not be melted and kneaded.
(1-5. Copolymerizable monomer)
The maleimide-based copolymer of the present invention may be obtained by copolymerizing a copolymerizable monomer other than the aromatic vinyl monomer, the vinyl cyanide monomer, the unsaturated acid anhydride monomer unit and the maleimide monomer, within a range not to impair the effects of the present invention.

The amount added is preferably less than 0.2 part by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the whole monomer units. The additives may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more.
(2. Properties of maleimide copolymer)
(2-1. Melt viscosity of Maleimide copolymer)
The melt viscosity of the maleimide-based copolymer of the present invention is 200 to 100000 Pa.sec, preferably 200 to 70000 Pa.sec, and more preferably 500 to 70000 Pa.sec. Specifically, it may be 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 20000, 30000, 40000, 50000, or 100000Pa · sec, or may be within a range of 2 of any of the numerical values exemplified here. When the pressure is less than 200Pa sec, the heat resistance of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition may not be sufficiently improved, and when the pressure exceeds 100000Pa sec, the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer of the mixed resin may not be melt-kneaded.
The melt viscosity was measured by using a capillary rheometer 1D manufactured by toyoyo seiko corporation and a capillary die with L =40mm and D =1 mm.
The melt viscosity of the maleimide-based copolymer can be adjusted by adjusting the mixing ratio of the monomer units constituting the maleimide-based copolymer. For example, the melt viscosity can be increased by increasing the content of the vinyl cyanide monomer unit in the maleimide-based copolymer or increasing the content of the maleimide-based monomer unit in the maleimide-based copolymer. Further, the melt viscosity can be increased by increasing the weight average molecular weight of the maleimide-based copolymer. These adjustment methods may be used in combination. (2-2. Weight-average molecular weight of maleimide copolymer)
The weight average molecular weight of the maleimide-based copolymer of the present invention is 2.5 to 12 ten thousand, preferably 5 to 10 ten thousand. Specifically, it may be 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, or 12 ten thousand, and may be within a range between any 2 of the numerical values exemplified herein. When the weight average molecular weight is less than 2.5 ten thousand, the heat resistance of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition may not be sufficiently improved, and when it exceeds 12 ten thousand, the torque may be increased during kneading of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition.
The weight average molecular weight is a value in terms of polystyrene measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), and can be measured under the following conditions.
Measurement name: SYSTEM-21Shodex (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.)
A chromatographic column: 3 PL gel MIXED-B (manufactured by Polymer Laboratories) were used in series
Temperature: 40 deg.C
The detection mode is as follows: differential refractive index
Solvent: tetrahydrofuran (THF)
Temperature: 2% by mass
And (3) correcting a curve: drawn using a standard Polystyrene (PS) (manufactured by Polymer Laboratories, inc.)
As a method for obtaining a maleimide-based copolymer having a preferred weight average molecular weight (Mw) in the range of 2.5 to 12 ten thousand, there can be mentioned a method of adjusting the polymerization temperature, polymerization time and amount of a polymerization initiator to be added, and a method of adjusting the amount of a solvent to be added and the amount of a chain transfer agent to be added. In addition, a method of reducing the molecular weight of the resulting copolymer by decomposing it is also known.
(3. Preparation of Maleimide copolymer)
The polymerization method of the maleimide-based copolymer is, for example, solution polymerization, bulk polymerization or the like. Solution polymerization is preferable from the viewpoint that the maleimide-based copolymer having a uniform copolymerization component can be obtained by polymerizing the maleimide-based copolymer while adding the maleimide-based copolymer in portions. The solvent for solution polymerization is preferably a non-copolymerizable solvent from the viewpoint of less generation of by-products and less adverse effects. Examples thereof include ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone and acetophenone, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and 1, 4-dioxane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene and chlorobenzene, and N, N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl acetone and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, among which methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone are preferable from the viewpoint of easiness of removing the solvent at the time of recovering the maleimide-based copolymer by devolatilization. The polymerization process may be arbitrarily selected from a continuous polymerization type, a batch type (batch type), and a semi-batch type.
