Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a polycarbonate copolymer having improved scratch resistance and a method of producing the same. [0002] POLYCARBONATE COPOLYMER HAVING IMPROVED SCRATCH RESISTANCE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME [0003]

Polycarbonate has excellent mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact resistance, and is excellent in dimensional stability, heat resistance and optical transparency, and is widely used in industrial applications. Studies have been continuing on various copolymers to improve the physical properties of polycarbonate. For example, polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymers have been proposed for improving low-temperature impact resistance (U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0105226).

The chemical structure of the polycarbonate prepared by using bisphenol A and phosgene has basically a hydroxyl group at the terminal end, and a new type of polymer can be produced by a method of activating hydroxyl groups at both terminal ends. In this case, the polymerization may be carried out in an aqueous solution, at an interface, or in a water-insoluble solution.

However, polycarbonates prepared from bisphenol A in particular have limited scratch resistance. Therefore, in order to prevent or minimize the scratch damage, it is necessary to apply a hard coat as a surface modification. This hard coat has a disadvantage in that it is accompanied by an additional process and a cost and is not durable.

Also, polycarbonates made from bisphenol A have low surface tensions, which can easily cause water vapor fogging due to condensation of water on cold surfaces, which reduces the optical advantage of the polycarbonate. Therefore, in order to reduce or eliminate such a water vapor streak phenomenon, it is necessary to apply a water vapor anti-reflection coating or introduce a hydrophilic functional group onto the molecule using a sulfonation method. However, all of these methods require complex processes and generate high additional costs. In addition, the water vapor stabilizer widely used in polyolefins is poor in thermal stability and poor in compatibility with polycarbonate.
