Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a multilayer dust cover for head-up displays. In particular, it relates to a multilayer comprising a polycarbonate resin layer and an acrylic resin layer. Background Technology
[0002] In addition to its excellent transparency, polycarbonate resin also has superior processability and impact resistance compared to glass. Furthermore, compared to other plastic materials, there is no need to worry about toxic gases. Therefore, it is widely used in various fields and is also used as a thermoforming material for vacuum forming and air compression forming.
[0003] On the other hand, because polycarbonate resin typically has low surface hardness, molded products made from polycarbonate resin are often easily scratched. Therefore, research has been conducted on techniques that, when polycarbonate resin is formed into a film, form a layer containing acrylic resin or an infrared absorbing layer (protective layer) on the surface to prevent scratches on the product surface. Such multilayers are described in Patent Documents 1 and 2.

[0005] The problem that the invention aims to solve Therefore, tungsten oxide is typically added to the infrared absorbing layer as described above to suppress near-infrared transmission. Increasing the tungsten oxide content has been considered to further improve weather resistance. However, the inventors of this invention have discovered that interlayer adhesion (especially the adhesion of the infrared absorbing layer to the substrate) deteriorates depending on the tungsten oxide content.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram illustrating an example of a multilayer body according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The following will describe in detail specific embodiments for implementing the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "this embodiment"). It should be noted that the following embodiments are merely illustrative examples for illustrating the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0022] It should be noted that in this specification, "~" is used to indicate the lower and upper limits, including the values recorded before and after it.
[0023] Unless otherwise stated, all property values and characteristic values in this specification refer to values at 23°C.
[0024] In this specification, unless otherwise stated, the weight-average molecular weight and number-average molecular weight are polystyrene equivalent values determined by GPC (gel permeation chromatography).
[0025] In this specification, "(meth)acrylate" means either or both of acrylate and methacrylate.
[0026] In this specification, "multilayer body" means including articles that form the shape of a film or sheet. "Film" and "sheet" refer to molded articles that are thin relative to their length and width, and are generally flat. Furthermore, "film" and "sheet" in this specification can be single-layered or multi-layered.
[0027] Where the measurement methods described in accordance with the standards given in this instruction manual vary from year to year, the standards based on the date of January 1, 2022 shall be used unless otherwise stated.
[0028] The accompanying diagrams are schematic diagrams, and the scale may differ from the actual figures.
[0029] In this specification, near-infrared light refers to light with a wavelength of 700nm to 2500nm.
[0030] The multilayer body of this embodiment is a multilayer body having a substrate layer and an infrared absorption layer. The infrared absorption layer comprises an ultraviolet-curable resin and tungsten oxide. The ultraviolet-curable resin contains a component derived from a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate with a weight-average molecular weight of 1000 or more. The proportion of the tungsten oxide in the infrared absorption layer is 25 to 50% by mass.
[0031] By adopting this structure, multilayer bodies with excellent weather resistance and excellent interlayer adhesion can be obtained.
[0032] By setting the tungsten oxide content in the infrared absorption layer to 25-50% by mass, weather resistance can be improved. However, both excessive and insufficient tungsten oxide content can lead to inadequate curing and poor adhesion. The resin composition of this embodiment maintains high adhesion by using a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate with a weight-average molecular weight of 1000 or higher. The inventors infer that this is because the larger molecular weight allows for relaxation of shrinkage stress between crosslinking points, thereby reducing curing shrinkage.
[0033] The following describes the details of the invention.
[0034] <Infrared Absorption Layer> The infrared absorbing layer in this embodiment comprises an ultraviolet-curable resin and tungsten oxide. The ultraviolet-curable resin contains components derived from polyfunctional (meth)acrylates with a weight-average molecular weight of 1000 or higher. Typically, the infrared absorbing layer is formed in a cured state of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate with a weight-average molecular weight of 1000 or higher.

[0051] The double bond equivalent of the UV-curable resin is 400 g / mol or less, preferably 360 g / mol or less, and more preferably 250 g / mol or less. Setting the value above or above this lower limit often improves the hardness of the resulting infrared absorption layer. A lower limit of 100 g / mol or more is preferred.
[0052] The weight-average molecular weight of the UV-curable resin is 1000 or more, preferably 2000 or more, and more preferably 3000 or more.

