Description

  The present invention relates to a polylactic acid resin composition excellent in moldability and appearance of a molded product by adding a plasticizer having a specific structure to polylactic acid.

  In recent years, due to concerns about the depletion of petroleum resources and the problem of an increase in carbon dioxide in the air that causes global warming, biomass resources that do not depend on petroleum as a raw material and do not increase carbon dioxide even when burned are formed. In the polymer field, biomass plastics produced from biomass resources are actively developed. In particular, polylactic acid resin has relatively high heat resistance and mechanical properties among biomass plastics, so its application is expanding to tableware, packaging materials, general merchandise, etc. It has become like this.

  However, polylactic acid has a slow crystallization rate and a long molding cycle during injection molding. In addition, polylactic acid has not been developed to industrial materials such as electric / electronic parts and automobile parts using PC, PBT, PET and the like represented by engineering plastics because of its low hydrolysis resistance.

  By the way, the stereocomplex polylactic acid obtained when poly-L lactic acid and poly-D lactic acid are mixed is more resistant to heat and hydrolysis than homopolylactic acid such as poly-L lactic acid and poly-D lactic acid. , It has the characteristic that crystallization speed is excellent. However, in order to mold while maintaining a high crystallization rate, a high mold temperature of 100 ° C. or higher is required. Therefore, it is difficult to mold with a mold temperature control facility using a normal water temperature control, and its moldability Was insufficient.

In order to improve the moldability of polylactic acid, Patent Document 1 discloses a composition in which a nucleating agent and a plasticizer are added to polylactic acid. However, since the plasticizer shown here has a low molecular weight, it is easy to gasify, and there is a problem of deteriorating the surface appearance of the molded product.
Patent Document 2 discloses a composition in which an organic filler and an ester plasticizer are added, and a polylactic acid resin composition excellent in heat resistance and crystallization speed is obtained. However, the crystallization rate is still insufficient.

<About component A>
The polylactic acid resin used as the component A of the present invention is a mixture of poly-L lactic acid mainly composed of L-lactic acid units and poly-D lactic acid mainly composed of D-lactic acid units.
The poly-L lactic acid resin (component A-1) and the poly-D lactic acid resin (component A-2) of the present invention substantially consist of an L-lactic acid unit or a D-lactic acid unit represented by the formula (1). .

  The optical purity of the poly-L lactic acid resin or poly-D lactic acid resin used in the present invention is preferably 90 to 100 mol%. If the optical purity is lower than this, the crystallinity and melting point of polylactic acid when mixed are lowered, and high heat resistance is difficult to obtain. For this reason, the melting point of the poly-L lactic acid resin or the poly-D lactic acid resin is preferably 160 ° C. or higher, more preferably 170 ° C. or higher, and most preferably 175 ° C. or higher. In this respect, the optical purity of lactic acid and lactide of the polymer raw material is preferably 96 to 100 mol%, more preferably 97.5 to 100 mol%, still more preferably 98.5 to 100 mol%, and particularly preferably 99 to 100 mol%. A range of 100 mol% is selected.

  Examples of the copolymer unit include a D-lactic acid unit in the case of a poly-L lactic acid resin, an L-lactic acid unit in the case of a poly-D lactic acid resin, and units other than the lactic acid unit. The copolymerization ratio of copolymer units other than lactic acid units is preferably 10 mol% or less, more preferably 5 mol% or less, still more preferably 2 mol% or less, and most preferably 1 mol% or less.

  The weight average molecular weights of the poly L-lactic acid resin and the poly D-lactic acid resin are preferably 80,000 to 300,000, more preferably 100,000 to 250,000, in order to make the mechanical properties and moldability of the composition of the present invention compatible. Preferably, a range of 120,000 to 230,000 is selected.

Poly L-lactic acid resin and poly D-lactic acid resin can be produced by a conventionally known method, for example, melt ring-opening polymerization method of L-lactide or D-lactide, solid-phase polymerization method of low molecular weight polylactic acid Furthermore, a direct polymerization method in which lactic acid is dehydrated and condensed can be exemplified. The polymerization reaction can be carried out in a conventionally known reaction apparatus. For example, a vertical reactor or a horizontal reactor equipped with a high-viscosity stirring blade such as a helical ribbon blade can be used alone or in parallel. Moreover, any of a batch type, a continuous type, a semibatch type may be sufficient, and these may be combined. In the solid-state polymerization method, it is preferable to crystallize the prepolymer in advance from the viewpoint of preventing fusion of pellets and production efficiency, and the container itself rotates like a fixed vertical or horizontal reaction vessel, or a tumbler or kiln. In a reaction vessel (such as a rotary kiln), the polymerization is carried out at a constant temperature in the temperature range from the glass transition temperature of the prepolymer to less than the melting point, or gradually with the progress of the polymerization. For the purpose of efficiently removing generated water, a method of reducing the pressure inside the reaction vessels or circulating a heated inert gas stream is also preferably used. For melt ring-opening polymerization of lactide, it is preferable to apply a metal-containing catalyst from the viewpoint of production efficiency and polymer quality. From the viewpoint of catalytic activity and side reaction, a catalyst containing tin, preferably a II-valent catalyst, is preferable. Tin compounds, specifically diethoxytin, dinonyloxytin, tin myristate, tin octylate, tin stearate and the like, among others, tin octylate is exemplified as a particularly preferable agent whose safety has been confirmed by FDA. The amount of the catalyst used is preferably 0.1 × 10 ⁻⁴ to 50 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol per kg of lactide, and further considering the reactivity, color tone and stability of the resulting polylactide, 1 × 10 ⁻⁴ to 30 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol is more preferable, and 2 × 10 ⁻⁴ to 15 × 10 ⁻⁴ mol is particularly preferable. Alcohol may be used as a polymerization initiator. Such alcohol is preferably non-volatile without inhibiting the polymerization of polylactic acid. For example, decanol, dodecanol, tetradecanol, hexadecanol, octadecanol and the like can be suitably used. The metal-containing catalyst used at the time of polymerization is preferably deactivated with a conventionally known deactivator prior to use. The deactivator is not particularly limited as long as it is a deactivator generally used as a deactivator for a polymerization catalyst of a polyester resin, but a phosphono fatty acid ester represented by the following general formula (2) is preferable.

