Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin having excellent scratch resistance, heat resistance, and moldability, and being able to suppress polymer decomposition under conditions of exposure to an alkaline environment containing amines. In addition, the present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin molded product (sheet, film, etc.) suitable for manufacturing an automotive interior decoration part. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an automotive interior decoration part having excellent scratch resistance, heat resistance, moldability, and amine resistance, which is composed of a polycarbonate resin having specific structural units. Background Art
[0002] Polyurethane foam is made of polyol and polyisocyanate as main raw materials, and is formed by mixing a blowing agent, a foam stabilizer, a catalyst, a colorant, etc., and foaming while resinizing. In particular, in the automotive field, it is widely used in seat cushions, door trims, headrests, armrests, steering wheels, floor ceilings, and other sound-absorbing and vibration-damping materials, cushioning materials, sunshades, etc. It is known that tertiary amine compounds used as catalysts are indispensable substances in the resinization, foaming, and expansion reactions of polyurethane foam, but the amine catalyst gradually volatilizes from the polyurethane foam after production, causing discoloration and whitening of other interior decorative parts.
[0003] In addition, in the automotive field, the paint-free interior parts are being studied for the purpose of reducing environmental load and improving production efficiency, and paint-free materials that do not require coating treatment for the purpose of protecting the surface are required. Therefore, such paint-free materials need to have scratch resistance and amine resistance.
[0004] Polycarbonate resins are used as engineering plastics in a wide range of fields, such as housings of electrical and electronic equipment, automobile interior and exterior parts, building materials, furniture, musical instruments, and sundries, due to their excellent transparency, impact resistance, heat resistance, and dimensional stability. Furthermore, compared with inorganic glass, polycarbonate resins have a lower specific gravity, can be lightweight, and have excellent productivity, so they are used for windows of automobiles, etc.
[0005] Furthermore, sheets and films using polycarbonate resins are widely used as various display devices and protective parts for automobile interiors by subjecting them to additional secondary processing such as coating, lamination, and surface modification.
[0006] However, polycarbonate resins that have not been subjected to coating treatment have the following problems: if exposed to an alkaline environment containing amines, the polymer decomposes and the surface of the molded product turns white. Furthermore, the pencil hardness of polycarbonate resin measured according to JIS K5600-5-4 General Test Methods for Coatings - Part 5: Mechanical Properties of Coatings - Section 4: Scratch Hardness (Pencil Method) is only about 2B, and as an uncoated material, there is a problem that the surface is easily scratched.
[0007] Therefore, it is described that polycarbonate and copolycarbonate containing 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane as a constituent unit have excellent scratch resistance (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5). Although such polycarbonate resin has improved scratch resistance, it is inferior in heat resistance.
[0008] Therefore, it is known that polycarbonate resins obtained by copolymerizing 2-phenyl-3,3-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)phthalimide alone or with bisphenol A have high heat resistance. (For example, Patent Documents 6 to 9) Although the polycarbonate resins have improved heat resistance, they have the problem of poor amine resistance. Furthermore, polycarbonate resins having a glass transition temperature exceeding 200°C have poor fluidity during molding, causing poor appearance and yellowing of the molded products, and thus poor moldability.
[0009] Therefore, there is no polycarbonate resin that is excellent in scratch resistance, heat resistance, amine resistance, and moldability.

Representative examples of the other dihydric phenols include 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene, hydroquinone, resorcinol, resorcinol substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,3-trimethylindan-5-ol, 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,3-trimethylindan-5-ol, 6,6'-dihydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylspiroindan, 1-methyl-1,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-isopropylcyclohexane, 1-methyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-[1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)isopropyl]cyclohexane, 1,6-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,6-hexanedione, and ethylene glycol bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) ether. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The content of these other dihydric phenols is preferably 30 mol% or less, more preferably 20 mol% or less, further preferably 10 mol% or less, particularly preferably 5 mol% or less, based on 100 mol% of all structural units.
