 本発明は、水性エマルションに関する。 The present invention relates to an aqueous emulsion.
 ポリプロピレンは、加工性や強度に優れるため、バンパー等の自動車部品に用いられている。自動車部品には、装飾等のために、通常、塗料が塗布される。しかしながら、ポリプロピレンの表面には塗料等の他の材料が接着し難いため、一般には、ポリプロピレンとの接着性に優れた塩素化ポリオレフィンをポリプロピレンに塗布し、その上に塗料が塗布されている(例えば、特開平5−7832号公報参照)。 Polypropylene is used for automobile parts such as bumpers because it has excellent processability and strength. A paint is usually applied to automobile parts for decoration or the like. However, since it is difficult for other materials such as paint to adhere to the surface of polypropylene, generally, a chlorinated polyolefin excellent in adhesiveness with polypropylene is applied to polypropylene, and the paint is applied thereon (for example, JP-A-5-7832).

 重合体(B−1)中の付加重合可能なモノマーに由来する構造単位の含有量は、本発明の水性エマルションを乾燥して得られる硬化物の接着性を損なわない量であればよく、重合体(B−1)を構成するすべての構造単位100モルに対して、5モル以下が好ましく、1モル以下がより好ましい。
 重合体(B−1)は、例えば、インデニルアニオン骨格または架橋されたシクロペンタジエニルアニオン骨格を有する基を有する遷移金属化合物を触媒として、対応するモノマーを重合させることにより製造することができる。なかでも、特開2003−82028号公報、特開2003−160621号公報および特開2000−128932号公報に記載の方法が好適である。
 重合体(B−1)の製造においては、用いる触媒の種類や重合条件によって、重合体(B−1)に加えて、エチレンの単独重合体、プロピレンの単独重合体および/またはビニル化合物(I)の単独重合体が生成することがある。そのような場合は、ソックスレー抽出器等を用いた溶媒抽出を行うことにより、重合体(B−1)を容易に取り出すことができる。溶媒として、トルエンを用いると、不溶成分として、ビニル化合物(I)の単独重合体を除去することができる。溶媒として、クロロホルムを用いると、エチレンの単独重合体、プロピレンの単独重合体などのオレフィンの単独重合体を、不溶成分として除去することができる。重合体(B−1)は、これら溶媒への可溶成分として分離することができる。その用途において問題がない場合には、上記のような副生物を含む重合体(B−1)を用いてもよい。
 重合体(B−1)の分子量分布(Mw/Mn=[重量平均分子量]/[数平均分子量])は、本発明の水性エマルションを乾燥して得られる硬化物の機械的強度および透明性の観点から、通常1.5~10.0程度であり、好ましくは1.5~7.0程度であり、より好ましくは1.5~5.0程度である。
 重合体(B−1)の重量平均分子量(Mw)は、本発明の水性エマルションを乾燥して得られる硬化物の機械的強度および重合体(B−1)の流動性の観点から、通常5,000~1,000,000程度であり、好ましくは10,000~500,000程度であり、より好ましくは15,000~400,000程度である。
 重合体(B−1)の分子量分布は、ゲル・パーミエーション・クロマトグラフィー(GPC)により求めることができる。
 JIS K 7210に準拠して、メルトインデクサ(L217−E14011、テクノ・セブン社製)を用いて、190℃、2.16kgfの条件下で測定した重合体(B−1)のメルトフローレート(MFR)の値は、本発明の水性エマルション中の重合体(B−1)の分散性の観点から、通常130~300g/10分であり、好ましくは130~220g/10分である。
 重合体(B−2)とは、重合体(B−1)にα,β−不飽和カルボン酸無水物をグラフト重合させることにより得られる重合体である。
 α,β−不飽和カルボン酸無水物のグラフト重合量は、重合体(B−2)100重量部に対して、通常0.01~20重量部程度、好ましくは0.05~10重量部程度、より好ましくは0.1~5重量部程度である。
 α,β−不飽和カルボン酸無水物のグラフト重合量が0.01重量部以上の重合体(B−2)を含む本発明の水性エマルションは、その接着性が向上する傾向にある。α,β−不飽和カルボン酸無水物のグラフト重合量が20重量部以下の重合体(B−2)を含む本発明の水性エマルションは、着色が起こりにくい傾向にある。

 グラフト重合は、通常ラジカル開始剤の存在下に行われる。
 ラジカル開始剤の使用量は、それが少ないと、α,β−不飽和カルボン酸無水物のグラフト重合量が少なくなり、本発明の水性エマルションを乾燥して得られる硬化物の接着性が向上しにくい傾向があり、また、それが多いと、重合体(B−2)中に含まれる未反応のラジカル開始剤の量が増える傾向にあるため、重合体(B−1)100重量部に対して、通常0.01~10重量部、好ましくは0.01~1重量部である。
 ラジカル開始剤としては、通常有機過酸化物が用いられ、半減期が1分となる分解温度が50~210℃である有機過酸化物が好ましい。分解温度が50℃以上である有機過酸化物を用いた場合には、α,β−不飽和カルボン酸無水物のグラフト重合量が向上する傾向があり、分解温度が210℃以下である有機過酸化物を用いた場合には、グラフト重合における重合体(B−1)の分解が低減される傾向がある。分解によりラジカルを発生した後、重合体(B−1)からプロトンを引き抜く機能を有する有機過酸化物が好ましい。
