Description

  The present invention provides a resin composition comprising a poly-3-hydroxybutyrate polymer and / or polylactic acid and polyurethane, which is excellent in impact resistance and exhibits a high crystallization rate, and the resin composition In addition, the present invention relates to an injection-molded product comprising the resin composition.

  Since poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-based polymers and polylactic acid are obtained from plants as raw materials, they have recently attracted attention as materials with little environmental impact. However, poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-based polymers and polylactic acid have problems that the crystallization speed is slow and the molding processability is inferior and the impact resistance is also inferior. The cycle had to be lengthened, and when forming by extrusion, it was necessary to reduce the discharge amount or introduce a large apparatus with a long production line.

  As a method for solving these problems, a method of mixing polycaprolactone or polybutylene succinate resin has been proposed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  In addition, as a method for improving the crystallization speed of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate polymer or polylactic acid and improving the molding processability thereof, a method of adding a plasticizer or a crystal nucleating agent to the pellet has been proposed. 1) A method of adding a plasticizer such as fatty acid, aliphatic ester, aliphatic amide, or fatty acid metal salt (see, for example, Patent Document 3). 2) Adding silicon nitride as a crystal nucleating agent to increase the crystal growth rate. Method (for example, refer to Patent Document 4), 3) A method for increasing the crystal growth rate by adding ammonium chloride as a crystal nucleating agent (for example, refer to Patent Document 5).

JP-A-9-194281 JP 11-323141 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-188573 European Published Patent No. 0291024 International Patent Publication No. 91/197559

  However, in the method of mixing the different polymers proposed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the impact resistance effect is not sufficient. Further, in the method of adding a plasticizer proposed in Patent Document 3, the plasticizer bleeds to the product surface or the plasticizer migrates to other products, particularly to products made of polyvinyl chloride or polystyrene resins. There were problems such as rapid migration of plasticizers and contamination of production lines such as cooling rolls. Furthermore, in the method of adding the crystal nucleating agent proposed in Patent Documents 4 and 5, the crystal nucleating agent is expensive, and there are problems such as impairing the cost performance of the resin composition.

  Therefore, the present invention comprises a poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-based polymer and / or polylactic acid and polyurethane which are excellent in molding processability, productivity of a molded product and excellent in impact resistance because of a high crystallization rate. The present invention provides a resin composition, a method for efficiently producing the resin composition, and an injection-molded article obtained from the resin composition.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has shown that a resin composition comprising a poly-3-hydroxybutyrate polymer and / or polylactic acid and polyurethane exhibits excellent molding processability and impact resistance. As a result, the present invention has been completed.

  That is, the present invention relates to a resin composition characterized by comprising 1 to 99% by weight of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate polymer and / or polylactic acid and 99 to 1% by weight of polyurethane.
