Description

本発明は、透明性を有し、酸素、水蒸気等のガスバリア性、特に高湿度下でのガスバリア性に優れた包装材料に好適なガスバリア性膜の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a gas barrier film suitable for a packaging material having transparency and excellent gas barrier properties such as oxygen and water vapor, particularly gas barrier properties under high humidity.

近年、酸素あるいは水蒸気等に対するバリア性材料として、フィルム基材に酸化ケイ素、酸化アルミニウム等の無機酸化物を、真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法、化学気相成長法等で形成してなる透明ガスバリア性フィルムが注目されている。そして、かかる透明ガスバリア性フィルムは、一般には透明性、剛性に優れる二軸延伸ポリエステルフィルムからなる基材面に無機酸化物を蒸着したフィルムであるので、そのままでは蒸着層が使用時の摩擦等に弱く、包装用フィルムとして使用する場合、後加工の印刷やラミネート時、又内容物の充填時に、擦れや伸びにより無機酸化物にクラックが入りガスバリア性が低下することがある。
一方、ガスバリア性を有するポリビニルアルコール、エチレン・ビニルアルコール共重合体を二軸延伸フィルム基材に積層する方法(例えば、特許文献1)、あるいはポリビニルアルコールとポリ(メタ)アクリル酸との組成物を二軸延伸フィルム基材に被覆する方法(例えば、特許文献2)が提案されている。しかしながら、ポリビニルアルコールを積層してなるガスバリア性フィルムは、高湿度下での酸素バリア性が低下し、ポリビニルアルコールとポリ(メタ)アクリル酸との組成物は、エステル化を十分に進行させて、フィルムのガスバリア性を高めるためには高温で長時間の加熱が必要であり生産性に問題があり、また、高湿度下でのガスバリア性は不十分であった。また、高温で長時間反応させることによりフィルムが着色し、外観を損ねるため食品包装用には改善が必要である。
他方、ポリビニルアルコールとポリ(メタ)アクリル酸との組成物はエステル化に高温で長時間の反応が必要なことから、ポリアクリル酸にイソシアネート化合物等の架橋剤成分を添加する方法(例えば、特許文献3)、更には金属イオンと反応させる方法(例えば、特許文献4)等が提案されているが、かかる方法においても、ポリアクリル酸を架橋剤成分で架橋するには、実施例に記載されているように、180〜200℃で5分間と高温での処理を必要とする。
In recent years, as a barrier material against oxygen or water vapor, inorganic oxides such as silicon oxide and aluminum oxide have been formed on film substrates by vacuum deposition, sputtering, ion plating, chemical vapor deposition, etc. A transparent gas barrier film is attracting attention. Such a transparent gas barrier film is a film obtained by depositing an inorganic oxide on a base material surface made of a biaxially stretched polyester film that is generally excellent in transparency and rigidity. When used as a packaging film, the inorganic oxide may be cracked by rubbing or stretching during post-processing printing or laminating or filling the contents, and the gas barrier property may be lowered.
On the other hand, a method of laminating a polyvinyl alcohol having a gas barrier property and an ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer on a biaxially stretched film substrate (for example, Patent Document 1), or a composition of polyvinyl alcohol and poly (meth) acrylic acid A method of coating a biaxially stretched film substrate (for example, Patent Document 2) has been proposed. However, the gas barrier film formed by laminating polyvinyl alcohol has a reduced oxygen barrier property under high humidity, and the composition of polyvinyl alcohol and poly (meth) acrylic acid has sufficiently advanced esterification, In order to improve the gas barrier property of the film, heating at a high temperature for a long time is required, which causes a problem in productivity, and the gas barrier property under high humidity is insufficient. Further, since the film is colored by reacting at high temperature for a long time and the appearance is impaired, improvement for food packaging is necessary.
On the other hand, since a composition of polyvinyl alcohol and poly (meth) acrylic acid requires a long reaction at a high temperature for esterification, a method of adding a crosslinking agent component such as an isocyanate compound to polyacrylic acid (for example, a patent) Document 3) and a method of reacting with a metal ion (for example, Patent Document 4) have been proposed. In this method, polyacrylic acid is crosslinked with a crosslinking agent component as described in Examples. As shown, it requires treatment at 180 to 200 ° C. for 5 minutes and at a high temperature.

