Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin laminate used for a transparent substrate material or a protective material, and more particularly to a resin laminate having excellent thermoformability at low temperatures, suppressing the occurrence of interference fringes, and having a good appearance. [Background technology]
[0002] Acrylic resins are excellent in surface hardness, transparency, scratch resistance, weather resistance, etc. On the other hand, polycarbonate resins are excellent in impact resistance, etc. For this reason, laminates having an acrylic resin layer and a polycarbonate resin layer are excellent in surface hardness, transparency, scratch resistance, weather resistance, impact resistance, etc., and are used in display windows of automobile parts, home appliances, electronic devices, and portable information terminals.
[0003] In recent years, diversifying design needs have led to demand for products with enhanced design, such as display device front panels, made possible by thermoforming techniques such as vacuum and pressure forming. Laminates containing acrylic and polycarbonate resin layers have been attempted for use as front panels due to their excellent performance, as described above. However, thermoforming laminates containing acrylic and polycarbonate resin layers requires heating the sheet to a temperature at which the polycarbonate resin can fully elongate. This excessive heat applied to the acrylic resin can lead to delamination at the interface between the acrylic and polycarbonate resin layers, resulting in surface whitening and cracking. On the other hand, lowering the molding temperature to prevent whitening and cracking can result in "springback," in which the molded shape is not reproduced.
[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a molding resin sheet made of a polycarbonate resin having a specific terminal group and an acrylic resin, as a molding resin sheet suitable for thermoforming, such as vacuum forming or pressure forming. Such a resin sheet is inhibited from whitening or cracking during bending in thermoforming. However, when a hard coat is applied to the surface of the acrylic resin layer of such a resin sheet, there is a problem in that cracks occur during bending in thermoforming.
[0005] Patent Document 2 discloses a laminate of an alloy layer of a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer and a methacrylic resin and a polycarbonate resin layer, which can be thermoformed at a temperature of 160°C. Such a laminate does not cause any problems when thermoformed at a temperature of 160°C. However, a resin laminate having a hard coat layer on the surface of the alloy layer of a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer and a methacrylic resin of such a laminate has a problem in that cracks occur in the bent portions of the resin laminate when thermoformed at a temperature of 160°C.

[0010] According to the present invention, there is provided a resin laminate that is excellent in thermoforming at low temperatures and that can be used to form thermoformed articles in which the occurrence of interference fringes is suppressed. That is, the resin laminate of the present invention suppresses the occurrence of whitening and cracking during thermoforming, and allows the formation of molded articles with good appearance. The resin laminate can be used as a transparent substrate material or a transparent protective material, specifically as a front panel for protecting portable display devices such as mobile phone terminals, portable electronic toys, personal digital assistants, and mobile PCs, and stationary display devices such as notebook PCs, desktop PC LCD monitors, car navigation LCD monitors, and LCD televisions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples and working examples, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples and working examples, and can be carried out by any method as long as it does not significantly deviate from the content of the present invention.
[0012] <Polycarbonate resin (A)> The polycarbonate-based resin (A) used in the present invention is a polycarbonate-based resin (A) primarily composed of polycarbonate resin. Here, "primarily composed of polycarbonate resin" means that the polycarbonate resin content exceeds 50% by mass. The polycarbonate-based resin (A) preferably contains 75% or more by mass of polycarbonate resin, more preferably 90% or more by mass of polycarbonate resin, and even more preferably consists essentially of polycarbonate resin. The polycarbonate-based resin (A) contains a carbonate bond in the molecular main chain. That is, the polycarbonate-based resin (A) is not particularly limited as long as it contains an -[OR-OCO]- unit (where R represents an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or both an aliphatic group and an aromatic group, and further represents a linear or branched structure). However, it is particularly preferred to use a polycarbonate containing a structural unit of the following formula (2). The use of such a polycarbonate allows for the production of a resin laminate with excellent impact resistance. [ka]
[0013] The polycarbonate resin (A) is preferably synthesized using a monohydric phenol represented by the following general formula (1) as an end-terminator. [ka] (In the formula, R1 represents an alkyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms, R2 to R5 each represent hydrogen, halogen, or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, and the substituent is halogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms.
[0014] The monohydric phenol of general formula (1) is more preferably a monohydric phenol represented by the following general formula (3). [ka] (In the formula, R1 represents an alkyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms.)
[0015] The number of carbon atoms in R1 in general formula (1) or general formula (3) is more preferably within a specific numerical range. Specifically, the upper limit of the number of carbon atoms in R1 is preferably 36, more preferably 22, and particularly preferably 18. The lower limit of the number of carbon atoms in R1 is preferably 8, and more preferably 12.
[0016] Among the monohydric phenols (end terminators) represented by general formula (1) or general formula (3), it is particularly preferable to use either or both of parahydroxybenzoic acid hexadecyl ester and parahydroxybenzoic acid 2-hexyldecyl ester as the end terminator.
