Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a multilayer body, a multilayer body with a hard coat layer, and a method for producing a thermoformed body. [Background technology]
[0002] Polycarbonate resin is widely used in a variety of fields, not only because of its excellent transparency, but also because it is easier to process and has better impact resistance than glass, and because it does not emit toxic gases compared to other plastic materials. It is also used as a thermoforming material for vacuum forming, pressure forming, and other processes.
[0003] On the other hand, polycarbonate resin generally has low surface hardness, and therefore the surface of molded products made of polycarbonate resin tends to be easily scratched. Therefore, when polycarbonate resin is made into a film, it is being considered to form a layer containing an acrylic resin or a hard coat layer (protective layer) on the surface to prevent scratches on the product surface. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a curable hard coat composition comprising a (meth)acryloyl polymer and inorganic oxide nanoparticles, the (meth)acryloyl polymer having a (meth)acrylic equivalent of 200 to 500 g / eq and a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 to 200,000, and the inorganic oxide nanoparticles having an average particle size of 6 to less than 95 nm. Furthermore, it also describes that the hard coat composition is applied to the surface of a substrate layer in which a polycarbonate resin and a PMMA resin are laminated.

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described in detail. Note that the present embodiment is an example for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to only this embodiment. In this specification, the symbol "to" is used to mean that the numerical values before and after it are included as the upper and lower limits. Furthermore, any combination of the upper and lower limit values of the numerical values in this specification is an example of this embodiment. In this specification, various physical properties and characteristic values are those at 23°C unless otherwise specified. In the description of groups (atomic groups) in this specification, when a notation does not specify whether they are substituted or unsubstituted, it includes both groups (atomic groups) that have no substituents and groups (atomic groups) that have substituents. For example, the term "alkyl group" includes not only alkyl groups that have no substituents (unsubstituted alkyl groups) but also alkyl groups that have substituents (substituted alkyl groups). In this specification, when a notation does not specify whether they are substituted or unsubstituted, it is preferable that they be unsubstituted. Examples of the substituent herein include halogen atoms, cyano groups, nitro groups, hydroxy groups, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, aryl groups, aryloxy groups, heterocyclic groups, heterocyclicoxy groups, alkenyl groups, alkylsulfanyl groups, arylsulfanyl groups, acyl groups, amino groups, vinyl groups, and (meth)acryloyl groups, and more preferably hydroxy groups, alkyl groups, amino groups, vinyl groups, or (meth)acryloyl groups. The formula weight of these substituents is preferably 15 or more and 200 or less. For example, the formula weight of a methyl group (-CH3) is 15. These substituents may further have a substituent, but it is preferable that they have no substituent.
[0010] In this specification, "(meth)allyl" refers to both or either of allyl and methallyl, "(meth)acrylate" refers to both or either of acrylate and methacrylate, "(meth)acrylic" refers to both or either of acrylic and methacrylic, and "(meth)acryloyl" refers to both or either of acryloyl and methacryloyl.
[0011] The multilayer body in this specification is intended to include those in the form of a film or a sheet. The terms "film" and "sheet" refer to a generally flat shaped body having a small thickness relative to its length and width, respectively. Furthermore, the "film" and "sheet" in this specification may be either a single layer or a multilayer body. If the measurement methods, etc. described in the standards shown in this specification vary from year to year, they will be based on the standards in effect as of January 1, 2023, unless otherwise specified. If the measurement methods, etc. described in the standards shown in this specification are obsolete as of January 1, 2023, they will be based on the standards in effect at the time of obsoleteness. In this specification, the term "process" includes not only an independent process but also a process that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes as long as the intended effect of the process is achieved. The scale of Figure 1 may not be consistent with reality.
