If the content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) is 70% by mass or less, the copolymer will have no significant stickiness and can maintain the shape of a soft molded body.

[0093] The content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) in the PC-POS copolymer (A) is preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 40% by mass or more, still more preferably 45% by mass or more, for example, exceeding 50% by mass, preferably 65% by mass or less, more preferably 62% by mass or less, still more preferably 55% by mass or less.

[0094] The viscosity-average molecular weight of the PC-POS copolymer (A) is preferably 10,000 or more and 23,000 or less. The above viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) can be adjusted by using a molecular weight regulator (capping agent) or the like or by means of reaction conditions. By setting the viscosity-average molecular weight within the above range, a copolymer with excellent moldability is formed, and melt fracture of the molded body can be further suppressed, so it is preferred.

[0095] The viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) is more preferably 12,000 or more, still more preferably 14,000 or more, still more preferably 16,000 or more, more preferably 21,500 or less, still more preferably 20,500 or less, still more preferably 19,500 or less, still more preferably 18,500 or less, and particularly preferably 18,000 or less. If the viscosity-average molecular weight is 10,000 or more, sufficient strength of the molded product can be obtained.

[0096] The viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) is a value calculated by measuring the intrinsic viscosity [η] of a dichloromethane solution at 20 °C and according to the following Schnell formula.

[0097] [Mathematical formula 1]

[0098] [η]=1.23×10 -5 ×Mv 0.83

[0099] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the PC-POS copolymer (A) is preferably 40,000 or less. By making the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) within the above range, a PC-POS copolymer with excellent flexibility can be obtained. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the PC-POS copolymer (A) is more preferably 37,000 or less, still more preferably 35,000 or less, still more preferably 30,000 or less. In addition, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is preferably 20,000 or more, more preferably 23,000 or more.

[0100] The PC-POS copolymer (A) further preferably has a molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of 2.1 or more and 3.9 or less. By making the molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn of the PC-POS copolymer within the above range, non-uniformity caused by irregular flow and phase separation during molding can be suppressed, and a molded body with high transparency and easy control of flexibility can be obtained, so it is preferred.

[0101] The above-mentioned molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn of the PC-POS copolymer (A) is more preferably 2.3 or more, further preferably 2.4 or more, still further preferably 2.5 or more, still further preferably 2.7 or more, particularly preferably 2.8 or more, more preferably 3.5 or less, further preferably 3.0 or less, and particularly preferably 2.9 or less.

[0102] The above-mentioned PC-POS copolymer (A) can be produced by known production methods such as the interfacial polymerization method (phosgene method), the pyridine method, and the transesterification method. In particular, if the interfacial polymerization method in which a polyorganosiloxane is added to a reaction system for polymerizing a diphenol and a carbonate precursor is adopted, separation of the organic phase containing the PC-POS copolymer and the aqueous phase containing unreacted substances, catalyst residues, etc. can be carried out in the oil-water separation step after polymerization and in each cleaning step based on alkali cleaning, acid cleaning, and pure water (ion-exchanged water) cleaning, and the PC-POS copolymer can be obtained efficiently, and thus it is preferred. As a method for producing the PC-POS copolymer, for example, the method described in JP-A-2014-80462 can be referred to.

[0103] Specifically, it can be produced by dissolving a polycarbonate oligomer and a polyorganosiloxane, which are pre-produced as described below, in a water-insoluble organic solvent (such as dichloromethane), adding an aqueous solution of an alkaline compound (such as an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution) of a diphenol compound (such as bisphenol A), and carrying out an interfacial polycondensation reaction in the presence of a polymerization catalyst such as a tertiary amine (such as triethylamine) and a quaternary ammonium salt (such as trimethylbenzylammonium chloride) and a terminator (such as a monophenol like p-tert-butylphenol). The PC-POS copolymer (A) can also be produced by copolymerizing a polyorganosiloxane with a diphenol and phosgene, a carbonate, or a chloroformate.

