AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The aromatic polycarbonate copolymer composition achieves improved moldability and mechanical strength while maintaining high transparency, making it suitable for optical and electronic device applications.

Problems solved by technology

It is known that, in this process, while processing at a high processing temperature needs to be avoided for causing of decomposition and coloring of the thermoplastic resin, an excessively low processing temperature causes a remarkable decrease in the melt viscosity, leading to a partially or totally unmelted state in some cases, which makes the processing impossible.
Thus, even in a thermoplastic resin having excellent properties, there are limitations in the thickness, size, and shape of the obtained molded article depending on the melt viscosity at the appropriate processing temperature of the resin.
However, in general, since a thermoplastic resin is a polymer material, its physical properties including thermal properties and mechanical properties are strongly correlated with the molecular weight, and a decrease in the molecular weight results in deterioration of the above-described excellent physical properties of the thermoplastic resin.
However, since they have low fluidity upon melting and show poor moldability, various methods for improvement of the fluidity have been conventionally studied.
However, the above methods have drawbacks in, for example, that the transparency, one of the excellent properties of the polycarbonate resins, is lost, that detachment occurs in the molded article during injection molding, and that the heat resistance, impact resistance, and fire retardancy remarkably decrease.

synthesis example 1

Synthesis of 1,1-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)decane (BP-C10)

[0180]A synthesis example of 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)decane, which is listed in the later-mentioned Table-1, is described below.

[0181]Phenol (100 parts by weight) was melted by warming at 40° C., and concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.33 parts by weight) was added thereto. To the resulting mixture, a mixture of decanal (33.1 parts by weight) and toluene (21.2 parts by weight) was added dropwise for four hours. Thereafter, the mixture was aged at 40° C. for 1 hour, and the reaction was stopped with an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. After evaporating phenol from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, extraction was performed with toluene, and the mixture was washed with water three times. After removing the solvent by distillation, crystallization from toluene and heptane was performed to obtain 23.3 parts by weight of the compound of interest as a white powder. The purity was 99.4%, and the melting point was 93° C....

[0182]A synthesis example of 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)dodecane, which is listed in the later-mentioned Table-1, is described below.

[0183]The same synthesis as in Synthesis Example 1 was carried out except that dodecanal (39.0 parts by weight) was used instead of decanal. As a result, 27.8 parts by weight of the compound of interest was obtained as a white powder. The purity was 99.0%, and the melting point was 86° C.

[0184]The compounds of interest in Synthesis Examples 1 and 2 were analyzed under the following analysis conditions.

production example 1

of Aromatic Polycarbonate Copolymer

[0192]The material dihydroxy compounds and the carbonate-forming compound described in Table-1 were fed to a glass reactor having a capacity of 150 mL equipped with a reactor heater and a reactor pressure regulator, at the material feed ratios described in Table-2, such that the total amount of dihydroxy compounds was 117 g. Further, as a catalyst, 2 wt % aqueous cesium carbonate solution was added thereto such that cesium carbonate was contained at 1 μmol per 1 mol of the total dihydroxy compounds, to prepare a material mixture.

[0193]Subsequently, an operation of reducing the pressure in the glass reactor to about 100 Pa (0.75 Torr) and then restoring the pressure with nitrogen to atmospheric pressure was repeated three times, thereby replacing the inside of the reactor with nitrogen. Thereafter, the external temperature of the reactor was adjusted to 220° C. to allow a slow increase in the internal temperature of the reactor, thereby dissolving t...
