Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a laminated film having a polycarbonate resin layer and a thermoplastic resin layer.
Background Art
[0002] Since polycarbonate is a polymer excellent in transparency, heat resistance, and mechanical strength, films using polycarbonate are widely used in fields such as automotive parts, card members, building materials, displays, and electrical and electronic parts.
[0003] While polycarbonate has the above characteristics, due to its high surface friction coefficient, films using polycarbonate have poor slipperiness between smooth films, and are prone to problems such as film stacking, blocking, and damage due to friction between films during manufacturing and storage. Therefore, improvement of the slidability of the film surface has been demanded.
[0004] As means for improving the slidability of films using polycarbonate, for example, as in Patent Document 1, a method of imparting fine irregularities on the surface by blending inorganic particles, as in Patent Document 2, a method of adding a polymer or particles excellent in slidability such as a fluorine-based polymer, and as in Patent Document 3, a method of adding a lubricant such as silicone are disclosed.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0006] As mentioned above, when inorganic particles, fluorine-based polymers, silicones, or other lubricants are blended into polycarbonate to improve the film's sliding properties, there is a risk of impairing the excellent mechanical strength of polycarbonate.

[0032] The present invention relates to a laminated film having a polycarbonate resin layer whose main component polymer is polymer 2 having a specific configuration, wherein by arranging a thermoplastic resin layer whose main component polymer is polymer 1 having a specific configuration on at least one of the outermost surfaces, the sliding properties can be improved without using lubricants such as inorganic particles or fluorine-based polymers. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0033] An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described below.
[0034] <Laminated film of the present invention> A laminated film according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention (referred to as "the laminated film of the present invention") is a laminated film having a polycarbonate resin layer whose main component polymer is polycarbonate, and having a thermoplastic resin layer whose main component polymer is thermoplastic resin on at least one of its outermost surfaces.
[0035] Here, the "main component polymer" refers to the polymer with the highest mass percentage among the polymers contained in the polycarbonate layer or thermoplastic resin layer. For example, it can be assumed that the polymer contains 50% by mass or more, particularly 60% by mass or more, particularly 70% by mass or more, particularly 80% by mass or more, particularly 90% by mass or more, or particularly 90% by mass or more (including 100% by mass) of the total amount of polymers contained in the polycarbonate layer or thermoplastic resin layer (100% by mass). In this invention, "polymer" refers to a so-called polymer, encompassing synthetic polymers and natural polymers, and is a compound formed by the polymerization of multiple monomers, with a molecular weight of 10,000 or more.
[0036] The laminated film of the present invention has a polycarbonate resin layer and a thermoplastic resin layer on at least one of its outermost surfaces; however, the presence of other layers is optional. For example, typically, a laminated configuration of thermoplastic resin layer / polycarbonate resin layer, or thermoplastic resin layer / polycarbonate resin layer / thermoplastic resin layer can be exemplified. In these laminated configurations, the "other layer" may be located outside one of the thermoplastic resin layers, or the "other layer" may be located between the thermoplastic resin layer and the polycarbonate resin layer. These "other layers" may be single layers or multilayer layers of two or more layers.
[0037] <Thermoplastic resin layer> The thermoplastic resin layer is a layer whose main component polymer is polymer 1, which contains the structural units represented by the following formula (1).
[0038] By including the constituent units represented by the following formula (1), the glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymer 1 becomes relatively low, resulting in a relatively soft thermoplastic resin layer that can release stress during sliding. Therefore, it is presumed that the sliding properties of the laminated film of the present invention can be improved by having a thermoplastic resin layer on the outermost surface whose main component polymer is polymer 1 containing the constituent units represented by the following formula (1).

[0085] (2) Viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) The polymer was dissolved in methylene chloride (concentration 6.0 g / L), and the intrinsic viscosity (intrinsic viscosity) [η] (unit dL / g) at 20°C was determined using an Ubbelohde viscosity tube (manufactured by Moritomo Rika Kogyo Co., Ltd.). The viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of the polymer was then calculated from Schnell's viscosity equation (see below). η = 1.23 × 10 -4 Mv 0.83
[0086] (3) Apparent viscosity The apparent viscosity of the polymer at 240°C or 270°C at a shear rate of 100 (1 / s) was measured using a high-efficiency flow tester (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) equipped with a nozzle of φ1 × L10 mm.
[0087] (4) Sliding properties The sliding properties of the obtained laminated film (sample) were measured by the coefficient of friction in accordance with JIS K7125:1999. For each laminated film (sample) with a thickness of 100 μm, the static and dynamic friction coefficients were measured using a plastic film slip tester (manufactured by Intesco) at a test speed of 100 mm / min, with a weight of 200 g, a static friction section of 5 mm, and a dynamic friction section of 60 mm with stainless steel (SUS430). The total mass of the sliding piece was 200 g (contact area of a square with sides of 63 mm), and the contact area was 40 cm². 2 That's what I decided. For both the static and kinetic friction coefficients, a coefficient of friction less than 0.25 at 23°C and 50%RH was evaluated as "(A)", a coefficient between 0.25 and 0.30 was evaluated as "(B)", and a coefficient of friction of 0.30 or greater was evaluated as "(C)".
[0088] (5) Impact resistance The impact resistance of the obtained laminated film (sample) was measured by puncture impact strength in accordance with JIS K7124-2:1999. Each laminated film (sample) with a thickness of 100 μm was measured using a high-speed puncture impact tester HydroShot HITS-P10 (Shimadzu Corporation) at temperatures of 23°C and -20°C, with a punching diameter of 0.5 inches and a test speed of 3 m / sec. A puncture impact strength of 1.0 J or higher was evaluated as "(A)" under the respective temperature conditions of 23°C and -20°C, and a puncture impact strength of less than 1.0 J was evaluated as "(C)".

