Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem: pulp fiber composite PP (polypropylene) to which a flat filler has been added so as to achieve a high flexural modulus remarkably deteriorates designability because air remaining among fibrillated fine fibers on fiber surfaces separates during injection molding and remains as bubbles in a molded article, and in order to prevent the deterioration, a means of imparting a dilute solution of an elastomer or the like to pulp fibers, followed by adhesion by squeezing may be adopted, however, this means brings reduction of impact strength.SOLUTION: A method for producing a pulp fiber reinforced resin is characterized in that a surfactant is sprayed and impregnated into aggregated pulp fibers under convection in a stirring tank; a dilute solution of a low elastic elastomer dispersed in water with a surfactant is sprayed; a flat inorganic material is put while the pulp fibers are in the wet state; and a filler formed by defiberizing the pulp fibers and dispersing the above filler is kneaded with a thermoplastic resin and made composite.

Description

この発明は、回収古紙を解繊するなどして得られたパルプ繊維を主体とする充填材を用いた熱可塑性樹脂の複合体に関し、意匠性の悪化と脆性の増加を緩和するとともに、曲げ応力に対する靱性を向上させるパルプ繊維強化樹脂の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a composite of a thermoplastic resin using a filler mainly composed of pulp fibers obtained by defibrating recovered waste paper, etc., and alleviates deterioration in designability and increase in brittleness, as well as bending stress. The present invention relates to a method for producing a pulp fiber reinforced resin that improves the toughness of the resin.

炭酸ガス排出量の抑制と資源の有効利用を目的とした天然素材の活用が進められ、PP(ポリプロピレン)などの汎用樹脂の使用量削減を目的に、回収紙を繊維状に粉砕して得たパルプ繊維を混入することによる前記目的を達成する手段が注目されつつある。   Obtained by pulverizing recovered paper into fibers for the purpose of reducing the amount of general-purpose resins such as PP (polypropylene) as natural materials are used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and effectively use resources. Means for achieving the above-mentioned object by incorporating pulp fibers are drawing attention.

例えば、パルプ繊維との複合体について、粉砕によって得た解繊状の古紙とPP(ポリプロピレン)とを混合したものを溶融混合する手段が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   For example, there has been proposed a means for melt-mixing a composite of pulp fibers with a mixture of defibrated waste paper obtained by pulverization and PP (polypropylene) (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、嵩高な植物繊維の取扱いを容易にするため、融点200℃以下の可塑剤またはセルロース疎水化剤を用いて植物繊維の分散を促進出来る状態の塊状物またはペレットを用いてPP(ポリプロピレン)と混練することによって、樹脂への分散性を向上する手段が提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。   Further, in order to facilitate handling of bulky plant fibers, PP (polypropylene) is used with a lump or pellet in a state that can promote the dispersion of plant fibers using a plasticizer or cellulose hydrophobizing agent having a melting point of 200 ° C. or lower. Means for improving dispersibility in a resin by kneading have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

しかし、パルプ繊維の表面にあって部分的にフィブリル化して成る微細繊維は、パルプ繊維と樹脂の混合に伴う絡みを促す作用を呈することから、繊維と樹脂とが直接的に強固な接合を備えた複合化の態様を得ることが困難である。この結果、パルプ繊維を複合化したPP(ポリプロピレン)は剛性と耐熱性に優れる反面、衝撃強度や引っ張り伸び量の低下をもたらすなどの脆性が増して、複合化の向上効果を損なわせることになる。さらに、前記微細繊維間にある空気が残留し易く、単純な混練では容易に排出されずに射出成形などの高圧下の流動過程で分離し、成形品に気泡として残留して意匠性を低下させるという課題を備える。   However, fine fibers that are partially fibrillated on the surface of the pulp fiber have the effect of promoting the entanglement associated with the mixing of the pulp fiber and the resin, so that the fiber and the resin have a strong direct bond. It is difficult to obtain a composite mode. As a result, PP (polypropylene) combined with pulp fibers is excellent in rigidity and heat resistance, but on the other hand, brittleness such as reduction in impact strength and tensile elongation is increased, and the improvement effect of the composite is impaired. . Furthermore, the air between the fine fibers is likely to remain, and is not easily discharged by simple kneading, but is separated in a flow process under high pressure such as injection molding, and remains in the molded product as bubbles to deteriorate the design. It has a problem.

この課題を解決するために、パルプ繊維の表面を樹脂被覆する手段として、オレフィン系の熱可塑性樹脂を溶剤に分散させた液状態で吹き付けるなどして繊維表面に被覆させた後にマトリックスである樹脂と混合して一体化させたことによって、機械強度を改善する手段が提案されている(例えば、特許文献3参照)。   In order to solve this problem, as a means for coating the surface of the pulp fiber with a resin which is a matrix after coating the fiber surface by spraying in a liquid state in which an olefin-based thermoplastic resin is dispersed in a solvent, etc. Means for improving mechanical strength by mixing and integrating have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

また、フィブリル化した繊維表面に弾性樹脂溶液を付与後に絞液して付着させたことによって、繊維本体にフィブリル化した繊維を固着させるようにして用いることで、白化を防止する手段が提案されている(例えば、特許文献4参照)。   In addition, a means for preventing whitening has been proposed by using the fibrillated fiber to fix the fibrillated fiber to the fiber body by attaching the elastic resin solution to the fibrillated fiber surface and then attaching it to the fiber body. (For example, see Patent Document 4).

また、回収紙を解繊して得たパルプ繊維を用いて複合化した熱可塑性樹脂は、射出成形時の流動性の低下が著しいことから、ファンなどの曲げ応力による変形を抑止する必要のある部品への適用を困難としていた。   In addition, the thermoplastic resin compounded with pulp fibers obtained by defibrating the recovered paper has a significant decrease in fluidity at the time of injection molding, so it is necessary to suppress deformation due to bending stress such as a fan. It was difficult to apply to parts.

