Description

本発明は、化学、医療、電子材料分野等に使用される均一粒子径の樹脂微粒子の製造方法、樹脂微粒子及び樹脂微粒子の製造装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing resin fine particles having a uniform particle diameter used in the fields of chemistry, medicine, electronic materials, and the like, a resin fine particle, and a resin fine particle production apparatus.

従来より、樹脂微粒子を作製する方法としては、懸濁重合法が知られている。この方法は、攪拌機を備えた反応槽に分散安定剤を溶解した水性媒体を仕込み、攪拌しながら重合開始剤を溶解させた重合性単量体を投入、加熱することにより樹脂微粒子を得る方法である。しかし、この方法では得られる樹脂微粒子の粒子径分布は広く、カラム充填材、スペーサー、トナー、発泡体の原料等の粒子径の均一性が要求される用途では、分級等の分別操作が必要となり非常に煩雑であった。 Conventionally, a suspension polymerization method is known as a method for producing resin fine particles. This method is a method in which an aqueous medium in which a dispersion stabilizer is dissolved is charged into a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, and a polymerizable monomer in which a polymerization initiator is dissolved is charged while stirring and heated to obtain resin fine particles. is there. However, with this method, the particle size distribution of the resin fine particles obtained is wide, and in applications that require uniform particle size, such as column fillers, spacers, toners, and foam raw materials, classification operations such as classification are required. It was very complicated.

これに対して、特許文献1には、層流特性を持つ重合性単量体流を機械的振動を与えることにより小さな液滴に砕き、これを連続相中で重合槽に移動させ、加熱により重合する方法が開示されている。しかしながら、この方法に記載されている装置では、重合性単量体開口部が複数であるため実際には各々から同じ流量で吐出することは困難であり、流量のバラツキが生じることから、これを同じ機械的周波数で分裂させた液滴はその容量すなわち大きさにバラツキが生じる。従って、このような装置では、分裂状態を充分に把握できないため、分裂不良が起こった際にそれを回避しにくく、最終的な樹脂微粒子の粒子径の均一性を損なうことがあった。また、この装置には液滴の生成状態や、液滴の粒子径をチェックする機構がないため、作製条件の変動等により粒子径の均一性が損なわれてもそのまま作製を続行してしまうため、得られる樹脂微粒子の均一性が悪いという問題点があった。

On the other hand, in Patent Document 1, a polymerizable monomer stream having laminar flow characteristics is broken into small droplets by applying mechanical vibration, moved to a polymerization tank in a continuous phase, and heated. A method of polymerizing is disclosed. However, in the apparatus described in this method, since there are a plurality of polymerizable monomer openings, it is actually difficult to discharge from each of them at the same flow rate. Droplets that are split at the same mechanical frequency have variations in volume or size. Therefore, in such an apparatus, since the split state cannot be sufficiently grasped, it is difficult to avoid the occurrence of a split failure, and the uniformity of the particle diameter of the final resin fine particles may be impaired. In addition, since this device does not have a mechanism for checking the state of droplet generation or the particle size of the droplet, the production will continue even if the uniformity of the particle size is impaired due to fluctuations in the production conditions, etc. There is a problem that the uniformity of the resin fine particles obtained is poor.

本発明の樹脂微粒子の製造方法では、上記連続相中に上記分散相として重合性単量体からなる液体を吐出し、機械的振動を与えることにより重合性単量体からなる液体を分裂させて液滴を形成する。例えば、上記重合性単量体からなる液滴をノズルやオリフィス等の開口部より層流になるような条件で上記連続相中に吐出すると、上記開口部付近で重合性単量体の液柱が形成される。この液柱に機械的振動を与えることにより液柱に表面波を与えると、液柱が変形し、くびれが生じて、その部分から分裂して液滴が形成される。この液滴形成の様子を図1に示した。振動の周波数に従ってくびれ部分が発生するので、単位時間あたりの流量を周波数で除した値から液滴1個の容量を算出することができる。 In the method for producing resin fine particles of the present invention, a liquid composed of a polymerizable monomer is discharged as the dispersed phase into the continuous phase, and the liquid composed of the polymerizable monomer is disrupted by applying mechanical vibration. Form droplets. For example, when a droplet made of the polymerizable monomer is discharged into the continuous phase under the condition that the liquid drops are laminar from an opening such as a nozzle or an orifice, a liquid column of the polymerizable monomer is formed in the vicinity of the opening. Is formed. When a surface wave is applied to the liquid column by applying mechanical vibration to the liquid column, the liquid column is deformed, constricted, and split from the portion to form a droplet. The state of this droplet formation is shown in FIG. Since a constricted portion is generated according to the frequency of vibration, the volume of one droplet can be calculated from the value obtained by dividing the flow rate per unit time by the frequency.

