Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は光拡散性積層樹脂板、特に曲げ弾性率が高く、面衝撃性に優れた光拡散性積層樹脂板に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、メタクリル酸メチル系樹脂やスチレン系樹脂に光拡散性を付与するために、基材となるメタクリル酸メチル系樹脂やスチレン系樹脂の屈折率と異なる屈折率を持った無機や高分子材料の微粒子を添加することが行われている。
このようにして得られた光拡散板は、照明カバーや照明看板やディスプレイ前面板等に多く用いられている。
これらの光拡散板の用途によっては、耐衝撃性、特に面衝撃性が必要とされるものもあり、通常の光拡散板では割れやすくて使えないこともあった。
面衝撃性を向上させるために、例えば特許文献1〔特開平8−198976号公報〕には、光拡散板にゴム成分を含有させる技術が開示されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
近年では、特に照明カバーの分野において、光拡散材料を高延伸倍率で成形することが多くなってきている。また、成形技術の進歩によりコーナー部の張り出しが大きくなり、板厚もそれほど厚くならないため、輸送時や組み立て時に照明カバーが破損する問題があった。
特許文献1〔特開平8−198976号公報〕に記載の光拡散板において、面衝撃性を大幅に向上させるためには、多量のゴム成分を含有させる必要性があり、コスト面で不利になる上に、材料の曲げ弾性率が下がってしまい大型の成形品には適さないという欠点がある。
【0005】
そこで、光拡散性と優れた面衝撃性を併せ持った樹脂板について鋭意検討した結果、光拡散剤を分散した樹脂層と特定の耐衝撃成分を分散した樹脂層を積層一体化することによって、光拡散性と高い面衝撃性及び曲げ弾性を付与できることを見出し、本発明に至った。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち本発明は、メタクリル酸メチル系樹脂またはスチレン系樹脂100重量部とゴム状重合体0〜30重量部からなる基材樹脂100重量部に対して、重量平均粒子径1〜10μmの光拡散剤を0.1〜10重量部均一分散させた樹脂層(A)の少なくとも片面に、メタクリル酸メチル系樹脂またはスチレン系樹脂100重量部にゴム状重合体を3〜70重量部均一分散させ、実質的に無機粒子を分散していない樹脂層(B)を積層一体化してなり、樹脂層(B)のゴム状重合体の分散量が、樹脂層(A)のゴム状重合体の分散量よりも多い光拡散性積層樹脂板である。
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明におけるメタクリル酸メチル系樹脂とは、その構成単位としてメタクリル酸メチル単位を50重量%以上含有するものであり、メタクリル酸メチル単位を50重量%以上含有する限り、その一部がメタクリル酸メチルと共重合可能な単官能の不飽和単量体単位で置き換えられたものであってもよい。
【0008】
メタクリル酸メチルと共重合可能な単官能不飽和単量体としては、例えば、メタクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸ブチル、メタクリル酸シクロヘキシル、メタクリル酸フェニル、メタクリル酸ベンジル、メタクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル、メタクリル酸2−ヒドロキシエチル等のメタクリル酸エステル類;アクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、アクリル酸ブチル、アクリル酸シクロヘキシル、アクリル酸フェニル、アクリル酸ベンジル、アクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル、アクリル酸2−ヒドロキシエチル、等のアクリル酸エステル類、メタクリル酸、アクリル酸などの不飽和酸類;スチレン、α−メチルスチレン、アクリロニトリル、メタクリロニトリル、無水マレイン酸、フェニルマレイミド、シクロヘキシルマレイミド等が挙げられる。
また、この共重合体には、無水グルタル酸単位、グルタルイミド単位をさらに含んでいてもよい。
【0009】
