[0028] In the present invention, in addition to bisphenol A-based polycarbonate resins, which are general-purpose polycarbonate resins, special polycarbonate resins produced using other dihydric phenols can also be used as component A-1. For example, polycarbonate resins (homopolymers or copolymers) using 4,4'-(m-phenylene diisopropylidene)diphenol (sometimes referred to as "BPM"), 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane (sometimes referred to as "Bis-TMC"), 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene, and 9,9-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)fluorene (sometimes referred to as "BCF") as part or all of the dihydric phenol components are suitable for applications where dimensional changes due to water absorption and morphological stability are particularly stringent. These dihydric phenols other than BPA are preferably used in an amount of 5 mol% or more, and particularly preferably 10 mol% or more, of the total dihydric phenol components constituting the polycarbonate resin. In particular, when high rigidity and better hydrolysis resistance are required, the component A constituting the resin composition is preferably a copolymerized polycarbonate resin of the following (1) to (3).

[0036] Here, the water absorption of a polycarbonate resin is the value obtained by measuring the moisture content of a disc-shaped test piece having a diameter of 45 mm and a thickness of 3.0 mm after immersion in water at 23°C for 24 hours in accordance with ISO 62-1980. Furthermore, Tg (glass transition temperature) is the value determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with JIS K7121.

[0040] The content of the structural units derived from the polyfunctional aromatic compound in the branched polycarbonate resin is preferably 0.01 to 1 mol%, more preferably 0.05 to 0.9 mol%, and even more preferably 0.05 to 0.8 mol%, based on the total 100 mol% of the structural units derived from the dihydric phenol and the structural units derived from the polyfunctional aromatic compound. Furthermore, in the case of the melt transesterification method, branched structural units may be generated as a side reaction. The content of such branched structural units is also preferably 0.001 to 1 mol%, more preferably 0.005 to 0.9 mol%, and even more preferably 0.01 to 0.8 mol%, based on the total 100 mol% of the structural units derived from the dihydric phenol. 1 It was calculated by H-NMR measurement.
[0041] The aliphatic difunctional carboxylic acid is preferably an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid. Examples of preferred aliphatic difunctional carboxylic acids include 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. Difunctional alcohols are more preferably alicyclic diols, examples of which include cyclohexanedimethanol, cyclohexanediol, and tricyclodecanedimethanol.
[0042] Reaction forms such as interfacial polymerization, melt transesterification, carbonate prepolymer solid phase transesterification, and ring-opening polymerization of cyclic carbonate compounds as methods for producing the polycarbonate resin of the present invention are well known in various documents and Japanese Patent Publications.

Polycarbonate resins with a viscosity average molecular weight of less than 12,500 may not exhibit good mechanical properties. On the other hand, resin compositions obtained from polycarbonate resins with a viscosity average molecular weight exceeding 32,000 may have poor moldability.
[0044] The viscosity average molecular weight mentioned in the present invention is first determined by using an Ostwald viscometer from a solution of 0.7 g of polycarbonate dissolved in 100 ml of dichloromethane at 20° C. to obtain the specific viscosity (η) calculated from the following formula: SP ),
[0045] Specific viscosity (η SP )=(t-t0) / t0
[0046] [t0 is the dripping time of dichloromethane, t is the dripping time of the sample solution]
[0047] The specific viscosity (ηSP ) The viscosity average molecular weight M is calculated according to the following mathematical formula.
[0048] η SP / c=[η]+0.45×[η] 2 c (where [η] is the intrinsic viscosity)
[0049] [η] = 1.23 × 10 -4 M 0.83
[0050] c=0.7
[0051] The viscosity-average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin in the thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention is calculated according to the following procedure. Specifically, the composition is mixed with 20 to 30 times its weight of dichloromethane to dissolve the soluble components in the composition. The soluble components are collected by filtration using diatomaceous earth. The solvent in the resulting solution is then removed. The solid after solvent removal is thoroughly dried to obtain a solid containing the components soluble in dichloromethane. The specific viscosity at 20°C is determined from a solution prepared by dissolving 0.7 g of the solid in 100 ml of dichloromethane in the same manner as above, and the viscosity-average molecular weight M is calculated from this specific viscosity in the same manner as above.

[0070] The method of the oligomer formation reaction is not particularly limited, but is preferably a method in which the reaction is carried out in a solvent in the presence of an acid binder.
[0071] The ratio of the carbonate-forming compound to be used can be appropriately adjusted by taking into account the stoichiometric ratio (equivalent) of the reaction. In addition, when a gaseous carbonate-forming compound such as phosgene is used, it can be preferably blown into the reaction system.
[0072] As above-mentioned acid binding agent, for example, can use organic bases such as alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, alkali metal carbonate, pyridine or their mixture etc.The usage ratio of acid binding agent also suitably determines as long as the stoichiometric ratio (equivalent) of considering reaction is the same as above-mentioned.Specifically, preferably use 2 equivalents or than its slightly excessive acid binding agent with respect to the mole number (usually 1 mole is equivalent to 2 equivalents) of the dihydric phenol (I) that uses in the formation of oligomer.