[0017] When a monohydric phenol (terminal terminator) having an alkyl group with 16 carbon atoms is used as R1 in general formula (1) or general formula (3), the glass transition temperature, melt fluidity, moldability, drawdown resistance, and solvent solubility of the monohydric phenol during polycarbonate resin production are excellent, and this is particularly preferred as a terminal terminator for use in the polycarbonate resin of the present invention.
[0018] On the other hand, if the number of carbon atoms in R1 in general formula (1) or general formula (3) is too large, the solubility of the monohydric phenol (end-stopper) in organic solvents tends to decrease, which may result in a decrease in productivity during the production of polycarbonate resin. For example, when the carbon number of R1 is 36 or less, the productivity and economy of producing a polycarbonate resin are high. When the carbon number of R1 is 22 or less, the monohydric phenol has particularly excellent solubility in organic solvents, and the productivity and economy of producing a polycarbonate resin can be significantly increased. If the number of carbon atoms in R1 in general formula (1) or general formula (3) is too small, the glass transition temperature of the polycarbonate resin will not be sufficiently low, and thermoformability may decrease.
[0019] Other resins contained in the polycarbonate resin (A) include polyester resins. The polyester resin may contain terephthalic acid as a dicarboxylic acid component as a main component, and may contain a dicarboxylic acid component other than terephthalic acid. For example, a polyester resin obtained by polycondensation of a glycol component containing 80 to 60 (molar ratio) of ethylene glycol as a main component and 20 to 40 (molar ratio, total 100) of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and a dicarboxylic acid component, so-called "PETG," is preferred. The polycarbonate resin (A) may also contain a polyestercarbonate resin having an ester bond and a carbonate bond in the polymer skeleton.
[0020] In the present invention, the weight-average molecular weight of the polycarbonate-based resin (A) affects the impact resistance and molding conditions of the resin laminate. That is, if the weight-average molecular weight is too small, the impact resistance of the resin laminate decreases, which is undesirable. If the weight-average molecular weight is too high, an excessive heat source may be required when laminating the layer containing the polycarbonate-based resin (A), which is undesirable. Furthermore, some molding methods require high temperatures, which expose the polycarbonate-based resin (A) to high temperatures, which may adversely affect its thermal stability. The weight-average molecular weight of the polycarbonate-based resin (A) is preferably 10,000 to 75,000, more preferably 15,000 to 60,000, and even more preferably 20,000 to 50,000.
[0021] <Method for measuring weight-average molecular weight of polycarbonate resin (A)> The weight-average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin (A) can be measured based on the description in paragraphs 0061 to 0064 of JP-A No. 2007-179018. Details of the measurement method are shown below. [Table 1]
[0022] After performing measurements using polystyrene (PS) as a standard polymer, the relationship between elution time and the molecular weight of polycarbonate (PC) is determined using the universal calibration method to create a calibration curve. Then, the elution curve (chromatogram) of PC is measured under the same conditions as for the calibration curve, and each average molecular weight is calculated from the elution time (molecular weight) and the peak area (number of molecules) at that elution time. If the number of molecules at molecular weight Mi is Ni, the weight-average molecular weight can be expressed as follows. The following conversion formula was also used: (Weight average molecular weight) Mw=Σ(NiMi 2 ) / Σ(NiMi) (conversion formula) MPC=0.47822MPS 1.01470 It should be noted that MPC indicates the molecular weight of PC, and MPS indicates the molecular weight of PS.
[0023] The glass transition temperature of the polycarbonate resin (A) used in the present invention is preferably 115 to 140° C., more preferably 115 to 135° C., even more preferably 115 to 130° C., and particularly preferably 115 to less than 130° C. In this specification, the glass transition temperature of the polycarbonate resin (A) is the temperature measured using a differential scanning calorimeter at a heating rate of 10° C. / min and calculated at the intersection of the baseline and the tangent at the inflection point.
[0024] The melt flow rate of the polycarbonate resin (A) is preferably in the range of 1 to 30 g / 10 min, more preferably in the range of 8 to 20 g / 10 min, and even more preferably in the range of 11 to 15 g / 10 min. A melt flow rate in the range of 1 to 30 g / 10 min provides good stability in hot melt molding. In this specification, the melt flow rate of the polycarbonate resin (A) is measured using a melt indexer at a temperature of 300°C under a load of 1.2 kg.
[0025] The method for producing the polycarbonate resin (A) used in the present invention can be appropriately selected depending on the monomer used, such as the known phosgene method (interfacial polymerization method) or transesterification method (melt method).
[0026] <Thermoplastic resin (B)> The thermoplastic resin (B) used in the present invention contains a methacrylic resin (C) and a styrene copolymer (D). Each of these components will be described below.
[0027] <Methacrylic resin (C)> The methacrylic resin (C) contained in the thermoplastic resin (B) according to the present invention may be a resin containing a structural unit derived from a methacrylic acid ester monomer.
