上記熱処理後の反射率保持率(%)測定により得られた熱処理後の成形片を、100℃のメタルハライドランプ式耐光性試験機(岩崎電気株式会社製)にて、700時間、メタルハライド暴露処理した。成形片を設置した位置での照度は10mW/cm2であった。このメタルハライド暴露処理前後の成形片に対して波長450nmの光を照射し、その光の反射率を日立分光光度計(U-3310)により測定し、反射率保持率を算出した。
実施例及び比較例で得られたポリアミド組成物のペレットを、スクリュー径40mmの二軸押出機により押出加工した。該押出加工の際、シリンダーの温度をポリアミド(A)のTm2+20℃に設定し、スクリュー回転数を180rpmに設定し、吐出量を100kg/hに設定した。押出開始から20分の間に発生するストランド切れの回数を測定した。該ストランド切れの回数が少ないほど、押出加工性に優れると判断した。
[製造例1]
1,4-シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸(CHDA)896g(5.20モル)、及び2-メチルペンタメチレンジアミン(2MC5DA)604g(5.20モル)を蒸留水1500gに溶解させ、原料モノマーが等モル溶解した溶質50質量%の水混合液を調製した。得られた水混合液と、溶融重合時の添加物である、2MC5DA 21g(0.18モル)とを内容積5.4Lのオートクレーブ(日東高圧製)に仕込んだ。次に、オートクレーブ内の液温(内温)が50℃になるまで加温した。その後、オートクレーブ内を窒素置換した。オートクレーブの槽内(以下、単に「槽内」ともいう。)の圧力が、ゲージ圧として(以下、槽内の圧力は全てゲージ圧として表記した。)、約2.5kg/cm2になるまで加熱を続けた(このとき液温は約145℃であった)。槽内の圧力を約2.5kg/cm2に保つため水を系外に除去しながら、加熱を続けて、槽内の水溶液の溶質濃度が約85質量%になるまで濃縮した。水の除去を止め、槽内の圧力が約30kg/cm2になるまで加熱を続けた。その後、槽内の圧力を約30kg/cm2に保つため水を系外に除去しながら、最終温度(約345℃)より50℃低い温度(約295℃)になるまで加熱を続けた。さらに加熱を続けながら、槽内の圧力を60分間かけて大気圧(ゲージ圧は0kg/cm2)になるまで降圧した。降圧中、槽内の樹脂温度(液温)の最終温度が約345℃になるようにヒーター温度を調整した。槽内の樹脂温度を維持し、槽内を真空装置で100torrに減圧し、減圧状態で10分維持した。その後、槽内を窒素で加圧し、下部紡口(ノズル)から生成物をストランド状にして排出した。さらにストランド状の生成物を、水冷、カッティングを行いペレット状のポリアミド(A)(ポリアミドペレット)を得た。
CHDA 782g(4.54モル)と1,9-ノナメチレンジアミン(C9DA)575g(3.63モル)と2-メチルオクタメチレンジアミン(2MC9DA)144g(0.91モル)とを蒸留水1500gに溶解させ、原料モノマーが等モル溶解した溶質50質量%の水混合液を調製した。得られた水混合液と、溶融重合時の添加物である、C9DA 11g(0.07モル)とを内容積5.4Lのオートクレーブ(日東高圧製)に仕込んだ。次に、オートクレーブ内の液温(内温)が50℃になるまで加温した。その後、オートクレーブ内を窒素置換した。オートクレーブの槽内の圧力が、ゲージ圧として、約2.5kg/cm2になるまで加熱を続けた(このとき液温は約145℃であった)。槽内の圧力を約2.5kg/cm2に保つため水を系外に除去しながら、加熱を続けて、槽内の水溶液の溶質濃度が約75質量%になるまで濃縮した。水の除去を止め、槽内の圧力が約30kg/cm2になるまで加熱を続けた。その後、槽内の圧力を約30Kg/cm2に保つため水を系外に除去しながら、最終温度(約340℃)より50℃低い温度(約290℃)になるまで加熱を続けた。さらに加熱を続けながら、槽内の圧力を90分間かけて大気圧(ゲージ圧は0Kg/cm2)になるまで降圧した。降圧中、槽内の樹脂温度(液温)の最終温度が約340℃になるようにヒーター温度を調整した。槽内の樹脂温度を維持し、槽内を真空装置で400torrの減圧下に30分維持した。その後、槽内を窒素で加圧し、下部紡口(ノズル)から生成物をストランド状にして排出した。さらにストランド状の生成物を、水冷、カッティングを行いペレット状のポリアミド(A)(以下、「PA-2」ともいう。)を得た。