[0104] For example, in the case of producing the PC-POS copolymer (A) by reacting a polycarbonate oligomer with a polyorganosiloxane raw material in an organic solvent and then reacting with a diphenol, from the viewpoint of the transparency of the obtained PC-POS copolymer, the solid content weight (g / L) of the polycarbonate oligomer in 1 L of the mixed solution of the above-mentioned organic solvent and the polycarbonate oligomer is preferably in the range of 200 g / L or less. More preferably, it is 180 g / L or less, still further preferably 170 g / L or less, still further preferably 150 g / L or less, and particularly preferably 120 g / L or less.

[0105] The lower the solid content weight (g / L) of the polycarbonate oligomer in 1 L of the mixed solution of the above-mentioned organic solvent and the polycarbonate oligomer, the better the transparency of the obtained copolymer. Therefore, the lower limit is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of efficiently producing the PC-POS copolymer, it is preferably 20 g / L or more, more preferably 30 g / L or more, and still further preferably 40 g / L or more.

[0106] As the polyorganosiloxane used as a raw material, polyorganosiloxanes represented by the following general formula (1), (2) and / or (3) can be used.

[0133] [Chemical formula 16]

[0134]

[0135] [In the formula, n-1 is the same as above.]

[0136] The polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) shown by the above general formula (II-V) or (II-VI) can be obtained by using a polyorganosiloxane raw material shown by the following general formula (5) or (6).

For example, according to the method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-217390, a cyclic trisiloxane and a disiloxane are reacted in the presence of an acidic catalyst to synthesize an α,ω-dihydroorganopentasiloxane. Next, in the presence of a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst, the α,ω-dihydroorganopentasiloxane is subjected to an addition reaction with a phenolic compound (such as 2-allylphenol, 4-allylphenol, eugenol, 2-propenylphenol, etc.), whereby a crude polyorganosiloxane can be obtained. According to the method described in Japanese Patent No. 2662310, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and tetramethyldisiloxane are reacted in the presence of sulfuric acid (an acidic catalyst), and the resulting α,ω-dihydroorganopolysiloxane is subjected to an addition reaction with a phenolic compound or the like in the presence of a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst in the same manner as above, whereby a crude polyorganosiloxane can be obtained.

As the hydrosilylation catalyst, specifically, the hydrosilylation catalyst described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-098292 can be used.

[0157] In order to adjust the molecular weight of the obtained PC-POS copolymer, a capping agent (molecular weight regulator) can be used.

[0158] After the above interfacial polycondensation reaction, a PC-POS copolymer (A) can be obtained through the following steps, that is, performing appropriate standing to separate into an aqueous phase and an organic solvent phase [separation step], washing the organic solvent phase (preferably washing in the order of an alkaline aqueous solution, an acidic aqueous solution, and water) [washing step], concentrating the obtained organic phase [concentration step], and performing drying [drying step].

[0159] Regarding the PC-POS copolymer (A) in the polycarbonate-based resin composition contained in the molded article of the present invention, the content of the unit represented by the following general formula (III) in the above polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) is preferably 0.1 mol% or less.

[0160] [Chemical formula 20]

[0161]

[0162] [In the formula, R 33 and R 34 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. R 31 represents an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an alkylidene group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloalkylene group having 5 to 15 carbon atoms, a cycloalkylidene group having 5 to 15 carbon atoms, an arylene group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, a fluorenediyl group, an arylalkylene group having 7 to 15 carbon atoms, an arylalkylidene group having 7 to 15 carbon atoms.35 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. t represents the average chain length of the polyorganosiloxane.

[0163] By making the block represented by the above general formula (III) 0.1 mol% or less, precise control can be carried out between the raw material polyorganosiloxane used in the production of the PC-POS copolymer and the chain length of the copolymer, and a molded article having both the desired high flexibility and transparency can be obtained.

[0164] Specifically, by adopting the above interfacial polymerization method, a PC-POS copolymer in which the block represented by the above general formula (III) reaches 0.1 mol% or less can be obtained. In the PC-POS copolymer (A), theoretically, it cannot contain the block represented by the above general formula (III) according to the synthesis steps, and substantially its content is 0.0 mol%.

