Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a polycarbonate-based resin composition for 3D printers using the Material Extrusion Fabrication (MEX) method. The MEX method includes the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) method and the Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF) method. The present invention relates to a polycarbonate-based resin composition for 3D printers that is suitable for use in three-dimensional printers (hereinafter referred to as "3D printers") that use these methods to output three-dimensionally shaped objects.
[0002] Among the MEX extrusion lamination methods, there are two types of FFF 3D printers on the market, as shown in Table 1: relatively inexpensive general-purpose 3D printers and expensive high-temperature 3D printers.
[0003] [Table 1]
[0004] In the present invention, the main application field is a polycarbonate-based resin composition for molding high-strength 3D objects using a general-purpose 3D printer, but this is not limited to this, and this polycarbonate-based resin composition can also be used with high-temperature 3D printers and even with the fused granular fabrication (FGF) method. [Background technology]
[0005] Conventionally, for example, many types of thermoplastic resins have been used for automotive interior materials, and injection molding has been used as a molding method for them. In injection molding, a molten thermoplastic resin is injected and pressed into a heated mold, thereby producing a molded article having high strength.
[0006] On the other hand, 3D printing using the MEX extrusion lamination method involves heating and melting thermoplastic resin through the nozzle of the 3D printer and laminating it onto a heated molding plate using only the weight of the resin, so no pressure is applied between the laminated resin layers. In other words, there is no pressure between the laminated resin layers.
[0007] Therefore, in 3D printing using the MEX extrusion lamination method, the only pressure applied between the laminated resin layers is the weight of the resin itself, which is very different from the state in which molten thermoplastic resin is firmly fused together by being injected and pressed into the closed space of a mold, as in injection molding, and the strength of objects printed using the MEX extrusion lamination method is significantly inferior to that of injection molding.In particular, a major problem with 3D printing using the MEX extrusion lamination method is that the strength of 3D printed objects in the vertical axis direction is inferior to that in the horizontal axis direction.
[0008] Patent Document 1 discloses a thermoplastic resin filament consisting of two layers, an inner layer and an outer layer, and describes that the main component resin of both the inner layer and the outer layer is a polycarbonate resin with a viscosity average molecular weight of 18,000 to 28,000, and describes that the difference in melt flow rate (ASTM D1238, load of 1.2 kg at the melting point of the resin) between the resin compositions constituting the inner layer and the outer layer is 30 (g / 10 min) or less. It discloses that by making the difference in melt flow rate between the resin compositions of the inner layer and the outer layer 30 (g / 10 min) or less, the two layers can be integrated without peeling, but does not describe anything regarding 3D printed objects.
[0009] Patent Document 2 discloses a polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printers that provides excellent tensile strength and appearance in 3D printed molded products produced by melt deposition modeling. This polycarbonate resin is a polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printers that contains 100 parts by weight of aromatic polycarbonate resin (component A) and 5 to 50 parts by weight of inorganic filler (component B).
[0010] In the examples of the polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printers described in Patent Document 2, it is stated that the 3D printer was used to model at a cylinder temperature of 300°C, but there is no mention of the build plate or chamber temperature. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 describes the tensile fracture stress in the X-axis and Z-axis directions of 3D-printed objects in Examples 1 to 16, but the Z-axis / X-axis ratios for the tensile fracture stress are all only 0.44 to 0.25. Therefore, the technology described in Patent Document 2 does not contribute to the primary objective of the present application, which is to provide a polycarbonate resin composition for molding high-strength 3D-printed objects using a general-purpose 3D printer.
[0011] Patent Document 3 discloses that a composition containing a thermoplastic polyester resin (polycaprolactone resin, polyester-based resin) that is compatible with polycarbonate resin and has a glass transition temperature of 100°C or less and an aromatic polycarbonate resin has good heat resistance and impact resistance, suppresses warping of three-dimensionally shaped objects, and can provide a filament for three-dimensional shaping that has excellent interlayer adhesion.
