Description
本発明は、成形外観と耐衝撃性に優れ、流動性にも優れる熱可塑性樹脂組成物を与えるグラフト共重合体と、このグラフト共重合体を含む熱可塑性樹脂組成物とその成形品に関する。 The present invention relates to a graft copolymer that provides a thermoplastic resin composition that is excellent in molded appearance and impact resistance as well as in flowability, and to a thermoplastic resin composition containing this graft copolymer and a molded article thereof.
樹脂材料の耐衝撃性を向上させることは、樹脂材料の用途を拡大させるだけでなく成形品の薄肉化や大型化への対応を可能にするなど、工業的な有用性が非常に高い。樹脂材料の耐衝撃性向上については、これまでに様々な手法が提案されてきた。このうち、ゴム質重合体と硬質樹脂材料とを組み合わせることによって、硬質樹脂材料の特性を保持しつつ耐衝撃性を高める手法は既に工業化されている。このような材料としては、アクリロニトリル-ブタジエン-スチレン(ABS)樹脂が挙げられる。 Improving the impact resistance of resin materials is extremely useful industrially, not only expanding the applications of resin materials but also enabling the creation of thinner and larger molded products. Various methods have been proposed to improve the impact resistance of resin materials. Of these, a method of combining a rubber polymer with a hard resin material to increase impact resistance while retaining the properties of the hard resin material has already been commercialized. One such material is acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin.
しかし、ABS樹脂は耐衝撃性と成形外観に優れるものの、ゴム成分であるポリブダジエンの耐候性が低いため、塗装やフィルム等の加飾を施すことなく使用することが困難であった。 However, although ABS resin has excellent impact resistance and molded appearance, the polybutadiene rubber component has poor weather resistance, making it difficult to use without applying decoration such as paint or film.
そのようなABS樹脂の課題を解決するため、ゴム成分としてアクリルゴムを使用したアクリロニトリル-スチレン-アクリル酸エステル(ASA)樹脂が開発され、工業化されている。 To solve these problems with ABS resin, acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylic acid ester (ASA) resin, which uses acrylic rubber as the rubber component, has been developed and commercialized.
例えば、特許文献1には硬質樹脂材料としてアクリロニトリル-スチレン(AS)樹脂を用い、そこにASA樹脂を添加する方法が開示されている。
しかしながら、ASA樹脂は、硬質樹脂成分であるアクリロニトリル-スチレン(AS)樹脂と、アクリルゴム間の屈折率差が大きいため、低射出速度での成形時の成形外観が悪い。また、高射出速度での成形時にはさらに成形外観が悪化するといった問題があった。
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which an acrylonitrile-styrene (AS) resin is used as a hard resin material and an ASA resin is added thereto.
However, ASA resin has a problem that the appearance of the molded product is poor when molded at a low injection speed because of the large difference in refractive index between the acrylic rubber and the acrylonitrile-styrene (AS) resin, which is the hard resin component, and the appearance of the molded product is further deteriorated when molded at a high injection speed.
特許文献2や特許文献3には、ポリブタジエン粒子の外側をアクリルゴムで覆った構造のポリブタジエン/アクリルゴム複合体をAS樹脂に添加する方法が開示されている。
この方法であれば、ポリブタジエンを複合することでゴム成分とAS樹脂の屈折率差が小さくなり、成形外観が良好となる。しかし、ポリブタジエンを複合するため耐候性が低下するといった問題がある。
Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose a method of adding a polybutadiene/acrylic rubber composite having a structure in which the outside of polybutadiene particles is covered with acrylic rubber to an AS resin.
This method reduces the difference in refractive index between the rubber component and the AS resin by compounding polybutadiene, resulting in a good molded appearance, but the compounding of polybutadiene causes a problem of reduced weather resistance.
特許文献4には、アクリル酸ブチルとスチレンを共重合することで、アクリルゴムの屈折率を上げる方法が開示されている。
しかし、特許文献4に記載された方法では、耐衝撃性が著しく低下してしまう。また、低射出速度で成形時の外観は良好となるが、高射出速度で成形時に外観が悪化する、すなわち外観の射出速度依存性の大きいものであった。
Patent Document 4 discloses a method for increasing the refractive index of acrylic rubber by copolymerizing butyl acrylate and styrene.
However, the method described in Patent Document 4 significantly reduces impact resistance. In addition, the appearance during molding is good at a low injection speed, but the appearance deteriorates at a high injection speed, that is, the appearance is highly injection speed dependent.
ところで、ASA樹脂などのグラフト重合体において、アクリルゴムなどのゴム粒子の架橋密度が成形品の諸物性に大きく影響を与える。一般的に架橋密度が高い方が、成形品の成形外観が良好となる傾向にある。架橋密度を高くする方法としては、アクリルゴムを製造する際に、分子内に2つ以上の(メタ)アクリロイル基、ビニル基、アリル基等の官能基を有する多官能化合物とアクリル酸エステルを共重合し、多官能化合物の添加量を増加させる方法が一般的である。
しかしながら、アクリルゴムの架橋密度が高い領域では、耐衝撃性が低下する傾向にある。
即ち、成形品の耐衝撃性と成形外観はトレードオフの関係にあり、ゴム粒子の架橋密度の調整では、成形品の耐衝撃性と成形外観を両立することは困難であった。
In the graft polymer such as ASA resin, the crosslink density of rubber particles such as acrylic rubber has a large effect on the physical properties of the molded product. In general, the higher the crosslink density, the better the molded appearance of the molded product tends to be. In order to increase the crosslink density, a method is generally used in which, when producing acrylic rubber, a multifunctional compound having two or more functional groups such as (meth)acryloyl groups, vinyl groups, allyl groups, etc. in the molecule is copolymerized with an acrylic acid ester to increase the amount of the multifunctional compound added.
However, in a region where the crosslink density of the acrylic rubber is high, the impact resistance tends to decrease.
In other words, there is a trade-off between the impact resistance and the appearance of a molded article, and it has been difficult to achieve both the impact resistance and the appearance of a molded article by adjusting the crosslink density of rubber particles.