[0133] <Method for producing polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin)>
[0134] The polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin) of (mode 1) and (mode 2) used in the present invention is obtained by reacting dihydric phenol with carbonate precursor. As the reaction method, interfacial polycondensation, melt transesterification, solid phase transesterification of carbonate prepolymer and ring-opening polymerization of cyclic carbonate compounds etc. can be enumerated. In the case of interfacial polycondensation, a capping agent of monohydric phenol is usually used. In addition, it can be a branched polycarbonate formed by polymerization of 3 functional components, and then it can also be a copolymerized polycarbonate formed by copolymerization of aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and vinyl monomer.
[0135] For example, the reaction using phosgene as a carbonate precursor is usually carried out in the presence of an acid binding agent and a solvent. As an acid binding agent, for example, an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or an amine compound such as pyridine can be used. As a solvent, for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or chlorobenzene can be used. In addition, in order to promote the reaction, for example, a catalyst such as a tertiary amine or a quaternary ammonium salt can also be used. At this time, the reaction temperature is usually 0 to 40°C, and the reaction time is a few minutes to 5 hours.
[0136] For example, the transesterification reaction using carbonic acid diester as a carbonate precursor is carried out by heating and stirring a predetermined ratio of aromatic dihydroxy components and carbonic acid diester under an inert gas atmosphere, and distilling out the generated alcohol or phenol. The reaction temperature varies according to the boiling point of the generated alcohol or phenol, and is usually in the range of 120 to 300°C. The reaction is decompressed from its initial stage, and the generated alcohol or phenol is distilled out while completing the reaction. In addition, in order to promote the reaction, a catalyst used in a conventional transesterification reaction can also be used. As the carbonic acid diester used in the above-mentioned transesterification reaction, for example, diphenyl carbonate, dinaphthyl carbonate, bis (diphenyl) carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dibutyl carbonate, etc. can be cited. Among these, diphenyl carbonate is particularly preferred.
[0137] As the end-capping agent, commonly used monofunctional phenols can be used. In particular, in the case of a reaction using phosgene as a carbonate precursor, monofunctional phenols are generally used as end-capping agents to adjust the molecular weight. In addition, since the ends of the obtained aromatic polycarbonate resin are end-capped with groups based on monofunctional phenols, the thermal stability is excellent compared to a case where this is not the case. Specific examples of the above-mentioned monofunctional phenols include phenol, m-methylphenol, p-methylphenol, m-propylphenol, p-propylphenol, 1-phenylphenol, 2-phenylphenol, p-tert-butylphenol, p-cumylphenol, isooctylphenol, p-long-chain alkylphenol, etc.
[0138] The polycarbonate resin of the present invention preferably contains a structural unit (T) represented by the following formula (T) at the terminal. The inclusion of the structural unit (T) at the terminal improves fluidity.
[0139]
[0140] (In formula (T), l represents an integer of 0 or 1, and R5 represents an alkyl group having 5 to 20 carbon atoms.)
[0141] The content (molar fraction) of the structural unit (T) represented by the above formula (T) in all structural units in the polycarbonate resin is preferably 0.01 mol% or more, more preferably 0.01 to 10 mol%, and further preferably 0.1 to 10 mol%. Within the above range, the glass transition temperature does not become too high, the fluidity is excellent, and the mechanical properties (such as not becoming brittle) are also excellent.
[0142] In the structural unit (B) represented by the above formula (2), R5 is preferably an alkyl group having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and more preferably an alkyl group having 10 to 18 carbon atoms.
[0143] The polycarbonate resin used in the present invention can be copolymerized with an aliphatic diol as needed. For example, isosorbide: 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-sorbitol, tricyclodecane dimethanol (TCDDM), 4,8-bis(hydroxymethyl)tricyclodecane, tetramethylcyclobutanediol (TMCBD), 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-diol, mixed isomers, cis / trans-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), cis / trans-1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane, cyclohexane-1,4-diol, ...2-diol, 1,2-diol, 1,4-diol, 1,2-diol, 1,4- cyclohexanedimethanol, trans-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (tCHDM), trans-1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (cCHDM), cis-1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,1'-bis(cyclohexyl)-4,4'-diol, spirodiol, dicyclohexyl-4,4'-diol, 4,4'-dihydroxydicyclohexyl and poly(ethylene glycol).
