- the elongation at break was determined in accordance with the ASTM D638 standard.
- Radiocarbon 14 is generated at a certain speed by cosmic rays in the atmosphere and disappears at a certain speed (half-life: 5370 years), so there is a certain amount in nature.
- a plant that absorbs carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contains a certain amount of the C14. When it does not cause carbonation assimilation, such as felling, it disappears at a certain speed. Therefore, the radiocarbon dating method is established by using this property. Since fossil fuels were not affected by cosmic rays for a long time, C14 disappeared. On the other hand, since the bio-derived chemical has only passed a short time after the supply of C14 is stopped, it can be said that the content of C14 is a substantially constant value.

Abstract
本发明涉及聚碳酸酯树脂组合物、其制造方法、成形体。该聚碳酸酯树脂组合物含有特定的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)和芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂(B),具有优异的透明性,并且高度均衡地兼备生物质含有率、耐热性及机械强度。
Description
本发明涉及一种透明性优异、生物质含有率、耐热性及机械强度可获得平衡的聚碳酸酯树脂组合物。
含双酚A等化学结构的现有的芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂可使用由石油资源衍生的原料制造,但是,近年来由于担心石油资源枯竭,要求提供以植物等生物质资源为原料的聚碳酸酯树脂。另外,由于担心二氧化碳过量排放导致地球变暖会带来气候变化等问题,也要求开发废弃处理也呈碳中性的以植物来源单体为原料的聚碳酸酯树脂。
在这种情况下,已经有文献提出源自生物质资源二羟基化合物即异山梨醇(ISB)为单体成分,通过与碳酸二酯的酯交换反应,在减压条件下一边蒸馏除去副反应产生的单羟基化合物,一边得到聚碳酸酯树脂的制造方法(例如参照专利文献1~7)。
可是,ISB这样的二羟基化合物存在以下问题:与现有的芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂中所使用的双酚化合物相比,热稳定性低、在高温下进行的缩聚反应、成形、加工时因热分解导致树脂变黄。虽然专利文献3~6中所记载的ISB和双酚化合物的共聚物具有较高的玻璃化转变温度,但是ISB反应活性与双酚化合物的反应活性存在不同,双酚化合物更易成为共聚物端基。此时,若考虑色调、ISB的热稳定性而选择低于芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂的聚合温度下实施聚合反应,那么这种双酚化合物有时可成为一种封端基,无法充分提高聚合度,产物缺乏冲击韧性,这种情况在双酚化合物共聚量超过20摩尔%时较为显著。
进而,专利文献7公开了一种含有源自ISB结构单元、源自脂肪族二羟基化合物结构单元及源自芳香族双酚化合物结构单元的聚碳酸酯共聚物,但该聚碳酸酯共聚物虽然耐热性、成形性及机械强度优异,但由于含有源自双酚化合物的结构单元,因此,有时聚合度也未充分上升,成为缺乏冲击韧性的聚合物。另外,生物质含有率低,从环境保护方面考虑也不优选。
包含源自生物质二羟基化合物即异山梨醇(ISB)等二羟基化合物的聚碳酸酯树脂虽然玻璃化温度高且耐热性优异,但存在以下缺点:除分子链刚直以外,熔融聚合时粘度高,无法得到高分子量产物,因此,缺乏冲击韧性。为了改善韧性,有人尝试将脂肪族二羟基化合物或芳香族双酚化合物共聚。
具体而言,专利文献8公开了一种聚碳酸酯树脂组合物,其中包含由ISB和脂肪族