これに対し、射出成形が可能な弾性率の向上手段として、有機長繊維に扁平状の無機充填材のタルクを併用したオレフィン系樹脂との長繊維強化複合樹脂組成物が提案されている(例えば、特許文献5参照)。   On the other hand, as a means for improving the elastic modulus capable of injection molding, a long fiber reinforced composite resin composition with an olefin resin in which organic tal fiber is combined with talc of a flat inorganic filler has been proposed (for example, , See Patent Document 5).

これら手段によれば、繊維表面にあるフィブリル化した微細繊維が成す隙間に残存する空気が樹脂成形品の表面に移行して白化を来すのを防止するため、上記樹脂溶液が侵入してパルプ繊維とマトリックスを成す樹脂との一体化を達成する。しかし、この改質に伴う脆性増加が強度や弾性率の上昇を促す反面、衝撃強度の大幅な低下を来すことになる。   According to these means, in order to prevent the air remaining in the gap formed by the fibrillated fine fibers on the fiber surface from moving to the surface of the resin molded product and causing whitening, the resin solution enters the pulp. Achieve integration of fiber and matrix resin. However, an increase in brittleness associated with this modification promotes an increase in strength and elastic modulus, but on the other hand, the impact strength is greatly reduced.

しかし、パルプの繊維状充填材は極めて凝集しやすく、押出機などによる樹脂との溶融混練によって容易に解繊できないことから、繊維間の空隙にある空気が排出されて分散するので、得られた複合体のペレットを用いた射出成形によって得た成形品の表面には,残存空気による気泡に起因した流動方向に筋状の白化が散在するという課題を残すことになる。   However, since the fibrous filler of pulp is extremely easy to aggregate and cannot be easily defibrated by melt kneading with a resin using an extruder or the like, the air in the voids between the fibers is discharged and dispersed. On the surface of a molded product obtained by injection molding using a composite pellet, there remains a problem that streaky whitening is scattered in the flow direction due to bubbles due to residual air.

同様に、凝集しやすいパルプの繊維状充填材にタルクなどの曲げ弾性率向上に寄与する扁平状の充填材を加えても、熱可塑性樹脂との溶融混練による複合化において、均一分散を達成することが困難である。   Similarly, even when a flat filler that contributes to an improvement in the flexural modulus such as talc is added to the fibrous filler of pulp that is prone to agglomeration, uniform dispersion is achieved in the composite by melt-kneading with a thermoplastic resin. Is difficult.

この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、パルプ繊維の表面に、粘着性のある低分子オレフィン系エラストマーの水分散液を界面活性剤とともに保持させ、微細繊維間に残留する空気を排除するとともに粘性に富む低分子オレフィン系エラストマーの緩衝作用を得て、成形品表面の白化形成と衝撃強度の低下抑制を達成した複合体を得ることができるパルプ繊維強化樹脂の製造方法を提供する。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. An aqueous dispersion of an adhesive low-molecular-weight olefin elastomer is held together with a surfactant on the surface of a pulp fiber, so that the fine fiber is interposed between fine fibers. Manufacture of pulp fiber reinforced resin that eliminates residual air and obtains a buffering action of low molecular weight olefin elastomer rich in viscosity, and can achieve a composite that achieves whitening formation on the surface of molded products and suppression of reduction in impact strength Provide a method.

この発明に係るパルプ繊維強化樹脂の製造方法は、攪拌槽内で凝集したパルプ繊維を対流する状態下で界面活性剤を吹き付けて含浸させた後に界面活性剤を用いて水分散させた低弾性エラストマーの希薄液を吹き付け、パルプ繊維が湿潤状態を維持して成る状態で扁平状の無機物を投入し、パルプ繊維の解繊と充填材を分散させて成る充填材が、熱可塑性樹脂と混練して複合化されることを特徴とする。   The method for producing a pulp fiber reinforced resin according to the present invention is a low elastic elastomer in which a surfactant is sprayed and impregnated in a convection state in a stirring tank and then dispersed in water using the surfactant. Sprayed with a dilute liquid, and a flat inorganic material is added in a state in which the pulp fiber is kept in a wet state, and a filler made by dispersing the pulp fiber defibration and the filler is kneaded with the thermoplastic resin. It is characterized by being compounded.

この発明に係るパルプ繊維強化樹脂の製造方法は、パルプ繊維の表面に、粘着性のある低分子オレフィン系エラストマーの水分散液を界面活性剤とともに保持させたので、微細繊維間に残留する空気を排除するとともに粘性に富む低分子オレフィン系エラストマーの緩衝作用を成すので、成形品表面の白化形成と衝撃強度の低下抑制を達成した複合体が得られる。   In the method for producing a pulp fiber reinforced resin according to the present invention, an aqueous dispersion of an adhesive low molecular weight olefin elastomer is held together with a surfactant on the surface of the pulp fiber, so that the air remaining between the fine fibers is removed. Since it eliminates and acts as a buffer for the low-molecular-weight olefin elastomer rich in viscosity, a composite that achieves whitening formation on the surface of the molded article and suppression of reduction in impact strength can be obtained.

<Overview>
Pulp fibers obtained by defibrating recovered paper or the like can be combined with a thermoplastic resin by melt-kneading, thereby reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emission associated with the production of the molding material. In addition, the present invention imparts great effectiveness to the properties of molded products, such as improvement of various physical properties including impact strength according to the fiber length. On the other hand, the application to the molding resin has a problem that since the fiber surface is provided with fine fibers that are partially fibrillated, they are easily entangled with each other.