本発明は、成形品の耐衝撃性と成形外観を両立することができるグラフト共重合体と、このグラフト共重合体を用いて流動性、耐衝撃性、成形外観、更には成形外観の射出速度依存性に優れる成形品が得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention aims to provide a graft copolymer that can achieve both impact resistance and molded appearance of a molded article, and a thermoplastic resin composition that uses this graft copolymer to obtain a molded article that is excellent in flowability, impact resistance, molded appearance, and even the injection speed dependency of the molded appearance.
本発明者は、上記課題を解決すべく検討を重ねた結果、内部が低架橋密度で外側が高架橋密度のゴム粒子、具体的には、グラフト共重合体のゴム粒子として、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)と、炭素数12以上のアルキル基、アルケニル基およびシクロアルキル基から選ばれる炭化水素基を有する疎水性物質(Ab)とを含むビニル系単量体混合物(m1)を重合して得られる共重合体(A)をコア部とし、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)を含むビニル系単量体混合物(m2)を重合して得られる共重合体(B)をシェル部とし、コア部の共重合体(A)の膨潤度が7~15倍、コア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度が5~12倍で、共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度より大きいものを用いることにより、成形外観と耐衝撃性に優れ、流動性にも優れる熱可塑性樹脂組成物を得ることができることを見出した。 The inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive research to solve the above problems, and as a result, have found that a thermoplastic resin composition having excellent molded appearance, impact resistance, and flowability can be obtained by using rubber particles having a low crosslink density inside and a high crosslink density outside, specifically, rubber particles of a graft copolymer, in which the core part is copolymer (A) obtained by polymerizing a vinyl monomer mixture (m1) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) and a hydrophobic substance (Ab) having a hydrocarbon group selected from an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and a cycloalkyl group having 12 or more carbon atoms, and the shell part is copolymer (B) obtained by polymerizing a vinyl monomer mixture (m2) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba), in which the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) in the core part is 7 to 15 times that of the core-shell type particle (C), and the swelling degree of the core-shell type particle (C) is 5 to 12 times that of the core-shell type particle (C).
即ち、本発明は以下を要旨とする。 That is, the gist of the present invention is as follows:

[グラフト共重合体(D)]
本発明のグラフト共重合体(D)は、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)と、炭素数12以上のアルキル基、アルケニル基およびシクロアルキル基から選ばれる炭化水素基を有する疎水性物質(Ab)とを含むビニル系単量体混合物(m1)を重合して得られる共重合体(A)よりなるコア部と、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)を含むビニル系単量体混合物(m2)を重合して得られる共重合体(B)よりなるシェル部とを有するコア-シェル型粒子(C)であって、共重合体(A)の膨潤度が7~15倍で、コア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度が5~12倍で、共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度より大きいコア-シェル型粒子(C)(以下、「本発明のコア-シェル型粒子(C)」と称す場合がある。)の存在下に、ビニル系単量体混合物(m3)を重合して得られるものである。
[Graft Copolymer (D)]
The graft copolymer (D) of the present invention is a core-shell type particle (C) having a core portion made of a copolymer (A) obtained by polymerizing a vinyl-based monomer mixture (m1) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) and a hydrophobic substance (Ab) having a hydrocarbon group selected from an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and a cycloalkyl group having 12 or more carbon atoms, and a shell portion made of a copolymer (B) obtained by polymerizing a vinyl-based monomer mixture (m2) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba), and is obtained by polymerizing a vinyl-based monomer mixture (m3) in the presence of a core-shell type particle (C) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "the core-shell type particle (C) of the present invention") in which the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) is 7 to 15 times, the swelling degree of the core-shell type particle (C) is 5 to 12 times, and the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) is greater than that of the core-shell type particle (C).
<メカニズム>
本発明のグラフト共重合体(D)は、ゴム粒子として特定のコア-シェル型粒子(C)を用いることを特徴とするものであり、特にコア-シェル型粒子(C)のコア部を構成する共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度より大きいことで、成形品の耐衝撃性と成形外観を両立することができる。
すなわち、ゴム粒子内部に架橋密度の分布ができることで、熱可塑性樹脂組成物に外力が加わった際に、ゴム粒子内で架橋密度の低い、コア部である共重合体(A)に応力が集中し、共重合体(A)の変形により衝撃を吸収する。このとき、コア部の共重合体(A)よりもコア-シェル型粒子(C)の方が膨潤度が小さい、すなわちシェル部である共重合体(B)が共重合体(A)より架橋密度が高いため、シェル部に応力が集中しにくく、このシェル部はコア-シェル型粒子(C)の大変形抑制に寄与する。コア-シェル型粒子(C)の大変形抑制は、成形外観向上に重要である。
コア-シェル型粒子(C)の方が共重合体(A)よりも膨潤度が低い、すなわちシェル部である共重合体(B)の方がコア部である共重合体(A)よりも架橋密度が小さいと、応力がシェル部に集中するため、コア-シェル型粒子の大変形を抑制できない。
したがって、耐衝撃性と成形外観の両立には、共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度より大きいことが重要である。
<Mechanism>
The graft copolymer (D) of the present invention is characterized in that it uses specific core-shell type particles (C) as rubber particles. In particular, the degree of swelling of the copolymer (A) constituting the core of the core-shell type particles (C) is greater than the degree of swelling of the core-shell type particles (C), so that the impact resistance and the appearance of the molded article can be compatible.
That is, by forming a distribution of crosslink density inside the rubber particle, when an external force is applied to the thermoplastic resin composition, stress is concentrated on the copolymer (A) which is the core part and has a low crosslink density in the rubber particle, and the deformation of the copolymer (A) absorbs the impact. At this time, the swelling degree of the core-shell type particle (C) is smaller than that of the copolymer (A) which is the core part, that is, the crosslink density of the copolymer (B) which is the shell part is higher than that of the copolymer (A), so that stress is less likely to be concentrated on the shell part, and this shell part contributes to suppression of large deformation of the core-shell type particle (C). Suppression of large deformation of the core-shell type particle (C) is important for improving the appearance of the molded product.
If the core-shell particle (C) has a lower swelling degree than the copolymer (A), that is, if the shell portion of the copolymer (B) has a lower crosslink density than the core portion of the copolymer (A), stress is concentrated in the shell portion, making it impossible to suppress large deformation of the core-shell particle.