[0073] As the solvent, any solvent inert to the reaction, such as solvents used in the production of known polycarbonates, may be used alone or in a mixture. Representative examples include hydrocarbon solvents such as xylene and halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as dichloromethane and chlorobenzene. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as dichloromethane are particularly preferred.
[0074] The reaction pressure for oligomer formation is not particularly limited and can be normal pressure, increased pressure, or reduced pressure. It is generally advantageous to conduct the reaction under normal pressure. The reaction temperature is selected from the range of -20 to 50°C. In many cases, water cooling or ice cooling is preferred due to the heat generated by polymerization. The reaction time is affected by other conditions and cannot be generalized, but it is generally 0.2 to 10 hours. The pH range for the oligomer formation reaction is the same as that for known interfacial reactions, and the pH is generally adjusted to above 10.
[0075] The present invention obtains a mixed solution containing oligomers of a dihydric phenol (I) having terminal chloroformate groups, and then, while stirring the mixed solution, a hydroxyaryl-terminated polydiorganosiloxane (II) represented by the general formula (3) having a highly purified molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of 3 or less is added to the dihydric phenol (I), and the hydroxyaryl-terminated polydiorganosiloxane (II) and the oligomer undergo interfacial polycondensation, thereby obtaining a polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer.
[0076]
[0077] (In the above general formula (3), R 3 、R 4 、R 5 、R 6 、R 7 and R 8 are each independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, R 9and R 10 Each is independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, p is a natural number, q is 0 or a natural number, and p+q is a natural number from 10 to 300. X is a divalent aliphatic group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
[0078] When carrying out interfacial polycondensation reaction, it is possible to consider the stoichiometric ratio (equivalent) of reaction and suitably add an acid binding agent. As acid binding agent, for example, organic bases such as alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, pyridine or their mixtures etc. can be used. Specifically, when the hydroxyaryl-terminated polydiorganosiloxane (II) to be used or a part for dihydric phenol (I) as mentioned above is added to this reaction stage as a post-addition monomer, preferably 2 equivalents or a alkali is used relative to the total molar number (usually 1 mole is equivalent to 2 equivalents) of the dihydric phenol (I) and the hydroxyaryl-terminated polydiorganosiloxane (II) of the post-addition part.
[0079] The polycondensation based on the interfacial polycondensation reaction between the oligomer of the dihydric phenol (I) and the hydroxyaryl-terminated polydiorganosiloxane (II) is carried out by vigorously stirring the mixed solution.
[0080] In the polymerization reaction, a terminal terminator or molecular weight regulator can generally be used. Examples of terminal terminators include compounds having monophenolic hydroxyl groups, such as phenol, p-tert-butylphenol, p-cumylphenol, and tribromophenol. Other examples include long-chain alkylphenols, aliphatic carboxylic acid chlorides, aliphatic carboxylic acids, alkyl hydroxybenzoates, hydroxyphenyl alkyl esters, and alkyl ether phenols. The amount of terminal terminators used is 100 to 0.5 moles, preferably 50 to 2 moles, based on 100 moles of all diphenolic compounds used. Two or more compounds may also be used in combination.
[0081] In order to promote the polycondensation reaction, a catalyst such as a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or a quaternary ammonium salt may be added.
[0082] The reaction time of the polymerization reaction is preferably 30 minutes or longer, more preferably 50 minutes or longer. A small amount of an antioxidant such as sodium sulfite or hydrogen sulfide may be added as needed.
[0083] A branching agent can be used in combination with the above-mentioned dihydric phenolic compound to produce a branched polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane. Examples of the trifunctional or higher polyfunctional aromatic compound used in the branched polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin include phloroglucinol, phloroglucinol, or 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)ethane, )-4-methylphenol, triphenols such as 4-{4-[1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]benzene}-α,α-dimethylbenzylphenol, tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, bis(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ketone, 1,4-bis(4,4-dihydroxytriphenylmethyl)benzene, or trimellitic acid, trimesic acid, benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid and acid chlorides thereof; among these, 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane and 1,1,1-tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane are preferred, and 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane is particularly preferred. The ratio of the polyfunctional compound in the branched polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin is preferably 0.001 to 1 mol%, more preferably 0.005 to 0.9 mol%, further preferably 0.01 to 0.8 mol%, and particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.4 mol% based on the total amount of the polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin. 1 It was calculated by H-NMR measurement.
[0084] The reaction pressure may be reduced pressure, normal pressure, or increased pressure, and is generally conducted at normal pressure or the autogenous pressure of the reaction system. The reaction temperature is selected from the range of -20 to 50°C. In many cases, water cooling or ice cooling is preferred due to the generation of heat associated with polymerization. The reaction time is affected by other conditions such as the reaction temperature and cannot be generalized, but is generally 0.5 to 10 hours.
