Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle actuator gear comprising a polyketone polymer,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an automotive actuator gear manufactured by injection molding a polyketone polymer, and more particularly, to an automotive actuator gear having excellent impact resistance and abrasion resistance.

Generally, polyoxymethylene (hereinafter referred to as "POM") has a high mechanical strength and is very advantageous in rigidity, creep resistance, chemical resistance, chemical resistance, and sliding properties. Due to the advantages described above, it is widely regarded as a representative engineering plastic in automobile parts, electrical and electronic equipment parts, and industrial fields.

POM itself satisfies some degree of mechanical properties and abrasion resistance. However, there is a problem that this part of the gear is damaged when driven under high load, and when it is applied to a rotating part, the crystallization degree is higher than that of other engineering plastics and the shrinkage ratio is large It may cause noise due to the problem of dimensions. Accordingly, it has become necessary to improve rigidity, abrasion resistance, and shrinkage characteristics.

Conventionally, various lubricants have been studied for the purpose of improving wear resistance of the POM resin. In particular, many studies have been conducted to improve the abrasion resistance at high load by incorporating a lubricant. Japanese Patent Publication No. 67-21786, for example, discloses a method of adding petroleum-based lubricating oil or synthetic lubricating oil to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 72-41092 introduces a composition in which ester-based lubricating oil is added to polycarbonate resin. However, in this case, there is a problem that stiffness is remarkably deteriorated and can not be used for applications requiring rigidity, and the added lubricant has a problem of being exposed on the surface of the product.

Further, Japanese Patent Publication No. 73-37572 discloses a composition in which an unsaturated higher fatty acid, a salt of an unsaturated higher fatty acid, an ester, an amide, a chloride or a metal soap is additionally added. This composition, too, I can not solve it.

Korean Patent Publication No. 1991-0010024 discloses a composition in which potassium titanate and a lubricant are added. In this case, sufficient rigidity can be obtained, but it is necessary to improve the characteristics of abrasion resistance and shrinkage anisotropy.

Another technology, Patent No. 10-0855130, discloses a composition comprising (a) 100 parts by weight of a polyoxymethylene resin, (b) 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of a layered clay filler, (c) 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of silicone oil, and (d) Or 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of neoalkoxysilicate as a polyoxymethylene resin composition, which can be used as a helical gear or the like. With the above-described structure, it is possible to manufacture a gear having a high flexural modulus, a constant mold shrinkage rate, excellent shrinkage anisotropy, rigidity, and low noise.

However, even if the above-mentioned polyoxymethylene resin is used, it is a reality that the abrasion resistance can not be improved. Therefore, fundamental problems related to the durability of ATM are not solved, and troubles such as occurrence of frequent faults due to long-term use, additional costs due to the replacement of parts due to long-term use, and generation of complaints from customers are constant.

On the other hand, polyketone (PK) has been extensively applied to various industries due to excellent properties such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, fuel permeability and abrasion resistance compared with general engineering plastic materials such as polyamide, polyester and polycarbonate.

Accordingly, it is required to develop a new material that can be applied to a wide range of fields including automotive actuator gears, while satisfying basic mechanical properties and dimensional stability as well as excellent wear resistance.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide an automotive actuator gear having excellent impact resistance and abrasion resistance by injection molding using a polyketone polymer.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a poly (alkylene oxide) comprising a linear alternating polyketone polymer composed of carbon monoxide and at least one olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon and having a residual amount of palladium catalyst of 5 to 50 ppm and a molecular weight distribution of 1.5 to 3.0, Wherein the actuator gear is manufactured by injection molding a ketone composition.

At this time, the polyketone composition preferably further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a silicon-based abrasion-resistant agent, glass fiber, and polytetrafluoroethylene resin.

The linear alternating polyketone preferably has a molar ratio of ethylene to propylene in the range of 99: 1 to 85:15.

The intrinsic viscosity of the linear alternating polyketone polymer is preferably 1.2 to 2.0 dl / g.

In addition, the automotive actuator gear has an impact strength of 10 kJ / m ² or more and an abrasion resistance of 0.015 g or less in a base state.

The automotive actuator gear according to the present invention is manufactured by injection molding a polyketone polymer, so that it is excellent in impact resistance and abrasion resistance, cost can be reduced, and productivity can be improved.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

Examples of aryl aliphatic hydrocarbons in ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons include styrene, p-methyl styrene, p-ethyl styrene and m-isopropyl styrene. The polyketone polymer preferably used in the present invention is a copolymer of carbon monoxide and ethene or a second ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon having carbon monoxide, ethene and at least three carbon atoms, in particular alpha-olefins such as propene Is a terpolymer.