これは、成形材料を得るための溶融混練におけるせん断応力を受けても、繊維同士が綿状に凝集して絡み合った状態を解消することができず、得られた複合体樹脂に分散できない,という課題を生む。更に、繊維の微細繊維間に残留した空気が十分に排除できないことから、成形品に賦型する射出成形時の金型内で、高圧下での流動時に微細気泡が分離し、成形品を部分的に白化させて意匠性の悪化を招く原因を生む。   This means that even when subjected to shear stress in melt-kneading to obtain a molding material, the fibers cannot be dispersed in a cotton-like state and cannot be dispersed in the resulting composite resin. Create challenges. Furthermore, since the air remaining between the fine fibers of the fibers cannot be sufficiently eliminated, the fine bubbles are separated when flowing under high pressure in the mold during injection molding to be molded into the molded product, and the molded product is partially Cause whitening to cause deterioration of the design.

パルプ繊維の不均一な分散状態で、曲げ応力に対する剛性向上を目的に鱗片状の補強材であるマイカ微粉末やタルクなどの扁平状の充填剤を添加した場合、これらの充填材が均一分散しないことのほか、パルプ繊維との相互作用による補強効果が十分に発現できない、ことになる。   When a flat filler such as mica fine powder or talc, which is a flaky reinforcing material, is added to improve rigidity against bending stress in an uneven dispersion state of pulp fibers, these fillers are not uniformly dispersed. In addition, the reinforcing effect due to the interaction with the pulp fibers cannot be sufficiently exhibited.

本発明は、表面に微細繊維を備えた長繊維を、相互に絡みにくくしてマイカなどの扁平状充填材とともに均一な分散状態を確保する手段に関するもので、タルクやマイカなどの扁平形状の微粉粒をパルプ繊維表面に保持させて絡み合いを阻害してパルプ長繊維の凝集を抑制、これら充填剤を複合樹脂に均一分散させることを特徴とする成形原料の調整手段に関する。   The present invention relates to a means for ensuring that a long fiber having fine fibers on its surface is not easily entangled with each other and a uniform dispersion state together with a flat filler such as mica, and is a flat fine powder such as talc or mica. The present invention relates to a forming raw material adjusting means characterized in that the particles are held on the pulp fiber surface to inhibit the entanglement to suppress the aggregation of the pulp long fibers and to uniformly disperse these fillers in the composite resin.

<Prior art>
According to Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-020021), the means for coating the surface of the pulp fiber with resin is coated on the fiber surface by spraying it in a liquid state in which an olefin-based thermoplastic resin is dispersed in a solvent. There is an example of improving the mechanical strength by making it.

また、特許文献4(特開平09−228250号公報)には、フィブリル化した繊維表面に弾性樹脂溶液を付与後に絞液して付着させたものを用いることによって、白化を防止する手段が記載されている。   Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-228250) describes means for preventing whitening by using an elastic resin solution that has been squeezed and adhered to a fibrillated fiber surface. ing.

パルプ繊維との複合体については、特許文献1(特開平05−320367号公報)において、粉砕によって得た解繊状の古紙とPP(ポリプロピレン)とを混合したものを溶融混合する手段が紹介されている。   Regarding a composite with pulp fiber, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 05-320367) introduced a means for melting and mixing a mixture of defibrated waste paper obtained by pulverization and PP (polypropylene). ing.

また、特許文献2(特開平06−073231号公報)において、融点200℃以下の可塑剤またはセルロース疎水化剤を用いて、植物繊維の分散を促進させたものをPP(ポリプロピレン)と混練することによって分散性を向上する手段が開示されている。   Further, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 06-073231), a plasticizer or cellulose hydrophobizing agent having a melting point of 200 ° C. or lower is used to knead plant fiber dispersion with PP (polypropylene). Discloses means for improving dispersibility.

一方、パルプ繊維の樹脂複合体に関する先行文献は、特許文献6(特開平11−5203号公報)に古紙原料を乾式解繊後に接着剤を添加して熱可塑性樹脂を添加空いた成形材料を用いて所定の温度で加熱加圧成形を行う手段が紹介されている。   On the other hand, the prior literature relating to the resin composite of pulp fiber uses a molding material in which a waste paper raw material is dry defibrated and an adhesive is added after adding a thermoplastic resin to Patent Document 6 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-5203). Means for performing heat and pressure molding at a predetermined temperature are introduced.

また、特許文献7(特開2003−169978号公報)では、撹拌によって浮遊した球状綿の表面にバインダー液を吹付けるクッション材の製造方法が示されている。   Patent Document 7 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-169978) discloses a method for manufacturing a cushion material in which a binder liquid is sprayed onto the surface of a spherical cotton that has floated by stirring.

さらに、特許文献8(特開平08−252557号公報)には、古紙パルプと熱可塑性微細繊維を加熱処理前に均一に混合して古紙ボードを製造する手段が開示されている。   Further, Patent Document 8 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-252557) discloses a means for producing a used paper board by uniformly mixing used paper pulp and thermoplastic fine fibers before heat treatment.

<先行技術との相違>
本発明は、パルプ繊維表面のフィブリル化した微細繊維が備える空間内にある空気の排除を容易とするため、疎水基と親水基を併せ持つ界面活性剤の希薄溶液を用いたことにより、前記微細繊維と親和性に優れた親水基を備える界面活性剤が容易に含浸して繊維本体収束した状態を確保した後、樹脂との親和性に優れる疎水基の作用によって、希薄溶液に分散した粘性に優れるエラストマーを強固に被覆できる。
<Differences from the prior art>
The present invention uses a dilute solution of a surfactant having both a hydrophobic group and a hydrophilic group in order to facilitate the removal of air in the space of the fibrillated fine fiber on the surface of the pulp fiber. It is excellent in viscosity dispersed in dilute solution due to the action of hydrophobic group which has excellent affinity with resin after easily impregnating with surfactant with hydrophilic group with excellent affinity and ensuring the fiber body converged Elastomer can be firmly coated.

