Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to polycarbonate resin compositions, and more particularly to polycarbonate resin compositions and molded articles thereof having excellent flexural strength and impact resistance. Background Technology
[0002] Polycarbonate resins have excellent mechanical properties, such as impact resistance, and are also excellent in terms of heat resistance and transparency. Therefore, they are used in many applications such as various optical components, electrical and electronic equipment components, automotive interior and exterior components, OA equipment components, seats, mechanical components and building materials.
[0003] One method to improve the heat resistance of polycarbonate resins is to add stabilizers. Aromatic phosphite stabilizers are commonly used for polycarbonate resins, and a representative example is tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite.
[0004] Numerous proposals exist for polycarbonate resin compositions in which the stabilizer is used, and, for example, in Patent Document 1, a method in which tris(nonylphenyl) phosphite is used in combination with tris(2,4-dibutylphenyl) phosphite has been proposed.
[0005] However, while tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite does have the effect of preventing discoloration and deterioration of polycarbonate resin, it also has the problem of reduced mechanical strength.

[0114] [Triarylphosphate (B)]
[0115] The polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention comprises a triaryl phosphate (B) represented by general formula (1). In this specification, aryl means a group containing a monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic group, and particularly preferably means phenyl.
[0116] [Chemistry 2]
[0117]
[0118] In equation (1), R 1 To R 5 Each alkyl group is independently composed of hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, preferably alkyl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and preferred examples include methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, or octyl. Alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, particularly alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, are preferred.
[0119] In equation (1), when R on each of the three aromatic rings 1 To R 5 When two or more of the components are alkyl groups, the alkyl groups can be the same as or different from each other.
[0120] In triaryl phosphate (B), R on each aromatic ring in formula (1) 1 To R 5 At least one or more of them are preferably alkyl groups having 1 to 12 carbon atoms.
[0121] In addition, R on each aromatic ring 1 and R 3 It is an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and each aromatic ring has an R 2 R 4 and R 5 More preferably, it is a hydrogen atom.
[0122] Specific examples of triaryl phosphates (B) include triphenyl phosphate, trimethylbenzyl phosphate, tridimethylbenzyl phosphate, tolyl diphenyl phosphate, tolyl-2,6-didimethylbenzyl phosphate, dimethylbenzyl phosphate, ethylphenyl diphenyl phosphate, diethylphenyl phosphate, propylphenyl diphenyl phosphate, dipropylphenyl phosphate, tripropylphenyl phosphate, butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate, dibutylphenyl phosphate, and tributylphenyl phosphate.
[0123] Among them, the triaryl phosphate (B) is preferably in formula (1) where R on each aromatic ring is... 1 and R 3 It is tert-butyl, and R on each aromatic ring 2 R 4 and R 5 It is a triaryl phosphate with hydrogen atoms, and is particularly preferred to be tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphate.
[0124] Triaryl phosphates (B) can be used alone, or two or more of them can be used together.
[0125] The content of triaryl phosphate (B) is 0.0001 to 0.3 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of polycarbonate resin (A). Resin compositions containing such amounts of triaryl phosphate also exhibit excellent flexural strength and impact resistance. The content of triaryl phosphate (B) is preferably 0.0005 parts by weight or more, particularly 0.001 parts by weight or more or 0.003 parts by weight or more, and especially preferably 0.005 parts by weight or more, and preferably 0.25 parts by weight or less, particularly 0.2 parts by weight or less, 0.15 parts by weight or less, 0.13 parts by weight or less, and especially preferably 0.10 parts by weight or less.
[0126] [Fibrous packing (C)]
[0127] The polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention comprises a fibrous filler (C). When triaryl phosphate (B) and fibrous filler (C) are combined, flexural strength and impact resistance can be improved.
[0128] As the fibrous filler used in this invention, any conventionally known fibrous filler can be used. Specific examples include glass fibers, carbon fibers, calcium silicate (wollastonite) fibers, alumina fibers, silica-alumina fibers, potassium titanate fibers, and ceramic fibers. Preferably, at least one selected from the group consisting of glass fibers, carbon fibers, wollastonite fibers, alumina fibers, and silica-alumina fibers is preferred. Glass fibers, carbon fibers, and mixtures thereof are preferred.