スチレン系樹脂とは、スチレン単位を50重量%以上含有するものであり、スチレン単位を50重量%以上含有する限り、その一部がスチレンと共重合可能な単官能の不飽和単量体単位で置き換えられたものであってもよい。
【0010】
スチレンと共重合可能な単官能不飽和単量体としては、メタクリル酸メチルの他、スチレンを除いた前述の単量体が挙げられる。
【0011】
本発明におけるゴム状重合体とは、アクリル系多層構造重合体、または5〜80重量部のゴム状重合体にエチレン性不飽和単量体なかでもアクリル系不飽和単量体95〜20重量部をグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体などである。
アクリル系多層構造重合体は、ゴム弾性の層またはエラストマーの層を20〜60重量部を内在させるものであって、最外には硬質層を有するもので、最内層として硬質層をさらに含む構造のものでもよい。
【0012】
ゴム弾性の層またはエラストマーの層とは、ガラス転移点(Tg)が25℃未満のアクリル系重合体の層であり、低級アルキルアクリレート、低級メタクリレート、低級アルコキシアクリレート、シアノエチルアクリレート、アクリルアミド、ヒドロキシ低級アルキルアクリレート、ヒドロキシ低級メタクリレート、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等のモノエチレン性不飽和単量体の1種以上を多官能単量体で架橋させた重合体からなる。
多官能単量体とは、先述のモノエチレン性不飽和単量体と共重合可能で共役ジエンを除くものである。
例えば、1,4−ブタンジオールジ(メタ)アクリレート、ネオペンチルグリコールジ(メタ)アクリレートのようなアルキルジオールジ(メタ)アクリレート類;エチレングリコールジ(メタ)アクリレート、ジエチレングリコールジ(メタ)アクリレート、テトラエチレングリコールジ(メタ)アクリレート、プロピレングリコールジ(メタ)アクリレート、テトラプロピレングリコールジ(メタ)アクリレートのようなアルキレングリコールジ(メタ)アクリレート類;ジビニルベンゼン、ジアリルフタレートのような芳香族多官能化合物;トリメチロールプロパントリ(メタ)アクリレート、ペンタエリスリトールテトラ(メタ)アクリレートのような多価アルコールの(メタ)アクリレート類やアリルメタクリレート等が挙げられる。
これらの単量体については二種類以上併用してもよい。
【0013】
硬質層とは、Tgが25℃以上のアクリル系重合体の層であり、炭素数1〜4個のアルキル基を有するアルキルメタクリレートを単独または主成分とし、他のアルキルメタクリレートやアルキルアクリレート、スチレン、置換スチレン、アクリロニトリル、メタクリロニトリル等の共重合可能な単官能単量体の重合体からなり、さらに多官能単量体を加えて重合させた架橋重合体でも構わない。例えば特許文献2〔特公昭55−27576号公報〕または特許文献3〔特開平6−80739号公報〕や特許文献4〔特開昭49−23292号公報〕に記載のものが該当する。
【0014】
5〜80重量部のゴム状重合体にエチレン性不飽和単量体を95〜20重量部グラフト重合したグラフト共重合体において、ゴム状重合体としては、例えば、ポリブタジエンゴム、アクリロニトリル/ブタジエン共重合体ゴム、スチレン/ブタジエン共重合体ゴムなどのジエン系ゴム、ポリブチルアクリレート、ポリプロピルアクリレート、ポリ−2−エチルヘキシルアクリレートなどのアクリル系ゴム、およびエチレン/プロピレン/非共役ジエン系ゴム等を用いることができる。
このゴム状重合体にグラフト共重合するのに用いられるエチレン性不飽和単量体およびそれらの混合物としては、スチレン、アクリロニトリル、アルキル(メタ)アクリレートなどが挙げられる。
これらのグラフト共重合体としては、特許文献5〔特開昭55−147514号公報〕や特許文献6〔特公昭47−9740号公報〕に記載のものを用いることができる。
【0015】
樹脂層(A)へのゴム状重合体の分散割合は、メタクリル酸メチル系またはスチレン系樹脂100重量部に対して、0〜30重量部、好ましくは3〜20重量部である。30重量部を超えると材料の曲げ弾性率が低下してくる。
【0016】
本発明における光拡散剤とは、基材となるメタクリル酸メチル系またはスチレン系樹脂の屈折率と屈折率の異なる無機系または有機系の透明微粒子である。