[0012] The multilayer body of this embodiment comprises a substrate layer containing a thermoplastic resin, and a curable resin layer provided on the surface of the substrate layer and containing a hydrogen-bonding functional group, wherein the substrate layer contains 0.05 to 10 mass % of a compound containing one or more -NH2 groups. This configuration makes it possible to provide a multilayer body having a hard coat layer that is excellent in abrasion resistance and adhesion to the substrate layer. The curable resin layer forms a hard coat layer by curing the curable resin. However, when the curable resin is cured, a gap caused by the conversion from the van der Waals distance to the covalent bond distance may cause curing shrinkage. Such curing shrinkage may cause a decrease in adhesion between the hard coat layer and the substrate layer. However, if the proportion of curable groups in the curable resin layer is reduced to make the curable resin layer less susceptible to curing shrinkage, the scratch resistance that is inherently required of the hard coat layer tends to deteriorate. In the present invention, by configuring the curable resin layer to have a hydrogen-bonding functional group and blending a compound containing one or more -NH2 groups in the substrate layer, it has been possible to successfully suppress a decrease in adhesion between the substrate layer and the hard coat layer while maintaining scratch resistance. That is, when the substrate layer contains a compound containing one or more -NH2 groups, an interaction represented by hydrogen bonding occurs between the hydrogen-bonding functional group contained in the curable resin layer and the compound containing one or more -NH2 groups contained in the substrate layer during curing of the curable resin layer, thereby improving the adhesion between the substrate layer and the cured curable resin layer (hard coat layer). Furthermore, in the multilayer body of this embodiment, the curable resin layer can be cured after thermoforming.
[0013] <Base material layer> The multilayer body of this embodiment includes a substrate layer, which contains a thermoplastic resin and 0.05 to 10 mass % of a compound containing one or more —NH2 groups. The thermoplastic resin contained in the base layer can be appropriately set depending on the application, but it preferably contains at least one of acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, polyamide resin, polyolefin resin, and polyester resin, and it is more preferable that it contains acrylic resin and / or polycarbonate resin.
[0014] The base layer used in the present embodiment preferably includes one or more thermoplastic resin layers, more preferably includes at least an acrylic resin layer, even more preferably includes at least an acrylic resin layer and a polycarbonate resin layer, and even more preferably consists of only an acrylic resin layer and a polycarbonate resin layer. The base layer may have other layers, and examples of such other layers include an adhesive layer and a bonding layer. Furthermore, the compound containing one or more -NH2 groups is preferably contained in the acrylic resin layer or the polycarbonate resin layer, and more preferably in the acrylic resin layer.
[0015] The total thickness of the base layer is preferably 100 μm or more, more preferably 120 μm or more, even more preferably 150 μm or more, even more preferably 170 μm or more, and even more preferably 180 μm or more, and is preferably 4000 μm or less, more preferably 2000 μm or less, even more preferably 1000 μm or less, even more preferably 500 μm or less, and even more preferably 300 μm or less.
[0016] <<Compounds containing one or more -NH2>> The base layer in this embodiment contains a compound containing one or more -NH2 groups, which interacts with the hydrogen-bonding functional groups contained in the curable resin layer, thereby improving the adhesion between the two layers. A compound containing one or more -NH2 preferably has one or more -NH2 groups in one molecule, and may have two or more, and preferably has five or less, and may have three or less. The compound containing one or more -NH2 groups used in this embodiment is preferably a compound that is unevenly distributed in the surface layer of the substrate layer (preferably an acrylic resin layer). By using a compound that is unevenly distributed in the surface layer, the adhesion of the resulting multilayer body can be further improved. As the unevenly distributed compound, a compound having a dipole moment is preferred.
[0017] The amino group equivalent of the compound containing one or more -NH2 is preferably 500 g / mol or less, more preferably 300 g / mol or less, and even more preferably 100 g / mol or less. The amino group equivalent is preferably 0 g / mol, and may be 0.1 g / mol or more. By keeping the equivalent below the upper limit, interaction with the hydrogen-bonding functional groups contained in the curable resin layer tends to be further improved. When the base layer of this embodiment contains two or more types of compounds each containing one or more -NH2 groups, the amino group equivalent of the mixture preferably falls within the above range.
