Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to resin compositions and molded articles. Background Technology

[0002] In addition to excellent electrical insulation, polyphenylene ether resins also possess heat resistance, hydrolysis resistance, and flame retardancy, making them widely used in household appliances, office automation (OA) equipment, and automotive parts. For materials used in these applications, high flame retardancy is required due to fire hazards. Polyphenylene ether resins achieve flame retardancy by adding phosphorus compounds without using halogens, thus increasing their value from a safety perspective.

[0003] In addition, recent years have seen advancements in component miniaturization and structural complexity. These materials also require good flowability (processability) and mechanical properties during injection molding.

[0004] In contrast, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a polyphenylene ether resin composition with excellent flowability and molding processability.

[0127] The acid value of the aromatic condensed phosphate compound is more preferably 0.1 or less (based on the value obtained from JIS K2501).

[0128] ((b) Polyarylate resin ((b) component))

[0129] The resin composition of this embodiment contains (b) polyarylate resin ((b) component).

[0130] In this embodiment, (b) polyarylate resin ((b) component) refers to a polymer whose structural unit contains aromatic rings and ester bonds, and is also known as polyarylate.

[0131] As a polyaryl ester resin, a polyaryl ester having repeating units represented by the following general formula (IV) composed of bisphenol A and terephthalic acid and / or isophthalic acid may be used appropriately.

[0132] [Chemistry 6]

[0133]

[0134] In addition, commercially available products can be used as the polyarylate resin used as component (b), such as the product "U Polymer" manufactured by Unitika.

[0135] As for the molecular weight of (b) the polyaryl ester resin, the number-average molecular weight converted from polystyrene by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is preferably 5,000 to 300,000, more preferably 10,000 to 300,000, and even more preferably 10,000 to 100,000. When the number-average molecular weight of the polyaryl ester resin is 5,000 or higher, it tends to have good heat resistance of the molded article and improved mechanical strength of the resin; when it is 300,000 or lower, it tends to have good flowability of the resin.

[0136] Regarding the conversion of polystyrene's number-average molecular weight, specifically, it is determined using GPC with chloroform as the solvent at a column temperature of 40°C, based on the detection time-molecular weight curve of standard polystyrene previously measured under the same conditions. At this point, the concentration of the chloroform solution of the polyarylate resin is 1 g / L. Furthermore, regarding the detector, an ultraviolet absorption detector is preferably used for measurement at approximately 280 nm.

[0137] ((c) Elastomer ((c) Components))

[0138] The resin composition of this embodiment may further include (c) an elastomer.

[0139] As a preferred elastomer (c), it is a block copolymer of an aromatic vinyl compound (e.g., styrene) and a conjugated diene compound, and more preferably a hydrogenated block copolymer obtained by hydrogenating the above block copolymer. It should be noted that, as described above, the styrene compounds in the elastomer are not included in component (a-2).

[0140] From the perspective of heat resistance stability, the hydrogenation rate (hydrogenation rate) of the unsaturated bonds from the conjugated diene compound due to hydrogenation is preferably 60% or more, more preferably 80% or more, and even more preferably 95% or more.

[0141] As a block copolymer structure before hydrogenation, if the block copolymer is a block copolymer of styrene and a conjugated diene compound, and the styrene block chain is represented as S and the diene block chain is represented as B, examples include SBS, SBSB, (SB-)4-S, SBSBS, etc.

[0142] Furthermore, the microstructure of the polymer blocks of the conjugated diene compound (the bonding mode of the conjugated diene compound) can be arbitrarily selected. Relative to the overall bonding amount of the conjugated diene compound polymer (the sum of 1,2-vinyl bonds, 3,4-vinyl bonds, and 1,4-conjugated bonds), the vinyl bonding amount of the polymer blocks of the conjugated diene compound (the sum of 1,2-vinyl bonds and 3,4-vinyl bonds) is preferably 2 to 60%, more preferably 8 to 40%.

[0143] (c) The number average molecular weight of component (c) is preferably 100,000 to 400,000, more preferably 150,000 to 350,000, and even more preferably 200,000 to 300,000. When the number average molecular weight of component (c) is 100,000 or higher, it becomes a resin composition with superior impact resistance. Furthermore, when the number average molecular weight of component (c) is 400,000 or lower, it becomes a resin composition with superior flowability.

[0144] Specifically, the number-average molecular weight of polystyrene can be calculated using GPC with chloroform as the solvent, at a column temperature of 40°C, based on the detection time-molecular weight curve of a standard polystyrene previously measured under the same conditions.

[0145] (c) When the component has styrene polymer block chains, it is preferable that the number average molecular weight of at least one styrene polymer block chain is 15,000 or more. More preferably, the number average molecular weight of at least one styrene polymer block chain is 20,000 to 50,000. Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the number average molecular weight of all styrene polymer block chains is 15,000 or more.