[0028] Examples of the methacrylic acid ester monomer of the methacrylic resin (C) include alkyl methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate, pentyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, heptyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, nonyl methacrylate, decyl methacrylate, and dodecyl methacrylate; 1-methylcyclopentyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, and cyclohexyl methacrylate; methacrylic acid cycloalkyl esters such as cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl methacrylate, and tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-yl methacrylate; aryl methacrylates such as phenyl methacrylate; and aralkyl methacrylates such as benzyl methacrylate. From the viewpoint of availability, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, and tert-butyl methacrylate are preferred, and methyl methacrylate is most preferred.
[0029] From the viewpoint of heat resistance, the methacrylic resin (C) preferably contains 80% by mass or more, more preferably 90% by mass or more, and even more preferably 95% by mass or more, of structural units derived from methacrylic acid ester monomers. When the methacrylic resin (C) contains 80% by mass or more of structural units derived from methacrylic acid ester monomers, compatibility with the styrene copolymer (D) is improved, which is preferable. On the other hand, when the structural units derived from methacrylic acid ester monomers are less than 80% by mass, the methacrylic resin may not be compatible with the styrene copolymer (D) and may become cloudy.
[0030] The methacrylic resin (C) may contain structural units derived from other monomers than methacrylic acid esters. Examples of such other monomers include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, nonyl acrylate, decyl acrylate, dodecyl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, 3-methoxybutyl acrylate, trifluoromethyl acrylate, trimethyl acrylate, and methyl acrylate. Examples of suitable acrylic acid esters include trifluoroethyl, pentafluoroethyl acrylate, glycidyl acrylate, allyl acrylate, phenyl acrylate, toluyl acrylate, benzyl acrylate, isobornyl acrylate, and 3-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate. From the viewpoint of availability, preferred are acrylic acid esters such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, and tert-butyl acrylate. Methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate are more preferred, and methyl acrylate is the most preferred. The total content of structural units derived from these other monomers in the methacrylic resin (C) is preferably 20% by mass or less, more preferably 10% by mass or less, and even more preferably 5% by mass or less.
[0031] The lower limit of the syndiotacticity (rr) of the methacrylic resin (C), expressed as a triad, is preferably 50 mol% or more, more preferably 51 mol% or more, and even more preferably 52 mol% or more. When the lower limit of the content of such a structure is 50 mol% or more, the resin has excellent heat resistance.
[0032] Here, the syndiotacticity (rr) expressed as a triad (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as "syndiotacticity (rr)") is the proportion of two chains (diads) in a chain of three consecutive structural units (triad) that are both racemo (denoted as rr). Note that in chains (diads) of structural units in a polymer molecule, those with the same configuration are called meso, and those with the opposite configuration are called racemo, and are denoted as m and r, respectively. The syndiotacticity (rr) (%) of the methacrylic resin (C) in deuterated chloroform at 30°C is 1 The H-NMR spectrum is measured, and from the spectrum, the area (X) of the region from 0.6 to 0.95 ppm and the area (Y) of the region from 0.6 to 1.35 ppm are measured when tetramethylsilane (TMS) is set to 0 ppm, and the chromaticity can be calculated using the formula: (X / Y) × 100.
[0033] The weight-average molecular weight of the methacrylic resin (C) is determined by the ease of mixing (dispersion) with the styrene copolymer (D) and the ease of production of the thermoplastic resin (B). In other words, if the weight-average molecular weight of the methacrylic resin (C) is too large, the difference in melt viscosity between the methacrylic resin (C) and the styrene copolymer (D) will be too great, resulting in poor mixing (dispersion) of the two, which may result in poor transparency of the thermoplastic resin (B) or inability to continue stable melt-kneading. Conversely, if the weight-average molecular weight of the methacrylic resin (C) is too small, the strength of the thermoplastic resin (B) will be reduced, resulting in problems such as reduced impact resistance of the resin laminate. The weight-average molecular weight of the methacrylic resin (C) is preferably in the range of 50,000 to 700,000, more preferably 60,000 to 500,000, and even more preferably 70,000 to 200,000. The weight-average molecular weight is the weight-average molecular weight measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in terms of standard polystyrene.
[0034] The glass transition temperature of the methacrylic resin (C) is preferably 100°C or higher, more preferably 105°C or higher, and even more preferably 108°C or higher. When the glass transition temperature is 100°C or higher, the resin laminate provided by the present invention is less likely to deform or crack in a thermal environment. The glass transition temperature of the methacrylic resin (C) in this specification is the temperature measured using a differential scanning calorimeter at a heating rate of 10°C / min and calculated at the intersection of the baseline and the tangent at the inflection point.
[0035] The melt flow rate of the methacrylic resin (C) is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 g / 10 min. The lower limit of the melt flow rate is more preferably 1.2 g / 10 min or more, and even more preferably 1.5 g / 10 min. The upper limit of the melt flow rate is more preferably 7.0 g / 10 min or less, and even more preferably 4.0 g / 10 min or less. A melt flow rate in the range of 1 to 10 g / 10 min provides good stability in hot melt molding. The melt flow rate of the methacrylic resin (C) in this specification is a value measured using a melt indexer at a temperature of 230°C under a load of 3.8 kg.