When visible light and ultraviolet light are used as the ionizing radiation, it is necessary to add a photopolymerization initiator to the solution of the polyvalent metal salt of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound. As the photopolymerization initiator, known ones can be used. For example, Darocur 1173 (manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals), Irgacure 184 (manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals), Esacure KT55 (Lamberti) And a radical polymerization initiator manufactured and sold under a trade name such as Furthermore, a polymerization accelerator can be added to improve the polymerization degree or polymerization rate, and examples thereof include N, N-dimethylamino-ethyl- (meth) acrylate and N- (meth) acryloyl-morpholine.

不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩の溶液を予備重合する際は、不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩を溶媒の存在下で予備重合する必要がある。予備重合する際の不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の溶液の濃度は、不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の結晶が析出しない限り、とくに限定はされないが、通常、70重量%以下、とくに60〜20重量%の範囲、換言すれば、溶媒(水)の含有量を30重量%以上、とくに40〜80重量%の範囲にしておくことが好ましい。
また、不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩を溶媒の存在下で予備重合する際の温度は、溶媒が沸騰する温度でない限りとくに限定はされないが、通常、60℃以下、とくに常温〜50℃の範囲で行うことが好ましい。予備重合する際の温度を高くし過ぎると、溶媒の蒸発が速くなり、不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の結晶が析出し易くなり、一方、温度が低すぎる場合は、本重合後に溶媒を乾燥する時間が長くなり、ガスバリア性膜の製造ライン等を長くする必要がある。
不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の溶液を予備重合する際には、不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の重合率を70%以下、とくに30〜60%の範囲に留めておくことが好ましい。予備重合する際に、重合率を70%以下に留めておくと、不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の溶液中の水分量が30重量%以下と低くても、本重合して得られるガスバリア性膜の外観及びガスバリア性が優れる。
本発明における不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の重合率(予備重合及び本重合後)は、以下の測定方法により求めた。
重合率(%):〔(B/B)UV後/(B/B)モノマー〕×100

