Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a graft copolymer of an organopolysiloxane and vinyl chloride and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vinyl chloride-silicone graft copolymer having slidability, water repellency, alcohol resistance, substrate adhesion, and transparency, and a method for producing the same.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, silicone-based resins are known as resins that can impart slidability to a substrate. However, when a silicone-based resin is used alone, there are problems such as poor adhesion to the substrate.

[0003] Therefore, a method of copolymerizing a silicone-based resin with another monomer such as an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, or a vinyl acetate resin has been used. Copolymers such as acrylic silicone and urethane silicone can impart advantages such as weather resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, water repellency, gas permeability, and slidability of the silicone resin to the properties of the acrylic resin or urethane resin.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2020-90563) discloses a silicone acrylic graft copolymer resin having slidability and a method for producing the same. Further, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2022-131528) discloses a vinyl acetate-silicone copolymer resin having slidability, substrate adhesion, and organic solvent solubility, and a method for producing the same.

[0005] On the other hand, it is also known that vinyl chloride resin is copolymerized with another monomer and used. For example, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin in which vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate are copolymerized can be mentioned. Patent Document 3 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2001-114839) etc. disclose a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin and a method for producing the same, and it is known that color developability and adhesion can be enhanced by using it for a substrate such as an ink material or an acceptance layer.

[0006] Although it has been known to react and copolymerize silicone-based resins or vinyl chloride resins with different monomers respectively, attempts to copolymerize vinyl chloride and organopolysiloxanes (silicone-based resins) have rarely been made because they are originally incompatible with each other. Also, even if silicone and vinyl chloride are copolymerized, it has not been considered that a resin that makes use of the respective performances can be obtained.

[0007] Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-166520) discloses that a resin obtained by graft-polymerizing silicone onto a vinyl chloride resin has good oxygen permeability, and the resin has been considered for use in the packaging field related to fresh foods and medical blood bags. However, it has low practicality for use in sheet-forming roll kneaded materials for such applications and there is room for improvement.

[0008] Also, Patent Document 5 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 07-102146) discloses that the use of a block copolymer resin composed of vinyl chloride and a siloxane block improves peelability during calender roll processing. Patent Document 6 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 09-255705) discloses polymerizing vinyl chloride in the presence of a copolymer resin of siloxane and acrylic. These are uses as additives during the production of vinyl chloride resins, and little research has been conducted on vinyl chloride-silicone copolymer resins until now.

[0009] Furthermore, a method of mixing a silicone resin emulsion and a vinyl chloride resin emulsion to obtain a coating agent is also conceivable, but in the mixture, the silicone component bleeds out and the desired performance cannot be obtained, and there is room for improvement.

[1956] , Doklady Akad. Nauk. U.S.S.R. 89 65

[1953] ).

In this case, the vinyl chloride-silicone graft copolymer and other components can be mixed and dissolved by a known mixing and preparation method such as a propeller stirrer, a homogenizer, a ball mill, or a bead mill to obtain a coating agent. When the coating agent is applied or immersed on one or both sides of a substrate such as glass or resin and dried, slidability and substrate adhesion can be imparted.

[0048] Hereinafter, examples and comparative examples will be shown to specifically explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples. In addition, the molecular weights described below are weight average molecular weights (Mw) determined by viscosity measurement obtained from the specific viscosity of a toluene solution of organopolysiloxane at a concentration of 1 g / 100 ml. In the following examples, "parts" and "%" indicate parts by mass and mass%, respectively.

[0049] [Example 1] 1200 g of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, 4.8 g of γ-methacryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, a solution prepared by dissolving 12 g of sodium lauryl sulfate in 108 g of pure water, and a solution prepared by dissolving 12 g of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid in 108 g of pure water were charged into a 4 L polyethylene beaker, emulsified uniformly with a homomixer, and then gradually diluted by adding 728 g of water. The mixture was passed through a high-pressure homogenizer twice at a pressure of 300 kgf / cm 2 to obtain a uniform white emulsion. This emulsion was transferred to a 2 L glass flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and reflux condenser, and subjected to a polymerization reaction at 55°C for 24 hours. After aging at 15°C for 24 hours, it was neutralized to pH 7 with a 10% aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The non-volatile content (solid content) of this emulsion after drying at 105°C for 3 hours was 44%, and the organopolysiloxane in the emulsion was in the form of a non-flowing soft gel.