Therefore, in order to achieve both impact resistance and good molded appearance, it is important that the degree of swelling of the copolymer (A) is greater than the degree of swelling of the core-shell particles (C).
<コア-シェル型粒子(C)>
本発明のコア-シェル型粒子(C)は、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)と、炭素数12以上のアルキル基、アルケニル基およびシクロアルキル基から選ばれる炭化水素基を有する疎水性物質(Ab)とを含むビニル系単量体混合物(m1)を重合して得られる共重合体(A)がコア部を構成し、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)を含むビニル系単量体混合物(m2)を重合して得られる共重合体(B)がシェル部を構成する。
<Core-shell type particles (C)>
In the core-shell type particle (C) of the present invention, a copolymer (A) obtained by polymerizing a vinyl-based monomer mixture (m1) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) and a hydrophobic substance (Ab) having a hydrocarbon group selected from an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and a cycloalkyl group having 12 or more carbon atoms constitutes a core portion, and a copolymer (B) obtained by polymerizing a vinyl-based monomer mixture (m2) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba) constitutes a shell portion.
(共重合体(A))
共重合体(A)は、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)と、炭素数12以上のアルキル基、アルケニル基およびシクロアルキル基から選ばれる炭化水素基を有する疎水性物質(Ab)とを含むビニル系単量体混合物(m1)を重合して得られる。
(Copolymer (A))
The copolymer (A) is obtained by polymerizing a vinyl monomer mixture (m1) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) and a hydrophobic substance (Ab) having a hydrocarbon group selected from an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and a cycloalkyl group having 12 or more carbon atoms.
(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)としては、アルキル基の炭素数が1~12である(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルが好ましい。中でも、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性が優れることから、アクリル酸n-ブチル、アクリル酸2-エチルヘキシル、アクリル酸エチルが特に好ましい。(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)は、1種でまたは2種以上を組み合わせて使用できる。 As the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa), a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester in which the alkyl group has 1 to 12 carbon atoms is preferred. Among these, n-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and ethyl acrylate are particularly preferred because the resulting thermoplastic resin composition has excellent impact resistance. The (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
共重合体(A)は、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)以外に、架橋剤に由来する単位およびグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位のいずれか一方または両方を有する共重合体であることが好ましく、共重合体(A)がグラフト交叉剤および/又は架橋剤に由来する単位を含むことでは、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の成形外観と耐衝撃性をより一層改善する効果が奏される。 The copolymer (A) is preferably a copolymer having, in addition to the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa), either or both of units derived from a crosslinking agent and units derived from a graft crosslinking agent. When the copolymer (A) contains units derived from a graft crosslinking agent and/or a crosslinking agent, the molded appearance and impact resistance of the resulting thermoplastic resin composition are further improved.
グラフト交叉剤としては、アリル化合物、具体的には、メタクリル酸アリル、シアヌル酸トリアリル、イソシアヌル酸トリアリル等が挙げられる。これらは1種のみを用いてもよく、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。 Graft crosslinking agents include allyl compounds, specifically allyl methacrylate, triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
架橋剤としては、ジメタクリレート系化合物、具体例には、エチレングリコールジメタクリレート、プロピレングリコールジメタクリレート、1,3-ブチレングリコールジメタクリレート、1,4-ブチレングリコールジメタクリレート等が挙げられる。これらは1種のみを用いてもよく、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。 The crosslinking agent may be a dimethacrylate compound, specific examples of which include ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, propylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,3-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, and 1,4-butylene glycol dimethacrylate. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤を用いる場合、共重合体(A)中の架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位の割合は、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の成形外観と耐衝撃性が優れることから、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)単位と、架橋剤に由来する単位および/又はグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位との合計100質量%中、0.05~0.3質量%が好ましく、0.08~0.24質量%がより好ましい。 When a crosslinking agent and/or a graft crosslinking agent is used, the proportion of units derived from the crosslinking agent and/or the graft crosslinking agent in the copolymer (A) is preferably 0.05 to 0.3 mass%, more preferably 0.08 to 0.24 mass%, based on 100 mass% of the total of the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) units and the units derived from the crosslinking agent and/or the units derived from the graft crosslinking agent, since the resulting thermoplastic resin composition has excellent molded appearance and impact resistance.
なお、共重合体(A)は、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)単位、必要に応じて用いられる架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位以外のその他の単量体単位を含んでいてもよい。共重合体(A)に含まれていてもよいその他の単量体単位としては、後述のビニル系単量体混合物(m3)に含まれる(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)以外のビニル系単量体単位の1種又は2種以上が挙げられるが、本発明の効果を有効に得る上で、これらのその他のビニル系単量体単位の含有量は、共重合体(A)100質量%中20質量%以下、特に10質量%以下であることが好ましい。 The copolymer (A) may contain other monomer units other than the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) units and the units derived from the crosslinking agent and/or graft crosslinking agent used as necessary, within the scope of the present invention. Examples of other monomer units that may be contained in the copolymer (A) include one or more vinyl monomer units other than the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) contained in the vinyl monomer mixture (m3) described below. In order to effectively obtain the effects of the present invention, it is preferable that the content of these other vinyl monomer units is 20% by mass or less, particularly 10% by mass or less, based on 100% by mass of the copolymer (A).
共重合体(A)の製造方法としては、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)及び特定の疎水性物質(Ab)と、必要に応じて架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤とを含むビニル系単量体混合物(m1)を乳化重合、またはミニエマルション重合させる方法が好ましく、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の物性が優れることからミニエマルション重合させる方法が特に好ましい。 The method for producing the copolymer (A) is preferably a method of emulsion polymerization or mini-emulsion polymerization of a vinyl monomer mixture (m1) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) and a specific hydrophobic substance (Ab), and optionally a crosslinking agent and/or a graft crosslinking agent, and the mini-emulsion polymerization method is particularly preferred because the resulting thermoplastic resin composition has excellent physical properties.
