Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a modifier for resin, which exhibits excellent dispersibility to a curable resin or a thermoplastic resin.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • Resin products are produced according to purposes such as electric and electronic products, automobiles and building materials. To exhibit performances required according to the purposes, one or several kinds of resins and additives are added to the molded articles. These resins often require high toughness and a modifier for resin is added so as to impart impact strength required to end uses of the resin products.
  • Usually, this modifier for resin is supplied in the form of a powder. Therefore, dispersion of the modifier into a matrix resin becomes very important element and, when poor dispersion occurs, sufficient modification effect is not obtained and inclusion composed of extraordinary substance of the modifier is formed in appearance. Dispersion of the modifier for resin is particularly important element in electric and electronic components, solder pastes and coating materials. Particularly, it is necessary condition for a modifier for semiconductor sealing material to cause no poor dispersion due to the thinning and fine patterning of a package with recent high degree of functioning and high degree of integration of a semiconductor device.
  • As a method of imparting the strength to a semiconductor sealing material, a method of adding a rubber such as MBS resin to an epoxy resin has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
  • Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2000-7890
  • Patent Document 2: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. S62-22825
    • DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
  • However, the modifier for resin is not insufficient in dispersibility in a molding method in which processing is conducted under low shear. For example, when the modifier is added to a sealing epoxy resin, poor dispersion occurs and the resin itself may be cracked or fractured by thermal stress produced during a soldering treatment.
  • The present invention has been made so as to provide a modifier for resin, which exhibits excellent dispersibility when added to a thermoplastic resin or a curable resin, and also can impart impact resistance, matting properties or thickening properties.
  • The gist of the present invention lies in a modifier for resin having an average particle size of 20 μm or more, wherein particles having an average particle size of 10 μm or less account for less than 30% by mass of the modifier, and particles having an average particle size of 10 μm or less account for 30% by mass or more of the modifier after irradiating the modifier with ultrasonic wave of 40 W for 5 minutes.
  • Also the gist of the present invention lies in a resin composition comprising 1 to 40% by mass of the modifier for resin and 99 to 60% by mass (the total amount of both components is 100% by mass) of a thermoplastic resin or a curable resin.
  • Also the gist of the present invention lies in a molded article which is produced by molding the same.
    • EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION
  • The modifier for resin of the present invention is excellent in dispersibility when added to a thermoplastic resin or a curable resin and is excellent in appearance in the product, and also can impart sufficient impact strength.
  • Also a resin composition prepared by mixing the modifier for resin of the present invention with a thermoplastic resin or a curable resin can be applied to IC sealing agents, solder pastes and molded articles.
  • Furthermore, when the modifier for resin of the present invention is mixed with a curable resin composition, gloss is not increased even by friction and a matted coating film with excellent adhesion of a recoated coating film can be formed. Also the modifier for resin of the present invention exhibits excellent thickening properties to a nonaqueous coating material.
    • BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
  • Although the structure of the modifier for resin of the present invention is not specifically limited, a graft copolymer is preferably used. The graft copolymer is not specifically limited as far as it has a so-called core-shell type structure formed by using a rubbery polymer as a trunk polymer and grafting the rubbery polymer with a graft polymerizable vinyl-based monomer.
  • The rubbery polymer is not specifically limited and there can be used those, which are commonly used, such as diene-based rubber, acrylic rubber, silicone-based rubber or silicone-acrylic composite rubber. Among these, an acrylic rubber is preferably used because a modifier for resin having high dispersibility is obtained.
  • The diene-based rubber can be obtained by polymerizing 1,3-butadiene and, if necessary, at least one vinyl-based monomer copolymerizable with 1,3-butadiene. Examples of the vinyl-based monomer include aromatic vinyl such as styrene or α-methylstyrene; alkyl methacrylate ester such as methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate; alkyl acrylate ester such as ethyl acrylate or n-butyl acrylate; unsaturated nitrile such as acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile; vinyl ether such as methyl vinyl ether or butyl vinyl ether; vinyl halide such as vinyl chloride or vinyl bromide; vinylidene halide such as vinylidene chloride or vinylidene bromide; and vinyl-based monomer having a glycidyl group, such as glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, allyl glycidyl ether or ethylene glycol glycidyl ether.
  • Furthermore, it is possible to use in combination with crosslinkable monomers, for example, aromatic polyfunctional vinyl compound such as divinylbenzene or divinyltoluene; polyhydric alcohol such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or 1,3-butanediol diacrylate; trimethacrylate; triacrylate; allyl carboxylate ester such as allyl acrylate or allyl methacrylate; and di- and triallyl compounds such as diallyl phthalate, diallyl sebacate and triallyltriazine.
  • One or more kinds of vinyl-based monomers and crosslinkable monomers can be used. As a chain transfer agent, t-dodecylmercaptan, n-octylmercaptan and α-methylstyrene can be used. Preferably, t-dodecylmercaptan can be used.
