Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition, a tabular molded article, a multilayer body, and an anti-reflective molded article. [Background technology]

[0002] Acrylic resins are used in many applications as optical materials because they have excellent transparency, moldability, and surface hardness. However, because acrylic resins have poor material toughness, it is known that multilayer films and sheets are produced by co-extrusion with polycarbonate resins, which have excellent transparency and material toughness (Patent Document 1). However, there is a large difference in refractive index between acrylic resin and polycarbonate resin, which can cause a defect known as "rainbow unevenness" when used in optical components. Moreover, a sheet made of an acrylic resin is naturally required to maintain transparency. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

In the present invention, the refractive index difference between the substrate 1 and the flat plate-like molded body 2 is preferably 0.050 or less. By making the refractive index difference in this range, rainbow unevenness can be more effectively suppressed. The lower limit of the refractive index difference is ideally 0, but even if it is, for example, 0.010 or more, or even 0.030 or more, the required performance is sufficiently satisfied. The glass transition temperature of the substrate 1 as measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is preferably 70 to 180° C., more preferably 100 to 160° C., and even more preferably 110 to 140° C.

[0102] Next, the hard coat layer 3 will be described. The hard coat layer 3 is provided mainly for the purpose of improving scratch resistance. The hard coat layer preferably exhibits a hardness of "H" or more in the pencil hardness test specified in JIS K5600-5-4:1999. The type of the hard coat layer 3 is not particularly limited, and it is preferably formed by a hard coat treatment applied to the surface of the flat plate-like molded body 2. Specifically, it is preferable to laminate the hard coat layer 3 by applying a hard coat material that can be cured by heat or active energy rays, and then curing the applied material. An example of a coating material that is cured using active energy rays is a resin composition consisting of one or more monofunctional or polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomers or oligomers, more preferably a resin composition containing a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, etc. It is preferable to add a photopolymerization initiator as a curing catalyst to these resin compositions. For the hard coat layer 3, the descriptions in paragraphs 0045 to 0055 of JP 2013-020130 A, paragraphs 0073 to 0076 of JP 2018-103518 A, and paragraphs 0062 to 0082 of JP 2017-213771 A can be referred to, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Examples of thermosetting resin coatings include polyorganosiloxane-based and crosslinked acrylic-based coatings. Some of these resin compositions are commercially available as hard-coating agents for acrylic resins or polycarbonates, and can be selected appropriately taking into account suitability for the coating line.

[0103] The hard coat layer 3 may be a single layer or a multilayer.

[0104] The thickness of the hard coat layer 3 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 10 μm, more preferably 2 to 8 μm, and further preferably 3 to 7 μm.

[0105] The refractive index of the hard coat layer 3 is, for example, preferably less than 1.550, and more preferably 1.545 or less. The lower limit is preferably 1.450 or more, more preferably 1.470 or more, and particularly preferably 1.490 or more.

The lower limit of the refractive index difference is ideally 0, but even if it is, for example, 0.010 or more, or even 0.030 or more, the required performance is sufficiently satisfied.

[0106] Next, the antireflection layer 4 will be described. The antireflection layer 4 may be a single layer having a low refractive index (only a low refractive index layer) or a multilayer in which low refractive index layers and high refractive index layers are alternately laminated. By laminating such an antireflection layer 4 on a multilayer body, it can be used as an antireflection molded body. The low refractive index layer is preferably disposed on the outermost side of the antireflection layer 4 in order to exert an antireflection function. The low refractive index layer is not particularly limited in type, but as an example, it is preferably formed by curing and polymerizing a resin material containing fluorine-containing urethane acrylate and (meth)acrylate. The low refractive index layer may also contain a member for lowering the refractive index. As the member for lowering the refractive index, silica, metal fluoride fine particles, etc. are preferable, and hollow silica is particularly preferable. The refractive index of the low refractive index layer is usually lower than those of the adjacent substrate, tabular molded product, hard coat layer, and high refractive index layer. The refractive index of the low refractive index layer is preferably 1.31 to 1.40, and more preferably 1.32 to 1.39. The high refractive index layer is not particularly limited in type, but as an example, it is preferably formed by curing and polymerizing a resin material containing a mixture of urethane (meth)acrylate and (meth)acrylate obtained by dehydration condensation reaction of three components, fluorene diol, isocyanate, and (meth)acrylate. The high refractive index layer may also contain a member for increasing the refractive index. As the member for increasing the refractive index, a metal oxide such as titanium oxide or zirconium oxide is preferable, and zirconium oxide is particularly preferable.

[0108] The multilayer body may be subjected to at least one of anti-fingerprint treatment, anti-glare treatment, weather resistance treatment, antistatic treatment, anti-soiling treatment, and anti-blocking treatment on at least one surface. An example of the outermost surface of the multilayer body in this case is a hard coat layer. The anti-blocking treatment refers to a treatment that allows films to be easily peeled off even if they are in close contact with each other, and examples of the anti-blocking treatment include adding an anti-blocking agent and providing unevenness on the surface of the multilayer body. The multilayer body of the present invention can be formed by using a main extruder that extrudes a substrate such as a polycarbonate resin and a sub-extruder that extrudes the resin composition of the present invention, melting the resins under the conditions for each resin used, introducing them into an extrusion die, laminating them inside the die and forming them into a sheet, or forming them into a sheet and then laminating them, thereby forming the multilayer body.

[0109] The multilayer body of the present invention can be suitably used for optical parts, design products, anti-reflection molded articles, and the like. The multilayer body of the present invention is preferably used for display devices, electric and electronic devices, OA devices, portable information terminals, machine parts, home appliances, vehicle parts, various containers, lighting equipment, and other parts. Among these, it is particularly preferably used for housings of various displays, electric and electronic devices, OA devices, portable information terminals, and home appliances, lighting equipment, and vehicle parts (particularly, vehicle interior parts), surface films of smartphones and touch panels, optical materials, and optical disks. In particular, the molded body of the present invention is preferably used as a sensor film for touch panels and an anti-reflection molded body for various displays. The multilayer body of the present invention also has excellent resistance to thermal bending, and is therefore suitable for applications having curved portions. For example, it is preferably used in multilayer bodies having portions with a radius of curvature of 50 mmR or less (preferably a radius of curvature of 40 to 50 mmR). EXAMPLES
