Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a polymeric temperature-sensitive element having an excellent temperature control function, a small change in an impedance especially upon absorption of water and capable of breaking a heater circuit at a lower temperature by using a copolyamide having a specified constitution of starting materials. CONSTITUTION:This polymeric temperature-sensitive element is formed of a copolyamide comprising 99-60mol% lauryllactam and/or 12-aminododecanoic acid, 1-40mol% hydrogenated dimer and a 4-50 C diamine in an amount substantially equimolar to that of the dimer acid. The hydrogenated dimer is prepared by hydrogenating a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid of a food oil. As the diamine, an aliphatic diamine (hexamethylenediamine), an aromatic diamine (phenylenediamine) or an alicyclic diamine (cyclohexanediamine) can be advantageously used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a polymer temperature sensitive body used for temperature detection for temperature control of planar heating elements such as electric blankets, electric sheets, and electric carpets. It is something.

In addition to the temperature control function, this type of thermosensor also has a safety feature that, if these heating devices become abnormally hot, the thermosensor melts within a narrow temperature range and shuts off the heater circuit. .

(Prior Art) Until now, nylon 12 has mainly been used for this type of purpose. In general, nylon is suitable for this purpose because its impedance has a large temperature dependence and has a clear melting point. In particular, nylon 12 has the lowest water absorption rate among commercially available nylons, and the effect of water on impedance is the least.

Therefore, it is preferably used for this purpose because the influence of moisture on temperature control is minimal. Also, as a safety feature, nylon 12 has the lowest melting point among single polymer nylons.
The circuit is cut off most safely.

However, the melting point of nylon 12 is 175-178℃
Therefore, nylon with an even lower melting point was desired so that it could interrupt the circuit at a lower temperature.

It is known that copolymerizing nylon 12 with other nylon monomers lowers the melting point. However, copolymers based on nylon 12 generally have a higher water absorption rate than nylon 12, so their impedance tends to change due to moisture absorption and are inferior in temperature control function.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The object of the present invention is to provide a polymer thermosensitive material that has excellent temperature control function, has small impedance change due to moisture absorption, and is safer, that is, cuts off the heater circuit at a lower temperature. It is about providing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the present invention provides 99 to 60 mol% of lauryllactam and/or 12-aminododecanoic acid, and 1 to 60 mol% of hydrogenated dimer acid.
It is a polymeric temperature sensitive body made of a copolymerized polyamide comprising 40 mol % of a diamine having 4 to 50 carbon atoms and substantially equimolar amount to hydrogenated dimer acid.

Lauryllactam and 12-aminododecanoic acid are both monomers of nylon 12. When these exceed 99 mol%, the copolymer has substantially the same properties as nylon 12 polymer, and its melting point is almost the same. On the other hand, if it is less than 60 mol%, the melting point will be too low and will lack clarity.

The hydrogenated dimer acids described in the present invention are hydrogenated dimers of unsaturated fatty acids in food oils. Dimer content is 9
A hydrogenated dimer acid having an iodine value of 5% or more, more preferably 98% or more, and an iodine value of 20 or less, more preferably 10 or less is used. If the dimer content is less than 95% or the iodine value is more than 20, the copolyamide may not have a sufficiently high molecular weight, or a gel may form, making it impossible to coat electric wires by extrusion.

Examples of diamines include aliphatic diamines such as hexamethylene diamine and dodecamethylene diamine, aromatic diamines such as phenylene diamine, and alicyclic diamines such as cyclohexane diamine and isophorone diamine. Diamines having less than 4 carbon atoms are not only difficult to polymerize because they easily volatilize, but also the copolyamide obtained using them has a relatively high water absorption rate. Not only is it difficult to obtain diamines having more than 50 carbon atoms, but if they are copolymerized at the molar fraction as claimed in this patent, the amount of nylon 12 in the copolyamide will be too low, making the melting point unclear. I don't like it.

As a preferable method of using the present invention, when impedance detection is performed by completely alternating current, an ionic substance such as an alkali halide is added to the temperature sensitive body of the present invention to further suppress impedance changes due to temperature. Can be made larger. Another preferred method is to add a benzylic acid compound (Japanese Patent Application No. 63-218186) to the thermosensor of the present invention when the impedance detection means includes a DC component, such as half-wave rectification. It is also possible to further increase the change in impedance due to temperature and further reduce the water absorption rate.