  • As a method of polymerizing a butadiene-based rubber, an emulsion polymerization method is preferably used. A polymerization initiator is not specifically limited and there can be used a redox-based initiator containing, as a component, a water soluble persulfuric acid such as potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate or ammonium persulfate, or a organic peroxide such as diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, p-menthane hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide or t-butyl hydroperoxide, or a combination of the peroxide and at least one reducing agent. The polymerization can be appropriately conducted at a temperature within a range from about 40 to 80° C., although it depends on the kind of the polymerization initiator. As an emulsifier, known emulsifiers can be appropriately used, and monostage or multistage seed polymerization can be employed. According to circumstances, soap-free polymerization may be employed. It is also possible to prepare using a method of enlarging a rubber latex obtained in case of controlling the particle size with an acid or a salt.
  • The acrylic rubber can be prepared by polymerizing one or more kinds of alkyl(meth)acrylates with one or more kinds of vinyl-based monomers copolymerizable with the alkyl(meth)acrylates.
  • The alkyl(meth)acrylate is not specifically limited and examples thereof include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, i-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, ethoxyethoxy ethyl acrylate, methoxytripropylene glycol acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, lauryl methacrylate and stearyl methacrylate.
  • The monomer may include 20% by mass or less, and preferably 0.1 to 18% by mass of a monomer having two or more unsaturated bonds in the molecule. The monomer having two or more unsaturated bonds in the molecule serves as a crosslinking agent or a graft-crosslinking agent, and examples of the crosslinking agent include ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, propylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,3-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,4-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, divinylbenzene, and silicone such as polyfunctional methacryl group-modified silicone. Examples of the graft-crosslinking agent include allyl methacrylate, triallyl cyanurate and triallyl isocyanurate. The allyl methacrylate can also be used as the crosslinking agent. These crosslinking agents and graft-crossing agents are respectively used alone or in combination.
  • The monomer may contain, as a copolymer component, 30% by mass or less of various vinyl-based monomers, for example, aromatic alkenyl compound such as styrene, α-methylstyrene or vinyltoluene, vinyl cyanide compound such as acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile, methacrylic acid-modified silicone and fluorine-containing vinyl compound.
  • The acrylic rubber may have a single-layered, or two- or multi-layered structure. Also the acrylic rubber may be a polyalkyl(meth)acrylate-based composite rubber which contains two or more kinds of components and has two or more glass transition temperatures.
  • The polymerization method and the polymerization conditions in case of polymerizing the acrylic rubber are not specifically limited. The polymerization method to be employed is usually an emulsion polymerization method, and preferably a soap-free emulsion polymerization method. If necessary, a forced emulsion polymerization may be employed.
  • The polymerization initiator is not specifically limited and there can be used a redox-based initiator containing, as a component, a water soluble persulfuric acid such as potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate or ammonium persulfate, or a organic peroxide such as diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, p-menthane hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide or t-butyl hydroperoxide, or a combination of the peroxide and at least one reducing agent.
  • The emulsifier is not specifically limited and, if necessary, one or more alkali metal salts of higher fatty acid such as disproportionated rosin acid, oleic acid or stearic acid, and one or more sulfonic acid alkali metal salts such as dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid can be added.
  • It is also possible to prepare using a method of enlarging a rubber latex obtained in case of controlling the particle size with an acid or a salt.
  • The silicone-based rubber is not specifically limited and polyorganosiloxane having a vinyl polymerizable functional group is preferably used.
  • Examples of dimethylsiloxane used to prepare the polyorganosiloxane include 3- to multi-membered ring dimethylsiloxane-based cyclic compound, and 3 to 7-membered ring compounds are preferable. Specific examples thereof include hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, and these dimethylsiloxanes are used alone or in combination.
  • The vinyl polymerizable functional group-containing siloxane has a vinyl polymerizable functional group and is capable of bonding with the dimethylsiloxane via a siloxane bond, and various alkoxysilane compounds having a vinyl polymerizable functional group are preferable taking account of reactivity with the dimethylsiloxane. Specific examples thereof include methacryloyloxysilane such as β-methacryloyloxy ethyldimethoxymethylsilane, γ-methacryloyloxy propyldimethoxymethylsilane, γ-methacryloyloxy propylmethoxydimethylsilane, γ-methacryloyloxy propyltrimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloyloxy propylethoxy diethylsilane, γ-methacryloyloxy propylethoxy diethoxymethylsilane or δ-methacryloyloxybutyl diethoxymethylsilane; vinylsiloxane such as tetramethyl tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane; vinylphenylsilane such as p-vinylphenyl dimethoxymethylsilane; and mercaptosiloxane such as γ-mercaptopropyl dimethoxymethylsilane or γ-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane. These vinyl polymerizable functional group-containing siloxanes can be used alone or in combination.
