Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、耐熱性、剛性、タッピング性、及び成形性に優れたガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物に関する。このガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物は電気・電子部品、自動車内装部品特に、インストルメントパネルの芯材に好適である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、マレイミド系共重合体とABS樹脂との樹脂組成物は知られている(特開昭57ー125241)。この樹脂組成物は耐熱性とタッピング性、衝撃強度、成形性に優れているものの、剛性が低いという欠点を持っている。この欠点を改良する目的で、マレイミド系共重合体とABS樹脂との樹脂組成物にガラス繊維をブレンドした樹脂組成物も知られている(特開昭60−47049)。
【0003】
しかしながら、このガラス繊維をブレンドした樹脂組成物は耐熱性、剛性、衝撃性は充分高いものの、タッピング強度と流動性をともに高くすることが出来ないという問題点があった。例えば、マレイミド系共重合体の分子量及び/又はABS樹脂の分子量を低くする事で流動性を高くする事はできるが、タッピング強度が低くなり、ネジによるセルフタッピングが出来なくなり、成形品の組立が困難になる。また、マレイミド系共重合体及び/又はABS樹脂の分子量を高くするか、ABS樹脂の配合量を増やせば、タッピング強度は充分高くなるが、成形性が低下してしまい、射出成形時にショートショット等の不良現象が起こる。
【0004】
熱可塑性樹脂組成物が、耐熱性、剛性を損なうことなく、優れた流動性、タッピング強度を有するということは極めて重要な特性である。流動性が高いと、射出成形が容易で複雑な構造であっても、不良なく成形する事ができ成形性が良好となる。また、タッピング強度が高いと、タッピングネジを用いた2次加工時の成形品組立が容易になり、タッピング性が優れていることになる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようする問題点】
上記で述べたとおりガラス繊維強化されたマレイミド系樹脂組成物において、耐熱性、剛性、タッピング性、成形性のいずれも優れた特性を有するガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物は得られておらず、これらの性質を兼備した該樹脂組成物が強く望まれている。本発明の目的は、これらの問題点を解決しガラス繊維強化されたマレイミド系樹脂組成物の耐熱性、剛性、衝撃強度を損なうことなく、優れた成形性とタッピング強度を付与することにある。
【0006】
【問題点を解決する為の手段】
すなわち、本発明者らは鋭意検討を重ねた結果、特定の組成のマレイミド系共重合体(A)成分、特定の組成のビニル系共重合体(B)成分、特定の組成、ゴム粒径、グラフト率、及び未グラフト平均分子量を持つグラフト共重合体(C)成分、並びにガラス繊維(D)成分を選択し、しかもこれらの各成分の配合比を特定の範囲に規定し、かつ(D)成分を除いた(A)〜(C)の3成分のメルトフローレート(以下、MFRと称する)が特定の範囲になる場合に、極めて優れた耐熱性、剛性、タッピング強度及び成形性を有したガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物を得ることができ、本発明の目的を達成することができる事を見いだしたものである。
【0007】

(C)成分:ブタジエン重合体、ブタジエンと共重合可能なビニル単量体との共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン−ジエン共重合体、及びアクリル酸エステル重合体、アクリル酸エステルと共重合可能なビニル単量体との共重合体から選ばれるゴム状重合体40〜60重量部に、芳香族ビニル単量体75〜80重量%、シアン化ビニル単量体20〜25重量%及びこれらと共重合可能なビニル単量体0〜重量%からなる単量体混合物60〜40重量部をグラフト重合させ、かつ重量平均ゴム粒径が0.2〜0.3μの範囲で、グラフト率が30〜40%の範囲であり、未グラフトコポリマーの重量平均分子量が6〜12万であるグラフト共重合体5〜30重量部、及び
(D)成分:ガラス繊維5〜30重量部よりなる組成物で、かつ(D)成分を除く前記3成分の混合物のMFRが20〜80g/10分の範囲にあるガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物から成るものである。
【0008】
本発明のガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物に含まれる(A)成分のマレイミド系共重合体について説明する。
(A)成分を製造するにあたって、第1の製法としては、芳香族ビニル単量体、不飽和ジカルボン酸イミド誘導体、及びこれらと共重合可能なビニル単量体混合物を共重合させる方法、第2の製法としては、芳香族ビニル単量体、不飽和ジカルボン酸無水物単量体及びこれらと共重合可能なビニル単量体混合物を共重合させた後、この共重合体中の不飽和ジカルボン酸無水物基をアンモニア、及び/又は第1級アミンと反応させてイミド基に変換させる方法が挙げられ、いずれの方法によってもマレイミド系共重合体を得ることができる。
