Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a laminate comprising an acrylic resin film, a molded body comprising the laminate, and a method for producing the molded body. BACKGROUND

[0002] An acrylic resin film molded from an acrylic resin composition containing an elastomer is applied to various uses because it exhibits excellent properties such as transparency, hardness, weather resistance, and secondary moldability. As the uses of the acrylic resin film, for example, there are decorative and protective uses as a coating alternative for interior and exterior parts of vehicles, decorative and protective uses for exterior parts of electronic devices such as portable electronic devices, personal computers, and home appliances, and uses as building materials, and the like.

[0003] When an acrylic resin film is used in the decoration and protection of interior and exterior parts of vehicles, and electronic devices such as portable electronic devices, personal computers, and home appliances, sufficient scratch resistance and surface hardness for protecting the surface are required, and high secondary moldability for uniform lamination on the surface of an object article including a three-dimensional shape is needed. For example, in Patent Literature 1, a technique for achieving both secondary moldability and scratch resistance by providing a hard coat layer that exhibits high surface hardness after curing and exhibits high secondary moldability on the surface of an acrylic resin film substrate is proposed.

[0004] On the other hand, in these uses, there are many opportunities for the article to come into contact with the human body, and thus in summer or hot places, when sunscreen or insect repellent is applied to the skin of the human body, there is sometimes a problem of degradation of the surface of the article caused by the attachment of the sunscreen or insect repellent to the surface of the article, and resistance against them is also required. For example, N,N-diethyl 3-ethylbenzamide (hereinafter also referred to as DEET) has a small effect on the human body and has a high insect repellent effect on pests such as mosquitoes, and thus is widely used in the form of being blended as a main component in sprays and emulsions and the like for insect repellent. However, many plastic articles containing an acrylic resin have the following problem: by coming into contact with the skin of a person who has applied insect repellent containing DEET, the DEET contained in the insect repellent is attached to the surface of the plastic article, thereby corroding the surface of the article and degrading the appearance. Therefore, in Patent Literature 2, a laminate film having a certain resistance to DEET is proposed by providing a cured resin layer composed of a resin containing a unit derived from a polyurethane resin on an acrylic resin film.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0018] Figure 1 is a drawing for explaining a method for calculating a curing index based on the area of an infrared absorption peak in FT-IR measurement at a wave number of 810 cm -1 nearby and the area of an infrared absorption peak in FT-IR measurement at a wave number of 1705 cm -1 nearby in the cured resin layer in Comparative Example 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The inventors of the present application and others have conducted intensive studies in order to solve the above problems. As a result, it has been found that by using an acrylic resin film having a tensile elongation at break at 120°C of 200% or more in a laminate including a base material layer containing an acrylic resin film and a cured resin layer, and making the tensile crack elongation at 120°C of the laminate 80% or more, and forming the cured resin layer from a cured product of a reactive energy ray-curable resin composition containing a polyurethane acrylate resin, and making the value of a curing index represented by the following Formula 1 of the cured resin layer be in a specific range, that is, making the degree of curing be in a specific range, the surface hardness and secondary moldability of the laminate are high, and the chemical resistance to high concentrations of DEET is improved.

[0020] [Formula 1]

[0021] Curing index = B / D

[0022] In the above Formula 1, B represents the area of an infrared absorption peak in FT-IR measurement at a wave number of 810 cm -1 nearby, and D represents the area of an infrared absorption peak in FT-IR measurement at a wave number of 1705 cm -1 nearby in the cured resin layer.

[0023] In the present specification, the curing index is a parameter indicating the degree of curing of the cured resin layer, and more specifically, depends on the progress of the curing reaction of the reactive energy ray-curable resin composition containing a polyurethane acrylate resin. The infrared absorption peak in FT-IR measurement at a wave number of 810 cm -1 nearby corresponds to the out-of-plane bending vibration of the C-C double bond of the acryloyl group and / or the methacryloyl group, B reflects the content of the uncured acryloyl group and methacryloyl group in the cured resin layer, and the value becomes smaller as the curing reaction proceeds. The infrared absorption peak in FT-IR measurement at a wave number of 1705 cm -1The infrared absorption peak near the peak corresponds to the stretching vibration of the C-O double bond of the ester group, and D reflects the total amount of the unhardened acryl group and methacryl group in the hardened resin layer, and the ester group after the acryl group and methacryl group have undergone a curing reaction, and the total amount of the C-O double bond functional group before and after the curing reaction does not change in principle. The curing index B / D is a value obtained by dividing the peak area value of the functional group, i.e., the acryl group and methacryl group, which decreases as a result of the curing reaction, by the peak area value which does not change in principle as a result of the curing reaction, and the value depends on the degree of progress of the curing reaction, reaches a maximum in the unreacted state of the curing reaction, and becomes 0 if the curing reaction is completely performed, and can be used as a parameter indicating the degree of curing of the hardened resin layer.

[0024] In one or more embodiments of the present application, by making the curing index B / D of the hardened resin layer formed from the cured product of the active energy ray-curable resin composition containing the polyurethane acrylate resin be 0.013 or less, the chemical resistance to a high concentration, for example, 30 w / v% of DEET is improved.

[0025] In vehicle interior materials such as automotive interior materials, the instrument panel, door trim, and the like have portions that are irradiated with sunlight through the window glass, and these interior materials are required to have weather resistance (ultraviolet light degradation resistance) at a high temperature under sunlight irradiation to prevent surface degradation due to long-term use. An acrylic resin film itself is widely used as a decorative surface material for the surface of an automotive interior material, for example, by an in-mold or insert molding method, and has excellent weather resistance in addition to high secondary moldability, but when a hard coat or chemical resistance coating is applied for surface hardness and chemical resistance, the weather resistance can be poor. In one or more preferred embodiments of the present application, by making the curing index B / D be 0.013 or less, and by further containing a hindered amine-based light stabilizer having a reactive functional group and a compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive functional group in the active energy ray-curable resin composition in addition to the polyurethane acrylate resin, it is possible to improve the weather resistance, and in particular, the weather resistance of the properties including the chemical resistance to reagents such as DEET.

[0026] In the present specification, when a numerical range is indicated by "~", the numerical range includes both end values (upper limit and lower limit). For example, the numerical range of "X ~ Y" is a range including both end values of X and Y, and is the same range as "X or more and Y or less". In addition, any number within the range, any range included in the range is specifically disclosed. In addition, in the present specification, when a plurality of numerical ranges are described, numerical ranges obtained by appropriately combining the upper limits and lower limits of different numerical ranges are included.

[0027] (Acrylic resin film)

[0028] The acrylic resin film preferably has a tensile elongation at break at 120°C of 200% or more. Thus, the tensile crack elongation at 120°C of the laminate with the cured resin layer becomes high, and the secondary moldability of the laminate easily becomes good. The upper limit of the tensile elongation at break at 120°C of the acrylic resin film is not particularly limited. In the present specification, the tensile elongation at break at 120°C of the acrylic resin film can be measured by the method described in the examples.

[0029] The acrylic resin film is preferably formed from an acrylic resin composition containing an acrylic resin and a graft copolymer particle containing a rubber component (also referred to as a crosslinked elastomer).

[0030] <Acrylic Resin>

[0031] As the acrylic resin, an acrylic resin known heretofore can be appropriately used. For example, from the viewpoint of hardness and moldability, when the total amount of the constituent units of the acrylic resin is 100% by mass, an acrylic resin (also referred to as a thermoplastic acrylic polymer) composed of a methyl methacrylate unit of 50 to 100% by mass and other constituent units of 0 to 50% by mass is preferably used. Note that the total amount of the methyl methacrylate unit and the other constituent units in the thermoplastic acrylic polymer is 100% by mass.

