Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition containing a specific polycarbonate resin and a specific antistatic agent. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, methacrylic resins, polycarbonate resins (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PC), etc. are known as transparent resins, and they are used in a wide range of fields such as electrical and electronic components, optical components, automotive components, and mechanical components in the form of molded products, films, sheets, etc.
[0003] Methacrylic acid resins such as polymethyl methacrylate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PMMA) have high transparency and high surface hardness (pencil hardness H to 3H), and are widely used as optical materials such as lenses and optical fibers. However, their glass transition temperature is low at about 100°C, and their heat resistance is poor, limiting their use in fields requiring heat resistance. Another problem is that they have low impact resistance.
[0004] Polycarbonate resins made from bisphenol A are widely used in vehicle applications and building materials because of their excellent heat resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, and transparency. Among these applications, high weather resistance is required, especially for those used outdoors, but the weather resistance of polycarbonate resins is generally not as good as other transparent materials such as acrylic resins, and yellowing and devitrification occur when exposed to the outdoors. In addition, there is a problem that the surface is very soft (pencil hardness 4B to 2B) and easily scratched.
[0005] As a polycarbonate resin that uses biomass resources as a raw material and is amorphous and has high heat resistance, a polycarbonate resin using a raw material obtained from an ether diol residue that can be produced from carbohydrates has been studied. In particular, a polycarbonate resin using isosorbide as a monomer has characteristics such as excellent transparency, heat resistance, weather resistance, and surface hardness, and studies are being conducted to take advantage of these characteristics (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0006] These polycarbonate resins and acrylic resins are prone to become charged, and there is a problem that dust easily adheres to the surface of the molded product due to static electricity. One method for preventing static electricity is known to incorporate hydrophilic polyamide-based polymers such as polyetheresteramide and polyetheramide to impart antistatic properties (Patent Document 3). However, when these hydrophilic polyamide-based polymers are incorporated into polycarbonate resins or acrylic resins, there is a problem that transparency is significantly reduced.
[0007] Therefore, no polycarbonate resin composition having good transparency, surface hardness, impact resistance and antistatic properties has been reported so far. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] JP 2009-74031 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2009-102537 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2002-129026 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

Such a terminal group can be introduced by adding a monohydroxy compound during polymerization.

When the specific viscosity is 0.23 or more, the strength of the molded product is excellent, and when it is 0.60 or less, the moldability during injection molding is good.
[0068] The specific viscosity in the present invention can be determined by using an Ostwald viscometer to measure a solution in which 0.7 g of polycarbonate resin is dissolved in 100 ml of methylene chloride at 20°C. Specific viscosity (η SP )=(t-t0) / t0 [t0 is the number of seconds that methylene chloride falls, and t is the number of seconds that the sample solution falls] The specific viscosity can be measured, for example, as follows. First, polycarbonate resin is dissolved in methylene chloride of 20 to 30 times its weight, and the soluble portion is collected by celite filtration. The solution is then removed and the mixture is thoroughly dried to obtain a solid soluble in methylene chloride. 0.7 g of the solid is dissolved in 100 ml of methylene chloride, and the specific viscosity at 20°C is determined using an Ostwald viscometer.

[0071] The polyether chain functions as a hydrophilic segment, and the presence of the polyether chain provides antistatic properties. The weight average molecular weight of the polyether chain determines the heat resistance and the polyolefin composition. From the viewpoint of reactivity with the copolymer chain, the molecular weight is preferably 1,000 to 15,000. As a method for producing such a block polymer, for example, a method described in JP-A Nos. 2001-278985 and 2003-48990 in which polypropylene or polyethylene is acid-modified and reacted with polyalkylene glycol can be used.
[0072] Since the block polymer (C) used in the present invention exhibits antistatic properties by being dispersed in a polycarbonate resin, it is generally preferred that the surface resistivity of the block polymer (C) itself is as low as possible. The surface resistivity of such a block polymer is generally 1×10 10 ~1×10 4 Ω, whereas the surface resistance of the block polymer (C) used in the present invention is 1×10 9 ~1×10 4 Ω is preferred, and 1×10 8 ~1×10 4 It is more preferable that it is Ω.
[0073] For the purpose of further improving the antistatic property, an antistatic agent other than the above-mentioned block polymer may be used in combination, if necessary.
[0074] As other antistatic agents, surfactants [anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, etc.], salts other than the surfactant salts, and ionic liquids can be used.
[0075] <Polycarbonate resin composition containing polycarbonate resin and block polymer (C)> (Method for producing polycarbonate resin composition) The polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention is preferably prepared by blending the polycarbonate resin and the antistatic agent containing the block polymer (C) in a molten state.

This provides pellets of a resin composition in which both resins are uniformly blended. The configuration of the extruder, the configuration of the screw, and the like are not particularly limited. If the molten resin temperature in the extruder exceeds 320°C, the resin may become discolored or may undergo thermal decomposition. On the other hand, if the resin temperature is below 200°C, the resin viscosity may be too high, causing an overload on the extruder.
