Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition and a molded article. [Background technology]

[0002] Polyester resins are widely used as materials for containers of seasonings, beverages, cosmetics, etc., and for food packaging films, because of their excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, rigidity, gas barrier properties, flavor barrier properties, etc. On the other hand, although polyester resins have high rigidity, their high glass transition temperature of about 81°C makes them unsuitable for the production of molded products that require impact resistance.

[0003] Polyamide resins have excellent chemical resistance and oxygen barrier properties and are therefore widely used in fields such as food packaging materials and food containers, automobile parts, etc. However, polyamide resins have low melt tension at molding temperatures, making them difficult to mold into films, sheets, blown products, and the like.

[0004] For these reasons, polymer blends (including polymer alloys) of polyester resins and / or polyamide resins with polyolefin resins have been actively studied. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that by blending polyester resin, olefin resin, and carboxylic acid-modified ethylene-α-olefin copolymer in a specific ratio, it is possible to produce molded articles having high low-temperature impact strength and high rigidity.

[0005] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 describes that by using a resin composition in which a polyamide resin, a polyolefin resin, and two or more types of compatibilizers including a maleic acid-modified polyolefin resin are melt-mixed, excellent impact resistance and excellent rigidity can be obtained.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2001-106886 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2013-129800 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Polymer blends of polyester resin and / or polyamide resin with polyolefin resin are expected to be used in various applications, and therefore are required to have properties suited to each application. However, according to the studies of the present inventors, it has been found that when the compatibilizers described in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 are used, the toughness and appearance of the resulting molded article are insufficient, and further improvement is required.

[0008] An object of one aspect of the present invention is to provide a resin composition which can give a molded article having high mechanical properties and excellent appearance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] As a result of intensive research, the present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by using a modified polymer having a specific structure in a polymer blend of a polyester resin and / or a polyamide resin and a polyolefin resin, and have thus achieved the present invention.

[13] . Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a resin composition capable of giving a molded article having high mechanical properties and excellent appearance. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to each of the following embodiments within the scope of the purpose. In this specification, "to" includes the lower limit and the upper limit. In addition, for each preferred range, the upper limit and the lower limit can be used in any combination.

[0013] <1.Resin composition> A resin composition according to one embodiment of the present invention contains a polyester resin and / or a polyamide resin (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a polyester resin and / or a polyamide resin (A)), a polyolefin resin (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a polyolefin resin (B)), and a modified polymer (C) modified with a carboxylic acid and / or a carboxylic acid derivative.

[0014] In a resin composition of a polymer blend of a polyester resin and / or a polyamide resin (A) and a polyolefin resin (B), a compatibilizer may be used to improve the compatibility between the resins. As such a compatibilizer, JP 2001-106886 A proposes the use of a carboxylic acid-modified ethylene-α-olefin copolymer. In addition, JP 2013-129800 A proposes two or more compatibilizers including a maleic acid-modified polyolefin resin.

[0015] However, the polymer blend containing such a compatibilizer has room for improvement in mechanical properties such as tensile modulus, tensile elongation at break, and Charpy impact strength, etc. Also, the molded product of the polymer blend may have so-called lumps due to poor dispersion of the polyester resin, and the appearance may need to be improved.

[0016] In one aspect of the present invention, a molded article having high mechanical properties and excellent appearance can be provided by using a modified polymer (C) having a specific structure in the polymer blend. Although the mechanism is not clear, it is believed that the modified polymer (C) has a carboxylic acid and / or a carboxylic acid derivative, and thus the modified polymer (C) reacts appropriately with the polyester resin and / or polyamide resin (A) and can impart a molecular structure that is easily compatible with the polyolefin resin (B). As a result, the resin composition according to one aspect of the present invention exhibits physical properties that combine the fluidity and rigidity of the polyester resin and / or polyamide resin (A) and the toughness of the polyolefin resin (B) by promoting dispersion during mixing, and a molded article having excellent appearance can be obtained.

[0017] Thus, according to one aspect of the present invention, when waste of molded articles containing a polyester resin and / or a polyamide resin (A) and a polyolefin resin (B) is recycled, a new resin composition and a molded article thereof can be produced with high efficiency while minimizing the deterioration of physical properties. Such an effect also contributes to the achievement of, for example, Goal 12 "Responsible Consumption and Production" of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) advocated by the United Nations.

[0018] <1-1. Polyester resin and / or polyamide resin (A)> The resin composition according to one embodiment of the present invention contains a polyester resin and / or a polyamide resin (A). Here, the polyester resin and / or the polyamide resin (A) may be a resin containing both a polyester resin and a polyamide resin, or a resin containing only one of a polyester resin and a polyamide resin.

[0019] (1-1-1. Polyester resin) The polyester resin is a polycondensation product of an aromatic or aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and a diol. In producing the polyester resin, one kind of dicarboxylic acid and one kind of diol may be selected and produced under normal polycondensation conditions, or two or more kinds may be appropriately combined and produced.

If the intrinsic viscosity of the polyester resin used is 0.30 (dl / g) or less, the moldability may deteriorate due to low melt tension, and the mechanical properties of the molded body such as a film may become unsatisfactory, which is not preferable. If the intrinsic viscosity of the polyester resin used is 0.85 (dl / g) or more, the moldability may deteriorate due to high melt viscosity.
