Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition and a molded article. [Background technology]
[0002] Taking advantage of their excellent processability, thermoplastic resins are used in a wide variety of products, including electrical and electronic components, packaging materials, and general household goods, as well as press-molded products, injection-molded products, extrusion-molded products such as films and sheets, and hollow-molded products. Their applications are expanding, and designs are becoming increasingly diverse. As a result, the demand for small-lot, high-mix production of molded products is increasing, necessitating frequent changes in resin materials in thermoplastic resin processing equipment. When changing resin materials, disassembling and cleaning the processing equipment each time is essential to eliminate the impact of residue from the previous thermoplastic resin substrate on the molding of the new thermoplastic resin substrate. However, this requires cooling, disassembly, cleaning, assembly, and heating of the processing equipment, which reduces productivity and increases costs. Therefore, to maintain productivity, resin compositions have traditionally been used as cleaning agents. Cleaning agents clean the interior of processing equipment without disassembly; they are simply supplied from the resin supply and discharged from the processing equipment along with the molding resin. Cleaning agents are also effective when disassembling the processing equipment. That is, after molding, the thermoplastic resin substrate remains inside the thermoplastic resin processing equipment, and when it is cooled for disassembly, the molten resin solidifies, hindering removal of the screw, cylinder, and die. However, if a detergent is used to remove the thermoplastic resin substrate from inside the processing equipment, removal of the screw, etc. becomes easier during disassembly.
[0003] The cleaning agent has a cleaning effect by mechanically scraping out the resin composition remaining inside the thermoplastic resin processing equipment, particularly the screw, cylinder, and die of the extruder or injection molding machine (purging effect) and wiping effect. Known cleaning agent compositions include a polyethylene resin crosslinked to a gel fraction of 35 to 90% (Patent Document 1) and a thermoplastic resin, particularly a resin composition comprising a polyethylene resin and a thermoplastic ultra-high molecular weight resin (Patent Document 2).

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a resin composition that can shorten the cleaning time for the screw, cylinder, and die. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The resin composition and molded article according to this embodiment will be described in detail below, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment in any way and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the object of the present invention. In this embodiment, a numerical range expressed using "to" means a range that includes the numerical values written before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits. In the numerical ranges described in stages in this embodiment, the upper or lower limit value described in a certain numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit value of another numerical range described in stages. Furthermore, in the numerical ranges described in this embodiment, the upper or lower limit value described in a certain numerical range may be replaced with a value shown in an example.
[0009] 1.Resin composition The resin composition according to this embodiment contains an adhesive thermoplastic resin (A) and a silylated polyolefin (B) represented by the following formula (1), and the mass ratio of the content of the silylated polyolefin (B) to the content of the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A) in the resin composition is 0.0001 to 0.3.
[0010] [ka] In the above formula (1), A 1 , A 2 and A 3 are each independently a polyolefin chain or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. R is a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Each R may be the same or different. m is an integer of 1 to 10,000. A 3 If there are multiple A 3 may be the same or different, provided that A 1 , A 2 , A 3 At least one of these represents a polyolefin chain.
[0011] The present inventors surmise that silicones and the like, which are generally used as processing aids, have low affinity with thermoplastic resins, and therefore cannot sufficiently suppress the increase in shear stress at high shear rates during kneading, and that the surface smoothness of the resulting resin composition is insufficient. On the other hand, the silylated polyolefin (B) has a high affinity with the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A). Therefore, the present inventors presume that by adding an appropriate amount of silylated polyolefin (B), a resin composition containing the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A) and the silylated polyolefin (B) has a high surface silicon concentration and reduced surface free energy, and therefore adhesion of the adhesive thermoplastic resin to the screw, cylinder, and die can be sufficiently suppressed even after use.
[0012] Furthermore, since the highly polar silyl groups have low affinity with the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A), they are arranged toward the outside of the surface of the resin composition, and since the olefin moieties of the silylated polyolefin (B) have high affinity with the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A), the olefin moieties interact with the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A). This makes it difficult for the silylated polyolefin (B) to fall off from the surface of the resin composition, and the inventors presume that as a result, adhesion of the adhesive thermoplastic resin to the screw, cylinder, and die can be sufficiently suppressed even after use.
[0013] In the resin composition according to this embodiment, the mass ratio of the content of the silylated polyolefin (B) to the content of the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A) in the resin composition is 0.0001 to 0.3, preferably 0.0002 to 0.1, more preferably 0.0003 to 0.05, and even more preferably 0.0005 to 0.005.
[0014] In the resin composition according to this embodiment, the total content of the adhesive thermoplastic resin (A) and the silylated polyolefin (B) may be 10% by mass or more when the entire resin composition is taken as 100% by mass.

For example, ethylene homopolymers, propylene homopolymers, copolymers of ethylene and an α-olefin having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, and copolymers of propylene and an α-olefin having 4 to 10 carbon atoms can be mentioned. Various known methods can be used to graft copolymerize a polar group-containing monomer onto an olefin polymer to produce a modified product, such as a method of graft copolymerization by heating an olefin polymer and a polar group-containing monomer in the presence or absence of a solvent, with or without the addition of a radical initiator.

[0034] As another method for producing an olefin polymer containing a polar group, an olefin polymer containing a polar group can also be produced by copolymerizing the above-mentioned monomer having a polar group with the above-mentioned olefin.

[0038] Another method for producing an olefin polymer containing a polar group is to react the melt of the olefin polymer by treating it with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas mixture (which may optionally further contain ozone). The resulting reaction product (oxidatively modified olefin polymer) contains many oxygen-containing functional groups, such as carboxylic acid, ester, carbonyl, and hydroxyl groups. The reaction method is not particularly limited, and known methods such as those described in JP-A-11-80252 can be used.