[0032] As the other constituent units, for example, constituent units derived from acrylic acid, an acrylic acid derivative, methacrylic acid, a methacrylic acid derivative, an aromatic vinyl derivative, a vinyl cyanide derivative, and the like can be given. The other constituent units can be a glutarimide structure, an internal lactone ring structure, an N-substituted maleimide structure, a non-substituted maleimide structure, and the like described later. The other constituent units contained in the acrylic resin can be one or a combination of two or more.

[0033] As the acrylic acid derivative, for example, acrylic acid esters such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate, benzyl acrylate, and glycidyl acrylate, and the like can be given, but are not limited thereto.

[0034] As the methacrylic acid derivative, methacrylic acid esters such as ethyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, phenyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, 2-phenoxyethyl methacrylate, and isobornyl methacrylate, and the like can be given, but are not limited thereto.

[0035] As the aromatic vinyl derivative, for example, styrene, vinyltoluene, and α-methylstyrene can be given, but are not limited thereto.

[0036] As the vinyl cyanide derivative, acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile, etc. can be given, but are not limited to these.

[0037] In order to improve the heat resistance, rigidity, surface hardness, etc. of the acrylic resin, a constitutional unit having a specific structure can be introduced to the acrylic resin by copolymerization, functional group modification, and modification, etc. As such a specific structure, for example, a glutarimide structure as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-89705, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 02-178310, and International Publication No. 2005 / 54311, an internal lactone ring structure as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-168882 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-171464, a glutaric anhydride structure obtained by thermal condensation ring closure of a (meth) acrylic acid unit as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-307834, etc., a maleic anhydride structure as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-119217, and an N-substituted maleimide structure and a non-substituted maleimide structure as shown in International Publication No. 2009 / 84541, etc. can be given. For example, by introducing these structures to the acrylic resin, the molecular chain becomes rigid. As a result, an effect of improvement of heat resistance, improvement of surface hardness, reduction of heat shrinkage, and improvement of chemical resistance, etc. can be expected.

[0038] The method of producing the acrylic resin is not particularly limited, and for example, a publicly known polymerization method such as suspension polymerization, bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, and emulsion polymerization, etc. can be applied. In addition, a publicly known radical polymerization, living radical polymerization, anionic polymerization, and cationic polymerization can be applied.

[0039] The content of the acrylic resin in the acrylic resin film 100 can be 20 to 100 mass%, preferably 20 to 99 mass%, more preferably 25 to 95 mass%, and further preferably 30 to 90 mass%.

[0040] < Graft Copolymer Containing Rubber Component >

[0041] The acrylic resin film preferably contains the graft copolymer particles (A) having an average particle diameter of 20 to 200 nm as the graft copolymer particles containing a rubber component. In this case, in the acrylic resin film, the graft copolymer particles (A) are preferably dispersed in an acrylic resin or a base containing an acrylic resin and other components. In addition, in the acrylic resin film, as the graft copolymer particles containing a rubber component, in addition to the graft copolymer particles (A), graft copolymer particles (B) having a larger average particle diameter than the graft copolymer particles (A) can be contained as needed. In this case, in the acrylic resin film, the graft copolymer particles (A) and the graft copolymer particles (B) are preferably dispersed in an acrylic resin or a base containing an acrylic resin and other components.

[0042] The graft copolymer particles (A) preferably have a core-shell structure (multilayer structure) having a crosslinked elastomer (Al) as a rubber component and a graft polymer layer (A2) located on a surface layer side more than the crosslinked elastomer (Al).

[0043] The crosslinked elastomer (Al) can be a publicly known crosslinked elastomer. The crosslinked elastomer (Al) is preferably an acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (a crosslinked elastomer composed of a polymer in which an acrylate is a main component). In the present specification, the "main component" means a component having a content of 50% by mass or more.

[0044] The particle of the acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al) can have a concentric spherical multilayer structure having a hard crosslinked resin layer having a glass transition temperature of room temperature (20 ± 5°C) or more or a semi-hard crosslinked resin layer having a glass transition temperature in the range of 0°C or room temperature inside the crosslinked elastomer layer. As such a hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer, for example, a hard crosslinked methacrylic resin particle as shown in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 55-27576, a semi-hard crosslinked particle composed of methyl methacrylate-acrylate-styrene as shown in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 4-270751, and a crosslinked rubber particle having a high degree of crosslinking, and the like can be mentioned. By having such a hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer, improvement in transparency and color tone, and the like can sometimes be expected.

[0045] The graft copolymer particles (A) preferably have a core-shell structure formed by graft polymerization of a monomer mixture for forming the graft polymer layer (A2) in the presence of the above-described particle of the acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al).

[0046] The average particle diameter of the graft copolymer particles (A) is preferably from 50 to 150 nm, and particularly preferably from 50 to 120 nm. When the average particle diameter of the graft copolymer particles (A) is too small, there is a tendency for the impact resistance and the bending breakage resistance of the acrylic resin film to decrease. When the average particle diameter of the graft copolymer particles (A) is too large, there is a tendency for the transparency of the acrylic resin film to deteriorate, or for the film to easily become whitened by bending.

[0047] As the acrylic ester-based crosslinked elastomer (A1), a crosslinked elastomer particle obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture (a-1) containing (a) an acrylic ester, (b) a multifunctional monomer having 2 or more non-conjugated double bonds per 1 molecule and capable of copolymerizing with the acrylic ester, and (c) another vinyl-based monomer capable of copolymerizing with the acrylic ester, can be preferably used.

[0048] The acrylic ester, the multifunctional monomer, and the other vinyl-based monomer can be all mixed and polymerized in one step. Alternatively, the composition of the acrylic ester, the multifunctional monomer, and the other vinyl-based monomer can be appropriately changed, or the acrylic ester, the multifunctional monomer, and the other vinyl-based monomer can be polymerized in multiple steps of two or more steps, with the same composition, for the purpose of adjusting the toughness, the whitening resistance, and the like of the acrylic resin film.

[0049] As the acrylic ester, from the viewpoint of excellent polymerizability, low cost, and the ability to obtain a polymer having a low glass transition temperature (Tg), an aliphatic ester of acrylic acid is preferable, an aliphatic alkyl acrylate is more preferable, and an aliphatic alkyl acrylate having an alkyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 22 is particularly preferable. The aliphatic alkyl group can be any one of a straight chain, a branched chain, and a cyclic (also referred to as alicyclic) group.

[0050] As a specific example of the preferable aliphatic alkyl acrylate, for example, mention can be made of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, n-octyl acrylate, isobornyl acrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, dodecyl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, heptadecyl acrylate, and octadecyl acrylate. One of them can be used alone, or two or more of them can be used in combination.

[0051] In 100% by mass of the monomer mixture (a-1), the amount of the acrylic ester (preferably an aliphatic alkyl acrylate, and more preferably an aliphatic alkyl acrylate having an alkyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 22) is preferably from 50 to 99.9% by mass, more preferably from 70 to 99% by mass, and most preferably from 80 to 99% by mass. If the amount of the acrylic ester is 50% by mass or more, the impact resistance and the elongation at the time of tensile breakage of the acrylic resin film are good, and cracks are less likely to occur at the time of secondary molding.

[0052] As the other vinyl-based monomer, for example, there can be mentioned methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, t-butyl methacrylate, phenyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, phenoxyethyl methacrylate, isobornyl methacrylate, dicyclopentenyl methacrylate, and the like; acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile; styrene, vinyltoluene, and a-methylstyrene; acrylic acid; acrylate derivatives other than aliphatic alkyl acrylates such as phenyl acrylate and benzyl acrylate; methacrylic acid; methacrylic acid derivatives such as β-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate; maleic anhydride; maleic acid derivatives such as N-alkylmaleimide and N-phenylmaleimide; and the like. One of them can be used alone, or two or more of them can be used in combination. Of these, from the viewpoints of weather resistance and transparency, as the other vinyl-based monomer, one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of methacrylates and aromatic vinyl derivatives are particularly preferred.