The method for producing the maleimide copolymer is not particularly limited, but it is preferably a method capable of radical polymerization, and the polymerization temperature is preferably in the range of 80 to 150 ℃. The polymerization initiator is not particularly limited, and for example, known azo compounds such as azobisisobutyronitrile, azobiscyclohexanecarbonitrile, azobismethylpropionitrile and azobismethylbutyronitrile, and known organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxybenzoate, 1-bis (t-butylperoxy) -3, 5-trimethylcyclohexane, t-butyl peroxymonocarboxypropyl ester, t-butyl peroxy2-ethylhexanoate, di-t-butyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide and ethyl-3, 3-bis- (t-butylperoxy) butyrate may be used, and 1 kind or 2 or more kinds of these may be used in combination. From the viewpoint of the reaction rate of polymerization or the control of the rate of polymerization, it is preferable to use an azo compound or an organic peroxide having a half-life of 10 hours at 70 to 120 ℃. The amount of the polymerization initiator used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 1.5% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 1.0% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the whole monomer units. The amount of the polymerization initiator used is preferably 0.1% by mass or more because a sufficient polymerization rate can be obtained. If the amount of the polymerization initiator used is 1.5% by mass or less, the reaction can be easily controlled by suppressing the polymerization rate, and the target molecular weight can be easily obtained.
A chain transfer agent may be used in the production of the maleimide-based copolymer. The chain transfer agent to be used is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include n-octyl mercaptan, n-dodecyl mercaptan, t-dodecyl mercaptan, α -methylstyrene dimer, ethyl thioglycolate, limonene, terpinene and the like. The amount of the chain transfer agent to be used is not particularly limited as long as it is within a range in which the target molecular weight can be obtained, but is preferably 0.01 to 0.8% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the whole monomer units. When the amount of the chain transfer agent used is 0.01 to 0.8% by mass, the target molecular weight can be easily obtained.
As a method for introducing the maleimide monomer unit of the maleimide-based copolymer, there can be used a method of copolymerizing a maleimide monomer, an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer (direct method), or a method of copolymerizing an unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride, an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer in advance and then reacting the unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride group with ammonia or a primary amine to convert the unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride group into a maleimide monomer unit (post-imidization method). The post-imidization method is preferred because the amount of the maleimide monomer remaining in the copolymer is small.
Examples of the primary amine used in the post-imidization method include alkylamines such as methylamine, ethylamine, n-propylamine, isopropylamine, n-butylamine, n-pentylamine, n-hexylamine, n-octylamine, cyclohexylamine, and decylamine, and aromatic amines such as chlorine-or bromine-substituted alkylamine, aniline, toluidine, and naphthylamine, and among them, aniline and cyclohexylamine are preferable. These primary amines may be used alone, or 2 or more kinds thereof may be used in combination. The amount of the primary amine to be added is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.7 to 1.1 molar equivalents, and more preferably 0.85 to 1.05 molar equivalents, relative to the unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride group. It is preferable that the molar equivalent of the monomer unit is 0.7 or more relative to the unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride monomer unit in the maleimide copolymer, because the thermal stability is good. When the amount is 1.1 molar equivalent or less, the amount of the primary amine remaining in the maleimide-based copolymer is reduced, and therefore, it is preferable.
When a post-imidization method is used to introduce the maleimide monomer units, a catalyst may be used. The catalyst can improve the dehydration ring-closing reaction in the reaction of ammonia or primary amine with unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride group, especially in the reaction of converting unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride group into maleimide group. The kind of the catalyst is not particularly limited, but tertiary amines can be used. Examples of the tertiary amine include, but are not particularly limited to, trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, N-dimethylaniline and N, N-diethylaniline. The amount of the tertiary amine added is preferably not less than 0.01 molar equivalent to the unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride group, although not particularly limited. The temperature of the imidization reaction in the present invention is preferably 100 to 250 ℃. More preferably 120 to 200 ℃. When the temperature of the imidization reaction is 100 ℃ or higher, the reaction rate is sufficiently high, and it is preferable from the viewpoint of productivity. It is preferable that the temperature of the imidization reaction is 250 ℃ or lower because the deterioration of the physical properties due to the thermal deterioration of the maleimide-based copolymer can be suppressed.
As a method for removing volatile components such as a solvent used in the solution polymerization and unreacted monomers from the solution after the completion of the solution polymerization or the solution after the completion of the post-imidization of the maleimide-based copolymer (devolatilization method), a known method can be used. For example, a vacuum devolatilization tank with a heater or a devolatilization extruder with an exhaust port may be used. The devolatilized maleimide-based copolymer in a molten state may be transferred to a pelletizing step, extruded into strands from a porous die, and then processed into pellets by a cold cutting method, an in-air hot cutting method, an underwater hot cutting method, or the like.
