Description

樹脂組成物およびそれを用いた摺動部材Resin composition and sliding member using the same
 本発明は、樹脂組成物およびそれを用いた摺動部材に関する。 The present invention relates to a resin composition and a sliding member using the same.
 樹脂成形体を構成する樹脂組成物には、例えば耐摩耗性や耐摩擦性などの優れた物性(以下、摩擦・摩耗特性ともいう)を有するものが存在する。そして、当該樹脂組成物は、その摩擦・摩耗特性を活かして、過去より軸受けなどの多くの摺動部材に利用されている。 Some resin compositions constituting resin molded articles have excellent physical properties such as abrasion resistance and friction resistance (hereinafter also referred to as friction/abrasion properties). The resin composition has been used in many sliding members such as bearings since the past by taking advantage of its friction and wear characteristics.
 一方、昨今の地球温暖化を防止しかつ枯渇資源としての石油の使用量を低減させる観点から、石油系樹脂の全部または一部に代えて、穀類、豆類、イモ類などの植物性材料(バイオマス)を由来とする樹脂の利用が注目されている。 On the other hand, from the perspective of preventing the recent global warming and reducing the amount of petroleum used as a depletable resource, plant materials (biomass) such as grains, beans, and potatoes are being used instead of all or part of petroleum-based resins. ) is attracting attention.
 例えば、特許文献1は、バイオマス由来の樹脂として植物由来ポリエチレン樹脂を主成分に用い、これに石油由来ポリエチレン樹脂、変性ポリオレフィン樹脂、植物由来フィラー等を混合した摺動部材用の樹脂組成物およびそれを用いた摺動部材を提案している。また、特許文献2は、主成分である合成樹脂と、添加剤である潤滑油、木質系フィラー、ポリオレフィン樹脂および相溶化剤とを混合して摺動部材用の樹脂組成物およびそれを用いた摺動部材を提案している。 For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a resin composition for sliding members using a plant-derived polyethylene resin as a main component as a biomass-derived resin, and mixing this with a petroleum-derived polyethylene resin, a modified polyolefin resin, a plant-derived filler, etc. We are proposing a sliding member using Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a resin composition for sliding members by mixing a synthetic resin as a main component with lubricating oil, a wood filler, a polyolefin resin, and a compatibilizer as additives, and a resin composition using the same. We are proposing sliding members.
 しかし、特許文献1および2に記載の樹脂組成物では、依然として石油系樹脂の使用が必要であり、得られる摺動部材も十分満足し得る摩擦摩耗特性を有するとは言い難いものであった。また、石油系樹脂の使用回避に対する世界中の関心や、それを大きく宣言する企業の国際的な注目度の高まりを考えると、石油系樹脂に代わるバイオマス由来の樹脂を用いる、新たな樹脂組成物の開発が所望されている。 However, the resin compositions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 still require the use of petroleum-based resins, and the resulting sliding members cannot be said to have sufficiently satisfactory friction and wear characteristics. In addition, considering the worldwide interest in avoiding the use of petroleum-based resins and the increasing international attention of companies that make such a big statement, we are considering new resin compositions that use biomass-derived resins to replace petroleum-based resins. development is desired.

The resin composition of the present invention is also composed of materials that are relatively easy to obtain, thereby increasing the versatility of the sliding member obtained.
 以下、本発明について詳述する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail.
 本発明の樹脂組成物は、バイオマス由来のポリアミド樹脂、セルロース系充填材および脂肪酸エステルを含有する。 The resin composition of the present invention contains a biomass-derived polyamide resin, a cellulose filler, and a fatty acid ester.
 ポリアミド樹脂の由来となるバイオマスは、例えば、糖質作物(例えばサトウキビ)、油糧作物(例えば、菜種、トウゴマ)、デンプン系作物(例えば、トウモロコシ)などの資源作物;農作物非食用部(例えば、稲わら、麦わら、もみ殻、剪定枝)、林地残材などの非利用系バイオマス;などの植物性材料である。 The biomass from which the polyamide resin is derived is, for example, resource crops such as sugar crops (e.g. sugarcane), oil crops (e.g. rapeseed, castor bean), starch crops (e.g. corn); non-edible parts of agricultural crops (e.g. Plant materials such as rice straw, wheat straw, rice husk, pruned branches), and unused biomass such as forest residue.