[Equation] R: Solid content (evaporation residue) (%) W: Mass of the aluminum foil dish containing the sample before drying (g) L: Mass of the aluminum foil dish (g) T: Mass of the aluminum foil dish containing the dried sample (g) Dimensions of the aluminum foil dish: 65φ×23h (mm)

[0062] [Viscosity Measurement Method] The liquid temperature of the sample was maintained at 23 ± 0.5°C and measured with a rotational viscometer (No. 1 rotor, 6 rpm, manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.: product name: VISCOMETER TVB-10).

[0063] [Average Particle Size] The average particle diameter was measured by weighing 0.01 g of the sample and using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (manufactured by Horiba, Ltd., product name: LA-950V2) to measure the average particle diameter (the particle diameter value corresponding to 50% of the particle size cumulative distribution) under the conditions of a circulation flow rate of 2 and a stirring speed of 2. [Measurement Conditions] Measurement temperature: 25 ± 1 °C Solvent: Ion-exchanged water

[0064] <Measurement of the Minimum Film Formation Temperature (MFT)> The minimum film formation temperature (MFT, °C) of the emulsion was measured by a method conforming to JIS K-6828-2. Specifically, a simple film formation temperature measuring device (manufactured by Imoto Seisakusho) in which a heating source and a cooling source were installed at a certain distance was used. 1 μl of the emulsion was applied to an aluminum foil, and the state of the coating film after 2 hours was observed using the device. The emulsion was dried under temperature control to form a film, and the boundary temperature between the transparent part and the non-film-forming part was measured as the minimum film formation temperature (MFT, °C). Considering the dryness during film formation, an MFT of 100 °C or lower is desirable.

[0065] <Measurement of Static and Kinetic Friction Coefficients> The emulsions of each example and comparative example were applied to a PET film using a bar coater and dried at 105 °C for 3 minutes to form a coating film such that the film thickness after drying was approximately 10 μm. Using HEIDON TYPE-38 (manufactured by Shinto Kagaku Co., Ltd.), a 200 g metal pressure head was brought into perpendicular contact with the above coating film, and the frictional force when moving at 3 cm / min was measured, and the friction coefficient was calculated from the frictional force. The preferable ranges of the static and kinetic friction coefficients under the above conditions are that the static friction coefficient is 0.2 or less and the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.1 or less.

[0066] <Adhesion to Substrate> The emulsions of each example and comparative example were applied to a soft vinyl chloride film using a bar coater and dried at 105 °C for 3 minutes to form a coating film such that the film thickness after drying was approximately 10 μm. Cellophane tape was attached to the coating film and peeled off all at once, and the adhesion was visually evaluated. ○: No peeling from the substrate ×: Detachment from the substrate

[0067] <Alcohol resistance> The emulsions of each example and comparative example were applied to a PET film using a bar coater and dried at 105 °C for 3 minutes to form a coating film such that the film thickness after drying was approximately 10 μm. 98% ethanol was dropped onto the coating film and air-dried at room temperature overnight. The change in the coating film after air-drying was visually evaluated. ○: No change in appearance △: Traces remain but no whitening ×: Whitening

[0068] <Water contact angle measurement> The emulsions of each example and comparative example were applied to a PET film using a bar coater and dried at 105 °C for 3 minutes to form a coating film such that the film thickness after drying was approximately 10 μm. 2 μl of pure water was dropped onto the coating film, and the contact angle values after 1 second and 30 seconds were measured using a contact angle meter CA-D type manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd. Considering the prevention of adhesion of aqueous stains due to water repellency, a contact angle of 80° (degrees) or more is preferable.