[0146] (c) When the component has styrene polymer block chains, as long as the number average molecular weight of the styrene polymer block chains is within the above range, the proportion of the styrene polymer block chains in component (c) is not particularly limited. From the perspective of impact resistance, it is preferably 10 to 70% by mass, more preferably 20 to 50% by mass, and even more preferably 30 to 40% by mass.

[0147] As component (c), two or more hydrogenated block copolymers with different compositions or structures may be used together. Examples include the use of hydrogenated block copolymers with a bonded styrene polymer block content of 50% by mass or more and hydrogenated block copolymers with a bonded styrene polymer block content of 30% by mass or less; the use of hydrogenated block copolymers with different molecular weights; the use of block copolymers of styrene and conjugated diene compounds as described above; and the use of hydrogenated random block copolymers obtained by hydrogenating block copolymers containing random copolymer blocks of styrene and conjugated diene compounds.

[0148] It should be noted that "bonded styrene polymer block content" refers to the proportion of styrene polymer block chains in component (c).

[0149] ((d) compatibilizer ((d) component))

[0150] From the perspective of dispersing component (b) within component (a), the resin composition of this embodiment may further include compatibilizer (d). By including component (d) in the resin composition of this embodiment, a resin composition with superior anti-dripping and impact resistance is obtained.

[0151] Examples of compatibilizers (d) include, but are not limited to, styrene copolymers having glycidyl groups.

[0152] There is no limitation on the type of styrene copolymer containing glycidyl groups; for example, copolymers of unsaturated monomers containing glycidyl groups and styrene monomers can be cited.

[0153] Examples of unsaturated monomers containing a glycidyl group include unsaturated glycidyl esters of carboxylic acids and unsaturated glycidyl ethers. Examples of unsaturated glycidyl esters of carboxylic acids include glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, and itaconic acid monoglycidyl ester. Examples of unsaturated glycidyl ethers include vinyl glycidyl ether, allyl glycidyl ether, 2-methylallyl glycidyl ether, and glycidyl methacrylate ether.

[0154] Examples of styrene monomers include styrene, methylstyrene, dimethylstyrene, and ethylstyrene.

[0155] These styrene copolymers with glycidyl groups can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0156] In the above-mentioned styrene copolymers, from the viewpoint of improving the miscibility with component (a), the styrene monomer unit preferably contains 65% by weight or more, more preferably 75% to 95% by weight.

[0161] (Content of each component)

[0162] In the resin composition of this embodiment, the amounts of component (a-3) and component (b) are 5 to 40 parts by mass and 1 to 12 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of component (a-1) or the total of 100 parts by mass of component (a-1) and component (a-2).

[0163] As a component of component (a), it can be a mixed resin of components (a-1) and (a-2) and component (a-3), or it can be components (a-1) and (a-3).

[0164] (a) In the case of a mixed resin consisting of components (a-1) and (a-2), regarding the amounts of components (a-1) and (a-2), in a total of 100 parts by mass of components (a-1) and (a-2), it is preferable that component (a-1) is 45 to 85 parts by mass and component (a-2) is 15 to 55 parts by mass; more preferably, component (a-1) is 50 to 75 parts by mass and component (a-2) is 25 to 50 parts by mass; even more preferably, component (a-1) is 50 to 70 parts by mass and component (a-2) is 30 to 50 parts by mass. If the amount of component (a-1) is 45 parts by mass or more in a total of 100 parts by mass of components (a-1) and (a-2), it tends to have better anti-dripping properties; if it is 85 parts by mass or less, it tends to have better flowability.

[0165] As described above, the amount of component (a-3) is 5 to 40 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of component (a-1) or the total of 100 parts by mass of components (a-1) and (a-2).

Relative to 100 parts by mass of component (a-1) or 100 parts by mass of the total of components (a-1) and (a-2), the amount of component (b) is preferably 1.5 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 2 to 8 parts by mass, and even more preferably 2 to 5 parts by mass. If the amount of component (b) is 1 part by mass or more, the resin composition tends to have better anti-dripping properties; if it is 12 parts by mass or less, the resin composition tends to have better flowability and impact resistance.

[0167] Furthermore, considering excellent flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties, in 100 parts by weight of the resin composition of this embodiment, the amount of component (a) is preferably 70 to 99 parts by weight, more preferably 75 to 99 parts by weight, and even more preferably 80 to 99 parts by weight.

By adopting the above-described manner, the content of crystalline resin that easily drips in the temperature range above the melting point can be suppressed, resulting in excellent flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties of the resin composition.