例えば、炭酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウム、酸化チタン、水酸化アルミニウム、シリカ、硝子、タルク、マイカ、ホワイトカーボン、酸化マグネシウム、酸化亜鉛等の無機粒子およびこれら無機粒子に表面処理を施したものや、架橋または高分子量スチレン系樹脂粒子、架橋または高分子量アクリル系樹脂粒子、架橋シロキサン系樹脂粒子等の樹脂粒子が挙げられる。
【0017】
本発明の光拡散剤の屈折率は、基材となる樹脂の屈折率との差の絶対値が0.02〜0.13であることが好ましい。0.02未満であると適度な光拡散性を付与させるには多量の粒子添加が必要となり、0.13を超えると透過率の高い材料を作製する際に隠蔽性が悪くなる傾向がある。
【0018】
光拡散剤の粒子径は重量平均で1〜10μmであり、2〜7μmが特に好ましい。1μm未満であると隠蔽性が低下し、10μmを超えると適度な光拡散性を出すために多量の光拡散剤を分散させる必要がある上に板の面衝撃性も低下させる。
【0019】
これらの光拡散剤を単独または2種以上を組み合わせて、樹脂層(A)におけるゴム状重合体を含む基材樹脂100重量部に対して0.1〜10重量部分散させる。0.1重量部未満であると光拡散性が十分でなく、10重量部を超えると板の面衝撃性が低下する。
【0020】
本発明の樹脂層(B)に分散させるゴム状重合体の量は、メタクリル酸メチル系またはスチレン系樹脂100重量部に対して、3〜70重量部であるが、樹脂層(A)よりも多く分散させた方が面衝撃性向上効果が大きく発現する。
樹脂層(A)と樹脂層(B)に分散させるゴム状重合体の比率は1:1.1〜1:20程度が好ましい。
樹脂層(B)に分散させるゴム状重合体の量が3重量部より少ないと面衝撃性効果が発現しにくく、70重量部を超えると材料の表面が柔らかくなり、運搬時や加工時に傷つきやすくなる。
【0021】
基本的に樹脂層(A)、樹脂層(B)には、前述の材料の他に、染料、光安定剤、紫外線吸収剤、酸化防止剤、離型剤、難燃剤、帯電防止剤等、各層の樹脂に相溶しうる周知の添加剤を添加しても特に問題は無く、また機能性付与は1種だけでなく2種以上組み合わせることも可能である。
【0022】
ただし、樹脂層(B)に分散させる材料において、該層に無機粒子を混在させることは避けなければならない。
この無機粒子としては、光拡散性や艶消し性、剛性や耐熱性を付与するために添加されるものであり、具体的には、炭酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウム、酸化チタン、水酸化アルミニウム、シリカ、硝子、タルク、マイカ、ホワイトカーボン、酸化マグネシウム、酸化亜鉛、ガラス中空体、カーボンファイバー、グラスファイバー等が挙げられる。
これらの無機粒子は機能性付与のために樹脂層(A)に分散させることは可能であるが、樹脂層(B)にこれらの無機粒子を少しでも分散させてしまうと面衝撃性は大きく低下してしまう。ここでいう実質的に分散していないとは、ゴム状重合体を含む基材樹脂100重量部に対して、無機粒子の量が0.1重量部以下のことをいう。
【0023】
最近の光拡散材料は照明カバーに代表されるように板表面が艶消し状態になっていることが多く、本発明における光拡散性積層樹脂板においても艶消し化は十分可能である。
艶消し化は、押出成形においては艶を消失させたい樹脂層に特定の大きさの不溶樹脂粒子を特定量均一分散させて押出したり、積層一体化した後に凹凸をロール転写したり、鋳込み重合においては艶消し層(面)作製時に凹凸をセル転写することにより達成される。
【0024】
ここでいう不溶樹脂粒子とは、該樹脂粒子を分散している樹脂層と近似した組成の樹脂粒子であり、具体的には樹脂層がメタクリル酸メチル系樹脂の場合は架橋または高分子量メタクリル酸メチル系樹脂粒子、樹脂層がスチレン系の場合は架橋または高分子量スチレン系樹脂粒子である。
ここで樹脂層と不溶樹脂粒子の組成が大きく異なると、面衝撃性を低下させるおそれがあるので、組み合わせには十分な注意が必要である。
【0025】
樹脂層表面に施す凹凸はJIS−B0601に記載の十点平均粗さ(Rz)で50μm未満であることが望ましい。不溶樹脂粒子を分散させる場合は、重量平均粒子径10〜50μmのものを、ゴム状重合体を含む基材樹脂100重量部に対して3〜20重量部均一に分散させると押出成形後に前述の凹凸レベルとなる。
【0026】
十点平均粗さが50μmを超えると、面に荷重がかかった場合にノッチ効果で割れやすくなる。