【0009】

【0011】
不飽和ジカルボン酸無水物単量体としては、マレイン酸、イタコン酸、シトラコン酸、アコニット酸等の無水物が挙げられ、これらの中でマレイン酸無水物が特に好ましい。
【0012】
これらと共重合可能なビニル単量体としてはメチルアクリル酸エステル、エチルアクリル酸エステル、ブチルアクリル酸エステル等のアクリル酸エステル単量体,メチルメタクリル酸エステル、エチルメタクリル酸エステル等のメタクリル酸エステル単量体、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等のビニルカルボン酸単量体、アクリル酸アミド、メタクリル酸アミド、及びN−ビニルカルバゾ−ル等が挙げられる。これらの中でアクリル酸エステル、メタクリル酸エステル、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等の単量体が特に好ましい。また、第1の製法では上記の不飽和ジカルボン酸無水物単量体が挙げられる。第2の製法では不飽和ジカルボン酸無水物単量体を用いるが、イミド基へ転換されずに残った不飽和ジカルボン酸無水物基を共重合体中に導入することができる。
【0013】
(A)成分を製造する第1の製法の場合は、塊状−懸濁重合、溶液重合、塊状重合を、第2の製法の場合は、懸濁重合、乳化重合、溶液重合、塊状重合等公知の重合方法を用いることができる。
【0014】
第2の製法で、マレイミド系共重合体を得るためのイミド化反応に用いるアンモニアや第1級アミンは、無水又は水溶液のいずれの状態でもあってもよい。第1級アミンの例としてメチルアミン、エチルアミン、シクロヘキシルアミン等のアルキルアミン、アニリン、トルイジン、ナフチルアミン等の芳香族アミンが挙げられる。これらの中で特にアニリンが好ましい。
【0015】
イミド化反応は溶液状態又は懸濁状態で行う場合は通常の反応容器、例えばオートクレーブ等を用いるのが好ましく、塊状溶融状態で行う場合には、脱揮装置の付いた押出機を用いてもよい。
【0016】
イミド化反応の温度は約80〜350℃であり、好ましくは100〜300℃である。80℃未満の場合には反応速度が遅く、反応に長時間を要して実用的でない。一方350℃を越える場合には重合体の熱分解による物性低下をきたす。イミド化反応時に触媒を用いてもよく、その場合は第3級アミン、例えばトリエチルアミン等が好ましく用いられる。
【0017】
(A)成分に用いられる芳香族ビニル単量体単位は60〜70重量%であり、好ましくは62〜69重量%である。芳香族ビニル単量体単位が60重量%未満では、マレイミド系共重合体の特徴である成形性が失われ、樹脂組成物の成形性が低下する。また不飽和ジカルボン酸イミド誘導体単位は30〜40重量%であり、好ましくは31〜38重量%である。30重量%未満で(B)成分及び(C)成分との相容性が低下し、またガラス繊維との親和性も不充分となりタッピング強度が低下し、また耐熱性も低下する。一方不飽和ジカルボン酸イミド誘導体単位が、40重量%を越えると樹脂組成物が脆くなり、成形性も著しく悪くなる。また、これらと共重合可能なビニル単量体単位は0〜15重量%であり、15重量%を越えると(B)成分及び(C)成分との相容性が低下し、タッピング強度が低下する。
【0018】
(A)成分のマレイミド系共重合体は、ゴム状重合体の存在下で行ってもよく、ゴム状重合体は0〜30重量%が好ましい。ゴム状重合体の量が30重量%を超えると耐熱性、成形性が損なわれる。
なお、ゴム状重合体はブタジエン重合体、ブタジエンと共重合可能なビニル単量体との共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン−ジエン共重合体、及びアクリル酸エステル重合体、アクリル酸エステルと共重合可能なビニル単量体との共重合体等を用いるとができる。
【0019】
次に、(B)成分のビニル系共重合体について説明する。
(B)成分において用いられる芳香族ビニル単量体としては、スチレン、α−メチルスチレン、ビニルトルエン、クロルスチレン等のスチレン系単量体、及びその置換単量体が挙げられ、特にスチレンが好ましい。
【0020】
シアン化ビニル単量体としては、アクリロニトリル、メタクリロニトリル、αークロルアクリロニトリル等があり、特にアクリロニトリルが好ましい。
【0021】
これらと共重合可能なビニル単量体としては、メチルアクリル酸エステル、エチルアクリル酸エステル、ブチルアクリル酸エステル等のアクリル酸エステル単量体、メチルメタクリル酸エステル、エチルメタクリル酸エステル等のメタクリル酸エステル単量体、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等のピニルカルボン酸単量体、アクリル酸アミド、メタクリル酸アミド、及びN−ビニルカルバゾ−ル等が挙げられる。これらの中でアクリル酸エステル、及びメタクリル酸エステル、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等の単量体が特に好ましい。
【0022】
(B)成分も通常の重合方法で製造でき、例えば懸濁重合、溶液重合、乳化重合のどの重合方法でもよい。
【0023】
(B)成分中の芳香族ビニル単量体単位は75〜80重量%であり、特に76〜79重量%が望ましい。75重量%未満では成形性が低下し、80重量%を超えると成形品が脆くなり、タッピング強度が低下する。