 バイオマス由来のポリアミド樹脂は、それ自体が、好ましくは50%以上、より好ましくは95%以上、さらにより好ましくは99%以上のバイオマス度を有する。ここで、本明細書中に用いられる用語「バイオマス度」とは、サンプル中に含まれるバイオマス原料の乾燥重量割合であって、ASTM D6866、ISO16620などに規定されているAMS法などの方法でC14を定量し、以下のように現在の大気中の二酸化炭素に含まれるC14の量と比較することで算出される。
 バイオマス度(%)=(サンプル中のC14量/大気中のC14量)×100
The biomass-derived polyamide resin itself preferably has a biomass degree of 50% or more, more preferably 95% or more, and even more preferably 99% or more. Here, the term "biomass degree" used in this specification is the dry weight percentage of biomass raw material contained in a sample, and is a C14 It is calculated by quantifying C14 and comparing it with the amount of C14 contained in the current atmospheric carbon dioxide as shown below.
Biomass degree (%) = (Amount of C14 in sample/Amount of C14 in the atmosphere) x 100
 大気中の二酸化炭素には、放射性炭素(C14)が一定の割合で含まれていることが知られており、このC14の半減期は5730年と長く、二酸化炭素を取り込んで成長する。植物ではC14の含有割合はおよそ大気中の割合と同値であり、一方で石油・石炭などの化石資源においては、ほとんど含有されていない。バイオマス度は、こうしたバイオマス原料となる植物中のC14の含有割合を利用して、測定するサンプル中に含まれるバイオマス原料(植物)の割合として算出できる。ここで本発明においては、バイオマス由来のポリアミド樹脂のバイオマス度が50%を下回ると、石油・石炭などの鉱物資源の使用抑制効果が低くなり、さらに焼却廃棄時に排出する二酸化炭素の削減効果が限定的となる。 It is known that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contains a certain proportion of radioactive carbon (C14), and this C14 has a long half-life of 5,730 years, and grows by taking in carbon dioxide. The content of C14 in plants is approximately the same as that in the atmosphere, while fossil resources such as oil and coal contain almost no C14. The degree of biomass can be calculated as the proportion of the biomass raw material (plant) contained in the sample to be measured by using the content ratio of C14 in the plant serving as the biomass raw material. In the present invention, if the biomass content of the biomass-derived polyamide resin is less than 50%, the effect of suppressing the use of mineral resources such as oil and coal will be low, and furthermore, the effect of reducing carbon dioxide emitted during incineration will be limited. become a target.
 さらにバイオマス由来のポリアミド樹脂は、好ましくは160℃以上260℃以下、より好ましくは178℃以上230℃以下の融点を有する。バイオマス由来のポリアミド樹脂の融点が160℃を下回ると、摺動部材の構成材料として使用した際の当該摺動部材の耐熱性が不足するおそれがある。バイオマス由来のポリアミド樹脂の融点が260℃を上回ると、樹脂組成物の作製および成形においてセルロース系充填材および脂肪酸エステルが著しく分解し、摺動性および機械的物性が大きく低下するおそれがある。 Furthermore, the biomass-derived polyamide resin preferably has a melting point of 160°C or more and 260°C or less, more preferably 178°C or more and 230°C or less. If the melting point of the biomass-derived polyamide resin is lower than 160° C., there is a risk that the sliding member will lack heat resistance when used as a constituent material of the sliding member. If the melting point of the biomass-derived polyamide resin exceeds 260°C, the cellulose filler and fatty acid ester may be significantly decomposed during the preparation and molding of the resin composition, and there is a risk that the sliding properties and mechanical properties will be significantly reduced.

If the content of the cellulose filler is more than 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyamide resin, the fluidity may be reduced and the molding of the sliding member may be adversely affected.

 本発明において、樹脂組成物に含有され得る上記他の添加剤の含有量は特に限定されない。使用されるもの種類および/または組み合わせによって、適切な含有量が当業者によって選択され得る。 In the present invention, the content of the other additives mentioned above that may be contained in the resin composition is not particularly limited. An appropriate content can be selected by a person skilled in the art depending on the type and/or combination used.
 本発明の樹脂組成物は、上記構成成分を含有することにより、以下のような物性を有する。 The resin composition of the present invention has the following physical properties by containing the above constituent components.
 まず、本発明の樹脂組成物における、ISO178に準拠して測定した曲げ弾性率は2000MPa以上12000MPa以下、好ましくは2200MPa以下10000MPa以下である。得られる樹脂組成物の曲げ弾性率が当該範囲内にあることにより、適度な剛性を有した状態で摺動部材に適用することができる。 First, the flexural modulus of the resin composition of the present invention measured in accordance with ISO 178 is from 2,000 MPa to 12,000 MPa, preferably from 2,200 MPa to 10,000 MPa. When the flexural modulus of the resulting resin composition is within the range, it can be applied to sliding members with appropriate rigidity.