When the chlorine-containing polymer is in the form of a powder, the maleimide-based copolymer of the present invention is preferably also pulverized into a powder before use. The pulverization method is not particularly limited, and a known pulverization technique can be used. Suitable crushing devices include turbine mill crushers, turbine disc mill crushers, turbine cutter crushers, jet mill crushers, impact crushers, hammer crushers, vibratory crushers, and the like.
(4. Chlorine-containing Polymer)
The chlorine-containing polymer in the present invention is a polymer obtained by polymerizing vinyl chloride alone or a mixture of vinyl chloride and 1 or more monomers copolymerizable therewith, and a chlorine addition polymer obtained by further adding chlorine element to the polymer thus obtained. The chlorine-containing polymer may further contain a compound of the polymer thus obtained and a chlorine addition polymer. Examples of the copolymerizable monomer include vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate, acrylates such as methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate, methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate, fumarates such as butyl malate and diethyl malate, vinyl ethers such as vinyl methyl ether, vinyl butyl ether and vinyl octyl ether, cyanides such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile, α -olefins such as ethylene and propylene, styrenes such as styrene, α -methylstyrene, vinyl toluene, t-butyl styrene and chlorostyrene and their substitutes, vinylidene halides other than vinyl chloride such as vinylidene chloride and vinyl bromide, and phthalates such as vinyl dihalides or vinyl halides and diallyl phthalate.
The chlorine-containing polymer is preferably polyvinyl chloride obtained by polymerizing vinyl chloride, from the viewpoint of affinity with the maleimide-based copolymer.
The average polymerization degree of the chlorine-containing polymer is 680 to 1900, preferably 700 to 1700. When the average polymerization degree is 680 or more, the maleimide-based copolymer is uniformly dispersed, and when it is 1900 or less, the kneading property with the maleimide-based copolymer is excellent.
(4-1. Production of chlorine-containing Polymer)
The method of polymerization of the chlorine-containing polymer is not particularly limited, and may be conventionally known bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization, or the like.
(5. Chlorine-containing polymer resin composition comprising maleimide copolymer and chlorine-containing polymer)
The blending ratio of the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer in the present invention is preferably 5 to 50% by mass of the maleimide-based copolymer and 50 to 95% by mass of the chlorine-containing polymer, more preferably 5 to 30% by mass of the maleimide-based copolymer and 70 to 95% by mass of the chlorine-containing polymer. When the blending ratio of the maleimide copolymer is adjusted to 5% by mass or more, a sufficient heat resistance-imparting effect can be obtained, and when the blending ratio is adjusted to 50% by mass or less, the deterioration of releasability at the time of kneading can be suppressed.
(5-1. Additive for chlorine-containing Polymer resin composition)
The chlorine-containing polymer resin composition of the present invention may contain an additive as described below, and may actually be an additive composed of a maleimide-based copolymer and a chlorine-containing polymer, within a range not affecting the effect of the present invention.
If necessary, a reinforcing agent, a processability improver, a heat stabilizer, a lubricant, a plasticizer, or the like may be further added singly or in combination to the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition of the present invention.
As other additives, light-resistant stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, pigments, dyes, and the like may be optionally added.
(5-2. Production of chlorine-containing Polymer resin composition)
The method for obtaining the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition of the present invention by kneading and mixing the maleimide copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer is not particularly limited, and a known melt kneading technique can be used. Suitable melt kneading apparatuses include screw extruders such as single-screw extruders, intermeshing-type co-rotating or intermeshing-type counter-rotating twin-screw extruders, non-intermeshing or incomplete intermeshing twin-screw extruders, banbury mixers, ram extruders, and mixing rolls. Further, a plurality of these extruders may be used in combination.
The extruder is composed of a kneading section for melt-kneading the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer and at least 1 devolatilization section. The maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer supplied to the extruder were first melted in the kneading section and kneaded to form a uniform composition. The kneading section may be composed of a known kneading element such as a kneading disk. In the downstream of the kneading section, an element having a push-back action of pushing back the molten resin to the upstream side is used, and from the viewpoint of kneading property, it is preferable to fill the kneading section with the molten resin. Examples of such elements include a reverse lead full-screw type, a reverse shift type, and a seal ring.
