Description

  The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition, a production method thereof, a molded body, and a film.

  In recent years, with the expansion of the display market, there has been an increasing demand for clearer images, and there is a demand for optical materials with heat resistance, mechanical strength, and higher optical properties, rather than simple transparent materials. Yes.

  As the optical material, acrylic resins are attracting attention from the viewpoints of transparency, surface hardness, optical properties, and the like. Among acrylic resins, acrylic resins improved in heat resistance by copolymerizing glutaric anhydride, maleic anhydride, etc. and resin compositions containing the same are introduced as excellent optical materials. ing. Since acrylic resin with high heat resistance has relatively low strength, there is a concern that productivity is inferior in terms of film forming processability and handling property. Therefore, as a technique for improving the strength of the heat-resistant acrylic resin, a technique is disclosed in which a crosslinked elastic body having a multilayer structure is contained in an acrylic resin containing a glutaric anhydride unit (see, for example, Patent Document 1). . Moreover, the technique which adds an acrylic rubber to the acrylic resin containing a maleic anhydride unit is disclosed (for example, refer patent document 2).

JP 2000-178399 A JP 05-119217 A

  However, the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above are such that the heat resistance is lowered by the addition of a rubber component, and the viscosity as a resin composition is increased, so that the resin is decomposed during molding of a film or the like. There is a problem that foaming easily occurs. For this reason, a method of adding a heat stabilizer or the like to suppress resin foaming can be mentioned. However, if added in a large amount, the surface of the molded body may bleed out, leading to poor appearance.

  Furthermore, in recent years, an appropriate surface slipperiness has been desired on the surface of the molded body. In particular, at the time of film formation, it is desirable to have an appropriate surface slipperiness when sampling a raw film on a roll, and it is difficult to solve all the problems with the above technique. Here, the term “surface slipperiness” refers to surface adhesion between films. If the surface adhesion between the films is too strong (there is almost no surface slippage), when the film is twisted or distorted during collection as a raw film on a roll, a partial stress is generated. There is a risk of cracks and cracks in the film. Further, when a film having a certain width is cut out from the original fabric, an appropriate surface slipperiness is desired when the film is peeled off.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, maintains optical properties and heat resistance, has excellent mechanical strength (toughness), suppresses bleeding out of the surface of the molded body, and suppresses the surface of the molded body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a thermoplastic resin composition having sliding properties and a method for producing the same.

As a result of intensive studies on the above problems, the present inventors have found that a resin containing an acrylic resin (a) having a specific composition ratio and rubber-containing copolymer particles (b) having a multilayer structure. If the amount of residual monomer (% by mass) in the resin composition is within a certain range, the optical characteristics, heat resistance and mechanical strength are maintained, and the molded body surface has little bleed-out and the molded body surface. The present inventors have found that a thermoplastic resin composition excellent in slipperiness can be provided and completed the present invention.

[Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4]
The resin compositions of Examples and Comparative Examples were mixed for 5 minutes using a Henschel mixer according to the blending ratios shown in Table 1, and then a 15 μ polymer filter made of SUS304 (manufactured by Fuji Filter) was installed at the strand discharge port. It pelletized at 250 degreeC using the 30-mm vented twin-screw extruder (The Nakata Machinery Co., Ltd. make, A type). As the polymer filter, a pleated polymer filter (manufactured by Fuji Filter, 1 × 330 L) was used.

[Comparative Example 5]
Only in Comparative Example 5, pelletization was performed at 250 ° C. using a 30 mm vented twin screw extruder (type A, manufactured by Nakatani Machinery Co., Ltd.) without a polymer filter.

<Injection molding>
The various pellets obtained were subjected to a predetermined condition under the conditions of a molding temperature of 240 to 260 ° C., an injection pressure of 900 kgf / cm 2, and a mold temperature of 50 ° C. using an in-line screw injection molding machine (manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd., IS-75S type). Test pieces were prepared and measured for physical properties. Table 1 shows the blending ratio, the molding temperature of the 60 × 40 × 3 mm injection molded product, and the characteristic evaluation.

