Description

  The present invention relates to a resin composition mainly composed of an aromatic polyester and polycarbonate having improved breakdown resistance.

  Thermoplastic aromatic polyester resins represented by polybutylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as PET) have mechanical strength, chemical resistance and electrical insulation properties. Because of its excellent electrical characteristics, it is widely used for electricity, electronic parts, automobile parts and other machine parts. However, since the aromatic polyester resin is inferior in dielectric breakdown resistance compared to polyamide 6 and polyamide 66, its use is limited in application fields where load voltage is high (however, polyamide resin is electrically insulated by water absorption). There is a problem that the performance decreases. In addition, due to the recent trend of downsizing electronic devices, parts themselves are also becoming thinner, and as a result, the insulation distance is reduced, and further improvement in the dielectric breakdown resistance of molded products is desired.

  As an attempt to improve dielectric breakdown resistance, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of blending polyester with polypropylene, polypropylene modified with a specific epoxy compound, and glass fiber. Polypropylene modified with a specific epoxy compound is generally used. It was not good and was expensive.

  In addition, when an aromatic polyester resin such as PBT is blended with an inorganic filler such as glass fiber, anisotropy occurs in the molded product, and in order to obtain a molded product with excellent dimensional accuracy, the molded product shape, There were significant restrictions on the injection molding conditions. In addition, there is a problem that the filler floats on the surface of the molded product and obstructs the appearance of the molded product.

  Next, Patent Document 2 describes (A) polybutylene terephthalate resin 40 to 80% by weight and (B) aromatic polycarbonate resin 20 to 60% by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the blend (A) + (B). (C) A thermoplastic resin composition comprising 5 to 30 parts by weight of a polyethylene terephthalate resin and (D) 5 to 50 parts by weight of a filler is disclosed. By blending an aromatic polycarbonate with a filler-reinforced PBT, It has been shown that dimensional stability can be improved and the occurrence of warpage in the molded product can be reduced. However, there is no description about dielectric breakdown.

  By the way, an aromatic polyester resin and an aromatic polycarbonate resin are generally produced using raw materials derived from petroleum resources. However, in recent years, there has been a concern about the depletion of petroleum resources, and there is a need to provide plastics that use raw materials obtained from biomass resources such as plants even in a way that takes into account this concern. In addition, it is feared that global warming due to the increase and accumulation of carbon dioxide emissions will lead to climate change, etc., so that carbon-neutral plant-derived monomers are used as raw materials even after disposal after use. There is a similar need for the development of plastic materials.

  Conventionally, it has been proposed to use isosorbide as a plant-derived monomer and obtain a polycarbonate by transesterification with diphenyl carbonate (for example, see Patent Document 3). However, the polycarbonate obtained is brown and is not satisfactory. Further, as a copolymerized polycarbonate of isosorbide and other dihydroxy compounds, a polycarbonate obtained by copolymerizing bisphenol A has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 4), and further by copolymerizing isosorbide and an aliphatic diol. Attempts have been made to improve the rigidity of homopolycarbonate composed of isosorbide (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

  On the other hand, many polycarbonates obtained by polymerizing 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol which is an alicyclic dihydroxy compound have been proposed (for example, Patent Documents 6 and 7). The molecular weight of these polycarbonates is as low as about 4000 at most. Therefore, many of them have a low glass transition temperature.

Thus, although the polycarbonate polymer using isosorbide has been proposed, these documents disclose only the glass transition temperature and the basic mechanical properties described above, and the above-mentioned aromatic polyester. There is no disclosure about the properties of the alloy with the resin.

  In view of the situation as described above, environmental and resource conservation has been improved as much as possible, and at the same time, the electrical insulation performance due to water absorption does not deteriorate like polyamide resin, and the dielectric breakdown resistance, dimensional accuracy, and surface appearance have been improved. It is to provide a resin composition.