 さらに本発明の樹脂組成物では、JIS K7218に記載されたA法に準拠した面圧0.98MPa、摺動速度50cm/秒の条件で行う炭素鋼材(S45C)とのスラスト摩耗試験において、試験開始直後から100分間の範囲で最大摩擦係数は0.10以上0.35以下である。得られる樹脂組成物の上記最大摩擦係数が当該範囲内にあることにより、摺動部材の駆動時のエネルギーを低減することができる他、スティックスリップ現象を抑制することができる。 Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention was tested in a thrust wear test with carbon steel (S45C) conducted under the conditions of a surface pressure of 0.98 MPa and a sliding speed of 50 cm/sec in accordance with method A described in JIS K7218. The maximum friction coefficient is 0.10 or more and 0.35 or less in the range of 100 minutes from immediately after. When the maximum friction coefficient of the obtained resin composition is within the range, it is possible to reduce the energy when driving the sliding member, and also to suppress the stick-slip phenomenon.
 本発明の樹脂組成物はまた、組成物全体としてのバイオマス度が好ましくは50%以上、より好ましくは90%以上、さらにより好ましくは99%以上である。組成物自体がこのようなバイオマス度を有していることにより、石油・石炭などの鉱物資源の使用抑制につながり、焼却廃棄時に排出する二酸化炭素の実質的な削減に寄与することができる。 The resin composition of the present invention also has a biomass degree as a whole of preferably 50% or more, more preferably 90% or more, and even more preferably 99% or more. When the composition itself has such a degree of biomass, it leads to a reduction in the use of mineral resources such as petroleum and coal, and can contribute to a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emitted during incineration and disposal.
 本発明の樹脂組成物はまた、JIS K7218に記載されたA法に準拠した面圧0.98MPa、摺動速度50cm/秒の条件で行う炭素鋼材(S45C)とのスラスト摩耗試験において100分間溶融することがないという性質を有していることが好ましい。得られる樹脂組成物が当該性質を有していることにより、高圧高速の摺動条件下での使用が可能な摺動部材を作製することができる。ここで、本明細書における用語「溶融」とは摩耗試験の摺動部において少なくとも1.0mm以上の深さを有する溝が発生し、かつ摺動部周辺に溶融物がバリとして明らかに目視観察できる状態を指して言う。 The resin composition of the present invention also melted for 100 minutes in a thrust wear test with carbon steel (S45C) conducted under the conditions of a surface pressure of 0.98 MPa and a sliding speed of 50 cm/sec in accordance with method A described in JIS K7218. It is preferable to have the property that there is no problem. Since the obtained resin composition has the above properties, a sliding member that can be used under high pressure and high speed sliding conditions can be produced. Here, the term "melting" in this specification means that grooves with a depth of at least 1.0 mm are generated in the sliding part of the wear test, and melted material is clearly visually observed as burrs around the sliding part. Point to the state in which you can do it.
 さらに、本発明の樹脂組成物は、JIS K7218に記載されたA法に準拠した面圧0.98MPa、摺動速度50cm/秒の条件で行う炭素鋼材(S45C)とのスラスト摩耗試験において、好ましくは0.1×10-3mm/N・km以上10×10-3mm/N・km以下、より好ましくは0.1×10-3mm/N・km以上7.0×10-3mm/N・km以下の比摩耗量を有する。比摩耗量がこのような範囲内にあることにより、当該樹脂組成物は摺動部材とした場合に十分な耐久性を有したものとすることができる。 Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention preferably exhibits favorable results in a thrust wear test with carbon steel material (S45C) conducted under the conditions of a surface pressure of 0.98 MPa and a sliding speed of 50 cm/sec in accordance with Method A described in JIS K7218. is 0.1×10 −3 mm 3 /N・km or more and 10×10 −3 mm 3 /N・km or less, more preferably 0.1×10 −3 mm 3 /N・km or more and 7.0×10 It has a specific wear amount of -3 mm 3 /N・km or less. When the specific wear amount is within such a range, the resin composition can have sufficient durability when used as a sliding member.
 本発明の樹脂組成物は、一般に用いられている方法を用いて容易に調製することができる。例えば、バイオマス由良のポリアミド樹脂、セルロース系充填材および脂肪酸エステル、必要に応じて他の充填材および/または他の添加剤の各所定量を従来の混合機(例えば、ヘンシェルミキサー、スーパーミキサー、ボールミル、タンブラーミキサー等)で混合し、得られた混合物を例えば一軸または二軸のスクリュー型押出機に投入し、溶融混練してストランドに成形した後、ペレットの形態にすることができる。 The resin composition of the present invention can be easily prepared using commonly used methods. For example, predetermined amounts of each of the biomass Yura polyamide resin, cellulosic filler and fatty acid ester, and optionally other fillers and/or other additives are mixed in a conventional mixer (e.g., Henschel mixer, super mixer, ball mill, etc.). The resulting mixture can be put into, for example, a single- or twin-screw extruder, melt-kneaded, formed into a strand, and then formed into pellets.