[0144] The polycarbonate resin used in the present invention may be copolymerized with fatty acids as needed, for example, 1,10-dodecanedioic acid (DDDA), adipic acid, adipic acid, isophthalic acid, 1,3-phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, 1,4-phthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (mHBA) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA).
[0145] The polycarbonate resin used in the present invention comprises polyester carbonates obtained by copolymerizing aromatic or aliphatic (including alicyclic) difunctional carboxylic acids. The aliphatic difunctional carboxylic acids are preferably α, ω-dicarboxylic acids. As aliphatic difunctional carboxylic acids, for example, linear saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as sebacic acid (decane dioic acid), dodecanedioic acid, tetradecanedioic acid, octadecanedioic acid and eicosanedioic acid, and alicyclic dicarboxylic acids such as cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid can be preferably cited. These carboxylic acids can be copolymerized within the range that does not hinder the purpose. The polycarbonate resin of the present invention can also copolymerize the constituent units containing polyorganosiloxane units as needed.
[0146] The polycarbonate resin used in the present invention may be copolymerized with a constituent unit containing a trifunctional or higher polyfunctional aromatic compound to form a branched polycarbonate as required. As the trifunctional or higher polyfunctional aromatic compound used in the branched polycarbonate, preferably, there can be exemplified triphenols such as 4,6-dimethyl-2,4,6-tris(4-hydroxydiphenyl)heptene-2,2,4,6-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)heptane, 1,3,5-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzene, 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 1,1,1-tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 2,6-bis(2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)-4-methylphenol and 4-{4-[1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]benzene}-α,α-dimethylbenzylphenol. Among them, 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane is preferred. The constituent units derived from the polyfunctional aromatic compound account for preferably 0.03 to 1.5 mol %, more preferably 0.1 to 1.2 mol %, and particularly preferably 0.2 to 1.0 mol % of the total 100 mol % of the constituent units derived from other binary components.
[0147] In addition, the branched structural unit can be derived not only from a polyfunctional aromatic compound, but also from a side reaction such as that produced during a polymerization reaction using a melt transesterification method without using a polyfunctional aromatic compound. 1 It was calculated by H-NMR measurement.
[0148] The viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) of the polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin) of (Mode 1) and (Mode 2) of the present invention is preferably 15,000 to 40,000, more preferably 15,500 to 35,000, further preferably 16,000 to 30,000, and particularly preferably 17,000 to 25,000. Polycarbonate resins having a viscosity average molecular weight less than the above lower limit may not have sufficient toughness for practical use. On the other hand, polycarbonate resins having a viscosity average molecular weight exceeding the above upper limit require high molding processing temperatures or require special molding methods, and therefore have poor versatility. Furthermore, sometimes the injection speed dependency tends to increase due to an increase in melt viscosity, and the yield rate is reduced due to poor appearance, etc.
[0149] The viscosity average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin in the present invention is calculated as follows: First, the specific viscosity (η) calculated by the following formula is obtained from a solution obtained by dissolving 0.7 g of the polycarbonate resin in 100 ml of dichloromethane at 20° C. using an Ostwald viscometer. SP ),
[0150] Specific viscosity (η SP )=(t-t0) / t0
[0151] [t0 is the falling seconds of dichloromethane, t is the falling seconds of the sample solution]
[0152] According to the calculated specific viscosity (η SP ) The viscosity average molecular weight Mv is calculated by the following mathematical formula.