[0053] The amount of the other vinyl-based monomer in the monomer mixture (a-1) is preferably 0 to 49.9% by mass, more preferably 0 to 30% by mass, and further preferably 0 to 20% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the monomer mixture (a-1). If the amount of the other vinyl-based monomer exceeds 49.9% by mass, the impact resistance of the acrylic resin film tends to decrease, the elongation at the time of tensile fracture decreases, and cracks tend to occur at the time of secondary molding.

[0054] As the multifunctional monomer, a monomer generally used as a crosslinking agent and / or a graft crosslinking agent can be preferably used. As the multifunctional monomer, for example, there can be mentioned allyl methacrylate, allyl acrylate, triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate, diallyl phthalate, diallyl maleate, divinyl adipate, divinylbenzene, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, propylene glycol dimethacrylate, diethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, dipropylene glycol dimethacrylate, and the like. One of these multifunctional monomers can be used alone, or two or more of them can be used in combination.

[0055] As these multifunctional monomers, multifunctional monomers having a function as a graft crosslinking agent are more preferable because they increase the number of graft bonds of the graft polymer layer (A2) to the crosslinked elastomer (Al) described later, as a result of which the graft copolymer particle (A) has good dispersibility in the acrylic resin, the resistance to cracking in tensile and bending deformation is improved, and stress whitening is reduced. As the multifunctional monomers having such a function as a graft crosslinking agent, monomers having an allyl group such as allyl methacrylate, allyl acrylate, triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate, diallyl phthalate, and diallyl maleate are preferable, and allyl methacrylate and allyl acrylate are particularly preferable.

[0056] The amount of the multifunctional monomer in the monomer mixture (a-1) 100 mass% is preferably 0.1 to 10 mass%, and more preferably 1.0 to 4 mass%. If the amount of the multifunctional monomer is within the above range, it is preferable from the viewpoint of the resistance to bending breakage, the resistance to bending whitening, and the flowability of the resin at the time of molding of the acrylic resin film.

[0057] In the acrylic ester-based crosslinked elastomer (Al), the amount of the multifunctional monomer can be increased in the interior and in the vicinity of the surface of the crosslinked elastomer (Al) for the purpose of improving the grafting efficiency of the graft polymer layer (A2) described later. Specifically, as shown in Japanese Patent No. 1460364, Japanese Patent No. 1786959, and the like, by increasing the content of the multifunctional monomer having a function as a graft crosslinking agent in the vicinity of the surface of the crosslinked elastomer (Al) more than in the interior, the graft polymer layer of the graft copolymer particle (A) can be improved in coverage, the dispersibility in the acrylic resin is good, or the decrease in the resistance to cracking due to peeling at the interface between the graft copolymer particle (A) and the acrylic resin can be suppressed. Furthermore, since sufficient coverage can be obtained with a relatively small amount of the graft polymer layer (A2), the amount of the graft copolymer particle (A) for introducing a prescribed amount of the crosslinked elastomer (Al) into the acrylic resin composition can be reduced, and thus the melt viscosity of the acrylic resin composition is reduced, and an improvement in the melt processability of the acrylic resin film, the improvement in the film processing precision, the improvement in the surface hardness, and the like can be expected.

[0058] For the purpose of controlling the molecular weight and crosslinking density of the acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al), and the purpose of controlling the thermal stability and the like by the reduction of the double bond terminal of the polymer accompanying the disproportionation termination reaction at the time of polymerization, a chain transfer agent can be used in addition to the monomer mixture (a-1). The chain transfer agent can be used selected from the chain transfer agents generally used in radical polymerization. As the chain transfer agent, for example, monofunctional or polyfunctional mercaptan compounds having 2 to 20 carbon atoms such as n-octyl mercaptan, n-dodecyl mercaptan and tert-dodecyl mercaptan, mercapto acid, thiophenol, carbon tetrachloride or a mixture thereof and the like are preferred. The addition amount of the chain transfer agent is preferably 0 to 1.0 parts by mass, more preferably 0 to 0.2 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer mixture (a-1).

[0059] The particles of the crosslinked elastomer (Al) can be a single layer composed of the above-described acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al), or can be a multilayer structure including 2 or more layers composed of the above-described acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al).

[0060] The particles of the crosslinked elastomer (Al) can also have an acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al) in at least one layer of the multilayer particles including a hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer. As the monomers constituting the hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer, mention can be made of methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, t-butyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, and phenoxyethyl methacrylate, and the like, methacrylate esters; methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, t-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and n-octyl acrylate, and the like, alkyl acrylate esters; styrene and a-methylstyrene, and the like, aromatic vinyl derivatives; acrylonitrile, and the like, vinyl cyanide derivatives; maleic anhydride; maleimide-based, and the like, maleic acid derivatives; and polyfunctional monomers having two or more non-conjugated double bonds per 1 molecule, and the like. As the polyfunctional monomers, the same polyfunctional monomers as those used in the polymerization of the acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al) layer can be used. Of these, one or more selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, t-butyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, t-butyl acrylate, styrene, and acrylonitrile, and the like, are particularly preferred. Furthermore, in the polymerization of the hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer, in addition to these monomers, a chain transfer agent can also be used for the purpose of controlling the crosslinking density, and the like, and for the purpose of controlling the thermal stability, and the like, by reducing the double bond terminals of the polymer. The chain transfer agent can be the same as that used in the polymerization of the acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (Al) layer. The amount of the chain transfer agent added is preferably 0 to 2 parts by mass, and more preferably 0 to 0.5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer mixture constituting the hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer.

[0061] When the graft copolymer particles (A) are of a two-layer structure of the particles of the crosslinked elastomer (Al) as the core particles and the graft polymer layer (A2) as the shell layer, the graft copolymer particles (A) are typically obtainable by forming the graft polymer layer (A2) by graft copolymerization of a monomer mixture (a-2) containing 50 to 100 mass% of a methacrylate ester and 0 to 50 mass% of another vinyl-based monomer copolymerizable with the methacrylate ester (wherein the total of the methacrylate ester and the other vinyl-based monomer is 100 mass%) in the presence of the particles of the crosslinked elastomer (Al).

[0062] The amount of the methacrylate ester in the monomer mixture (a-2) 100% by mass is preferably 60% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, further preferably 90% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 97% by mass or more, from the viewpoints of (a) ensuring compatibility with the acrylic resin as the base, and (b) inhibiting a decrease in the flexibility of the film caused by impregnation of a solvent or the like upon coating on an acrylic resin film, whitening and cracking caused by stretching upon molding.

[0063] In the monomer mixture (a-2), as the methacrylate ester, for example, there are mentioned methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, t-butyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, octyl methacrylate, and the like, and aromatic methacrylate esters such as phenyl methacrylate and benzyl methacrylate. Of these, methacrylate esters having an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms are preferred.

[0064] In the monomer mixture (a-2), as the other vinyl-based monomer, an alkyl acrylate having 2 or more carbon atoms in the alkyl group can be used. As the alkyl acrylate having 2 or more carbon atoms in the alkyl group, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, t-butyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, octyl acrylate, dodecyl acrylate, and stearyl acrylate is preferred, one or more selected from the group consisting of ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, and t-butyl acrylate is more preferred, and n-butyl acrylate is particularly preferred.

[0065] In the monomer mixture (a-2), as the other vinyl-based monomer, aromatic vinyl derivatives such as styrene and its nucleus-substituted compounds, vinyl cyanide derivatives such as acrylonitrile, methacrylic acid, methacrylic acid derivatives, acrylic acid, acrylic acid derivatives, N-substituted maleimides, maleic anhydride, methacrylamide, and acrylamide can also be used.

[0066] The monomer mixture (a-2) preferably contains a reactive ultraviolet absorber as the other vinyl-based monomer. That is, the graft polymer layer (A2) preferably contains a constitutional unit derived from the reactive ultraviolet absorber. When the monomer mixture (a-2) contains the reactive ultraviolet absorber, an acrylic resin film having good weather resistance and chemical resistance is easily obtained.

