DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition having excellent impact resistance. More specifically, the present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition having excellent impact resistance, comprising a thermoplastic resin and a block copolymer containing a methacrylic polymer and an acrylic polymer.

2. Description of the Related Art Thermoplastic resins are generally used in various fields, but when sufficient performance cannot be obtained with a single resin alone, a technique of using the resin in combination with another resin has been attempted. . In particular, they are often used in combination with a polymer material having an elastomeric property for the purpose of improving impact resistance. A polymer material used for such a purpose is called an impact modifier.

For example, vinyl chloride resins include chlorinated polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer (MBS resin), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS resin), butyl Acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer, methacrylic resin, butyl acrylate-styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymer, etc., polycarbonate resin, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS resin), butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate An acrylate copolymer, etc., and a composition in which a prebutylene terephthalate resin is combined with an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS resin), an epoxy-modified ethylene-propylene copolymer, etc. It has been draft, example that is commercially available often. Among such impact modifiers, methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer (MBS resin), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS resin), butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer Is a copolymer obtained by graft polymerization (forming a shell portion) of a vinyl monomer in the presence of crosslinked rubber particles (forming a core portion), and is called a core-shell type graft copolymer because of its particle structure. And is useful as an impact modifier. Among such core-shell type graft copolymers, the MBS resin and the ABS resin copolymerized with butadiene have a problem in weather resistance because unsaturated double bonds remain in the polymer main chain. Therefore, when weather resistance is required, a butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer is very often selected. However, although such a core-shell type graft copolymer is useful as an impact modifier, it may have a problem in molding fluidity and the like because it has a crosslinked structure.

On the other hand, it is known that a block copolymer in which a hard segment and a soft segment (rubber component) are combined can be used as a composition in combination with a thermoplastic resin. Examples of such a block copolymer include a styrene-butadiene copolymer, a styrene-isoprene copolymer, and hydrogenated polymers thereof (styrene-ethylene-butylene copolymer, styrene-ethylene-propylene copolymer, respectively). (Called coalescence) is widely used. When such a block copolymer is used, in general, a composition having an excellent balance of impact resistance, rigidity, and molding fluidity can be obtained, but the thermoplastic resin to be combined is a polystyrene resin, a polyolefin resin, a polyphenylene ether. It is limited to those having low polarity such as resin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic resin composition having excellent impact resistance.

The method for producing the block copolymer (b) is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use controlled polymerization. Examples of the controlled polymerization include living anionic polymerization, radical polymerization using a chain transfer agent, and recently developed living radical polymerization. Living radical polymerization is preferred in terms of controlling the molecular weight and structure of the block copolymer.

Living radical polymerization is radical polymerization in which the activity of the polymerization terminal is maintained without loss. In a narrow sense, living polymerization refers to polymerization in which the terminal always has activity, but generally includes pseudo-living polymerization in which the terminal is inactivated and the activated one is in an equilibrium state. . The definition in the present invention is also the latter. Living radical polymerization has been actively studied in recent years by various groups. Examples thereof include those using a chain transfer agent such as polysulfide, and cobalt porphyrin complexes (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 1).
16, 7943) and those using a radical scavenger such as a nitroxide compound (Macromolecules,
1994, 27, 7228), atom transfer radical polymerization using an organic halide as an initiator and a transition metal complex as a catalyst (Atom Transfer Radical P
polymerization (ATRP). In the present invention, which method to use is not particularly limited, but atom transfer radical polymerization is preferred from the viewpoint of easy control.

In the atom transfer radical polymerization, an organic halide or a sulfonyl halide compound is used as an initiator, and a metal complex having a central metal of Group 8, 9, 10, or 11 of the periodic table as a catalyst is used as a catalyst. Is done. (See, eg, Matyjaszewski et al., J. Am. Che.
m. Soc. 1995, 117, 5614, Macro

issue 1996, 272, 866, or Sa
Wamoto et al., Macromolecules 199.
5, 28, 1721). According to these methods, the polymerization rate is generally very high, and although the termination polymerization such as coupling between radicals is likely to occur, the polymerization proceeds in a living manner and the molecular weight distribution is narrow.
Thus, a polymer having a ratio of / Mn of about 1.1 to 1.5 is obtained, and the molecular weight can be freely controlled by the charging ratio of the monomer and the initiator.

In the atom transfer radical polymerization method, as an organic halide or a sulfonyl halide compound used as an initiator, a monofunctional, difunctional or polyfunctional compound can be used. These may be properly used depending on the purpose, but when a diblock copolymer is produced, a monofunctional compound is preferable, and an ABA-type triblock copolymer and a BAB-type It is preferable to use a bifunctional compound when producing a triblock copolymer, and it is preferable to use a polyfunctional compound when producing a branched block copolymer.

When an organic halide or a sulfonyl halide compound having a functional group other than the one which initiates the polymerization is used, a polymer having a functional group introduced at a terminal can be easily obtained. Examples of such a functional group include an alkenyl group, a hydroxyl group, an epoxy group, an amino group, an amide group, and a silyl group.

In the organic halides or halogenated sulfonyl compounds which can be used as these initiators, the carbon to which the halogen is bonded is bonded to a carbonyl group or a phenyl group, and the carbon-halogen bond is activated. Polymerization starts. The amount of the initiator to be used may be determined from the ratio with the monomer in accordance with the required molecular weight of the block copolymer. That is, the molecular weight of the block copolymer can be controlled by how many molecules of the monomer are used per one molecule of the initiator.

The transition metal catalyst used as the catalyst for the atom transfer radical polymerization is not particularly limited, but preferred are monovalent and zero-valent copper, divalent ruthenium, divalent iron and divalent nickel. Complexes. Among these, a copper complex is preferred from the viewpoint of cost and reaction control.

As the monovalent copper compound, for example, cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide, cuprous iodide, cuprous cyanide,
Examples include cuprous oxide and cuprous perchlorate. When using a copper compound, 2,2'-
Bipyridyl and its derivatives, 1,10-phenanthroline and its derivatives, and polyamines such as tetramethylethylenetriamine (TMEDA), pentamethyldiethylenetriamine and hexamethyl (2-aminoethyl) amine may be added as ligands. Also, 2
Tristriphenylphosphine complex of trivalent ruthenium chloride (RuCl ₂ (PPh ₃ ) ₃ ) is also preferred as a catalyst.
When a ruthenium compound is used as a catalyst, aluminum alkoxides may be added as an activator.
Further, bis (triphenylphosphine) complex of divalent iron (FeCl ₂ (PPh ₃ ) ₂ ) and bistriphenylphosphine complex of divalent nickel (NiCl ₂ (PP
h ₃ ) ₂ ) and bistributylphosphine complex of divalent nickel (NiBr ₂ (PBu ₃ ) ₂ ) are also preferred as the catalyst. The amounts of the catalyst, ligand and activator to be used are not particularly limited, but may be appropriately determined from the relationship between the amounts of the initiator, monomer and solvent used and the required reaction rate.

The atom transfer radical polymerization can be carried out without solvent (bulk polymerization) or in various solvents. Examples of the solvent include hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene and toluene; ether solvents such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran; halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene chloride and chloroform; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone. Alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol and t-butanol; nitrile solvents such as acetonitrile, propionitrile and benzonitrile; ester solvents such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; ethylene Carbonate,
And carbonate-based solvents such as propylene carbonate. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. As described above, when the reaction is carried out in the absence of a solvent, a bulk polymerization results.