[0153] η SP / c=[η]+0.45×[η] 2 c (where [η] is limiting viscosity)
[0154] [η] = 1.23 × 10 -4 Mv 0.83
[0155] c=0.7
[0156] <Components other than polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin)>
[0157] The polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin) of (Aspect 1) and (Aspect 2) of the present invention may contain a mold release agent, a heat stabilizer, an ultraviolet absorber, a flow improver, an antistatic agent, and other known functional agents within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.
[0158] (i) Release agent
[0159] The polycarbonate resin of the present invention can be used in combination with a release agent within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of release agents include fatty acid esters, polyolefin waxes (polyethylene waxes, 1-olefin polymers, etc., and substances modified with compounds containing functional groups such as acid-modified ones can also be used), fluorine compounds (fluorine oils represented by polyfluoroalkyl ethers, etc.), paraffin waxes, beeswax, etc. Among these, fatty acid esters are preferred in terms of ease of acquisition, demolding properties, and transparency. The proportion of the release agent contained is preferably 0.005 to 0.5 parts by weight, more preferably 0.007 to 0.4 parts by weight, and further preferably 0.01 to 0.3 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin. When the content is above the lower limit of the above range, the effect of improving demolding properties can be clearly exerted, and when it is below the upper limit, adverse effects such as mold contamination during molding are reduced, so it is preferred.
[0160] The fatty acid ester used as the preferred release agent among the above is further described in detail. The fatty acid ester is an ester of an aliphatic alcohol and an aliphatic carboxylic acid. The aliphatic alcohol may be a monohydric alcohol or a polyhydric alcohol of dihydric or higher. In addition, the number of carbon atoms of the alcohol is preferably in the range of 3 to 32, and more preferably in the range of 5 to 30. As the monohydric alcohol, for example, dodecanol, tetradecanol, hexadecanol, octadecyl alcohol, eicosanol, tetracosanol, hexacosanol and triacontanol can be exemplified. As the polyol, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, polyglycerol (triglycerol to hexaglycerol), ditrimethylolpropane, xylitol, sorbitol and mannitol can be cited. Among the fatty acid esters, polyols are more preferred.
[0161] On the other hand, the aliphatic carboxylic acid is preferably an aliphatic carboxylic acid having 3 to 32 carbon atoms, and particularly preferably an aliphatic carboxylic acid having 10 to 22 carbon atoms. As the aliphatic carboxylic acid, for example, saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids such as decanoic acid, undecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, tridecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, pentadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid), heptadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid (stearic acid), nonadecanoic acid, eicosanoic acid and docosanoic acid (behenic acid), and unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids such as palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, eicosenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and cetylene acid can be cited. Among the above, the aliphatic carboxylic acid is preferably an aliphatic carboxylic acid having 14 to 20 carbon atoms. Among them, saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids are preferred. The aliphatic carboxylic acid is usually manufactured from natural oils and fats such as animal fats and fats (bean oil and lard, etc.) and vegetable fats and fats (palm oil, etc.), so these aliphatic carboxylic acids are usually a mixture of other carboxylic acid components containing different carbon atoms. Therefore, the aliphatic carboxylic acid is also manufactured from the natural oils and fats in the manufacture, and is composed of the form of a mixture containing other carboxylic acid components. The acid value of the fatty acid ester is preferably 20 or less (can be substantially 0). However, in the case of a full ester (Full Ester), it is preferred to contain a large amount of free fatty acid in order to improve the mold release property. From this point of view, the acid value of the full ester is preferably in the range of 3 to 15. In addition, the iodine value of the fatty acid ester is preferably 10 or less (can be substantially 0). These properties can be obtained by the method specified in JIS K 0070.
[0162] The above-mentioned fatty acid ester can be any one of partial ester and full ester. From the aspect of better demoulding property and durability, partial ester is preferred, and monoglyceride is particularly preferred. In monoglyceride, the monoester of glycerol and fatty acid is the main component. As preferred fatty acid, saturated fatty acids such as stearic acid, palmitic acid, behenic acid, arachidic acid, montanic acid and lauric acid, unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid and sorbic acid can be cited. It is particularly preferred that the monoglyceride of stearic acid, behenic acid and palmitic acid is the main component. It should be noted that the fatty acid is synthesized from natural fatty acids, which is a mixture as described above. In such a case, the ratio of the monoglyceride in the fatty acid ester is also preferably more than 60 weight %.
