[0027] Also, the ratio ([η]II / [η]I) of the intrinsic viscosity ([η]II) of polymer (II) to the intrinsic viscosity ([η]I) of polymer (I) is preferably from 1 to 20, more preferably from 1 to 10, and even more preferably from 1 to 9.

[0028] As a method for measuring the intrinsic viscosity ([η]I) of polymer (I), for example, a method of measuring the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer after forming polymer (I) can be mentioned.

[0029] The intrinsic viscosity ([η]II) of the polymer (II) can be calculated, for example, by the following formula (6) using the intrinsic viscosity ([η]Total) of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material, the intrinsic viscosity ([η]I) of the polymer (I), and the contents of the polymer (II) and the polymer (I).

[0030] [η]II = ([η]Total - [η]I × XI) / XII ···(6) [η]Total: Intrinsic viscosity of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material (dL / g) [η]I: Intrinsic viscosity of the polymer (I) (dL / g) XI: Ratio of the mass of the polymer (I) to the total mass of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material (mass of the polymer (I) / mass of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material) XII: Ratio of the mass of the polymer (II) to the total mass of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material (mass of the polymer (II) / mass of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material)

[0031] Here, XI and XII can be determined from the mass balance during polymerization.

[0032] Note that XII may be calculated using the following formula by measuring the heat of fusion of the polymer (I) and the heat of fusion of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material. XII = 1 - (ΔHf)T / (ΔHf)P (ΔHf)T: Heat of fusion of the heterophasic propylene polymerization material (J / g) (ΔHf)P: Heat of fusion of the polymer (I) (J / g)

When the component of interest is a copolymer, it refers to the value measured for the chain of monomer units derived from propylene.

[0038] In the present specification, the isotactic pentad fraction refers to 13 the value measured by 13C-NMR spectrum. Specifically, 13 the ratio of the area of the mmmm peak to the total absorption peak area in the methyl carbon region obtained by 13C-NMR spectrum is defined as the isotactic pentad fraction. Note that 13 the method for measuring the isotactic pentad fraction by 13C-NMR spectrum is described, for example, in Macromolecules, 6, 925 (1973) by A. Zambelli et al. However, 13The assignment of the absorption peaks obtained by the C-spectrum shall be based on the description in Macromolecules, 8, 687 (1975).

[0048] Component B can be produced by polymerizing ethylene and an α-olefin having 4 or more carbon atoms using a polymerization catalyst.

[0049] Examples of the polymerization catalyst include homogeneous catalysts typified by metallocene catalysts and Ziegler-Natta type catalysts.

[0050] Examples of the homogeneous catalyst include a catalyst composed of a compound of a Group 4 transition metal of the periodic table having a cyclopentadienyl ring and an alkylaluminoxane; a catalyst composed of a compound of a Group 4 transition metal of the periodic table having a cyclopentadienyl ring, a compound that reacts with the transition metal compound to form an ionic complex, and an organoaluminum compound; and a catalyst obtained by supporting and modifying inorganic particles (such as silica and clay minerals) with catalyst components (such as a compound of a Group 4 transition metal of the periodic table having a cyclopentadienyl ring, a compound that forms an ionic complex, and an organoaluminum compound).

[0053] The content of the ethylene-α-olefin copolymer (B-1) in the polypropylene resin composition is 15% by weight or more and 40% by weight or less, preferably 15% by weight or more and 35% by weight or less, and more preferably 15% by weight or more and 30% by weight or less, based on the total amount of (A), (B-1), (B-2), (C) and (D) being 100% by weight.

[0054] Glass fiber (C) The polypropylene resin composition contains glass fiber (C). The glass fiber is not particularly limited and can be used. Examples of the type of glass used for the fiber include E glass, C glass, A glass, S glass, etc., and among them, E glass is preferred. The manufacturing method of the glass fiber is not particularly limited and is manufactured by various known manufacturing methods. The polypropylene resin composition may contain only one type of glass fiber or two or more types of glass fibers.

[0055] The length of the glass fiber is preferably 2 to 20 mm, more preferably 3 to 10 mm. From the viewpoint of the rigidity of the obtained molded body, the length of the glass fiber is preferably 2 mm or more. From the viewpoints of embossing transferability, touch feeling and moldability (fluidity), the length of the glass fiber is preferably 20 mm or less. In this specification, when the fiber length is a normal roving-like or strand-like fiber, the length of the glass fiber before melt-kneading is used as the raw material as it is. However, in the case of glass fiber-containing pellets obtained by melt extrusion processing described later and integrating a large number of continuous glass fibers, since the length of one side (extrusion direction) of the pellet is substantially the same as the length of the fiber in the pellet, the length of one side (extrusion direction) of the pellet is taken as the fiber length. Here, "substantially" specifically means that, based on the total number of fibers in the fiber-containing pellet, in 50% or more, preferably 90% or more, the length is the same as the length (extrusion direction) of the carbon fiber-containing pellet, and there is almost no fiber breakage during the preparation of the pellet. In this specification, the fiber length is measured by a microscope, and the average value of the lengths of 100 or more fibers is calculated to obtain it. The specific measurement is as follows: Glass fibers are mixed with water containing a surfactant, and the mixed aqueous solution is dropped and diffused on a thin glass plate. Then, using a digital microscope (for example, VHX-900 type manufactured by Keyence Corporation), the lengths of 100 or more glass fibers are measured and the average value is calculated.