[0165] will be described in detail. The content of the block represented by the above general formula (III) in the above PC-POS copolymer (A) is based on 13 the peak of 13C-NMR for quantification. The specific quantification method is as shown in the examples. Regarding the lower limit of quantification of this quantification method, according to 13 the signal-to-noise ratio of the baseline of the 13C-NMR spectrum, it is less than 0.1 mol%. Regarding the region less than 0.1 mol%, although quantification is impossible, semi-quantification can be carried out. When performing semi-quantification, a relative comparison of the peak heights corresponding to (III) is carried out. When it is difficult to carry out a relative comparison of the peak heights, by further increasing the number of accumulations to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, the lower limit for which semi-quantification can be carried out can be further reduced.

[0166] The content of the block represented by the above general formula (III) in the PC-POS copolymer (A) determined by the above quantification method and semi-quantification method is more preferably 0.08 mol% or less, further preferably 0.05 mol% or less, and particularly preferably substantially 0.0 mol%.

[0167] In the conventionally known synthesis methods, a carbonyl chloride gas having polymerization activity is reacted with a mixture of a bisphenol monomer and a polyorganosiloxane monomer or a polyorganosiloxane. Therefore, even if the addition method and contact time of the carbonyl chloride gas are improved to reduce the amount of the block represented by the above general formula (III), it is impossible to avoid the contact of multiple polyorganosiloxane monomer molecules with the carbonyl chloride gas having polymerization activity, and thus it is impossible to make the amount of the block represented by the general formula (III) substantially reach 0.0 mol%.

[0168] On the other hand, the PC-POS copolymer (A) is preferably synthesized as follows. First, a bisphenol monomer is reacted with phosgene gas to synthesize a bisphenol monomer or a bisphenol polycarbonate oligomer having chloroformate structures at both ends. Then, a polymerization-inert polysiloxane monomer, or a polymerization-inert polysiloxane monomer and a polymerization-inert bisphenol monomer are reacted with the bisphenol monomer having polymerizable chloroformate groups at both ends, or the bisphenol polycarbonate oligomer having polymerizable chloroformate groups at both ends. Therefore, the above general formula (III) is substantially not formed.

[0229] Examples of the ultraviolet absorber include commercially available products such as Seesorb 709 (manufactured by SHIPRO KASEI Co., Ltd., trademark), KEMISORB 79 (manufactured by CHEMIPRO KASEI Co., Ltd., trademark), KEMISORB 279 (manufactured by CHEMIPRO KASEI Co., Ltd., trademark), Hostavin B-CAP (manufactured by Clariant Corporation, trademark), Tinuvin 234 (manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd., trademark), Tinuvin 1577 (manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd., trademark), Cyasorb UV-3638F (manufactured by CYTEC Corporation), etc.

If the content of the above ultraviolet absorber is 0.01 part by mass or more, sufficient light resistance characteristics can be obtained, and if it is 1 part by mass or less, contamination of the mold used in molding can be sufficiently suppressed.

[0231] <Silicone compound>

[0232] Compound (B) contained in the polycarbonate resin composition may include a silicone compound.

[0233] The silicone compound has the effect of suppressing yellowing by acting as a lubricant when granulating the polycarbonate resin composition, and the effect of preventing appearance defects such as silver streaks during molding. As the silicone compound, silicone compounds having a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 12 carbon atoms on the silicon atom, such as polydimethylsiloxane, polymethylethylsiloxane, and polymethylphenylsiloxane, can be used, and silicone compounds having functional groups are particularly preferably used. The silicone compound having a functional group is a polymer or copolymer having a structural unit represented by (R 1 ) a (R 2 ) b SiO (4-a-b) / 2 〔In the formula, R 1 represents a functional group, and R 2 represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms. In addition, a and b are integers satisfying 0 < a ≤ 3, 0 ≤ b < 3, and 0 < a + b ≤ 3.〕. As the functional group represented by R 1 , alkoxy group, aryloxy group, polyoxyalkylene group, hydrogen group, hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, silanol group, amino group, mercapto group, epoxy group, vinyl group, etc. can be cited. Among these, alkoxy group, hydrogen group, hydroxyl group, epoxy group, and vinyl group are preferred, and methoxy group and vinyl group are more preferred. As the hydrocarbon group represented by R 2 , methyl group, ethyl group, phenyl group, etc. can be cited.