830cm−1付近のビニル基に結合する水素のδC−Hに基づく吸光度B:赤外線吸収スペクトルの800cm−1と850cm−1の吸光度とを直線(P)で結び、800〜850cm−1間の最大吸光度(830cm−1付近)から垂直に直線(Q)を下ろし、当該直線(Q)と直線(P)との交点と最大吸光度との吸光度の距離(長さ)を吸光度Bとする。
1520cm−1付近のカルボキシレートイオンのνC=Oに基づく吸光度B:赤外線吸収スペクトルの1480cm−1と1630cm−1の吸光度とを直線(L)で結び、1480〜1630cm−1間の最大吸光度(1520cm−1付近)から垂直に直線(M)を下ろし、当該直線(M)と直線(L)との交点と最大吸光度との吸光度の距離(長さ)を吸光度Bとした。尚、最大吸光度(1520cm−1付近)は、対イオンの金属種によりピーク位置が変化することがあり、例えば、カルシウムでは1520cm−1付近、亜鉛では1520cm−1付近、マグネシウムでは1540cm−1付近である。
次いで、上記方法で求めた吸光度B及び吸光度Bから比(B/B)を求める。また重合率は上記計算式のように、モノマーの吸光度比(B/B)モノマーとUV照射(重合後)後の(B/B)UV後を測定し求める。
なお、本発明のおける赤外線スペクトルの測定(赤外線全反射測定:ATR法)は、日本分光社製FT−IR350装置を用い、KRS−5(Thallium Bromide−Iodide)結晶を装着して、入射角45度、室温、分解能4cm−1、積算回数150回の条件で行う。
When prepolymerizing a solution of an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt, it is necessary to prepolymerize the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt in the presence of a solvent. The concentration of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt solution at the time of prepolymerization is not particularly limited as long as the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt crystals do not precipitate, but is usually 70% by weight or less, particularly The range of 60 to 20% by weight, in other words, the content of the solvent (water) is preferably 30% by weight or more, particularly 40 to 80% by weight.
The temperature at which the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt is prepolymerized in the presence of a solvent is not particularly limited as long as it is not the temperature at which the solvent boils, but is usually 60 ° C. or less, particularly from room temperature to 50 ° C. It is preferable to carry out within a range. If the temperature at the prepolymerization is too high, the solvent evaporates faster and crystals of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt are likely to precipitate, whereas if the temperature is too low, the solvent is removed after the main polymerization. It is necessary to lengthen the drying time and lengthen the production line of the gas barrier film.
When prepolymerizing the solution of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt, the polymerization rate of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt is preferably 70% or less, particularly preferably in the range of 30 to 60%. . When the prepolymerization is carried out, if the polymerization rate is kept at 70% or less, the gas barrier obtained by the main polymerization can be obtained even if the water content in the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt solution is as low as 30% by weight or less. The appearance and gas barrier properties of the conductive film are excellent.
The polymerization rate (after prepolymerization and main polymerization) of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt in the present invention was determined by the following measurement method.
Polymerization rate (%): [(B 1 / B) after UV / (B 1 / B) monomer ] × 100
* (B 1 / B) after UV: ultraviolet irradiation (after polymerization) after (B 1 / B)
* (B 1 / B) Monomer: Monomer (before polymerization) of (B 1 / B)
(B 1 / B) was defined as described below.
Ratio of absorbance B 1 based on δC—H of hydrogen bonded to a vinyl group near 830 cm −1 to absorbance B based on νC═O of carboxylate ions near 1520 cm −1 in the infrared absorption spectrum (B 1 / B) Cut out a measurement sample of 1 cm × 3 cm from the (preliminary) polymerized film, and obtained the infrared absorption spectrum of the surface (polymer (A) layer) by infrared total reflection measurement (ATR method). First, absorbance B 1 and absorbance B are determined.
830 cm -1 vicinity absorbance based .delta.C-H of hydrogen binding to vinyl groups B 1: bear and the absorbance of the infrared absorption spectrum of 800 cm -1 and 850 cm -1 in a straight line (P), between 800~850Cm -1 A straight line (Q) is dropped vertically from the maximum absorbance (near 830 cm −1 ), and the distance (length) of the absorbance between the intersection of the straight line (Q) and the straight line (P) and the maximum absorbance is defined as absorbance B 1 .
1520 cm -1 absorbance based νC = O of carboxylate ions in the vicinity of B: the absorbance of the infrared absorption spectrum of 1480 cm -1 and 1630 cm -1 connected by a straight line (L), 1480~1630cm maximum absorbance between -1 (1520 cm The straight line (M) was dropped vertically from the vicinity of −1 ), and the absorbance distance (length) between the intersection of the straight line (M) and the straight line (L) and the maximum absorbance was defined as absorbance B. The peak position of maximum absorbance (near 1520 cm −1 ) may vary depending on the metal species of the counter ion. For example, calcium is near 1520 cm −1 , zinc is near 1520 cm −1 , and magnesium is near 1540 cm −1 . is there.
Next, the ratio (B 1 / B) is determined from the absorbance B 1 and absorbance B determined by the above method. The rate of polymerization as described above formulas, the absorbance ratio of the monomer (B 1 / B) monomer and UV irradiation (after polymerization) after (B 1 / B) obtaining measured after UV.
In addition, the measurement of the infrared spectrum (infrared total reflection measurement: ATR method) in the present invention uses an FT-IR350 apparatus manufactured by JASCO Corporation, and a KRS-5 (Thallium Bromide-Iodide) crystal is attached, and the incident angle is 45. Degree, room temperature, resolution of 4 cm −1 , and 150 times of integration.

不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の溶液を電離性放射線を照射して予備重合する場合は、通常、電離性放射線の照射量を1〜50mJ、とくに3〜15mJの範囲にすることが好ましい。照射量が50mJを超えると予備重合時の重合率が高くなり、本重合して得られるガスバリア性膜の外観、特に透明性が低下する虞がある。   When prepolymerizing a solution of an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt by irradiating with ionizing radiation, it is usually preferable to set the irradiation amount of ionizing radiation to a range of 1 to 50 mJ, particularly 3 to 15 mJ. When the irradiation amount exceeds 50 mJ, the polymerization rate at the time of prepolymerization increases, and the appearance, particularly transparency, of the gas barrier film obtained by the main polymerization may be reduced.