[0056] Also, the fiber diameter of the glass fiber is preferably 3 to 25 μm, more preferably 6 to 20 μm. From the perspective of preventing breakage of the glass fiber during the production and molding of the resin composition and its molded article, the fiber diameter is preferably 3 μm or more. From the perspective of the rigidity of the obtained molded article, the fiber diameter is preferably 25 μm or less. The fiber diameter is obtained by cutting the fiber perpendicularly to the fiber length direction, observing the cross-section under a microscope to measure the diameter, and calculating the average value of the diameters of 100 or more fibers.

[0057] Both surface-treated and untreated glass fibers can be used. However, in order to improve the dispersibility in polypropylene-based resins, etc., it is preferable to use those surface-treated with an organic silane coupling agent, titanate coupling agent, aluminate coupling agent, zirconate coupling agent, silicone compound, higher fatty acid, fatty acid metal salt, fatty acid ester, etc.

[0058] Further, glass fibers that have been surface-treated with a sizing agent may be used. Examples of sizing agents include epoxy sizing agents, aromatic urethane sizing agents, aliphatic urethane sizing agents, acrylic sizing agents, and maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin sizing agents. Since these sizing agents need to melt during melt-kneading with the polypropylene-based resin, it is preferable that they melt at 200°C or lower.

[0059] Both surface-treated and untreated glass fibers can be used. However, in order to improve the dispersibility in the polypropylene-based resin, it is preferable to use those surface-treated with an organic silane coupling agent, titanate coupling agent, aluminate coupling agent, zirconate coupling agent, silicone compound, higher fatty acid, fatty acid metal salt, fatty acid ester, or the like.

[0060] Examples of the organic silane coupling agent used for surface treatment include vinyltrimethoxysilane, γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and the like. Examples of the titanate coupling agent include isopropyltriisostearoyl titanate, isopropyltris(dioctylpyrophosphate) titanate, isopropyltri(N-aminoethyl) titanate, and the like. Examples of the aluminate coupling agent include acetoxyaluminum diisopropylate, and the like. Examples of the zirconate coupling agent include tetra(2,2-diallyloxymethyl)butyl, bis(tridecyl)phosphitozirconate; neopentyl(diallyl)oxy, trineodecanoylzirconate. Examples of the silicone compound include silicone oil, silicone resin, and the like.

[0061] Furthermore, examples of the higher fatty acids used for the surface treatment include oleic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, montanic acid, abietic acid, linoleic acid, rosin acid, linolenic acid, undecanoic acid, undecenoic acid, and the like. Examples of the metal salts of higher fatty acids include sodium salts, lithium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, zinc salts, aluminum salts, etc. of fatty acids having 9 or more carbon atoms, such as stearic acid and montanic acid.

Examples of the fatty acid esters include polyhydric alcohol fatty acid esters such as glycerin fatty acid ester, alpha-sulfonated fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyethylene fatty acid ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, and the like. The amount of the surface treatment agent used is not particularly limited, but preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 3 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the glass fiber.

[0062] The glass fiber can also be used as a so-called chopped strand glass fiber obtained by cutting the fiber roving into a desired length. Among these, from the viewpoints of low shrinkage, rigidity, impact strength, etc. of the resin composition and its molded article, it is preferable to use chopped strand glass fiber obtained by aligning and cutting strands in which glass fibers are converged to 2 mm to 20 mm.

[0063] Specific examples of the glass fiber include those manufactured by Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (T480H).

[0064] In addition, these glass fibers can be melt-extruded and integrally combined with an arbitrary amount of, for example, the above components (A), (B-1) and / or (B-2) in advance to form a "glass fiber-containing pellet", which is preferable from the viewpoint of further enhancing various improvement effects such as the embossing transferability and rigidity of the resin composition and its molded article. In the case of such glass fiber-containing pellets, as described above, the fiber length is the length (extrusion direction) of the glass fiber-containing pellets, and is preferably 2 to 20 mm. The method for producing such glass fiber-containing pellets is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used.