<Film forming>
Using a T-die mounting extruder (BT-30-C-36-L type / width 400 mm, T-die mounting / lip thickness 0.8 mm) manufactured by Plastic Engineering Laboratory, screw rotation speed, resin temperature in cylinder of extruder, T An unstretched film was obtained by adjusting the temperature of the die and performing extrusion molding. The flow (extrusion direction) of the film was MD direction, and the direction perpendicular to the MD direction was TD direction. The blending ratio, molding conditions, and film optical properties are shown in Table 1.

  As is clear from the results in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 12, an acrylic resin (a) having an appropriate monomer copolymerization ratio, and a rubber-containing copolymer having a multilayer structure having an appropriate particle diameter (b) -1), (b-2), or (b-3), and the residual monomer amount in the resin composition was appropriate, so that it was excellent in optical properties, heat resistance, mechanical strength, surface slipperiness, etc. Molded bodies and films could be obtained.

  A comparison between Example 7 and other examples showed that the use of a heat stabilizer further improved the bleed-out resistance.

  Comparison between Example 8 and other examples revealed that the smaller the refractive index difference between the acrylic resin (a) and the three-layered rubber-containing copolymer, the better the optical characteristics.

  In comparison with Example 9 and other examples, by using a rubber-containing copolymer having a three-layer structure from two layers, the heat-resistant deformation and heat-resistant deterioration of the rubber-containing copolymer is improved, and the heat resistance As a result, it has been found that the bleed-out property and the optical property are improved, and the bleed-out property and the surface slip property are also improved.

  In Example 10, a resin containing N-phenylmaleimide as the third unit component of the acrylic resin (a) was used, but as in the other examples, heat resistance, mechanical strength, surface slipperiness, etc. are excellent. Molded bodies and films could be obtained. On the other hand, by comparison with other examples, it was found that the use of maleic anhydride as the third unit component has slightly better optical characteristics as chromaticity.

  In Example 11, a resin containing α-methylstyrene as the second unit component of the acrylic resin was used. A comparison between Example 11 and other examples showed that the use of styrene as the second unit component slightly improved the heat deterioration resistance. It was also found that the smaller the refractive index difference between the acrylic resin (a) and the three-layer rubbery copolymer, the better the optical characteristics.

  In Example 12, a resin containing methyl acrylate was used as one of the first unit components of the acrylic resin (a). A comparison between Example 12 and other examples showed that the heat distortion resistance (Vicat softening temperature) was improved by using a methacrylic ester unit as the first unit component.

  In Comparative Example 1, since the rubber-containing copolymer was not mixed, the mechanical strength was low and the amount of residual monomer was not appropriate, so the surface slipperiness was not preferable.

  Moreover, in Comparative Example 2, since the copolymer composition ratio of the acrylic resin is not appropriate, heat resistance and optical characteristics are insufficient. In Comparative Example 3, the amount of the rubber-containing copolymer having a three-layer structure is small. Since the amount was too large, the viscosity of the resin increased and it was considered that the surface slipperiness and bleed-out resistance were adversely affected.

  Furthermore, in Comparative Example 4, the average particle size of the rubber-containing copolymer particles (b′-1) was not appropriate, and the refractive index difference from the acrylic resin (a) was large, so that the optical characteristics tended to decrease. There was also a slight adverse effect on surface slipperiness.

  Finally, in Comparative Example 5, the surface slipperiness was not preferable because the amount of residual monomer in the resin composition was not appropriate.

  With regard to the use of the molded body using the thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention, it can be used generally for applications requiring impact resistance and heat resistance, and can be used for household appliances, transmission devices, hobbies or sports. The present invention has industrial applicability as parts of appliances, or as car body parts or parts of car body parts of automobile, ship or aircraft structures. Particularly, it is suitable as an exterior part requiring impact resistance, and can be used for a bumper, a front grille, a headlamp, a body peripheral part (such as a visor), a tire peripheral part, and the like.

  Moreover, since it is excellent also in optical characteristics, such as transparency, it can be used suitably as a molded object for optical materials. In particular, since it has excellent surface slip characteristics, it can be suitably used as a sheet or film product. For example, light guide plate, diffuser plate, polarizing plate protective film, 1/4 wavelength plate, 1/2 wavelength plate, viewing angle used for displays such as liquid crystal display, plasma display, organic EL display, field emission display, rear projection television The present invention has applicability to control films, retardation films such as liquid crystal optical compensation films, display front plates, display substrates, lenses, touch panels, and transparent substrates used for solar cells.