予備重合した後引き続き本重合を行うが、本重合する際には、塗工液を一部乾燥後に行うことが好ましい。また、塗工液の乾燥は溶媒を完全に除去するのではなく、塗工液中に適度の溶媒(水溶液を用いる場合は水分)、好ましくは3〜60重量%の範囲で溶媒を含む状態で本重合することが好ましい。塗工液に含まれる溶媒がない場合は、本重合して得られるガスバリア性膜の酸素バリア性が低下する虞があり、塗工液に含まれる溶媒が多すぎる場合は、本重合して得られるガスバリア性膜の外観、特に透明性が低下する虞がある。
予備重合後の本重合を電離性放射線を照射して行う場合は、通常、電離性放射線の照射量を50〜300mJ、とくに100〜200mJの範囲にすることが好ましい。照射量をかかる範囲にすることにより、重合率が80%以上、好ましくは90%のガスバリア性膜が安定して得られる。
Subsequent to the prepolymerization, the main polymerization is continued. In the main polymerization, it is preferable that the coating liquid is partially dried. In addition, the drying of the coating liquid does not completely remove the solvent, but a suitable solvent (water if an aqueous solution is used) in the coating liquid, preferably in a state containing the solvent in the range of 3 to 60% by weight. The main polymerization is preferable. When there is no solvent contained in the coating liquid, there is a risk that the oxygen barrier property of the gas barrier film obtained by the main polymerization may be reduced. When too much solvent is contained in the coating liquid, the main liquid is obtained by polymerization. There is a possibility that the appearance, particularly transparency, of the gas barrier film is reduced.
When the main polymerization after the prepolymerization is performed by irradiating with ionizing radiation, it is usually preferable to set the irradiation amount of the ionizing radiation in the range of 50 to 300 mJ, particularly 100 to 200 mJ. By setting the irradiation amount in such a range, a gas barrier film having a polymerization rate of 80% or more, preferably 90% can be stably obtained.