不溶樹脂粒子の粒径や分散量についても前述の値の範囲を超えた場合、これも面衝撃性を低下させる。
【0027】
本発明における積層樹脂板の厚みは特に制限されないが、概ね0.1〜10mmの範囲である。
また、層厚比率〔樹脂層(A)/樹脂層(B)〕は、99/1〜1.1/1の範囲である。樹脂層(B)が樹脂層(A)の両表層を被覆している場合は、層厚比率〔樹脂層(B)/樹脂層(A)/樹脂層(B)〕は、1/198/1〜1/2.2/1の範囲である。
【0028】
メタクリル酸メチル系やスチレン系樹脂にゴム状重合体や光拡散剤を分散させた組成物とするには、周知の方法が適用できる。つまりこれらをヘンシェルミキサー、タンブラー等で機械的に混合し、バンバリーミキサーや一軸または二軸の押出機で溶融混練する方法がある。さらには後述の共押出成形方法やキャスト重合法を用いて一段で積層樹脂板とすることも可能である。
【0029】
得られた組成物を積層樹脂板とするには、周知の方法を用いる。例えば、共押出成形法、貼合法、熱接着法、溶剤接着法、重合接着法、キャスト重合法、表面塗装法等を用いる。
【0030】
共押出成形法は、2〜3基の一軸、二軸の押出機で樹脂層(A)、樹脂層(B)の組成物を溶融混練した後、フィードブロックダイやマルチマニホールドダイを介して積層する方法であり、積層一体化された溶融樹脂板をロールユニットを用いて冷却固化し積層樹脂板を得る。
【0031】
貼合法は、組成物の一方をシートまたはフィルム加工して作製しておき、他方の層を押出成形により溶融状態の樹脂層とし、両層を重ねあわせ押し付けて貼りあわせる方法である。
熱接着法は、あらかじめ両層の組成物をシートまたはフィルム加工し、両層の軟化点よりも高い温度でプレスして一体化する方法である。
【0032】
溶剤接着法は、組成物の両方をシートまたはフィルム加工し、いずれか一方の層または両層の樹脂を溶解する溶剤によって該層表面に接着性を付与して接着し一体化するものである。
重合接着法としては、両層を構成する樹脂のいずれかの原料である単量体あるいは部分重合体に、熱または光によってラジカル重合を開始する重合開始剤を添加した重合接着剤を両層の間に介在させ、加熱または光照射を行うことにより重合と同時に両者を積層一体化するものである。
【0033】
キャスト重合法としては、あらかじめ一方の層をシートまたはフィルム化しておき、これをキャスト成形用のセルの一面に設置しておき、このセルにもう一方の層を形成する単量体または部分重合体と必要に応じたゴム状重合体と光拡散剤の混合物を注入し重合させる方法である。
【0034】
表面塗装法は、あらかじめ厚みの大きい方の層のシートまたはフィルムを作成しておき、この上に他方の層を形成する単量体または部分重合体と必要に応じた添加剤の混合物を塗布し、加熱や紫外線照射により重合固化させる方法である。
【0035】
【発明の効果】
本発明の光拡散性積層樹脂板は、光拡散性と面衝撃性を併せ持っており、また剛性度も高く保持された材料である。
該積層樹脂板は、光拡散性、面衝撃性、高い曲げ弾性率が要求される照明カバー、ディスプレイの光拡散板、照明看板等に好適に用いられる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a light-diffusing laminated resin plate, particularly to a light-diffusing laminated resin plate having a high flexural modulus and excellent surface impact properties.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in order to impart light diffusivity to a methyl methacrylate resin or a styrene resin, an inorganic or polymer material having a refractive index different from that of the base material methyl methacrylate resin or the styrene resin is used. Addition of fine particles has been performed.