烃的二羟基化合物两种结构单元构成的聚碳酸酯和芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂,前一种聚碳酸酯中源自脂肪族烃的二羟基化合物的结构单元含量为45摩尔%以上。另外,在专利文献9中公开了一种聚碳酸酯树脂组合物,其在芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂中混合了含ISB和脂肪族烃的二羟基化合物结构单元的聚碳酸酯树脂,由此铅笔硬度优异。

发明内容
发明所要解决的课题
然而,存在以下问题:含脂肪族二羟基化合物共聚物的耐热性不足,含芳香族双酚化合物共聚物的耐热性虽高,但从反应活性方面考虑,无法得到足够分子量的聚碳酸酯树脂。因此,如专利文献8所述包含45摩尔%以上脂肪族二羟基化合物的ISB共聚聚碳酸酯树脂和芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂的树脂组合物虽然透明性、色相、热稳定性、成形性及机械强度优异,但如若为进一步提高耐热性将组合物的玻璃化转变温度提高到120℃以上,则需要将芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂的含有率提高至50重量%以上。这必然降低生物质含有率,因此,从环境方面考虑不优选。另外,如专利文献9所述在芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂中混合包含ISB和脂肪族烃的二羟基化合物两种结构单元的聚碳酸酯树脂,该聚碳酸酯树脂组合物实质上存在全光透射率低于20%、透明性差问题。
本发明是鉴于这种背景而完成的,提供一种透明性优异,并且以高水平均衡地兼备生物质含有率、耐热性、机械强度的聚碳酸酯树脂组合物、其制造方法、及聚碳酸酯树脂组合物的成形体。

上述通式(1)所示的二羟基化合物中,从获得和制造的容易性、耐气候性、光学特性、成形性、耐热性及碳中性的方面考虑,最优选为植物来的丰富且易从各种淀粉转化的山梨糖醇进行脱水缩合而得到异山梨醇(ISB)。
需要说明的是,上述通式(1)所示的二羟基化合物容易被氧慢慢地氧化。因此,在保存或使用时,为了防止氧化分解,优选不混入水分并且使用脱氧剂或在氮气气氛下进行。
另外,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)优选为含有源自通式(1)所示的二羟基化合物的结构单元(a),
与脂肪族烃的二羟基化合物、脂环式烃的二羟基化合物、或含有醚键的二羟基化合物中选取1种以上二羟基化合物的结构单元(简称“结构单元(b)”)的共聚聚碳酸酯树脂。这些二羟基化合物由于具有柔软的分子结构,因此,通过使用这些二羟基化合物作为原料,可提高聚碳酸酯树脂的冲击韧性。这些二羟基化合物中,优选使用使韧性提高效果较大的脂肪族烃的二羟基化合物、脂环式烃的二羟基化合物,最优选使用脂环式烃的二羟基化合物。作为脂肪族烃的二羟基化合物、脂环式烃的二羟基化合物、及含有醚键的二羟基化合物的具体例如下所述。
选用脂肪族烃的二羟基化合物包括:乙二醇、1,3-丙二醇、1,2-丙二醇、1,4-丁二醇、1,5-庚二醇、1,6-己二醇、1,9-壬二醇、1,10-癸二醇1,12-十二烷二醇等直链状脂肪族二羟基化合物;1,3-丁二醇、1,2-丁二醇、新戊二醇、己二醇等具有支链的脂肪族二羟基化合物。

另外,上述聚碳酸酯树脂(A)可以进一步含有上述结构单元(a)及上述结构单元(b)以外的结构单元。作为这样的结构单元(二羟基化合物),例如可以采用具有芳香族基团的二羟基化合物等。但是,在上述聚碳酸酯树脂(A)中含有源自含有芳香族基团的二羟基化合物的结构单元的情况下,由于前述理由,有可能无法得到高分子量的聚碳酸酯树脂,缺乏冲击韧性。因此,相对于源自全部二羟基化合物的结构单元100摩尔%,源自含有芳香族基团的二羟基化合物的结构单元的含有比例优选为10摩尔%以下,更优选为5摩尔%以下。

用作聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的原料的二羟基化合物可以含有还原剂、抗氧化剂、脱氧剂、光稳定剂、抗酸剂、pH稳定剂及热稳定剂等稳定剂。特别是上述式(1)所示的二羟基化合物具有在酸性状态下容易变质的性质,因此,通过在聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的合成过程中使用碱性稳定剂,可抑制上述式(1)所示的二羟基化合物的变质,进而可进一步提高得到的聚碳酸酯树脂组合物的品质。