シアン化ビニル単量体単位は20〜25重量%であり、特に21〜24重量%が好ましい。20重量%未満では(A)成分及び(C)成分との相溶性が低下してタッピング強度が低下し、25重量%を越えると成形性が低下する。
【0024】
次に、本発明の(C)成分のグラフト重合体について説明する。
(C)成分に使用されるゴム状重合体はブタジエン重合体、ブタジエンと共重合可能なビニル単量体との共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン−ジエン共重合体、及びアクリル酸エステル重合体、アクリル酸エステルと共重合可能なビニル単量体との共重合体等が挙げられる。
【0025】
(C)成分に用いられる芳香族ビニル単量体はスチレン、α−メチルスチレン、ビニルトルエン、クロルスチレン等のスチレン系単量体、及びその置換単量体が挙げられ、特にスチレンが好ましい。
【0026】
シアン化ビニル単量体としては、アクリロニトリル、メタクリロニトリル、αークロルアクリロニトリル等があり、特にアクリロニトリルが好ましい。
【0027】
また、これらと共重合可能なビニル単量体としては、メチルアクリル酸エステル、エチルアクリル酸エステル、ブチルアクリル酸エステル等のアクリル酸エステル単量体,メチルメタクリル酸エステル、エチルメタクリル酸エステル等のメタクリル酸エステル単量体、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等のビニルカルボン酸単量体、アクリル酸アミド、メタクリル酸アミド、及びN−ビニルカルバゾ−ル等が挙げられる。これらの中でアクリル酸エステル、メタクリル酸エステル、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等の単量体が特に好ましい。
【0028】
このグラフト重合体の製造に当たっては、一般に公知のいずれの重合技術も採用可能であって、例えば懸濁重合、乳化重合の如き水性不均一重合、塊状重合、溶液重合及び生成重合体の貧溶媒中での沈殿不均一重合、並びにこれらの組合せ等が挙げられる。
【0029】
ゴム粒径は、重量平均粒径で0.2〜0.3μの範囲にあり、それ以外の範囲ではタッピング強度が低下する。また、グラフト率は30〜40%で、グラフト率が30%未満ではタッピング強度が低下し、グラフト率が40%以上では流動性が低下する問題がある。更に未グラフトコポリマーの重量平均分子量は6〜12万であり、6万未満ではタッピング強度が低下し、12万を超えると流動性が低下する。
【0030】
(C)成分は、ゴム状重合体40〜60重量部存在下に、芳香族ビニル単量体75〜80重量%、シアン化ビニル単量体20〜25重量%及びこれらと共重合可能なビニル単量体0〜15重量%からなる単量体混合物60〜40重量部をグラフト重合させたものである。
好ましくは、ゴム状重合体45〜55重量部存在下に、芳香族ビニル単量体76〜79重量%、シアン化ビニル単量体21〜24重量%及びこれらと共重合可能なビニル単量体0〜10重量%からなる単量体混合物45〜55重量部をグラフト重合させたものである。
芳香族ビニル単量体が75重量%未満では成形性が低下し、80重量%を越えると耐熱性が低下する。また、シアン化ビニル単量体が20重量%未満ではタッピング強度が低下し、25重量%を越えると成形性が低下する。またこれらと共重合可能なビニル単量体が15重量%を越えると(A)成分及び(B)成分との相溶性が低下し、タッピング強度が低下する。さらにゴム状重合体が40重量部未満ではタッピング強度が低下し、60重量部を超えると成形性が低下する。
【0031】
次に、(D)成分のガラス繊維について説明する。
通常ガラス繊維強化組成物はガラス繊維の形状、表面処理状態によって物性が大きく変動する。本発明のガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物においても、ガラス繊維の繊維長は0.3mm以上が好ましく、又アミノシラン、エポキシシラン等のシラン系カップリング剤やチタン系カップリング剤等で処理したガラス繊維を使用することができる。
【0032】
ガラス繊維含有量は5〜30重量であり更に好ましくは10〜20重量である。ガラス繊維が5重量未満の場合は得られる成形品の剛性及び寸法安定性が十分に改良されず、30重量を越えると成形性が劣り、特に射出成形等が難しくなる。
【0033】
本発明のガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物における(A)成分、(B)成分、(C)成分、及び(D)成分の配合比は、(A)成分10〜50重量部、(B)成分40〜80重量部、(C)成分5〜30重量部、(D)成分5〜30重量部である。更に、(A)成分15〜45重量部、(B)成分45〜65重量部、(C)成分10〜25重量部、(D)成分10〜25重量部が好ましい。
(A)成分が10重量部未満では耐熱性が充分でなく、50重量部を超えると成形性が低下する。(B)成分は40重量部未満では成形性が充分でなく、80重量部を超えるとタッピング強度が低下する。(C)成分が5重量部未満ではタッピング強度が充分でなく、30重量部を超えると成形性が低下する。(D)成分が5重量部未満では耐熱性が充分でなく、30重量部を超えると成形性が低下する。
