Benefits of technology

[0006] To develop higher gas barrier properties, a resin constituting a gas barrier material should preferably be crystallized sufficiently. However, since the polymer represented in Formula (2) above may have a relatively low crystallization rate, it may require heat treatment for a long time in molding and processing and thereby invite higher cost. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition that shows high gas barrier properties at high humidity and can be molded by melt processes.

Problems solved by technology

However, since the polymer represented in Formula (2) above may have a relatively low crystallization rate, it may require heat treatment for a long time in molding and processing and thereby invite higher cost.

(a) Preparation of Poly(5-cyclooctene-1,2-diol)

[0204] In a 3-L separable flask equipped with a thermometer, dropping funnel, reflux tube and stirrer were placed 5-cyclooctene-1,2-diol (320 g, 2.25 mol), 3-cis-hexen-1-ol (2.0 g, 0.02 mol) as a chain transfer agent and tetrahydrofuran (1280 g), and the resulting solution was held to 55° C. To the stirred solution was added dropwise a solution of 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene(tricyclohexylphosphine)benzylideneruthenium dichloride (0.127 g, 0.15 mmol) as a ring-opening metathesis polymerization catalyst in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL). Thirty minutes later, a solution of ethyl vinyl ether (2 g, 0.028 mol) as a terminating agent in a mixture of methanol (500 g) and tetrahydrofuran (250 g) was added, followed by stirring at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into hexane (20 L), the precipitate was separated and recovered by filtration, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to yie...

example 1

[0206] The hydrogenated derivative of poly(5-cyclooctene-1,2-diol) (99 parts by weight) prepared in Referential Example 1(b) and an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (ethylene unit content: 38 percent by mole, saponification degree: 99.9%, viscosity-average polymerization degree: 1,150) (1 part by weight) were melted and kneaded at 170° C. at 100 rpm for 10 minutes using a Laboplast mill (product of Toyo Seiki Seisaku-sho, Ltd.) and thereby yielded a resin composition. The crystallization temperature (Tcc), half time of crystallization (t1 / 2) and oxygen permeability of the resin composition were determined by the above procedures. The results are shown in Table 1.

example 2

[0207] A resin composition was prepared by the procedure of Example 1, except for using an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (ethylene unit content: 38 percent by mole, saponification degree: 99.9%, viscosity-average polymerization degree: 750) (1 part by weight) instead of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (ethylene unit content: 38 percent by mole, saponification degree: 99.9%, viscosity-average polymerization degree: 1,150) (1 part by weight). The crystallization temperature (Tcc), half time of crystallization (t1 / 2) and oxygen permeability of the resin composition were determined by the above procedures. The results are shown in Table 1.

Abstract

A resin composition includes a polymer (A) mainly containing a structural unit represented by following Formula (1):
    • wherein m represents an integer of 2 to 10; X1 and X2 are each hydrogen atom, hydroxyl group or a functional group that can be converted into a hydroxyl group, wherein at least one of X1 and X2 is hydroxyl group or a functional group that can be converted into hydroxyl group; R1, R2 and R3 are each hydrogen atom, hydroxyl group, a functional group that can be converted into hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group or a heteroaryl group, wherein the plural R1s may be the same as or different from each other; and a vinyl alcohol polymer (B).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to resin compositions and films and other molded articles of the resin compositions that have excellent gas barrier properties. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Polymers having functional groups such as hydroxyl group in the molecule show various physical properties such as hydrophilicity or adhesiveness derived from the functional groups. Thus, they can be used as, for example, structural components for functional packaging materials, functional molding materials, sheets, films, fibers, coating agents, functional alloys and blends. A variety of such polymers have been synthesized. For example, PCT International Publication No. WO 99 / 50331 discloses a polymer represented by following Formula (2): wherein X and Y are each hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, carboxylic ester group, amido group, nitrile group or carbonyl group; R is an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms or...