 本発明の樹脂組成物は、例えば、相手材との摺動摩擦が求められる摺動部材の材料として用いられる。摺動部材の例としては、軸受け、ギア、ワッシャー、ガイドレール、サッシ、ファスナーなどが挙げられる。本発明の樹脂組成物を用いて得られた摺動部材は、摩擦・摩耗特性に優れており、良好な耐久性を有することによって長期に亘る使用が可能である。 The resin composition of the present invention is used, for example, as a material for a sliding member that requires sliding friction with a mating material. Examples of sliding members include bearings, gears, washers, guide rails, sashes, fasteners, and the like. The sliding member obtained using the resin composition of the present invention has excellent friction and wear characteristics, and has good durability, so that it can be used for a long period of time.

 なお、各実施例および比較例で得られたペレット(樹脂組成物)の評価試験を以下のようにして行った。 Note that evaluation tests for the pellets (resin compositions) obtained in each of the Examples and Comparative Examples were conducted as follows.
(評価試験)
(1)曲げ弾性率
 二軸押出機で溶融混練することにより得られたペレット状の樹脂組成物を射出成形機に供給して射出成形し、幅10mm、長さ90mm、厚さ4mmの試験片を作製し、精密万能試験機(株式会社島津製作所製オートグラフAG-X)を用いて、ISO178に準拠して、支点間距離64mm、試験速度2mm/分で三点曲げ試験を行うことにより、曲げ弾性率(MPa)を測定した。
(Evaluation test)
(1) Flexural modulus A pellet-shaped resin composition obtained by melt-kneading with a twin-screw extruder was fed to an injection molding machine and injection molded to form a test piece with a width of 10 mm, a length of 90 mm, and a thickness of 4 mm. By making a three-point bending test using a precision universal testing machine (Autograph AG-X manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) in accordance with ISO178, with a distance between fulcrums of 64 mm and a test speed of 2 mm/min, The flexural modulus (MPa) was measured.
(2)スラスト摩耗試験
 得られた樹脂組成物を用いて、射出成形にて得られた一辺が80mm、厚さ3mmの成形品(摺動部材に相当するものとして取り扱う)から一辺が30mm、厚さ3mmの平板を切り出して試験片とした。この試験片を試験台に固定し、JIS K7218に記載されたA法に準拠した炭素鋼材(S45C)の円筒体(内径20mm、外径25.6mm、接触面積2cm)とのスラスト摩耗試験を、摩擦摩耗試験機(株式会社エー・アンド・デイ製 摩擦摩耗試験機MODEL EFM-III-F)を用いて、面圧0.98MPa、摺動速度50cm/秒の条件で行い、試験中に急激に温度および摩擦係数が上昇し、摩耗深さが1.0mmを超えて試験片摺動部周辺に溶融物がバリとして明確に発生した時点、または摺動時間100分、滑り距離として3kmに達した時点で試験終了とした。
(2) Thrust wear test Using the obtained resin composition, a molded product with a side of 80 mm and a thickness of 3 mm obtained by injection molding (handled as equivalent to a sliding member) is molded into a molded product with a side of 30 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. A flat plate with a diameter of 3 mm was cut out to serve as a test piece. This test piece was fixed on a test stand and a thrust wear test was conducted with a carbon steel (S45C) cylindrical body (inner diameter 20 mm, outer diameter 25.6 mm, contact area 2 cm 2 ) in accordance with method A described in JIS K7218. , using a friction and wear tester (Friction and Wear Tester MODEL EFM-III-F manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd.) under the conditions of a surface pressure of 0.98 MPa and a sliding speed of 50 cm/sec. When the temperature and coefficient of friction increase, the wear depth exceeds 1.0 mm, and molten material clearly appears as burrs around the sliding part of the specimen, or the sliding time reaches 100 minutes and the sliding distance reaches 3 km. The test was terminated at that point.
 試験開始から終了までの範囲内で得られた摩擦係数の最大値を「最大摩擦係数」、積算摺動距離を「滑り距離」とし、この滑り距離が3kmに満たないもの、すなわち試験時間が100分間に満たないものを「溶融した」と判断した。試験終了時の試験片の摩耗体積を摩耗質量から求め、その値を荷重と滑り距離の積で除して「比摩耗量(mm/N・km)」を算出した。 The maximum value of the friction coefficient obtained within the range from the start to the end of the test is the "maximum friction coefficient", and the cumulative sliding distance is the "sliding distance", and if this sliding distance is less than 3 km, that is, the test time is 100 If the time was less than 1 minute, it was judged as "melted". The wear volume of the test piece at the end of the test was determined from the wear mass, and the value was divided by the product of the load and the sliding distance to calculate the "specific wear amount (mm 3 /N·km)".