一方で、粘性に優れた樹脂を表面部分に被覆したことにより、PP(ポリプロピレン)との混練によって相互が一体化し、両材料の界面部分における緩衝効果を増し、衝撃強度の向上に寄与できる。   On the other hand, by coating the surface portion with a resin having excellent viscosity, they are integrated with each other by kneading with PP (polypropylene), thereby increasing the buffering effect at the interface portion between the two materials and contributing to the improvement of the impact strength.

また、パルプ繊維と樹脂との複合体の形成において、繊維を凝集状態から解放後に再度の凝集を抑止する手段に関する記述が先行技術文献には無く、本発明の技術上の特徴を捕捉するに至らない。   In addition, in the formation of a composite of pulp fiber and resin, there is no description in the prior art document regarding means for preventing re-aggregation after releasing the fiber from the agglomerated state, leading to capturing the technical features of the present invention. Absent.

<効果(進歩性)>
パルプ長繊維の表面にPP(ポリプロピレン)との相溶性に優れるオレフィン系エラストマー(PIB(ポリイソブチレン))の微粒子を付着させたことによって、表面にある微細繊維間に含まれる空気を排除したうえでマイカやタルクなどの扁平状の充填材を保持したので、繊維同士の絡み合いを抑制して均一分散するので、強度の向上を促進するとともに、射出成形時に気泡の排出に起因した白化を抑止して意匠性を改善できる。
<Effect (Inventive step)>
By removing fine particles of olefin-based elastomer (PIB (polyisobutylene)), which has excellent compatibility with PP (polypropylene), on the surface of the long-fiber pulp, the air contained between the fine fibers on the surface is eliminated. Since flat fillers such as mica and talc are held, the fibers are uniformly dispersed by suppressing the entanglement between the fibers, which promotes the improvement of strength and suppresses whitening caused by the discharge of bubbles during injection molding. Designability can be improved.

また、低融点で粘性に富むPIB(ポリイソブチレン)を繊維表面に備えたので、成形時の流動性向上とPP(ポリプロピレン)とパルプ繊維の複合化を強固にしたことに加え、応力負荷に伴う破壊の開始点となる残留気泡を排除したことによる強度、特に界面に粘性を付与したことによる無機充填材の添加に伴う衝撃強度の低下を抑制した。   In addition, PIB (polyisobutylene), which has a low melting point and is rich in viscosity, is provided on the fiber surface, so that in addition to improving fluidity during molding and strengthening the composite of PP (polypropylene) and pulp fibers, it is accompanied by stress load. The strength due to the elimination of residual bubbles that became the starting point of fracture, particularly the impact strength due to the addition of inorganic filler due to the addition of viscosity to the interface, was suppressed.

PIB(ポリイソブチレン)の希薄水分散液を塗布して改質したパルプ繊維にマイカを併用した充填材とPP(ポリプロピレン)とを混練して得る複合樹脂の製造方法について、以下に詳述する。   A method for producing a composite resin obtained by kneading PP (polypropylene) with a filler using mica in combination with a modified pulp fiber by applying a diluted aqueous dispersion of PIB (polyisobutylene) will be described in detail below.

まず、低弾性エラストマーであるPIB(ポリイソブチレン)は高温で界面活性剤を備えた水中で高速攪拌することによって、エマルジョン(水に乳化、分散させたもの)の状態になるまで分散させた。ただし、分子量が100K(Kは×1000を意味し、100K=100000である。以下同じ。)以上のものは、溶剤を用いて膨潤または溶解させるなどして粘度を低下させ、分散を容易化することが好ましい。反面、120K以上のものは分散に要する濃度が5%以下のものしか得られないので不適である。   First, PIB (polyisobutylene), which is a low-elastic elastomer, was dispersed at a high temperature in water equipped with a surfactant until it became an emulsion (emulsified and dispersed in water). However, those having a molecular weight of 100K (K means x1000, 100K = 100000, and the same shall apply hereinafter) or more are reduced in viscosity by swelling or dissolving using a solvent to facilitate dispersion. It is preferable. On the other hand, those having a temperature of 120K or more are not suitable because only a concentration required for dispersion of 5% or less is obtained.

一方のパルプ繊維は、回収紙などで酸や塩素などの変色や変質を促す残留薬品が無いものを選択し、これを対向する2枚の異なる方向に回転するディスク間に設けた間隙内に投入するなどしてせん断力を付与することによって解繊したものを用いる。   On the other hand, for the pulp fiber, select paper that does not have residual chemicals that promote discoloration or deterioration such as acid or chlorine, and put it in the gap provided between the two opposing disks rotating in different directions. Use a fiber that has been defibrated by applying shearing force.

パルプ繊維の改質は、上記パルプ繊維をヘンシェルミキサーなどの高速回転する羽根を備えた混合機中で攪拌しながら浮遊させた状態で、界面活性剤の希薄水溶液を霧状で吹き付ける。添加する界面活性剤の量は、パルプ繊維に対して0.5〜2.0%、吹付ける水溶液はパルプ繊維と同量〜倍量とすることが好ましい。   For the modification of the pulp fiber, a dilute aqueous solution of a surfactant is sprayed in the form of a mist while the pulp fiber is suspended in a mixer equipped with a blade rotating at high speed, such as a Henschel mixer. The amount of the surfactant to be added is preferably 0.5 to 2.0% with respect to the pulp fiber, and the aqueous solution to be sprayed is preferably the same amount to double the amount of the pulp fiber.

