Description

The present invention is a mobile phone housing for flame-retardant resin composition, and about the mobile phone casing using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flame retardant resin composition capable of obtaining a cellular phone casing excellent in flame retardancy, rigidity, impact characteristics, hinge strength, fluidity, and surface appearance, and a cellular phone casing obtained by molding the same. .

  Aromatic polycarbonate resin is used in the fields of electronic and electrical equipment and office automation equipment as a resin excellent in mechanical strength, impact strength, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and appearance characteristics. Products are becoming thinner. On the other hand, in this field, there is a growing demand for flame retarding of recently used resins, and therefore there is a demand for the use of flame retardant resin compositions having excellent rigidity, appearance characteristics and fluidity. In particular, the use of foldable mobile phones is more harsh than other mobile devices, such as the users are broader, more frequently used, and may be repeatedly opened and closed or dropped. The expected performance is severe. For this reason, it has been difficult to satisfy the required characteristics with existing flame retardant reinforced resins.

  For example, a method of using glass fiber is known as a means for imparting rigidity, but when glass fiber is contained, rigidity is improved, but fluidity is deteriorated and appearance is deteriorated, and impact resistance is improved. There are drawbacks such as lowering. As a means for solving these problems, a method of adding an aromatic polycarbonate oligomer and a rubber elastic body to a glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate resin is known (see Patent Document 1). However, in this method, in order to obtain a good appearance, it is necessary to increase the mold temperature during molding, and there is room for further improvement. In addition, fluidity and impact resistance are improved, but flame retardancy cannot be imparted.

Moreover, although the method of using a phosphate ester is known as a method of improving the surface appearance of a glass reinforced resin (refer patent document 2), flame retardance is not considered by this method, but impact resistance is good. It was insufficient.
As a method for achieving both physical properties and flame retardancy, a flame retardant resin composition in which a phosphate ester and a fibrous substance are mixed in a mixture of a polycarbonate resin and a rubber elastic body has been proposed (see Patent Document 3). However, when applied to a molded product having a thin actual thickness such as a cellular phone casing, the flame retardancy was insufficient.

When the viscosity average molecular weight is less than 15000, the mechanical properties are remarkably lowered, and when it exceeds 28000, satisfactory fluidity is hardly obtained.

  (B) Glass fibers used in the present invention include short fibers having a fiber length of 140 μm or less (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “short fibers”) and long fibers having a fiber length exceeding 140 μm (hereinafter simply “long fibers”).

The resin composition thus prepared preferably satisfies V-1 at a thickness of 0.75 mm in a UL94 standard vertical combustion test in order to be used for a cellular phone casing.
When molding the casing for the mobile phone of the present invention, the resin composition produced by the above-described method or the like can be used and processed by a usual molding method (injection molding, press molding, injection press molding, etc.). However, in view of productivity, injection molding is preferably employed.

  As a case for a mobile phone in the present invention, for example, a case having a resin thickness of 0.8 mm or less can effectively exhibit the performance of the present invention. This is preferable because it tends to be lighter. That is, the resin composition of the present invention can fully exhibit the effect of being excellent in flammability even in a molded product having a very thin thickness, for example, 0.75 mm in the UL94 standard vertical combustion test satisfies V-1. Is.

  In addition, when the casing has a hinge portion, when it is manufactured by an injection molding method, a weld is usually present in the hinge portion, so that the strength of the hinge portion is obtained. Since sufficient weld strength is required and repeated stress is applied to the hinge part, it is also necessary to have excellent fatigue characteristics. Therefore, those with an excellent balance are said to have excellent hinge strength. be able to. Accordingly, a cellular phone casing having a hinge portion is preferable because it can effectively exhibit the performance of the present invention, which is excellent in hinge strength.

As shown in Table 1, each comparative example can be understood from the following comparison with the examples.
In Comparative Example 1, the amount of glass fiber is 4% by weight, which is less than 5% by weight which is the lower limit of the present invention, and the flame retardancy, repeated fatigue life, and weld fracture point nominal strain are inferior.
Comparative Example 2 is a method in which an aromatic polycarbonate oligomer and a rubber elastic body are added to the glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate resin of Patent Document 1 to improve fluidity and impact resistance characteristics.

It is extremely difficult to obtain a material having both a weld Charpy impact value and a nominal strain at break point by a weld tensile test. If either one is high, the other tends to be low, and those that are both excellent are poor in repeated fatigue fatigue life, and as an evaluation of hinge strength, it is evaluated as low strength, Other physical properties such as the appearance necessary for a cellular phone casing may be inferior.
Also, it is difficult to achieve both the welded Charpy impact test and the repeated tensile fatigue life, or the fracture strain nominal strains of the repeated tensile fatigue life and the welded tensile test. If either one is higher, the other tends to be inferior. Those that are both excellent are often inferior in other physical properties.
In the present invention, a resin composition having a specific composition is excellent in flammability, appearance, and drop strength.