[0036] <Styrene copolymer (D)> The styrene copolymer (D) contained in the thermoplastic resin (B) according to the present invention is characterized in that it contains vinyl aromatic monomer units (d1) and cyclic acid anhydride monomer units (d2), and the total proportion of the vinyl aromatic monomer units (d1) and the cyclic acid anhydride monomer units (d2) is 92 to 100 mass% based on the total of all monomer units in the styrene copolymer (D).
[0037] The vinyl aromatic monomer unit (d1) of the styrene copolymer (D) is not particularly limited, and any known aromatic vinyl monomer can be used. From the viewpoint of easy availability, styrene, α-methylstyrene, o-methylstyrene, m-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, t-butylstyrene, etc. are listed. Among these, styrene is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of compatibility. Two or more of these aromatic vinyl monomers may be mixed.
[0038] Examples of the cyclic acid anhydride monomer unit (d2) of the styrene copolymer (D) include acid anhydrides such as maleic acid, itaconic acid, citraconic acid, and aconitic acid, and maleic anhydride is preferred from the viewpoint of compatibility with acrylic resins. Two or more of these unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride monomers may be mixed.
[0039] In the styrene copolymer (D) used in the present invention, the total proportion of the vinyl aromatic monomer units (d1) and the cyclic acid anhydride monomer units (d2) is 92 to 100 mass%, preferably 95 to 100 mass%, and more preferably 98 to 100 mass%, based on the total of all monomer units in the styrene copolymer (D). That is, the styrene copolymer (D) may contain monomer units other than the vinyl aromatic monomer units (d1) and the cyclic acid anhydride monomer units (d2) in an amount of 8% by mass or less based on the total amount of all monomer units. Examples of the monomer units other than the vinyl aromatic monomer units (d1) and the cyclic acid anhydride monomer units (d2) include methacrylic acid ester monomer units and N-substituted maleimide monomers. Examples of the methacrylate ester monomer units in the styrene copolymer (D) include alkyl methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate, pentyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, heptyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, nonyl methacrylate, decyl methacrylate, and dodecyl methacrylate. Examples of methacrylic acid esters include methacrylic acid cycloalkyl esters such as 1-methylcyclopentyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, cycloheptyl methacrylate, cyclooctyl methacrylate, and tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-yl methacrylate; methacrylic acid aryl esters such as phenyl methacrylate; and methacrylic acid aralkyl esters such as benzyl methacrylate. Methyl methacrylate is preferred from the viewpoint of compatibility with methacrylic resins. Two or more of these methacrylic acid ester monomers may be mixed. Examples of the N-substituted maleimide monomer in the styrene copolymer (D) include N-arylmaleimides such as N-phenylmaleimide, N-chlorophenylmaleimide, N-methylphenylmaleimide, N-naphthylmaleimide, N-hydroxyphenylmaleimide, N-methoxyphenylmaleimide, N-carboxyphenylmaleimide, N-nitrophenylmaleimide, and N-tribromophenylmaleimide, and N-phenylmaleimide is preferred from the viewpoint of compatibility with methacrylic resins. Two or more of these N-substituted maleimide monomers may be mixed.
[0040] The proportion of the vinyl aromatic monomer units (d1) is 68 to 84 mass%, preferably 70 to 82 mass%, more preferably 74 to 80 mass%, and even more preferably 76 to 79 mass%, based on the total of all monomer units in the styrene copolymer (D). The proportion of the cyclic acid anhydride monomer units (d2) is 16 to 32 mass%, preferably 18 to 30 mass%, more preferably 20 to 26 mass%, and even more preferably 21 to 24 mass%, based on the total of all monomer units in the styrene copolymer (D). If the proportion of the vinyl aromatic monomer units (d1) to the total of all monomer units in the styrene copolymer (D) is outside the range of 68 to 84 mass%, the compatibility with the methacrylic resin (C) will be poor. Also, if the proportion of the cyclic acid anhydride monomer units (d2) to the total of all monomer units in the styrene copolymer (D) is outside the range of 16 to 32 mass%, the compatibility with the methacrylic resin (C) will be poor.
[0041] From the viewpoint of thermoformability at low temperatures, the weight-average molecular weight of the styrene copolymer (D) is preferably 50,000 to 130,000, more preferably 55,000 to 100,000, and particularly preferably 60,000 to 90,000. The weight-average molecular weight is measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and is calculated as a weight-average molecular weight in terms of standard polystyrene.
