Description

Polyarylene sulfide resin composition, molded product thereof, and electric vehicle parts {POLYARYLENE SULFIDE RESIN COMPOSITION AND MOLDED PRODUCT THEREOF, AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE PART}

The present invention relates to polyarylene sulfide resin compositions, molded products thereof, and electric vehicle parts.

Electric vehicles, which have recently been attracting attention, have many parts that operate at high voltage, and resin molded products are used for these electric vehicle parts. As a use of the resin molded product, for example, an ignition coil case for an automobile in which the resin molded product is used as a coil case and the ignition coil is sealed with an epoxy resin composition or the like within the coil case, or spark plugs and ignition coils. An example is the coil case in this integrated distributorless ignition system (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “DLI system”).

These electric vehicle parts are required to have tracking resistance so that they are unlikely to ignite even under high voltage. Additionally, for example, for the coil case as described above, it is desirable to have excellent adhesion to epoxy resin or metal.

In relation to this, for example, polyphenylene sulfide resin (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "PPS resin") and polyarylene sulfide resin (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "PAS resin"), which contain It has been proposed to mold the resin composition and use it for automobile parts as described above (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-103964

However, in a composition containing a conventional polyarylene sulfide resin, the amount of gas generated by heating during molding or other processing is relatively large. For this reason, when a low-molecular-weight compound containing a sulfur atom, which is a gas component, and a metal material such as copper come into contact, the two react by repeatedly applying a high voltage, causing tri (dendritic destruction traces). The possibility of this occurring also increased, and there was a risk that tracking resistance would deteriorate due to this. In particular, electric vehicles that use a motor as a driving force require driving energy equivalent to that of a gasoline engine when starting, so they are equipped with a lithium-ion secondary battery, have a battery voltage of 100 to 400 V, and are additionally equipped with a boosting circuit. It is driven by high voltage up to 650V. In automotive parts that require high safety, especially electric vehicle parts, there are many parts that operate under high voltage and high current, so ignition in the event of abnormalities is at a higher level compared to conventional automobiles using lead acid batteries. Prevention and combustion prevention performance are required, and not only is it excellent in flame retardancy, but it is also required to further suppress the tracking phenomenon that causes ignition. In addition, in the resin composition or its molded product, there was still room for improvement in properties such as mechanical strength, epoxy adhesion, metal adhesion, and cavity balance.

Therefore, the problem that the present invention seeks to solve is a polyarylene sulfide that can suppress the amount of gas generated by heating and has excellent tracking resistance, mechanical strength, metal adhesion, and cavity balance characteristics in a resin composition or a molded product thereof. The object is to provide a resin composition, a molded article for an electric vehicle using the resin composition, and electric vehicle parts including the molded article.

As a result of various studies, the present inventors have found that the above problem can be solved by using a polyarylene sulfide resin obtained by melt-polymerizing a diiodo aromatic compound, simple sulfur, and a polymerization inhibitor. We found this out and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention is a polyarylene sulfide resin, an inorganic filler, a thermoplastic resin other than a polyarylene sulfide resin, an elastomer, and at least one kind of crosslinkable resin selected from the group consisting of a crosslinkable functional group having two or more crosslinkable functional groups. Containing other components (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "the other components"), the polyarylene sulfide resin includes a diiodo aromatic compound, simple sulfur, and a polymerization inhibitor, a diiodo aromatic compound, It relates to a polyarylene sulfide resin composition for electric vehicle parts, which can be obtained by a method comprising reacting in a molten mixture containing elemental sulfur and a polymerization inhibitor.

According to the present invention, the amount of gas generated by heating can be suppressed. Furthermore, according to the present invention, a molded article of a polyarylene sulfide resin composition excellent in properties such as tracking resistance, mechanical strength, epoxy adhesion, metal adhesion, cavity balance, and hot water resistance is obtained.