[0129] As glass fibers, not only glass fibers with a roughly perfect circular cross-sectional shape can be used, but also glass fibers with various irregular cross-sectional shapes can be used. The average fiber diameter of such glass fibers is preferably 1 to 25 μm, and more preferably 5 to 17 μm. When glass fibers with an average fiber diameter less than 1 μm are used, there is a concern that the formability may be impaired, and when glass fibers with an average fiber diameter greater than 25 μm are used, there is a concern that the external appearance may be impaired or the reinforcing effect may be insufficient. Furthermore, as glass fibers, continuously wound glass rovings, chopped filaments with a trimmed length (cut length) of 1 to 10 mm, ground fibers pulverized to an average fiber length of about 10 to 500 μm, and other glass fibers with a length ( ) Figure 1 2) The cross-section has flat glass fibers (also known as flat glass fibers) or elliptical glass fibers in orthogonal directions, and these can also be used together.
[0130] In glass fibers with a flat cross-section, the length of the short side ( Figure 1 1) is defined as the fiber diameter (in some cases called the major axis), and in glass fibers with an elliptical cross-sectional shape, the length of the major axis of the ellipse is defined as the fiber diameter.
[0131] When using fiberglass, impact resistance becomes more advantageous, which is preferred.
[0132] As carbon fibers, there are various types (flame-retardant, carbonaceous, and graphite, etc.) of carbon fibers that are typically produced by burning acrylic fibers, petroleum, special carbon pitch, cellulose fibers, or lignin as raw materials, and the matrix material is irrelevant. The average fiber diameter of such carbon fibers is preferably 1 to 20 μm, and more preferably 3 to 15 μm. When using carbon fibers with an average fiber diameter less than 1 μm, there is a concern that the formability may be impaired, and when using carbon fibers with an average fiber diameter greater than 20 μm, there is a concern that the appearance may be impaired and the reinforcing effect may be insufficient.
[0133] When carbon fiber is used, the tensile strength becomes more advantageous, which is preferred.
[0134] The average fiber diameter and average fiber length of the fibrous filler (C) can be obtained, for example, by randomly selecting 50 fibers from 10g of fibrous filler, observing and measuring the fiber diameter and length of each fiber under a microscope, and obtaining the average value of the measurement results.
[0135] Furthermore, the average fiber diameter and average fiber length of the fibrous filler (C) mentioned herein refer to the average fiber diameter and average fiber length of the fibrous filler (C) when it is blended with polycarbonate resin (A) to produce polycarbonate resin composition granules, and not to the average length of the long side and the average length of the short side of the fibrous filler (C) in the granules obtained as described below.
[0136] The fibrous filler (C) can undergo surface treatment, wherein the surface of the fibrous filler is coated as needed with fatty acids such as stearic acid or oleic acid, paraffin wax, wax, organosilane, organotitanate, epoxy resin or urethane resin, etc.
[0137] The content of fibrous filler (C) is 1 to 100 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of polycarbonate resin (A). When the content of fibrous filler (C) is less than 1 part by weight, the improvement effect on impact resistance or elastic modulus is insufficient, and when the content exceeds 100 parts by weight, the appearance of the polycarbonate resin molded article may deteriorate. The content is preferably 3 parts by weight or more, more preferably 5 parts by weight or more, more preferably 90 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 80 parts by weight or less.
[0138] [Polycarbonate oligomers]
[0139] The polycarbonate resin compositions of the present invention may contain polycarbonate oligomers to improve the appearance or flowability of the molded articles. The polycarbonate oligomers are, for example, carbonate oligomers with a viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of less than 10,000. The viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of the polycarbonate oligomers is measured using the same method as for the viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of polycarbonate resins.
[0140] The viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of the polycarbonate oligomer is typically 1,500 or more, preferably 2,000 or more, and more preferably 3,000 or more, and typically 9,500 or less, preferably 9,000 or less, and more preferably 8,000 or less. Furthermore, the content of the polycarbonate oligomer is preferably set to 30% by mass or less of the polycarbonate resin.
[0141] There are no particular limitations on the polycarbonate oligomer, as long as it contains a -[OR-OC(=O)]- unit with carbonate bonds in the main molecular chain (R contains an organic group, preferably a hydrocarbon group, and more preferably an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or both an aliphatic group and an aromatic group, and further has a straight-chain or branched structure). In this embodiment, the polycarbonate oligomer is preferably an aromatic polycarbonate oligomer, and more preferably a polycarbonate oligomer with a bisphenol backbone.
[0142] When polycarbonate oligomers are compounded, the affinity between polycarbonate resin (A) and glass fiber tends to improve.

The fibrous filler is dispersed in methanol, and the methanol dispersion of the fibrous filler is added dropwise to a glass plate. The methanol is removed by drying, and then the lengths of the long and short sides of 50 randomly selected fibrous fillers are measured by microscopic observation, and their average values are obtained.