When the polyketone terpolymer is used as the main polymer component of the blend of the present invention, there are at least two units containing an ethylene moiety in each unit containing the second hydrocarbon moiety in the terpolymer. It is preferable that the number of units containing the second hydrocarbon moiety is from 10 to 100.

Preferred polymeric rings of the polyketone polymers in the present invention can be represented by the following formula (1).

In the above formula (1), G is an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon, particularly a portion obtained from an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least three carbon atoms, and x: y is at least 2: 1.

In the above, when y is 0, it may be represented by the following general formula (2), and it becomes a copolymer and does not contain the second ethylenic unsaturated hydrocarbon.

And

The units of formula (2) are randomly applied throughout the polymer chain. The preferred y: x ratio is from 0.01 to 0.5. The terminal root, or "cap ", of the polymeric ring is determined depending on what material is present during the preparation of the polymer and how the polymer will be purified or the polymer will be purified.

Particularly preferred are polyketone polymers having a number average molecular weight of from 100 to 200,000, especially from 20,000 to 90,000, as measured by gel permeation chromatography. The physical properties of the polymer are determined according to the molecular weight, depending on whether the polymer is a copolymer or a terpolymer and, in the case of a terpolymer, the properties of the second hydrocarbon part. The melting point of the total of the polymers used in the present invention is 175 ° C to 300 ° C, and generally 210 ° C to 270 ° C. The intrinsic viscosity (LVN) of the polymer measured by HFIP (Hexafluoroisopropylalcohol) at 60 DEG C using a standard tubular viscosity measuring device is 0.5 dl / g to 10 dl / g, preferably 0.8 dl / g to 4 dl / g, Preferably 1.2 dl / g to 2.0 dl / g.

As a method of producing the polyketone polymer, liquid phase polymerization in which carbon monoxide and olefin are carried out in an alcohol solvent through a catalyst composition composed of a palladium compound, an acid having 6 or less of PKa, and a ligand compound of phosphorus can be employed. The polymerization temperature is preferably from 50 to 100 ° C. and the reaction pressure is from 40 to 60 bar. The polymer is recovered through filtration and purification processes after polymerization, and the remaining catalyst composition is removed with a solvent such as alcohol or acetone.

This is preferred as palladium acetate and a palladium compound in the amount of 10 ^-3 to ^10-2 1mole preferred. Specific examples of the acid having a pKa value of 6 or less include trifluoroacetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, and sulfonic acid.

Also, 1,3-bis [di (2-methoxyphenylphosphino)] propane is preferably used as the left-handed compound of phosphorus, and the amount to be used is preferably 1 to 1.2 equivalents based on palladium.

Hereinafter, the polymerization process of the polyketone polymer will be described in detail.

The repeating unit derived from carbon monoxide, an ethylenically unsaturated compound and one or more olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds, three or more copolymers, especially repeating units derived from carbon monoxide, and ethylenically unsaturated compounds and repeating units derived from propylenically unsaturated compounds are substantially Are excellent in mechanical properties and thermal properties, excellent in processability, high in abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and gas barrier property, and are useful materials for various applications. It is considered that the high molecular weight product of the copolymerized polyketone having three or more members is more useful as an engineering plastic material having higher workability and thermal properties and having excellent economy. Particularly, it has high abrasion resistance and can be used in light gasoline tanks because of high gas barrier properties such as parts of gears of automobiles, high chemical resistance, and lining materials of chemical transport pipes. In the case of using an ultrahigh molecular weight polyketone having an intrinsic viscosity of 2 or more as the fiber, it is possible to conduct stretching at a high magnification and to have a high strength and a high modulus of elasticity oriented in the stretching direction as belts, reinforcements of rubber hoses, tire cords, And is suitable for use in building materials and industrial materials.

The production method of polyketone is carried out in the presence of an organometallic complex catalyst comprising (a) a Group 9, 10 or 11 transition metal compound, and (b) a ligand having an element of Group 15 elements, A process for producing a polyketone by terephthalic copolymerization of an ethylenic and a propylenically unsaturated compound is characterized in that a mixed solvent of 70 to 90% by volume of acetic acid and 10 to 30% by volume of water is used as a liquid medium and benzophenone .