作为碱性稳定剂,例如可以采用以下的化合物。长周期型周期表(Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry IUPAC Recommendations2005)中的IA族或IIA族金属的氢氧化物、碳酸盐、磷酸盐、亚磷酸盐、次磷酸盐、硼酸盐及脂肪酸盐;四甲基氢氧化铵、四乙基氢氧化铵、四丙基氢氧化铵、四丁基氢氧化铵、三甲基乙基氢氧化铵、三甲基苄基氢氧化铵、三甲基苯基氢氧化铵、三乙基甲基氢氧化铵、三乙基苄基氢氧化铵、三乙基苯基氢氧化铵、三丁基苄基氢氧化铵、三丁基苯基氢氧化铵、四苯基氢氧化铵、苄基三苯基氢氧化铵、甲基三苯基氢氧化铵及丁基三苯基氢氧化铵等碱性铵化合物;二乙胺、二丁胺、三乙胺、吗啉、N-甲基吗啉、吡咯烷、哌啶、3-氨基-1-丙醇、乙二胺、N-甲基二乙醇胺、二乙基乙醇胺、二乙醇胺、三乙醇胺、4-氨基吡啶、2-氨基吡啶、N,N-二甲基-4-氨基吡啶、4-二乙基氨基吡啶、2-羟基吡啶、2-甲氧基吡啶、4-甲氧基吡啶、2-二甲氨基咪唑、2-甲氧基咪唑、咪唑、2-巯基咪唑、2-甲基咪唑及氨基喹啉等胺系化合物以及二(叔丁基)胺及2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶等受阻胺系化合物。
上述二羟基化合物中的上述碱性稳定剂的含量没有特别限定,由于上述式(1)所示的二羟基化合物在酸性状态下不稳定,因此,优选设定碱性稳定剂的含量以使含有碱性稳定剂的二羟基化合物的水溶液的pH为7左右。
若碱性稳定剂的量过少,则有可能无法得到防止上述式(1)所示的二羟基化合物变质的效果。另一方面,若碱性稳定剂的量过多,则有时由于碱性稳定剂的原因而招致上述二羟基化合物的改性。为了避免这种问题,优选使碱性稳定剂相对于上述式(1)所示的二羟基化合物的含量为0.0001~1质量%,更优选为0.001~0.1质量%。
作为用于上述聚碳酸酯树脂[A]的原料的碳酸二酯,通常可采用下述通式(9)所示的化合物。这些碳酸二酯可单独使用1种,也可以并用2种以上。
[化学式8]
在上述通式(9)中,A1及A2分别为取代或者非取代的碳原子数1~18的脂肪族烃基或取代或者非取代的芳香族烃基,A1和A2可以相同也可以不同。作为A1及A2,优选采用取代或者非取代的芳香族烃基,更优选采用非取代的芳香族烃基。
作为上述通式(9)所示的碳酸二酯,例如可以采用碳酸二苯酯(DPC)及碳酸二甲苯酯等取代碳酸二苯酯、碳酸二甲酯、碳酸二乙酯以及碳酸二叔丁酯等。这些碳酸二酯中,优选使用碳酸二苯酯或取代碳酸二苯酯,特别优选使用碳酸二苯酯。另外,碳酸二酯有时含有氯化物离子等杂质,杂质有时阻碍缩聚反应或使得到的聚碳酸酯树脂的色调变差,因此,因此根据需要优选使用利用蒸馏等进行了精制的碳酸二酯。
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)可通过利用酯交换反应使上述的二羟基化合物和碳酸二酯缩聚来合成。更详细而言,可通过在缩聚的同时将酯交换反应中副反应产生的单羟基化合物等去除到体系外而得到。
上述酯交换反应在酯交换反应催化剂(以下,将酯交换反应催化剂称为“聚合催化剂”。)的存在下进行。聚合催化剂的种类可对酯交换反应的反应速度及得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的品质造成非常大的影响。
作为聚合催化剂,只要可满足得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的透明性、色调、耐热性、耐气候性及机械强度就没有限定。作为聚合催化剂,例如可使用长周期型周期表中的IA族或IIA族(以下,记为“IA族”、“IIA族”。)的金属化合物、以及碱性硼化合物、碱性磷化合物、碱性铵化合物及胺系化合物等碱性化合物,其中,优选IA族金属化合物及/或IIA族金属化合物。
作为上述IA族金属化合物,例如可以采用以下的化合物。氢氧化钠、氢氧化钾、氢氧化锂、氢氧化铯、碳酸氢钠、碳酸氢钾、碳酸氢锂、碳酸氢铯、碳酸钠、碳酸钾、碳酸锂、碳酸铯、乙酸钠、乙酸钾、乙酸锂、乙酸铯、硬脂酸钠、硬脂酸钾、硬脂酸锂、硬脂酸铯、硼氢化钠、硼氢化钾、硼氢化锂、硼氢化铯、苯基化硼钠、苯基化硼钾、苯基化硼锂、苯基化硼铯、苯甲酸钠、苯甲酸钾、苯甲酸锂、苯甲酸铯、磷酸氢二钠、磷酸氢二钾、磷酸氢二锂、磷酸氢二铯、苯基磷酸二钠、苯基磷酸二钾、苯基磷酸二锂、苯基磷酸二铯;钠、钾、锂、铯的醇盐、酚盐;双酚A的二钠盐、二钾盐、二锂盐和二铯盐等。
作为IA族金属化合物,从聚合活性和得到的聚碳酸酯树脂的色调的观点考虑,优选锂化合物。
作为上述IIA族金属化合物,例如可以采用以下的化合物。氢氧化钙、氢氧化钡、氢氧化镁、氢氧化锶、碳酸氢钙、碳酸氢钡、碳酸氢镁、碳酸氢锶、碳酸钙、碳酸钡、碳酸镁、碳酸锶、乙酸钙、乙酸钡、乙酸镁、乙酸锶、硬脂酸钙、硬脂酸钡、硬脂酸镁及硬脂酸锶等。
作为IIA族金属化合物,优选镁化合物、钙化合物或钡化合物,从聚合活性和得到的聚碳酸酯树脂的色调的观点考虑,进一步优选镁化合物及/或钙化合物,最优选钙化合物。
另外,也可以与上述IA族金属化合物及/或IIA族金属化合物一同辅助性地并用碱性硼化合物、碱性磷化合物、碱性铵化合物及胺系化合物等碱性化合物,特别优选仅使用IA族金属化合物及/或IIA族金属化合物。