[0163] Should be explained, from the aspect of heat stability, partial ester is more than the situation of full ester difference.In order to improve the heat stability of this partial ester, partial ester is preferably following sodium metal content: preferably less than 20ppm, more preferably less than 5ppm, further preferably less than 1ppm.Sodium metal content is less than the fatty acid partial ester of 1ppm and can utilize molecular distillation etc. to purify and manufacture after making fatty acid partial ester by common method as early as possible.
[0164] Specifically, there are following methods, etc.: after removing gaseous components and low-boiling substances by a nozzle-type degassing device, use a falling film (Falling Film) formula distillation apparatus to remove polyol components such as glycerol under the conditions of distillation temperature 120~150 ℃, vacuum 0.01~0.03kPa, further use a centrifugal molecular distillation apparatus to obtain highly purified fatty acid partial esters as distillate components under the conditions of distillation temperature 160~230 ℃, vacuum 0.01~0.2Torr, and sodium metal can be removed in the form of distillation residue. By repeatedly carrying out molecular distillation to the resulting distillate components, purity can also be further improved to obtain fatty acid partial esters with further less sodium metal content. In addition, it is also important to fully clean the molecular distillation apparatus in advance, and to prevent the pollution of the sodium metal component from the external environment by improving air tightness, etc. This fatty acid ester can be obtained from a professional (for example, Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd.).

A particularly preferred tertiary phosphine is triphenylphosphine.
[0174] The above-mentioned phosphorus stabilizer can be used not only alone but also in combination of two or more.

[0208] <Characteristics of polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin)>
[0209] The polycarbonate copolymers (polycarbonate resins) of (Aspect 1) and (Aspect 2) of the present invention can suppress polymer decomposition in an alkaline environment containing amines. As a result of various studies, it has been found that in the depolymerization reaction of polycarbonate based on amine compounds, the amine compounds act on the carbonate bonds of the polycarbonate, and depolymerization proceeds while generating carbamate oligomers as intermediates.
[0210] Therefore, in (mode 1), in order to suppress the reaction between the amine compound and the carbonate bond, it was found that the substituent of the aromatic ring plays a role of steric hindrance to the carbonate bond by being composed of the structural unit (B-1) represented by the above formula (B-1). It was also found that the polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin) in (mode 1) of the present invention is composed of the structural unit (A-1) represented by the above formula (A-1) and the structural unit (B-1) represented by the above formula (B-1) in a specific ratio, and has an excellent balance of scratch resistance, heat resistance and moldability while maintaining amine resistance.
[0211] In addition, in (mode 2), in order to suppress the reaction between the amine compound and the carbonate bond, it was found that the substituent of the aromatic ring plays a role of steric hindrance to the carbonate bond by being composed of the structural unit (A-2) represented by the above formula (A-2). It was also found that the polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin) in (mode 2) of the present invention is composed of the structural unit (A-2) represented by the above formula (A-2) and the structural unit (B-2) represented by the above formula (B-2) in a specific ratio, and has an excellent balance of scratch resistance, heat resistance and moldability while maintaining amine resistance.

When the glass transition temperature is at least the above lower limit, heat resistance is excellent, and when it is at most the above upper limit, molding is easy without excessively high molding temperature.
[0213] The polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin) of (Aspect 1) and (Aspect 2) of the present invention preferably has an indentation hardness of 200 to 400 (N / mm 2 ), more preferably 210 to 350 (N / mm 2 ), more preferably 220 to 300 (N / mm 2 ). If the indentation hardness is less than the above lower limit, the scratch resistance may be poor. If the indentation hardness exceeds the above upper limit, the material may become very brittle. The indentation hardness can be measured based on ISO / TS19278 by using a dynamic ultra-micro hardness tester (Shimadzu Corporation, model DUH-210S) to measure the relationship between load and indentation depth on the surface of the resin molded product in real time.