Additionally, cavity balance is related to the uniformity of the filling degree of each cavity when a plurality of molded articles are molded simultaneously through injection molding using a mold having a plurality of cavities. If the cavity balance of the molding material is insufficient, molding defects in which some cavities are not sufficiently filled tend to occur.

The polymerization inhibitor can be added when the temperature reaches the range, more preferably within the range of 250 to 320°C.

The polymerization rate can be controlled by adding a nitro compound as a catalyst to the molten mixture. As this nitro compound, various nitrobenzene derivatives can usually be used.

A method of washing once or twice or more with a solvent selected from organic solvents having equal solubility), acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and alcohol, and further neutralizing, washing with water, filtering, and drying.

(2) Solvents such as water, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, alcohol, ether, halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and aliphatic hydrocarbons are added to the melt (soluble in the solvent of the melt, and at least polyarylene sulfide) A method in which a solid product containing a polyarylene sulfide resin and an inorganic salt is precipitated by adding a solvent that is a poor solvent for the resin as a precipitant, and the solid product is filtered, washed, and dried.

(3) The solvent used in the melt (or an organic solvent with equivalent solubility to the low-molecular polymer) was added to the melt, stirred, and then filtered to remove the low-molecular weight polymer, followed by water, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and A method of washing once or twice or more with a solvent selected from alcohol, etc., followed by neutralization, washing with water, filtration, and drying.

In addition, in the post-treatment methods as exemplified in (1) to (3) above, drying of the polyarylene sulfide resin may be performed in a vacuum, in air or in an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen. The polyarylene sulfide resin can also be oxidized and crosslinked by heat treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of 5 to 30% by volume or under reduced pressure conditions.

The reaction produced by polyarylene sulfide resin through melt polymerization is exemplified below.

Reaction formulas (1) to (5) are, for example, when diphenyl disulfide having a substituent R containing a group represented by general formula (a), (b) or (c) is used as a polymerization inhibitor, This is an example of a reaction produced by polyphenylene sulfide. Reaction formula (1) is a reaction in which the -S-S- bond in the polymerization inhibitor undergoes radical cleavage at the melting temperature. Reaction formula (2) shows that the sulfur radical generated in reaction formula (1) attacks the carbon atom adjacent to the terminal iodine atom of the growing main chain, and the iodine atom is desorbed, thereby stopping polymerization and introducing a substituent R at the end of the main chain. It is a reaction that works. Reaction formula (3) is a reaction in which the disulfide bond that exists in the main chain of the polyarylene sulfide resin derived from the raw material (single sulfur) undergoes radical cleavage under the melting temperature. Reaction formula (4) is a reaction in which polymerization is stopped and a substituent R is introduced to the terminal of the main chain by recombination of the sulfur radical generated in Reaction formula (3) with the sulfur radical generated in Reaction formula (1). The detached iodine atom is in a free state (iodine radical), or iodine radicals recombine with each other as shown in reaction formula (5), thereby producing an iodine molecule.

The reaction product containing polyarylene sulfide resin obtained by melt polymerization contains iodine atoms derived from the raw materials. Therefore, polyarylene sulfide resin is usually used in the form of a mixture containing iodine atoms for the preparation of a resin composition for spinning. The concentration of iodine atoms in the mixture is, for example, in the range of 0.01 to 10,000 ppm relative to the polyarylene sulfide resin, and preferably in the range of 10 to 5,000 ppm. It is also possible to suppress the iodine atom concentration to a low level by utilizing the sublimation property of iodine molecules, and in that case, it is possible to set it to the range of 900 ppm or less, preferably 100 ppm or less, and furthermore, 10 ppm or less. It is possible to further remove iodine atoms below the detection limit, but this is not practical considering productivity. The detection limit is, for example, about 0.01 ppm. Since the polyarylene sulfide resin of the present embodiment obtained by melt polymerization or the reaction product containing the same contains an iodine atom, for example, solution polymerization of a dichloro aromatic compound in an organic polar solvent such as the Phillips method It can be clearly distinguished from polyarylene sulfide obtained by law.