[0018] The molecular weight of the compound containing one or more -NH2 groups is preferably 90 or more, more preferably 100 or more, even more preferably 150 or more, still more preferably 170 or more, and even more preferably 200 or more, and is preferably 500 or less, more preferably 450 or less, even more preferably 400 or less, still more preferably 350 or less, and even more preferably 300 or less. By setting the molecular weight at or above the lower limit, bleeding out onto the surface of the base layer tends to be suppressed. Furthermore, by setting the molecular weight at or below the upper limit, the amino group equivalent becomes smaller, and interaction with the hydrogen-bonding functional group contained in the curable resin layer tends to be further improved. When the base layer of this embodiment contains two or more types of compounds containing one or more -NH2, the molecular weight of the compounds containing one or more -NH2 is the sum (weighted average value) of the values obtained by multiplying the molecular weight of each compound containing one or more -NH2 by the mass fraction of the compound containing one or more -NH2.

[0023] The content of the compound containing one or more -NH2 groups in the substrate layer is preferably 10 ppm or more, more preferably 25 ppm or more, even more preferably 100 ppm or more, and even more preferably 500 ppm or more, when the thermoplastic resin layer in contact with the curable resin layer of the substrate layer, such as an acrylic resin layer or a polycarbonate resin layer, is taken as 100 mass %.

By setting the content at or above the lower limit, the interaction with the hydrogen-bonding functional group contained in the curable resin layer tends to be further improved. Furthermore, by setting the content at or below the upper limit, the transparency and heat resistance of the substrate layer tend to be further improved. The base layer may contain only one type of compound containing one or more -NH2 groups, or may contain two or more types. When two or more types are contained, the total amount is preferably in the above range.

The weight average molecular weight is a polystyrene-equivalent value measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography). When the acrylic resin is a mixture of two or more types, the weight average molecular weight is the sum (weighted average value) of the values obtained by multiplying the weight average molecular weight of each acrylic resin by its mass fraction.

[0112] <Layer structure and properties of multilayer bodies> Next, the layer structure of the multilayer body of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 shows an example of the multilayer body of this embodiment, with 1 indicating the multilayer body, 2 indicating a curable resin layer, 3 indicating an acrylic resin layer, 4 indicating a polycarbonate resin layer, and 5 indicating a substrate layer composed of the acrylic resin layer 3 and the polycarbonate resin layer 4. In FIG. 1, the substrate layer 5 is composed of an acrylic resin layer and a polycarbonate resin layer, but the substrate layer 5 may be composed of only one acrylic resin layer or only one polycarbonate resin layer. The substrate layer may also have two or more acrylic resin layers and / or polycarbonate resin layers. Furthermore, other layers such as thermoplastic resin layers and adhesive layers other than the acrylic resin layer and the polycarbonate resin layer may be included. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable that the curable resin layer 2 is located on the surface of the acrylic resin layer 3 opposite to the polycarbonate resin layer 4. Furthermore, the curable resin layer 2 is provided on the surface of the base layer 5. When the base layer 5 is composed of two or more layers, the layer of the base layer 5 that is closest to the curable resin layer 2 (acrylic resin layer 3 in FIG. 1) contains a compound containing one or more -NH2. However, all of the base layers may contain a compound containing one or more -NH2.
[0113] The multilayer body of the present embodiment may have other layers in addition to those described above. Specific examples include an adhesive layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, an antifouling layer, an antireflection layer, and a polarizing layer. For details of the antireflection layer, please refer to paragraphs 0062 to 0083 of JP 2023-114940 A, paragraphs 0013 to 0041 of JP 2022-174051 A, and paragraphs 0043 to 0046 of JP 2021-081596 A, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0114] In the multilayer body of the present embodiment, the multilayer body with a hard coat layer obtained by curing the curable resin layer preferably has an evaluation result of 0 or 1 in the cross-cut test of the hard coat layer in accordance with JIS-K5600-5-6, and more preferably 0. Such excellent evaluation results in the cross-cut test are achieved by the base layer containing a compound having one or more -NH2 groups.