作为上述碱性磷化合物,例如可以采用以下的化合物。三乙基膦、三正丙基膦、三异丙基膦、三正丁基膦、三苯基膦、三丁基膦和季鏻盐等。
作为上述碱性铵化合物,例如可以采用以下的化合物。四甲基氢氧化铵、四乙基氢氧化铵、四丙基氢氧化铵、四丁基氢氧化铵、三甲基乙基氢氧化铵、三甲基苄基氢氧化铵、三甲基苯基氢氧化铵、三乙基甲基氢氧化铵、三乙基苄基氢氧化铵、三乙基苯基氢氧化铵、三丁基苄基氢氧化铵、三丁基苯基氢氧化铵、四苯基氢氧化铵、苄基三苯基氢氧化铵、甲基三苯基氢氧化铵及丁基三苯基氢氧化铵等。
作为上述胺系化合物,例如可以采用以下的化合物。4-氨基吡啶、2-氨基吡啶、N,N-二甲基-4-氨基吡啶、4-二乙基氨基吡啶、2-羟基吡啶、2-甲氧基吡啶、4-甲氧基吡啶、2-二甲氨基咪唑、2-甲氧基咪唑、咪唑、2-巯基咪唑、2-甲基咪唑、氨基喹啉及胍等。
上述聚合催化剂的使用量优选每1mol用于反应的全部二羟基化合物为0.1~300μmol,更优选为0.5~100μmol,特别优选为1~50μmol。
作为聚合催化剂,在使用含有选自由长周期型周期表中的IIA族金属及锂构成的组中的至少1种金属的化合物的情况下,特别是在使用镁化合物及/或钙化合物的情况下,聚合催化剂的使用量以含有该金属的化合物的金属原子量计,优选每1mol用于反应的全部二羟基化合物为0.1μmol以上,更优选0.3μmol以上,特别优选0.5μmol以上。另外,作为上限,优选10μmol以下,更优选5μmol以下,特别优选3μmol以下。
若聚合催化剂的使用量过少,则聚合速度变慢,因此,要想得到期望的分子量的聚碳酸酯树脂,不得不相应地提高聚合温度。因此,得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的色调变差的有可能变高,或未反应的原料在聚合途中挥发而导致二羟基化合物和碳酸二酯的摩尔比率被破坏,有可能无法达到期望的分子量。另一方面,若聚合催化剂的使用量过多,则有可
能并发不优选的副反应,招致得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的色调恶化或成形加工时的树脂着色。
另外,IA族金属中,若钠、钾或铯大量含于聚碳酸酯树脂中,则有可能对色调造成不良影响。另外,若铁大量含于聚碳酸酯树脂中,则也同样有可能对色调造成不良影响。而且,这些金属不仅会来自使用的催化剂、而且还会从原料或反应装置中混入。不论出处,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)中的这些金属的化合物的合计量优选以钠、钾、铯及铁的合计含量计为1质量ppm以下,进一步优选为0.5质量ppm以下。
(聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的合成)
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)可通过在聚合催化剂的存在下,通过酯交换反应使上述式(1)所示的二羟基化合物等用作原料的二羟基化合物和碳酸二酯缩聚而得到。
作为原料的二羟基化合物和碳酸二酯优选在酯交换反应前均匀地混合。混合的温度通常为80℃以上,优选为90℃以上,且通常为250℃以下,优选为200℃以下,进一步优选为150℃以下的范围,其中,优选100℃以上且120℃以下。若混合的温度过低,则有可能溶解速度慢或溶解度不足,常常会招致固化等不良情况。另一方面,若混合的温度过高,则有时招致二羟基化合物的热劣化,结果有可能使得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的色调变差,或对耐气候性造成不良影响。
从抑制色调恶化及反应活性降低的观点考虑,混合原料的二羟基化合物和碳酸二酯的操作优选在氧浓度10vol%以下、进而0.0001~10vol%、尤其是0.0001~5vol%、特别是0.0001~1vol%的气氛下进行。
为了得到聚碳酸酯树脂(A),相对于用于反应的全部二羟基化合物,优选以0.90~1.20的摩尔比率使用碳酸二酯,更优选以0.95~1.10的摩尔比率使用碳酸二酯。若该摩尔比率变小,则有可能所制造的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的羟基末端量增加,从而聚合物的热稳定性变差,在成形时导致着色,或酯交换反应的速度降低、或无法得到期望的高分子量体。
另外,若该摩尔比率变大,则有时酯交换反应的速度降低,或难以制造期望的分子量的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)。酯交换反应速度的降低导致反应受热过程增加,因此有可能使得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的色调、耐气候性变差。进而,若碳酸二酯相对于全部二羟基化合物的摩尔比率增大,则有时聚碳酸酯树脂(A)中的残存碳酸二酯量增加,招致成形时的污染或臭味的问题,不优选。