The light diffusing plate thus obtained is widely used for a lighting cover, a lighting signboard, a display front plate, and the like.
Depending on the use of these light diffusion plates, impact resistance, particularly surface impact resistance, is required, and ordinary light diffusion plates are easily broken and cannot be used.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In recent years, especially in the field of lighting covers, the light diffusing material is often molded at a high stretching ratio. In addition, there is a problem that the lighting cover is damaged at the time of transportation or assembling because the overhang of the corner portion is increased and the plate thickness is not so increased due to the advance of the molding technique.
In the light diffusion plate described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-198976), it is necessary to contain a large amount of a rubber component in order to greatly improve the surface impact, which is disadvantageous in cost. On the other hand, there is a disadvantage that the flexural modulus of the material is lowered and is not suitable for large-sized molded products.
[0005]
Therefore, as a result of intensive studies on a resin plate having both light diffusing properties and excellent surface impact properties, a resin layer in which a light diffusing agent has been dispersed and a resin layer in which a specific impact resistant component has been dispersed have been laminated and integrated. The present inventors have found that diffusibility, high surface impact properties, and bending elasticity can be imparted, and have reached the present invention.
[0006]

[0007]

[0010]
Examples of the monofunctional unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with styrene include the above-mentioned monomers excluding styrene, in addition to methyl methacrylate.
[0011]
The rubbery polymer in the present invention refers to an acrylic multi-layer structure polymer, or 95 to 20 parts by weight of an acrylic unsaturated monomer among ethylenically unsaturated monomers to 5 to 80 parts by weight of a rubbery polymer. And a graft copolymer obtained by graft-polymerizing the above.
The acrylic multi-layer structure polymer contains 20 to 60 parts by weight of a rubber elastic layer or an elastomer layer, has a hard layer on the outermost side, and further includes a hard layer as the innermost layer. It may be.
[0012]
The rubber elastic layer or the elastomer layer is a layer of an acrylic polymer having a glass transition point (Tg) of less than 25 ° C., and includes lower alkyl acrylate, lower methacrylate, lower alkoxy acrylate, cyanoethyl acrylate, acrylamide, and hydroxy lower alkyl. It is composed of a polymer obtained by crosslinking at least one kind of monoethylenically unsaturated monomer such as acrylate, hydroxy lower methacrylate, acrylic acid and methacrylic acid with a polyfunctional monomer.
The polyfunctional monomer is one that can be copolymerized with the above-mentioned monoethylenically unsaturated monomer and excludes a conjugated diene.

For example, those described in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-27576), Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-80739), and Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 49-23292) correspond.
[0014]
In a graft copolymer obtained by graft-polymerizing 95 to 20 parts by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer to 5 to 80 parts by weight of a rubbery polymer, examples of the rubbery polymer include polybutadiene rubber and acrylonitrile / butadiene copolymer. Use of diene rubber such as coalesced rubber, styrene / butadiene copolymer rubber, acrylic rubber such as polybutyl acrylate, polypropyl acrylate, and poly-2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and ethylene / propylene / non-conjugated diene rubber. Can be.
Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated monomers and their mixtures used for graft copolymerization with the rubbery polymer include styrene, acrylonitrile, alkyl (meth) acrylate, and the like.
As these graft copolymers, those described in Patent Document 5 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-147514) and Patent Document 6 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-9740) can be used.
