(B2):エチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)の密度が886~920kg/m3である。
〔プロピレン系重合体(A)〕
第1の実施形態のプロピレン系樹脂組成物(X)は、上記要件(A1)~(A5)を満たすプロピレン系重合体(A)を含む。なお、「要件(A1)~(A5)を満たすプロピレン系重合体(A)」を、「プロピレン系重合体(A)」とも記す。
プロピレン系重合体(A)のMFRが1~100g/10分であり、好ましくは10~100g/10分であり、より好ましくは20~100g/10分である。
プロピレン系重合体(A)のMFRが上記範囲を上回ると、プロピレン系樹脂組成物から得られた容器等の成形体の耐衝撃性が劣り、またプロピレン系重合体(A)のMFRが上記範囲を下回ると、プロピレン系樹脂組成物を用いて、容器等の成形体を製造する際の樹脂の流動性が劣り、薄肉化した成形体を製造することが困難となる。
プロピレン系重合体(A)の室温n-デカンに不溶な部分(Dinsol)88~96質量%であり、室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol)が4~12質量%である。ただし、DinsolとDsolとの合計を100質量%とする。好ましくはDinsolが88~94質量%であり、Dsolが6~12質量%である。
また、プロピレン系重合体中のDinsolおよびDsolの割合の調整は、後述する製造条件を調整することにより任意の量とすることができる。
前記Dinsol中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量が0.2~6質量%である。該含有量は0.4~5質量%であることが好ましく、0.6~4質量%であることがより好ましい。前記Dinsolは主にプロピレン由来の構成単位からなる成分であるが、エチレンに由来する骨格が含まれ得るものである。該含有量が上記範囲を超えるとプロピレン系樹脂組成物から得られた容器等の成形体の剛性が低下する傾向がある。これはDinsolの結晶性が低下するためであると考えられる。該含有量が上記範囲を下回ると、プロピレン系樹脂組成物から得られた容器等の成形体の透明性が低下する傾向にある。第1の実施形態のプロピレン系樹脂組成物(X)はDinsolを連続相、すなわち海部、Dsolおよびエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)を主に島部を構成するいわゆる海島構造をとる。そのため、海部を構成するDinsolの結晶性が高くなりすぎることで、島部を構成するDsolおよびエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)の相溶化効果が低下し、島部の分散粒径が大きくなるため透明性が低下するものと考えられる。
前記Dsol中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量が20~30質量%である。該含有量は20~26質量%であることが好ましく、20~24質量%であることがより好ましい。
該含有量が上記範囲を下回ると、プロピレン系樹脂組成物から得られた容器等の成形体の耐衝撃性(特に低温耐衝撃性)が劣る傾向がある。Dsolのエチレンの割合が減る事によりガラス転移温度が低下し、結晶化度が高くなり、衝撃に対しての吸収エネルギーが低下するためと考えられる。
前記Dinsol中およびDsol中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量は、分離した前記DinsolおよびDsolについてそれぞれ後述する実施例に記載される条件で13CNMR測定を行って求めることができる。詳細については実施例にて示す。
前記Dsolの、135℃デカリン中における極限粘度[ηsol]が1.0~2.5dl/gであり、好ましくは1.5~2.5dl/gであり、より好ましくは1.6~2.2dl/gである。
極限粘度[ηsol]が上記範囲を下回ると、プロピレン系樹脂組成物から得られた容器等の成形体の耐衝撃性が低下する傾向にある。これはDsolの分子量が低下し、衝撃吸収エネルギーが低くなる為と考えられる。また極限粘度[ηsol]が上記範囲を上回ると、プロピレン系樹脂組成物から得られた容器等の成形体の透明性が低下する傾向がある。これはDsolの分子量が高いため、分散不良を起こすためと考えられる。
なお、Dsolの、デカリン中135℃で測定した極限粘度[ηsol]の調整は、後述する製造条件を調整することにより任意の量とすることができる。
前記メタロセン化合物含有触媒としては、メタロセン化合物、並びに、有機金属化合物、有機アルミニウムオキシ化合物およびメタロセン化合物と反応してイオン対を形成することのできる化合物から選ばれる少なくとも1種以上の化合物、さらに必要に応じて粒子状担体とからなるメタロセン触媒を挙げることができ、好ましくはアイソタクチックまたはシンジオタクチック構造等の立体規則性重合をすることのできるメタロセン触媒を挙げることができる。前記メタロセン化合物の中では、国際公開01/27124号パンフレットに例示されている架橋性メタロセン化合物が好適に用いられる。