[0067] As the reactive ultraviolet absorber, a publicly known reactive ultraviolet absorber can be used without particular limitation. From the viewpoints of the moldability and weather resistance of the acrylic resin film, as the reactive ultraviolet absorber, a compound represented by the following general formula (1) is preferred.

[0068]

[0069] In General Formula (1), X is a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom, R1is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, or a tertiary alkyl group having 4 to 6 carbon atoms, R2is a linear or branched alkylene group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and R3is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

[0070] As the reactive ultraviolet absorber represented by General Formula (1), specifically, 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-(meth)acryloyloxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, more specifically, 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-acryloyloxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloyloxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloyloxyethylphenyl)-5-chloro-2H-benzotriazole, 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloyloxypropylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, and 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloyloxyethyl-3'-tert-butylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, and the like can be given. From the viewpoint of cost and workability, 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloyloxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole is preferably used. In the present specification, (meth)acryloyl is a general term for acryloyl and methacryloyl.

[0071] The content of the constitutional unit from the reactive ultraviolet absorber in the graft polymer layer (A2) 100 mass% is preferably 0.01 to 5 mass%, more preferably 0.1 to 3 mass%.

[0072] The graft polymer layer (A2) is preferably obtained by performing graft copolymerization of a monomer mixture (a-2) containing an alkyl methacrylate 70 to 99.5 mass%, an alkyl acrylate having 2 or more carbon atoms in the alkyl group 0.5 to 30 mass%, and other vinyl monomers 0 to 19 mass% (wherein the total of the alkyl methacrylate, the alkyl acrylate, and the other vinyl monomers is 100 mass%) in the presence of 5 to 90 parts by mass of the crosslinked elastomer particles (A1) by at least one step or more. Herein, the total amount of the crosslinked elastomer (A1) particles and the monomer mixture (a-2) satisfies 100 parts by mass.

[0073] In the production of the graft copolymer particles (A), particularly in the graft copolymerization of the monomer mixture (a-2) in the presence of the particles of the crosslinked elastomer (A1), such as the particles of the acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (A1), a polymer component (free polymer) not grafted to the particles of the acrylate-based crosslinked elastomer (A1) is sometimes produced. Such a free polymer can be used as a part or all of the substance constituting the acrylic resin that constitutes the matrix phase of the acrylic resin composition and the acrylic resin film.

[0074] A chain transfer agent can be added to the monomer mixture (a-2) for the purpose of controlling the molecular weight of the polymer, controlling the grafting rate to the crosslinked elastomer (A1) and the amount of production of the free polymer not bonded to the crosslinked elastomer (A1), and controlling the thermal stability and the like by reduction of the double bond terminal of the polymer through disproportionation termination reaction accompanying polymerization. Such a chain transfer agent can be used as the same chain transfer agent as that usable in the polymerization of the crosslinked elastomer (A1). The amount of use of the chain transfer agent is preferably 0 to 2 parts by mass, more preferably 0 to 0.5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer mixture (a-2).

[0075] The grafting rate of the monomer mixture (a-2) to the particles of the crosslinked elastomer (A1), that is, the grafting rate of the graft copolymer particles (A) is preferably 5 to 250%, more preferably 10 to 200%, further preferably 20 to 150%. If the grafting rate is less than 5%, there is a tendency that the whitening resistance to bending of the acrylic resin film decreases, or the transparency decreases, or the elongation at the time of tensile fracture decreases and cracks are easily produced at the time of secondary molding. If the grafting rate exceeds 250%, there is a tendency that the melt viscosity of the acrylic resin composition easily becomes high at the time of film molding and the moldability of the acrylic resin film decreases. In the present specification, the grafting rate of the graft copolymer particles (A) can be found by the following formula, using the insoluble component as the grafted component, by dissolving the powder of the graft copolymer particles (A) in methyl ethyl ketone and separating into the insoluble component and the soluble component.

[0076] Grafting rate (%) = 100 x (mass fraction of insoluble component - mass fraction of crosslinked elastomer (A1)) / mass fraction of crosslinked elastomer (A1)

[0077] The average particle diameter d (nm) of the acrylic ester-based crosslinked elastomer (A1) in the acrylic resin film and the amount w (mass %) of the multifunctional monomer used in the acrylic ester-based crosslinked elastomer (A1) preferably satisfy the relationship: 0.015d ≤ w ≤ 0.06d, and more preferably satisfy 0.02d ≤ w ≤ 0.05d. If the amount of the multifunctional monomer is in the range of the above relationship, it has the advantage that the elongation at the secondary molding of the acrylic resin film is not easily reduced, cracks are not easily generated at the molding process or cutting, the transparency is excellent, and stress whitening is not easily generated at the bending or tensile deformation at normal temperature (about 25°C), high temperature above the softening temperature of the acrylic resin film, or the temperature region between normal temperature and the Tg of the crosslinked elastomer (A1), and further, haze or whitening of the film due to moisture caused by the moisture permeating into the acrylic resin film by the contact of the acrylic resin film with moisture is not easily generated.

[0078] The graft copolymer particle (B) has a crosslinked elastomer (B1) as a rubber component, like the graft copolymer particle (A). The graft copolymer particle (B) typically has a graft polymer layer (B2) located more on the surface layer side than the crosslinked elastomer (B1), like the graft copolymer particle (A). That is, the graft copolymer particle (B) preferably has a crosslinked elastomer (B1) of a core layer and a graft polymer layer (B2) of a shell layer. In addition, both the core layer and the shell layer can be a multilayer structure.

[0079] The graft copolymer particle (B) can be substantially the same as the graft copolymer particle (A) in terms of raw materials and manufacturing methods, etc., except that the average particle diameter is larger than that of the graft copolymer particle (A). It is preferable that the particles of the acrylic ester-based crosslinked elastomer (B1) have a concentric spherical multilayer structure having a hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer inside the crosslinked elastomer layer. As such a hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer, for example, there are hard crosslinked methacrylic resin particles as shown in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. S55-27576, and crosslinked particles having a semi-hard layer composed of a methyl methacrylate-acrylate-styrene copolymer or the like as shown in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. H4-270751, International Publication No. 2014 / 41803, and the like. By introducing such a hard or semi-hard crosslinked resin layer, the transparency, the resistance to bending whitening, the resistance to bending breakage, and the like of the graft copolymer particle (B) having a larger particle diameter than the graft copolymer particle (A) can be improved.

[0080] The average particle diameter of the graft copolymer particles (B) is preferably 150 to 400 nm, and more preferably 200 to 350 nm. The graft copolymer particles (B) having a large average particle diameter are more effective than the graft copolymer particles (A) having a small average particle diameter in causing plastic deformation (cracking) in the acrylic resin phase around the graft copolymer particles in response to an external force on the acrylic resin material. Thus, the graft copolymer particles (B) are very excellent in imparting the effects of impact resistance and crack resistance to the acrylic resin material. On the other hand, the graft copolymer particles (B) are inferior to the graft copolymer particles (A) in terms of, for example, resistance to whitening upon bending and / or resistance to solvent whitening. Thus, for example, by adding a small amount of the graft copolymer particles (B) to an acrylic resin composition containing an acrylic resin and the graft copolymer particles (A), it is possible to expect the following effects: (a) to reduce the total content of soft components in the acrylic resin film without reducing the surface hardness of the acrylic resin film and the laminate, (b) to prevent whitening upon application of an external stress to the acrylic resin film, upon coating of a coating liquid containing an organic solvent, and / or upon molding processing, and (c) to effectively improve the crack resistance and secondary molding properties of the acrylic resin film and the laminate. As an acrylic resin film using the graft copolymer particles (A) in combination with a small amount of the graft copolymer particles (B), for example, there are the acrylic resin films disclosed in International Publication No. 2013 / 051239 and International Publication No. 2019 / 181752.