共重合体(A)を製造するミニエマルション重合は、これに限定されるものではないが、例えば、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Aa)と、架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤と、特定の疎水性物質(Ab)と、開始剤とを混合し、得られた混合物に水と、乳化剤とを加え、せん断力を付与してプレエマルション(ミニエマルション)を作製する工程、並びにこの混合物を重合開始温度まで加熱して重合させる工程を含むことができる。 The mini-emulsion polymerization for producing the copolymer (A) can include, but is not limited to, for example, a process of mixing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa), a crosslinking agent and/or a graft crosslinking agent, a specific hydrophobic substance (Ab), and an initiator, adding water and an emulsifier to the resulting mixture, and applying shear force to prepare a pre-emulsion (mini-emulsion), as well as a process of heating the mixture to a polymerization initiation temperature to polymerize it.
ミニエマルション化の工程では、例えば、超音波照射による剪断工程を実施することにより、前記剪断力によりモノマーが引きちぎられ、乳化剤に覆われたモノマー微小油滴が形成される。その後、開始剤の重合開始温度まで加熱することにより、モノマー微小油滴をそのまま重合し、高分子微粒子が得られる。ミニエマルションを形成させるための剪断力を加える方法は公知の任意の方法を用いることができ、ミニエマルションを形成できる高剪断装置としては、これらに限定されるものではないが、例えば、高圧ポンプおよび相互作用チャンバーからなる乳化装置、超音波エネルギーや高周波によりミニエマルションを形成させる装置等がある。高圧ポンプおよび相互作用チャンバーからなる乳化装置としては、例えば、SPX Corporation APV社製「圧力式ホモジナイザー」、(株)パウレック製「マイクロフルイダイザー」等が挙げられ、超音波エネルギーや高周波によりミニエマルションを形成させる装置としては、例えば、Fisher Scient製「ソニックディスメンブレーター」や(株)日本精機製作所製「ULTRASONIC HOMOGENIZER」等が挙げられるがこれらに限定されるものではない。 In the mini-emulsion process, for example, a shearing process is carried out by ultrasonic irradiation, whereby the monomer is torn off by the shearing force, and monomer micro-oil droplets covered with emulsifier are formed. The monomer micro-oil droplets are then polymerized as they are by heating to the polymerization initiation temperature of the initiator, and polymer microparticles are obtained. Any known method can be used to apply shear force to form a mini-emulsion, and examples of high shear devices capable of forming a mini-emulsion include, but are not limited to, an emulsification device consisting of a high-pressure pump and an interaction chamber, and a device that forms a mini-emulsion using ultrasonic energy or high frequency. Examples of emulsification devices consisting of a high-pressure pump and an interaction chamber include the "Pressure Homogenizer" manufactured by SPX Corporation APV and the "Microfluidizer" manufactured by Powrex Corporation, and examples of devices that form mini-emulsions using ultrasonic energy or high frequency include the "Sonic Dismembrator" manufactured by Fisher Scientific and the "ULTRASONIC HOMOGENIZER" manufactured by Nippon Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd., but are not limited to these.
なお、ミニエマルション化の際の水溶媒の使用量は、作業性、安定性、製造性等の観点から、重合後の反応系の固形分濃度が5~50質量%程度となるように、水以外の混合物100質量部に対して100~500質量部程度とすることが好ましい。 From the viewpoints of workability, stability, manufacturability, etc., the amount of water solvent used during mini-emulsion is preferably about 100 to 500 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the mixture other than water, so that the solids concentration of the reaction system after polymerization is about 5 to 50% by mass.
本発明では、炭素数12以上のアルキル基、アルケニル基およびシクロアルキル基から選ばれる炭化水素基を有する疎水性物質(Ab)が必須成分である。この特定の疎水性炭化水素基を有する疎水性物質(Ab)を用いることで、ミニエマルションの製造安定性を向上させることができる。また、疎水性物質(Ab)を用いることで、共重合体(A)の粒子径制御を容易に行うことができるようになり、耐衝撃性に優位に働く粒子径を選択することで得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性を高めることができる。 In the present invention, a hydrophobic substance (Ab) having a hydrocarbon group selected from an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and a cycloalkyl group having 12 or more carbon atoms is an essential component. By using the hydrophobic substance (Ab) having this specific hydrophobic hydrocarbon group, the production stability of the mini-emulsion can be improved. In addition, by using the hydrophobic substance (Ab), it becomes possible to easily control the particle size of the copolymer (A), and by selecting a particle size that has an advantageous effect on impact resistance, the impact resistance of the resulting thermoplastic resin composition can be improved.
本発明で用いる疎水性物質(Ab)の疎水性の程度は、1-オクタノールに対する濃度〔c1〕と水に対する濃度〔c2〕の比〔c1/c2〕で表される分配係数〔P〕の対数〔logP〕値で表すことができ、本発明で用いる疎水性物質(Ab)の分配係数〔P〕の対数〔logP〕値は6.0以上であることが好ましい。 The degree of hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic substance (Ab) used in the present invention can be expressed by the logarithm [logP] value of the partition coefficient [P], which is expressed as the ratio [c1/c2] of the concentration [c1] in 1-octanol to the concentration [c2] in water, and it is preferable that the logarithm [logP] value of the partition coefficient [P] of the hydrophobic substance (Ab) used in the present invention is 6.0 or more.
分配係数〔P〕の対数〔logP〕値が6以上ある疎水性物質としては、重合不可能な疎水性化合物として、例えば炭素数12以上の炭化水素類、炭素数12以上のアルコール類、疎水性モノマーとして、例えば、炭素数14~30のアルコールのビニルエステル、炭素数14~30のアルコールのビニルエーテル、炭素数15~30(好ましくは炭素数15~22)のカルボン酸ビニルエステル、炭素数20~40のp-アルキルスチレン、疎水性の連鎖移動剤等が挙げられる。これらは、1種を単独で用いてもよく、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。 Examples of hydrophobic substances having a logarithm [logP] value of the partition coefficient [P] of 6 or more include non-polymerizable hydrophobic compounds such as hydrocarbons having 12 or more carbon atoms and alcohols having 12 or more carbon atoms, and hydrophobic monomers such as vinyl esters of alcohols having 14 to 30 carbon atoms, vinyl ethers of alcohols having 14 to 30 carbon atoms, vinyl esters of carboxylic acids having 15 to 30 carbon atoms (preferably 15 to 22 carbon atoms), p-alkylstyrenes having 20 to 40 carbon atoms, and hydrophobic chain transfer agents.