  In view of the above problems, the present inventors conducted extensive studies to improve such properties, and as a result, the dielectric breakdown resistance was improved by blending the aromatic polyester resin with a polycarbonate containing isosorbide, which is a specific plant-derived monomer. It has been found that the composition obtained by blending an inorganic filler is excellent in dielectric breakdown resistance, dimensional accuracy (or anisotropy), and surface appearance, and has completed the present invention.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. However, the description of the constituent elements described below is an example (representative example) of an embodiment of the present invention. It is not limited to the contents.

(A) Aromatic polyester resin The (A) aromatic polyester resin used in the present resin composition is composed of at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and the like as a diol component. Is mainly composed of an aromatic polyester composed of at least one aliphatic diol such as ethylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, hexamethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol and the like. Among these, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate and the like having a high crystallization speed are preferable in terms of moldability. The aromatic polyester may be one obtained by substituting a part of the above-mentioned polyester with a copolymer component. Examples of the copolymer component include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid; alkyl substitution such as methyl terephthalic acid and methyl isophthalic acid. Phthalic acids; naphthalene dicarboxylic acids such as 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 2,7-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 1,5-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid; 4,4′-diphenyl dicarboxylic acid, 3,4′-diphenyl dicarboxylic acid, etc. Diphenyl dicarboxylic acids; aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as 4,4'-diphenoxyethanedicarboxylic acid and other diphenoxyethanedicarboxylic acids, succinic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, decanedicarboxylic acid, cyclohexanedicarboxylic acids, etc. Aliphatic or alicyclic dicarboxylic acids; 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanoic Dihydroxybenzenes such as hydroquinone and resorcin; bisphenols such as 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -propane and bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -sulfone; bisphenols and ethylene glycol And aromatic diols such as ether diols obtained from glycols such as: oxycarboxylic acids such as ε-oxycaproic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid and hydroxyethoxybenzoic acid.

  Furthermore, as a branching component to the above-mentioned aromatic polyester, an acid having a polyfunctional ester-forming ability such as trimesic acid, trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid or a polyfunctional ester-forming ability such as glycerin, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, etc. You may copolymerize the alcohol which has 1.0 mol% or less, Preferably it is 0.5 mol% or less, More preferably, it is 0.3 mol% or less.

  The intrinsic viscosity of the aromatic polyester used in the resin composition is 0.5 to 1.5 dl / g, and more preferably 0.6 to 1.3 dl / g. If it is less than 0.5, sufficient characteristics cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 1.5, the melt viscosity is high, the fluidity is lowered, and the moldability is impaired. Here, the intrinsic viscosity is a value measured in a mixed solvent of phenol / tetrachloroethane (weight ratio 1/1) at 30 ° C. The terminal carboxyl group concentration is 80 eq / ton or less, more preferably 40 eq / ton. If the terminal carboxyl group concentration is more than 80 eq / ton, the reaction with the polycarbonate tends to proceed and the moldability is remarkably deteriorated.

  The above-mentioned aromatic polyester can be produced by a usual production method, for example, a melt polycondensation reaction or a method combining this with a solid phase polymerization reaction. For example, a production example of polybutylene terephthalate will be described. In the presence of a catalyst, terephthalic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof (for example, a lower alkyl ester such as dimethyl ester or monomethyl ester) and tetramethylene glycol or an ester-forming derivative thereof are used. It can be produced by a method in which the reaction is conducted by heating, and then the resulting glycol ester of terephthalic acid is polymerized to a predetermined degree of polymerization in the presence of a catalyst.

(B) Polycarbonate The polycarbonate used in the resin composition of the present invention includes a structural unit derived from a dihydroxy compound represented by the following general formula (1). It may be a copolymer in which part is replaced with a structural unit derived from another kind of dihydroxy compound, for example, an aliphatic or aromatic dihydroxy compound, or a copolymer structural unit such as polyalkylene glycol.