[0081] In the present specification, the average particle diameter of the graft copolymer particles (A) and the graft copolymer particles (B) is the average particle diameter on a volume basis (also referred to as a mass basis), and can be measured using a particle size distribution measuring device of the laser diffraction / scattering type, such as a Microtrac particle size distribution measuring device MT3000 manufactured by NIKKISO CO., LTD., in a latex state, by a dynamic light scattering method.

[0082] The method for producing the graft copolymer particles (A) and the graft copolymer particles (B) is not particularly limited, and known emulsion polymerization, miniemulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization, and solution polymerization, and the like can be applied. From the viewpoint of a large adjustment range of the resin structure, emulsion polymerization is particularly preferable.

[0083] As the initiator used in the emulsion polymerization of the graft copolymer particles (A) and / or the graft copolymer particles (B), known initiators such as organic peroxides, inorganic peroxides, and azo compounds can be used. Specifically, mention can be made of organic peroxides such as t-butyl hydroperoxide, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, benzoyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, alkyl percarbonates, and alkyl peroxides; inorganic peroxides such as potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, and ammonium persulfate; and azo compounds such as azobisisobutyronitrile. These can be used singly or in combination of two or more.

[0084] These initiators can be used as (a) a radical polymerization initiator of the thermal decomposition type, or (b) a redox-type polymerization initiator system in which these initiators, a catalyst such as ferrous sulfate, and a reducing agent such as sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, ascorbic acid, and hydroxypyruvic acid are combined. Note that the catalyst can be used as a complex with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-2-sodium salt or the like to ensure water solubility.

[0085] The surfactant (also referred to as an emulsifier) used in the emulsion polymerization of the graft copolymer particles (A) and / or the graft copolymer particles (B) is not particularly limited. Known surfactants can be widely used in the emulsion polymerization. As the preferred surfactant, mention can be made of, for example, (a) anionic surfactants such as sodium, potassium, and ammonium salts of alkyl sulfonic acids, alkylbenzenesulfonic acids, dialkylsulfosuccinic acids (dioctylsulfosuccinic acid and the like), alkyl sulfates, fatty acid sodium salts, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether acetic acids, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphoric acids, alkyl phosphoric acids, alkyl ether phosphoric acids, alkylphenyl ether phosphoric acids, and surfactin; and (b) nonionic surfactants such as reaction products of alkylphenols with propylene oxide and / or ethylene oxide, and reaction products of aliphatic alcohols with propylene oxide and / or ethylene oxide. These surfactants can be used singly or in combination of two or more.

[0086] The graft copolymer particles (A) or the graft copolymer particles (B) can be separated and recovered from the latex of the graft copolymer particles (A) or the latex of the graft copolymer particles (B) obtained by the emulsion polymerization by known methods. For example, after the graft copolymer particles are coagulated by adding a water-soluble electrolyte such as calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium acetate, sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, and sulfuric acid to the latex, or after the graft copolymer particles are coagulated by separating and freezing the latex, the graft copolymer particles (A) or the graft copolymer particles (B) can be separated and recovered by filtration, washing, and drying of the solid components. Alternatively, the graft copolymer particles (A) or the graft copolymer particles (B) can be separated and recovered by spray drying, freeze coagulation, freeze drying, or the like of the latex.

[0087] For the purpose of reducing appearance defects and / or internal foreign matters of the acrylic resin film, it is preferable to filter the latex of the graft copolymer particles (A) or the latex of the graft copolymer particles (B) in advance with a filter and / or a screen mesh, thereby removing environmental foreign matters and substances that are causes of foreign matter defects such as polymer dirt, before the separation and recovery of the graft copolymer particles (A) or the graft copolymer particles (B).

[0088] As the filter and the screen mesh, publicly known filters and screen meshes used in the filtration of liquid media can be used. The form of the filter and the screen mesh, the pore diameter of the filter and the screen mesh, the filtration precision, and the filtration capacity, etc. can be appropriately selected according to the purpose of the object, the kind, the size, and the amount of the foreign matters to be removed. The pore diameter and the filtration precision of the filter and the screen mesh are, for example, preferably 2 times or more larger than the average particle diameter of the graft copolymer particles (A) or the graft copolymer particles (B), respectively.

[0089] The content of the graft copolymer particles (A) in the acrylic resin film 100 mass% is not particularly limited, and is preferably 10 to 70 mass%, more preferably 15 to 50 mass%, and further preferably 20 to 45 mass%.

[0090] The content of the graft copolymer particles (B) in the acrylic resin film 100 mass% is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately adjusted within a range that is preferable for the application of use without impairing the quality of the laminate of the present application, but from the viewpoint of suppressing stress whitening at the time of stretching or bending processing of the acrylic resin film and haze of the film after contact with moisture, it is preferable not to be excessively used, and is preferably 0 to 20 mass%, more preferably 0 to 10 mass%, and most preferably 0 to 5 mass%. In addition, the graft copolymer particles (B) can not be contained at all.

[0091] <Other Components>

[0092] The acrylic resin film (acrylic resin composition constituting the acrylic resin film) can contain, as necessary, a thermoplastic resin which is at least partially compatible with the acrylic resin, within a range not impairing the object of the present application. As such a thermoplastic resin, for example, a styrene resin, a polycarbonate resin, an amorphous saturated polyester resin, an olefin-methacrylic acid derivative resin, an olefin-acrylic acid derivative resin, a polyimide resin, a polylactic acid resin, and a PHBH (poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate)) resin, and the like can be exemplified. As the styrene resin, for example, a styrene-acrylonitrile resin, a styrene-(meth)acrylic acid resin, a styrene-maleic anhydride resin, a styrene-N-substituted or unsubstituted maleimide resin, a styrene-acrylonitrile-butadiene resin, and a styrene-acrylonitrile-acrylate resin, and the like can be exemplified. Among them, from the viewpoint that the compatibility with the acrylic resin is excellent and that the bending crack resistance, the solvent resistance, the chemical resistance, and the low moisture absorption of the acrylic resin film can be improved, it is preferable that the thermoplastic resin be selected from one or more of a styrene resin, a polycarbonate resin, and a polyimide resin. In the present specification, (meth)acrylic acid is a general term for acrylic acid and methacrylic acid.

[0093] In addition, the acrylic resin film (acrylic resin composition constituting the acrylic resin film) can contain, as necessary, a hitherto known additive used in the acrylic resin film, within a range not impairing the object of one embodiment of the present application. As such an additive, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, a light diffusing agent, a matting agent, a lubricant, a coloring agent such as a pigment and a dye, a fibrous filler, an antiblocking agent composed of organic particles and / or inorganic particles, an infrared reflector composed of a metal and / or a metal oxide, a plasticizer, an antistatic agent, and the like can be exemplified. The additive is not limited to these. These additives can be used in an arbitrary amount according to the kind of the additive, within a range not impairing the object of one embodiment of the present application, or for the purpose of enhancing the effect of one embodiment of the present application.

[0094] <Physical properties of the acrylic resin film>

[0095] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic resin film is preferably 145°C or lower, more preferably 140°C or lower, further preferably 135°C or lower, and particularly preferably 130°C or lower. If the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin film is 145°C or lower, it has the advantage that the film can be molded without increasing the molding temperature, and the generation of cracks at the time of molding can be suppressed. In addition, the lower limit of the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin film is not particularly limited, and from the viewpoint of preventing the print from shifting at the time of drying and improving the reliability, it is preferably 100°C or higher, for example. The glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin film can be found by a known method such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

[0096] The thickness of the acrylic resin film is not particularly limited, and for example, is preferably 50 to 350 μm, more preferably 60 to 300 μm, and particularly preferably 70 to 250 μm. If the thickness of the acrylic resin film is within the above range, the film has sufficient stretchability, excellent workability, and excellent appearance after being laminated to a resin substrate (molded body substrate) when a molded body is produced. In the present specification, the thickness of the acrylic resin film is measured by the method described in the Examples.