[0168] When component (c) is included, the amount of component (c) is preferably 50 parts by mass or less, more preferably 40 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 30 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of component (a-1) or the total of 100 parts by mass of components (a-1) and (a-2). If the amount of component (c) is 50 parts by mass or less, the flame retardancy of the resin composition tends to be more superior. When component (c) is included, the total amount of components (a), (b), and (c) in 100 parts by mass of the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably 80 to 100 parts by mass, more preferably 85 to 100 parts by mass, and even more preferably 90 to 100 parts by mass. By adopting the above-described manner, the flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties are excellent.

[0169] When component (d) is included, the amount of component (d) is preferably 8 parts by mass or less, more preferably 5 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 3 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of component (a-1) or the total of 100 parts by mass of components (a-1) and (a-2).

When component (d) is included, the total amount of components (a), (b), and (d) in 100 parts by mass of the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably 70 to 100 parts by mass, more preferably 75 to 100 parts by mass, and even more preferably 80 to 100 parts by mass. By adopting the above-described manner, flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties are excellent.

[0170] When components (c) and (d) are included, the total amount of components (a), (b), (c), and (d) in 100 parts by weight of the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably 80 to 100 parts by weight, more preferably 85 to 100 parts by weight, and even more preferably 90 to 100 parts by weight.

If the amount of other flame retardants is 40 parts by mass or less, it tends to have excellent flowability and appearance.

[0172] The total amount of the above-mentioned additives relative to 100% by mass in the resin composition is preferably 15% by mass or less, more preferably 10% by mass or less, and even more preferably 5% by mass or less.

[0173] (Method for manufacturing the resin composition)

[0174] The resin composition of this embodiment can be manufactured, for example, by melt-blending components (a) and (b) and optionally components (c) and (d) using a twin-screw extruder.

[0175] Examples of twin-screw extruders include the "ZSK" series manufactured by Coperon Corporation, the "TEM" series manufactured by Toshiba Machine Corporation, and the "TEX" series manufactured by Nippon Steel.

[0176] The melt mixing temperature and screw speed in the method for manufacturing the resin composition of this embodiment can be appropriately selected from the range of melt mixing temperature of 200 to 370°C and screw speed of 100 to 1200 rpm.

[0177] Examples of feed devices for supplying raw materials to a twin-screw extruder include loss-in-weight feeders, single-screw feeders, twin-screw feeders, benchtop feeders, and rotary feeders. Among these, loss-in-weight feeders are preferred from the perspective of minimizing the variation error in raw material supply.

[0178] When supplying liquid raw materials, a liquid feed pump or similar device can be used in the extruder barrel section to directly feed the liquid raw materials into the barrel system for mixing. The feed pump is not particularly limited; examples include gear pumps and flange pumps. Among these, a gear pump is preferred. Furthermore, it is even more preferable to use a heater or similar device to heat the parts of the liquid raw material flow path, such as the tank pre-stored for the feed pump, the piping between the tank and the pump, and the piping between the pump and the extruder barrel. This reduces the viscosity of the liquid raw material, thus reducing the load applied to the feed pump, which is preferable from an operability perspective.

[0179] (use)

[0180] The resin composition of this embodiment can be used as a material for, for example, electrical and electronic components, home appliances, and OA equipment.

[0182] The molded article of this embodiment comprises the resin composition of this embodiment. Because the molded article of this embodiment comprises the resin composition of this embodiment, it exhibits excellent flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties during combustion.

[0183] A molded article can be prepared by molding the resin composition of this embodiment.

[0184] As for molding methods, known molding methods such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion molding, sheet molding, and film molding can be used, with injection molding being particularly preferred. As for injection molding machines, examples include the "PS-40" manufactured by Nissei Resin Kogyo Co., Ltd.

[0185] The melting temperature and mold temperature in the molding method of the resin composition of this embodiment can be appropriately selected from the range of melting temperature 150 to 350°C and mold temperature 5 to 150°C.

[0186] Molded parts can be used in various forms and can be applied in a wide range of fields such as industrial components, electrical and electronic components, office equipment housings, automotive parts, and precision components.

[0210] Small injection molding machine: Manufactured by TOSHIBA MACHINE, "EC75SXII"; manufactured by Nissei Resin Kogyo, trade name "PS-40".

[0211] <Evaluation Methods>

[0212] The resin compositions obtained in the examples and comparative examples were evaluated using the methods and conditions described below.