使二羟基化合物和碳酸二酯缩聚的方法在上述催化剂存在下使用多个反应器以多阶段实施。反应的形式可以为分批式或连续式、或者分批式和连续式的组合方法,优选采用能够以更少的受热过程得到聚碳酸酯树脂,且生产效率也以连续式为优。
从聚合速度的控制及得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的品质的观点考虑,重要的是根据反应阶段适当地选择夹套温度和内温、反应体系内的压力。具体而言,优选在缩聚反应的反应初期在相对低温、低真空下得到预聚物,在反应后期在相对高温、高真空使分子量上升至规定的值。例如,若在缩聚反应的进度达到规定的值之前温度、压力的任一方变化过快,则招致未反应的单体馏出,有可能使二羟基化合物和碳酸二酯的摩尔比率偏离期望的比率。其结果,有可能招致聚合速度的降低或无法得到具有期望的分子量或末端基团的聚合物。
另外,缩聚反应中的聚合速度由羟基末端和碳酸酯基末端的平衡控制。因此,若末端基团的平衡因未反应单体的馏出而发生变动,则有可能难以将聚合速度控制为一定或得到的树脂的分子量的变动变大。树脂的分子量由于与熔融粘度相关,因此,在熔融加工时,有时因熔融粘度发生变动,难以维持成形品的品质。这种问题在以连续式进行缩聚反应时特别容易产生。
为了抑制馏出的未反应单体的量,有效的办法是在聚合反应器中使用回流冷凝器,特别是在未反应单体多的反应初期显示较高的效果。导入至回流冷凝器的制冷剂的温度可以根据使用的单体适宜选择,通常导入至回流冷凝器的制冷剂的温度在该回流冷凝器的入口为45~180℃、优选为80~150℃,特别优选为100~130℃。若制冷剂的温度过高,则回流量减少,其效果降低,相反若该温度过低,则有时本来应该蒸馏除去的单羟基化合物的蒸馏除去效率降低,招致反应率的降低及得到的树脂的着色。作为制冷剂,可使用温水、蒸气、热介质油等,优选蒸气、热介质油。
为了在将聚合速度维持在适当速度、抑制单体的馏出的同时,不损害得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的色调,重要的是上述的聚合催化剂的种类和量的选定。
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)使用聚合催化剂并通常经过2阶段以上的工序来制造。缩聚反应可以使用1个缩聚反应器并依次改变条件以2阶段以上的工序进行,但从生产效率的观点考虑,优选使用多个反应器并改变各自的条件以多阶段进行。
从高效地进行缩聚反应的观点考虑,重要的是在反应液中所含的单体多的反应初期一边维持必要的聚合速度一边抑制单体的挥发。另外,在反应后期,重要的是通过充分蒸馏除去副反应产生的单羟基化合物使平衡向缩聚反应侧移动。因此,在反应初期优选的反应条件和在反应后期优选的反应条件通常不同。因此,通过使用串联配置的多个反应器,可容易地变更各自的条件,提高生产效率。
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的制造中所使用的聚合反应器如上所述只要为至少2个以上即可,但从生产效率等观点考虑为3个以上,优选为3~5个,特别优选为4个。若聚合反应器为
2个以上,则在各聚合反应器中可以进一步进行多个条件不同的反应阶段或连续地改变温度、压力。
聚合催化剂可以添加于原料制备槽或原料贮槽,也可以直接添加于聚合反应器。从供给的稳定性、缩聚反应的控制的观点考虑,优选在供给至聚合反应器之前的原料管线的中途设置催化剂供给管线并以水溶液供给聚合催化剂。
若缩聚反应的温度过低,则招致生产率的降低或施加于制品的受热过程增大,若该温度过高,则不仅招致单体的挥发,而且有可能助长聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的分解或着色。具体而言,作为第1段反应中的反应条件,可以采用以下的条件。即,聚合反应器的内温的最高温度通常在150~250℃、优选在160~240℃、进一步优选在170~230℃的范围设定。另外,聚合反应器的压力(以下,压力表示绝对压力)通常在1~110kPa、优选在5~70kPa,进一步优选在7~30kPa的范围设定。另外,反应时间通常在0.1~10小时、优选在0.5~3小时的范围设定。第1段反应一边将产生的单羟基化合物蒸馏去除至反应体系外一边实施。
第2段以后,将反应体系的压力从第1段的压力慢慢地降低,一边持续将产生的单羟基化合物去除到反应体系外一边使最终反应体系的压力(绝对压力)为1kPa以下。另外,聚合反应器的内温的最高温度通常在200~260℃、优选在210~250℃的范围设定。另外,反应时间通常在0.1~10小时、优选在0.3~6小时、特别优选在0.5~3小时的范围设定。
