Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the cellulose acetate having an aliphatic polyester graft chain described in this document, the graft chain is composed of polylactide (or polylactic acid), and mechanical properties such as elasticity are insufficient.
In addition, if the amount of lactic acid (polylactic acid or polylactide) substituted on the cellulose acetate is too much, the modified cellulose acetate has a low glass transition temperature and insufficient heat resistance.
Moreover, if the amount of lactic acid substituted on cellulose acetate is too much, the inherent properties of cellulose acetate will also be reduced.
In addition, such cellulose acetate grafted with a large amount of lactic acid not only tends to change its optical properties due to heat, but also may impair the good properties of cellulose acetate.
For example, if the polymerization degree and molecular weight of the lactic acid grafted chain increase, the grafted chain part will show crystallinity, and whitening or deterioration of haze will easily occur
In this way, in terms of optical applications, no practical cellulose acetate with grafted chains has been found.

[0125] (Preparation method of modified dextran derivative)

[0126] The modified dextran derivative of the present invention (first invention) can be obtained by reacting the dextran derivative with the aforementioned hydroxy acid component (ring-opening polymerization reaction or condensation reaction). That is, a modified dextran derivative can be produced by graft-polymerizing a hydroxy acid component on a dextran derivative. Moreover, when using a cyclic ester (such as lactide, etc.) ), and when a hydroxy acid (hydroxycaproic acid, etc.) is used as the hydroxy acid component, the grafting reaction is a condensation reaction (condensation grafting reaction). In the present invention, a ring-opening grafting reaction using a cyclic ester is generally suitably employed.

[0127] Moreover, the moisture content of the dextran derivative and the hydroxy acid component used in the graft polymerization (especially the ring-opening polymerization using a cyclic ester) is preferab...

[0333] (Synthesis of grafts)

[0334] Add 80 parts of cellulose acetate (manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., L-20, degree of substitution: 2.41) into a reactor equipped with a stirrer and an anchor-type (いかり-type) stirring blade, and dry under reduced pressure at 110° C. and 4 Torr 4 hours. Then clean it with dry nitrogen, install a reflux cooling pipe, add 20 parts of ε-caprolactone and 67 parts of cyclohexanone (ANON) that have been dried and distilled in advance, heat to 160°C, and stir. Dissolve the cellulose acetate evenly. 0.25 part of monobutyltin trioctoate was added to this reaction liquid, and it heated at 160 degreeC for 2 hours with stirring. Then, the reaction liquid was cooled to room temperature, and the reaction was terminated to obtain a reaction product. Next, 10 parts of the reaction product were dissolved in 90 parts of chloroform, and then slowly added dropwise to 900 parts of methanol in a sufficient excess, and the precipitate (graft) ...

Abstract

The invention provides a modified glucan derivative (e.g., modified cellulose acylate) which is suitable for use in optical applications such as optical films. The modified glucan derivative comprises a glucan derivative (e.g., cellulose acetate) and a hydroxy acid ingredient graft-polymerized therewith, wherein (1) the hydroxy acid ingredient comprises a lactone, (2) the hydroxy acid ingredient comprises an a-hydroxy acid ingredient (e.g., lactic acid or lactide) and the proportion of the hydroxy acid ingredient graft-polymerized is 0.1-5 mol on the average in terms of hydroxy acid amount per mol of the glucose units constituting the glucan derivative, or (3) the proportion of the hydroxy acid ingredient by which the glucan derivative is substituted, degree of polymerization of the graft chains, degree of substitution of the glucan derivative (e.g., degree of acetyl substitution), etc. are regulated, whereby the modified glucan derivative has a glass transition temperature of 70 DEG C or higher.