[0213] ((a-1) number average molecular weight)

[0214] The granules of the resin compositions obtained in the examples and comparative examples were determined using a gel permeation chromatography (LC-2030C Plus, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). Calibration curves were prepared using standard polystyrene and ethylbenzene, and the number-average molecular weight (Mn) was determined using these calibration curves. Polystyrene with molecular weights of 3,650,000, 2,170,000, 1,090,000, 681,000, 204,000, 52,000, 30,200, 13,800, 3,360, 1,300, and 550 were used as standard polystyrene. A column consisting of two K-805L columns manufactured by Showa Denko Corporation connected in series was used. Chloroform was used as the solvent, and the determination was performed at a solvent flow rate of 1.0 mL / min and a column temperature of 40°C. A 1 g / L chloroform solution was prepared and used as the test sample. Regarding the wavelength of the UV in the detection section, it is set to 254nm when measuring standard polystyrene, and to 283nm when measuring component (a-1).

[0215] ((a) Glass transition temperature of the composition)

[0216] The resin composition granules obtained in the examples and comparative examples were measured using a DSC measuring instrument manufactured by Perkin Elmer. The glass transition temperature was determined by heating from 50°C to 300°C at a heating rate of 20°C per minute in a nitrogen atmosphere, then cooling to 50°C at a heating rate of 20°C per minute, and then heating back up at a heating rate of 20°C per minute.

[0217] (Molding Flowability)

[0218] Molding fluidity is evaluated by measuring the melt flow rate.

[0219] After pre-drying the resin composition granules obtained in the examples and comparative examples at 80°C for 1 hour, the melt flow rate (MFR) (g / 10 min) was measured at 250°C and 10 kg according to ISO 1133. The higher the measured value, the better the molding fluidity.

[0220] (Impact resistance)

[0221] Impact resistance is evaluated by measuring the impact strength of the chapped metal.

[0222] The resin compositions obtained in the examples and comparative examples were fed into a coaxial screw-type injection molding machine (manufactured by TOSHIBA MACHINE, “EC75SXII”) set at 220–280°C, and injection molded at a mold temperature of 60–80°C, thereby producing test pieces of the dimensions specified by the ISO-179 standard.

[0223] Using this test piece, the chevron impact strength (kJ / m²) was determined according to ISO-179 using a notched method. 2 The higher the measured value, the better the impact resistance. For example, 10 kJ / m... 2 The above exhibit excellent impact resistance.

[0224] (Flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties)

[0225] Flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties were evaluated using injection-molded test pieces with a thickness of 1.5–3.0 mm based on the UL94-5V test (long strip sample).

[0226] The resin composition granules obtained in the examples and comparative examples were dried at 80°C for 1 hour. Using the dried granules, they were fed into a coaxial screw-type injection molding machine (manufactured by Nissei Resin Kogyo, trade name "PS-40") set at 185 to 300°C, and injection molded at a mold temperature of 20 to 40°C, thereby producing strip samples with dimensions (length 125 mm × width 13 mm × thickness 1.5 to 3.0 mm) as specified in this standard.

[0227] It should be noted that higher fluidity and thinner strip samples are more prone to dripping; therefore, the thickness of the strip sample needs to be adjusted to accommodate increased fluidity. The thickness of the strip sample is as follows: 2.0 mm for samples with an MFR (g / 10min) less than 20 g / 10min, 2.5 mm for samples with an MFR (g / 10min) greater than 20 g / 10min but less than 35 g / 10min, and 3.0 mm for samples with an MFR (g / 10min) greater than 35 g / 10min.

[0228] The test pieces were brought into contact with a gas lamp flame, and the degree of combustion was evaluated. Five strip samples were tested to determine whether they passed the test. A summary of the pass / fail criteria is shown below.

[0229] Acceptable: In all 5 strip samples, the total burning time and luminescence time after the 5th contact with the flame were less than 60 seconds, and no degreased cotton ignited due to detached material from the strip sample.

[0230] Non-compliant: A fire occurred in the absorbent cotton due to detachment from the bar sample.

[0231] <Preparation of Resin Compositions>

[0232] (Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-8)

[0233] Components (a) to (d) were fed into a twin-screw extruder with the compositions shown in Table 1 or Table 2, and melt-blended at an extrusion temperature of 280–320°C, a screw speed of 300 rpm, and a discharge rate of 15 kg / h to obtain granules of the resin compositions of each example and comparative example. The twin-screw extruder was configured as follows: it had 12 barrel sections, with an upstream feed port in the first barrel, a liquid pump in the seventh barrel, and vacuum exhaust ports in the fifth and eleventh barrels, starting from the upstream of the feed material flow direction.

[0234] It should be noted that only component (a-3-1) of components (a), (b), (c) and (d) is supplied from the dispensing pump, and the others are supplied from the upstream supply port.

[0235] The composition and evaluation results of the resin compositions prepared for each example and comparative example are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0236]

[0237]

[0238] As can be seen from the above, the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 10 have excellent flame retardancy, anti-dripping properties during combustion, and flowability. The resin compositions of this embodiment can be molded into molded articles with excellent flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties during combustion.