  In the present invention, examples of the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1) include isosorbide, isomannide, and isoidet, which are related to stereoisomers. These may be used alone or in combination of two kinds. A combination of the above may also be used.

  Among these dihydroxy compounds, isosorbide obtained by dehydrating condensation of sorbitol produced from various starches that are abundant as resources and are readily available is easy to obtain and manufacture, optical properties, moldability From the viewpoint of

Since isosorbide is gradually oxidized by oxygen, in order to prevent decomposition due to oxygen during storage and handling during production, do not mix moisture, use an oxygen scavenger, or use a nitrogen atmosphere. It is important to set it down. When isosorbide is oxidized, decomposition products such as formic acid are generated. For example, when a polycarbonate is produced using isosorbide containing these decomposition products, the resulting polycarbonate is colored or causes a significant deterioration in physical properties. In addition, the polymerization reaction may be affected, and a high molecular weight polymer may not be obtained. In addition, when a stabilizer for preventing the generation of formic acid is added, depending on the type of the stabilizer, coloring may occur in the obtained polycarbonate, or physical properties may be significantly deteriorated. As the stabilizer, a reducing agent or an antacid is used. Among them, examples of the reducing agent include sodium borohydride and lithium borohydride. Examples of the antacid include alkalis such as sodium hydroxide. Addition of such an alkali metal salt also serves as a polymerization catalyst, and if it is excessively added, the polymerization reaction may not be controlled.
In order to obtain isosorbide containing no oxidative decomposition product, isosorbide may be distilled as necessary. Moreover, also when the stabilizer is mix | blended in order to prevent the oxidation and decomposition | disassembly of isosorbide, you may distill isosorbide as needed. In this case, the distillation of isosorbide may be simple distillation or continuous distillation, and is not particularly limited. After the atmosphere is an inert gas atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen, distillation is performed under reduced pressure.
By performing such distillation of isosorbide, in the present invention, it is preferable to use a high purity isosorbide having a formic acid content of less than 20 ppm, more preferably 10 ppm or less, particularly 5 ppm or less.

  On the other hand, the dihydroxy compound of a copolymerization structural unit suitable for use in the present invention may be any of linear aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic dihydroxy compounds. Examples of linear aliphatic dihydroxy compounds include butanediol-1,4, pentanediol-1,5, neopentyl glycol, hexanediol-1,6, heptanediol-1,7, octanediol-1,8,2- Examples include ethylhexanediol-1,6,2,2,4-trimethylhexanediol-1,6, decanediol-1,10, hydrogenated dilinoleyl glycol, hydrogenated dioleyl glycol, and the like.

  Examples of the cycloaliphatic (sometimes referred to as alicyclic) dihydroxy compounds that can be used in the present invention include 1,2-cyclohexanediol, 1,3-cyclohexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, Hexanediols such as 2-methyl-1,4-cyclohexanediol, 1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 2,3-norbornanedimethanol, 2 Norbornane dimethanol such as 1,5-norbornane dimethanol, tricyclodecane dimethanol, pentacyclopentadecane dimethanol, 1,3-adamantanediol, 2,2-adamantanediol and the like. Of these, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, and 1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol are preferred.

  As aromatic dihydroxy compounds, 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane (= bisphenol A), tetramethylbisphenol A, bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -p-diisopropylbenzene, hydroquinone, resorcinol, 4,4 -Dihydroxy diphenyl etc. are mentioned, Preferably bisphenol A is mentioned.

  Further, the polyalkylene glycol as the copolymerization unit preferably contains 2 to 40 carbonsyl groups having 2 to 4 carbon atoms per molecule, and examples thereof include polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol.