In the present invention, the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) is from 7 to 15 times, preferably from 7.5 to 12 times, in order that the impact resistance and molded appearance of the resulting thermoplastic resin composition are excellent.
If the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) is less than 7 times, the impact resistance of the resulting thermoplastic resin composition will be poor, whereas if it exceeds 15 times, the appearance of the molded product will be poor.
The swelling degree of copolymer (A) can be adjusted by the amount of crosslinking agent and/or graft crosslinking agent used in producing copolymer (A). By increasing the amount of crosslinking agent and/or graft crosslinking agent used, the crosslink density can be increased and the swelling degree can be decreased, whereas by decreasing the amount of crosslinking agent and/or graft crosslinking agent used, the crosslink density can be decreased and the swelling degree can be increased.

The copolymer (B) is a copolymer obtained by polymerizing a vinyl monomer mixture (m2) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba). The copolymer (B) constitutes a shell portion as an outer shell encapsulating a core portion made of the copolymer (A) obtained by polymerizing a vinyl monomer mixture (m1) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester (Aa) and the above-mentioned hydrophobic substance (Ab). Therefore, for example, by polymerizing the vinyl monomer mixture (m2) in the presence of the copolymer (A), the core-shell type particle (C) of the present invention in which the core portion is the copolymer (A) and the shell portion is the copolymer (B) can be obtained.
ビニル系単量体混合物(m2)に含まれる(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)としては、アルキル基の炭素数が1~12である(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルが好ましい。中でも、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性が優れることから、アクリル酸n-ブチル、アクリル酸2-エチルヘキシル、アクリル酸エチルが特に好ましい。(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)は、1種でまたは2種以上を組み合わせて使用できる。 As the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba) contained in the vinyl monomer mixture (m2), a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having an alkyl group with 1 to 12 carbon atoms is preferred. Among these, n-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and ethyl acrylate are particularly preferred because the resulting thermoplastic resin composition has excellent impact resistance. The (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba) can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
共重合体(B)は、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)以外に、架橋剤に由来する単位およびグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位のいずれか一方または両方を有する共重合体であることが好ましく、共重合体(B)がグラフト交叉剤および/又は架橋剤に由来する単位を含むことでは、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の成形外観と耐衝撃性をより一層改善する効果が奏される。 The copolymer (B) is preferably a copolymer having, in addition to the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba), either or both of units derived from a crosslinking agent and units derived from a graft crosslinking agent. When the copolymer (B) contains units derived from a graft crosslinking agent and/or a crosslinking agent, the molded appearance and impact resistance of the resulting thermoplastic resin composition are further improved.
グラフト交叉剤、架橋剤としては、共重合体(A)に用いるグラフト交叉剤、架橋剤として例示したものを用いることができる。 As the graft crosslinking agent and crosslinking agent, those exemplified as the graft crosslinking agent and crosslinking agent used in copolymer (A) can be used.
架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤を用いる場合、共重合体(B)中の架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位の割合は、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の成形外観と耐衝撃性が優れることから、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)単位と、架橋剤に由来する単位および/又はグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位との合計100質量%中、0.03~0.3質量%が好ましく、0.05~0.25質量%がより好ましい。 When a crosslinking agent and/or a graft crosslinking agent is used, the ratio of units derived from the crosslinking agent and/or the graft crosslinking agent in the copolymer (B) is preferably 0.03 to 0.3 mass%, more preferably 0.05 to 0.25 mass%, based on 100 mass% of the total of the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba) units and the units derived from the crosslinking agent and/or the units derived from the graft crosslinking agent, since the resulting thermoplastic resin composition has excellent molded appearance and impact resistance.
なお、共重合体(B)は、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)単位、必要に応じて用いられる架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤に由来する単位以外のその他の単量体単位を含んでいてもよい。共重合体(B)に含まれていてもよいその他の単量体単位としては、後述のビニル系単量体混合物(m3)に含まれる(メタ)アクリル酸エステル(Ba)以外のビニル系単量体単位の1種又は2種以上が挙げられるが、本発明の効果を有効に得る上で、これらのその他のビニル系単量体単位の含有量は、共重合体(B)100質量%中20質量%以下、特に10質量%以下であることが好ましい。 The copolymer (B) may contain other monomer units other than the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba) units and the units derived from the crosslinking agent and/or graft crosslinking agent used as necessary, within the scope of the present invention. Examples of other monomer units that may be contained in the copolymer (B) include one or more vinyl monomer units other than the (meth)acrylic acid ester (Ba) contained in the vinyl monomer mixture (m3) described below. In order to effectively obtain the effects of the present invention, it is preferable that the content of these other vinyl monomer units is 20% by mass or less, particularly 10% by mass or less, based on 100% by mass of the copolymer (B).

The method for producing the core-shell type particles (C) is not particularly limited. When the copolymer (A) is produced by mini-emulsion polymerization, it is preferable to produce the core-shell type particles (C) by emulsion polymerization using a vinyl monomer mixture (m2).
乳化重合の方法としては、共重合体(A)のエマルションの存在下に、ビニル系単量体混合物(m2)を一括で、または連続的、または断続的に添加してラジカル重合する方法が挙げられる。また、共重合体(B)の重合の際には、共重合体(B)の分子量調節やグラフト率を制御する目的で連鎖移動剤を使用したり、ラテックスの粘度やpHを調節する目的で公知の無機電解質等を使用したりしてもよい。また、乳化重合においては、各種の乳化剤やラジカル開始剤を必要に応じて使用することができる。 As a method of emulsion polymerization, a method of radical polymerization in which a vinyl monomer mixture (m2) is added all at once, continuously, or intermittently in the presence of an emulsion of copolymer (A) can be mentioned. In addition, when polymerizing copolymer (B), a chain transfer agent may be used for the purpose of adjusting the molecular weight or graft ratio of copolymer (B), or a known inorganic electrolyte may be used for the purpose of adjusting the viscosity or pH of the latex. In addition, various emulsifiers and radical initiators can be used in emulsion polymerization as necessary.