[0097] From the viewpoint of excellent surface hardness and scratch resistance, the pencil hardness of the acrylic resin film, measured based on JIS K 5600-5-4, is preferably a hardness of 2B or more, more preferably a hardness of B or more, and particularly preferably a hardness of HB or more under a load of 500 g.

[0098] <Method for producing acrylic resin film>

[0099] The acrylic resin film can be produced by a publicly known processing method. As specific examples of the publicly known processing method, there are, for example, melt processing, calender molding, press molding, and solvent casting, and the like. As the melt processing, for example, there are, for example, a blow molding method and a T-die extrusion method, and the like. In the solvent casting, for example, the acrylic resin composition is dissolved and dispersed in a solvent, and then the obtained dispersion liquid (slurry) is cast in a film shape on a belt-like substrate. Subsequently, the solvent is volatilized from the cast slurry in a film shape, and thereby the acrylic resin film is obtained.

[0100] Among these methods, the melt processing method, particularly the T-die extrusion method and the calender molding method, are preferred, since no solvent is used. According to the melt processing method, the thickness of the produced film is less limited, and a film having excellent surface properties can be produced at a high productivity, and the load of the solvent on the natural environment and the working environment can be reduced, and the production cost can be reduced.

[0101] When the acrylic resin composition is molded into a film by the melt processing method or the solvent casting method, from the viewpoint of improving the appearance quality of the acrylic resin film, it is preferred to remove environmental foreign matter, polymerization dirt, deteriorated resin, and the like in the acrylic resin composition, which are causes of appearance defects, internal foreign matter, and the like of the acrylic resin film, by filtration using a filter or a screen.

[0102] In the case of producing a film by melt processing, the filtration of the acrylic resin composition can be performed at one or more of any of the following timings: during the melt kneading of the acrylic resin and the raw material mixture including the graft copolymer particles; and during the melt film production process using a T-die. In the case of the solvent casting method, the filtration of the acrylic resin composition can be performed before the acrylic resin, the graft copolymer particles (A), the graft copolymer particles (B), and other components are mixed with a solvent and before the casting film production.

[0103] As such a filter and a screen, the filter and the screen can be used without particular limitation as long as they have heat resistance and durability corresponding to the melt processing conditions, or resistance to solvents and pastes for casting and the like.

[0104] When an acrylic resin film is produced by melt processing, particularly in order to obtain a high-quality acrylic resin film, a filter having a large filtration capacity and in which the residence of molten resin, which is a cause of the generation of resin degradation products and crosslinked products that impair the quality of the film, is less is preferred. For example, from the viewpoints of filtration efficiency and productivity, a leaf disc filter and a folding filter are preferably used.

[0105] When an acrylic resin film is produced by a T-die extrusion method, in order to improve the thickness accuracy of the film, for example, an automatic die device that measures the film thickness distribution of the film extrusion-molded in the TD direction (a direction perpendicular to the extrusion direction) on line and automatically adjusts the die lip gap of the T-die in the extrusion based on the measurement result can be used. By using an appropriate control method and applying the automatic die, the thickness accuracy of the acrylic resin film can be improved.

[0106] In the production of an acrylic resin film, as needed, when the film is subjected to a molding process, the film in a molten state is simultaneously contacted (sandwiched) with a cooling roll or a cooling belt on both sides, and thus a film having more excellent surface properties can be obtained. In this case, it is preferred that the film in a molten state be simultaneously contacted with a cooling roll or a cooling belt maintained at a temperature of -80°C or higher than the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin composition, preferably -70°C or higher than the glass transition temperature. The upper limit of the temperature of the cooling roll or the cooling belt is not particularly limited, and for example, can be +10°C or lower than the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin composition. As at least one of the rolls used for such sandwiching, for example, a roll having an elastic metal sleeve as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-153547 and Japanese Patent Application Publication No. H11-235747, and the like is more preferably used, and the roll mirror surface or a specific surface shape is transferred using a low sandwiching pressure. Thereby, a film (a) having less residual strain and excellent smoothness, and / or (b) having a moderate surface roughness, excellent lubricity of the film surface, and less internal strain in which the adhesion of the films to each other is suppressed can be obtained.

[0107] In addition, depending on the purpose, uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching can be performed after the film is formed. The uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching can be performed using a publicly known stretching device. The biaxial stretching can be performed by a publicly known method such as sequential biaxial stretching, simultaneous biaxial stretching, and longitudinal stretching followed by stretching in the transverse direction while relaxing the longitudinal direction to suppress the bowing phenomenon of the film.

[0108] (Base material layer)

[0109] The base material layer contains an acrylic resin film. The base material layer can have a smooth surface, and in a range not impairing the effects of the present application, a fine line, a prism, a concave-convex shape, a three-dimensional decoration, a matte surface, a rough surface having a certain surface roughness, knurling to the film end, or the like can be imparted to one side or both sides of the base material layer as needed depending on the use. The imparting of such a surface shape can be performed by a publicly known method. For example, a method in which both surfaces (also referred to as both sides) of a film immediately after extrusion or a formed film being fed out from a feeding device are sandwiched by two rollers or belts having a surface shape on at least one surface (also referred to as one side), and thus the surface shape of the rollers is transferred. In addition, in a range not impairing the effects of the present application, a print decoration layer can be laminated on one side or both sides of the acrylic resin film of the base material layer as needed depending on the use.

[0110] (Cured resin layer)

[0111] The cured resin layer is formed from a cured product of a curable energy ray resin composition (hereinafter also simply referred to as "curable resin composition") containing a polyurethane acrylate resin, or preferably containing a polyurethane acrylate resin, a hindered amine-based light stabilizer having a reactive functional group, and a compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive functional group. Specifically, the cured resin layer can be formed by laminating a curable resin composition containing a polyurethane acrylate resin, or preferably a curable resin composition containing a polyurethane acrylate resin, a hindered amine-based light stabilizer having a reactive functional group, and a compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive functional group on the base material layer containing an acrylic resin film by coating, and then curing it. The cured resin layer can be formed on one side of the base material layer containing an acrylic resin film, or on both sides. From the viewpoint of not requiring a large-scale heating device or the like, fast curing, and excellent cost, it is preferable that the curable resin composition for the cured resin layer have energy ray curability, and more preferably that the polyurethane acrylate resin, the hindered amine-based light stabilizer having a reactive functional group, and the compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive functional group have energy ray curability.

[0112] In the laminate of one or more embodiments of the present application, it is required that the cured resin layer has a high crack elongation while improving the surface hardness. Thus, when the laminate is subjected to secondary molding according to the shape of the molded body, no cracking or significant whitening occurs with stretching or bending processing or the like.

[0113] However, in general, in the cured resin layer, the cured product of the curable resin composition containing the curable resin is inhibited from deforming the surface of the cured product with respect to external stress by highly cross-linking and / or containing a filler having high hardness, thereby exhibiting surface hardness and scratch resistance. Surface hardness and scratch resistance are properties opposite to deformability and stretchability, and in the cured resin layer, it is difficult to balance them.

[0114] In order to impart high stretchability at the time of secondary molding while maintaining the surface hardness of the cured resin layer, the curable resin (e.g., polyurethane acrylate resin) used in the cured resin layer can be designed by, for example, the methods of (1) to (3) below. In the cured resin layer, any of the methods of (1) to (3) or the like can be used alone or in appropriate combination. Note that the cured resin layer can appropriately use a commercially available curable resin composition containing a polyurethane acrylate resin capable of imparting high stretchability at the time of secondary molding while maintaining the surface hardness of the cured resin layer.