本発明の樹脂微粒子の製造方法では、上記重合性単量体からなる液体が分裂して液滴になる状態、即ち、重合性単量体の液柱から液滴が形成する瞬間を認識し、その結果を前記重合性単量体からなる液体の吐出条件及び/又は機械振動条件にフィードバックする。 In the method for producing resin fine particles of the present invention, the liquid consisting of the polymerizable monomer is split into droplets, that is, the moment when the droplets are formed from the polymerizable monomer liquid column, The result is fed back to the discharge condition and / or the mechanical vibration condition of the liquid composed of the polymerizable monomer.

上記液体が分裂して液滴になる状態を認識する手段としては特に限定されないが、例えば、高速な液滴形成の状態を静止状態で捉えるのに充分な高速のシャッタースピードで撮影可能なカメラ、又は、このようなカメラとストロボ照明とを組み合わせる方法等が好ましい。また、微小な液滴を視認可能な大きさに拡大するために、上記カメラには拡大撮影装置が装着されることが好ましく、上記カメラでとらえた画像はディスプレイ等で表示され認識しやすくすることが好ましい。 The means for recognizing the state in which the liquid breaks up into droplets is not particularly limited.For example, a camera capable of photographing at a high shutter speed sufficient to capture a high-speed droplet formation state in a stationary state, Alternatively, a method of combining such a camera and strobe illumination is preferable. Further, in order to enlarge a minute droplet to a size that can be visually recognized, it is preferable that the camera is equipped with an enlargement photographing device, and an image captured by the camera is displayed on a display or the like so as to be easily recognized. Is preferred.

上記フィードバックとしては、例えば、液滴が図1に示すように正常に生成するか否かを確認し、異常が生じた場合その状況により生成条件を調整したり、場合によっては生成を中止したりすることを言う。異常の例として図2に示すようなものがあり、この場合のフィードバックの例としては、与える機械的振動の振幅を大きくしてくびれを生じさせ、液滴が分裂するように調整する。このようなフィードバックを行うことにより、均一な粒子径を有する樹脂微粒子を製造することができる。 As the feedback, for example, it is confirmed whether or not the droplet is normally generated as shown in FIG. 1, and if an abnormality occurs, the generation condition is adjusted depending on the situation, or the generation is stopped in some cases. Say to do. An example of the abnormality is shown in FIG. 2, and as an example of feedback in this case, the amplitude of the mechanical vibration to be applied is increased to cause squeezing and the droplet is adjusted to break up. By performing such feedback, resin fine particles having a uniform particle diameter can be produced.

本発明の樹脂微粒子の製造方法では、形成された重合性単量体の液滴を、液滴が分裂、合着しない状態で重合を行うことにより樹脂微粒子を得ることができる。上記液滴が合着しない状態にする方法としては、例えば、連続相に分散安定剤を添加する方法等が挙げられる。上記液滴を分裂しない状態にする方法としては、例えば、液滴に過剰な機械的剪断力がかからないよう連続相を緩やかに攪拌する方法等が挙げられる。このような状態で、加熱又は活性光を照射することにより重合性単量体を重合させる。 In the method for producing resin fine particles of the present invention, resin fine particles can be obtained by polymerizing the formed droplets of polymerizable monomer in a state where the droplets are not split or coalesced. Examples of the method for preventing the droplets from coalescing include a method of adding a dispersion stabilizer to the continuous phase. Examples of the method for preventing the droplets from breaking up include a method of gently stirring the continuous phase so that excessive mechanical shearing force is not applied to the droplets. In such a state, the polymerizable monomer is polymerized by heating or irradiating active light.

また、形成された液滴の粒子径を測定し、その結果を前記重合性単量体からなる液体の吐出条件及び/又は機械振動条件にフィードバックすることによっても、均一な粒子径を有する樹脂微粒子を製造することができる。 Also, the resin fine particles having a uniform particle diameter can be obtained by measuring the particle diameter of the formed droplets and feeding back the result to the liquid discharge conditions and / or mechanical vibration conditions comprising the polymerizable monomer. Can be manufactured.

連続相中に、分散相として重合性単量体からなる液体を吐出し、機械的振動を与えることにより重合性単量体からなる液体を分裂させて液滴を形成し、液滴が分裂、合着しない状態で重合することにより樹脂微粒子を製造する方法であって、形成された液滴の粒子径を測定し、その結果を重合性単量体からなる液体の吐出条件及び/又は機械振動条件にフィードバックする樹脂微粒子の製造方法もまた、本発明の1つである。 In the continuous phase, a liquid composed of a polymerizable monomer is discharged as a dispersed phase, and a liquid composed of a polymerizable monomer is formed by applying mechanical vibrations to form droplets. A method of producing resin fine particles by polymerizing in a non-bonded state, measuring the particle diameter of the formed droplets, and determining the result of the discharge conditions and / or mechanical vibration of a liquid composed of a polymerizable monomer A method for producing resin fine particles that feed back to conditions is also one aspect of the present invention.

