[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a composite prepared in an example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The following describes an example of an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "the present embodiment"). However, the embodiment described below is merely an example for embodying the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following description. In addition, although preferred embodiments are shown in this specification, a combination of two or more of the individual preferred embodiments is also a preferred embodiment. When there are several numerical ranges for matters shown as numerical ranges, the lower limit and upper limit can be selectively combined to form a preferred embodiment. In this specification, when a numerical range is stated as "XX to YY", it means "XX or more and YY or less." In addition, in this specification, the term "unit" (where "" indicates a monomer) means "a structural unit derived from". For example, a "dicarboxylic acid unit" means "a structural unit derived from a dicarboxylic acid", and a "diamine unit" means "a structural unit derived from a diamine".

[0011] [Polyamide composition] The polyamide composition according to the present embodiment is a polyamide composition containing a polyamide (A) and an epoxy resin (B), wherein the polyamide (A) contains dicarboxylic acid units and diamine units, the dicarboxylic acid units contain 50 mol% or more of structural units derived from at least one selected from the group consisting of terephthalic acid and naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, relative to 100 mol% of all dicarboxylic acid units, and the diamine units contain 60 mol% or more of aliphatic diamine units having 7 to 13 carbon atoms, the softening point of the epoxy resin (B) obtained in accordance with JIS K 7196:2012 is 70°C or more and 110°C or less, and the content of the epoxy resin (B) in the polyamide composition is more than 0 mass% and 20 mass% or less.

[0012] The polyamide composition according to the present embodiment has high adhesive strength and is excellent in heat distortion resistance, heat aging resistance, and rigidity. Although the details of the reasons for this are unknown, it is presumed to be due to the following reasons. The polyamide composition according to the present embodiment contains a polyamide (A) and an epoxy resin (B). Hydroxyl groups are generated by reaction of the end groups of the polyamide (A) with the epoxide contained in the epoxy resin (B). It is believed that the generated hydroxyl groups provide the polyamide composition with high adhesive strength, excellent heat distortion resistance, and excellent heat aging resistance. The epoxy resin (B) contained in the polyamide composition according to the present embodiment has a softening point of 70° C. or more and 110° C. or less. When the polyamide composition contains an epoxy resin (B) having such a specific softening point, the generated components having hydroxyl groups are prevented from evaporating during melt-kneading, and it is believed that the polyamide composition exhibits excellent heat distortion resistance and heat aging resistance. Furthermore, the epoxy resin (B) is less likely to bleed out during molding. When the polyamide composition is heated, a crosslinking reaction between the polyamide (A) and the epoxy resin (B) proceeds. For these reasons, it is believed that the heat aging resistance of the polyamide composition is further improved. Furthermore, although the polyamide composition contains polyamide (A) and epoxy resin (B), the rigidity of the polyamide (A) is maintained, so the polyamide composition also has excellent rigidity.

[Example]

[0060] The present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0061] The measurements and evaluations in the examples and comparative examples were carried out according to the methods shown below.

[0062] 1. Terminal amino group content The amount of terminal amino groups in polyamide (A) was measured by dissolving 1 g of each polyamide obtained in the Production Examples in 35 mL of phenol, adding 2 mL of methanol to prepare a sample solution. Using thymol blue as an indicator, titration was carried out using a 0.01 N hydrochloric acid solution to measure the terminal amino group content ([NH2], unit: μeq / g) of polyamide (A). 2. Softening point The softening point of the epoxy resin (B) was determined in accordance with JIS K 7196: 2012. More specifically, the softening point was determined by measuring in the penetration mode of a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) in a dry air ambient atmosphere while increasing the temperature at a rate of 5°C per minute.

[0063] 3. Epoxy equivalent The epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin (B) was determined in accordance with JIS K 7236: 2009. More specifically, it was measured by indicator titration using a perchloric acid-acetic acid solution.