  The hydroxy compound which is these copolymerization structural units may be used individually by 1 type, and may mix and use 2 or more types. Use of a linear aliphatic dihydroxy compound or polyalkylene glycol as a copolymerization component is disadvantageous because the glass transition temperature is drastically lowered and the heat resistance of the aromatic polyester resin composition is lowered. When an aromatic dihydroxy compound is used as a copolymerization component, the reactivity is drastically different from that of the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1), and it is generally difficult to obtain a high molecular weight compound. The effect of is small. In general, it is difficult to obtain a high molecular weight polycarbonate resin of the dihydroxy compound alone represented by the general formula (1), and the mechanical strength of the aromatic polyester resin composition tends to decrease. On the other hand, when a cycloaliphatic (alicyclic) dihydroxy compound is used as a copolymerization component, the reactivity of the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1) with the alicyclic dihydroxy compound as shown below. Good balance, relatively high molecular weight, glass transition temperature lower than that of linear aliphatic dihydroxy compounds, and sufficient heat resistance and mechanical strength of aromatic polyester resin composition Desirable in terms of high.

  As described above, a polycarbonate obtained by copolymerizing a structural unit derived from the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1) and a structural unit derived from the alicyclic dihydroxy compound, which is a preferred polycarbonate in the present invention, has not yet been reported. The details thereof will be described below, but the copolymers with other dihydroxy compounds are basically similar, and can be produced with reference to the above-mentioned patent documents.

  About the content rate of the structural unit derived from the dihydroxy compound represented by General formula (1), and the structural unit derived from an alicyclic dihydroxy compound, it can select in arbitrary ratios. However, when a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is performed, a single glass transition temperature is given, but the polycarbonate of the present invention is different from the types of dihydroxy compounds and alicyclic dihydroxy compounds represented by the general formula (1). By adjusting the compounding ratio, the glass transition temperature can be obtained as a polymer having an arbitrary glass transition temperature from about 45 ° C. to about 155 ° C.

  Therefore, for alloy applications with the aromatic polyester resin of the present invention, the glass composition has a glass transition temperature of 80 ° C. or higher, so that a decrease in heat resistance of the resin composition can be suppressed. It is necessary to select appropriately the ratio of the structural unit derived from the dihydroxy compound represented by these, and the structural unit derived from an alicyclic dihydroxy compound. The ratio is preferably 100: 0 to 30:70 (mol%), particularly 90:10 to 40:60 (mol%), more preferably 85:15 to 45:55 (mol%). If the number of structural units derived from the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1) is larger than the above range and the number of structural units derived from the alicyclic dihydroxy compound is small, coloring tends to occur. Conversely, the structural formula is represented by the general formula (1). When the number of structural units derived from the dihydroxy compound is small and the number of structural units derived from the alicyclic dihydroxy compound is large, the molecular weight is difficult to increase and the heat resistance tends to decrease.

  The degree of polymerization of the polycarbonate of the present invention is precisely adjusted to a polycarbonate concentration of 1.00 g / dl using a 1: 1 mixed solution of phenol and 1,1,2,2, -tetrachloroethane as a solvent. The reduced viscosity measured at a temperature of 30.0 ° C. ± 0.1 ° C. (hereinafter simply referred to as “reduced viscosity of polycarbonate”) is 0.40 dl / g or more, particularly 0.40 dl / g or more and 2. The degree of polymerization is preferably 0 dl / g or less. When the polycarbonate reduced viscosity is extremely low, the mechanical strength of the aromatic polyester resin composition is weak. Moreover, when the reduced viscosity of polycarbonate becomes large, the fluidity | liquidity at the time of shaping | molding will fall and cycling characteristics will fall. Therefore, the reduced viscosity of the polycarbonate of the present invention is preferably in the range of 0.40 dl / g to 2.0 dl / g, particularly 0.45 dl / g to 1.5 dl / g.

  The polycarbonate of the present invention can be produced by a generally used polymerization method, and the polymerization method may be either a solution polymerization method using phosgene or a melt polymerization method in which it reacts with a carbonic acid diester. In the presence, a melt polymerization method in which a dihydroxy compound is reacted with a diester carbonate that is less toxic to the environment is preferred.