[0115] The total thickness of the multilayer body of this embodiment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, even more preferably 100 μm or more, and even more preferably 200 μm or more. A larger total thickness tends to improve the rigidity of the multilayer body. Furthermore, the total thickness of the multilayer body is preferably 10,000 μm or less, more preferably 5,000 μm or less, and may be 3,000 μm or less. By achieving such a total thickness, when the multilayer sheet is pressed between rolls and the resin is cooled during molding of the multilayer body, the resin is cooled all the way to the inside of the multilayer body, thereby improving the moldability of the multilayer body.
[0116] <Thermoformed body and method for manufacturing the thermoformed body> Since the cured product can be used as a thermoforming film (functional film, decorative film), it is preferably formed so as to cover the surface of a molded article. That is, in one embodiment, there is provided a thermoforming film-containing molded article comprising a molded article and the cured product according to the present invention arranged on the surface of the molded article.
[0117] The molded article is not particularly limited, but is preferably a molded article having an uneven surface. Examples of the molded article include goggles, sinks, organs, beds, and vehicle housings.

[0120] The molding step is a step of molding a multilayer body on the surface of a molded article. The molding is preferably three-dimensional molding. Since the curable resin layer of the multilayer body is in an uncured state, the moldability of the multilayer body, particularly the three-dimensional moldability, is high. As a result, even in the case of three-dimensional molding, the conformability of the multilayer body is high, and even if the multilayer body after molding is wiped and cleaned with a solvent, it remains clean. Lacking is unlikely to occur.

As described above, the three-dimensional decoration (TOM) molding includes: (1) a vacuum process in which a lower chamber (open at the top) containing a molded article having a textured surface is placed, an upper chamber (open at the bottom) containing a heater, and the multilayer body of the present invention sandwiched between the lower chamber and the upper chamber are airtightly sealed, followed by a vacuum process; (2) a heating process in which the multilayer body is heated using the heater; (3) a contact process in which the molded article having textured surfaces is brought into contact with the heated multilayer body; (4) an upper chamber de-vacuum process in which the upper chamber is placed under atmospheric pressure; and (5) a lower chamber de-vacuum process in which the lower chamber is placed under atmospheric pressure. The upper chamber de-vacuum process may further include an upper chamber pressurization process in which compressed air is introduced into the upper chamber after the upper chamber de-vacuum process. The lower chamber de-vacuum process may further include a trimming process in which a portion of the multilayer body placed on the textured surface is removed after the lower chamber de-vacuum process.
[0124] [Curing process] The curing step is a step of curing the multilayer body. More specifically, it is a step of curing the curable resin layer in the multilayer body by a curing reaction to obtain a cured film of the curable resin layer.
[0125] The curing reaction is not particularly limited, but is preferably carried out by irradiation with active energy rays.
[0126] Examples of the active energy rays include ultraviolet rays, electron beams, and radioactive rays, and ultraviolet rays are preferred.

[0135] <Preparation of Hard Coat Layer-Forming Composition 2 (HC2)> 70 parts by mass of main agent 2 (SMP-220A), 30 parts by mass of auxiliary agent (MEK-AC4130Y), 3 parts by mass of polymerization initiator (Esacure One), and 4 parts by mass of slip agent (BYK-UV3575) were dissolved in a solvent (cyclohexanone) to obtain hard coat layer forming composition 2 (HC2) with a solids concentration of 25% by mass.
[0136] <Production of base layer 1> A compound having an amino group or a compound having a hydroxy group was blended with the resin for forming the base layer shown in Table 2 or Table 3 in the proportions (units: mass %) shown in Table 2 or Table 3, and the mixture was melt-kneaded at a cylinder temperature of 240°C using a vented twin-screw extruder TEX30α (manufactured by The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.) with a screw diameter of 32 mm and a screw L / D = 31.5, and pellets were obtained by strand cutting.