[0012] Furthermore, although Patent Document 3 states that it is preferable to increase the accuracy and roundness of the filament diameter, the examples do not mention the accuracy of the filament diameter. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 does not mention the pulling speed in the tensile test described in the examples. It is common knowledge for those skilled in the plastics industry that the pulling speed has a significant effect on tensile strength. From this perspective, the technology described in Patent Document 3 does not achieve the primary objective of the present invention, which is to provide a polycarbonate-based resin composition for molding a 3D-modeled object having high strength using a general-purpose 3D printer.
[0013] Patent Document 4 discloses a filament for three-dimensional printing composed of a polycarbonate resin (A) and a polyester resin (B), and describes that the polyester resin (B) is a polybutylene terephthalate resin. Patent Document 4 describes that a resin composition for three-dimensional printing composed of a polycarbonate resin (A) and a polybutylene terephthalate resin (B) can provide a filament for three-dimensional printing that suppresses warping of the molded object and has excellent adhesion to the table of a 3D printer without impairing the inherent properties of polycarbonate resin, such as heat resistance and impact resistance.
[0014] In the examples of Patent Document 4, it is stated that a filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm was produced using a twin-screw kneader, but there is no mention of the diameter precision or roundness of the filament. Therefore, it must be said that the technology described in Patent Document 4 cannot provide a thermoplastic resin composition for molding a 3D-modeled object having high strength using a general-purpose 3D printer, which is the main objective of the present application.
[0015] Patent Document 5 was previously filed by the applicant of the present application and aims to provide a resin composition for additive manufacturing that has sufficient adhesive strength in the height direction. It relates to a resin composition for additive manufacturing that contains a polycarbonate resin, an impact resistance improver that is a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer or a core-shell polymer, and a heat-softening material that has at least one of a crystalline copolymer polyester resin, polycaprolactone, and a polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer.
[0016] As a result of further research and consideration, the inventors of the present application have found that there are technical issues that need to be improved regarding the technology described in Patent Document 5. That is, the technology described in Patent Document 5 contains three components: a polycarbonate resin, an impact resistance improver, and a heat softening agent. However, it has been found that many of the specific materials specified in Patent Document 5 do not provide the physical properties required for a 3D printed object.
[0017] Furthermore, of the three components, polycarbonate resins have a melt volume rate (MVR) range that is too wide, and it was found that, among the materials specified as heat-softening materials, only certain crystalline copolymer polyester resins and polycaprolactone were able to obtain the physical properties required for 3D printing objects.

[0018] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2017-065111 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2019-167498 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 7400809 [Patent Document 4] WO2022 / 138954 A1 [Patent Document 5] Patent No. 7162942 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0019] The present inventors further investigated polycarbonate resin compositions suitable for 3D printers and found that it is important to solve the following problems.
[0020] In other words, the accuracy of the filament diameter is extremely important. Regarding wire diameter precision, the best commercially available filament is the PC filament, with a diameter precision of 1.75mmφ at 1.75±0.05mmφ, but generally it is around 1.75±0.10mmφ.
[0021] For example, if the filament diameter exceeds 1.85 mm, the filament will clog the nozzle of the 3D printer, making it difficult to perform 3D printing. Even if the average diameter is 1.75 ± 0.10 mm, if the filament is elliptical and the major axis (thicker axis) exceeds 1.85 mm, clogging will occur.
[0022] On the other hand, if the wire diameter is thinner than 1.65 mm, for example, the clogging described above does not occur. However, when the nozzle of the 3D printer moves at high speed in the XY direction (horizontal direction) to create a 3D print using the heated and melted filament, the molten filament breaks between the nozzle and the object on the build plate, causing the 3D print to stop. As such, the accuracy of the filament diameter is extremely important when performing 3D printing.
[0023] In view of the above-described conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a polycarbonate-based resin composition that has the physical properties required for a 3D printed object, such as good filament diameter accuracy and roundness, and that has high strength when used primarily with general-purpose FFF-type 3D printers.