第1の実施形態に用いるプロピレン系重合体(A)は、高立体規則性チーグラーナッタ触媒を用いることにより製造することができる。前記高立体規則性チーグラーナッタ触媒としては、公知の種々の触媒が使用できる。たとえば、(a)マグネシウム、チタン、ハロゲンおよび電子供与体を含有する固体状チタン触媒成分と、(b)有機金属化合物触媒成分と、(c)シクロペンチル基、シクロペンテニル基、シクロペンタジエニル基およびこれらの誘導体からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種の基を有する有機ケイ素化合物触媒成分とからなる触媒を用いることができる。このような高立体規則性チーグラーナッタ触媒としては、EP0350170に記載のオレフィン重合用触媒を好適に用いることができる。当該チーグラーナッタ触媒を用い、プロピレン系重合体(A)を製造する際は、当該公報に記載されるように予備重合を行うことができる。
予備重合は、固体状チタン触媒成分(a)、有機金属化合物触媒成分(b)、および必要に応じて有機ケイ素化合物触媒成分(c)の存在下に、オレフィンを重合させる。
第1の実施形態に用いるプロピレン系重合体(A)は、前述のメタロセン化合物含有触媒存在下あるいは、チーグラーナッタ触媒存在下でプロピレンおよびエチレンを共重合することにより得られる。
第1の実施形態のプロピレン系樹脂組成物(X)は、上記要件(B1)~(B2)を満たすエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)を含む。なお、「要件(B1)~(B2)を満たすエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)」を、「エチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)」とも記す。
第1の実施形態に用いるエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)のメルトフローレート(MFR)(ASTM D-1238、測定温度190℃、荷重2.16kg)が0.5~50g/10分である。該MFRは、好ましくは1~10g/10分であり、より好ましくは2.0~5.0g/10分である。
第1の実施形態に用いるエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)の密度は、886~920kg/m3、好ましくは890~920kg/m3である。
具体的には、エチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体を重合する際の、エチレンとα-オレフィンのフィード量の比率を変える事により調整可能である。より具体的には、エチレンのフィード量に対してα-オレフィンのフィード量を多くする事により、密度を低くする事が可能であり、エチレンのフィード量に対してα-オレフィンのフィード量を少なくする事により、密度を高くする事が可能である。
MLx・・・(I)
(I)式中、Mは周期律表第IVB族から選ばれる遷移金属原子であり、具体的には、ジルコニウム、チタンまたはハフニウムであり、好ましくはジルコニウムである。
第1の実施形態のプロピレン系樹脂組成物(X)は造核剤(D)を含む。
第1の実施形態のプロピレン系樹脂組成物(X)に含まれる造核剤としては、特に限定はないが、ソルビトール系造核剤、リン系造核剤、カルボン酸金属塩系造核剤、ポリマー造核剤、無機化合物等を用いることができる。造核剤としては、ソルビトール系造核剤、リン系造核剤、ポリマー造核剤を用いることが好ましい。
ポリマー造核剤としては分岐状α-オレフィン重合体が好適に用いられる。分岐状α-オレフィン重合体の例として、3-メチル-1-ブテン、3-メチル-1-ペンテン、3-エチル-1-ペンテン、4-メチル-1-ペンテン、4-メチル-1-ヘキセン、4,4-ジメチル-1-ヘキセン、4,4-ジメチル-1-ペンテン、4-エチル-1-ヘキセン、3-エチル-1-ヘキセンの単独重合体、あるいはそれら相互の共重合体、さらにはそれらと他のα-オレフィンとの共重合体を挙げることができる。透明性、低温耐衝撃性、剛性の特性が良好であること、および経済性の観点から、特に、3-メチル-1-ブテンの重合体が好ましい。
無機化合物としては例えば、タルク、マイカ、炭酸カルシウムを用いることができる。
第1の実施形態に用いる造核剤としては、上記の通り、一部は市販品として容易に入手することができる。
またこれらの造核剤は一種単独でも、二種以上を用いてもよい。