[0042] The glass transition temperature of the styrene copolymer (D) is preferably in the range of 120 to 190°C, more preferably in the range of 130 to 170°C. When the glass transition temperature is 120°C or higher, the resin laminate provided by the present invention is less likely to deform or crack in a thermal environment. Furthermore, when the glass transition temperature is 190°C or lower, excellent processability is achieved, such as continuous thermal shaping using a mirrored roll or a shaping roll, or batchwise thermal shaping using a mirrored mold or a shaping mold. The glass transition temperature of the styrene copolymer (D) in this specification is the temperature measured using a differential scanning calorimeter at a heating rate of 10°C / min and calculated at the intersection of the baseline and the tangent at the inflection point.
[0043] The melt flow rate of the styrene copolymer (D) is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 g / 10 min, more preferably in the range of 3 to 8 g / 10 min, and even more preferably in the range of 4 to 7 g / 10 min. When the melt flow rate is in the range of 1 to 10 g / 10 min, the stability of hot melt molding is good. In this specification, the melt flow rate of the styrene copolymer (D) is a value measured using a melt indexer at a temperature of 230°C under a load of 3.8 kg.
[0044] The method for producing the styrene copolymer (D) is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected from known methods such as solution polymerization, bulk polymerization, and suspension polymerization.
[0045] The styrene copolymer (D) is a binary copolymer or a multi-component copolymer containing a vinyl aromatic monomer unit (d1) and a cyclic acid anhydride monomer unit (d2). By using the styrene copolymer (D) in combination with the methacrylic resin (C), a resin laminate having higher hardness than when the styrene copolymer (D) alone is used and having better thermoformability than when the methacrylic resin (C) alone is used can be obtained.
[0046] In the present invention, the mass ratio of the methacrylic resin (C) to the styrene copolymer (D) is preferably 15 to 70 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin (C) and 85 to 30 parts by mass of the styrene copolymer (D), based on 100 parts by mass of the total content of the methacrylic resin (C) and the styrene copolymer (D). More preferably, the mass ratio is 20 to 65 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin (C) and 80 to 35 parts by mass of the styrene copolymer (D), and even more preferably, the mass ratio is 20 to 55 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin (C) and 80 to 45 parts by mass of the styrene copolymer (D). By maintaining this mass ratio, an excellent thermoplastic resin (B) can be obtained that maintains transparency, has excellent heat resistance, a high refractive index, excellent low-temperature thermoformability, and a good appearance.
[0047] The glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin (B) is preferably in the range of 120 to 165°C, more preferably in the range of 120 to 155°C. A glass transition temperature of 120°C or higher means that the resin laminate provided by the present invention is less likely to deform or crack in a thermal environment. Furthermore, a glass transition temperature of 165°C or lower provides excellent processability, such as continuous thermal shaping using a mirrored roll or a shaping roll, or batch thermal shaping using a mirrored mold or a shaping mold. The glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin (B) in this specification is the temperature measured using a differential scanning calorimeter at a heating rate of 10°C / min and calculated at the intersection of the baseline and the tangent at the inflection point.
[0048] The melt flow rate of the thermoplastic resin (B) is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 g / 10 min, more preferably in the range of 1.5 to 7 g / 10 min, and even more preferably in the range of 2 to 5 g / 10 min. A melt flow rate in the range of 1 to 10 g / 10 min provides good stability in hot melt molding. In this specification, the melt flow rate of the thermoplastic resin (B) is a value measured using a melt indexer at a temperature of 230°C under a load of 3.8 kg.
[0049] In the present invention, the method for producing the thermoplastic resin (B) is not particularly limited, and a known method can be applied, in which the necessary components are mixed in advance using a mixer such as a tumbler, a Henschel mixer, or a super mixer, and then melt-kneaded using a machine such as a Banbury mixer, a roll, a Brabender mixer, a single-screw extruder, a twin-screw extruder, or a pressure kneader.
[0050] The thermoplastic resin (B) used in the present invention has a relatively high glass transition temperature, and the difference therebetween is small with respect to the glass transition temperature of the polycarbonate-based resin (A). This has the advantage that even if the glass transition temperature is brought close to that of the polycarbonate-based resin (A) during hot press molding or hot bending, there is little problem of poor appearance occurring in the layer containing the thermoplastic resin (B). The difference between the glass transition temperature of the polycarbonate-based resin (A) and the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin (B) is preferably in the range of 0 to 15°C, more preferably in the range of 0 to 10°C.
[0051] <Hard coat layer> Although an additional layer may be present between the hard coat layer of the present invention and the layer containing thermoplastic resin (B), the hard coat layer is preferably laminated on the surface or both surfaces of the layer containing thermoplastic resin (B). The hard coat layer is preferably an acrylic hard coat. In this specification, "acrylic hard coat" refers to a coating film formed by polymerizing a monomer, oligomer, or prepolymer containing a (meth)acryloyl group as a polymerizable group to form a crosslinked structure. The acrylic hard coat preferably contains 2 to 98% by mass of a (meth)acrylic monomer, 2 to 98% by mass of a (meth)acrylic oligomer, and 0 to 15% by mass of a surface modifier. Furthermore, the acrylic hard coat preferably contains 0.001 to 7 parts by mass of a photopolymerization initiator per 100 parts by mass of the total of the (meth)acrylic monomer, (meth)acrylic oligomer, and surface modifier.