[0085] The obtained polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin may be subjected to appropriate physical treatment (mixing, classification, etc.) and / or chemical treatment (polymerization reaction, crosslinking treatment, partial decomposition treatment, etc.) as needed to obtain the desired reduced viscosity [η SP / c] polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin.
[0086] The obtained reaction product (crude product) can be subjected to various post-treatments such as known separation and purification methods to recover a polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin having a desired purity (degree of purification).
[0087] The average size of the polydiorganosiloxane domains in polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin molded articles is preferably in the range of 1 to 40 nm. This average size is more preferably 1 to 30 nm, and even more preferably 5 to 25 nm. If the size is below the lower limit of this preferred range, sufficient impact resistance and flame retardancy may not be achieved. If the size exceeds the upper limit of this preferred range, impact resistance may not be stably achieved.
[0088] The average domain size and normalized dispersion of the polydiorganosiloxane domains in the polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin molded article of the present invention are evaluated using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). SAXS measures diffuse scattering and diffraction generated in a small-angle region with a scattering angle (2θ) less than 10°. In this SAXS method, if a substance contains regions approximately 1 to 100 nm in size with different electron densities, the difference in electron density is used to measure the diffuse scattering of X-rays. The particle size of the object being measured is determined based on the scattering angle and scattering intensity. In the case of a polycarbonate-polydiorganosiloxane copolymer resin having a condensed structure in which polydiorganosiloxane domains are dispersed within a polycarbonate polymer matrix, diffuse scattering of X-rays is generated by the difference in electron density between the polycarbonate matrix and the polydiorganosiloxane domains. The scattering intensity I at each scattering angle (2θ) within a range of less than 10° is measured, and the small-angle X-ray scattering distribution is measured. Assuming that the polydiorganosiloxane domain is a spherical domain and that there is a deviation in the particle size distribution, commercially available analytical software is used to simulate the assumed particle size and the assumed particle size distribution model to obtain the average size and particle size distribution (normalized dispersion) of the polydiorganosiloxane domain. According to the small-angle X-ray scattering method, the average size and particle size distribution of the polydiorganosiloxane domain dispersed in the matrix of the polycarbonate polymer, which cannot be accurately measured by transmission electron microscopy, can be measured with good accuracy, simplicity, and good reproducibility. The average domain size refers to the number average of the sizes of each domain. The normalized dispersion refers to a parameter that normalizes the width of the particle size distribution to the average size. Specifically, it is a value in which the dispersion of the polydiorganosiloxane domain size is normalized by the average domain size, and is represented by the following formula (1).
[0089] Normalized dispersion (%) = δ / D av …(1)
[0090] In the above formula (1), δ is the standard deviation of the polydiorganosiloxane domain size, and Dav is the average domain size.
[0091] The terms "average domain size" and "normalized dispersion" used in connection with the present invention represent values measured using the aforementioned small-angle X-ray scattering method on a 1.0 mm thick portion of a three-segment template produced by the method described in the Examples. Furthermore, analysis was performed using an independent particle model that does not consider inter-particle interactions (inter-particle interference).
[0092] <Component A-2: ABS resin>
[0093] The ABS resin used as the A-2 component of the present invention is a copolymer obtained by grafting acrylonitrile and styrene onto polybutadiene. As styrene, styrene and α-methylstyrene are particularly preferably used. The proportion of the above-mentioned component grafted onto the polybutadiene is preferably 95 to 20% by weight, and particularly preferably 90 to 50% by weight, in 100% by weight of the ABS resin component. In addition, with respect to the total amount of 100% by weight of the above-mentioned acrylonitrile and styrene, it is preferred that the acrylonitrile content is 5 to 50% by weight and the styrene content is 95 to 50% by weight. In addition, methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl acrylate, maleic anhydride, N-substituted maleimide, etc. can also be mixed with a portion of the components grafted onto the above-mentioned polybutadiene, and their content ratio in the ABS resin component is preferably 15% by weight or less. Furthermore, various conventionally known substances can be used as the initiator, chain transfer agent, emulsifier, etc. used in the reaction as needed. In the ABS resin of the present invention, the polybutadiene particle size is preferably 0.1 to 5.0 μm, more preferably 0.2 to 3.0 μm, and particularly preferably 0.3 to 1.5 μm. The polybutadiene particle size distribution may be either a single distribution or a distribution with two or more peaks. Morphologically, the particles may form a single phase or have a salami structure with an obscuring phase surrounding the particles. ABS resins are known to contain copolymers of acrylonitrile and styrene that are not grafted onto a diene rubber component. The ABS resin of the present invention may also contain free polymer components generated during such polymerization. The reduced viscosity (at 30°C) of the free copolymer of acrylonitrile and styrene is preferably 0.2 to 1.0 dl / g, more preferably 0.3 to 0.7 dl / g. The proportion of grafted acrylonitrile and styrene relative to the polybutadiene, expressed as a grafting ratio (weight %), is preferably 20 to 200%, more preferably 20 to 70%. The ABS resin can be manufactured by any of bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization, and emulsion polymerization, with bulk polymerization being particularly preferred. In the case of bulk polymerization, the resin composition is substantially free of alkali metal salts from emulsifiers, etc., and thus can maintain the thermal stability of the resin composition more effectively. Alternatively, the copolymerization method may be a single-step copolymerization or a multi-step copolymerization. Alternatively, a blend of a vinyl compound polymer obtained by copolymerizing acrylonitrile and styrene with the ABS resin obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method may be preferably used.