また、造核剤の含量が、下記範囲より少ないと、剛性および透明性の改良効果が不十分であり、造核剤の含量が下記範囲より多いと、それ以上の改良効果は少なく、経済的でない。
第1の実施形態のプロピレン系樹脂組成物(X)は、前述のプロピレン系重合体(A)82~92質量部、エチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)8~18質量部および造核剤(D)0.1~0.6質量部を含み(ただし、プロピレン系重合体(A)およびエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)の合計を100質量部とする)、好ましくはプロピレン系重合体(A)84~90質量部、エチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)10~16質量部および造核剤0.15~0.4質量部である。
プロピレン系樹脂組成物(X)のメルトフローレート(MFR)(ASTM D-1238、測定温度230℃、荷重2.16kg)は、プロピレン系樹脂組成物に使用するプロピレン系重合体(A)のメルトフローレート(MFR)(ASTM D-1238、測定温度230℃、荷重2.16kg)、あるいはエチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体(B)のメルトフローレート(MFR)(ASTM D-1238、測定温度190℃、荷重2.16kg)を適宜選択することにより調整が可能である。
射出成形の方法としては例えば射出成形機を用いて下記のような方法で成形を行うことができる。まず、射出機構のホッパー内にプロピレン系樹脂組成物を導入し、およそ200℃~250℃に加熱してあるシリンダーにプロピレン系樹脂組成物を送り込み、混練可塑化して溶融状態にする。これをノズルから高圧高速(最大圧力700~1500kg/cm3)で、冷却水あるいは温水等により5~50℃好ましくは10~40℃に温調された、型締め機構にて閉じられている金型内に射出する。金型からの冷却により射出されたプロピレン系樹脂組成物を冷却固化させ型締め機構にて金型を開き、成型品を得ることにより行うことができる。
(1)固体触媒成分の調製
無水塩化マグネシウム95.2g、デカン442mlおよび2-エチルヘキシルアルコール390.6gを130℃で2時間加熱反応を行って均一溶液とした後、この溶液中に無水フタル酸21.3gを添加し、さらに130℃にて1時間攪拌混合を行い、無水フタル酸を溶解させた。
このようにして得られた均一溶液を室温に冷却した後、-20℃に保持した四塩化チタン200ml中に、この均一溶液の75mlを1時間にわたって滴下装入した。装入終了後、この混合液の温度を4時間かけて110℃に昇温し、110℃に達したところでフタル酸ジイソブチル(DIBP)5.22gを添加し、これより2時間同温度にて攪拌保持した。

上記のように調製された固体状チタン触媒成分(A)は、デカンスラリーとして保存したが、この内の一部を触媒組成を調べる目的で乾燥した。このようにして得られた固体状チタン触媒成分(A)の組成は、チタン2.3質量%、塩素61質量%、マグネシウム19質量%、DIBP 12.5質量%であった。
内容積500mlの攪拌機付きの三つ口フラスコを窒素ガスで置換した後、脱水処理したヘプタンを400ml、トリエチルアルミニウム19.2mmol、ジシクロペンチルジメトキシシラン3.8mmol、上記固体状チタン触媒成分(A)4gを加えた。内温を20℃に保持し、攪拌しながらプロピレンを導入した。1時間後、攪拌を停止し結果的に固体状チタン触媒成分(A)1g当たり2gのプロピレンが重合した予備重合触媒成分(B)を得た。

内温80℃、全圧0.8MPa-Gに系内が安定した後、上記予備重合触媒成分(B)をTi原子換算で0.10mmol含んだヘプタンスラリー20.8mlを加え、プロピレンを連続的に供給しながら80℃で3時間重合を行った。
プロピレン単独重合体の重合終了後(前記[工程1]の後)、内温を30℃まで降温し脱圧した。その後、水素0.90MPa-G装入し、続いてプロピレン/エチレン:(4.0l/min)/(1.4l/min)の混合ガスを導入した。内温60℃、全圧0.30MPa-G(導入ガス量により変動)で60分間プロピレン/エチレン共重合を行った。
所定時間経過したところで50mlのメタノールを添加し反応を停止し、降温、脱圧した。内容物を全量フィルター付きろ過槽へ移し60℃に昇温し固液分離した。更に、60℃のヘプタン6lで固体部を2回洗浄した。このようにして得られたプロピレン/エチレン共重合体を真空乾燥した。得られたプロピレン系重合体(A-1)の、メルトフローレート(MFR)(ASTM D-1238、測定温度230℃、荷重2.16kg)は46g/10分、Dinsolは91.0質量%、Dsolは9.0質量%、[ηsol]は2.0dl/g、Dinsol中のエチレンに由来する構成単位の質量が0.8質量%、Dsol中のエチレンに由来する構成単位の質量が22.0質量%であった。