また、用いる界面活性剤は、エチレンオキサイドを主体とする親水基と直鎖状アルキル基から成る疎水基を併せ持つことを特徴とし、疎水性のPP(ポリプロピレン)と親水性のパルプ繊維との親和と、該界面活性剤とその後に添加するPIB(ポリイソブチレン)の親和を促すことが出来る。   The surfactant to be used is characterized by having both a hydrophilic group mainly composed of ethylene oxide and a hydrophobic group composed of a linear alkyl group, and the affinity between hydrophobic PP (polypropylene) and hydrophilic pulp fiber. The affinity between the surfactant and PIB (polyisobutylene) added thereafter can be promoted.

次に、界面活性剤の水溶液を含有して湿潤状態のパルプ繊維が混合機内で浮遊する状態を維持しながら、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)の希薄水分散液を吹付ける。PIB(ポリイソブチレン)は極めて微細な粒子状で水中に均一分散しており、パルプ繊維が含んでいる界面活性剤との優れた親和性によって、繊維間への侵入が容易となる。ここで用いたPIB(ポリイソブチレン)は、常温で高い粘着性を呈する分子量80K程度のものを5wt%の希薄分散液とし、パルプ繊維100部に対して2.5部が被覆するように吹付けた。   Next, a dilute aqueous dispersion of PIB (polyisobutylene) is sprayed while maintaining a state in which the wet pulp fiber containing the surfactant aqueous solution floats in the mixer. PIB (polyisobutylene) is in an extremely fine particle form and is uniformly dispersed in water, and penetration between fibers is facilitated due to excellent affinity with the surfactant contained in the pulp fiber. The PIB (polyisobutylene) used here is a 5 wt% dilute dispersion having a molecular weight of about 80K that exhibits high tackiness at room temperature, and sprayed so that 2.5 parts are coated on 100 parts of pulp fibers. It was.

もし、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)の水分散液を噴霧せずに直接投入をした場合は均質な塗布状態が得られず、部分的に過度な湿潤状態を形成し、該部分がパルプ繊維の表面に備える微細繊維が収束するため、十分な強度向上の効果を得ることができない、という問題を有することになる。   If the PIB (polyisobutylene) aqueous dispersion is added directly without spraying, a homogeneous coating state cannot be obtained, and an excessively wet state is partially formed, and this portion is formed on the surface of the pulp fiber. Since the provided fine fibers converge, there is a problem that a sufficient strength improvement effect cannot be obtained.

上述したPIB(ポリイソブチレン)のパルプ繊維への塗布により、過度な湿潤状態を成した場合は、混合機内でパルプ繊維が浮遊し難くなり、壁面に付着して継続したPIB(ポリイソブチレン)の均一な塗布を阻害する状態に陥る。この予測された場合、各原料の噴霧を停止し、混合機内に乾燥空気を投入してパルプ繊維の乾燥を促すことが好ましい。   When an excessively wet state is formed by applying the above-described PIB (polyisobutylene) to the pulp fibers, the pulp fibers are less likely to float in the mixer, and the PIB (polyisobutylene) that has continued to adhere to the wall surface continues to be uniform. Fall into a state of inhibiting proper application. When this is predicted, it is preferable to stop spraying each raw material and to inject dry air into the mixer to promote drying of the pulp fibers.

次に、上記の処理を完了したパルプ繊維にマイカ(扁平状の無機物)粉末を加えて、同様に混合する。マイカ粉末の添加は、上述したパルプ繊維へのPIB(ポリイソブチレン)塗布による表面処理に継続して行い、所定量を投入して達成する。混合機内では、パルプ繊維が高速回転する羽根から受けたせん断力によって凝集することなく、解繊状態を維持して成る。この状態下でマイカ粉末を投入し、両材料が気中に浮遊した状態で均一混合を呈した状態を得た段階で撹拌を停止する。   Next, mica (flat inorganic substance) powder is added to the pulp fiber that has been subjected to the above-described treatment, and mixed in the same manner. The addition of mica powder is achieved by continuing the surface treatment by applying PIB (polyisobutylene) to the above-described pulp fibers and adding a predetermined amount. In the mixer, the pulp fibers are maintained in a defibrated state without being agglomerated by shearing force received from blades rotating at high speed. Under this state, the mica powder is charged, and the stirring is stopped when a state where both the materials are suspended in the air and uniform mixing is obtained is obtained.

ここで用いたPP(ポリプロピレン)粉末は、パルプ繊維との複合化による射出成形時の流動性低下を勘案し、低粘度のものを適用する。本実施の形態では、MI(メルトフローインデックス)が40g/10minのものを選択し、溶融混練時にパルプ繊維は繊維長が1.0mmと2.5mmのものを各々用い、に塗布したPIB(ポリイソブチレン)の添加量は過度に溶出せずに適度に残存する塗布量を得ており、パルプ繊維の含有量は流動性喪失を抑制するように30wt%、マイカ粉末は曲げ弾性率の向上に寄与する20wt%、を投入して成る。   The PP (polypropylene) powder used here is a low-viscosity powder in consideration of a decrease in fluidity during injection molding due to compounding with pulp fibers. In this embodiment, an MI (melt flow index) of 40 g / 10 min is selected, and pulp fibers having a fiber length of 1.0 mm and 2.5 mm are used at the time of melt-kneading, respectively, and applied to PIB (polyethylene). The addition amount of isobutylene) is a moderately remaining coating amount that does not elute excessively, the pulp fiber content is 30 wt% so as to suppress loss of fluidity, and mica powder contributes to the improvement of the flexural modulus. 20 wt% is added.

撹拌の停止によって攪拌機の槽内下部で均一混合した状態を滞留したことにより、パルプ繊維に接触したマイカ粉末が繊維表面を覆うように、粘着性に優れたPIB(ポリイソブチレン)を介して保持されて、パルプ繊維同士の凝集が抑止された粉末流体として扱うことが可能な混合物となった。   Due to staying in the uniformly mixed state in the lower part of the stirrer tank by stopping the stirring, the mica powder in contact with the pulp fibers is held via PIB (polyisobutylene) having excellent adhesiveness so as to cover the fiber surface. Thus, the mixture was able to be handled as a powder fluid in which aggregation of pulp fibers was suppressed.