ガスバリア性膜
本発明の製造方法で得られるガスバリア性膜は、通常、赤外線吸収スペクトルにおける1700cm−1付近のカルボン酸基のνC=Oに基づく吸光度Aと1520cm−1付近のカルボキシレートイオンのνC=Oに基づく吸光度Aとの比(A/A)が0.25未満、好ましくは0.20未満の範囲にある不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩の重合体からなる。
不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩の重合体からなるガスバリア性膜は、カルボン酸基と多価金属がイオン架橋してなるカルボキシレートイオンと遊離のカルボン酸基が存在し、夫々、赤外線スペクトルで、遊離のカルボン酸基のνC=Oに基づく吸収が1700cm−1付近にあり、カルボキシレートイオンのνC=Oに基づく吸収が1520cm−1付近にある。
したがって、本発明の製造方法で得られるガスバリア性膜において、(A/A)が0.25未満であるということは、遊離のカルボン酸基が存在しないか、少ないことを示しており、0.25を越える膜は、遊離のカルボン酸基の含有量が多く、高湿度下での耐ガスバリア性が改良されない虞がある。
本発明における1700cm−1付近のカルボン酸基のνC=Oに基づく吸光度Aと赤外線吸収スペクトルにおける1520cm−1付近のカルボキシレートイオンのνC=Oに基づく吸光度Aとの比(A/A)は、ガスバリア性膜(ガスバリア性積層体)から1cm×3cmの測定用サンプルを切り出し、その表面(不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩重合体層)の赤外線吸収スペクトルを赤外線全反射測定(ATR法)に得、以下の手順で、先ず、吸光度A及び吸光度Aを求めた。
1700cm−1付近のカルボン酸基のνC=Oに基づく吸光度A:赤外線吸収スペクトルの1660cm−1と1760cm−1の吸光度とを直線(N)で結び、1660〜1760cm−1間の最大吸光度(1700cm−1付近)から垂直に直線(O)を下ろし、当該直線(O)と直線(N)との交点と最大吸光度との吸光度の距離(長さ)を吸光度Aとした。
1520cm−1付近のカルボキシレートイオンのνC=Oに基づく吸光度A:赤外線吸収スペクトルの1480cm−1と1630cm−1の吸光度とを直線(L)で結び、1480〜1630cm−1間の最大吸光度(1520cm−1付近)から垂直に直線(M)を下ろし、当該直線(M)と直線(L)との交点と最大吸光度との吸光度の距離(長さ)を吸光度Aとした。尚、最大吸光度(1520cm−1付近)は、対イオンの金属種によりピーク位置が変化することがあり、例えば、カルシウムでは1520cm−1付近、亜鉛では1520cm−1付近、マグネシウムでは1540cm−1付近及びナトリウム(Na)では1540cm−1付近である。
次いで、上記方法で求めた吸光度A及び吸光度Aから比(A/A)を求めた。
なお、本発明のおける赤外線スペクトルの測定(赤外線全反射測定:ATR法)は、
日本分光社製FT−IR350装置を用い、KRS−5(Thallium Bromide−Iodide)結晶を装着して、入射角45度、室温、分解能4cm-1、積算回数150回の条件で行った。
Gas barrier film The gas barrier film obtained by the production method of the present invention usually has an absorbance A 0 based on νC = O of a carboxylic acid group near 1700 cm −1 in an infrared absorption spectrum and νC of a carboxylate ion near 1520 cm −1. It consists of a polymer of a polyvalent metal salt of an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound in which the ratio (A 0 / A) to the absorbance A based on ═O is less than 0.25, preferably less than 0.20.
A gas barrier film made of a polymer of a polyvalent metal salt of an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound has a carboxylate ion formed by ionic crosslinking of a carboxylic acid group and a polyvalent metal, and a free carboxylic acid group. Thus, the absorption based on νC═O of the free carboxylic acid group is around 1700 cm −1 , and the absorption based on νC═O of the carboxylate ion is around 1520 cm −1 .
Therefore, in the gas barrier film obtained by the production method of the present invention, (A 0 / A) being less than 0.25 indicates that there are no or few free carboxylic acid groups. A film exceeding .25 has a large content of free carboxylic acid groups, and there is a possibility that the gas barrier resistance under high humidity may not be improved.
Ratio of absorbance A 0 based on νC═O of a carboxylic acid group near 1700 cm −1 in the present invention to absorbance A based on νC═O of a carboxylate ion near 1520 cm −1 in an infrared absorption spectrum (A 0 / A) Cuts out a measurement sample of 1 cm × 3 cm from a gas barrier film (gas barrier laminate), and measures the infrared absorption spectrum of the surface (unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt polymer layer) by infrared total reflection measurement (ATR method). First, the absorbance A 0 and absorbance A were determined by the following procedure.
1700cm absorbance based νC = O -1 vicinity of the carboxylic acid groups A 0: a absorbance of the infrared absorption spectrum of 1660 cm -1 and 1760 cm -1 connected by a straight line (N), 1660~1760cm maximum absorbance between -1 ( The straight line (O) was dropped vertically from around 1700 cm −1, and the absorbance distance (length) between the intersection of the straight line (O) and the straight line (N) and the maximum absorbance was defined as absorbance A 0 .
1520 cm -1 vicinity of carboxylate ion of νC = O based upon the absorbance A: connected by a straight line (L) and the absorbance of the infrared absorption spectrum of 1480 cm -1 and 1630 cm -1, the maximum absorbance between 1480~1630cm -1 (1520cm The straight line (M) was dropped vertically from the vicinity of −1 ), and the absorbance distance (length) between the intersection of the straight line (M) and the straight line (L) and the maximum absorbance was defined as absorbance A. The peak position of maximum absorbance (near 1520 cm −1 ) may vary depending on the metal species of the counter ion. For example, calcium is near 1520 cm −1 , zinc is near 1520 cm −1 , magnesium is near 1540 cm −1 , and In sodium (Na), it is around 1540 cm −1 .
Next, the ratio (A 0 / A) was determined from the absorbance A 0 and the absorbance A determined by the above method.
In addition, the measurement of the infrared spectrum in the present invention (infrared total reflection measurement: ATR method)
Using a FT-IR350 apparatus manufactured by JASCO Corporation, a KRS-5 (Thallium Bromide-Iodide) crystal was mounted, and the measurement was performed under the conditions of an incident angle of 45 degrees, room temperature, resolution of 4 cm −1 , and number of integrations of 150 times.

Is obtained.