[0094] <Component A-3: Polyester resin>
[0095] The polyester resin used as the component A-3 of the present invention is preferably one in which 70 mol% or more of 100 mol% of the dicarboxylic acid components in the dicarboxylic acid components and diol components forming the polyester is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, more preferably 90 mol% or more, and most preferably 99 mol% or more.
[0096] Examples of such dicarboxylic acids include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, 2-chloroterephthalic acid, 2,5-dichloroterephthalic acid, 2-methylterephthalic acid, 4,4-stilbene dicarboxylic acid, 4,4-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid, phthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 2,7-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, dibenzoic acid, bis(p-carboxyphenyl)methane, anthracene dicarboxylic acid, 4,4-diphenyl ether dicarboxylic acid, 4,4-diphenoxyethane dicarboxylic acid, sodium 5-sulfoisophthalate, and ethylene bis(p-terephthalic acid). These dicarboxylic acids may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. In addition to the aromatic dicarboxylic acids described above, the polyester resin of the present invention may also be copolymerized with an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid component in an amount of less than 30 mol%. Specific examples include adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, dodecanedioic acid, 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, and 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid.
[0097] Examples of the diol component of the present invention include ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propylene glycol, trans- or cis-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol, 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, decamethylene glycol, cyclohexanediol, p-xylene glycol, bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, and tetrabromobisphenol A-bis(2-hydroxyethyl ether). These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The dihydric phenol in the diol component is preferably 30 mol% or less.
[0098] Specific examples of the polyester resin include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polybutylene naphthalate (PBN), polyethylene-1,2-bis(phenoxy)ethane-4,4′-dicarboxylate, and copolyester resins such as polyethylene isophthalate / polyethylene terephthalate copolymers and polybutylene terephthalate / polybutylene isophthalate copolymers.
[0099] The terminal group structure of the polyester resin used in the present invention is not particularly limited. In addition to the case where the ratio of hydroxyl groups to carboxyl groups in the terminal groups is approximately equal, it is also possible to have a larger ratio of one of the two. In addition, these terminal groups can also be capped by reacting them with reactive compounds.
[0100] The polyester resin production method used in the present invention is carried out by polymerizing a dicarboxylic acid component and the above-mentioned diol component while heating in the presence of a polycondensation catalyst containing titanium, germanium, antimony, etc., according to a conventional method, and discharging the by-product water or lower alcohol to the outside of the system. For example, as a germanium-based polymerization catalyst, examples include germanium oxides, hydroxides, halides, alkoxides, phenoxides, etc., and more specifically, examples include germanium oxide, germanium hydroxide, germanium tetrachloride, tetramethoxygermanium, etc. In addition, in the present invention, compounds such as manganese, zinc, calcium, and magnesium used in the ester exchange reaction, the previous stage of the conventionally known polycondensation, can also be used. After the ester exchange reaction is completed, the above-mentioned catalysts can be deactivated using a phosphoric acid or phosphorous acid compound, and then the polycondensation can be carried out. In addition, the polyester resin production method can also adopt either a batch method or a continuous polymerization method.
[0101] Among the above polyester resins, polyethylene terephthalate is particularly preferred. The polyethylene terephthalate of the present invention is a polymer obtained by polycondensation of terephthalic acid or its derivatives and 1,4-ethanediol or its derivatives, but also includes copolymers obtained by copolymerizing other dicarboxylic acid components and other alkylene glycol components as described above.
[0102] The terminal group structure of polyethylene terephthalate is the same as described above and is not particularly limited. It is more preferred that the terminal carboxyl group is less than the terminal hydroxyl group. In addition, the production method can also adopt the various methods described above, and the continuous polymerization method is preferred. This is because: its quality stability is high and it is also cost-effective. In addition, as a polymerization catalyst, an organic titanium compound is preferably used. The reason is that there is a tendency to have less influence on ester exchange reactions, etc. As the above-mentioned organic titanium compound, as preferred specific examples, titanium tetrabutoxide, titanium isopropoxide, titanium oxalate, titanium acetate, titanium benzoate, titanium trimellitate, the reaction product of tetrabutyl titanate and trimellitic anhydride, etc. can be cited. The amount of the organic titanium compound used is preferably such that the titanium atom is in a ratio of 3 to 12 mg atomic % relative to the acid component constituting polyethylene terephthalate.
[0103] The molecular weight of the polyester resin of the present invention is not particularly limited, but the intrinsic viscosity measured at 35° C. using o-chlorophenol as a solvent is preferably 0.5 to 1.5, particularly preferably 0.6 to 1.2.