  Examples of the carbonic acid diester used in the melt polymerization method include those represented by the following general formula (2).

(In General formula (2), A and A 'are the C1-C18 aliphatic groups which may have a substituent, or the aromatic group which may have a substituent, A and A ′ may be the same or different.)

  Examples of the carbonic acid diester represented by the general formula (2) include diphenyl carbonate, substituted diphenyl carbonate represented by ditolyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and di-t-butyl carbonate. Particularly preferred are diphenyl carbonate and substituted diphenyl carbonate. These carbonic acid diesters may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The carbonic acid diester is preferably used in a molar ratio of 0.90 to 1.10, more preferably 0.94 to 1.04, relative to the dihydroxy compound. When this molar ratio is less than 0.90, the terminal OH groups of the produced polycarbonate are increased and the thermal stability of the polymer is deteriorated. On the other hand, when the molar ratio is greater than 1.10, the ester is esterified under the same conditions. The rate of the exchange reaction is reduced, making it difficult to produce a polycarbonate having a desired molecular weight, and the amount of residual carbonic diester in the produced polycarbonate is increased. It is not preferable because it causes odor.

  Moreover, as a polymerization catalyst (transesterification catalyst) in melt polymerization, an alkali metal compound and / or an alkaline earth metal compound is used. A basic compound such as a basic boron compound, a basic phosphorus compound, a basic ammonium compound, or an amine compound can be used in combination with an alkali metal compound and / or an alkaline earth metal compound. It is particularly preferred to use only metal compounds and / or alkaline earth metal compounds.

  Examples of the alkali metal compound used as the polymerization catalyst include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, lithium hydrogen carbonate, cesium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate. , Lithium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, lithium acetate, cesium acetate, sodium stearate, potassium stearate, lithium stearate, cesium stearate, sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium borohydride, Cesium borohydride, sodium phenyl borohydride, potassium phenyl borohydride, lithium phenyl borohydride, cesium phenyl borohydride, sodium benzoate, potassium benzoate, lithium benzoate, benzoic acid Cium, 2 sodium hydrogen phosphate, 2 potassium hydrogen phosphate, 2 lithium hydrogen phosphate, 2 cesium hydrogen phosphate, 2 sodium phenyl phosphate, 2 potassium phenyl phosphate, 2 lithium phenyl phosphate, 2 cesium phenyl phosphate, Sodium, potassium, lithium, cesium alcoholate, phenolate, disodium salt of bisphenol A, 2 potassium salt, 2 lithium salt, 2 cesium salt and the like.

  These alkali metal compounds and / or alkaline earth metal compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  Specific examples of basic boron compounds used in combination with alkali metal compounds and / or alkaline earth metal compounds include tetramethyl boron, tetraethyl boron, tetrapropyl boron, tetrabutyl boron, trimethylethyl boron, trimethylbenzyl boron, trimethyl Sodium salt such as phenyl boron, triethylmethyl boron, triethylbenzyl boron, triethylphenyl boron, tributylbenzyl boron, tributylphenyl boron, tetraphenyl boron, benzyltriphenyl boron, methyltriphenyl boron, butyltriphenyl boron, potassium salt, lithium Examples thereof include salts, calcium salts, barium salts, magnesium salts, and strontium salts.

  Examples of the basic phosphorus compound include triethylphosphine, tri-n-propylphosphine, triisopropylphosphine, tri-n-butylphosphine, triphenylphosphine, tributylphosphine, and quaternary phosphonium salts.

  Examples of the basic ammonium compound include tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, trimethylethylammonium hydroxide, trimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, trimethylphenylammonium hydroxide, Triethylmethylammonium hydroxide, triethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, triethylphenylammonium hydroxide, tributylbenzylammonium hydroxide, tributylphenylammonium hydroxide, tetraphenylammonium hydroxide, benzyltriphenylammonium hydroxide, methyltriphenylammonium hydroxide Sid, butyl triphenyl ammonium hydroxide, and the like.