[0137] The pellets were used to prepare a monolayer film (thickness: 200 μm). Specifically, the pellets were continuously introduced and extruded using a T-die melt extruder consisting of a vented twin-screw extruder TEX30α (manufactured by The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.) with a barrel diameter of 32 mm and a screw L / D of 31.5, at a cylinder temperature of 240°C. The extrusion rate of the acrylic resin was controlled so that the PMMA resin film would be 200 μm thick. The extrusion was performed in the form of a sheet through a T-die connected to the extruder, and then cooled while transferring a mirror surface using three mirror-finishing rolls heated to 90°C, 90°C, and 100°C from the upstream side. This produced a monolayer film consisting of an acrylic resin containing a compound having an amino group or a compound having a hydroxy group.
[0138] <Production of base layer 2> Substrate 2 was molded using a multilayer extrusion device equipped with a single-screw extruder with a 32 mm shaft diameter, a single-screw extruder with a 65 mm shaft diameter, a feed block connected to all extruders, and a 650 mm-wide T-die connected to the feed block. Acrylic resin pellets obtained in the production of substrate 1 were continuously introduced into the single-screw extruder with a 32 mm shaft diameter at a cylinder temperature of 240 °C and extruded. Polycarbonate resin (pellets) were continuously introduced into the single-screw extruder with a 65 mm shaft diameter at a cylinder temperature of 280 °C and extruded. The feed block connected to all extruders was equipped with a two-type, two-layer distribution pin. The laminar flow was laminated and extruded into a sheet through a T-die. The mirror surface was transferred and cooled using three mirror-finished rolls heated to 100 °C, 100 °C, and 125 °C from the upstream side, resulting in substrate layer 2 consisting of a polycarbonate resin layer (200 μm thick) and an acrylic resin layer (55 μm thick).
[0139] 2. Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 A composition for forming a hard coat layer shown in Table 2 or Table 3 was applied to the surface of the substrate layer obtained above (the acrylic resin layer side in Example 8), and dried at 130°C for 3 minutes to form a curable resin layer with a thickness of 4 μm, thereby obtaining a multilayer body. The curable resin layer of the multilayer body obtained above was irradiated with ultraviolet light to obtain a multilayer body with a hard coat layer having a thickness of 4 μm. The resulting multilayer body with a hard coat layer was evaluated as follows.
[0140] <Cross-cut test> The surface side of the hard coat layer of the obtained multilayer body with a hard coat layer was cut with a cutter at 2 mm intervals, and cross-cut to create a grid of 25 squares (checkerboard pattern). Cellotape (registered trademark) was pressed onto the cut surface of the surface of the hard coat layer, and the tape was then forcefully peeled off. This procedure was repeated four times from all four sides. The surface condition after peeling was visually classified into a grade of 0 to 5. The samples classified into grades 0 to 5 are shown in Table 1 below. Five experts carried out the series of tasks and evaluated them by majority vote.
[0141] [Table 1]
[0142] <Scratch resistance> The surface of the hard coat layer of the obtained multilayer body with a hard coat layer was scratched by moving #0000 steel wool back and forth 15 times under a pressure of 100 gf / cm. The appearance after scratching was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: No scratches are visible B: Very slight scratches C: Some scratches are visible D: Scratches are visible all over the surface
[0143] The results of the cross-cut test and the evaluation of the scratch resistance are shown in Table 2 or Table 3.
[0144] [Table 2]
[0145] [Table 3]
[0146] In Table 2 or Table 3 above, the proportion (ppm by mass) of nitrogen atoms having an unshared electron pair indicates the proportion (ppm by mass) of nitrogen atoms having an unshared electron pair when the thermoplastic resin layer in contact with the curable resin layer in the base layer is taken as 100% by mass. As is clear from the above results, the multilayer bodies of the present invention had excellent adhesion between the substrate layer and the hard coat layer, and also excellent scratch resistance (Examples 1 to 8). In contrast, when the compound containing one or more -NH2 groups was not included (Comparative Examples 1 to 4), the adhesion between the substrate layer and the hard coat layer was poor.