上記液滴の粒子径を測定する方法としては特に限定されず、例えば、分散相中で形成された液滴の画像をコンピュータに取り込んで計測する方法等が挙げられる。その際に計測される液滴は、液滴状態であれば特に限定されない。具体的には、例えば、上述のカメラにより撮影された画像をコンピュータに取り込み、画像解析ソフトウエアにより形成された液滴の粒子径を測定することができる。得られた測定値を演算処理し、平均値や標準偏差等の値を求め、この結果から液滴の粒子径を調整するようにフィードバックする。上記フィードバックとしては、例えば、コンピュータから、又は、シーケンサーを介して制御信号を機械的振動を与える装置又は重合性単量体の吐出を調整する装置等に送ることにより制御する。例えば、粒子径が大きすぎる場合には、機械的振動の周波数を上げたり、重合性単量体の吐出量を下げたりすることで調整し、粒子径が小さすぎる場合にはその逆を行うことで調整を行う。 The method for measuring the particle diameter of the droplet is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method of measuring an image of a droplet formed in a dispersed phase by taking it into a computer. The droplets measured at that time are not particularly limited as long as they are in a droplet state. Specifically, for example, an image photographed by the above-described camera can be taken into a computer, and the particle diameter of a droplet formed by image analysis software can be measured. The obtained measurement values are processed, values such as average values and standard deviations are obtained, and feedback is performed so as to adjust the particle diameter of the droplets from the results. The feedback is controlled, for example, by sending a control signal from a computer or via a sequencer to a device that applies mechanical vibration or a device that adjusts the discharge of the polymerizable monomer. For example, if the particle size is too large, adjust by increasing the frequency of mechanical vibration or decreasing the discharge amount of the polymerizable monomer, and vice versa if the particle size is too small Adjust with.

本発明の樹脂微粒子の製造方法によれば、非常に均一な粒子径を有する樹脂微粒子を得ることができる。本発明の樹脂微粒子の製造方法により製造された樹脂微粒子であって、平均粒子径が10〜3000μmであり、かつ、80%以上が平均粒子径の±10%の範囲内に含まれる樹脂微粒子もまた、本発明の1つである。 According to the method for producing resin fine particles of the present invention, resin fine particles having a very uniform particle diameter can be obtained. Resin fine particles produced by the method for producing resin fine particles of the present invention, wherein the average particle size is 10 to 3000 μm, and 80% or more is contained within a range of ± 10% of the average particle size Moreover, it is one of the present inventions.

ここで本発明の樹脂微粒子の粒子径の好ましい下限を10μm、好ましい上限を3000μmとしたのは、このような粒子径を有する樹脂微粒子は、懸濁重合での作製が困難であるため、本発明の樹脂微粒子の製造方法が特に有効となる範囲であるからである。本発明の樹脂微粒子が、平均粒子径の±10%の範囲内に含まれる樹脂微粒子が80%未満であると、粒子径が不均一になり、分別工程が必要になることがある。 Here, the preferable lower limit of the particle diameter of the resin fine particles of the present invention is 10 μm, and the preferable upper limit is 3000 μm, because the resin fine particles having such particle diameters are difficult to produce by suspension polymerization. This is because the method for producing resin fine particles is in a particularly effective range. When the resin fine particles of the present invention are contained in a range of ± 10% of the average particle diameter of less than 80%, the particle diameter becomes non-uniform and a separation step may be required.

本発明の樹脂微粒子の製造方法を実施するための製造装置は、少なくとも、分散容器、分散容器内に開口しており分散媒中に重合性単量体からなる液体を吐出する噴出口、分散媒中に噴出された重合性単量体からなる液体に機械的振動を与える手段、及び、形成される液滴を撮影する撮影装置を有することが好ましい。 The production apparatus for carrying out the method for producing resin fine particles of the present invention includes at least a dispersion container, a jet opening for discharging a liquid composed of a polymerizable monomer into the dispersion medium, and a dispersion medium. It is preferable to have a means for applying mechanical vibration to the liquid composed of the polymerizable monomer ejected inside and a photographing device for photographing the formed droplet.