若过度提高聚合温度、延长聚合时间,则存在得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的色调变差的倾向。特别是为了抑制聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的着色或热劣化、得到色调良好的聚碳酸酯树脂(A),优选将全部反应阶段中的聚合反应器的内温的最高温度设为210~240℃。为了抑制反应后半段的聚合速度的降低,将受热过程所致的劣化控制在最小限度,优选在缩聚反应的最终阶段使用在栓塞流性和界面更新性优异的卧式反应器。
在连续聚合中,为了将最终得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的分子量控制为一定水准,有必要根据需要调节聚合速度。此时,调整最终阶段的聚合反应器的压力为操作性良好的方法。
另外,如上所述由于聚合速度因羟基末端和碳酸酯基末端的比率发生变化,因此,可以有意地减少一方的末端基团,抑制聚合速度,相应地将最终阶段的聚合反应器的压力保持为高真空,由此可减少以单羟基化合物为代表的树脂中的残存低分子成分。但是,此时,若一方的末端过少,则仅由于末端基团平衡稍微变动,反应性会极端降低,得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的分子量有可能无法满足期望的分子量。为了避免这种问题,最终阶段的聚合反应器中得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)优选羟基末端和碳酸酯基末端均含有10mol/ton以上。另一方面,若两方的末端基团过多,则聚合速度变快,分子量变动过高,因此,一方
的末端基团优选为60mol/ton以下。
通过如上将末端基的量和最终阶段的聚合反应器的压力调整为优选的范围,可在聚合反应器的出口减少树脂中的单羟基化合物的残存量。聚合反应器的出口中的树脂中的单羟基化合物的残存量优选为2000质量ppm以下,更优选为1500质量ppm以下,进一步优选为1000质量ppm以下。通过如上减少聚合反应器的出口中的单羟基化合物的含量,可在之后工序中容易地进行单羟基化合物等的脱挥。
单羟基化合物的残存量优选较少,但若减少至低于100质量ppm,则需要采用极端地减少一方的末端基团的量,且将聚合反应器的压力保持为高真空这样的运行条件。此时,如上所述,难以将得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的分子量保持为一定水准,因此,通常为100质量ppm以上,优选为150质量ppm以上。
从资源有效利用的观点考虑,副反应产生的单羟基化合物优选在根据需要进行精制后作为其它化合物的原料进行再利用。例如在单羟基化合物为苯酚的情况下,可用作碳酸二苯酯或双酚A等的原料。
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的玻璃化转变温度优选90℃以上。玻璃化转变温度低于90℃时,树脂组合物,有可能难以取得耐热性和生物质含有率的平衡。从进一步提高耐热性和生物质含有率的平衡的观点考虑,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的玻璃化温度更优选100℃以上,进一步优选110℃以上,特别优选120℃以上。另一方面,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的玻璃化转变温度优选170℃以下。在玻璃化温度超过170℃的情况下,聚合过程的熔融粘度变高,难以得到足够分子量的聚合物。另外,通过提高聚合温度来降低熔融粘度、提高分子量方法因构成结构单元(a)的耐热性不足,有可能容易着色。从提高分子量和防止着色的均衡性观点考虑,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的玻璃化转变温度更优选165℃以下,进一步优选160℃以下,特别优选150℃以下。
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的分子量可以以还原粘度表示,还原粘度越高,表示分子量越大。若聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的还原粘度过低,则成形品的机械强度有可能变低。因此,还原粘度通常为0.30dL/g以上,优选为0.33dL/g以上。另一方面,若还原粘度过大,则存在成形时流动性降低、生产率或加工性能降低的倾向。因此,还原粘度通常为1.20dL/g以下,优选为1.00dL/g以下,进一步优选为0.80dL/g以下。另外,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的还原粘度使用以二氯甲烷作为溶剂将树脂组合物的浓度精密地调整为0.6g/dL的溶液,利用乌伯娄德粘度管在温度20.0℃±0.1℃的条件下测得的值。对于还原粘度的测定方法的详细情况在实施例中进行说明。