As can be understood from the above reaction formula, the polyarylene sulfide resin obtained by melt polymerization has a main chain mainly composed of an arylene sulfide unit consisting of an aromatic ring derived from a diiodo aromatic compound and a sulfur atom directly bonded thereto, It contains a predetermined substituent R attached to the terminal of the main chain. The predetermined substituent R is bonded to the aromatic ring at the terminal of the main chain directly or through a partial structure derived from a polymerization inhibitor.

It may include a repeating unit having a substituent as a side chain bonded to an aromatic ring, represented by . However, from the viewpoint of a decrease in crystallinity and heat resistance, it is preferable that the polyphenylene sulfide resin does not substantially contain the repeating unit of the general formula (11). More specifically, the ratio of the repeating unit represented by formula (11) is preferably 2% by mass or less relative to the sum of the repeating unit represented by formula (10) and the repeating unit represented by formula (11). , more preferably 0.2% by mass or less.

In terms of heat resistance and mechanical strength, the ratio of the structural unit represented by formula (20) is preferably 2.9% by mass or less relative to the sum of the arylene sulfide unit and the constituent portion represented by formula (20). range, more preferably 1.2% by mass or less. It is preferable that the polyarylene sulfide resin contains the structural unit represented by formula (20) because the adhesion between the polyarylene sulfide resin composition and the metal improves.

Mw/Mtop of the polyarylene sulfide resin according to this embodiment is preferably in the range of 0.80 to 1.70, more preferably in the range of 0.90 to 1.30. By setting Mw/Mtop in this range, the processability of polyarylene sulfide resin can be improved and good cavity balance can be provided. In this specification, Mw represents the weight average molecular weight measured by gel permeation chromatography, and Mtop represents the average molecular weight (peak molecular weight) at the point where the detection intensity of the chromatogram obtained by the same measurement is maximum. Mw/Mtop represents the distribution of the molecular weight of the measurement target. Typically, when this value is close to 1, it indicates that the molecular weight distribution is narrow, and as this value increases, it indicates that the molecular weight distribution is wide. In addition, the measurement conditions for gel permeation chromatography are the same as those in the examples of this specification. However, it is possible to change the measurement conditions to the extent that it does not substantially affect the values of Mw and Mw/Mtop.

The weight average molecular weight of the polyarylene sulfide resin according to the present embodiment is not particularly limited as long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired, but the lower limit is preferably 28,000 or more from the viewpoint of excellent mechanical strength, and is in the range of 30,000 or more. It is more desirable. On the other hand, the upper limit is preferably in the range of 100,000 or less because it can provide better cavity balance, more preferably in the range of 60,000 or less, and most preferably in the range of 55,000 or less. Additionally, from the viewpoint of being excellent in mechanical strength and providing good cavity balance, a polyarylene sulfide resin in the range of 28,000 to 60,000, more preferably a polyarylene sulfide resin in the range of 30,000 to 55,000; Additionally, you may use a polyarylene sulfide resin whose weight average molecular weight is in the range of more than 60,000 and less than or equal to 100,000.

The non-Newtonian index of the polyarylene sulfide resin is preferably in the range of 0.95 to 1.75, and more preferably in the range of 1.0 to 1.70. By setting the non-Newtonian index in this range, the processability of polyarylene sulfide resin can be improved and good cavity balance can be provided. In this specification, the non-Newtonian index refers to an index that satisfies the following relationship between shear rate and shear stress under the condition of a temperature of 300°C. The non-Newtonian index can be an indicator of the molecular weight of the measurement object or the molecular structure such as straight chain, branched, or cross-linked. Typically, if this value is close to 1, it indicates that the molecular structure of the resin is linear, As this value increases, it indicates that more branched or cross-linked structures are included.

D=α×S ⁿ

(In the above formula, D represents the shear rate, S represents the shear stress, α represents a constant, and n represents a non-Newtonian exponent)
