Therefore, the aliphatic copolyamide resin (A-2) may be a combination of an aliphatic diamine and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, or an aliphatic copolyamide resin that is a copolymer of two or more kinds of monomers selected from the group consisting of lactam and aminocarboxylic acid.
[0020] Specific examples of the aliphatic copolymer polyamide resin (A-2) include caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminoadipic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 66), caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminoazelaic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 69), caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminosebacic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 610), caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminoundecanoic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 611), caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminododecanoic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 612), caprolactam / aminoundecanoic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 11), caprolactam / lauryllactam copolymer (polyamide 6 / 12), caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminoadipic acid / lauryllactam copolymer (polyamide 6 / 66 / 12), caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminoadipic acid / hexamethylenediaminosebacic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 66 / 610), caprolactam / hexamethylenediaminoadipic acid / hexamethylenediaminododecanedicarboxylic acid copolymer (polyamide 6 / 66 / 612), hexamethylenediaminoadipic acid / caprolactam copolymer (polyamide 66 / 6), etc.

[0022] <Characteristics> (Amino group concentration) The amino group concentration of the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) is 46 to 110 μmol / g. If the amino group concentration is less than 46 μmol / g, the adhesiveness will be poor. If the amino group concentration exceeds 110 μmol / g, the molecular weight cannot be maintained, making it difficult to produce a polyamide resin with such an amino group concentration. Furthermore, the decrease in molecular weight will impair the mechanical properties of the molded product. The amino group concentration of the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) is preferably 50 to 110 μmol / g, more preferably 60 to 100 μmol / g, and particularly preferably 80 to 99 μmol / g. The amino group concentration is determined by dissolving the resin in a mixed solvent of phenol and methanol and performing neutralization titration. The amino group concentration can be adjusted by adding an aliphatic mono- or diamine and / or an aliphatic mono- or dicarboxylic acid during the production of the aliphatic polyamide resin (A).
[0023] (relative viscosity) The relative viscosity of the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.8 to 5.0, and particularly preferably 1.8 to 4.5, as measured at 25°C for a 1% by mass aliphatic polyamide resin (A) in 96% by mass sulfuric acid in accordance with JIS K 6920. The relative viscosity is preferably measured as described above, but when the relative viscosity of each aliphatic polyamide resin (A) and its mixing ratio are known, the average value calculated by multiplying each relative viscosity by the mixing ratio can be used as the relative viscosity of the entire aliphatic polyamide resin (A).
[0024] Examples of the production apparatus for the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) include known polyamide production apparatuses, such as batch-type reaction vessels, single- or multi-vessel continuous reaction vessels, tubular continuous reaction vessels, kneading reaction extruders such as single-screw kneading extruders and twin-screw kneading extruders. Known polymerization methods, such as melt polymerization, solution polymerization, and solid-state polymerization, can be used, and polymerization can be carried out by repeating normal pressure, reduced pressure, and increased pressure operations. These polymerization methods can be used alone or in appropriate combination.
[0025] The method for producing the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) is not particularly limited as long as it produces an aliphatic polyamide resin (A) having an amino group concentration of 46 to 110 μmol / g. Specific examples of methods for producing the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) include a method comprising adding an aliphatic diamine compound during or after polymerization of the aliphatic polyamide resin and / or during extrusion kneading of the aliphatic polyamide resin. Alternatively, the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) may be produced by adding an excess of the aliphatic diamine compound when the raw materials are charged, by adding the raw material monomer components and an aliphatic diamine compound other than the raw material monomer components when the raw materials are charged, or by polymerizing an aliphatic polyamide resin of a predetermined molecular weight and then adding the aliphatic diamine compound in an amount sufficient to achieve the desired amino group concentration immediately before withdrawing the aliphatic polyamide resin from the polymerization vessel. Furthermore, the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) may be produced by melt-kneading the polymerized aliphatic polyamide resin and the diamine compound to achieve the desired amino group concentration. As the production conditions for the aliphatic polyamide resin (A) other than those mentioned above, for example, the method described in JP-A No. 2002-370551 can be mentioned.
[0026] The aliphatic polyamide resin (A) may be one type or a combination of two or more types.
[0027] <Aromatic polyamide resin (B)> The aromatic polyamide resin (B) is a polyamide resin containing an aromatic ring, and therefore, examples of the aromatic polyamide resin (B) include an aromatic copolymer polyamide resin (B-1) and an aromatic homopolyamide resin (B-2).
[0028] <Aromatic Copolyamide Resin (B-1)> The aromatic copolyamide resin (B-1) is an aromatic polyamide resin containing two or more monomer components. Examples of the aromatic copolyamide resin (B-1) include aromatic polyamide resins that are copolymers of monomers selected from the group consisting of a combination of an aliphatic and / or alicyclic diamine and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, a combination of an aromatic diamine and an aliphatic and / or alicyclic dicarboxylic acid, and a combination of an aromatic diamine and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid. When the monomer components constituting the aromatic polyamide resin are a combination of a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid, the combination of one diamine and one dicarboxylic acid is considered to be one monomer component. Examples of the aliphatic diamine and the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid include those mentioned above.