[0234] Among the above silicone compounds having functional groups, a silicone compound having a functional group formed by a structural unit containing phenyl as the hydrocarbon group represented by R 2 in the above formula is particularly useful. As the functional group represented by R 1 in the above formula, one kind of functional group can be contained, different kinds of multiple functional groups can be contained, or a mixture thereof can be used. It is preferably used that the functional group (R 1 ) / hydrocarbon group (R 2) The value is 0.1 to 3, preferably 0.3 to 2. The silicone-based compound containing a functional group can be liquid or powdery. In the case of being liquid, its viscosity at room temperature is preferably about 10 to 500000 cst. When using the polycarbonate resin composition for optical applications, it is preferable to reduce the refractive index difference from the polycarbonate resin. The refractive index of the silicone-based compound is preferably 1.45 to 1.65, more preferably 1.48 to 1.60.

[0235] In the polycarbonate resin composition, the sodium content of the silicone-based compound is preferably 15 mass ppm or less. If the sodium content in the silicone-based compound is 15 mass ppm or less, when using the polycarbonate resin composition to produce a molded article, an increase in the yellowness of the molded article can be suppressed. The sodium content in the silicone-based compound is preferably 10 mass ppm or less. As the silicone-based compound, commercially available compounds can be used. However, even for commercially available compounds, and even for products of the same manufacturer and the same grade, the sodium content sometimes varies. Therefore, when using the silicone-based compound, it is preferable to investigate the sodium content rate in advance and use a silicone-based compound with a low sodium content rate, or use it after reducing the sodium content rate. The silicone-based compound sometimes colors light yellow, and it is preferable to use a silicone-based compound with less coloring. As a method for reducing metal components such as sodium, a method of adsorption treatment using aluminum hydroxide, synthetic hydrotalcite, magnesium silicate, aluminum silicate, activated carbon, etc. is known.

[0236] In the polycarbonate-based resin composition, relative to 100 parts by mass of the PC-POS copolymer (A), the silicone-based compound can be contained in an amount of 0.01 to 0.25 parts by mass. If the content of the silicone-based compound is within the above range, the thermal stability during molding of the polycarbonate-based resin composition is excellent, and the appearance of the surface of the molded article can also be maintained well. The content of the silicone-based compound in the polycarbonate-based resin composition is preferably 0.03 to 0.2 parts by mass, more preferably 0.05 to 0.15 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the PC-POS copolymer (A). The content of the silicone-based compound in the polycarbonate-based resin composition can be measured by gas chromatography, and the content does not change significantly compared with the compounding amount before melt-kneading.

[0237] <Epoxy compound>

[0238] For the polycarbonate-based resin composition, when using a phosphite-based antioxidant as the compound (B), it is basically preferable to contain an epoxy compound.

[0239] The phosphite-based antioxidant is more easily hydrolyzed than the polycarbonate resin in a humid and hot environment. In addition, decomposition products such as phosphoric acids and phenols generated during hydrolysis sometimes significantly promote the hydrolysis of the polycarbonate resin.

[0240] The present inventors have the following views: Epoxy compounds have the effect of inhibiting the hydrolysis of phosphite antioxidants or detoxifying the decomposition products generated by the hydrolysis of phosphite antioxidants. Even when 0.02 parts by mass or more of a phosphite antioxidant is added to the PC-POS copolymer (A), if an epoxy compound is used in combination, the reduction rate of the viscosity-average molecular weight can also be adjusted to a value below a specified value.

[0241] Examples of the epoxy compound include compounds in which a part of the structure is epoxidized.

[0242] Among epoxy compounds, from the above viewpoints, alicyclic epoxy compounds, or epoxidized natural oils or epoxidized synthetic oils having an epoxyethane oxygen concentration of 4% or more are preferred.

[0243] When a molded article formed from a resin composition is used for applications such as food containers, from the viewpoint of producing a molded article capable of safely storing food, epoxidized natural oils or epoxidized synthetic oils having an epoxyethane oxygen concentration of 4% or more are more preferred.