[0033] The following describes embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In other words, appropriate changes and modifications may be made to the following embodiments based on the ordinary knowledge of a person skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0034] 1. Polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printers A polycarbonate-based resin composition for 3D printers (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "resin composition") according to one embodiment of the present invention is primarily composed of (A) a polycarbonate-based resin, (B) a resin-modified polymer, and (C) a heat-fusion polymer, and can be used primarily as a filament for FFF-type 3D printers.
[0035] In this polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printers, the polycarbonate resin (A) is a polycarbonate resin (hereinafter referred to as "PC resin"), or a mixture of PC resin and PBT resin, or a mixture of PC resin and ASA resin, and the mixing ratio of the PC resin to the PBT resin or ASA resin is 100 to 55% by weight of the PC resin and 0 to 45% by weight of the PBT resin or ASA resin. The PC resin is an aromatic polycarbonate resin or a siloxane copolymer polycarbonate resin, the resin-modified polymer (B) is a core-shell polymer, and the heat-fusion polymer (C) is polycaprolactone or a crystalline copolymer polyester resin.
[0036] Here, in one embodiment, a PC resin, which constitutes one component of a resin composition that can be used as a filament, is a type of engineering plastic that has excellent characteristics such as heat resistance and impact resistance, and is widely used as an industrial material for various applications. In the present invention, an aromatic polycarbonate resin or a siloxane copolymer polycarbonate resin is preferably used as the PC resin.
[0037] Aromatic polycarbonate resins are obtained by reacting an aromatic dihydric phenol compound with phosgene or a carbonate diester. The method for producing the aromatic polycarbonate resin is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used. Examples include a method in which an aromatic dihydric phenol compound is directly reacted with phosgene or the like (interfacial polymerization method), and a method in which an aromatic dihydric phenol compound is subjected to a transesterification reaction with a carbonate diester such as diphenyl carbonate in a molten state (melt method).
[0038] Regarding the melt volume rate (MVR), which is a value that indicates the fluidity of a thermoplastic resin when melted, for such PC resins, the MVR measured at 300°C and a load of 1.2 kg is 8 to 19 cm. 3 It is preferable that the MVR value of PC resin is in the range of 8cm / 10min. 3By setting the MVR to 19cm / min or more, good fusion between the resin layers of the 3D printed object can be achieved. 3 By setting the speed to 10 min or less, good diameter precision and roundness of the filament can be obtained.
[0039] Examples of commercially available aromatic polycarbonate resins include Panlite L-1225L, L-1225Y, and L-1250Y (manufactured by Teijin Limited), Europin S-2000 and S-3000 (manufactured by Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics Corporation), and Toughlon 1900, 2200, and 2500 (manufactured by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.).
[0040] Siloxane copolymer polycarbonate resin is a high-performance polycarbonate resin obtained by chemically bonding (copolymerizing) polydimethylsiloxane to polycarbonate resin. Commercially available siloxane copolymer polycarbonate resins include Toughlon Neo AG1950, AG2030, VG1950, and RC2031 (manufactured by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.), and Panlite SS1230 (manufactured by Teijin Limited).
[0041] PBT resin is a thermoplastic crystalline resin produced by polycondensation of terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol as basic raw materials. It has a melting point of 224°C, a crystallization temperature of 170-175°C, and a glass transition temperature of 37-53°C. It has excellent chemical resistance and UV resistance, low water absorption, excellent dimensional stability, and good melt-mixability with polycarbonate resin. Commercially available PBT resins include NOVADURAN 5510R1 and 5010TRXA (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) and DURANEX 2002EF2001 (manufactured by Polyplastics Co., Ltd.).
[0042] ASA resin is an acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylic terpolymer, a thermoplastic resin that is particularly excellent in UV resistance and has good melt-mixability with polycarbonate resin. Examples of commercially available products include DIALACS210B, DIALACS310, DIALACS510, and DIALACS411A (manufactured by Techno UMG Co., Ltd.).