[0104] <Component A-4: AS resin>

The AS resin can also be a copolymer with high stereoregularity, such as syndiotactic styrene, by using a catalyst such as a metallocene catalyst during its production. Furthermore, depending on the circumstances, polymers and copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions, block copolymers, and polymers and copolymers with high stereoregularity obtained by methods such as anionic living polymerization and free radical living polymerization can also be used.

[0108] <Component A-6: AAS resin>
[0109] The AAS resin used as the A-6 component of the present invention is a copolymer composed of acrylonitrile, styrene, and an acrylic rubber component.
[0110] <Component B: Phosphate ester metal salt>
[0111] The metal phosphate salts used in the present invention include those produced by a dry process, obtained by the direct reaction of a fatty acid with a metal oxide or a fatty acid with a metal hydroxide, and those produced by a wet process, in which a sodium salt of a fatty acid reacts with a metal salt in an aqueous solution. The fatty acid can have various combinations of 1 to 22 carbon atoms, with a fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms being more preferred. The most preferred metal phosphate salt is zinc stearyl acid phosphate. The acid value of the metal phosphate salt is 10 to 55 mgKOH / g, preferably 10 to 53 mgKOH / g, and more preferably 30 to 53 mgKOH / g. Acid values less than 10 mgKOH / g are impractical for production, while acid values greater than 55 mgKOH / g cannot prevent discoloration and strength loss during molding. The acid value is measured by indicator titration, titrating a solution of the metal phosphate salt in 2-ethylhexanol with an alcoholic KOH solution at 60°C. Phenolphthalein is used as the indicator.
[0112] The content of component B is 0.001 to 1 part by weight, preferably 0.01 to 0.1 part by weight, and more preferably 0.01 to 0.07 part by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of component A. If the content of component B is less than 0.001 part by weight or exceeds 1 part by weight, discoloration during molding and a decrease in strength cannot be prevented.
[0113] <Other ingredients>
[0114] The thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention may contain the following inorganic filler (component C), flame retardant (component D), anti-dripping agent (component E), and other additives within a range not impairing the purpose of the present invention.

[0117] The content of component C is preferably 1 to 150 parts by weight, more preferably 3 to 140 parts by weight, and even more preferably 5 to 130 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of component A. If the content of component C is less than 1 part by weight, sufficient rigidity may not be obtained, while if it exceeds 150 parts by weight, the strength and flame retardancy during molding may be reduced.
[0118] <C-1 component: glass fiber>
[0119] As the glass fiber used in the present invention, there is no particular limitation on the glass composition of A glass, C glass, E glass, etc., and they may contain components such as TiO2, SO3, P2O5 according to the circumstances. Among them, E glass (alkali-free glass) is more preferred when combined with a thermoplastic resin. In addition, two or more of these glass fibers may be used in combination. Glass fiber is a fiber made by rapidly cooling molten glass while stretching it using various methods and then forming it into a specified fibrous or ground shape. The rapid cooling and stretching conditions in the above-mentioned cases are also not particularly limited. In addition, the cross-sectional shape may be, in addition to a perfect circle, an elliptical, cocoon-shaped, trilobal, or other shapes other than a perfect circle. In addition, it may be a glass fiber obtained by mixing a perfect circle glass fiber with a glass fiber of a shape other than a perfect circle. Among them, a perfect circle glass fiber is more preferred.
[0120] In order to obtain a better mechanical strength, it is preferable to pre-treat these glass fibers with coupling agents such as isocyanate compounds, organosilane compounds, organotitanate compounds, organoborane compounds and epoxy compounds. The glass fiber used in the present invention preferably has a diameter (D) of 6 to 13 μm, a cut length (L) of 30 μm to 9 mm, and an L / D ratio of 2.3 to 1500.
[0121] <C-2; Plate glass filling material>
[0122] Examples of the plate-shaped glass filler include glass flakes, metal-coated glass flakes, and metal oxide-coated glass flakes.
[0123] The glass flakes that form the base of the plate-shaped glass filler are plate-shaped glass fillers manufactured by methods such as the cylinder blowing method and the sol-gel method. The size of the raw material of the glass flakes can also be selected from various sizes according to the degree of crushing and classification. The average particle size of the glass flakes used in the raw material is preferably 10 to 1000 μm, more preferably 20 to 500 μm, and even more preferably 30 to 300 μm. This is because glass flakes within this range are excellent in both handling and molding processability. Generally, plate-shaped glass fillers break during melt kneading with the resin, resulting in a smaller average particle size. The number average particle size of the plate-shaped glass filler in the thermoplastic resin composition is preferably 10 to 200 μm, more preferably 15 to 100 μm, and even more preferably 20 to 80 μm. It should be noted that the above number average particle size is a value calculated using an image analyzer from an optical microscope observation of the residue of the plate-shaped glass filler collected during processes such as high-temperature ashing, solvent dissolution, and reagent decomposition of the molded article. This value is calculated by not counting the lengths where the flake thickness is less than the standard value. The thickness is preferably 0.5 to 10 μm, more preferably 1 to 8 μm, and even more preferably 1.5 to 6 μm. Sheet glass fillers having the above number average particle size and thickness sometimes achieve excellent mechanical strength, appearance, and moldability.