  Examples of the amine compound include 4-aminopyridine, 2-aminopyridine, N, N-dimethyl-4-aminopyridine, 4-diethylaminopyridine, 2-hydroxypyridine, 2-methoxypyridine, 4-methoxypyridine, 2 -Dimethylaminoimidazole, 2-methoxyimidazole, imidazole, 2-mercaptoimidazole, 2-methylimidazole, aminoquinoline and the like.

  These basic compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  When the alkali metal compound and / or alkaline earth metal compound is used, the polymerization catalyst is used in an amount of metal with respect to 1 mol in total of the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1) and the alicyclic dihydroxy compound. As a conversion amount, it is normally used within the range of 0.1 to 100 μmol, preferably within the range of 0.5 to 50 μmol, and more preferably within the range of 1 to 25 μmol. If the amount of the polymerization catalyst used is too small, the polymerization activity necessary to produce a polycarbonate having a desired molecular weight cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the amount of the polymerization catalyst used is too large, the hue of the resulting polycarbonate deteriorates, By-products are generated and fluidity is lowered and gel is generated more frequently, making it difficult to produce polycarbonate having the target quality.

  In the production of the polycarbonate of the present invention, the dihydroxy compound such as the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (I) may be supplied as a solid, or heated and supplied in a molten state. Alternatively, it may be supplied as an aqueous solution. When these raw material dihydroxy compounds are supplied in a molten state or in an aqueous solution, there is an advantage that they can be easily measured and transported when industrially produced.

  In the present invention, the method of reacting the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (I) or the copolymer component with a carbonic acid diester in the presence of a polymerization catalyst is usually carried out in two or more multistage processes. Specifically, the first stage reaction is carried out at a temperature of 140 to 220 ° C, preferably 150 to 200 ° C for 0.1 to 10 hours, preferably 0.5 to 3 hours. From the second stage onward, the reaction temperature is raised while gradually reducing the pressure of the reaction system from the pressure of the first stage, and at the same time, the phenol generated at the same time is removed from the reaction system. Is 200 Pa or less and a polycondensation reaction is performed under the temperature range of 210-280 degreeC.

  In the pressure reduction in this polycondensation reaction, it is important to control the balance between temperature and pressure in the reaction system. In particular, if either one of the temperature and the pressure is changed too quickly, unreacted monomers are distilled out, the molar ratio of the dihydroxy compound and the carbonic acid diester may be changed, and the degree of polymerization may be lowered. For example, when isosorbide and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol are used as the dihydroxy compound, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is used when the molar ratio of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol to the total dihydroxy compound is 50 mol% or more. Since methanol easily distills out as a monomer, the reaction is carried out under a reduced pressure of about 13 kPa while the temperature is increased at a rate of temperature increase of 40 ° C. or less per hour, and further up to about 6.67 kPa. When the temperature is increased at a temperature increase rate of 40 ° C. or less per hour under the pressure of, and finally the polycondensation reaction is performed at a temperature of 200 to 250 ° C. at a pressure of 200 Pa or less, the degree of polymerization is sufficiently increased. Since the obtained polycarbonate is obtained, it is preferable.

  In addition, when the molar ratio of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is less than 50 mol% with respect to all dihydroxy compounds, particularly when the molar ratio is 30 mol% or less, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol Compared with the case where the molar ratio is 50 mol% or more, the viscosity rises rapidly. For example, the temperature is increased at a rate of 40 ° C. or less per hour until the pressure in the reaction system is reduced to about 13 kPa. And the reaction is carried out at a pressure of up to about 6.67 kPa while increasing the temperature at a rate of temperature rise of 40 ° C. or more, preferably at a rate of temperature rise of 50 ° C. or more per hour. When a polycondensation reaction is finally performed at a temperature of 220 to 290 ° C. under a reduced pressure of 200 Pa or less, a polycarbonate having a sufficiently high degree of polymerization is obtained, which is preferable.