Here, the liquid medium is characterized in that a mixed solvent of acetic acid and water is used without using methanol, dichloromethane, or nitromethane, which has conventionally been used for producing polyketones. This is because the use of a mixed solvent of acetic acid and water as a liquid medium for the production of polyketone can improve the catalytic activity while reducing the manufacturing cost of the polyketone.

When a mixed solvent of acetic acid and water is used as a liquid medium, when the concentration of water is less than 10% by volume, the effect of the catalyst is less affected. When the concentration of water is 10% by volume or more, the catalytic activity increases sharply. On the other hand, when the concentration of water exceeds 30% by volume, the catalytic activity tends to decrease. Therefore, it is preferable to use a mixed solvent comprising 70 to 90% by volume of acetic acid and 10 to 30% by volume of water as the liquid medium

Wherein the catalyst comprises (a) a Group 9, 10 or 11 transition metal compound of the Periodic Table of the Elements (IUPAC Inorganic Chemical Nomenclature, 1989) and (b) a ligand having an element of Group 15 elements.

The preferred ligand (b) having a Group 15 atom is 1,3-bis [di (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphino] propane or 1,3-bis (diphenylphosphino) Bis (di (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphino] propane or ((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-5,5- -Methoxyphenyl) phosphine).

Bis (bis (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphine) bis (methylene) bis (bis (2-methoxyphenyl) Activity equivalent to that of 3,3-bis- [bis- (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphanylmethyl] -1,5-dioxa-spiro [5,5] undecane, which is known to exhibit the highest activity among polymerization catalysts The structure is simpler and has a lower molecular weight. As a result, the present invention has been able to provide a novel polyketone polymerization catalyst having the highest activity as a polyketone polymerization catalyst of the present invention, while further reducing its manufacturing cost and cost. A method for producing a ligand for a polyketone polymerization catalyst is as follows. ((2,2-dimethyl) -2,3-dioxolane was obtained by using bis (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphine, 5,5-bis (bromomethyl) Bis (bis (methylene)) bis (bis (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphine) is obtained by reacting a bis (methylene) . The process for preparing a ligand for a polyketone polymerization catalyst according to the present invention is a process for producing a ligand for a polyketone polymerization catalyst which comprises reacting 3,3-bis- [bis- (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphanylmethyl] -1,5-dioxa-spiro [5,5] ((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-5,5-diyl) bis (methylene)) bis (bis (2- Methoxyphenyl) phosphine) can be commercially synthesized in a large amount.

In a preferred embodiment, the process for preparing a ligand for a polyketone polymerization catalyst of the present invention comprises: (a) introducing bis (2-methoxyphenyl) phosphine and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) into a reaction vessel under nitrogen atmosphere, Adding sodium and stirring; (b) adding 5,5-bis (bromomethyl) -2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane and dimethylsulfoxide to the resulting mixture, followed by stirring and reacting; (c) adding methanol and stirring after completion of the reaction; (d) adding toluene and water, separating the layers, washing the oil layer with water, drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtering under reduced pressure, and concentrating under reduced pressure; And (e) the residue was recrystallized from methanol to obtain ((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-5,5- diyl) bis (methylene)) bis (bis (2- methoxyphenyl) And a step of acquiring the image data.

The amount of the Group 9, Group 10 or Group 11 transition metal compound (a) to be used varies depending on the kinds of the ethylenic and propylenically unsaturated compounds to be selected and other polymerization conditions. Therefore, But it is usually from 0.01 to 100 mmol, preferably from 0.01 to 10 mmol, per 1 liter of the reaction zone. The capacity of the reaction zone means the liquid phase capacity of the reactor. The amount of the ligand (b) to be used is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.1 to 3 mol, preferably 1 to 3 mol, per 1 mol of the transition metal compound (a).

Further, the addition of benzophenone in the polymerization of the polyketone is another characteristic. In the present invention, an effect of improving the intrinsic viscosity of the polyketone can be achieved by adding benzophenone in the polymerization of the polyketone. The molar ratio of (a) the ninth, tenth, or eleventh transition metal compound to benzophenone is 1: 5-100, preferably 1:40-60. If the molar ratio of the transition metal to the benzophenone is less than 1: 5, the effect of improving the intrinsic viscosity of the produced polyketone is unsatisfactory. If the molar ratio of the transition metal to the benzophenone exceeds 1: 100, It is not preferable because it tends to decrease

Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated compound copolymerized with carbon monoxide include ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-octene, -Olefins such as hexadecene and vinylcyclohexane; Alkenyl aromatic compounds such as styrene and? -Methylstyrene; But are not limited to, cyclopentene, norbornene, 5-methylnorbornene, 5-phenylnorbornene, tetracyclododecene, tricyclododecene, tricyclodecene, pentacyclopentadecene, pentacyclohexadecene, Cyclic olefins such as cyclododecene; Vinyl halides such as vinyl chloride; Ethyl acrylate, and acrylates such as methyl acrylate. Of these, preferred ethylenically unsaturated compounds are? -Olefins, more preferably? -Olefins having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, most preferably ethylene, and 1 to 20 mol% of propylene is added in the production of the terpolymerized polyketone.

Here, it is preferable to adjust the charging ratio of the carbon monoxide and the ethylenic unsaturated compound to 1: 1 to 2 (molar ratio) and to adjust the propylene to 1 to 20 mol% based on the total mixed gas. In the production of polyketones, it is general to set the mixing ratio of carbon monoxide and ethylenic unsaturated compound to 1: 1. However, in the present invention in which a mixed solvent of acetic acid and water is used as a liquid medium and benzophenone is added during polymerization, It has been found that when the feed ratio of the unsaturated compound is adjusted to 1: 1 to 2 and the propylene is adjusted to 1 to 20 mol% based on the total mixed gas, not only the processability but also the catalyst activity and the intrinsic viscosity can be simultaneously achieved. When the amount of propylene is less than 1 mol%, the effect of the ternary copolymerization to lower the melting temperature can not be obtained. When the amount exceeds 20 mol%, the intrinsic viscosity and the improvement of the catalytic activity are inhibited, so that the addition ratio is adjusted to 1 to 20 mol% .

In addition, in the polymerization step, a mixed solvent of acetic acid and water is used as a liquid medium, benzophenone is added during polymerization, and carbon monoxide, an ethylenic unsaturated compound and one or more olefinic unsaturated compounds are introduced, But it is also possible to prepare a terpolymerized polyketone having a high intrinsic viscosity only in a polymerization time of about 1 to 2 hours, unlike the prior art which requires a polymerization time of at least 10 hours to improve the intrinsic viscosity Do.

Wherein the carbon monoxide and the ethylenically unsaturated compound and the propylenically unsaturated compound are copolymerized with an organometallic complex comprising a ligand (b) having an element of group 9, group 10 or group 11 transition metal compound (a) or group 15 Catalyzed, the catalyst is produced by contacting the two components. Any method may be employed as the method of contacting. That is, the solution may be prepared as a solution in which two components are premixed in a suitable solvent, or the two components may be supplied separately to the polymerization system and contacted in the polymerization system.

In the present invention, conventionally known additives such as an antioxidant, a stabilizer, a filler, a refractory material, a releasing agent, a coloring agent, and other materials may be further added to improve the processability and physical properties of the polymer.

As the polymerization method, a solution polymerization method using a liquid medium, a suspension polymerization method, a vapor phase polymerization method in which a small amount of a polymer is impregnated with a high concentration catalyst solution, and the like are used. The polymerization may be either batchwise or continuous. The reactor used in the polymerization can be used as it is or in a known manner. The polymerization temperature is not particularly limited, and is generally 40 to 180 占 폚, preferably 50 to 120 占 폚. The pressure at the time of polymerization is not particularly limited, but is generally from normal pressure to 20 MPa, preferably from 4 to 15 MPa.

The greater the kinetic friction coefficient, the greater the frictional force. On the contrary, the smaller the kinetic frictional coefficient, the smaller the frictional force.

3. Evaluation of abrasion: The test was carried out in accordance with JIS K7218 (test conditions: 50 rmp, 3 km wear at 150 N).

Item Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative Example 1 Impact strength
(kJ / m2) 11 10 14 14 6 Coefficient of friction 0.34 0.14 0.3 0.25 0.15 Abrasion
(g) 0.009 0.004 0.006 0.003 0.191

As can be seen from Table 1, the impact strength of the Examples was improved compared to Comparative Example 1. [ Further, in the case of the embodiment, the coefficient of dynamic friction and abrasion of the comparative example 1 are small, so that the frictional force is small and the abrasion resistance is improved. Therefore, the automotive actuator gear manufactured through the embodiment of the present invention exhibits superior impact resistance and wear resistance compared to the comparative example used as a conventional automotive actuator gear material, and thus is more suitable for application as an automotive actuator gear .