[0244] Examples of the alicyclic epoxy compound include 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3',4'-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (trade name "CELLOXIDE 2021P" manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd., etc.), 1,2-epoxy-4-(2-epoxyethyl)cyclohexane adduct of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1-butanol (trade name "EHPE 3150" manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd., etc.), and a mixture of these two (trade name EHPE 3150CE manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.).

[0245] Examples of the epoxidized natural oil having an epoxyethane oxygen concentration of 4% or more include SANSO CIZER E-2000H (trade name, manufactured by Shin Nippon Rika Co., Ltd., epoxidized soybean oil, epoxyethane oxygen concentration 6.7% or more), SANSOCIZER E-9000H (trade name, manufactured by Shin Nippon Rika Co., Ltd., epoxidized linseed oil, epoxyethane oxygen concentration 8.5% or more), etc.

[0246] Examples of the epoxidized synthetic oil having an epoxyethane oxygen concentration of 4% or more include SANSO CIZER E-PO (trade name, manufactured by Shin Nippon Rika Co., Ltd., diepoxy stearyl hexahydrophthalate, epoxyethane oxygen concentration 5.5% or more), SANSO CIZER E-4030 (trade name, manufactured by Shin Nippon Rika Co., Ltd., epoxidized fatty acid butyl ester, epoxyethane oxygen concentration 4.5% or more), etc.

[0247] The epoxyethane oxygen concentration of the epoxidized natural oil or epoxidized synthetic oil is 4% or more, preferably 5% or more, more preferably 6% or more, and further preferably 7% or more. If the epoxyethane oxygen concentration is less than 4%, the hydrolysis of the phosphite antioxidant or the effect of detoxifying the decomposition products generated by hydrolysis is low. As a result, the hydrolysis of the polycarbonate cannot be inhibited, and it is difficult to adjust the molecular weight reduction rate to below a specified value.

[0248] It should be noted that the above epoxyethane oxygen concentration refers to the value measured using an acetic acid solution of hydrogen bromide based on the provisions of ASTM-1652.

[0249] The content of the epoxy compound is 0 to 0.2 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the PC-POS copolymer (A) component. If the content is within the above range, the fluidity of the polycarbonate resin composition is well maintained, and no problems occur during the molding process.

[0250] <Polyether compound>

[0251] The polycarbonate resin composition may contain a polyether compound having a polyoxyalkylene group structure as the compound (B).

If the content of the polyether compound is 1 part by mass or less, the YI value of the molded product can be maintained well when kept at high temperature and when kept at high humidity, the hue is excellent, and it will not have an adverse effect on the transparency of optical molded products such as light guide plates.

[0273] By melt-kneading the obtained PC-POS copolymer, raw material pellets can be obtained. The above compound (B) can be added during melt-kneading. As other additives, reinforcing materials, fillers, elastomers for improving impact resistance, antistatic agents, other resins other than polycarbonate, etc. can be mentioned, and the addition amounts can also be appropriately selected and added in appropriate proportions.

[0274] In the molded article of the present invention, as a polycarbonate resin component, it is preferred that no polycarbonate resin other than the PC-POS copolymer (A) is contained. By using only the polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) as a polycarbonate resin component, the molded article of the present invention can maintain high transparency while having high flexibility.

[0275] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) contained in the polycarbonate resin composition is preferably greater than 40% by mass and less than 70% by mass. The content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) contained in the above-mentioned resin composition is more preferably greater than 41% by mass, more preferably greater than 45% by mass, for example greater than 50% by mass, preferably less than 65% by mass, more preferably less than 62% by mass.

[0276] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) contained in the polycarbonate resin composition is preferably 25% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less. The content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) contained in the above-mentioned resin composition is more preferably 30% by mass or more, further preferably more than 40% by mass, further preferably more than 41% by mass, further preferably more than 45% by mass, for example more than 50% by mass, more preferably less than 65% by mass, further preferably less than 62% by mass.

[0277] Melt kneading can be carried out by the following method: after premixing with commonly used equipment such as a ribbon mixer, a drum roller, etc., a method using a Henschel mixer, a Banbury mixer, a single screw extruder, a twin screw extruder, a multi-screw extruder and a kneader (Japanese original: コニ一ゲ) etc. The heating temperature during kneading is usually appropriately selected in the range of more than 240° C. and less than 320° C. As the melt kneading, an extruder is preferably used, and a vented extruder is particularly preferably used.