[0124] The glass composition of the plate glass filling material can be applied to various glass compositions represented by A glass, C glass and E glass, etc., without special limitation. The above-mentioned glass filling material may also contain components such as TiO2, SO3 and P2O5 as needed. Among them, E glass (alkali-free glass) is more preferred. In addition, the plate glass filling material is preferred because the mechanical strength is improved after surface treatment using a well-known surface treatment agent, such as a silane coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent or an aluminate coupling agent. In addition, the plate glass filling material is preferably a plate glass filling material that has been subjected to a bundling treatment with an olefin resin, a styrene resin, an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, an epoxy resin and a polyurethane resin. The amount of the bundling agent attached to the bundled plate glass filling material is preferably 0.5 to 8 weight %, more preferably 1 to 4 weight % in 100 weight % of the plate glass filling material.
[0125] In addition, the plate-shaped glass filling material includes a plate-shaped glass filling material obtained by coating the surface of different types of materials. As the above-mentioned same type of materials, metals and metal oxides can be preferably exemplified. As metals, silver, copper, nickel and aluminum can be exemplified. In addition, as metal oxides, titanium oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, iron oxide, aluminum oxide and silicon oxide can be exemplified. The method for coating the surface of the above-mentioned different types of materials is not particularly limited, and for example, various known plating methods (for example, electroplating, electroless plating, hot dip plating, etc.), vacuum evaporation method, ion plating method, CVD method (for example, thermal CVD, MOCVD, plasma CVD, etc.), PVD method and sputtering method can be cited.
[0126] <Component C-3: Fibrous carbon filler>
[0127] Examples of fibrous carbon fillers include carbon fibers, metal-coated carbon fibers, milled carbon fibers, vapor-grown carbon fibers, and carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes may have a fiber diameter of 0.003 to 0.1 μm and may be single-layer, double-layer, or multi-layer, preferably multi-layer (so-called MWCNTs). Carbon fibers and metal-coated carbon fibers are preferred due to their excellent mechanical strength and ability to impart good electrical conductivity. Good electrical conductivity has become one of the important properties required of resin materials in recent digital precision instruments (e.g., digital still cameras).
[0128] As carbon fibers, any of cellulose-based, polyacrylonitrile-based, and pitch-based fibers can be used. In addition, carbon fibers obtained by a method that performs spinning without a non-melting process represented by a method of spinning or molding a raw material composition composed of a polymer based on a methylene bond of an aromatic sulfonic acid or its salt and a solvent, followed by carbonization, can also be used. In addition, any of a general-purpose type, a medium elastic modulus type, and a high elastic modulus type can be used. Among them, a polyacrylonitrile-based high elastic modulus type is particularly preferred. In addition, the average fiber diameter of the carbon fibers is not particularly limited, but is generally 3 to 15 μm, preferably 5 to 13 μm. Carbon fibers that maintain an average fiber diameter within the above range can sometimes exhibit good mechanical strength and fatigue properties without damaging the appearance of the molded article. In addition, the preferred fiber length of the carbon fibers is 60 to 500 μm, preferably 80 to 400 μm, and particularly preferably 100 to 300 μm, based on the number average fiber length in the thermoplastic resin composition. It should be noted that the above-mentioned number average fiber length is a value calculated by optical microscope observation or other image analysis equipment from the carbon fiber residue collected during treatments such as high-temperature incineration of the molded product, dissolution with a solvent, and decomposition with a reagent. Furthermore, this value is calculated by not counting the length values below the fiber length. The aspect ratio of the carbon fiber is preferably in the range of 10 to 200, more preferably in the range of 15 to 100, and even more preferably in the range of 20 to 50. The aspect ratio refers to the value obtained by dividing the average fiber length by the average fiber diameter.
[0129] Furthermore, in order to improve adhesion with the matrix resin and mechanical strength, the surface of the carbon fiber is preferably subjected to an oxidation treatment. The oxidation treatment method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include: (1) a method of treating the fibrous carbon filler with an acid, an alkali, or a salt thereof, or an oxidizing gas; (2) a method of calcining the fiber or fibrous carbon filler that can become the fibrous carbon filler at a temperature of 700°C or higher in the presence of an inert gas containing an oxygen-containing compound; and (3) a method of heat-treating the fibrous carbon filler in the presence of an inert gas after the oxidation treatment.
[0130] Metal-coated carbon fibers are carbon fibers having a metal layer coated on the surface of the carbon fibers. Examples of the metal include silver, copper, nickel, and aluminum. Nickel is preferred from the perspective of corrosion resistance of the metal layer. As a method for coating with metal, various methods described above for surface coating of different types of materials in the plate-shaped glass filler can be used. Among them, plating is preferred. In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned metal-coated carbon fibers, the carbon fibers cited as the above-mentioned carbon fibers can be used as the starting raw materials. The thickness of the metal coating layer is preferably 0.1 to 1 μm, more preferably 0.15 to 0.5 μm. More preferably, it is 0.2 to 0.35 μm.