Furthermore, the weight-average molecular weight of the UV-curable resin is preferably 100,000 or less, more preferably 50,000 or less, and even more preferably 30,000 or less. By setting it below the upper limit value, coating is easier.
[0053] The weight-average molecular weight of the UV-curable resin in this embodiment is the value obtained by the following method.
[0054] The weight-average molecular weight of the UV-curable resin can be measured based on the description in paragraphs
[0061] to
[0064] of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2007-179018. Details of the measurement method are shown below.
[0055] First, a calibration curve showing the relationship between elution time and the molecular weight of the UV-curable resin was prepared using the Universal Calibration Method with polystyrene as the standard polymer. Then, the elution curve (chromatogram) of the UV-curable resin was measured under the same conditions as the calibration curve. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) was then calculated based on the elution time (molecular weight) and the peak area (number of molecules) at that elution time. The weight-average molecular weight is expressed by equation (A), where Ni represents the number of molecules with a molecular weight Mi.
[0056] Mw=Σ(NiMi2 ) / Σ(NiMi)(A) Device: Waters Corporation, Alliance Chromatographic columns: Shodex K-805L (two columns) manufactured by Showa Denko Co., Ltd. Detector: UV detector, wavelength 254nm Eluent: Chloroform.

By setting it below the above-mentioned upper limit value, excellent transparency can be maintained.
[0064] The infrared absorbing layer of this embodiment may contain only one type of tungsten oxide, or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, the total amount is preferably within the above-mentioned range.

[0066] <<Photopolymerization Initiators>> In this embodiment, the infrared absorbing layer may further contain a photopolymerization initiator. The photopolymerization initiator can be any known photopolymerization initiator, as long as it can cure the UV-curable resin.
[0067] As a photopolymerization initiator, a photoradical initiator that can break bonds and generate free radicals under the action of visible light or ultraviolet light with a wavelength shorter than 450 nm is preferred.

[0080] <Layer Composition of Multi-layer Structures> Next, the layer structure of the multilayer body in this embodiment will be described.
[0081] The multilayer in this embodiment has a substrate layer and an infrared absorbing layer. The substrate layer preferably comprises an acrylic resin layer and a polycarbonate resin layer, more preferably, both acrylic resin and polycarbonate resin layers, and the infrared absorbing layer is located on the side of the polycarbonate resin layer opposite to the acrylic resin layer. By adopting this configuration, a multilayer with superior weather resistance can be obtained.
[0082] The following is for reference Figure 1 This section describes a preferred example of a multilayer structure in this embodiment. It goes without saying that the multilayer structure in this embodiment is not limited to... Figure 1 The method described above.
[0083] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram illustrating an example of a multilayer structure according to this embodiment. 1 represents the multilayer structure, 2 represents the acrylic resin layer, 3 represents the polycarbonate resin layer, and 4 represents the infrared absorbing layer. In the multilayer structure 1 of this embodiment, the infrared absorbing layer 4 is located on the side of the polycarbonate resin layer 3 opposite to the acrylic resin layer 2. This configuration improves the weather resistance of the multilayer structure. It should be noted that in this specification, the acrylic resin layer 2 and the polycarbonate resin layer 3 are sometimes referred to together as the substrate. Furthermore, it is self-evident that the substrate may also include other layers without departing from the spirit of the invention. Details of these other layers will be described later.
[0084] The infrared absorption layer 4 can be the outermost layer of the multilayer 1. By providing the infrared absorption layer 4, the surface hardness of the multilayer can often be further improved. In the multilayer 1 of this embodiment, it is preferable to stack the acrylic resin layer 2, the polycarbonate resin layer 3, and the infrared absorption layer 4 in that order, with the infrared absorption layer 4 located on the surface of the polycarbonate resin layer 3. By placing the infrared absorption layer 2 on the surface of the polycarbonate resin layer 3, the formability of the infrared absorption layer 2 (the coatability of the composition for forming the infrared absorption layer) can be further improved. As long as the multilayer of this embodiment stacks the acrylic resin layer 2, the polycarbonate resin layer 3, and the infrared absorption layer 4 in the above order, other layers may be present without departing from the spirit of this embodiment, but it is preferable that there are no other layers, that is, the above three layers are adjacent to each other.
[0085] Furthermore, the multilayer in this embodiment can be a flame-retardant substrate in which at least one of the acrylic resin layer and the polycarbonate resin layer contains 0.01 to 0.80% by mass of metal sulfonate.