[0052] The hard coat layer more preferably contains 5 to 50 mass% of a (meth)acrylic monomer, 50 to 95 mass% of a (meth)acrylic oligomer, and 1 to 10 mass% of a surface modifier, and particularly preferably contains 20 to 40 mass% of a (meth)acrylic monomer, 60 to 80 mass% of a (meth)acrylic oligomer, and 2 to 5 mass% of a surface modifier. The amount of the photopolymerization initiator is more preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by mass, particularly preferably 0.1 to 3 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total of the (meth)acrylic monomer, (meth)acrylic oligomer, and surface modifier.

[0063] The hard coat layer may contain a photopolymerization initiator. In this specification, the photopolymerization initiator refers to a photoradical generator.
[0064] Examples of monofunctional photopolymerization initiators that can be used in the present invention include acetophenone-based initiators such as 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)ketone [Darocur 2959: manufactured by Merck]; α-hydroxy-α,α'-dimethylacetophenone [Darocur 1173: manufactured by Merck]; methoxyacetophenone, 2,2'-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone [Irgacure-651], and 1-hydroxy-cyclohexylphenyl ketone; benzoin ether-based initiators such as benzoin ethyl ether and benzoin isopropyl ether; and other halogenated ketones, acylphosphinoxides, and acylphosphonates.
[0065] The method for forming the hard coat layer is not particularly limited, but for example, the hard coat layer can be formed by applying a hard coat liquid onto a layer located below the hard coat layer and then photopolymerizing the liquid.
[0066] The method for applying the hard coat liquid (polymerizable composition) is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used, such as spin coating, dipping, spraying, slide coating, bar coating, roll coating, gravure coating, meniscus coating, flexographic printing, screen printing, beat coating, and spraying.
[0067] The lamp used for light irradiation in photopolymerization has an emission distribution with a light wavelength of 420 nm or less, and examples thereof include low-pressure mercury lamps, medium-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, chemical lamps, black light lamps, microwave-excited mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, etc. Among these, high-pressure mercury lamps or metal halide lamps are preferred because they efficiently emit light in the active wavelength region of the initiator and do not emit much short-wavelength light that would reduce the viscoelastic properties of the resulting polymer due to crosslinking, or much long-wavelength light that would heat and evaporate the reaction composition.
[0068] The irradiation intensity of the lamp is a factor that determines the degree of polymerization of the resulting polymer, and is appropriately controlled depending on the performance of the target product. When a typical cleavage-type initiator having an acetophenone group is blended, the irradiance is 0.1 to 300 mW / cm. 2 In particular, when a metal halide lamp is used, the illuminance is set to 10 to 40 mW / cm. 2 It is preferable to set the following.
[0069] Photopolymerization reactions are inhibited by oxygen in the air or oxygen dissolved in the reactive composition. Therefore, it is desirable to perform light irradiation using a method that can eliminate reaction inhibition by oxygen. One such method is to cover the reactive composition with a film made of polyethylene terephthalate or Teflon to prevent contact with oxygen, and then irradiate the reactive composition with light through the film. Alternatively, the composition may be irradiated with light through a light-transmitting window in an inert atmosphere in which oxygen has been replaced with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide gas.
[0070] When light irradiation is performed in an inert atmosphere, a certain amount of inert gas is always introduced to maintain a low oxygen concentration in the atmosphere. The introduction of this inert gas generates an airflow on the surface of the reactive composition, causing monomer evaporation. To suppress the level of monomer evaporation, the airflow velocity of the inert gas is preferably 1 m / sec or less, more preferably 0.1 m / sec or less, relative to the laminate coated with the hard coat liquid moving under the inert gas atmosphere. By setting the airflow velocity within the above range, monomer evaporation due to the airflow can be substantially suppressed.
[0071] In order to improve the adhesion of the hard coat layer, the coated surface may be pretreated by known methods such as sandblasting, solvent treatment, corona discharge treatment, chromic acid treatment, flame treatment, hot air treatment, ozone treatment, ultraviolet treatment, and primer treatment with a resin composition.
[0072] The hard coat layer is exposed to UV light (254 nm) with an irradiation output of 20 mW / cm 2 When irradiated with ultraviolet light using a metal halide lamp, the pencil hardness is preferably 2H or more.
[0073] The thickness of the hard coat layer is preferably 1 μm or more and 40 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less. A thickness of 1 μm or more can provide sufficient hardness. Furthermore, a thickness of 40 μm or less can suppress the occurrence of cracks during bending. The thickness of the hard coat layer can be measured by observing the cross section with a microscope or the like and measuring from the coating interface to the surface.
[0074] <haze> The resin laminate of the present invention is not particularly limited, but preferably has a haze of 1.0%, more preferably 0.8%, and particularly preferably 0.7%. If the haze exceeds 1.0%, the resin laminate may appear whitish to the naked eye.