[0015]
The dispersion ratio of the rubbery polymer in the resin layer (A) is 0 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 3 to 20 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the methyl methacrylate or styrene resin. If it exceeds 30 parts by weight, the flexural modulus of the material decreases.
[0016]
The light diffusing agent in the present invention is an inorganic or organic transparent fine particle having a refractive index different from that of a methyl methacrylate or styrene resin as a base material.
For example, inorganic particles such as calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, titanium oxide, aluminum hydroxide, silica, glass, talc, mica, white carbon, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide and the like, and those obtained by subjecting these inorganic particles to surface treatment, crosslinking or Resin particles such as high molecular weight styrene resin particles, crosslinked or high molecular weight acrylic resin particles, crosslinked siloxane resin particles, and the like.
[0017]
The refractive index of the light diffusing agent of the present invention is preferably 0.02 to 0.13 in absolute value of the difference from the refractive index of the resin as the base material. If it is less than 0.02, it is necessary to add a large amount of particles in order to impart a suitable light diffusing property, and if it exceeds 0.13, the concealing property tends to be deteriorated when producing a material having a high transmittance.
[0018]
The particle diameter of the light diffusing agent is 1 to 10 μm on a weight average, and particularly preferably 2 to 7 μm. If it is less than 1 μm, the concealing property is reduced, and if it is more than 10 μm, a large amount of light diffusing agent needs to be dispersed in order to obtain an appropriate light diffusing property, and the surface impact property of the plate also decreases.
[0019]
These light diffusing agents are used alone or in combination of two or more, and are dispersed in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin containing the rubbery polymer in the resin layer (A). If the amount is less than 0.1 part by weight, the light diffusing property is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, the surface impact property of the plate decreases.
[0020]
The amount of the rubbery polymer dispersed in the resin layer (B) of the present invention is 3 to 70 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the methyl methacrylate-based or styrene-based resin. The more the particles are dispersed, the more the effect of improving the surface impact is exhibited.
The ratio of the rubbery polymer dispersed in the resin layer (A) and the resin layer (B) is preferably about 1: 1.1 to 1:20.
When the amount of the rubbery polymer dispersed in the resin layer (B) is less than 3 parts by weight, the surface impact effect is hardly exhibited, and when the amount exceeds 70 parts by weight, the surface of the material becomes soft and easily damaged during transportation or processing. Become.
[0021]
Basically, in addition to the above-mentioned materials, the resin layer (A) and the resin layer (B) include dyes, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, release agents, flame retardants, antistatic agents, and the like. There is no particular problem even if a well-known additive that is compatible with the resin of each layer is added, and the function may be imparted not only in one kind but also in combination of two or more kinds.
[0022]
However, in the material dispersed in the resin layer (B), it is necessary to avoid mixing inorganic particles in the layer.
As the inorganic particles, light diffusing property and matting property, added to impart rigidity and heat resistance, specifically, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, titanium oxide, aluminum hydroxide, silica, Examples include glass, talc, mica, white carbon, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, hollow glass, carbon fiber, and glass fiber.
These inorganic particles can be dispersed in the resin layer (A) for imparting functionality, but if these inorganic particles are dispersed in the resin layer (B) even a little, the surface impact property is greatly reduced. Resulting in. Here, “not substantially dispersed” means that the amount of the inorganic particles is 0.1 part by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of the base resin containing the rubbery polymer.
[0023]
Recent light-diffusing materials often have a matte surface as typified by a lighting cover, and the light-diffusing laminated resin plate of the present invention can be sufficiently matted.
Matting is performed by extruding a specific amount of insoluble resin particles uniformly dispersed in a resin layer that wants to lose gloss in extrusion molding, extruding, laminating and integrating, and then transferring rolls, and casting polymerization. Is achieved by transferring the irregularities to the cell during the preparation of the matte layer (surface).
[0024]
The insoluble resin particles herein are resin particles having a composition similar to that of the resin layer in which the resin particles are dispersed. Specifically, when the resin layer is a methyl methacrylate-based resin, crosslinked or high molecular weight methacrylic acid is used. When the resin layer is a styrene resin, it is a crosslinked or high molecular weight styrene resin particle.