In the formula, R _{11 to} R ₁₃ are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. Examples of the alkenyl group include an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, a pentyl group, and a hexyl group. Examples of the aryl group include a phenyl group and a naphthalenyl group. R _{11 to} R ₁₃ may be the same or different from each other. N ³¹ is an integer of 1 to 3.

In view of efficacy and ease of handling, ethyl diethylphosphonoacetate, ethyl di-n-propylphosphonoacetate, ethyl di-n-butylphosphonoacetate, ethyl di-n-hexylphosphonoacetate, decyl diethylphosphonoacetate, Diethylphosphonoacetic acid octadecyl is preferred. In the formula (2), when the carbon number of R _{11 to} R ₁₃ is 20 or less, the melting point thereof is lower than the production temperature of polylactic acid or the composition, so that the mixture is sufficiently melt-mixed, and the metal polymerization catalyst is efficiently used. Can be supplemented. The phosphono fatty acid ester has an aliphatic hydrocarbon group between the phosphonic acid diester moiety and the carboxylic acid ester moiety. If n ³¹ is an integer of 1 to 3, it is possible to effectively supplement the metal polymerization catalyst of polylactic acid.

  The content of the phosphono fatty acid ester is preferably 0.001 to 0.5 parts by weight, more preferably 0.02 to 0.2 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of polylactic acid. If the content of the phosphono fatty acid ester is too small, the deactivation efficiency of the remaining metal polymerization catalyst is extremely poor, and a sufficient effect cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the amount is too large, contamination of the mold used at the time of molding processing becomes significant. The polymerization deactivator is preferably added at the end of the polymerization, but can be optionally added in each process of extrusion and molding as necessary.

  The mixing ratio of poly-L lactic acid and poly-D lactic acid is preferably contained in the range of 10:90 to 90:10 by weight ratio (A-1 component / A-2 component). Furthermore, a phosphate ester metal salt represented by the formula (3) and / or (4) is added to a mixture of the poly L-lactic acid resin (A-1 component) and the poly D-lactic acid resin (A-2 component). By including in the range of preferably 0.01 to 2.0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight in total of the poly L-lactic acid resin (component A-1) and the poly D-lactic acid resin (component A-2), This is preferable because a polylactic acid resin in which stereocomplex crystals are formed can be obtained. If the phosphate metal salt is less than 0.01 parts by weight, there may be no effect on the formation of stereocomplex crystals and improvement in crystallinity. Decomposition of lactic acid component and generation of foreign matter may be caused. From this viewpoint, the application amount of the phosphate ester metal salt is more preferably selected in the range of 0.02 to 1.0 part by weight, and more preferably 0.03 to 1.0 part by weight.

(Wherein _{R 18, R 19} each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms,, _{M 2} represents an alkali metal atom, an alkaline earth metal atom, zinc atom or aluminum ^{atom, p 33} Represents 1 or 2, and q ³³ represents 0 when M ₂ is an alkali metal atom, alkaline earth metal atom or zinc atom, and 1 or 2 when M ₂ is an aluminum atom.

The polylactic acid thus produced becomes a stereocomplex polylactic acid in which a stereocomplex crystal is highly formed, and the melting enthalpy derived from the polylactic acid resin (component A) crystal in the temperature rising process of the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurement is used. The stereocomplex crystallinity represented by the following formula (1) is preferably 80% or more.
(1) Stereo complex crystallinity = ΔHms / (ΔHms + ΔHmh) × 100
[In the formula (1), ΔHmh and ΔHms are the melting enthalpy (ΔHmh) of the melting point of the crystal, which appears below 190 ° C. in the temperature rising process of the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), respectively, and 190 ° C. or more and 250 It is the melting enthalpy (ΔHms) of the crystalline melting point that appears below ° C. ]
The ΔHmh and ΔHms were determined by measuring the resin composition using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 20 ° C./min.