  • As a siloxane-based crosslinking agent, there can be used trifunctional or tetrafunctional silane-based crosslinking agent, for example, trimethoxymethylsilane, triethoxyphenylsilane, tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane and tetrabutoxysilane.
  • The polyorganosiloxane can be prepared, for example, by forming a latex, which is obtained by emulsifying a mixture of a diorganosiloxane and a vinyl polymerizable functional group-containing siloxane or a mixture further containing a siloxane-based crosslinking agent optionally using an emulsifier and water, into fine particles using a homomixer for forming into fine particles through a shear force produced during high-speed rotation or a homogenizer for forming into fine particles through a jetting force produced by a pressure generator; polymerizing the resulting fine particles at high temperature using an acid catalyst; and neutralizing an acid with an alkali substance.
  • Examples of the method of adding an acid catalyst used in the polymerization include a method of mixing a siloxane mixture, an emulsifier and water and a method of adding dropwise a latex obtained by forming a siloxane mixture into fine particles in an aqueous acid solution at high temperature at a fixed rate. Taking account of ease of controlling the particle size of polyorganosiloxane, the method of adding dropwise a latex obtained by forming a siloxane mixture into fine particles in an aqueous acid solution at high temperature at a fixed rate is preferable.
  • Examples of the method of mixing a siloxane mixture, an emulsifier, water and/or an acid catalyst include a method of mixing under high-speed stirring and a method of mixing using a high-pressure emulsification apparatus such as homogenizer, and the method of using a homogenizer is a preferable method because particle size distribution of a polyorganosiloxane latex decreases.
  • The emulsifier used in the preparation of polyorganosiloxane is preferably an anionic emulsifier, and an emulsifier selected from among sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate, sodium polyoxyethylenenonylphenylether sulfate, and the like is used. Particularly, sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate and sodium lauryl sulfate are preferable.
  • Examples of the acid catalyst used in the polymerization of the polyorganosiloxane include sulfonic acids such as aliphatic sulfonic acid, aliphatic substituted benzenesulfonic acid and aliphatic substituted naphthalenesulfonic acid, and mineral acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. These acid catalysts can be used alone or in combination.
  • The polymerization can be terminated by cooling the reaction solution and neutralizing the latex with an alkali substance such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.
  • In the present invention, a silicone/acrylic composite rubber obtained by combining the silicone rubber with an alkyl (meth)acrylate rubber can also be used. The silicone/acrylic composite rubber can be prepared by adding an alkyl (meth)acrylate component in a latex of a polyorganosiloxane component and polymerizing the mixture in the presence of a conventional radical polymerization initiator. Examples of the method of adding the alkyl(meth)acrylate include a method of mixing with a latex of a polyorganosiloxane component at a time and a method of adding dropwise in a latex of a polyorganosiloxane component at a fixed rate. Taking account of impact resistance of the resulting resin composition containing a graft copolymer, the method of mixing with a latex of a polyorganosiloxane component at a time is preferable.
  • Examples of the alkyl(meth)acrylate include alkyl acrylate such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate or 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and alkyl methacrylate such as hexyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate or n-lauryl methacrylate, and these alkyl (meth)acrylates can be used alone or in combination. Taking account of impact resistance and molding gloss of the resin composition containing the graft copolymer, n-butyl acrylate is particularly preferably.
  • Examples of the polyfunctional alkyl (meth)acrylate include allyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, propylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,3-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,4-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, triallyl cyanurate and triallyl isocyanurate, and these polyfunctional alkyl(meth)acrylates can be used alone or in combination.
  • The radical polymerization initiator used in the polymerization is a peroxide, an azo-based initiator, or a redox-based initiator comprising an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent. Among these radical polymerization initiators, a redox-based initiator is preferable and an initiator comprising ferrous sulfate, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, Rongalite and hydroperoxide is preferable.
  • The graft copolymer latex used in the modifier for resin of the present invention is obtained by adding one or more kinds of copolymerizable vinyl-based monomers in the presence of a rubber polymer latex containing one or more kinds of components selected from among the diene-based rubber, the acrylic rubber, the silicone-based rubber and the silicone-acrylic composite rubber, followed by graft polymerization.
  • In the present invention, the monomer used in the graft polymerization is not specifically limited as far as it is copolymerizable with a rubber polymer. For example, there can be used a monomer mixture of aromatic vinyl such as styrene, a-methylstyrene, or various halogen-substituted and alkyl-substituted styrenes; alkyl methacrylate ester such as methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate; alkyl acrylate ester such as ethyl acrylate or n-butyl acrylate; unsaturated nitrile such as acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile; vinyl-based monomer having a glycidyl group, such as glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, allyl glycidyl ether or ethylene glycol glycidyl ether; and vinyl-based monomer having a hydroxy group such as hydroxymethacrylate, with the above-mentioned crosslinkable monomer and/or a chain transfer agent. If necessary, these monomer mixtures can be subjected to monostage, or two- or multistage graft polymerization according to balance between dispersibility and impact strength.
