[Effects of the Invention]
[0006] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a molded article which is a resin composition containing a polycarbonate resin and which has excellent oil repellency and transparency. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described in detail. Note that the present embodiment is an example for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to only this embodiment. In this specification, the symbol "to" is used to mean that the numerical values before and after it are included as the lower limit and upper limit. In this specification, various physical properties and characteristic values are those at 23°C unless otherwise specified. If the standards shown in this specification differ depending on the year and the measurement method, etc., they will be based on the standards as of January 1, 2021, unless otherwise stated.
[0008] The resin composition of the present embodiment is a resin composition comprising a polycarbonate resin containing structural units represented by formula (1) at more than 90 mol % of all structural units, and a fluoropolymer, wherein the fluoropolymer contains structural units derived from compound F containing fluorine atoms and CH═CH-C(═O)- or CH═C(CH)-C(═O)-, the fluoropolymer accounts for 0.1 to 5.0 mass % of the total mass of the polycarbonate resin and the fluoropolymer, and a 2 mm thick test piece formed from the resin composition has a total light transmittance of 70% or more as measured in accordance with JIS K-7105. Formula (1) [ka] (In formula (1), X 1 represents one of the following formulas: [ka] R 3 and R 4each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and Z represents a group that bonds with C to form an alicyclic hydrocarbon having 6 to 12 carbon atoms which may have a substituent.
[0009] When a fluorine-based additive is blended with a polycarbonate resin, oil repellency is relatively improved, but transparency may be impaired. In this embodiment, both oil repellency and transparency are achieved by using a predetermined amount of a specific fluorine-containing polymer. That is, the fluorine atoms in the fluorine-containing polymer improve oil repellency. In this embodiment, in particular, by using a fluorine-containing polymer containing fluorine atoms and structural units derived from compound F containing CH═CH-C(═O)- or CH═C(CH)-C(═O)-, the fluorine atoms are dispersed without agglomeration in the fluorine-containing polymer, which is presumed to effectively improve oil repellency. Furthermore, because the structural units are derived from compound F containing CH═CH-C(═O)- or CH═C(CH)-C(═O)-, the polymer has high heat resistance and is resistant to decomposition even when melt-kneaded with a polycarbonate resin. Therefore, it is presumed that the transparency of the resulting molded article is improved. Furthermore, it is presumed that adjusting the blend amount of the fluorine-containing polymer prevents transparency from being impaired.

The polycarbonate resin used in this embodiment preferably contains 95 mol% or more of all structural units of structural units represented by formula (1), and more preferably 99 mol% or more of all structural units excluding terminal groups are structural units represented by formula (1). Formula (1) [ka] (In formula (1), X 1 represents one of the following formulas: [ka] R 3 and R 4each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and Z represents a group that bonds with C to form an alicyclic hydrocarbon having 6 to 12 carbon atoms which may have a substituent.
[0011] Examples of the alicyclic hydrocarbon formed by bonding Z to C include cycloalkylidene groups such as a cyclohexylidene group, a cycloheptylidene group, a cyclododecylidene group, an adamantylidene group, and a cyclododecylidene group.

Substituted groups include those having a methyl or ethyl substituent. Among these, a cyclohexylidene group, a methyl-substituted cyclohexylidene group (preferably a 3,3,5-trimethyl-substituted cyclohexylidene group), and a cyclododecylidene group are preferred.