[0224] <Adhesion> The adhesion between the infrared absorption layer and the substrate was evaluated according to the evaluation method of JIS K5600-5-6:1999. The adhesion ratings of the examples and comparative examples with the evaluation result classified as "0" were rated as "A", and the adhesion ratings of those with the evaluation results classified as "1" to "5" were rated as "C".
[0225] <Heat resistance test> The fabricated laminate was heated in an oven at a temperature of 120 °C for 5 minutes, and the degree of crack generation was evaluated as described below.

[0229] The above components were weighed according to the addition amounts described in Table 3 (all components in Table 3 are expressed as mass %). Then, after mixing with a tumbler for 15 minutes, the mixture was melt-blended using a twin-screw extruder (TEX30α, manufactured by Nippon Steel Corporation) with a 32mm screw diameter and equipped with a vent, and the resulting material was cut into granules. It should be noted that the polycarbonate resin layer forming resin composition (granules) was melt-blended at a temperature that was adjusted according to the resin viscosity between 260 and 300°C, while the acrylic resin layer forming resin composition (granules) was melt-blended at 260°C.

The acrylic resin layer of each flame-retardant substrate shown in the table was introduced into the single-screw extruder with a shaft diameter of 32 mm, and extrusion was performed at a barrel temperature of 240°C and a discharge rate of 0.3–6.4 kg / h. Furthermore, the polycarbonate resin layer forming resin composition (granules) of each flame-retardant substrate shown in Table 1 was continuously introduced into the single-screw extruder with a shaft diameter of 65 mm, and extrusion was performed at a discharge rate of 17.4–23.5 kg / h, with the barrel temperature varying between 250°C and 290°C depending on the resin viscosity. The feeding unit connected to all extruders was equipped with two types of double-layer distributors (distribution pins) for extrusion and stacking. The material is extruded into sheets using a T-shaped die connected to the front end of the extruder. Simultaneously, it is mirror-transferred using three mirror-polishing rollers with temperatures of 120°C, 120°C, and 140°C from the upstream side, while being cooled to obtain various flame-retardant substrates.
[0231] Fabrication of Multilayers (Coating of Infrared Absorption Layers) The same infrared absorption layer forming composition as in Example 9 was applied to the surface of the polycarbonate resin layer of the substrate layer obtained as described above. The coating was dried in an oven at 80°C for 3 minutes and then cured under nitrogen atmosphere using a Heraeus UV irradiation system until the cumulative light intensity reached 500 mJ / cm². 2 (UV illuminance meter manufactured by ORC, measuring wavelength 360nm) <Evaluation> Similar to Example 1, the full-spectrum transmittance, transmittance at a wavelength of 1000 nm, haze after weathering test, adhesion, heat resistance test, and FMVSS were evaluated.

[0236] The above-mentioned hard coating resin composition was applied to the outermost surface (the surface of the acrylic resin layer) of the multilayer, opposite to the side containing the infrared absorbing layer, using a doctor blade coater. The applied hard coating resin composition was dried in an oven at 80°C for 3 minutes and then cured under nitrogen atmosphere using a Heraeus UV irradiation system until the cumulative light intensity reached 500 mJ / cm². 2 (Using an ORC UV illuminometer, measuring wavelength 360nm), a hard coating with a thickness of 4.5μm was formed.
[0237] <Evaluation> Similar to Example 1, the full-spectrum transmittance, transmittance at a wavelength of 1000 nm, haze after weathering test, adhesion, heat resistance test, and FMVSS were evaluated.
[0238] [Table 4] In the table above, HC layer coating describes the composition of the hard coating layer on the surface of the acrylic resin layer, and a and b represent the composition of the resin composition used for the hard coating layer.
[0239] As shown in Tables 1 to 4 above, the multilayer of the present invention exhibits low haze and excellent interlayer adhesion after weathering tests (Examples 1 to 16). Furthermore, the multilayer of the present invention has high full-spectrum transmittance, low near-infrared transmittance, and excellent heat resistance. Moreover, when a flame-retardant substrate is used (Examples 10 to 12, 15, and 16), flame retardancy is also excellent.