以上の粉末流体の特性を得て連続投入が可能になった上記混合物は、押出機を用いてPP(ポリプロピレン)との溶融混練を行った。このときの押出機のシリンダー温度を調整して、樹脂温度が190℃、好ましくは180℃を越えないように設定したうえで溶融混練を行うことが好ましい。混練が完了したPP(ポリプロピレン)とパルプ繊維の複合体は、押出機から吐出されたストランドを空冷で固化し、これを適度に裁断してペレット化した。   The above mixture, which has been obtained with the above characteristics of powder fluid and can be continuously charged, was melt-kneaded with PP (polypropylene) using an extruder. It is preferable to perform melt-kneading after adjusting the cylinder temperature of the extruder at this time so that the resin temperature does not exceed 190 ° C., preferably 180 ° C. The composite of PP (polypropylene) and pulp fiber after kneading was solidified by air cooling of the strand discharged from the extruder, and this was appropriately cut into pellets.

以下に、上述手段によってパルプ繊維およびマイカ粉末と複合化したPP(ポリプロピレン)を成形材料として射出成形した試験片を用い、一般物性(MI、曲げ強度、曲げ弾性率、衝撃強度、表面外観)を測定した結果を図1に示す。   Below, general physical properties (MI, bending strength, bending elastic modulus, impact strength, surface appearance) are obtained by using a test piece in which PP (polypropylene) compounded with pulp fiber and mica powder by the above-mentioned means is used as a molding material. The measurement results are shown in FIG.

図1は実施の形態1を示す図で、パルプ繊維と複合化したPP(ポリプロピレン)を成形材料として射出成形した試験片を用いて、一般物性を測定した結果を示す図である。   FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the first embodiment, and is a diagram showing results of measuring general physical properties using a test piece obtained by injection-molding PP (polypropylene) combined with pulp fibers as a molding material.

本実施の形態の手段に依らない比較例として、比較例1−1はパルプ繊維に界面活性時のみを塗布した後にマイカ粉末を混合し、押出機による溶融混練とペレット化を行った成形材料、比較例1−2は無処理で凝集した状態のパルプ繊維にマイカ粉末を直接混合した後に押出機を用いて溶融混練およびペレット化した成形材料であり、各々、射出成形によって得た試験片の各種物性を併記した。   As a comparative example that does not depend on the means of the present embodiment, Comparative Example 1-1 is a molding material in which mica powder is mixed after applying the surface activity to the pulp fiber, and melt-kneading and pelletizing by an extruder, Comparative Example 1-2 is a molding material in which mica powder is directly mixed with pulp fibers in an unprocessed and agglomerated state, and then melt-kneaded and pelletized using an extruder, and various test pieces obtained by injection molding are used. The physical properties are also shown.

本実施の形態によるパルプ繊維複合PP(ポリプロピレン)は、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)をパルプ繊維表面の微細繊維間に保持させたことによって、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)を保持しないものと比較して、流動性(MI)、耐衝撃性および表面意匠性に有意に優れている。界面活性剤のみを含浸させたパルプ繊維は、湿潤状態を保持した状態で、マイカ粉末とともに攪拌機の槽内で高速回転する羽根による撹拌状態で受けるせん断力による分散を来たし、押出機における溶融混練時に繊維が保持するPIB(ポリイソブチレン)がPP(ポリプロピレン)に先行して溶融して混練される際に、繊維間にある空気が排除され易く、射出成形時の金型内で受ける高圧によって排除されることがないので、白化を来すことがない。   In the pulp fiber composite PP (polypropylene) according to the present embodiment, PIB (polyisobutylene) is retained between the fine fibers on the surface of the pulp fiber, so that the fluidity is lower than that not retaining PIB (polyisobutylene). (MI), impact resistance and surface design are significantly superior. The pulp fiber impregnated with only the surfactant is dispersed in a state where it is kept wet with the mica powder and shear force received by the blades rotating at high speed in the stirrer tank, and at the time of melt kneading in the extruder When PIB (polyisobutylene) held by the fiber is melted and kneaded prior to PP (polypropylene), the air between the fibers is easily removed and is eliminated by the high pressure received in the mold during injection molding. There will be no whitening.

これに対し、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)を保持せずに界面活性剤のみを含浸させたパルプ繊維(比較例1−1)は、湿潤状態を保持した状態でPP(ポリプロピレン)粉末とともに攪拌機内で高速回転する羽根によって受けるせん断力で分散を来す反面、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)を表面に保持しないので、押出機による溶融混練時に繊維間の空気を十分に排除できず、射出成形時の金型内で受ける高い圧力で排出されて、僅かながらも白化として視認されることになる。   In contrast, the pulp fiber impregnated with only the surfactant without retaining PIB (polyisobutylene) (Comparative Example 1-1) was fast in a stirrer together with PP (polypropylene) powder in a wet state. While dispersion occurs due to the shearing force received by the rotating blades, PIB (polyisobutylene) is not held on the surface, so the air between fibers cannot be sufficiently eliminated during melt-kneading by the extruder, and the inside of the mold during injection molding It is discharged by the high pressure received at, and will be visually recognized as whitening.