このような分散容器、分散容器内に開口しており液状分散媒中に重合性単量体からなる液体を吐出する噴出口、液状分散媒中に噴出された重合性単量体からなる液体に機械的振動を与える手段、及び、形成される液滴を撮影する撮影装置を有する樹脂微粒子の製造装置もまた、本発明の1つである。 Such a dispersion container, a jet opening for discharging a liquid composed of a polymerizable monomer into a liquid dispersion medium that is open in the dispersion container, and a liquid composed of a polymerizable monomer ejected into the liquid dispersion medium. A resin fine particle manufacturing apparatus having a means for applying mechanical vibration and a photographing device for photographing a formed droplet is also one aspect of the present invention.

上記分散容器としては特に限定されないが、液滴の形成状態をCCDカメラ等で撮影することや液滴形成後の反応を考慮して、透明で100℃程度の加熱に耐えられるものが好ましい。このような分散容器としては、例えば、ガラス製の丸形や筒形のセパラブルフラスコ容器等が挙げられる。 The dispersion container is not particularly limited, but is preferably a transparent container that can withstand heating at about 100 ° C. in consideration of photographing the formation state of the liquid droplets with a CCD camera or the like and the reaction after the liquid droplets are formed. Examples of such a dispersion container include a glass round or cylindrical separable flask container.

上記噴出口は、上記分散容器内に開口しており液状分散媒中に重合性単量体からなる液体を吐出するものである。上記噴出口の開口部の形状としては、円が好ましく、開口部の流路形状は円筒状又は円錐台状が好ましい。上記噴出口の材質としては、分散相、連続相の成分によって侵されず、化学的に影響されないものが好ましく、例えば、ステンレス、テフロン(登録商標)等が挙げられる。 The said jet nozzle is opened in the said dispersion | distribution container, and discharges the liquid which consists of a polymerizable monomer in a liquid dispersion medium. The shape of the opening of the jet port is preferably a circle, and the flow path shape of the opening is preferably cylindrical or frustoconical. The material of the jet outlet is preferably a material that is not affected by the components of the dispersed phase and continuous phase and is not chemically affected. Examples thereof include stainless steel and Teflon (registered trademark).

なお、上記噴出口は特に限定されないが、1つであることが好ましい。噴出口を複数個並設すると、各噴出口からの重合性単量体の噴出量にばらつきを生じ、加振されて生成される液滴の大きさが不均一となるとともに、液滴が重なって明確な映像の撮影が困難となることがある。 In addition, although the said jet nozzle is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is one. When a plurality of jet outlets are arranged side by side, the amount of the polymerizable monomer ejected from each jet outlet varies, and the size of the droplets generated by vibration becomes uneven and the droplets overlap. It may be difficult to capture clear images.

上記噴出口から上記重合性単量体を吐出する方法としては特に限定されず、例えば、ポンプ等により送液する方法等が挙げられる。上記ポンプとしては、脈動の少ないものが好ましく、回転数により流量が制御し易いギヤポンプが好適に用いられる。上記ポンプとしてプランジャーポンプを用いる場合には、整流装置を併用することが必要である。また、噴出口に配管によって接続された単量体容器に圧縮空気を送入して単量体を容器から押出し、流量調整弁を用いて定量を送出するようにしてもよい。 The method for discharging the polymerizable monomer from the ejection port is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method for feeding liquid by a pump or the like. As the pump, a pump with less pulsation is preferable, and a gear pump whose flow rate is easily controlled by the number of rotations is preferably used. When a plunger pump is used as the pump, it is necessary to use a rectifier together. Alternatively, compressed air may be fed into a monomer container connected to the jet port by piping to extrude the monomer from the container, and a fixed amount may be sent out using a flow rate adjustment valve.

上記機械的振動を与える手段としては特に限定されず、例えば、振動子を噴出口を支持する部材に接続して機械的に振動させる方法;規則的な振動数を有する電気信号を発生する発振器に接続されたピストンにより生ずる往復運動を単量体又は分散媒に伝える方法等が挙げられる。なかでも、直接噴出口を支持する部材を振動させる方法が好ましい。機械振動を発生させる方法としては、例えば、ファンクションジェネレータを用いて振動を発生し、これを増幅器により増幅し、振動子に供給する方法等が挙げられる。上記振動子としては、外部からの信号により周波数、振幅が調整可能なものが好ましい。 The means for applying the mechanical vibration is not particularly limited. For example, the vibrator is mechanically vibrated by connecting the vibrator to a member that supports the jet outlet; the oscillator that generates an electrical signal having a regular frequency is used. For example, a method of transmitting the reciprocating motion generated by the connected piston to the monomer or the dispersion medium may be used. Among these, a method of vibrating the member that directly supports the jet nozzle is preferable. As a method of generating mechanical vibration, for example, there is a method of generating vibration using a function generator, amplifying this using an amplifier, and supplying the vibration to a vibrator. As the vibrator, a vibrator whose frequency and amplitude can be adjusted by an external signal is preferable.