[0017] In addition, as an embodiment of other structural units, the structural unit represented by formula (2) described in paragraph 0008 of WO 2017 / 099226, the description in paragraphs 0043 to 0052 of WO 2017 / 099226, and the description in JP 2011-046769 A can be referred to, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0018] The viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) of the polycarbonate resin used in this embodiment has a lower limit of preferably 5,000 or more, more preferably 8,000 or more, even more preferably 10,000 or more, and still more preferably 12,000 or more. The upper limit of Mv is preferably 32,000 or less, more preferably 30,000 or less, even more preferably 29,000 or less, even more preferably 27,000 or less, and still more preferably 25,000 or less. When two or more types of polycarbonate resins are contained, the total is the value obtained by multiplying the viscosity average molecular weight of each polycarbonate resin by its mass fraction. By setting the viscosity average molecular weight to the above lower limit or more, moldability is improved and molded articles with high mechanical strength can be obtained, while by setting the viscosity average molecular weight to the above upper limit or less, the flowability of the molded articles is improved and thin-walled molded articles can be efficiently produced. In particular, the viscosity average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin is preferably 20,000 to 30,000, and more preferably 20,000 to 25,000. The viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) is measured according to the method described in the examples below.
[0019] The pencil hardness of the polycarbonate resin used in this embodiment is preferably 2B to HB.
[0020] The method for producing the polycarbonate resin used in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but for example, the description in paragraphs 0027 to 0043 and the Examples of JP-A-2014-065901 can be referred to, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0021] The content of polycarbonate resin in the resin composition of this embodiment is preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 85% by mass or more, even more preferably 90% by mass or more, and even more preferably 94% by mass or more. By making it equal to or greater than the lower limit, the impact strength and heat resistance of a molded article formed from the resin composition tend to be further improved. Also, it is preferably 99% by mass or less. By making it equal to or less than the upper limit, the flowability of the resin composition tends to be improved.
[0022] <Fluorine-containing polymer> The resin composition of this embodiment contains a fluorine-containing polymer. The fluorine-containing polymer contains structural units derived from compound F containing fluorine atoms and CH═CH—C(═O)— or CH═C(CH)—C(═O)—. By containing such a fluorine-containing polymer, oil repellency can be achieved while maintaining the high transparency inherent to polycarbonate resins. The reason for this is thought to be that by forming a polymer in which CH═CH—C(═O)— or CH═C(CH)—C(═O)— is polymerized, the heat resistance of the fluorine-containing polymer is improved and decomposition of the fluorine-containing polymer can be suppressed even during molding of the polycarbonate resin. It is therefore presumed that compatibility with the polycarbonate resin can be maintained and clouding can be effectively suppressed. It is also presumed that the oil repellency can be effectively achieved by the fluorine atoms being uniformly present in the side chains of the fluorine-containing polymer.
[0023] The fluorine-containing polymer used in this embodiment preferably further has a cyclic structure, more preferably contains an aromatic ring. By containing a cyclic structure, compatibility with polycarbonate resins improves, and the transparency of the resulting molded article tends to be further improved. This effect is particularly remarkable when an aromatic polycarbonate resin is used as the polycarbonate resin. The cyclic structure is a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic ring or a fused ring formed by condensing two or more (preferably two or three, more preferably two) 5- or 6-membered monocyclic rings, and a 6-membered monocyclic ring is preferred. Specifically, a cyclohexane ring and a benzene ring are preferred, and a benzene ring is more preferred.
[0024] In this embodiment, the compound F preferably contains a fluorine-containing group, and more preferably contains a polyfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and / or a polyfluoroether group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Such a fluorine-containing group disperses well in the polycarbonate resin, and is less likely to impair the water repellency of the resulting molded article, thereby enabling the oil repellency to be effectively achieved.
[0025] In this embodiment, the compound F is preferably represented by formula (F). Formula (F) X f -L f -Ar-L f -R f (In formula (F), X f is CH2=CH-C(=O)- or CH2=C(CH3)-C(=O)-, and L f are each independently a divalent linking group, Ar is an aromatic ring, and R f is a polyfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a polyfluoroether group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. L f is preferably an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which may be substituted with a hetero atom or a fluorine atom, or a group consisting of a combination thereof. Also, Ar is preferably a benzene ring. The molecular weight of compound F is preferably 200-500.
[0026] The proportion of structural units derived from compound F in the fluorine-containing polymer used in this embodiment is, for example, 50% by mass or more, and may be 90% by mass or more, of all structural units.
[0027] In this embodiment, the content of the fluorine-containing polymer is 0.1 to 5.0% by mass, based on the total mass of the polycarbonate resin and the fluorine-containing polymer. By making the content equal to or greater than the lower limit, oil repellency is improved. Meanwhile, by making the content equal to or less than the upper limit, the transparency of the polycarbonate can be maintained. The lower limit is preferably 0.2% by mass or more, more preferably 0.3% by mass or more, and even more preferably 0.4% by mass or more. Meanwhile, the upper limit is preferably 4.0% by mass or less, more preferably 3.0% by mass or less, even more preferably 2.0% by mass or less, even more preferably 1.5% by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.8% by mass or less. The resin composition of the present embodiment may contain only one type of fluorine-containing polymer, or may contain two or more types. When two or more types are contained, the total amount is preferably in the above range.
[0028] <Other ingredients> The resin composition of the present embodiment may contain other components as needed, as long as the desired physical properties are not significantly impaired. Examples of the other components include thermoplastic resins other than the polycarbonate resins described above (e.g., acrylic resins), various resin additives, and the like. Examples of resin additives include stabilizers (heat stabilizers, antioxidants, etc.), ultraviolet absorbers, antistatic agents, flame retardants, flame retardant assistants, dyes, pigments, antifogging agents, antiblocking agents, flow improvers, plasticizers, dispersants, antibacterial agents, etc. Note that one type of resin additive may be contained, or two or more types may be contained in any combination and ratio. For information on antistatic agents, please refer to the descriptions in paragraphs 0063 to 0067 of JP 2016-216534 A, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. For flame retardants, refer to paragraphs 0068 to 0075 of JP 2016-216534 A, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0032] Among these, pentaerythritol tetrakis[3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate] and octadecyl-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate are preferred.