一方、界面活性剤とPIB(ポリイソブチレン)を用いた処理を行うこと無しに、攪拌機の槽内で高速回転させたPP(ポリプロピレン)とともに撹拌混合したものを押出機よる溶融混練して得たペレット(比較例1−2)は、パルプ繊維では、パルプ繊維と繊維間に保持する空気をPP(ポリプロピレン)の溶融時に受ける高いせん断力を受けても完全に排除できない。その結果、射出成形時の金型内で受ける高圧下での射出流動時に微細な気泡が排出され、これが成形品表面におけるパルプ繊維の凝集した状態を成す部位で、0.1〜3mm程度の白化点が成形品表面に視認できた。   On the other hand, pellets obtained by melt-kneading with an extruder after stirring and mixing with PP (polypropylene) rotated at high speed in a tank of a stirrer without performing a treatment using a surfactant and PIB (polyisobutylene) In the case of (Comparative Example 1-2), the pulp fiber cannot be completely excluded even if it receives a high shearing force that is received when the PP (polypropylene) melts the air retained between the pulp fiber. As a result, fine bubbles are discharged during the injection flow under high pressure received in the mold during injection molding, and this is the part where the pulp fibers are aggregated on the surface of the molded product, and the whitening of about 0.1 to 3 mm The spots were visible on the surface of the molded product.

また、界面活性剤およびPIB(ポリイソブチレン)を含まない何れの試験片とも、パルプ繊維の表面に付着したPIB(ポリイソブチレン)の高い粘性による緩衝作用を受けることなく衝撃応力を吸収することになるので、破壊しやすくなり、衝撃強度が優位に低下している。併せて、パルプ繊維にマイカ粉末を保持できず、押出機への投入が不均一であることに起因して、複合化した樹脂内での前記マイカ粉末の分散が不十分であった。特に、界面活性剤をも用いてない比較例1−2は、パルプ繊維が解繊すること無しに凝集した状態にあり、この結果、応力の分散も不十分であったことから、衝撃強度の低下が顕著であった。   In addition, any test piece that does not contain a surfactant and PIB (polyisobutylene) absorbs impact stress without receiving a buffering action due to the high viscosity of PIB (polyisobutylene) attached to the surface of the pulp fiber. Therefore, it is easy to break, and the impact strength is significantly reduced. At the same time, the mica powder cannot be held in the pulp fiber, and the mica powder is not sufficiently dispersed in the composite resin due to non-uniform charging into the extruder. In particular, Comparative Example 1-2 in which no surfactant was used was in a state in which the pulp fibers were aggregated without being defibrated, and as a result, the stress was not sufficiently dispersed. The decrease was significant.

このことから、本実施の形態によるパルプ繊維強化の手段は、得られたペレットが前記パルプ繊維における空気の残存が抑止されるとともに、比較例に比較して優位に優れた分散性が得られたことに伴って、繊維の凝集に伴う繊維間に保持することもないので白化の発生を抑制できた。また、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)の高粘性による衝撃吸収性と充填材の優れた分散状態を受けて、高い衝撃強度を発現することも確認できた。   From this, the pulp fiber strengthening means according to the present embodiment obtained the pellets obtained from which the remaining pellets were prevented from remaining air in the pulp fibers, and superior dispersibility was obtained compared to the comparative example. In connection with that, since it was not hold | maintained between the fibers accompanying fiber aggregation, generation | occurrence | production of whitening was able to be suppressed. It was also confirmed that high impact strength was exhibited in response to impact absorption due to high viscosity of PIB (polyisobutylene) and an excellent dispersion state of the filler.

この発明の実施の形態に係るパルプ繊維強化樹脂の製造方法は、繊維表面にある微細繊維が成す隙間に残存する空気が樹脂成形品表面に移行して白化を来すのを防止するため、高速回転する羽根を備えた攪拌槽内に凝集したパルプ繊維を投入して解繊させた後、パルプ繊維との親和性に優れる親水性と疎水性の官能基を共存させた界面活性剤を含浸させた後、粘性と粘着性に優れるオレフィン系のエラストマーを前記界面活性剤の存在下で水に微細粒子状に分散させた希薄水分散液を付着させ、粘着性が付与された表面に扁平状の充填材であるマイカやタルクを投入する。   The method for producing a pulp fiber reinforced resin according to the embodiment of the present invention prevents the air remaining in the gap formed by the fine fibers on the fiber surface from moving to the surface of the resin molded product and causing whitening. After agglomerated pulp fibers are put into a stirring tank equipped with rotating blades and defibrated, they are impregnated with a surfactant coexisting hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups with excellent affinity for pulp fibers. After that, a dilute aqueous dispersion in which fine particles of olefin-based elastomer having excellent viscosity and tackiness are dispersed in water in the presence of the surfactant is attached, and a flat surface is formed on the tacky surface. Mica and talc fillers are introduced.

この状態で、前記扁平状の充填材との衝突によるせん断力を受けて凝集したパルプ繊維が解繊し、相互が均一分散した状態が確保できる。これを攪拌機の回転を停止させて槽内底部に静置すると、パルプ繊維の表面に塗布したPIB(ポリイソブチレン)の粘着力によって前記充填材が付着するので、パルプ繊維が再度に凝集することを抑止できる。   In this state, the aggregated pulp fibers are defibrated by receiving a shearing force caused by the collision with the flat filler, and a state where the fibers are uniformly dispersed can be secured. When the rotation of the stirrer is stopped and left at the bottom of the tank, the filler adheres due to the adhesive force of PIB (polyisobutylene) applied to the surface of the pulp fiber, so that the pulp fiber agglomerates again. Can be suppressed.

これによって、高速で回転する羽根などで微細繊維によるパルプ繊維同士の凝集が阻害される。従って、上記処理を施したパルプ繊維をPP(ポリプロピレン)などの熱可塑性樹脂とともに押出機などを用いて安定した分散状態を得て、160〜190℃の溶融状態での混練を行った。   Thereby, aggregation of pulp fibers by fine fibers is inhibited by blades rotating at high speed. Therefore, the pulp fiber which gave the said process obtained the stable dispersion | distribution state using the extruder etc. with thermoplastic resins, such as PP (polypropylene), and knead | mixed in the 160-190 degreeC molten state.