[0064] 4. Tensile strength and tensile modulus (Preparation of test specimens) Using the polyamide compositions obtained in the Examples and Comparative Examples, dumbbell-shaped tensile test specimens (Type A1) were prepared in accordance with JIS K 7139: 2009. Specifically, using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., mold clamping force: 100 tons, screw diameter: φ32 mm), a cylinder temperature was set to 320°C, an actual mold temperature was set to 140°C, and a T-runner mold was used to prepare dumbbell-shaped tensile test specimens (Type A1) (4 mm thick, total length 170 mm, parallel portion length 80 mm, parallel portion width 10 mm) at an injection speed of 130 mm / sec. (measurement) Using the dumbbell-shaped tensile test specimen (Type A1) prepared by the above method, tensile properties were measured in accordance with ISO 527-1:2019. Specifically, the tensile strength and tensile modulus at 23°C were measured using an autograph (Instron, Universal Testing Machine 5969, video extensometer used). Note that the higher the tensile strength and tensile modulus values ​​of the dumbbell 0012-type tensile test specimen, the more excellent the rigidity.

[0065] 5. Heat distortion temperature The dumbbell-shaped tensile test specimen (Type A1) prepared by the method described in "4. Tensile Properties" above was cut to prepare a test specimen (4 mm thick, 80 mm total length, 10 mm width), and the heat distortion temperature (°C) was measured using an HDT tester (S-3M, manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisaku-sho, Ltd.) in accordance with ISO75:2013. Note that the higher the heat distortion temperature of the dumbbell-shaped tensile test specimen, the better its heat distortion resistance.

[0066] 6. Tensile strength retention (heat aging resistance) The dumbbell-shaped tensile test specimen (Type A1) prepared by the method described in "4. Tensile Properties" above was left to stand for 1000 hours in a thermostatic chamber (DE-303, manufactured by Mita Sangyo Co., Ltd.) set at 130°C. After 1000 hours, the test specimen was removed from the thermostatic chamber and the tensile strength at 23°C was measured using the same method as described in "3. Tensile Strength and Tensile Modulus" above. The tensile strength retention rate was calculated from the obtained tensile strength (tensile strength after 1000 hours) and the initial tensile strength (tensile strength obtained in "4. Tensile strength and tensile modulus") using the following formula (X). Tensile strength retention rate (%) = (tensile strength after 1000 hours / initial tensile strength) × 100 Formula (X) The higher the tensile strength retention rate, the more excellent the heat aging resistance.

[0067] 7.Adhesive strength (Preparation of the complex) Using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., clamping force: 100 tons, screw diameter: φ32 mm), a cylinder temperature was set to 320°C, an actual mold temperature was set to 140°C, and a T-runner mold was used to produce composite test pieces (2 mm thick, 25 mm × 100 mm) from the polyamide compositions (pellets) obtained in the examples and comparative examples at an injection speed of 130 mm / sec. The surfaces of the obtained composite test piece and metal piece (JIS K 6850:1999 aluminum test piece, manufactured by Standard Test Piece Co., Ltd., 1.6 mm thick, 25 mm × 100 mm) were washed with acetone and air-dried. The surface of the metal piece was then polished with #240 abrasive paper. Next, as shown in Figure 1, an adhesive (3M® Scotch-Weld® two-part epoxy adhesive DP125, clear, manufactured by 3M Japan Ltd.) was applied to the adhesive margin (6 mm) of the composite test piece, and the metal piece was placed on the adhesive surface. The test pieces were then pressed together to prevent air bubbles from being trapped in the adhesive. The test pieces were then left standing at 50°C for 2 hours, and then at 23°C for 3 days to cure the adhesive, yielding a composite (see Figure 1). (measurement) The adhesive strength of the composites prepared by the above method was measured in accordance with JIS K 6850:1999. Specifically, a tensile test was performed using an autograph (Instron Corporation, Universal Testing Machine 5969, using a video extensometer) at 23°C with a chuck distance of 115 mm, a tensile speed of 20 mm / min, and a gripping distance of 38 mm. The peel force was measured and used as the adhesive strength. A 2.0 mm thick spacer was placed between the autograph chuck and the metal specimen, and a 1.6 mm thick spacer was placed between the autograph chuck and the composite specimen, with the adhesive surface positioned near the center of the chuck.