[0278] <molded body>

[0279] The molded body of the present invention can be manufactured by using the above-mentioned melt-kneaded polycarbonate resin composition or the obtained pellets as raw materials, and utilizing injection molding, injection compression molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, press molding, vacuum forming, and foaming molding. In particular, the molded body of the present invention is preferably a molded body obtained by using pellets of a polycarbonate resin composition containing the above-mentioned PC-POS copolymer (A) obtained by melt kneading. As described above, the polycarbonate resin composition preferably contains only the PC-POS copolymer (A) as a polycarbonate resin component, and does not contain other polycarbonate resins.

[0280] In other aspects of the present invention, it is important that the content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) contained in the shaped body is 25% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less.

[0281] By making the content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) in the shaped body 25% by mass or more, a resin composition excellent in flexibility and mechanical strength can be obtained. If the content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) in the shaped body is 70% by mass or less, there is no significant stickiness, and a soft shaped body can be obtained.

[0282] Here, the "content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) in the shaped body" has the same meaning as the amount of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) in the resin composition. It refers to the amount of the polyorganosiloxane block in the shaped body obtained by granulating the resin composition and subjecting the granule to various shaping methods described below.

[0283] The content of the polyorganosiloxane block (A-2) in the shaped body is preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably more than 40% by mass, further preferably 41% by mass or more, further preferably 45% by mass or more, for example, more than 50% by mass, preferably 65% by mass or less, and more preferably 62% by mass or less.

[0284] The shaped body of the present invention is characterized by having both excellent flexibility and transparency. Each property will be described in detail.

[0285] The flexibility will be described in detail. The shaped body of the present invention needs to have a durometer hardness based on a Type D durometer of 25 or more and 72 or less as measured by the method described in the examples in accordance with JIS K6253-3:2012.

[0286] The durometer hardness is an index indicating the indentation hardness. In order to obtain a molded article having high flexibility while maintaining a certain degree of mechanical strength, the durometer hardness of the D-type durometer needs to be within the above range. The molded article of the present invention containing a specific PC-POS copolymer (A) in the polycarbonate resin composition has excellent flexibility, so it can be used as a lighting cover without the aid of a sealing member and can cope with a light guide having a complex shape, which can dramatically improve the ease of construction. In addition, even in the case of an optical member having an internal void structure with an undercut draft angle, it can be integrally molded without performing an internal cutting process, so it can be suitably used for a collimating lens. Because of its excellent transparency and flexibility, it can be suitably used in household appliances for substrates of flexible displays, light guide plates, housings, and water / oil repellent films, optical adhesives, switch covers, heat sealants, water blocking materials, sealants, connectors, adapters, smartphone covers, etc.; in optical applications for lenses, glasses / sunglasses parts, optical fiber parts; in automobiles for buffer materials for in-vehicle batteries, wiper blades, curved mirrors, side mirrors, rearview mirrors, lamp housings, bumpers, windows, interlayer glass, exterior decorative materials, interior decorative materials, sound absorbing materials, steering wheel covers, sensor covers, etc.; in daily necessities for watch parts, stationery, cosmetic containers, aquariums for raising aquatic organisms, soles, cups, nail polishes, toys, lures, suction cups, cooking utensils such as steamers, clothes, silicone wiping sheets, remote control covers, umbrellas, linings for metal containers, etc.; in building materials for building material claddings, doors, windows, interlayer glass, tents, mirrors, display cabinets, plastic greenhouses, etc.; in medical applications for medical device housings, infusion bags, infusion tubes, syringes, baby bottles, masks, face shields, filter parts, etc.; in other applications for shock-absorbing parts, robot housings, drone housings, shields, bulletproof shields, sports cushioning equipment, aircraft windows, resin compatibilizers, etc.

[0287] The durometer hardness of the molded article of the present invention based on the D-type durometer is more preferably 30 or more, further preferably 40 or more, more preferably 70 or less, and further preferably 68 or less.