【0034】
本発明のガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物においては、(A)〜(C)各成分の単量体単位及び誘導体単位の比、並びに(A)〜(D)各成分の配合量比だけでは、耐熱性、剛性、成形性、タッピング強度のバランスを良好にする事はできない。タッピング強度は各成分中の単量体単位及び誘導体単位の比と各成分の配合量比のバランスで微妙に変化してしまうので、(A)成分と(B)成分と(C)成分の組成物のMFRが20〜80g/10分の範囲にあって初めて、耐熱性、剛性、成形性、タッピング強度を高くする事が出来る。(A)〜(C)成分の3成分のMFRが20g/10分未満ではタッピング強度は高いが、成形性が充分でなく、MFRが80g/10分を超えると、成形性は良いが、タッピング強度が低くなり、ともに規定の範囲を逸脱すると好ましくない。
【0035】
なお、本発明におけるMFRは、ASTM D−6874に基づき、測定温度265℃、荷重10kg、時間10分の条件で測定した値である。
(A)成分、(B)成分及び(C)成分からなる組成物のMFRは、各成分の単量体単位及び誘導体単位の比、重合度及び各成分の配合量比により調整することができる。一般に(A)成分及び(C)成分が増加するとMFRは小さくなり、(B)成分が増加するとMFRは大きくなる。しかし、同一の重合度でも(A)成分のイミド含有量が多くなるとMFRは小さくなり、又同一のイミド含有量でも重合度が大きくなるとMFRは小さくなる。(B)成分及び(C)成分においても各成分の配合比が同じでも重合度が大ききなるとMFRは小さくなる。また(C)成分においては、一般にゴム状重合体が多くなると、MFRは小さくなる傾向にある。
【0036】
本発明のガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物は、高含量の不飽和ジカルボン酸イミド誘導体を有するマレイミド系共重合体を必須成分とした熱可塑性樹脂とガラス繊維を含有したものであるが、その混合法は特に制限がなく、公知の手段を使用する事が出来る。その手段として例えばバンバリ−ミキサ−、タンブラ−ミキサ−、混合ロ−ル、1軸又は2軸押出機等が挙げられる。混合形態としては通常の溶触混合、マスタ−ペレット等を用いる多段階溶融混練、溶液中でのブレンドより組成物を得る方法がある。
【0037】
また、本発明のガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物には、更に酸化防止剤、紫外線吸収材、難燃剤、可塑剤、滑剤、着色剤及びタルク、シリカ、クレー、マイカ、炭酸カルシウム等の充填剤を添加する事も可能である。
【0038】
更に、本発明のガラス繊維強化熱可塑性樹脂組成物は均衡して優れた耐熱性、耐衝撃性、タッピング強度、成形性(流動性)を有しているので、複雑な構造であっても不良なく成形品を得ることができ、またタッピング強度が高いので、該樹脂組成物の成形品はタッピングネジを用いた成形品組立が容易になる。
従って、タッピングネジを用いて二次加工する自動車部品のドア芯材、インパネコア、スポイラー、ピラーサンルーフフレーム、デフロスターグリル、ランプハウジング等や、電気・電子機器部品、工業用機械部品等に好適である。
【0039】

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composition having excellent heat resistance, rigidity, tapping properties, and moldability. This glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composition is suitable for electrical and electronic parts, automobile interior parts, particularly for the core material of instrument panels.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a resin composition of a maleimide copolymer and an ABS resin is known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-125241). Although this resin composition is excellent in heat resistance, tapping property, impact strength, and moldability, it has a drawback of low rigidity. For the purpose of improving this defect, a resin composition obtained by blending a glass fiber with a resin composition of a maleimide copolymer and an ABS resin is also known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-47049).