When the polytetrafluoroethylene contained is not branched polytetrafluoroethylene, the anti-drip effect when a small amount of polytetrafluoroethylene is added becomes insufficient. The branched polytetrafluoroethylene is in granular form and has a particle size of preferably 0.1 to 0.6 μm, more preferably 0.3 to 0.5 μm, and further preferably 0.3 to 0.4 μm. Although the surface appearance of the molded article is excellent when the particle size is less than 0.1 μm, polytetrafluoroethylene with a particle size of less than 0.1 μm is difficult to obtain commercially. In addition, when the particle size is greater than 0.6 μm, the surface appearance of the molded article sometimes deteriorates. The number average molecular weight of the polytetrafluoroethylene used in the present invention is preferably 1×10 4 ~1×10 7 , more preferably 2×10 6 ~9×10 6 Generally, high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene is more preferred in terms of stability. It can be used in the form of powder or dispersion.
[0211] The content of branched polytetrafluoroethylene in the coated branched PTFE is preferably 20 to 60 parts by weight, more preferably 40 to 55 parts by weight, further preferably 47 to 53 parts by weight, particularly preferably 48 to 52 parts by weight, and most preferably 49 to 51 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total weight of the coated branched PTFE. When the proportion of the branched polytetrafluoroethylene is within the above range, good dispersibility of the branched polytetrafluoroethylene may be achieved.
[0212] The content of component E is preferably 0.05 to 3 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of component A, more preferably 0.1 to 2 parts by weight, and even more preferably 0.2 to 1.5 parts by weight. If it is greater than this range, not only will the cost increase, but also the extrusion processability may become insufficient. On the other hand, if it is less than this range, the flame retardancy may become insufficient and the tensile strength may also decrease. It should be noted that the ratio of the above-mentioned component E represents the net content of the anti-dripping agent. In the case of PTFE in a mixed form, it represents the net content of PTFE.
[0213] <Production of Thermoplastic Resin Composition>
[0214] Any method may be employed to produce the thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention. For example, the following method may be employed: Component A, Component B, and any other components are thoroughly mixed using a premixing mechanism such as a V-type mixer, a Henschel mixer, a mechanochemical device, or an extrusion mixer; the premix is then pelletized using an extrusion pelletizer, a briquetting machine, or the like, as needed; the premix is then melt-kneaded using a melt-kneading machine such as a vented twin-screw extruder; and the mixture is pelletized using a pelletizer.
[0215] In addition, there are also methods of independently supplying each component to a melt kneader such as a vented twin-screw extruder, and methods of pre-mixing a portion of each component and then supplying the components to a melt kneader independently of the remaining components. Examples of methods of pre-mixing a portion of each component include a method in which components other than component A are pre-mixed and then mixed with the thermoplastic resin of component A or directly supplied to an extruder.
[0216] For example, when a powdered component is included as component A, a method for premixing can be used: a portion of the powder is blended with the additive to be formulated to create a powder-diluted additive masterbatch, and the masterbatch can be used. Alternatively, a method can be used in which one component is independently fed midway into a melt extruder. If a liquid component is included in the formulated components, a so-called liquid injection device or liquid addition device can be used to feed the melt extruder.
[0217] As an extruder, it is possible to preferably use a device having an exhaust port that can degas the moisture in the raw material, the volatile gas produced by the melt-mixed resin. It is preferred to be provided with a vacuum pump for efficiently discharging moisture and volatile gas to the outside of the extruder from the exhaust port. In addition, a wire mesh for removing foreign matter mixed into the extruded raw material, etc., can also be provided in the region before the extruder die portion, to remove foreign matter from the resin combination. As the above-mentioned wire mesh, metal mesh, screen changer, sintered metal plate (disc filter etc.) etc. can be enumerated.
[0218] Examples of the melt kneading machine include a Banbury mixer, a kneading roll, a single-screw extruder, and a multi-screw extruder having three or more screws, in addition to a twin-screw extruder.
[0219] The extruded resin as described above is directly cut and pelletized, or the strands are formed and then cut and pelletized using a pelletizer. When it is necessary to reduce the influence of external dust and the like during pelletization, it is preferred to clean the atmosphere around the extruder. Furthermore, in the manufacture of the above-mentioned pellets, various methods that have been proposed in the polycarbonate resin for optical discs can be used to appropriately narrow the shape distribution of the pellets, reduce the amount of erroneously cut products, reduce the amount of fine powder generated during transportation or conveying, and reduce the amount of bubbles (vacuum bubbles) generated inside the strands and pellets. Through these treatment methods, it is possible to achieve high molding cycles and reduce the proportion of defects such as silver streaks. In addition, the shape of the pellets can be a general shape such as a cylinder, a prism, and a sphere, and is more preferably a cylinder. The diameter of the cylinder is preferably 1 to 5 mm, more preferably 1.5 to 4 mm, and even more preferably 2 to 3.3 mm. On the other hand, the length of the cylinder is preferably 1 to 30 mm, more preferably 2 to 5 mm, and even more preferably 2.5 to 3.5 mm.