[0288] According to the use of the molded article of the present invention, the preferred range of the durometer hardness may sometimes change. For example, in the case of a use that emphasizes flexibility, it is more preferably 28 or more and more preferably 33 or less. In the case of a use that emphasizes mechanical strength, it is more preferably 60 or more and more preferably 65 or less. In addition, in the case of a use that emphasizes both flexibility and mechanical strength, it is more preferably 45 or more and more preferably 50 or less.

[0289] Depending on the shape of the molded article, it may sometimes be impossible to measure the durometer hardness. In such cases, the molded article can be temporarily melted and remolded into a shape capable of measuring the durometer hardness, and thus the durometer hardness can be measured. The molding conditions at this time are the same as the molding method described in the examples.

[0290] As a raw material for obtaining such a molded article, a raw material obtained by cutting, decomposing, destroying, etc. the molded article and the member containing the molded article can be used.

[0291] The transparency will be described in detail. The molded article of the present invention preferably has a total light transmittance of 75% or more when measured at a thickness of 2 mm according to JIS K7361-1:1997. By making the total light transmittance based on the above conditions 75% or more, the transparency is excellent, and thus it can be suitably used as the above-mentioned optically transparent member.

[0292] The total light transmittance of the molded article of the present invention at a thickness of 2 mm is more preferably 85% or more, further preferably 89% or more, further preferably 90% or more, further preferably 91% or more, and particularly preferably 92% or more.

[0293] The molded article of the present invention can be used as an optical member or a transparent member. Specifically, it can be suitably used for at least one selected from flexible displays, light guide plates, housings, water / oil repellent films, optical adhesives, switch covers, heat sealants, water blocking materials, sealants, connectors, adapters, smartphone covers, lenses, glasses / sunglasses parts, optical fiber parts, buffer materials for in-vehicle batteries, wiper blades, curved mirrors, side mirrors, rearview mirrors, lamp shades, bumpers, windows, exterior decorative materials, interior decorative materials, sound absorbing materials, steering wheel covers, sensor covers, watch parts, stationery, cosmetic containers, aquariums for raising aquatic organisms, soles, cups, nail paintings, toys, fishing lures, suction cups, cooking utensils such as steamers, clothes, silicone wiping sheets, remote control covers, umbrellas, linings for metal containers, building material claddings, doors, windows, glass interlayers, tents, mirrors, display cabinets, plastic greenhouses, medical device housings, infusion bags, infusion tubes, syringes, baby bottles, masks, face shields, filter parts, shock absorbing parts, robot housings, drone housings, shields, bulletproof shields, sports cushioning equipment, aircraft windows, resin compatibilizers, lighting covers, light guides, light guide panels, lighting units, prism panels, flat lenses, Fresnel lenses, microlens arrays, and collimating lenses.

[0416] The PC-POS copolymer (A) obtained in each production example and each compound (B) shown in Tables 3 to 7 were melt-kneaded and pelletized, and the resulting resin composition was formed using a vacuum press (manufactured by Iwamoto Seisakusho, manual hydraulic vacuum heating press). 7.0 g of the resin was placed into a mold with a longitudinal dimension of 5 cm × a lateral dimension of 5 cm × a thickness of 2 mm, and the surface in contact with the resin was clamped with a mirror-finished aluminum plate and placed into the vacuum press. The inside of the vacuum press tank was depressurized to -0.1 MPa or less relative to the atmospheric pressure. Thereafter, according to the PC-POS copolymer (A) contained in each resin composition, it was heated to the forming temperatures shown in Tables 2-1 and 2-2. After reaching the forming temperature, the pressing pressure was set to 2 MPa and then heated for 2 minutes. Next, the pressing pressure was increased over 3 minutes and formed for 5 minutes while maintaining 15 MPa. After forming, the formed body was taken out after returning to the atmospheric pressure and cooled until reaching room temperature. Thereafter, it was peeled off from the mirror-finished aluminum plate to obtain a measurement sample with a longitudinal dimension of 5 cm × a lateral dimension of 5 cm × a thickness of 2 mm. The evaluation results of the obtained formed bodies are shown in Tables 3 to 7.