[0092] [Preparation Example 1] In a first reactor equipped with a stirrer, heat transfer jacket, vacuum pump, and reflux condenser, 1327 g (approximately 0.465 mol) of PTMG3000 (polytetramethylene ether glycol, number average molecular weight 2855 (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation)), 5308 g (approximately 23.3 mol) of BPA (bisphenol A), 5335 g (approximately 24.7 mol) of DPC (diphenyl carbonate), and a 0.50 wt% aqueous solution of cesium carbonate as a catalyst were added, with the amount of cesium carbonate being 1.00 μmol per mol of total dihydroxy compounds. After purging the reactor with nitrogen gas, the temperature was raised to 220°C over 30 minutes under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. At the same temperature, the pressure in the reactor was reduced to 100 Torr over 40 minutes, and the reaction was continued for another 80 minutes, after which the phenol was distilled off.
[0093] Next, the temperature inside the reactor was raised to 260°C over 60 minutes, and the pressure was reduced to 3 Torr, allowing almost the entire theoretical amount of phenol to be distilled off. Then, the pressure inside the reactor was maintained at less than 1 Torr at the same temperature, and the reaction was continued for approximately 240 minutes until the predetermined stirring power was reached, thus completing the polycondensation reaction. At this time, the stirring speed of the stirrer was 30 revolutions per minute, the reaction solution temperature just before the end of the reaction was 260°C, and the stirring power was 0.50 kW. Next, the reactor was repressurized to an absolute pressure of 101.3 kPa using nitrogen, and then increased to a gauge pressure of 0.2 MPa. Polycarbonate was then extracted in strand form from the bottom of the reactor tank, and after obtaining the stranded polycarbonate, it was pelletized using a rotary cutter.
[0094] To the above pellets, butyl p-toluenesulfonate was added in an amount 2.5 times the molar amount relative to cesium carbonate, fed into a twin-screw extruder, and kneaded at 260°C. The reaction mixture was then extruded in strand form through the die of the twin-screw extruder and cut with a cutter to obtain pellets of polymer (A)-1.
[0095] [Preparation Example 2] Polymer (A)-2 was obtained by polymerization and kneading of a deactivator using the method described in Preparation Example 1, except that a raw material mixture was prepared by adding 1325 g (approximately 0.487 mol) of PO3G2700 (polytrimethylene ether glycol, number average molecular weight 2723 (manufactured by ALLESSA)), 5300 g (approximately 23.2 mol) of BPA (bisphenol A), 5281 g (approximately 24.7 mol) of DPC (diphenyl carbonate), and a 0.50 wt% aqueous solution of cesium carbonate as a catalyst, so that the amount of cesium carbonate was 1.0 μmol per mol of total dihydroxy compounds.
[0096] <Examples 1-2, Comparative Example 1> As shown in Table 1, polymers (A)-1 to (A)-3, which serve as raw materials for the surface and back layers respectively, were introduced into a φ32 mm extruder and melted at 240°C. Polymers (A)-1 to (A)-3, which serve as raw materials for the middle layer, were introduced into a φ40 mm extruder and melted at 270°C. The mixture was then distributed in a distribution block and multilayered in a co-extrusion T-die. The molten film was extruded so that the layer thickness ratio (%) of the surface / middle / back layers was 20 / 60 / 20, and the film was cooled on a cooling roll at 100°C to produce a 100 μm thick laminated film (sample).
[0097] [Table 1]
[0098] As shown in Table 1, the laminated films having a surface layer containing a predetermined thermoplastic polymer, as in Examples 1 and 2, exhibited low dynamic and static friction coefficients and good sliding properties. Furthermore, they showed excellent impact resistance derived from polycarbonate. On the other hand, in the case of a single-layer film made of a polycarbonate resin layer, as in Comparative Example 1, although it had excellent impact resistance, it had high dynamic and static friction coefficients and lacked sliding properties.
[0099] From the above examples and comparative examples, as well as the test results conducted by the present inventors to date, it has been found that a laminated film having a polycarbonate resin layer and a thermoplastic resin layer on at least one of its outermost surfaces, in which polymer 1 containing the constituent unit represented by formula (1) is the main component polymer, has excellent impact resistance and can improve sliding properties without the use of lubricants such as inorganic particles or fluorine-based polymers. By including the constituent units represented by formula (1), the glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymer 1 becomes relatively low, resulting in a relatively soft thermoplastic resin layer that can release stress during sliding. Therefore, it is presumed that the sliding properties of the laminated film of the present invention can be improved by having a thermoplastic resin layer on the outermost surface, in which polymer 1 containing the constituent units represented by formula (1) is the main component polymer. [Industrial applicability]
[0100] The laminated film of the present invention exhibits unique sliding properties and excellent impact resistance, making it extremely useful for automotive, card, building, display, and electrical / electronic applications.
