Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a polyamide resin composition.

Background Art

[0002] A polyamide resin can achieve high rigidity and the like by blending glass fibers. However, since glass fibers have the property of orienting in the resin flow direction, anisotropy in strength may occur and cause warping. As a technique for realizing low warpage, a technique of blending glass fibers having a flat cross-section has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Further, as a technique for realizing high vibration resistance characteristics, a glass fiber-reinforced polyamide resin composition in which an aliphatic polyamide and polymetaxylylene adipamide are used in combination with glass fibers having a specific cross-sectional area has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

[0034] Glass fiber (B-2) with a circular cross-section In addition to the glass fiber (B-1) with a non-circular cross-section as the glass fiber, the polyamide resin composition may further contain a glass fiber (B-2) with a circular cross-section. The glass fiber (B-2) with a circular cross-section is a glass fiber having a circular cross-section perpendicular to the length direction of the glass fiber. The average fiber diameter of the glass fiber (B-2) with a circular cross-section is, for example, 4 μm or more and 15 μm or less, and more preferably 6 μm or more and 13 μm or less. When the average fiber diameter is within the above range, the mechanical properties and dimensional stability of the molded body tend to be further improved.

[0036] Examples of the glass constituting the glass fiber with a circular cross-section include those having a composition such as A glass, C glass, and E glass. From the viewpoint of the thermal stability of the polyamide resin, E glass is preferred. Further, the glass fiber with a circular cross-section may be surface-treated with a silane coupling agent, a titanium coupling agent, or other high-molecular or low-molecular surface treatment agents. By being surface-treated, the dispersibility and adhesion in the polyamide resin are improved. Further, from the viewpoint of improving the adhesiveness with the resin, the glass fiber with a circular cross-section is preferably converged with a converging material. The converging material is not particularly limited, and from the viewpoint of compatibility with the polyamide resin, it is preferably a urethane resin and / or an acrylic resin.

[0037] When the polyamide resin composition contains the glass fiber (B-2) with a circular cross-section, the content of the glass fiber (B-2) with a circular cross-section in the total amount of the polyamide resin composition is preferably 5% by mass or more and less than 40% by mass, and more preferably 10% by mass or more and 35% by mass or less from the viewpoints of high rigidity, low warpage, and good surface appearance.

(screw diameter 28 mm, clamping force 100 tons). The molding conditions were a molding temperature of 290 °C, a mold temperature of 80 °C, an injection speed of 97 mm / sec, an injection pressure of 60 MPa, and a cooling time of 15 seconds. Immediately after molding, the gate was cut, and after being left in a moisture-proof container for 48 hours, a weight was placed on the specified corner on the surface plate, and the maximum gap with the surface plate was taken as the warp deformation amount. When the obtained deformation amount was 3 mm or more, it was regarded as having warp deformation, and when it was less than 3 mm, it was regarded as having no warp deformation.