The chlorine-containing polymer resin composition can be molded by a known method. Examples thereof include injection molding, sheet extrusion molding, vacuum molding, blow molding, foam molding, profile extrusion molding, and the like. In molding, the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition is usually heated to 170 to 200 ℃ and then processed, and 190 to 200 ℃ is preferred. The formed product can be used for gutters, air-conditioning pipeline covers, factory pipelines, pipes, joints, sprinkler pipelines, window frames, industrial products and the like.
(5-3. Maximum Torque at the time of melt kneading of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition)
When extrusion molding of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition is performed, it is advantageous in melt kneading to keep the maximum torque of the chlorine-containing polymer resin composition low during melt kneading. As an index, for example, the maximum torque at the time of adding 20 parts by mass of the maleimide-based copolymer to 100 parts by mass of the chlorine-containing polymer and melt-kneading the mixture can be used. The preferable range of the maximum torque at the time of melt kneading varies depending on the actual conditions and extrusion molding conditions, and for example, a laboratory plastic mill (4C 150, mixer model R60) manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisaku-Sho K.K. is used, and the value of the maximum torque measured at 190 ℃ under the conditions of a filling amount of 60.0g and 60rpm is preferably 50 N.m or less.

The vicat softening temperature is based on JIS K7206:1999 50 method (load: 50N, heating rate: 50 ℃/hr), using a test piece 20 mm. Times.20 mm, thickness: 4 mm. The HDT & VSPT test apparatus manufactured by the toyo seiko corporation was used as the measuring apparatus.
(yellowness (YI))
Measured according to JIS K-7373. The specific procedure is as follows.
1g of maleimide copolymer was dissolved in 25mL of tetrahydrofuran. After dissolution, it was transferred to a square cell for assay. The color difference was determined by using a CIE standard D65 light source under conditions of a temperature of 23 ℃ and a humidity of 50% using a transmission method with a square pool of tetrahydrofuran solution as a blank, and the value was defined as the yellowness.
Device name: SE7700 spectrocolorimeter (manufactured by Nippon Denshoku industries Co., ltd.)
A square pool: A02277A 10X 36X 55H double-sided transmission type square pool
(maximum Torque)
The maximum torque of each example and comparative example was measured as follows.
20 parts by mass of the maleimide-based copolymers in the examples and comparative examples were added to 80 parts by mass of a chlorine-containing polymer (TH-1000, manufactured by Taiyo Vinyl Corporation) to which additives such as a stabilizer and a lubricant were previously added and mixed by a Henschel mixer. In melt-kneading the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer, the maximum torque (kneading torque, in N · m) in kneading was measured by a laboratory plastic mill (model 4C150, mixer model R60, manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisaku-Sho K.K.) under the conditions of a filling amount of 60.0g, a temperature of 190 ℃ and a rotation speed of 60 rpm.
When the value of the maximum torque is low, melt kneading is facilitated, and therefore extrusion molding can be appropriately performed.

In examples 1 to 6 (using the chlorine-containing polymer resin compositions using the maleimide-based copolymers according to the present invention), the heat resistance of the chlorine-containing polymer was sufficiently improved. Further, the yellowness of the maleimide-based copolymer to be used is controlled to a low level, whereby the coloring of the resin composition and the molded article thereof can be suppressed. Further, the maximum torque at the time of melt-kneading the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer is suppressed to a low level. It is expected that extrusion molding of the molded article can be carried out without any problem.
In contrast, in comparative examples 1 to 10 (using the chlorine-containing polymer resin compositions not satisfying the maleimide-based copolymer specified in the present invention), the heat resistance of the chlorine-containing polymer may not be sufficiently improved. Further, the maleimide-based copolymer to be used has a high yellowness, and there is a possibility that the resin composition and the molded article thereof are colored. Further, the maleimide-based copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer are not melted and cannot be kneaded, and therefore the maximum torque may become high during melt kneading.
Industrial applicability
The present invention provides a maleimide copolymer which can provide a chlorine-containing polymer resin composition having improved heat resistance of a chlorine-containing polymer and suppressed coloration, a chlorine-containing polymer resin composition containing the maleimide copolymer and the chlorine-containing polymer, and a molded article thereof. It is suitable for use in molded articles requiring heat resistance and appearance properties such as gutters and air-conditioning duct covers. The chlorine-containing polymer resin composition of the present invention is also suitable for extrusion molding.