[0043] Furthermore, the resin-modified polymer, which constitutes one component of the resin composition, is used to improve the mechanical strength of the resin. While rubber-containing graft polymers are generally used, "core-shell graft polymers" can be preferably used. As the core-shell graft polymer, particularly preferred are "core-shell graft polymers" in which the core component is an acrylic rubber or a silicone-acrylic composite rubber and the shell component is an acrylic polymer. Furthermore, since this "core-shell graft polymer" exhibits a fine particle structure, its average particle size is preferably 100 to 700 μm.
[0044] Core-shell graft polymers are impact resistance improvers obtained by polymerizing vinyl monomers in the presence of rubber, with the rubber component forming the core and the polymerized vinyl monomer forming the shell.
[0045] Examples of rubber components include silicone rubber made from organosiloxane or the like, acrylic rubber made from alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate or the like, and composite rubbers of these. These rubbers may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
[0046] Examples of vinyl monomers that form the shell include methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate. Examples of these core-shell type graft polymers include silicone-acrylic composite rubbers (Metablen S-2100, etc., manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) and acrylic rubber impact resistance improvers (Metablen W-600A, etc., manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation).
[0047] Next, the heat-fusible polymer, which is one component of the resin composition, contains at least one of a crystalline copolymer polyester resin and polycaprolactone.
[0048] The crystalline copolymer polyester resin usable as the heat-sealing polymer is a crystalline copolymer polyester, and preferably a crystalline copolymer polyester having a glass transition temperature of 5°C or less. The crystalline copolymer polyester is a crystalline copolymer polyester composed of a polycarboxylic acid component and a polyglycol component. The polycarboxylic acid component may be terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, hexahydroterephthalic acid, or the like, and the polyglycol component may be ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, or the like, and has properties such as heat resistance and weather resistance.
[0049] The glass transition temperature of these crystalline copolyesters is preferably 5° C. or lower, and more preferably in the range of 5 to −70° C. Examples of commercially available products of such crystalline copolyesters include Byron GM913, Byron GM920, and Byron GM6400 (manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.).
[0050] Polycaprolactone is a type of biodegradable plastic. Polycaprolactone can be produced by ring-opening polymerization of caprolactone in the presence of a catalyst such as an acid, a base, or an organometallic compound. The terminals of the polycaprolactone may be subjected to terminal treatment such as esterification. The melting point of polycaprolactone is 60°C, and the glass transition temperature is approximately -60°C. The number average molecular weight (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "molecular weight") of these polycaprolactones is preferably in the range of 9,000 to 30,000, and more preferably in the range of 10,000 to 25,000.
[0051] Commercially available polycaprolactones that can be suitably used include Plaxel H1P (number average molecular weight 10,000: manufactured by Daicel Corporation), Capa 2803 (number average molecular weight 10,000: manufactured by Ingevity), and Capa 6250 (number average molecular weight 25,000: manufactured by Ingevity).
[0052] The resin composition of this embodiment is composed of the above three components (polycarbonate resin, resin-modified polymer, and heat-bonded polymer), and these three components are mixed in a predetermined ratio (weight ratio), heated, and then molded into a filament using well-known resin molding techniques so that it can be used as a filament for a 3D printer.
[0053] Here, when the total weight of the polycarbonate-based resin, resin-modified polymer, and heat-sealed polymer is 100% by weight, the weight percentage (weight ratio) of the polycarbonate-based resin to the total weight can be set to be in the range of 65% by weight to 92% by weight, more preferably in the range of 75% by weight to 90% by weight, the weight ratio of the resin-modified polymer shown in the total weight can be set to be in the range of 5% by weight to 20% by weight, more preferably in the range of 5% by weight to 15% by weight, and the weight ratio of the heat-sealed polymer to the total weight can be set to be in the range of 3% by weight to 15% by weight, more preferably in the range of 3% by weight to 10% by weight.