[0003]
However, although the resin composition blended with the glass fibers has sufficiently high heat resistance, rigidity, and impact property, there is a problem in that both tapping strength and fluidity cannot be increased. For example, the flowability can be increased by lowering the molecular weight of the maleimide copolymer and / or the molecular weight of the ABS resin, but the tapping strength is lowered and self-tapping with screws cannot be performed, so that the molded product can be assembled. It becomes difficult. Also, if the molecular weight of the maleimide copolymer and / or ABS resin is increased or the blending amount of the ABS resin is increased, the tapping strength is sufficiently increased, but the moldability is reduced, and a short shot or the like at the time of injection molding. The failure phenomenon occurs.
[0004]
It is an extremely important characteristic that the thermoplastic resin composition has excellent fluidity and tapping strength without impairing heat resistance and rigidity. When the fluidity is high, even if the injection molding is easy and the structure is complicated, it can be molded without any defect and the moldability is good. Further, when the tapping strength is high, the assembly of the molded product at the time of secondary processing using the tapping screw becomes easy, and the tapping property is excellent.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the maleimide resin composition reinforced with glass fiber as described above, a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composition having excellent heat resistance, rigidity, tapping properties, and moldability has not been obtained. There is a strong demand for the resin composition having these properties. An object of the present invention is to solve these problems and to impart excellent moldability and tapping strength without impairing the heat resistance, rigidity and impact strength of the glass fiber reinforced maleimide resin composition.

Also in the glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention, the glass fiber has a fiber length of preferably 0.3 mm or more, and glass treated with a silane coupling agent such as aminosilane or epoxysilane, a titanium coupling agent, or the like. Fibers can be used.
[0032]
Glass fiber content is 5-30 weightPartAnd more preferably 10 to 20 wt.PartIt is. 5 weight glass fiberPartIn the case of less than 30%, the rigidity and dimensional stability of the obtained molded product are not sufficiently improved, and 30 weightPartIf it exceeds 1, moldability is inferior, and injection molding and the like are particularly difficult.
[0033]

The balance of heat resistance, rigidity, moldability, and tapping strength cannot be improved. The tapping strength varies slightly depending on the balance between the ratio of monomer units and derivative units in each component and the blending ratio of each component, so the composition of component (A), component (B), and component (C) The heat resistance, rigidity, moldability and tapping strength can be increased only when the MFR of the product is in the range of 20 to 80 g / 10 min. When the MFR of the three components (A) to (C) is less than 20 g / 10 min, the tapping strength is high, but the moldability is not sufficient, and when the MFR exceeds 80 g / 10 min, the moldability is good, but the tapping is good.

The MFR in the present invention is a value measured under the conditions of a measurement temperature of 265 ° C., a load of 10 kg, and a time of 10 minutes based on ASTM D-6874.
The MFR of the composition comprising the component (A), the component (B) and the component (C) can be adjusted by the ratio of the monomer unit and the derivative unit of each component, the degree of polymerization, and the blending ratio of each component. . In general, when the components (A) and (C) increase, the MFR decreases, and when the component (B) increases, the MFR increases. However, the MFR decreases as the imide content of the component (A) increases even at the same degree of polymerization, and the MFR decreases as the degree of polymerization increases even at the same imide content. Even in the component (B) and the component (C), the MFR decreases as the degree of polymerization increases even when the blending ratio of each component is the same. In the component (C), the MFR generally tends to decrease as the amount of the rubbery polymer increases.
[0036]
The glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention contains a thermoplastic resin and a glass fiber, which contain a maleimide copolymer having a high content of an unsaturated dicarboxylic imide derivative as essential components. The method is not particularly limited, and known means can be used. Examples of such means include a Banbury mixer, a tumbler mixer, a mixing roll, a single or twin screw extruder, and the like.

[0038]
Furthermore, the glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention has excellent heat resistance, impact resistance, tapping strength, and moldability (fluidity) in a balanced manner. Since the molded product can be obtained without any problem and the tapping strength is high, the molded product of the resin composition can be easily assembled using a tapping screw.