[0091] [Acid modification rate of acid-modified polyolefin] Xylene was added to the acid-modified polyolefin and dissolved with stirring in an oil bath at 125°C. After dissolving the acid-modified polyolefin, an appropriate amount of thymol blue was added, and a burette was set up to carry out neutralization titration using KOH to determine the acid modification rate of the polyolefin.
[0092] [Adhesion test with acid-modified polyolefin] (1) Preparation of test specimens In the following steps 1 and 2, a two-color injection-molded test piece (Test Piece 1) having an ASTM No. 1 dumbbell-shaped test piece shape was obtained. In the following step 3, a test piece (Test Piece 2) after fuel immersion was obtained. Figure 1 is a plan view showing the shape of the test piece for evaluating the adhesion test, and Figure 2 is a side view showing the shape of the test piece for evaluating the adhesion test. Here, the test piece is composed of part 1 (Figure 1, Figure 2:1) and part 2 (Figure 1, Figure 2:2). (1-1) Process 1 Using an injection molding machine (FANUC T-100D, clamping force 100 tons, screw diameter 36 mm), a metal piece having the shape of part 2 in Figure 1 was inserted into the mold, and primary molding of the maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin was performed under conditions of a cylinder temperature of 200°C, a mold temperature of 40°C, and an injection speed of 50 mm / sec, resulting in a molded product of maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin having the shape of part 1. (1-2) Process 2 The maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin molded article obtained in step 1 was thoroughly preheated to 100°C. Then, with the metal piece insert in the shape of part 2 removed, the maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin molded article was inserted into a mold. Part 2 was post-molded using a polyamide resin composition under conditions of a cylinder temperature of 290°C, a mold temperature of 90°C, and an injection speed of 100 mm / sec, to obtain a two-color injection-molded article (test piece 1). In test piece 1, the interface between part 1 (the maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin molded article) and part 2 (the polyamide resin composition molded article) was melt-bonded during the injection of the polyamide resin composition.
[0093] (1-3) Process 3 The two-color injection molded product (test piece 1) was placed in an autoclave and sealed until it was completely immersed in a Fuel C + 10% ethanol (volume ratio: isooctane:toluene:ethanol = 45:45:10). The autoclave was heated to 65°C and the product was immersed for one or three weeks. After that, the molded product was removed, the chemicals were wiped off, and the fuel-immersed test piece (test piece 2) was obtained.
[0094] (2) Physical property testing A tensile test was performed on test piece 2 at room temperature (23°C), a test speed of 50 mm / sec, and a chuck distance of 140 mm to determine the elongation at break and the maximum stress at tensile yield. The values in the table are the average values of the test results for three test pieces. Here, when the elongation at break of the test piece immediately after production was 20% or more and when the elongation at break of the test piece after immersion treatment for one week was 20% or more, it was determined that the adhesiveness was excellent.
[0095] [Calcium chloride resistance] Type A test pieces obtained according to ISO 294-1 were pretreated for 24 hours in a thermostatic chamber adjusted to 80°C and 90% RH. Gauze was placed in the center of the removed test piece, and a saturated calcium chloride aqueous solution was applied. After leaving the piece at 100°C for 2 hours, the surface appearance was observed. If the appearance was good (◯), the piece was judged to have excellent calcium chloride resistance. ○: Appearance is good ×: Poor appearance
[0096] [Fuel permeability] Using an injection molding machine, flat test specimens with a diameter of 75 mm and a thickness of 1 mm were molded. Fuel permeation was measured at a test temperature of 60°C using a mixture of Fuel C (SAE, J1681) and 10% ethanol by volume (iso-octane:toluene:ethanol = 45:45:10 (volume ratio)) in accordance with JIS Z0208. The permeation area was 1.13 × 10 -3 m 2 (φ3.8×10 -2 The number of test pieces filled with the test fuel was "2," and the number of control pieces not filled with the test fuel was "1." The fuel permeability of the polyamide resin composition of Example 2 was measured and found to be 2.7 g·mm / (m 2 -24 hours).
[0097] The results are shown in Table 1. The units of composition in the table are mass %.
[0098] [Table 1]
[0099] As is clear from the results in Table 1, the polyamide resin compositions of the examples were excellent in mechanical properties, adhesiveness and calcium chloride resistance. In Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the amount of acid modification in the acid-modified polyolefin was less than 8 μmol / g, and therefore the adhesiveness was poor. The resin composition of Comparative Example 4 had poor mechanical properties because the content of the aromatic polyamide resin (B) exceeded 18% by mass. The resin compositions of Comparative Examples 5 and 6 contained an aliphatic polyamide resin with an amino group concentration of less than 46 μmol / g, and therefore had poor adhesiveness. The resin composition of Comparative Example 7 did not contain either the polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether (C) or the polyolefin wax (D), and therefore was poor in both mechanical properties and calcium chloride resistance. The resin composition of Comparative Example 8 contained an aliphatic polyamide resin having an amino group concentration of less than 46 μmol / g, and did not contain either the polyalkylene glycol alkyl ether (C) or the polyolefin wax (D), and therefore was inferior in all of the mechanical properties, adhesion, and calcium chloride resistance.