[0115] (1) The cured resin composition is designed to have a glass transition temperature after curing between room temperature and the secondary molding temperature (e.g., about 110 to 140°C), which enables design to be hard at room temperature and to soften and deform at the secondary molding temperature. Thus, the cured product of the curable resin (cured resin layer) exhibits high surface hardness at room temperature and high stretchability at the time of secondary molding.

[0116] (2) It is designed to make the cross-linking structure of the curable resin after curing non-uniform by using a plurality of different structures of curable resin in combination, so as to have a relatively hard portion having a high cross-linking density and a relatively soft portion having a low cross-linking density and a large plastic deformation, and to be non-uniform in the microstructure. Thus, high surface hardness is exhibited by the portion having a high cross-linking density in the cured product of the curable resin (cured resin layer), and at the time of secondary molding, the portion having a low cross-linking density deforms to exhibit high stretchability.

[0117] (3) A resin component with low cross-linking density or non-cross-linking and / or a resin component with low elastic modulus is compounded in the curable resin. Thus, after curing of the curable resin, a structure in which fine regions (domains) with low cross-linking density or non-cross-linking and / or low elastic modulus are dispersed in the curable resin phase with high cross-linking density is formed, whereby the surface hardness is maintained to some extent in the cured product (cured resin layer) of the curable resin, and deformability and stretchability are imparted.

[0126] In one or more embodiments of the present application, as at least a part of the curable resin composition for the cured resin layer, a commercially available curable resin composition containing a urethane acrylate resin can be used.

[0127] <Light stabilizer>

[0128] The curable resin composition for the cured resin layer preferably contains a light stabilizer. By containing a light stabilizer, the stability of the cured resin layer against ultraviolet light degradation or light degradation is improved, and surface cracking and peeling and the like in the outdoor or indoor use of the molded body coated with the laminate containing the cured resin layer can be suppressed.

[0129] The curable resin composition for the cured resin layer more preferably contains a hindered amine light stabilizer having at least a reactive functional group (hereinafter also referred to as "reactive HALS") as a light stabilizer. In the reactive HALS, the reactive functional group only needs to have reactivity with the urethane acrylate resin, and for example, a functional group having an ethylenic double bond can be mentioned, and more specifically, it is preferable to contain one or more selected from the group consisting of a methacryloyl group, an acryloyl group, a vinyl group, and an allyl group, and more preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of a methacryloyl group and an acryloyl group. By having a reactive functional group, the hindered amine light stabilizer reacts with the urethane acrylate resin when the urethane acrylate resin is cured, and is introduced into the cured product forming the cured resin layer in a chemically bonded state. Thereby, even in an environment such as outdoor exposure, the transfer and loss of the hindered amine light stabilizer from the surface of the cured resin layer can be suppressed, and thus the weather resistance degradation of the cured resin layer can be suppressed for a longer period of time.

By containing 0.1 parts by mass or more of the reactive HALS, the long-term weather resistance is improved. In addition, if the reactive HALS is 10 parts by mass or less, the weather resistance can be improved without impairing the quality of the cured resin layer.

[0133] The curable resin composition for a cured resin layer can contain, in addition to the reactive HALS, other light stabilizers such as a hindered amine light stabilizer (hereinafter also referred to as HALS) having no reactive functional group, as necessary.

At this time, from the viewpoint of further improving weather resistance in the case where bleeding and curing hindrance of the cured resin layer do not occur, the curable resin composition for a cured resin layer can contain a total of 0.5 to 10 parts by mass of a light stabilizer with respect to 100 parts by mass of the urethane acrylate resin, can contain 0.8 to 6 parts by mass, or can contain 1.0 to 4 parts by mass.

[0134] <Compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive functional group>

[0135] The curable resin composition for a cured resin layer preferably contains a compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group (hereinafter also simply referred to as "hydrophobic reactive compound"). Such a compound is also generally referred to as a leveling agent, a surfactant, an antifouling agent, a water repellent, an oil repellent, a dispersant, a lubricant, and the like. Such a compound can be selected by appropriately adjusting the composition, structure, and the like according to the base material, the curable resin, the filler, and the like, and then compounded into the curable resin composition and / or the paint containing the curable resin composition, so that the molecules of the compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group are distributed toward the surface side or the interface side of the curable resin composition and / or the paint after application, and / or the interface with the base material, the filler, and the like, thereby having an effect of reducing the surface tension of the curable resin composition and / or the paint containing the curable resin composition, or improving the wettability with other materials. It also has an effect of imparting hydrophobicity, water repellency, oil repellency, antifouling properties, smoothness, scratch resistance, and the like to the surface of the cured resin layer after application and / or curing, or smoothing the surface of the cured resin layer after application and / or curing, or improving the dispersion state of the compounded filler and the like. In one or more embodiments of the present application, by adding the compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group to the curable resin composition for a cured resin layer, it is inferred that the surface of the cured resin layer can be made hydrophobic, thereby more effectively suppressing the penetration of the DEET component into the cured resin layer, and particularly by being used in combination with the reactive HALS, exhibiting an effect of improving the weather resistance against DEET.

[0136] <Hydrophobic group>

[0137] The hydrophobic reactive compound contains a hydrophobic group in the molecule. As the hydrophobic group, specifically, a saturated hydrocarbon group, an aromatic hydrocarbon group, a silicone group, and a fluorine-containing group, etc. can be given. As the silicone group, for example, an alkyl-substituted polysiloxane group such as a polydimethylsiloxane group, a part of the alkyl substituent group can have a functional group other than a hydrocarbon group, a part or all of the hydrogen group of the alkyl substituent group can be substituted with a fluorine group. As the fluorine-containing group, for example, a partially fluorinated hydrocarbon group, a perfluoroalkyl group, a partially fluorinated polyalkylene oxide group, a polyperfluoroalkylene oxide group, and a fluoroalkyl-substituted siloxane group, etc. can be given. Among such hydrophobic groups, from the viewpoint of deducing high hydrophobicity, the performance of imparting leveling property or wettability by the addition of the compound being excellent, and water repellency, oil repellency, etc. being excellent, the effect of improving DEET resistance being excellent, it is preferable to select one or more selected from a silicone group and a fluorine-containing group, and more preferable to a fluorine-containing group. As the hydrophobic group containing a silicone group and a fluorine-containing group, a fluoroalkyl-substituted siloxane group can be appropriately used.

[0138] <Reactive Group>

[0139] The hydrophobic reactive compound has a reactive group in the molecule in addition to the above-mentioned hydrophobic group, and more preferably has a functional group that can react together at the time of curing reaction of the polyurethane acrylate resin. By containing such a reactive group, a chemical bond can be formed between the curable resin and the hydrophobic reactive compound (compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group) at the time of curing reaction, and therefore the compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group does not flow out from the surface of the cured resin layer of the laminate, is easily left on the surface of the cured resin layer, and long-term maintenance of the functions of hydrophobicity, water repellency, oil repellency, stain repellency, smoothness, scratch resistance, and DEET resistance, etc. can be expected. As such a reactive group, specifically, a carbon-carbon double bond group such as an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group, a vinyl group, and an allyl group, and a thiol group, etc. can be given. Among them, one or more selected from an acryloyl group and a methacryloyl group is preferable in terms of good reactivity with a polyurethane acrylate group, excellent maintenance of weather resistance and DEET resistance after weather resistance tests, etc.

[0141] The curable resin composition for a cured resin layer preferably contains 0.01 to 5 parts by mass of the compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group, more preferably 0.05 to 4 parts by mass, and further preferably 0.1 to 3 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyurethane acrylate resin. By containing 0.01 parts by mass or more of the compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group, in addition to the effects of improvement of the leveling property of the curable resin composition for a cured resin layer, improvement of the wettability to the base material or the filler component, prevention of defects such as shrinkage, and the like, the weather resistance of the DEET resistance can also be improved by the combination with the reactive HALS. If the compound having a hydrophobic group and a reactive group is 5 parts by mass or less, adverse effects such as a decrease in the adhesion to the base material and a decrease in the re-coatability due to excessive addition are less likely to occur.