乳化剤、ラジカル開始剤の種類や添加量については特に制限されない。また、乳化剤、ラジカル開始剤としては、共重合体(A)の説明において先に例示した乳化剤、ラジカル開始剤が挙げられる。 There are no particular limitations on the type or amount of emulsifier and radical initiator. Examples of emulsifiers and radical initiators include the emulsifiers and radical initiators exemplified above in the description of copolymer (A).
得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性や成形外観が優れることから、コア-シェル型粒子(C)100質量%中の共重合体(B)の割合は4~40質量%が好ましく、10~30質量%がより好ましい。
また、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性や成形外観が優れることから、コア-シェル型粒子(C)100質量%中の共重合体(A)は60~96質量%が好ましく、50~95質量%が好ましく、70~90質量%がより好ましい。
In order to obtain a thermoplastic resin composition having excellent impact resistance and molded appearance, the proportion of the copolymer (B) in 100% by mass of the core-shell type particles (C) is preferably from 4 to 40% by mass, and more preferably from 10 to 30% by mass.
In addition, since the obtained thermoplastic resin composition has excellent impact resistance and molded appearance, the content of the copolymer (A) in 100% by mass of the core-shell type particles (C) is preferably 60 to 96% by mass, more preferably 50 to 95% by mass, and more preferably 70 to 90% by mass.
水性分散体に分散しているコア-シェル型粒子(C)の平均粒子径は、得られる成形品の物性が優れることから、60~820nmが好ましく、110~620nmがより好ましく、260~470nmがさらに好ましい。
コア-シェル型粒子(C)の平均粒子径を制御する方法として、特に制限されないが、主として共重合体(A)製造時の乳化剤の種類または使用量を調整する方法が挙げられる。
The average particle size of the core-shell particles (C) dispersed in the aqueous dispersion is preferably from 60 to 820 nm, more preferably from 110 to 620 nm, and even more preferably from 260 to 470 nm, in order to provide excellent physical properties for the resulting molded article.
The method for controlling the average particle size of the core-shell particles (C) is not particularly limited, but mainly includes a method of adjusting the type or amount of an emulsifier used during the production of the copolymer (A).
コア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度は、得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性、成形外観が優れることから、5~12倍であり、好ましくは5.5~11倍である。コア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度が5倍を下回ると得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性に劣り、12倍を超えると成形外観に劣るものとなる。 The swelling degree of the core-shell type particles (C) is 5 to 12 times, and preferably 5.5 to 11 times, because the thermoplastic resin composition obtained has excellent impact resistance and molded appearance. If the swelling degree of the core-shell type particles (C) is less than 5 times, the thermoplastic resin composition obtained has poor impact resistance, and if it exceeds 12 times, the molded appearance is poor.
また、本発明においては、共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度より大きいことを特徴とし、共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度よりも大きいことで成形品の耐衝撃性と成形外観を両立することができる。
前述の通り、膨潤度は架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤の使用量により調整することができる。従って、本発明では、共重合体(A)を製造する際の架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤の使用量よりも、共重合体(B)を製造する際の架橋剤および/又はグラフト交叉剤の使用量を多くして共重合体(B)の架橋密度を共重合体(A)の架橋密度よりも上げることで、共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度よりも大きいコア-シェル型粒子(C)とすることができる。
In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) is greater than that of the core-shell type particles (C), and by having the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) greater than that of the core-shell type particles (C), both impact resistance and molded appearance of the molded article can be achieved.
As described above, the swelling degree can be adjusted by the amount of the crosslinking agent and/or the graft crosslinking agent used. Therefore, in the present invention, the amount of the crosslinking agent and/or the graft crosslinking agent used in producing the copolymer (B) is made larger than the amount of the crosslinking agent and/or the graft crosslinking agent used in producing the copolymer (A) to increase the crosslink density of the copolymer (B) to be higher than the crosslink density of the copolymer (A), thereby making it possible to obtain the core-shell type particles (C) in which the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) is larger than the swelling degree of the core-shell type particles (C).
共重合体(A)の膨潤度とコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度との差には特に制限はないが、両者の膨潤度の差は0.9以上であることが好ましく、特に1~3程度であることが好ましい。この差が小さ過ぎると、本発明のように共重合体(A)とコア-シェル型粒子(C)とで膨潤度を調整することによる効果を十分に得ることができず、この差を過度に大きくすることは得られる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性を低下させる。 There is no particular restriction on the difference between the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) and the swelling degree of the core-shell type particles (C), but the difference between the swelling degrees of the two is preferably 0.9 or more, and particularly preferably about 1 to 3. If this difference is too small, the effect of adjusting the swelling degree between the copolymer (A) and the core-shell type particles (C) as in the present invention cannot be fully obtained, and making this difference too large reduces the impact resistance of the resulting thermoplastic resin composition.

得られるグラフト共重合体(D)を配合してなる熱可塑性樹脂組成物の耐衝撃性や成形外観が優れ、特に成形外観の射出速度依存性を小さくできることから、グラフト共重合体(D)の製造に用いるコア-シェル型粒子(C)及びビニル系単量体混合物(m3)は、グラフト共重合体(D)100質量%中、コア-シェル型粒子(C)が50~80質量%、ビニル系単量体混合物(m3)が20~50質量%であることが好ましい。

以下の実施例および比較例における各種測定および評価方法は以下の通りである。 The various measurement and evaluation methods used in the following examples and comparative examples are as follows:
<共重合体(A)およびコア-シェル型粒子(C)の体積平均粒子径>
マイクロトラック(日機装社製「ナノトラック150」)を用い、測定溶媒としてイオン交換水を用いて、水性分散体に分散している共重合体(A)又はコア-シェル型粒子(C)の体積平均粒子径を測定した。
<Volume Average Particle Diameter of Copolymer (A) and Core-Shell Particles (C)>
The volume average particle size of the copolymer (A) or the core-shell type particles (C) dispersed in the aqueous dispersion was measured using a Microtrac (Nanotrac 150 manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.) and ion-exchanged water as a measurement solvent.