  The higher the stereocomplex crystallinity, the higher the moldability and heat resistance, and the stereocomplex crystallinity is more preferably 85% or more, and even more preferably 90% or more. When the stereocomplex crystallinity is lower than 80%, the characteristics of the homopolylactic acid crystal derived from the poly-L lactic acid resin or the poly-D lactic acid resin appear, and the heat resistance becomes insufficient.

  The melting point of stereocomplex polylactic acid is preferably 200 ° C. or higher, more preferably 205 ° C. or higher, and still more preferably 210 ° C. or higher. If the melting point of stereocomplex polylactic acid is lower than 200 ° C., the heat resistance is insufficient due to its crystallinity and low melting point.

The melting enthalpy is preferably 20 J / g or more, more preferably 30 J / g or more. When the melting enthalpy is lower than 20 J / g, the crystallinity is low and the heat resistance is insufficient.
Specifically, it is preferable that the stereocomplex crystallinity is 80% or more, the melting point is 200 ° C. or more, and the melting enthalpy is 20 J / g or more.

<About B component>
As the plasticizer (component B) used in the present invention, a plasticizer represented by the following general formula (5) is used.

（式中、Ｒ_１は炭素数８〜２２の直鎖もしくは分岐のアルキル基を表し、Ｒ_２は炭素数1〜３のアルキル基を表し、ｎは５〜２０の範囲であり、ＡＯはエチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ブチレングリコールから選ばれる少なくとも一種を表し、単独でも共重合であっても良い。）

(In the formula, R ₁ represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, R ₂ represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, n is in the range of 5 to 20, and AO is ethylene. It represents at least one selected from glycol, propylene glycol and butylene glycol, and may be single or copolymerized.)

R ₁ represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, preferably 10 to 22, more preferably 12 to 20. When R ₁ is less than 8, the plasticizer is easily gasified, and appearance defects in which gas transfer marks remain on the molded product are likely to occur. Familiar with the larger the resin than R ₁ 22 is deteriorated, the plasticizer tends to bleed out on the surface of the molded article. n is in the range of 5-20, preferably 5-15, more preferably 5-12. When n is 5 or less, the plasticizer is easily gasified, and an appearance defect in which a gas transfer mark remains on the surface of the molded product is likely to occur. If n is 20 or more, the plasticizing effect is lowered, so that sufficient moldability cannot be obtained.

  AO is preferably ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or butylene glycol. If AO has fewer carbon atoms than ethylene glycol, the plasticizer tends to gasify, leaving gas transfer marks on the surface of the molded product. If AO has more carbon atoms than butylene glycol, it will not fit well with the resin. As a result, not only the bleeding is likely to occur but also the plasticizing effect is lowered, so that sufficient moldability cannot be obtained. Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and butylene glycol may be copolymerized alone or in combination, and are preferably copolymerized from the viewpoints of gas generation, compatibility with the resin, and plasticizing effect.

R ₂ is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, compatibility with a large resin than the number of carbon atoms in R ₂ is 3 is deteriorated, unfavorably causing bleed out.
A plasticizer having a monoester type structure as shown in Formula 1 has higher plasticization efficiency and better moldability than a diester type plasticizer.

  If the acid value of the plasticizer is high, the hydrolysis resistance of polylactic acid is greatly reduced. Therefore, the total acid value of the plasticizer used in the present invention is preferably 3 mmgKOH / g or less, and more preferably 1.5 mmgKOH / g or less. The acid value can be measured by neutralization titration in which a titration solution in which potassium hydroxide is dissolved in ethanol is dropped into a solution in which a plasticizer is dissolved in ethanol.

If the plasticizer contains a large amount of moisture, polylactic acid is hydrolyzed at the time of extrusion, which is not preferable because it causes a decrease in physical properties and a decrease in hydrolysis resistance. The amount of water contained in the plasticizer is preferably 1% or less, more preferably 0.5% or less, and even more preferably 0.1% or less.
As such a plasticizer, Leo Fat OC-0503M manufactured by Lion Corporation can be obtained as a commercial product.

<About component C>
The component C end-capping agent indicates a function of blocking by reacting with part or all of the carboxyl group ends of polylactic acid (component A), and is an addition reaction type compound such as a carbodiimide compound or an epoxy compound. is there. If an addition reaction type compound is used, it is not necessary to discharge extra by-products out of the reaction system as in the case of end-capping by dehydration condensation reaction of alcohol and carboxyl group. Therefore, by adding, mixing, and reacting an addition reaction type end-capping agent, it is possible to obtain a sufficient carboxyl group end-capping effect while suppressing decomposition of the resin by a by-product, and practically sufficient resistance. A resin composition having hydrolyzability and a molded product made of the resin composition can be obtained.

Here, the number of atoms in the ring structure means the number of atoms that directly constitute the ring structure, and is, for example, 8 for an 8-membered ring and 50 for a 50-membered ring.

From the standpoint of reactivity, there is no particular limitation on the upper limit of the number of ring members, but cyclic carbodiimide compounds having more than 50 atoms are difficult to synthesize, and the cost may increase significantly. From this viewpoint, the number of atoms in the cyclic structure is preferably 10-30, more preferably 10-20, and most preferably 10-15.