[0075] <Resin laminate> In the present invention, the thickness of the layer containing thermoplastic resin (B) affects the surface hardness and impact resistance of the resin laminate. That is, if the thickness of the layer containing thermoplastic resin (B) is too thin, the surface hardness will be low, which is undesirable. If the thickness of the layer containing thermoplastic resin (B) is too thick, the impact resistance will be poor, which is undesirable. The thickness of the layer containing thermoplastic resin (B) is preferably 10 to 250 μm, more preferably 20 to 200 μm, and even more preferably 30 to 150 μm.
[0076] In the present invention, if the total thickness of the layer containing the polycarbonate resin (A), the layer containing the thermoplastic resin (B), and the hard coat layer is too thin or too thick, molding becomes difficult. The total thickness of the resin laminate is preferably 0.4 to 4.0 mm, more preferably 0.5 to 3.5 mm, and even more preferably 0.5 to 3.0 mm.
[0077] In the present invention, the refractive index difference between the polycarbonate-based resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B) is preferably in the range of 0 to 0.07, more preferably in the range of 0 to 0.06, and even more preferably in the range of 0 to 0.05. If the refractive index difference between the polycarbonate-based resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B) is greater than 0.07, the reflected light intensity at the interface between the layer containing the polycarbonate-based resin (A) and the layer containing the thermoplastic resin (B) is high, which may cause problems such as interference fringes.
[0078] The resin laminate of the present invention can be subjected to one or both surfaces thereof to one or more of anti-fingerprint treatment, anti-reflection treatment, anti-fouling treatment, anti-static treatment, weather resistance treatment, and anti-glare treatment. The method for the anti-reflection treatment, anti-fouling treatment, anti-static treatment, weather resistance treatment, and anti-glare treatment is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used. Examples include a method of applying a reflection-reducing coating, a method of vapor-depositing a dielectric thin film, and a method of applying an anti-static coating.
[0079] <Optional additives> In the present invention, the layer containing the polycarbonate-based resin (A) forming the base layer and / or the layer containing the thermoplastic resin (B) forming the surface layer may contain components other than the above-mentioned main components.
[0080] For example, an ultraviolet absorber can be mixed into the layer containing the polycarbonate resin (A), the layer containing the thermoplastic resin (B), and / or the hard coat layer. In the present invention, the hard coat layer may contain an ultraviolet absorber. If the content of the ultraviolet absorber is too high, depending on the molding method, the excess ultraviolet absorber may scatter due to high temperatures, contaminating the molding environment and causing problems. For this reason, the content of the ultraviolet absorber is preferably 0 to 5% by mass, more preferably 0 to 3% by mass, and even more preferably 0 to 1% by mass. Examples of the ultraviolet absorber include benzophenone-based ultraviolet absorbers such as 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-n-octoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-dodecyloxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-octadecyloxybenzophenone, 2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2,2'-dihydroxy-4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone, and 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone; 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)benzotriazole, 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-t-butylphenyl)benzotriazole, 2-(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methylphenyl)benzotriazole, and (2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1-methyl-1-phenyl)benzotriazole; benzotriazole-based UV absorbers such as phenyl salicylate and 2,4-di-t-butylphenyl-3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate; hindered amine-based UV absorbers such as bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl) sebacate; 2,4-diphenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-diphenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-4-ethoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-diphenyl-(2-hydroxy-4-propoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-diphenyl-(2-hydroxy-4-butoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-diphenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-4-butoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,Triazine-based ultraviolet absorbers such as 4-diphenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-4-hexyloxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-diphenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-4-octyloxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-diphenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-4-dodecyloxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, and 2,4-diphenyl-6-(2-hydroxy-4-benzyloxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine; 2-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2 H-benzotriazol-5-yl]ethyl methacrylate, 2-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl]ethyl acrylate, 3-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl]propyl methacrylate, 3-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl]propyl acrylate, 4-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl]ethyl acrylate 4-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl]butyl acrylate, 2-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yloxy]ethyl methacrylate, 2-[2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yloxy]ethyl acrylate, 2-[3-{2- (6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl}propanoyloxy]ethyl methacrylate, 2-[3-{2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl}propanoyloxy]ethyl acrylate, 4-[3-{2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl}propanoyloxy]butyl methacrylate, 4-[3-{2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl}propanoyloxy]butyl acrylate, 2-[3-{2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl}propanoyloxy]ethyl methacrylate, 2-[3-{2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl}propanoyloxy]ethyl acrylate, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl 2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazol-5-yl Examples of suitable benzotriazole-based UV absorbers include sesamol-type benzotriazole-based UV absorbers such as 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl 2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazole-5-carboxylate, 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl 2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazole-5-carboxylate, 4-(methacryloyloxy)butyl 2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazole-5-carboxylate, and 4-(acryloyloxy)butyl 2-(6-hydroxybenzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2H-benzotriazole-5-carboxylate. The mixing method is not particularly limited, and methods such as compounding the entire amount, dry-blending a masterbatch, and dry-blending the entire amount can be used.
