Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laminate sheet, a manufacturing method thereof, a molded sheet product, and a solar cell sheet.
- Polypropylene sheets are widely used, primarily for food trays, due to their excellent moldability, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. However, they have not been used for large molded products such as building materials, vehicles, or automobile parts, as the mechanical strength of the sheet molded products is poor; currently, polypropylene is used exclusively to obtain molded products by injection molding. On the other hand, polypropylene sheet molded products have the advantage of being easily recyclable as a mono-material, making them a material that meets the recent need to reduce environmental impact, and there are hopes that they will be used in industrial products.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which multiple sheets of two-kind, three-layer stretched polypropylene film, in which low-melting-point polypropylene films are positioned on both surface layers of a high-melting-point polypropylene film, are laminated together under heat to produce a moldable laminated sheet.
- the laminated sheet described in Patent Document 1 is produced by a method of laminating and bonding using a roll forming machine, and therefore, bonding is performed only at the roll-to-roll contact points of the nip rolls, making lamination difficult, resulting in insufficient adhesion between the layers, trapping air throughout the sheet, and the resulting sheet is prone to warping and undulation. Even if the film is fed slowly to ensure proper lamination, the surface layer may be wrinkled due to the radiant heat from the roll (165° C.).
- the problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a biaxially oriented laminate sheet having excellent rigidity that can be applied to large molded products, in particular a biaxially oriented laminate sheet having homogenized in-plane rigidity when made large in area and having little unevenness in mechanical properties.

- ⁇ Bending test> The tensile modulus was measured under the following conditions in accordance with JIS K7171, and the bending modulus in the TD direction (x direction) and MD direction (y direction) was measured at the positions (1), (2), and (3) in Fig. 5.
- the MD direction of the raw material film was defined as the x direction.
- Test pieces for evaluating the surface condition were cut out at the positions shown as ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ in Fig. 8, 9, or 13 below.
- the size of the test pieces is shown in Fig. 10.
- the method for determining the positions of ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ and the method for collecting each test piece are the same as those described above in the section on laminated sheets.
- the arithmetic surface roughness (Ra) was measured under the following conditions in accordance with JIS 2001.
- Example 1 In the preparation step, 48 sheets of the BAB co-extruded film 1 were stacked, and the BAA film 1 was stacked on both surfaces of the stack so that the A layer was on the surface to obtain a precursor (pMS1). Next, the stack was inserted into a pressurizing device having a continuous pressurizing mechanism as shown in Figure 1, and pressing, releasing the pressure, and feeding out the laminated sheet were continuously repeated.
- the temperatures of the upper and lower dies in the pressurizing device were set as shown in FIG. 4, the pressure from the four cylinders was 30 MPa, the press time was 5 seconds, and the sheet feed length when the pressure was released was 25 mm.
- a transparent laminate sheet (MLS) having dimensions of 595 ⁇ 1500 mm and a thickness of 2.5 mm as shown in FIG. 5 was obtained.
- dumbbell-shaped test pieces for tensile tests and rectangular test pieces for bending tests were cut out from the positions shown in Fig. 5, and mechanical properties were evaluated using the measurement methods described above in ⁇ Tensile test> and ⁇ Bending test>.
- the results are shown in Table 1. Further, test pieces for evaluating the surface state were cut out from the obtained laminated sheet at the positions shown in Fig. 8 below, and the surface state was evaluated using the measurement method described above in ⁇ Evaluation of surface state>. The results are shown in Table 2.
- Example 2 A precursor (pMS2) was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the BAB film 1 and the BAA film 1 had a width of 700 mm. Next, lamination was performed in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the temperatures of the upper and lower dies in the pressure device were set as shown in FIG. In this manner, a transparent laminate sheet having dimensions of 700 ⁇ 1500 mm and a thickness of 2.5 mm as shown in FIG. 12 was obtained. From the obtained transparent laminate sheet (MLS), dumbbell-shaped test pieces for tensile tests and rectangular test pieces for bending tests were cut out at the positions shown in Fig. 12, and mechanical properties were evaluated using the measurement methods described above in ⁇ Tensile test> and ⁇ Bending test>. The results are shown in Table 1. Further, test pieces for evaluating the surface state were cut out from the obtained laminated sheet at the positions shown in Fig. 13 below, and the surface state was evaluated using the measurement method described above in ⁇ Evaluation of surface state>. The results are shown in Table 2.
- Example 3 As a preparation step, 15 sheets of BAB coextruded films 2 were stacked, and AAB films 2 (thickness: 200 ⁇ m) were stacked on both surfaces of the stack so that the A layers were on the surfaces. Except for this, a precursor (pMS3) was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. Next, the sheets were laminated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the temperature settings of the upper and lower dies in the pressure device were set under the conditions shown in Fig. 16, to obtain a transparent laminate sheet having a size of 700 x 1500 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. From the obtained transparent laminate sheet, dumbbell-shaped test pieces for tensile tests and rectangular test pieces for bending tests were cut out from the positions shown in Fig. 12, and mechanical properties were evaluated using the measurement methods described in the ⁇ Tensile test> and ⁇ Bending test> above. The results are shown in Table 1.
- Example 4 40 sheets of BAB coextruded film 1 were stacked, and BAA film 1 was stacked on both surfaces with the A layer on the surface, and cut to a size of 700 x 700 mm.
- the B/A/B coextruded film and the B/A coextruded film were stacked so that the MD direction and the TD direction were aligned.
- the lamination was carried out using the chamber of the sheet-type vacuum lamination apparatus shown in Fig. 14 and the cooling device shown in Fig. 15. The lamination conditions were as follows.
- Example 1 A precursor (pMS1) having the same configuration as in Example 1 and cut to 400 ⁇ 400 mm was tried to be laminated using a roll forming machine (Tokuden Co., Ltd. dielectric heating jacket roller, model "JR-D0-W", roll diameter 200 mm ⁇ ⁇ 2, roll face length 400 mm).
- Heat roll temperature 165°C
- Heat roll forming take-off speed 0.8 m/min
- Preheat roll 130 to 155°C
- the laminated sheet obtained had many areas where the sheets were not bonded due to air entrapment, and had warping and undulations.