この発明の実施の形態に係るパルプ繊維強化樹脂の製造方法は、混合機の槽内で浮遊した状態で混合したPIB(ポリイソブチレン)を塗布したパルプ繊維と扁平状無機物の混合物は、静置後に前記扁平状無機物が前記パルプ繊維の備える微細繊維上のPIB(ポリイソブチレン)を介して保持されるので、パルプ繊維が前記微細繊維に起因した凝集を呈さないので、扱いが容易なうえ、複合化による樹脂への分散性に優れる。   The pulp fiber reinforced resin production method according to the embodiment of the present invention is a mixture of pulp fiber and flat inorganic material coated with PIB (polyisobutylene) mixed in a floating state in a tank of a mixer. Since the flat inorganic material is held via PIB (polyisobutylene) on the fine fibers provided in the pulp fibers, the pulp fibers do not exhibit agglomeration due to the fine fibers, so that they are easy to handle and complex. Excellent dispersibility in resin.

パルプ繊維が熱可塑性樹脂との複合化における優れた分散性を呈したことによって各種強度の向上効果が得られ、特に、パルプ繊維表面に高粘性のエラストマーを付着させたことによる複合化に伴う脆性向上に伴う衝撃強度の低下を抑制できた。   The pulp fiber exhibits excellent dispersibility in the compounding with the thermoplastic resin, resulting in various strength improvement effects, especially the brittleness associated with the compounding due to the adhesion of a highly viscous elastomer to the pulp fiber surface. It was possible to suppress a decrease in impact strength accompanying the improvement.

併せて、微細繊維間および表面にオレフィン系エラストマーを付着させたので、PP(ポリプロピレン)などの熱可塑性樹脂と溶融混練を行ってペレットを製造する際に、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)が前記熱可塑性樹脂に先行して溶融して容易に空気を排出してペレット内に残留するのを抑制、射出成形の高圧による排出に起因した成形品表面部分に発生する白化の発生を抑制する。   In addition, since the olefin-based elastomer is adhered between the fine fibers and between the surfaces, PIB (polyisobutylene) is added to the thermoplastic resin when a pellet is produced by melt-kneading with a thermoplastic resin such as PP (polypropylene). It is possible to prevent the air from being easily discharged and remaining in the pellets prior to melting, and to suppress the occurrence of whitening occurring on the surface of the molded product due to the discharge due to the high pressure of injection molding.

本実施の形態の手段に依らない比較例として、比較例1はパルプ繊維に界面活性時のみを塗布した後にマイカ粉末を混合し、押出機による溶融混練とペレット化を行った成形材料、比較例2は無処理で凝集した状態のパルプ繊維にマイカ粉末を直接混合した後に押出機を用いて溶融混練およびペレット化した成形材料であり、各々、射出成形によって得た試験片の各種物性を併記した。 As a comparative example that does not depend on the means of the present embodiment, Comparative Example 1 is a molding material in which mica powder is mixed only after the surface activity is applied to pulp fibers, and melt-kneaded and pelletized by an extruder, Comparative Example 2 is a molding material in which mica powder is directly mixed with pulp fibers in an unprocessed and agglomerated state, and then melt-kneaded and pelletized using an extruder, and each physical property of a test piece obtained by injection molding is also shown. .

これに対し、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)を保持せずに界面活性剤のみを含浸させたパルプ繊維(比較例1)は、湿潤状態を保持した状態でPP(ポリプロピレン)粉末とともに攪拌機内で高速回転する羽根によって受けるせん断力で分散を来す反面、PIB(ポリイソブチレン)を表面に保持しないので、押出機による溶融混練時に繊維間の空気を十分に排除できず、射出成形時の金型内で受ける高い圧力で排出されて、僅かながらも白化として視認されることになる。 In contrast, pulp fiber (Comparative Example 1 ) impregnated with only a surfactant without retaining PIB (polyisobutylene) rotates at high speed in a stirrer together with PP (polypropylene) powder in a wet state. While dispersion is caused by the shearing force received by the blades, PIB (polyisobutylene) is not held on the surface, so air between fibers cannot be sufficiently eliminated during melt-kneading by an extruder and is received in the mold during injection molding. It is discharged at a high pressure and will be visually recognized as whitening.

一方、界面活性剤とPIB(ポリイソブチレン)を用いた処理を行うこと無しに、攪拌機の槽内で高速回転させたPP(ポリプロピレン)とともに撹拌混合したものを押出機よる溶融混練して得たペレット(比較例2)は、パルプ繊維では、パルプ繊維と繊維間に保持する空気をPP(ポリプロピレン)の溶融時に受ける高いせん断力を受けても完全に排除できない。その結果、射出成形時の金型内で受ける高圧下での射出流動時に微細な気泡が排出され、これが成形品表面におけるパルプ繊維の凝集した状態を成す部位で、0.1〜3mm程度の白化点が成形品表面に視認できた。 On the other hand, pellets obtained by melt-kneading with an extruder after stirring and mixing with PP (polypropylene) rotated at high speed in a tank of a stirrer without performing a treatment using a surfactant and PIB (polyisobutylene) In the case of (Comparative Example 2 ), the pulp fiber cannot be completely eliminated even if it receives a high shear force that is received when the PP (polypropylene) melts the air retained between the pulp fiber. As a result, fine bubbles are discharged during the injection flow under high pressure received in the mold during injection molding, and this is the part where the pulp fibers are aggregated on the surface of the molded product, and the whitening of about 0.1 to 3 mm The spots were visible on the surface of the molded product.

Therefore, it is easy to break, and the impact strength is significantly reduced. At the same time, the mica powder cannot be held in the pulp fiber, and the mica powder is not sufficiently dispersed in the composite resin due to non-uniform charging into the extruder .