表1及び表2から明らかなように、基材層に塗工した不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩溶液に紫外線等の電離性放射線を照射して不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩を重合させる際には水等の溶媒の存在が重要である。
しかも、参考例1〜5に示すように、不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩溶液に含まれる水分量を変化させた場合、溶液に含まれる水分量を45重量%に調整して重合させた場合(参考例2)は酸素バリア性及び透明性がともに優れたガスバリア性積層フィルムが得られるが、溶液に含まれる水分量が70重量%(参考例1)と多い状態、あるいは30重量%以下にした状態(参考例3〜5)で、不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩を重合させた場合は酸素バリア性及び透明性がともに優れたガスバリア性積層フィルムが得られない虞があり、重合時の水分量を厳しく調整する必要があることが分かる。
それに対し、基材層に不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩溶液を塗工し、溶液に含まれる水分量を乾燥せずに70重量%の水分を含む状態で、不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩を予備重合し、引き続き本重合して得た場合(実施例1)は、得られるガスバリア性積層フィルムは参考例1で得られるガスバリア性積層フィルムに比べ、幾分酸素バリア性及び透明性に優れる。とくに、溶液に含まれる水分量を乾燥せずに70重量%の水分を含む状態で不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩を予備重合し、次いで、本重合する前に、予備重合膜を乾燥し含まれる水分量を30重量%〜6重量%(実施例3〜5)と低くしても、酸素バリア性及び透明性に優れたガスバリア性積層フィルムが得られること、即ち、予備重合することにより、本重合前の水分量を厳しく調整する必要がなくなることが明らかであり、ガスバリア性積層フィルムの製造条件に余裕ができる。
As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the polyvalent metal salt of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound is obtained by irradiating the polyvalent metal salt solution of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound coated on the base material layer with ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet rays. In the polymerization, the presence of a solvent such as water is important.
Moreover, as shown in Reference Examples 1 to 5, when the amount of water contained in the polyvalent metal salt solution of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound was changed, the amount of water contained in the solution was adjusted to 45% by weight for polymerization. In the case of (Reference Example 2), a gas barrier laminate film excellent in both oxygen barrier properties and transparency can be obtained, but the amount of water contained in the solution is as high as 70% by weight (Reference Example 1), or 30% by weight. In the state described below (Reference Examples 3 to 5), when a polyvalent metal salt of an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound is polymerized, there is a possibility that a gas barrier laminate film excellent in both oxygen barrier properties and transparency may not be obtained. It can be seen that it is necessary to strictly adjust the water content during polymerization.
On the other hand, a polyvalent metal salt solution of an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound is applied to the base material layer, and the moisture content of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound is not dried and contains 70% by weight of water. In the case where the polyvalent metal salt was prepolymerized and then obtained by subsequent main polymerization (Example 1), the obtained gas barrier laminate film was somewhat more oxygen barrier and less than the gas barrier laminate film obtained in Reference Example 1. Excellent transparency. In particular, the polyvalent metal salt of an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound is prepolymerized in a state containing 70% by weight of water without drying the amount of water contained in the solution, and then the prepolymerized film is dried before main polymerization. Even when the water content is as low as 30 wt% to 6 wt% (Examples 3 to 5), a gas barrier laminate film excellent in oxygen barrier properties and transparency can be obtained, that is, prepolymerized. Thus, it is clear that there is no need to strictly adjust the amount of water before the main polymerization, and the production conditions for the gas barrier laminate film can be afforded.

本発明の不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の重合体からなるガスバリア性膜及びかかるガスバリア性を形成してなるガスバリア性積層体は、高湿度下での耐酸素透過性(ガスバリア性)に優れているので、かかる特徴を活かして、包装材料、特に高いガスバリア性が要求される内容物の食品包装材料を始め、医療用途、工業用途等さまざまな包装材料としても好適に使用し得る。   The gas barrier film made of the polymer of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt of the present invention and the gas barrier laminate formed with such gas barrier properties are excellent in oxygen permeation resistance (gas barrier properties) under high humidity. Therefore, taking advantage of such characteristics, it can be suitably used as packaging materials, particularly food packaging materials having contents that require high gas barrier properties, as well as various packaging materials such as medical uses and industrial uses.