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的熔融粘度优选400Pa·s以上且3000Pa·s以下,进一步优选600Pa·
s以上且2500Pa·s以下,特别优选800Pa·s以上且2000Pa·s以下。若聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的熔融粘度低于上述范围,则有可能树脂组合物的成形品变脆,无法成为具有充分的机械物性的材料。另一方面,若熔融粘度高于上述范围,则有可能在成形加工时流动不足而损害成形品的外观,或尺寸精度变差。另外,存在因剪切发热使树脂温度上升而产生着色或发泡的担心。另外,在本说明书中,所谓熔融粘度是指使用毛细管流变仪[东洋精机(株)制]测得的温度240℃、剪切速度91.2sec-1下的熔融粘度。对于熔融粘度的测定方法的详细情况在后述的实施例中进行说明。
聚碳酸酯树脂(A)优选含有催化剂失活剂。作为催化剂失活剂,只要为酸性物质且具有聚合催化剂的失活功能就没有特别限定,例如可以举出:磷酸、磷酸三甲酯、磷酸三乙酯、亚磷酸、辛基磺酸四丁基锍盐、苯磺酸四甲基锍盐、苯磺酸四丁基锍盐、十二烷基苯磺酸四丁基锍盐、对甲苯磺酸四丁基锍盐这样的锍盐;癸基磺酸四甲基铵盐、十二烷基苯磺酸四丁基铵盐这样的铵盐;及苯磺酸甲酯、苯磺酸丁酯、对甲苯磺酸甲酯、对甲苯磺酸丁酯、十六烷基磺酸乙酯这样的烷基酯等。
上述催化剂失活剂优选包含含有下述结构式(10)或下述结构式(11)所示的部分结构中的任一者的磷系化合物(以下,称为“特定磷系化合物”。)。上述特定磷系化合物在缩聚反应结束后,即例如在混炼工序或颗粒化工序等时添加,由此使后述的聚合催化剂失活,可抑制其以后缩聚反应不必要地进行。其结果,可抑制在成形工序等中加热聚碳酸酯树脂(A)时的缩聚的进行,进而可抑制上述单羟基化合物的脱离。另外,通过使聚合催化剂失活,可抑制高温下的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的着色。
[化学式9]
[化学式10]
作为含有上述结构式(10)或结构式(11)所示的部分结构的特定磷系化合物,可以采用磷酸、亚磷酸、膦酸、次磷酸、聚磷酸、膦酸酯、酸性磷酸酯等。特定磷系化合物中,催化剂失活和着色抑制的效果进一步优异的是亚磷酸、膦酸、膦酸酯,特别优选亚磷酸。

[其它的添加剂]

“抗氧剂”
作为抗氧化剂,可使用树脂中所使用的一般的抗氧剂,但从氧化稳定性、热稳定性的观点考虑,优选亚磷酸酯系抗氧化剂、硫系抗氧化剂及酚系抗氧化剂。在此,抗氧化剂的添加量相对于聚碳酸酯树脂(A)及芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂(B)的合计100重量份,通常优选0.001重量份以上,更优选0.002重量份以上,进一步优选0.005重量份以上。另外,抗氧化剂的添加量相对于上述合计100重量份,通常优选5重量份以下,更优选3重量份以下,进一步优选2重量份以下。若上述抗氧化剂的添加量多于5重量份,则有时在成形时污染模具,无法得到优异的表面外观的成形品。若低于0.001重量份,则存在无法得到相对于成形稳定性的充分的改良效果的倾向。

[实施例]
以下,通过实施例进一步详细地说明本发明,但只要不超出其要点,本发明并不限于以下的实施例。
[评价方法]
以下,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)、芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂(B)及树脂组合物的物性或特性的评价通过以下方法进行。
(1)还原粘度的测定
使聚碳酸酯树脂(A)或芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂(B)的样品溶解于二氯甲烷,制备0.6g/dL浓度的聚碳酸酯树脂溶液。使用森友理化工业公司制乌伯娄德型粘度管在温度20.0℃±0.1℃的条件下测定溶剂的通过时间t0和溶液的通过时间t,基于下式(i)算出相对粘度ηrel。接着,由相对粘度ηrel基于下式(ii)求得比粘度ηsp。
ηrel=t/t0···(i)
ηsp=ηrel-1···(ii)
将得到的比粘度ηsp除以溶液的浓度c(g/dL),由此求得还原粘度(ηsp/c)。该还原粘度的值越高,意味着分子量越大。
(2)玻璃化转变温度(Tg)的测定
使用差示扫描热量计(DSC:Modulate DSC 2910,TA America)在氮气氛下以升温速度10℃/min测定玻璃化转变温度。将具有单一转变温度的情况设为○、有2个及2个以上转变温度的情况设为×,分别记载全部玻璃化转变温度。
(3)全光透过率的测定
依据GB2410-80标准,使用后述的厚度1mmt的热压片材并使用雾度计(上海申光株式会社制、WGW)以标准C光源测定全光透过率。通过目视,明显不透明的情况记载为不透明。