  • In the graft copolymer used in the modifier for resin of the present invention, when the sum of the total amount of the monomers used in the graft polymerization and the amount of the rubber polymer is 100% by mass, the total amount of the monomers used in the graft polymerization is preferably from 5 to 50% by mass. When the total amount of the monomers used in the graft polymerization is more than 50% by mass, the resulting product tends to be inferior in impact resistance. On the other hand, when the total amount is less than 5% by mass, the resulting product tends to be inferior in dispersibility.
  • The graft copolymer used in the modifier for resin of the present invention is preferably a graft copolymer in which a glass transition temperature (Tg) of a core component is preferably within a range from −150 to 10° C., and more preferably from −70 to −20° C., in view of an improvement in impact strength. In view of dispersibility, it is preferred to use a graft copolymer in which Tg of a shell component is within a range from 30 to 150° C., and more preferably from 40 to 130° C. As used herein, Tg of the polymer is measured as a transition point of Tan δ as measured by a dynamic mechanical property analyzer (hereinafter abbreviated to DMA).
  • The graft copolymer used in the modifier for resin of the present invention is recovered by spray drying of a latex obtained by the polymerization. At this time, a graft polymer having an average particle size of 200 nm or more in the latex obtained finally so as to improve dispersibility in a thermoplastic resin and a curable resin. When the average particle size is less than 200 nm, primary particles of the resulting modifier for resin are fused and good dispersibility cannot be exhibited. Similarly, in view of control of powder dispersibility, particle size distribution of latex particles is preferably narrowed as possible. Although no problem arise when particles having an average particle size of 150 nm or less are present, the content is preferably small as possible.
  • If necessary, proper antioxidants and additives can be previously added to the graft copolymer latex.
  • The resulting copolymer latex is powderized by drying using a spray drying method. The spray drying method comprises the steps of spraying a latex to form minute droplets and drying the minute droplets with blowing hot blast. The apparatus to be used is not specifically limited and, as a method of forming droplets, for example, there can be used any of rotary disk type, pressure nozzle type, two fluid nozzle type and pressure two fluid nozzle type apparatuses. Capacity of the dryer is not specifically limited and a small scale of a dryer used in a laboratory or a large scale dryer for industrial use can be used.
  • The position of an inlet portion as a portion for supplying a heating gas for drying in the dryer, and the position of an outlet portion as a port for discharging the heating gas for drying and a dry powder may be the same as those in a spray dryer used conventionally, and are not specifically limited. The temperature of hot blast to be introduced into the dryer (hot-air inlet temperature), that is, maximum temperature of hot blast which can be contacted with the graft copolymer is preferably 200° C. or lower, and particularly preferably from 120 to 180° C.
  • In case of spray drying, the graft polymer latex may be used alone or a mixture of plural latexes may also be used. Furthermore, spray drying can be conducted by adding inorganic filler (for example, silica, talc and calcium carbonate), polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylamide so as to improve powder properties such as blocking, and bulk specific gravity on spray drying. Spray drying can also be conducted by adding proper antioxidants and additives to a latex to be sprayed.
  • In the modifier for resin obtained under the above spraying conditions, particles having an average powder particle size of 20 μm or more and 10 μm or less account for less than 30% by mass. Particles having an average powder particle size of 10 μm or less preferably account for 20% by mass, and most preferably 10% by mass or less in view of handling property. The average particle size of the modifier for resin is preferably 200 μm or less.
  • The modifier for resin of the present invention has a structure that primary particles in the graft copolymer latex are coagulated without being completely fused and particles having an average particle size of 10 μm or less account for 30% by mass or more of the modifier after irradiating the modifier with ultrasonic wave of 40 W for 5 minutes. A modifier for resin in which particles having an average particle size of 10 μm or less account for 40% by mass or more of the modifier after irradiating the modifier with ultrasonic wave of 40 W for 5 minutes is preferable, and a modifier for resin in which particles having an average particle size of 10 μm or less account for 50% by mass or more of the modifier after irradiating the modifier with ultrasonic wave of 40 W for 5 minutes is most preferable.
  • Irradiation with ultrasonic wave is conducted after diluting the resulting powder with distilled water. For example, after irradiating with ultrasonic wave (40 W) for 5 minutes using a laser diffraction scattering type particle size distribution measuring apparatus (manufactured by NIKKISO CO., LTD. under the trade name of Microtrac MT3000, concentration range is automatically calculated by an apparatus), the proportion (% by weight) of particles having a particle size of 10 μm or less is measured.