    The type of reaction may be any of batch type, continuous type, or a combination of batch type and continuous type.

  When the polycarbonate of the present invention is produced by a melt polymerization method, a phosphoric acid compound or a phosphorous acid compound can be added during polymerization for the purpose of preventing coloring.

  As the phosphoric acid compound, one or more of trialkyl phosphates such as trimethyl phosphate and triethyl phosphate are preferably used. These are preferably added in an amount of 0.0001 mol% or more and 0.005 mol% or less, more preferably 0.0003 mol% or more and 0.003 mol% or less, based on the total hydroxy compound components. When the addition amount of the phosphorus compound is less than the above lower limit, the effect of preventing coloring is small, and when it is more than the above upper limit, haze is increased, or on the contrary, the coloring is promoted or the heat resistance is lowered.

  When adding a phosphorous acid compound, the heat stabilizer shown below can be selected arbitrarily and used. In particular, trimethyl phosphite, triethyl phosphite, trisnonylphenyl phosphite, trimethyl phosphate, tris (2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite, bis (2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) One or more of pentaerythritol diphosphites can be suitably used. These phosphorous acid compounds are preferably added in an amount of 0.0001 mol% or more and 0.005 mol% or less, more preferably 0.0003 mol% or more and 0.003 mol% or less, based on the total hydroxy compound component. It is preferable to do. If the amount of the phosphite compound is less than the above lower limit, the effect of preventing coloring is small, and if it is more than the above upper limit, it may cause haze to increase, or conversely promote coloring or reduce heat resistance. Sometimes.

    The phosphoric acid compound and the phosphorous acid compound can be added in combination, but the addition amount in that case is the total amount of the phosphoric acid compound and the phosphorous acid compound, and the total hydroxy compound component described above, It is preferable to set it as 0.0001 mol% or more and 0.005 mol% or less, More preferably, it is 0.0003 mol% or more and 0.003 mol% or less. If the amount added is less than the above lower limit, the effect of preventing coloring is small, and if it is more than the above upper limit, haze may be increased, or conversely, coloring may be promoted or heat resistance may be lowered.

  In the resin composition of the present invention, the polycarbonate (B) containing a structural unit derived from the dihydroxy compound represented by the general formula (1) is 2 to 80 weights per 100 weight parts of the (A) aromatic polyester resin. Parts by weight, more preferably in the range of 5 to 60 parts by weight. If the amount is less than 2 parts by weight, the breakdown voltage and dimensional stability, which are the objects of the present invention, cannot be improved. On the other hand, when it is more than 80 parts by weight, the heat resistance is lowered.

(C) Inorganic filler (C) As an inorganic filler that is suitably used in the resin composition of the present invention, it is generally used in resin compositions such as fibrous, plate-like, and granular materials, Moreover, these mixtures are mentioned. Specifically, fibrous materials such as glass fibers, mineral fibers, ceramic whiskers, wollastonite, carbon fibers; plate-like materials such as glass flakes, mica, talc; silica, alumina, glass beads, carbon black, calcium carbonate, etc. Well-known things, such as a granular material, are mentioned. The criteria for these selections depend on the required properties of the product, but for mechanical strength and rigidity, fibrous materials, especially glass fibers, are selected, and when it is important to reduce the anisotropy and warpage of molded products, A material, particularly mica, is selected. In addition, an optimum granular material is selected based on an overall balance in consideration of fluidity during molding.