Here, if the composition of the resin layer and that of the insoluble resin particles are significantly different from each other, there is a possibility that the surface impact properties may be reduced.
[0025]
The irregularities formed on the surface of the resin layer are desirably less than 50 μm in ten-point average roughness (Rz) described in JIS-B0601. When dispersing the insoluble resin particles, the resin having a weight average particle diameter of 10 to 50 μm is uniformly dispersed in an amount of 3 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin containing the rubbery polymer, and the above-described method is used after extrusion molding. It becomes the unevenness level.
[0026]
If the ten-point average roughness exceeds 50 μm, the surface tends to break due to the notch effect when a load is applied.
When the particle size and the amount of dispersion of the insoluble resin particles also exceed the ranges described above, this also lowers the surface impact properties.
[0027]
The thickness of the laminated resin plate in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is generally in the range of 0.1 to 10 mm.
The layer thickness ratio [resin layer (A) / resin layer (B)] is in the range of 99/1 to 1.1 / 1. When the resin layer (B) covers both surface layers of the resin layer (A), the layer thickness ratio [resin layer (B) / resin layer (A) / resin layer (B)] is 1/198 / It is in the range of 1 to 1/2/2/1.
[0028]
A well-known method can be applied to a composition in which a rubbery polymer or a light diffusing agent is dispersed in a methyl methacrylate or styrene resin. That is, there is a method in which these are mechanically mixed with a Henschel mixer, a tumbler or the like, and are melt-kneaded with a Banbury mixer or a single-screw or twin-screw extruder. Furthermore, it is also possible to form a laminated resin plate in one step by using a coextrusion molding method or a cast polymerization method described later.
[0029]
In order to make the obtained composition into a laminated resin plate, a known method is used. For example, a coextrusion molding method, a laminating method, a thermal bonding method, a solvent bonding method, a polymerization bonding method, a cast polymerization method, a surface coating method, or the like is used.
[0030]
In the coextrusion molding method, the composition of the resin layer (A) and the resin layer (B) is melt-kneaded by a two or three uniaxial or twin-screw extruder, and then laminated via a feed block die or a multi-manifold die. In this method, the laminated and integrated molten resin plate is cooled and solidified using a roll unit to obtain a laminated resin plate.
[0031]
The bonding method is a method in which one of the compositions is prepared by processing a sheet or film, the other layer is formed into a molten resin layer by extrusion molding, and the two layers are overlapped and pressed to be bonded.
The heat bonding method is a method in which the composition of both layers is processed into a sheet or film in advance, and pressed at a temperature higher than the softening point of both layers to integrate them.
[0032]
In the solvent bonding method, both of the compositions are processed into a sheet or a film, and a solvent that dissolves the resin of one or both of the layers imparts adhesiveness to the surface of the layer to bond and integrate the layers.
As the polymerization bonding method, a polymerization adhesive obtained by adding a polymerization initiator that initiates radical polymerization by heat or light to a monomer or a partial polymer, which is a raw material of a resin constituting both layers, is used for both layers. By interposing them between them and performing heating or light irradiation, they are laminated and integrated at the same time as polymerization.
[0033]
In the cast polymerization method, one layer is formed into a sheet or film in advance, this is placed on one side of a cell for cast molding, and a monomer or partial polymer forming the other layer in this cell is formed. And if necessary, a mixture of a rubbery polymer and a light diffusing agent is injected and polymerized.
[0034]
In the surface coating method, a sheet or film of a layer having a larger thickness is prepared in advance, and a mixture of a monomer or a partial polymer forming the other layer and an additive as necessary is applied thereon. This is a method of polymerizing and solidifying by heating or irradiation with ultraviolet rays.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】

The laminated resin plate is suitably used for a lighting cover, a light diffusing plate of a display, a signboard for a display, etc., which require light diffusing property, surface impact property, and high flexural modulus.