(4)断裂伸长率
依据ASTM D638标准测定断裂伸长率。
(5)生物质含有率的算出
放射性碳14(C14)在大气中通过宇宙射线以一定速度生成且以一定速度消失(半衰期:5370年),因此在自然界存在一定量。吸收大气中的二氧化碳的植物含有一定量的该C14,因砍伐等不产生碳酸同化作用时,以一定速度消失,因此利用该性质建立放射性碳年代测定法。化石燃料由于未长时间受到宇宙射线的影响,因此,C14全部消失。另一方面,由于生物来源的化学品在停止C14供给后仅经过短时间,因此,可以说C14的含量为大致一定的值。
还使用上述方法具体说明生物质含量的算出方法。
首先,ISB-PC的ISB碳酸酯结构单元由6个生物来源的ISB的碳和1个化石燃料的DPC来源的碳构成,因此,ISB-PC的生物质含有率为生物来源的碳原子数:6/总碳原子数:7=85.7%。在此,由于聚合物链足够长,因此,末端的影响可以忽视。另外,如后述的制造例1所述在共聚聚碳酸酯树脂的情况下,由于CHDM为源自化石燃料的原料,因此,CHDM-PC的生物质含量为生物来源的碳原子数:0/总碳原子数:9=0%。在制造例1的ISB/CHDM=70/30mol%的情况下,由于仅ISB-PC成分为生物来源,因此,其生物质含有率为85.7%×70mol%=60%。
接着,如实施例所述,聚碳酸酯树脂(A)和芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂(B)共混时的生物质含有率由于芳香族聚碳酸酯树脂(B)为通过源自化石燃料的原料制造的聚合物,因此,其生物质含有率为0%。实施例由于以重量比共混,因此,计算各自的聚碳酸酯树脂的摩尔质量(单位:g/mol),分别用重量除以摩尔质量,由此转换成摩尔分率。然后,通过上述聚碳酸酯树脂(A)的生物质含量和其摩尔分率的积计算共混的生物质含量。另外,关于生物质的算出,仅由树脂成分算出,对于化合物(C)、热稳定剂、脱模剂等成分未作考虑。

使用由立式搅拌反应器3台和卧式搅拌反应器1台以及双轴挤出机构成的连续聚合设备进行聚碳酸酯树脂的聚合。具体而言,首先使ISB、CHDM、及DPC分别在罐中熔融,将ISB以35.2kg/hr、CHDM以14.9kg/hr、DPC以74.5kg/hr(以摩尔比计为ISB/CHDM/DPC=0.700/0.300/1.010)的流量连续地供给于第1立式搅拌反应器。同时,将作为催化剂的乙酸钙一水合物的水溶液供给于第1立式搅拌反应器,使其相对于全部二羟基化合物1mol为1.5μmol。各反应器的反应温度、内压、滞留时间分别设为第1立式搅拌反应器:190℃、25kPa、90分钟,第2立式搅拌反应器:195℃、10kPa、45分钟,第3立式搅拌反应器:210℃、3kPa、45分钟,第4卧式搅拌反应器:225℃、0.5kPa、90分钟。一边微调节第4卧式搅拌反应器的内压一边运行,以使得到的聚碳酸酯树脂的还原粘度为0.41dL/g~0.43dL/g。
以60kg/hr的量从第4卧式搅拌反应器抽出聚碳酸酯树脂,接下来将树脂在熔融状态下直接供给于排气型双轴挤出机[(株)日本制钢所制TEX30α、L/D:42]。将通过了挤出机的聚碳酸酯树脂继续在熔融状态下直接通过网眼10μm的蜡烛型过滤器(SUS316制),过滤异物。然后,使聚碳酸酯树脂从模具中条状地排出,水冷使其固化后,使用旋转式刀具进行颗粒化,得到ISB/CHDM的摩尔比为70/30mol%的共聚聚碳酸酯树脂的颗粒。
上述挤出机具有3个真空排气口,在此将树脂中的残存低分子成分脱挥除去。在第2排气口的前面相对于树脂添加2000质量ppm的水,进行注水脱挥。在第3排气口的前面相对于聚碳酸酯树脂100质量份分别添加0.1质量份、0.05质量份、0.3质量份的Irganox1010、AS2112、E-275。通过以上操作,得到ISB/CHDM共聚物聚碳酸酯树脂。将制造例1中得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)称为“PC-A1”。

与聚合反应一起副反应产生的苯酚蒸气导入使用作为回流冷凝器的入口温度控制为100℃的蒸气作为制冷剂的回流冷凝器,使苯酚蒸气中含有若干量的单体成分回到聚合反应器中,未冷凝的苯酚蒸气接着导入使用45℃的温水作为制冷剂的冷凝器中回收。
使如上低聚物化的内容物暂时复压至大气压后,移至具备搅拌叶片及与上述同样地进行了控制的回流冷却器的另一聚合反应装置中,开始升温及减压,经60分钟使内温为210℃、压力为200Pa。然后,经20分钟使内温为220℃、压力为133Pa以下,在达到规定搅拌动力的时刻复压,从聚合反应装置出口经熔融状态的聚碳酸酯树脂利用造粒机进行颗粒化,得到颗粒。还原粘度为0.63dl/g。
如上操作得到ISB/CHDM的摩尔比为27/73mol%的聚碳酸酯树脂。将制造例3中得到的聚碳酸酯树脂(A)称为“PC-A3”。
