Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition and a molded article, and more particularly to a resin composition using a polycarbonate resin that can provide a molded article having excellent transparency, scratch resistance, and surface hardness. [Background technology]

[0002] Polycarbonate resins are excellent in mechanical strength, electrical properties, transparency, etc., and are widely used as engineering plastics in various fields such as the electrical and electronic equipment field, the automotive field, etc. In recent years, in these fields, molded products have become thinner, less expensive, smaller, and lighter, and further performance improvements in molding materials are required, and several proposals have been made.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a polycarbonate resin composition that contains 100 parts by mass of a polycarbonate resin (A) having a specific structure and 0.1 to 12 parts by mass of a graft copolymer (B) having a polyethylene polymer as the main chain and a vinyl polymer segment as the side chain. The document also discloses that the polycarbonate resin composition has excellent resistance to scratches caused by fingernails. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-110180 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] It has been known that polycarbonate resins containing structural units derived from bisphenol C tend to have high pencil hardness. Here, a molded product made of a polycarbonate resin containing structural units derived from bisphenol C may be used as a product without being treated with paint or the like (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "paintless"). However, the present inventors have conducted research and found that such molded products have some problems with fingernail scratch resistance, despite their high pencil hardness. The resin composition described in Patent Document 1 above is a resin composition with excellent fingernail scratch resistance, but the examples in the same document pursue jet blackness and the like. That is, for applications requiring transparency, the development of new materials is required. In addition, in paintless products, fingerprints and the like may be wiped off with a cleaner or the like. Therefore, fingernail scratch resistance after wiping off the solvent is also required. Furthermore, even if the transparency and nail scratch resistance of the resin composition are improved by blending appropriate additives into the polycarbonate resin, the extrudability and transparency may be deteriorated depending on the type of additive. The present invention aims to solve these problems, and to provide a resin composition that has excellent surface hardness and transparency, excellent scratch resistance, and excellent resistance to fingernail scratches both initially and after solvent wiping off, and that has a high rate of transparency retention, particularly after an abrasion test, and excellent extrudability, and a molded article using the resin composition.

Raw materials <Production Example 1: Production of Polycarbonate Resin A1> 26.14 mol (6.75 kg) of bisphenol C (BPC) and 26.79 mol (5.74 kg) of diphenyl carbonate were placed in a stainless steel reactor (internal volume: 10 L) equipped with a stirrer and a distillate condenser. The inside of the reactor was replaced with nitrogen gas, and the temperature was raised to 220°C in a nitrogen gas atmosphere over 30 minutes. Next, the reaction liquid in the reactor was stirred, and cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3) was added as a transesterification catalyst to the molten reaction liquid at a ratio of 1.5 × 10 -6 The reaction solution was stirred and fermented in a nitrogen gas atmosphere at 220° C. for 30 minutes. Next, the pressure in the reactor was reduced to 100 Torr over 40 minutes at the same temperature, and the reaction was continued for another 100 minutes to distill off phenol. Next, the temperature in the reactor was raised to 284°C over 60 minutes, and the pressure was reduced to 3 Torr, and phenol equivalent to almost the entire theoretical amount was distilled out. Next, the pressure in the reactor was kept below 1 Torr at the same temperature, and the reaction was continued for another 60 minutes to complete the polycondensation reaction. At this time, the stirring speed of the stirrer was 38 rpm, the temperature of the reaction liquid immediately before the end of the reaction was 289°C, and the stirring power was 1.00 kW. Next, the reaction liquid in the molten state was fed into a twin-screw extruder, and p-toluenesulfonate in an amount four times by mole relative to the cesium carbonate was fed from the first feed port of the twin-screw extruder and kneaded with the reaction liquid. Thereafter, the reaction liquid was extruded into strands through the die of the twin-screw extruder and cut with a cutter to obtain pellets of polycarbonate resin A1.

After the reaction, the mixture was diluted with toluene (280 mL) and washed with a 1% by mass aqueous solution (140 g) of disodium hydrogen citrate (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Co., Ltd.) 1.5-hydrate, and then washed twice with water (140 g). The obtained oil layer was filtered through Celite to remove residual insoluble matter, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. A solution of chloroform (140 mL) and toluene (140 mL) was added to the residue to effect recrystallization, and the remaining solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain tribehenyl trimellitate (103 g) as a white powder.

[0082] [Table 2]

[0083] [Table 3]

[0084] In the above table, "proportion of formula (1)" refers to the proportion (mol %) of the structural unit represented by formula (1) among all the structural units constituting the polycarbonate resin. As is clear from the above results, the resin composition of the present invention had high surface hardness, excellent extrudability, low haze, and excellent initial and after-solvent wiping resistance (Examples 1 to 7). Furthermore, the difference between the Δ haze before and after the initial reciprocating abrasion test and the Δ haze before and after the reciprocating abrasion test after the solvent wiping and the Δ haze before and after the initial reciprocating abrasion test also tended to be small. In contrast, when the structural unit represented by formula (1) was not included (Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Examples 15 to 17), any of the above performances were poor. Specifically, the initial and after solvent wiping resistance was poor, the haze was high, the extrudability was poor, and the Δhaze before and after the initial reciprocating abrasion test was high. In addition, when only ester compounds other than the triester compounds defined in the claims of the present invention and their substitutes (B3 to B8 and B10 above) were blended (Comparative Examples 1 to 12, 16 and 17), the extrudability tended to be poor, the haze was high, and the scratch resistance at the initial stage and after the solvent was wiped off tended to be poor. Furthermore, even if the triester compound defined in the claims of the present invention was contained, when the blending amount was outside the range of the present invention (Comparative Examples 13 and 14), the initial fingernail scratch resistance and the extrudability after wiping off the solvent were poor.