  The glass fiber is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used for resin reinforcement. For example, a long fiber type (roving) or a short fiber type (chopped strand) can be selected and used. The fiber cross section may be circular or irregular, and the fiber diameter (the irregular cross section is the cross-sectional area). The diameter is generally 6 to 25 μm when expressed in terms of a circle. Further, the glass fiber may be treated with a sizing agent (for example, polyvinyl acetate, polyester, etc.), a coupling agent (for example, silane compound, boron compound, etc.), other surface treatment agents, and the like. Among them, those subjected to surface treatment with an aminosilane compound and a novolac epoxy compound are preferable from the viewpoint of strength. Furthermore, in order to improve the dielectric breakdown resistance of the main purpose of the present invention, the combination of plate-like materials such as mica and glass flakes is preferable because it leads to an increase in the insulation distance and the dielectric breakdown voltage is improved. The combined use with glass fiber is recommended from the overall balance including the improvement of the glass. The ratio of glass fiber to plate-like filler is 1/2 to 10/1.

  The blending amount of the (C) inorganic filler is preferably 0.01 to 80 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of (A) aromatic polyester resin and (B) polycarbonate. 75 parts by weight. When the amount is more than 100 parts by weight, the mechanical properties are deteriorated. However, when the improvement of the mechanical strength is a target, the amount of the inorganic filler is preferably 5 parts by weight or more, and the main purpose is to promote crystallization. If so, the range of 0.01 to 1 part by weight is preferably selected.

  In the present resin composition, a flame retardant widely used in the resin composition can be blended for the purpose of imparting flame retardancy. Suitable flame retardants include brominated flame retardants such as brominated bisphenol A-based polycarbonates, brominated bisphenol A-based epoxy resins, and vinyl-based polymers having a brominated substituent (for example, pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate). And red phosphorus and phosphoric acid flame retardants.

  The blending amount of the flame retardant is 2 to 30% by weight in the total composition. The greater the amount of inorganic filler in the total composition, and the smaller the amount of flame retardant added when a flame retardant aid is used in combination, at least 2 wt. If it is less than%, the flame retardancy of the resulting composition is insufficient. When it is more than 30% by weight, the mechanical strength is lowered.

Furthermore, a flame retardant aid can be blended for the purpose of promoting the flame retardant effect. Examples of suitable flame retardant aids include Sb ₂ O ₃ and / or xNa ₂ O.Sb ₂ O ₅ .yH ₂ O (x = 0 to 1, y = 0 to 4), metal borate (zinc borate, Aluminum borate, magnesium borate, etc.). The particle size of the flame retardant aid is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.02 to 5 μm. Moreover, what was surface-treated with an epoxy compound, a silane compound, an isocyanate compound, a titanate compound etc. can be used if desired. The blending amount of the flame retardant aid is 0 to 15% by weight, but in order to effectively impart flame retardancy, it is preferably blended so as to be 20 to 70% by weight with respect to the flame retardant. When the addition amount exceeds 15% by weight, the decomposition of the resin and the compounding agent is promoted, and the properties of the molded product may be deteriorated.

  In addition to (A) aromatic polyester, (B) polycarbonate, and (C) inorganic filler that is suitably used, the present resin composition includes a nucleating agent (if desired) within a range not impairing the object of the present invention. For example, talc, sodium benzoate, sodium stearate), lubricants (eg paraffin wax, polyethylene wax, stearic acid and its esters or salts, silicone oil), antioxidants, UV absorbers, heat stabilizers, pigments, impact resistance Conventional additives such as a modifier such as a property improver and a hydrolysis resistance improver such as an epoxy compound can be included.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular regarding the manufacturing method of this resin composition, A well-known method is employable. That is, (A) aromatic polyester, (B) polycarbonate, and (C) inorganic filler that is preferably used are in a pellet, powder, strip state, etc., uniformly mixed using a blender, etc., and then a Banbury mixer, a heating roll Alternatively, it can be produced by various methods such as a melt kneading method at a temperature of 230 to 360 ° C., preferably 230 to 290 ° C. using a single screw or multi screw extruder. In addition, a method is also possible in which (A) aromatic polyester is kneaded with a high concentration of (B) polycarbonate, etc., and later diluted with aromatic polyester and adjusted to a predetermined blending ratio.