[0054] The mixing ratio of PC resin and PBT resin or PC resin and ASA resin is 100 to 55% by weight, preferably 100 to 60% by weight, of PC resin, and 0 to 45% by weight, preferably 0 to 40% by weight of PBT resin or ASA resin.
[0055] Furthermore, compared to PC resin alone, a mixture of PC resin and PBT resin or a mixture of PC resin and ASA resin is preferable. The blend ratio is preferably 95 to 55 wt% PC resin and 5 to 45 wt% PBT resin or ASA resin, and even more preferably 90 to 56 wt% PC resin and 10 to 44 wt% PBT resin or ASA resin. Thus, when a mixture of PC resin and PBT resin or a mixture of PC resin and ASA resin is used, the tensile break strength in the longitudinal (ZX) direction is higher than when PC resin is used alone. Furthermore, the ratio of the tensile break strength in the longitudinal (ZX) direction to the transverse (XY) direction and the ratio of the tensile break strength in the transverse (XY) direction to the tensile break strength of a molded product molded by injection molding are higher, resulting in a 3D-printed object with an excellent balance of tensile break strength in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
[0056] By adjusting the three components (A) polycarbonate resin, (B) resin-modified polymer, and (C) heat-sealing polymer within the above weight ratio ranges, it is possible to obtain a 3D printer filament with excellent formability (diameter accuracy and roundness) and excellent strength in the vertical axis direction (ZX) of the 3D printed object.
[0057] In addition, in the resin composition of the present invention, other components may be added in addition to the above three components, as long as the physical properties and basic functions are not impaired, or for the purpose of adding other functions.
[0058] For example, carbon fiber (CF) or cellulose nanofiber (CNF) can be added to the resin composition to form a composite. In this case, the appropriate amount of addition is about 5 to 30% by weight. An antistatic agent can also be mixed into the resin composition. As the antistatic agent, for example, an ionic liquid is preferred because of its excellent transparency, heat resistance, and antistatic properties.
[0059] 2. Resin composition characteristics The resin composition of this embodiment contains the three components in the weight ratios described above, and has excellent filament formability (diameter accuracy and roundness) and excellent strength in the longitudinal axis direction (ZX) of the 3D printed object (details will be described later).
[0060] Furthermore, preferably, the tensile break strength in the vertical axis (ZX) direction of the 3D printed object obtained from the polycarbonate resin composition of this embodiment is 35 MPa or more, the ratio of the tensile break strength in the vertical axis (ZX) direction to the horizontal axis (XY) direction is 0.6 or more, the ratio of the tensile break strength in the horizontal axis (XY) direction of the 3D printed object to the tensile break strength of the injection molded product is 0.6 or more, and the deflection temperature under load at a load of 0.45 MPa is 100°C or more.
[0061] The tensile breaking strength was measured in accordance with "ISO527", and the deflection temperature under load was measured in accordance with "ISO75 Measurement method for deflection temperature under load". [Example]
[0062] The resin composition of the present invention will be described in more detail below based on the following examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In addition to the following examples, various modifications and improvements can be made to the present invention based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention.

[0075] (Filament forming and measurement of diameter accuracy and roundness) The polycarbonate resin composition (pellets) produced using a twin-screw extruder was placed in a vacuum dryer and dried at 110°C for at least 2 hours. After that, a monofilament was melt-extruded at an extrusion temperature of 250°C using a 30 mmφ single-screw extruder equipped with a vacuum vent and a monofilament die (manufactured by Plagiken Co., Ltd.). After cooling, the monofilament was produced into a 1.75 mmφ monofilament using a take-up and winding machine.
[0076] As shown in Figure 3, the maximum diameter (2a) and minimum diameter (2b) of each filament were measured at five locations at 1 m intervals, and the average diameter, maximum diameter, minimum diameter, and flatness (f) were calculated. The flatness (f) = (ab) / a = 1-(b / a) It can be calculated as follows. Therefore, when the maximum diameter (2a) and the minimum diameter (2b) are the same (a = b), the flattening ratio (f) is f = 0, indicating that the cross section is a perfect circle.