[0065] Also, in the glass fiber-containing pellets, the content of the glass fiber is preferably 20% by weight to 70% by weight based on 100% by weight of the whole pellets. When glass fiber-containing pellets having a glass fiber content of less than 20% by weight are used in the present invention, physical properties such as the rigidity of the resin composition and its molded article may deteriorate. On the other hand, when those having a content exceeding 70% by weight are used, there is a risk of deteriorating the embossing transferability, touch feeling, moldability (fluidity), etc.

[0066] The content of the glass fiber (C) in the polypropylene-based resin composition is 20% by weight or more and 40% by weight or less, preferably 20% by weight or more and 38% by weight or less, more preferably 20% by weight or more and 36% by weight or less, based on 100% by weight of the total amount of (A), (B-1), (B-2), (C) and (D).

[0067] Acid-modified polyolefin (D) The polypropylene-based resin composition contains an acid-modified polyolefin (D). In the following, the acid-modified polyolefin (D) may sometimes be referred to as a "modified polyolefin resin". As the modified polyolefin resin (acid-modified polyolefin (D)), for example, it is a resin obtained by modifying a polyolefin resin with an unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative. The polyolefin resin used as the raw material for this modified polyolefin resin is a resin composed of a homopolymer of one type of olefin or a copolymer of two or more types of olefins. In other words, the modified polyolefin resin is a resin produced by reacting an unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative with a homopolymer of one type of olefin or a copolymer of two or more types of olefins, and has a partial structure derived from an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative in the molecule. Specifically, the following modified polyolefin resins (a) to (c) can be mentioned.

[0070] From the viewpoints of the rigidity and hardness of the molded article obtained from the resin composition, the content of the constituent units derived from the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative contained in the modified polyolefin resin is preferably 0.1% by weight to 20% by weight, more preferably 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight (however, the amount of the modified polyolefin resin is taken as 100% by weight). Note that as the content of the constituent units derived from the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative, a value calculated by quantifying the absorption based on the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative by infrared absorption spectrum or NMR spectrum is used.

[0071] The grafting efficiency of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative in the modified polyolefin resin is preferably 0.51 or more from the viewpoints of the rigidity and impact strength of the molded article obtained from the resin composition. The "grafting efficiency of the modified polyolefin resin" means "the ratio of the amount of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative chemically bonded to the resin to the total amount of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative contained in the modified polyolefin resin and not chemically bonded to the resin". The grafting efficiency in the graft polymerization of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative can be determined by the following procedures (1) to (9). (1) Dissolve 1.0 g of the modified polyolefin resin in 100 ml of xylene; (2) Dropwise add the xylene solution to 1000 ml of methanol with stirring to reprecipitate the modified polyolefin resin; (3) Recover the reprecipitated modified polyolefin resin; (4) Vacuum dry the recovered modified polyolefin resin at 80 °C for 8 hours to obtain a purified modified polyolefin resin; (5) Hot press the purified modified polyolefin resin to produce a film with a thickness of 100 μm; (6) Measure the infrared absorption spectrum of the film; (7) Quantify the absorption based on the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative from the infrared absorption spectrum, and calculate the content (X1) of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative that has reacted with the polyolefin resin in the modified polyolefin resin. (8) Separately, for the unpurified modified polyolefin resin, perform the above steps (5) to (6), and calculate the content (X2) of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative in the unpurified modified polyolefin resin from its infrared absorption spectrum (X2 is the sum of the content (X1) of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative reacted with the polyolefin resin and the content of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative that has not reacted with the polyolefin resin (i.e., free)); (9) Calculate the grafting efficiency from the formula: grafting efficiency = X1 / X2.

Approximately 10 mg of the prepared sample was set in the DSC, and once the temperature was raised to 220°C and left in the state of 220°C for 5 minutes, the sample was completely dissolved. Then, it was rapidly cooled to 125°C under the condition of a rate of 300°C / min and the temperature was maintained until the heat quantity curve ended. The crystallization time was determined as the required time (seconds) until the maximum value (peak top) of the obtained heat quantity curve was reached. Note that the shorter the required time, the shorter the time to reach crystallization. It was considered that the shorter this crystallization time, the shorter the cooling time during molding processing and the better the molding processability.

The end of the test piece was held so as not to be grounded, and the height difference between the lowest value and the highest value at the end of the test piece was measured. It was considered that the smaller this height difference, the smaller the warpage and the better the quality.

Specifically, pellets of the polypropylene-based resin composition were compression-molded into a film (100 μm) using a compression molding machine to prepare a measurement sample. Approximately 10 mg of the prepared sample was set in the DSC, and once the temperature was raised to 230°C and left in the state of 230°C for 5 minutes, the sample was completely dissolved. Then, it was cooled to 40°C under the condition of a rate of 5°C / min and left in the state of 40°C for 5 minutes. Then, it was heated to 230°C under the condition of a rate of 5°C / min, and the temperature at which the lowest value of the heat quantity curve during heating was taken was determined as the melting point.