[0220] <Molded products>
[0221] The thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention can be manufactured into various products by injection molding the pellets usually obtained by the above method. In the above injection molding, not only the usual molding method can be used, but also injection molding methods such as injection compression molding, injection stamping molding, gas-assisted injection molding, foam molding (including molding based on injection of supercritical fluid), insert molding, in-mold coating molding, heat-insulating metal mold molding, rapid heating and cooling metal mold molding, two-color molding, sandwich molding and ultra-high-speed injection molding can be used to obtain molded products according to the purpose. The advantages of these various molding methods are well known. In addition, molding can select any one of the cold runner method and the hot runner method.
[0222] The present inventors believe that the best embodiment of the present invention currently includes the preferred ranges of the above-mentioned requirements, and representative examples thereof are described in the following examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0223] Example
[0224] The present invention will be further described below with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Evaluations were conducted on the following items.
[0225] (i) Discoloration during retention
[0226] The pellets obtained from each composition in the examples were dried in a hot air dryer at 100°C for 5 hours and then injected 100 times into 150 mm × 150 mm × 2 mm square plaques using an injection molding machine (Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. SG150U·S-MIV) at the temperatures shown in the table. The molding machine was then interrupted to allow the resin to remain in the barrel. After 15 minutes, the square plaques were molded again. The hue of the plaques before and after the retention period was measured using a Tokyo Denshoku color analyzer TC-1800MKII, and the color difference (ΔE) before and after the retention period was calculated.
[0227] (ii) Strength retention during retention
[0228] A high-speed surface impact test was conducted using the square plate used in "(i) Discoloration during Retention." The fracture energy of the square plate was measured before and after retention, and the strength retention before and after retention was calculated using the following formula. The measurement was conducted using a Hydroshot HTM-1 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation at 23°C and a test speed of 7 m / s.
[0229] Strength retention (%) = [fracture energy after retention / fracture energy before retention] × 100
[0230] (iii) Recyclability
[0231] The square plates used in "(i) Discoloration during Retention" were left horizontally outdoors in Midori-ku, Chiba City, for one year before being crushed and remolded into square plates. The hue and breaking energy of the unused and remolded square plates were measured using the same methods as for "(i) Discoloration during Retention" and "(ii) Strength Retention during Retention," and the color difference (ΔE) and strength retention were calculated.
[0232] (iv) Flame retardancy
[0233] Pellets obtained from the compositions of the examples were dried in a hot air dryer at 100°C for 5 hours. UL test pieces, 1.5 mm thick, were then continuously molded using an injection molding machine (Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. SG150U·S-MIV) at the temperatures shown in the table. Based on the UL94 method, these were classified as V-0, V-1, V-2, and HB. In cases where flammability was so poor that it did not fit any of the classifications, "Not-V" was indicated. Note that flame retardancy must be classified as V-0, V-1, V-2, or HB.
[0234] (v) Flexural modulus
[0235] The flexural modulus value was measured using the test piece before retention used in "(i) Strength retention during retention".

It should be noted that the glass fiber, plate-shaped glass filler, and fibrous carbon filler in the inorganic filler were supplied from the second supply port, and the other components were supplied from the first supply port. The extrusion conditions were a discharge rate of 20 kg / h, a screw speed of 150 rpm, an exhaust vacuum of 3 kPa, and an extrusion temperature of the temperature shown in the table. The obtained pellets were used to form test pieces for evaluation using an injection molding machine using the above method. The evaluation results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

[0241] A reactor equipped with a thermometer, a stirrer, and a reflux cooler was charged with 4229 parts of a 48% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and 20,000 parts of ion-exchanged water. 2191 parts of 1,1-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane (hereinafter abbreviated as Bis-1), 1951 parts of bisphenol A, and 8.3 parts of sodium dithionite were dissolved therein. 11,620 parts of dichloromethane were then added, and 2200 parts of phosgene were blown into the mixture at 15-25°C over approximately 60 minutes while stirring. After the phosgene blowing was completed, 704 parts of a 48% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and 102 parts of p-tert-butylphenol were added, and the mixture was stirred again. After emulsification, 4.32 parts of triethylamine was added, and the mixture was further stirred at 28-33°C for 1 hour to terminate the reaction. After the reaction is complete, the product is diluted with dichloromethane and washed with water. The solution is then acidified with hydrochloric acid and washed with water. This water washing is repeated until the conductivity of the aqueous phase is approximately equal to that of ion-exchanged water, yielding a dichloromethane solution of polycarbonate resin. This solution is then passed through a 0.3 μm filter and added dropwise to warm water in a kneader equipped with an isolation chamber and a foreign matter removal port in the bearing. The dichloromethane is then distilled off, resulting in the formation of polycarbonate resin flakes. The liquid-containing flakes are then pulverized and dried to yield a powder.