[0151] In addition, within a range not impeding the object of the present application, the cured resin composition for the cured resin layer can include anti-glare particles from the viewpoint of improving the anti-glare property of the laminate. With respect to the anti-glare particles, the material of the particles, the blending amount, the kind of the dispersion solvent of the particles, the particle diameter, the dispersed particle diameter, the thickness of the cured resin layer, the difference in the relative refractive index with the substrate layer including the acrylic resin film, the affinity of the surface of the particles with the substrate layer including the acrylic resin film or the solvent, the reactivity, and the like can be appropriately adjusted within a known technical range not impairing the effect of the present application, for example, in order to obtain a balance of various properties such as the desired anti-glare property, the sharpness of the transmitted image, the glare, the blackness of the surface, the surface hardness, the lubricity, and the antistatic property.

[0160] When a curable resin layer is applied to one or both sides of a substrate layer comprising an acrylic resin film using a curable resin composition, any method can be used without limitation. Examples of coating methods include reverse coating, gravure coating, bar coating, mold coating, spray coating, kiss coating, wire bar coating, and curtain coating. These coating methods can be implemented individually or in combination.

[0161] After the above-mentioned curable resin layer is coated with a curable resin composition on one or both sides of a substrate layer containing an acrylic resin film to form a resin layer (coated film), the resin layer is cured by removing organic solvents from the coating film by drying and by curing the resin layer with active energy rays such as ultraviolet irradiation.

[0162] The drying temperature for removing organic solvents from the coated resin layer is preferably 60–120°C, more preferably 70–100°C. If the drying temperature is too low, organic solvents may remain in the resin layer (coated film). In addition, if the drying temperature is too high, the flatness of the laminate (cured resin layer) may be damaged due to thermal deformation of the acrylic resin film.

[0163] The wavelength of the ultraviolet light irradiated during the curing of the resin layer (coating film) is preferably in the range of 200–400 nm. The cumulative ultraviolet (UV) light intensity is preferably 500 mJ / cm². 2 The above, more preferably 550 mJ / cm 2 The above is further optimized to 600 mJ / cm. 2 The above. By making the cumulative UV light intensity 500 mJ / cm 2 The above can improve the curing degree of the cured resin layer. Specifically, it can reduce the curing index represented by Formula 1 and / or increase the curing degree represented by Formula 2. The crosslinking density of the cured resin layer increases, which can improve the hardness, DEET resistance, and DEET resistance weather resistance (DEET resistance after weathering test) of the laminate. The upper limit of the cumulative light intensity can be appropriately set from the perspective of not causing the cured resin layer to deteriorate due to excessive ultraviolet radiation or the heat generated therefrom, and energy efficiency. For example, 1500 mJ / cm is preferred.2 The following, 1400 mJ / cm 2 The following, 1300 mJ / cm 2 The following, 1200 mJ / cm 2 The following, 1100 mJ / cm 2 The following, 1000 mJ / cm 2 The following, 900 mJ / cm 2 The following, or 800 mJ / cm 2 The following.

[0164] <“Curing index” and “curing degree”>

[0165] In the laminate of one or more embodiments of the present application, as described above, the curing index of the cured resin layer needs to be 0.013 or less. Further, it is preferable that the curing degree of the cured resin layer, which is represented by the following Formula 2, be 75% or more.

[0166] Generally, the higher the crosslinking degree of the crosslinking reaction of the curable resin composition, the more the movement of the crosslinked polymer chain is restricted, and thus, generally, the curing reaction is rarely progressed to 100%, and a large amount of unreacted curable functional groups remain. The degree of progress of the curing reaction is generally quantified by, for example, an analysis method such as CP / MAS (Cross Polarization Magic Angle Spinning)-1H NMR, and the progress of the curing reaction of the cured resin layer formed from the cured product of the active energy ray-curable resin composition containing the urethane acrylate resin can be represented by the curing index calculated from the following Formula 1 and / or the curing degree calculated from the following Formula 2 using FT-IR analysis in a reflection mode.

[0167] [Formula 1]

[0168] Curing index = B / D

[0169] [Formula 2]

[0170] Curing degree (%) = 100 x [(A / C) - (B / D)] / (A / C)

[0171] In the above Formula 1 and Formula 2, A represents the area of the infrared absorption peak in the vicinity of a wave number of 810 cm -1 in FT-IR measurement of the coated film of the active energy ray-curable resin composition before curing, B represents the area of the infrared absorption peak in the vicinity of a wave number of 810 cm -1 in FT-IR measurement of the cured resin layer, and C represents the area of the infrared absorption peak in the vicinity of a wave number of 1705 cm -1The area of the infrared absorption peak near 1705 cm"1" in FT-IR measurement, D indicates the cured resin layer -1 The area of the infrared absorption peak near 1705 cm"1" in FT-IR measurement, D indicates the cured resin layer

[0172] The wave number of the infrared spectrum 810 cm"1" -1 The peak near 810 cm"1" corresponds to the out-of-plane bending vibration of the C-C double bond of the acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group, A reflects the content of the acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group in the coating film of the active energy ray-curable resin composition before curing, and B reflects the content of the acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group in the coating film of the active energy ray-curable resin composition after curing. The values of A and B decrease as the curing reaction progresses. The wave number of the FT-IR measurement 810 cm"1" -1 The infrared absorption peak near 1705 cm"1" in FT-IR measurement corresponds to the stretching vibration of the C-O double bond of the ester group, and C and D respectively reflect the total amount of the unreacted acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group, and the ester group after the curing reaction of the acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group in the coating film of the active energy ray-curable resin composition before and after the curing reaction. The total amount of the C-O double bond functional group before and after the curing reaction does not change in principle. Therefore, the above curing index B / D is a value obtained by dividing the peak area value of the functional group, i.e., the acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group, which decreases by the reaction, by the peak area value which does not change in principle by the reaction, and is largest in the unreacted state, and becomes 0 if the curing reaction is completely performed, and can be used as an index of the progress of the curing reaction. In addition, the degree of curing represented by the above formula 2 represents the proportion of the residual amount of the acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group after curing with respect to the content of the acryloyl group and the methacryloyl group before curing, and can be used as an index of the progress of the curing reaction.

[0173] Further, for the purpose of further improving the surface hardness, DEET resistance, weather resistance, and the like of the molded body on which the laminate of one or more embodiments of the present application is disposed on the surface, the operation of irradiating active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays can be further performed on at least a part of the molded body on which the laminate is disposed on the surface after the secondary molding of the laminate using vacuum and / or pressure air molding.

[0199] The measurement and evaluation methods used in the examples and comparative examples are described.

[0200] (Cure index and degree of cure)

[0201] The curing index and degree of curing of the cured resin layer were determined as follows: Using an FT / IR-4700 (manufactured by Nippon Spectrophotometer Co., Ltd.), the infrared absorption spectra of the surface of the coating film (dry state) of the active energy X-ray curable resin composition before curing and the surface of the cured resin layer were measured using the ATR method (total internal reflection measurement) with a diamond prism. After correcting for the composition of the infrared absorption spectrum from the prism material, the values ​​were plotted on the horizontal axis as wavenumber (cm²). -1 In the infrared absorption spectrum with transmittance (%) as the vertical axis, the connection wavenumber of 810 cm⁻¹ was set using the machine's "spectral analysis" function via the method described below. -1 Nearby infrared absorption peaks and 1705 cm⁻¹ -1 The baseline is the straight line drawn between the two points at the base of each of the nearby infrared absorption peaks. The corresponding peak area can then be calculated. It should be noted that the horizontal axis represents the wavenumber (cm²). -1 In an infrared absorption spectrum with transmittance (%) as the vertical axis, observe the infrared absorption peaks downwards. Treat this value as the area of ​​each peak, and calculate the curing index and degree of curing using Equations 1 and 2 below.