[0081] In the present invention, various additives other than the above-mentioned UV absorber can be mixed into the layer containing the polycarbonate resin (A) that forms the base layer and / or the layer containing the thermoplastic resin (B) that forms the surface layer. Examples of such additives include antioxidants, anti-coloring agents, anti-static agents, release agents, lubricants, dyes, pigments, plasticizers, flame retardants, resin modifiers, compatibilizers, and reinforcing materials such as organic fillers and inorganic fillers. The mixing method is not particularly limited, and methods such as compounding the entire amount, dry blending a masterbatch, and dry blending the entire amount can be used.
[0082] In the present invention, the materials for the layer containing the polycarbonate-based resin (A), the layer containing the thermoplastic resin (B), and the hard coat layer, such as the polycarbonate-based resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B), are preferably filtered and purified by filtering. Purification or lamination through a filter makes it possible to obtain a resin laminate with fewer impurities, defects, and other appearance defects. There are no particular limitations on the filtration method, and melt filtration, solution filtration, or a combination thereof can be used.
[0083] There are no particular limitations on the filter used, and known filters can be used, and they are appropriately selected depending on the temperature, viscosity, and filtration accuracy of each material.The filter material is not particularly limited, but any of polypropylene, cotton, polyester, viscose rayon, glass fiber nonwoven fabric or roving yarn wound, phenolic resin-impregnated cellulose, sintered metal fiber nonwoven fabric, sintered metal powder, breaker plate, or a combination thereof can be used.In particular, considering heat resistance, durability, and pressure resistance, sintered metal fiber nonwoven fabric is preferable.
[0084] The filtration accuracy of the polycarbonate resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B) is 50 μm or less, preferably 30 μm or less, and more preferably 10 μm or less. The filtration accuracy of the hard coating agent is 20 μm or less, preferably 10 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or less, since it is applied to the outermost layer of the resin laminate.
[0085] For filtering the polycarbonate resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B), it is preferable to use a polymer filter used in, for example, melt filtering of thermoplastic resins. Polymer filters are classified into leaf disc filters, candle filters, pack disc filters, cylindrical filters, etc. depending on their structure, but leaf disc filters, which have a large effective filtration area, are particularly suitable.
[0086] <Heat bending process> The heat-bending process for the resin laminate of the present invention is not particularly limited. Examples include "heat press molding," in which a convex (male) and concave (female) molds are attached to a press and a heat-softened laminate sheet is sandwiched between the two molds; "vacuum molding," in which the heat-softened laminate sheet and the convex (male) mold are placed in a vacuum state to adhere the laminate sheet to the mold and finish it into the desired shape; and "pressure molding," in which the heat-softened laminate sheet and the convex (male) mold are pressed under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure to adhere the laminate sheet to the mold and finish it into the desired shape. The resin laminate of the present invention can be obtained as a heat-formed product that does not undergo springback even when heat-bending is performed at low temperatures (e.g., 100 to 135°C).
[0087] <Thermoformed body> When heat-press molding a laminated sheet using conventional polycarbonate resins (e.g., Iupilon S-2000, Iupilon S-1000, and Iupilon E-2000, commercially available from Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics Corporation), the sheet must be heated at 135–145°C until the polycarbonate resin is sufficiently elongated. This results in excessive heat being applied to the thermoplastic resin, which can lead to peeling at the interface between the thermoplastic resin layer and the polycarbonate resin layer, resulting in surface whitening and cracking. Furthermore, heating the sheet to 160°C can cause the surface to melt or mold scratches to be transferred. On the other hand, when heat-press molding is performed at low temperatures (100–135°C) to prevent thermoforming defects, "springback" can occur, in which the sheet attempts to return to its original shape without reproducing the molded shape.
[0088] In contrast, the resin laminate of the embodiment of the present invention uses a specific polycarbonate-based resin (A), so even when hot press molded at a low temperature of 100°C to 135°C, springback does not occur, and a thermoformed product with excellent design at low temperatures can be obtained.
[0089] Furthermore, when a resin laminate having a layer containing a thermoplastic resin on a layer containing a polycarbonate resin and a hard coat layer on the surface of the layer containing a thermoplastic resin is subjected to heat press molding at a low temperature of 100°C to 135°C, cracks may occur in the bent portions of the resin laminate.
[0090] In contrast, since the resin laminate of an embodiment of the present invention uses a specific thermoplastic resin (B), even when a resin laminate having a hard coat layer on the surface of a layer containing thermoplastic resin (B) is heat-press molded at a low temperature of 100°C to 135°C, no cracks occur in the bent portions of the resin laminate, and a thermoformed product with excellent design at low temperatures can be obtained.
[0091] <Application> The molded article (e.g., thermoformed article) of the embodiment is a molded article containing the resin laminate of the present invention including the various preferred forms and configurations described above. There are no limitations on the shape, pattern, color, dimensions, etc. of the molded article, and they may be set arbitrarily depending on the application.