<共重合体(A)およびコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度>
共重合体(A)又はコア-シェル型粒子(C)の水性分散体を80℃で24時間乾燥させ、その後80℃で24時間真空乾燥させることで、フィルム状の共重合体(A)又はコア-シェル型粒子(C)の乾燥物を作成した。得られた乾燥物の重量をW1とする。この乾燥物1gを80mLのアセトンに浸漬後、そのアセトンを65~70℃で3時間還流した。次いで、得られた懸濁アセトン溶液を遠心分離機(日立工機社製「CR21E」)にて14,000rpmで30分間遠心分離して、沈殿成分(アセトン不溶成分)を分取した。アセトン不溶成分の重量をW2とする。その後、アセトン不溶成分を常温で24時間真空乾燥した。真空乾燥後のアセトン不溶成分の重量をW3とする。共重合体(A)、コア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度は、下記式(1)で算出される。
膨潤度(%)=(W2/W3)×100 …(1)
膨潤度は架橋密度の目安となり、一般に膨潤度が高いほど架橋密度が低く、膨潤度が低いほど架橋密度が高いことが知られている。
<Swelling Degree of Copolymer (A) and Core-Shell Particles (C)>
The aqueous dispersion of the copolymer (A) or the core-shell type particle (C) was dried at 80° C. for 24 hours, and then vacuum-dried at 80° C. for 24 hours to prepare a film-like dried product of the copolymer (A) or the core-shell type particle (C). The weight of the obtained dried product was designated as W1. 1 g of this dried product was immersed in 80 mL of acetone, and the acetone was refluxed at 65 to 70° C. for 3 hours. Next, the obtained acetone suspension solution was centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 30 minutes using a centrifuge (Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd. "CR21E") to separate the precipitated component (acetone insoluble component). The weight of the acetone insoluble component was designated as W2. Then, the acetone insoluble component was vacuum-dried at room temperature for 24 hours. The weight of the acetone insoluble component after vacuum drying was designated as W3. The swelling degree of the copolymer (A) and the core-shell type particle (C) was calculated by the following formula (1).
Swelling degree (%) = (W2 / W3) × 100 ... (1)
The degree of swelling serves as a measure of crosslink density, and it is generally known that the higher the degree of swelling, the lower the crosslink density, and vice versa.
<グラフト共重合体(D)のグラフト率>
グラフト共重合体(D)1gを80mLのアセトンに添加し、65~70℃にて3時間加熱還流し、得られた懸濁アセトン溶液を遠心分離機(日立工機社製「CR21E」)にて14,000rpm、30分間遠心分離して、沈殿成分(アセトン不溶成分)とアセトン溶液(アセトン可溶成分)を分取した。そして、沈殿成分(アセトン不溶成分)を乾燥させてその質量(Y(g))を測定し、下記式(2)によりグラフト率を算出した。なお、式(2)におけるYは、グラフト共重合体(D)のアセトン不溶成分の質量(g)、XはYを求める際に使用したグラフト共重合体(D)の全質量(g)、ゴム分率はグラフト共重合体(D)の製造に用いたコア-シェル型粒子(C)の水性分散体における固形分濃度である。
グラフト率(質量%)={(Y-X×ゴム分率)/X×ゴム分率}
×100 …(2)
<Graft ratio of graft copolymer (D)>
1 g of the graft copolymer (D) was added to 80 mL of acetone, and the mixture was heated to reflux at 65 to 70° C. for 3 hours. The resulting acetone suspension was centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 30 minutes using a centrifuge (Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd., “CR21E”) to separate the precipitate (acetone insoluble component) and the acetone solution (acetone soluble component). The precipitate (acetone insoluble component) was then dried to measure its mass (Y(g)), and the graft ratio was calculated using the following formula (2). In the formula (2), Y is the mass (g) of the acetone insoluble component of the graft copolymer (D), X is the total mass (g) of the graft copolymer (D) used to determine Y, and the rubber fraction is the solids concentration in the aqueous dispersion of the core-shell type particles (C) used to produce the graft copolymer (D).
Graft ratio (mass%)={(Y−X×rubber fraction)/X×rubber fraction}
× 100 ... (2)
<共重合体(E)の質量平均分子量>
共重合体(E)の質量平均分子量は、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィ(GPC)を用い、テトラヒドロフラン(THF)に溶解して測定したものを標準ポリスチレン(PS)換算で求めた。
<Weight average molecular weight of copolymer (E)>

[Each evaluation method]
<Melt Volume Rate (MVR) Measurement>
The MVR of the thermoplastic resin composition at 220° C. was measured under a load of 98 N (10 kg) in accordance with ISO 1133:1997. The MVR is an indicator of the fluidity of the thermoplastic resin composition, with a higher value indicating better fluidity.
<射出成形1>
溶融混練して得られた熱可塑性樹脂組成物のペレットを射出成型機(東芝機械社製、「IS55FP-1.5A」)によりシリンダー温度200~270℃、金型温度60℃の条件で、縦80mm、横10mm、厚さ4mmの成形品を成形し、シャルピー衝撃試験用成形品(成形品(Ma1))として用いた。
<Injection molding 1>
The pellets of the thermoplastic resin composition obtained by melt kneading were molded into a molded article having a length of 80 mm, a width of 10 mm and a thickness of 4 mm using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd., "IS55FP-1.5A") under conditions of a cylinder temperature of 200 to 270°C and a mold temperature of 60°C, and the molded article was used as a molded article for a Charpy impact test (molded article (Ma1)).
<射出成形2>
溶融混練して得られた熱可塑性樹脂組成物のペレットを射出成型機(東芝機械社製、「IS55FP-1.5A」)によりシリンダー温度200~270℃、金型温度60℃、射出率7g/秒の条件で、縦100mm、横100mm、厚さ3mmの成形品を成形し、外観評価用成形品(成形品(Ma2))として用いた。
<Injection molding 2>
The pellets of the thermoplastic resin composition obtained by melt kneading were molded into a molded article having a length of 100 mm, a width of 100 mm and a thickness of 3 mm using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd., "IS55FP-1.5A") under conditions of a cylinder temperature of 200 to 270°C, a mold temperature of 60°C and an injection rate of 7 g/sec. This was used as a molded article for appearance evaluation (molded article (Ma2)).