[0214] The polycarbonate copolymer (polycarbonate resin) of (Aspect 1) and (Aspect 2) of the present invention preferably has a pencil hardness of 3H or more measured in accordance with the scratch hardness (pencil method) described in JIS K5600-5-4. In the wear resistance test of "scratching" the surface of a molded product with a human fingernail, a pencil hardness of 3H or more is less likely to scratch, so it is preferred. The pencil hardness decreases in the order of 9H, 8H, 7H, 6H, 5H, 4H, 3H, 2H, H, F, HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, and 6B, with 9H being the hardest and 6B being the softest.
[0215] <Amine resistance and amine compounds used in polyurethane foam formation>
[0216] Regarding the polycarbonate copolymers (polycarbonate resins) of (Mode 1) and (Mode 2) of the present invention, when a soft polyurethane foam for a seat cushion material is cut into a shape of 50 mm in length and width and 5 mm in thickness, and is sealed in a glass sealed container together with a molded article of the polycarbonate copolymer, and left in a hot air dryer set at 85° C. for 1000 hours, if there is no change in the appearance of the test piece, it is preferred that the test piece has excellent amine resistance.
[0217] Polyurethane resin is usually produced by reacting polyol and polyisocyanate in the presence of a catalyst and a blowing agent, surfactant, flame retardant, crosslinking agent, etc. as required. Many metal compounds and tertiary amine compounds are known to be used as catalysts in the production of polyurethane resin. These catalysts are used in large quantities in industry by being used alone or in combination. In the production of polyurethane foam using water, low-boiling point organic compounds or both as blowing agents, tertiary amine compounds are particularly widely used among these catalysts from the perspective of excellent productivity and moldability. Examples of such tertiary amine compounds include conventionally known triethylenediamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylhexanediamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylpropylenediamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl)ether, N,N,N',N",N"-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, N,N',N'-trimethylaminoethylpiperazine, N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N-ethylmorpholine, and N,N-dimethylethanolamine.

In addition, a molding method using a hot runner method can also be used.
[0220] In addition, the polycarbonate resin of the present invention can also be obtained into a sheet-like or film-like molded product by a melt extrusion method, a solution casting method (casting method), and the like. The specific method of the melt extrusion method can be, for example, the following method: the polycarbonate resin is quantitatively supplied to an extruder, heated and melted, and the molten resin is extruded from the front end of a T-die onto a mirror-finished roller in a sheet-like shape, and is extracted while being cooled using a plurality of rollers, and is cut into an appropriate size or wound up at the time of solidification. The specific method of the solution casting method can be, for example, the following method: the polycarbonate resin is dissolved in dichloromethane, and the obtained solution (concentration 5% to 40%) is cast from a T-die onto a mirror-finished stainless steel plate, and the sheet is peeled off while passing through an oven with staged temperature control, and the solvent is removed, and then cooled and wound up.
[0221] Furthermore, the polycarbonate resin of the present invention can also be molded to form a laminate. As a method for preparing the laminate, any method can be used, and it is particularly preferred to use a thermocompression bonding method or a coextrusion method. As the thermocompression bonding method, any method can be used, and it is preferred to use, for example, a method of thermocompression bonding a polycarbonate resin sheet using a laminator or a press, and a method of thermocompression bonding immediately after extrusion. In particular, a method of continuously thermocompressing a polycarbonate resin sheet immediately after extrusion is industrially advantageous.
[0222] Furthermore, the polycarbonate copolymers (polycarbonate resins) of (Mode 1) and (Mode 2) of the present invention are used as automotive interior decoration parts due to their excellent scratch resistance, heat resistance, amine resistance and moldability.