<射出成形3>
溶融混練して得られた熱可塑性樹脂組成物のペレットを射出成型機(東芝機械社製、「IS55FP-1.5A」)によりシリンダー温度200~270℃、金型温度60℃、射出率128g/秒の条件で、縦100mm、横100mm、厚さ3mmの成形品を成形し、外観評価用成形品(成形品(Ma3))として用いた。
<Injection molding 3>
The pellets of the thermoplastic resin composition obtained by melt kneading were molded into a molded article having a length of 100 mm, a width of 100 mm and a thickness of 3 mm using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd., "IS55FP-1.5A") under conditions of a cylinder temperature of 200 to 270°C, a mold temperature of 60°C and an injection rate of 128 g/sec. This was used as a molded article for appearance evaluation (molded article (Ma3)).
<外観評価(1)>
成形品(Ma2)について、分光測色計(コニカミノルタオプティプス社製「CM-3500d」)を用いて明度L*を、SCE方式にて測定した。こうして測定されたL*を「L*(ma)」とする。L*が低いほど黒色となり、外観が良好である。
<Appearance Evaluation (1)>
The lightness L * of the molded product (Ma2) was measured by the SCE method using a spectrophotometer (Konica Minolta Optips Co., Ltd. "CM-3500d"). The L * thus measured is called "L * (ma)". The lower the L * , the blacker the color and the better the appearance.
<外観評価(2)>
成形品(Ma3)について、分光測色計(コニカミノルタオプティプス社製「CM-3500d」)を用いて明度L*を、SCE方式にて測定した。こうして測定されたL*を「L*(mb)」とする。L*が低いほど黒色となり、外観が良好である。
射出速度が速い条件で成形した際に、樹脂中のゴム成分が配向することで、白化やブロンズ現象が生じ、L*が大きくなる。そのため、射出速度が速い条件での成形外観が重要となる。
<Appearance Evaluation (2)>
The lightness L * of the molded product (Ma3) was measured by the SCE method using a spectrophotometer (Konica Minolta Optips Co., Ltd. "CM-3500d"). The L * thus measured is referred to as "L * (mb)". The lower the L * , the blacker the color and the better the appearance.
When molding is performed under conditions of high injection speed, the rubber components in the resin become oriented, causing whitening and bronzing, and increasing L * . Therefore, the appearance of the molded product under conditions of high injection speed is important.
<外観評価(3)(外観の射出速度依存性評価)>
ΔL*=(L*(mb)-L*(ma))2の式よりΔL*を算出した。ΔL*が小さいほど、外観の射出速度依存性が小さい。一般に、車輛部品等の成形品においては、部品箇所により射出速度が異なる。そのため、射出速度依存性の大きい樹脂では、成形時に部品表面に色むらが生じる、といった外観不良が起こる。
<Appearance Evaluation (3) (Evaluation of Dependence of Appearance on Injection Speed)>
ΔL * was calculated from formula 2 : ΔL * = (L * (mb) - L * (ma)). The smaller ΔL * is, the less injection speed dependency of the appearance. Generally, in molded products such as vehicle parts, the injection speed differs depending on the part location. Therefore, with a resin that is highly injection speed dependent, color unevenness occurs on the surface of the part during molding, resulting in poor appearance.
<耐衝撃性の評価:シャルピー衝撃試験>
成形品(Ma1)について、ISO 179-1:2013年度版に準拠し、試験温度23℃もしくは-20℃の条件で成形品(タイプB1、ノッチ有:形状A シングルノッチ)のシャルピー衝撃強度(打撃方向:エッジワイズ)を測定した。シャルピー衝撃強度が高いほど、耐衝撃性に優れることを意味する。
<Impact resistance evaluation: Charpy impact test>
The Charpy impact strength (impact direction: edgewise) of the molded article (Ma1) was measured at a test temperature of 23° C. or −20° C. (Type B1, notched: Shape A single notch) in accordance with ISO 179-1:2013 edition. The higher the Charpy impact strength, the better the impact resistance.
表5の実施例II-1~14に示すように、各実施例によれば、耐衝撃性や流動性、外観に優れる熱可塑性樹脂組成物および成形品が得られた。 As shown in Examples II-1 to 14 in Table 5, each example produced a thermoplastic resin composition and molded product with excellent impact resistance, fluidity, and appearance.
一方、比較例II-1では共重合体(A)及びコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度が低く、また、比較例II-2ではコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度が低いため耐衝撃性が低く、流動性も低位であった。また、比較例II-3では、共重合体(A)の膨潤度がコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度より低いため、成形外観に劣った。比較例II-4ではコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度が、比較例II-5では共重合体(A)とコア-シェル型粒子(C)の膨潤度が、比較例II-6では共重合体(A)の膨潤度が高いため、成形外観に劣った。
比較例II-7ではゴム部がコア-シェル型粒子でないため成形外観に劣る。この比較例II-7に対して、成形外観を改良しようと膨潤度を低くすると、比較例II-8のように耐衝撃性が悪くなる。
比較例II-9では、ビニル系単量体混合物(m1)が疎水性物質(Ab)を含まないため、共重合体(A)の粒子径制御が困難であり、得られたグラフト共重合体(D-23)を用いると、耐衝撃性が劣るものとなった。
On the other hand, in Comparative Example II-1, the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) and the core-shell type particles (C) was low, and in Comparative Example II-2, the swelling degree of the core-shell type particles (C) was low, so that the impact resistance was low and the fluidity was also low. In Comparative Example II-3, the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) was lower than that of the core-shell type particles (C), so that the molded appearance was poor. In Comparative Example II-4, the swelling degree of the core-shell type particles (C), in Comparative Example II-5, the swelling degrees of the copolymer (A) and the core-shell type particles (C), and in Comparative Example II-6, the swelling degree of the copolymer (A) were high, so that the molded appearance was poor.
In Comparative Example II-7, the rubber portion is not a core-shell type particle, and therefore the molded appearance is poor. When the swelling degree is reduced in an attempt to improve the molded appearance of Comparative Example II-7, the impact resistance is deteriorated as in Comparative Example II-8.
In Comparative Example II-9, since the vinyl monomer mixture (m1) did not contain the hydrophobic substance (Ab), it was difficult to control the particle size of the copolymer (A), and the obtained graft copolymer (D-23) had poor impact resistance.
