Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a multilayer body. [Background technology]
[0002] Polyamide resins are widely used as various industrial materials due to their excellent processability, mechanical strength, durability, heat resistance, oxygen barrier properties, chemical resistance, and the like. Aliphatic polyamide resins, such as polyamide 6 and polyamide 66, have long been used as such polyamide resins. Furthermore, aromatic polyamide resins, which use aromatic dicarboxylic acids and / or aromatic diamines as raw materials for the polyamide resin, have also come into use. Known examples of such aromatic polyamide resins include polyamide resin (MXD6) synthesized from metaxylylenediamine and adipic acid. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a film laminate in which a polyamide layer (A) containing a xylylene-based polyamide resin (a) as a main component and a layer (B) made of a polyamide resin composition are laminated together, and the polyamide resin composition contains 74 to 94 mass% of a polyamide resin (b), 0.1 to 2.8 mass% of an olefin-based elastomer, 0.01 to 3 mass% of an ionomer resin, and 5.5 to 20 mass% of a polyamide resin (c), wherein the polyamide resin (b) is an aliphatic polyamide resin and the polyamide resin (c) is a xylylene-based polyamide resin.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2017 / 073560 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] As described in Patent Document 1, when a multilayer structure is formed by combining a polyamide resin layer (MXD6 layer) synthesized from metaxylylenediamine and adipic acid with a polyamide 6 layer or a polyolefin layer, the polyamide 6 layer and the polyolefin layer have excellent flexibility, while the MXD6 layer is rigid, so pinholes tend to form in the MXD6 layer. In particular, when the MXD6 layer functions as a barrier layer in a multilayer structure, pinholes formed in the MXD6 layer can cause a decrease in barrier properties. Furthermore, pinholes originating from the MXD6 layer can also form in the multilayer structure. The present invention aims to solve the above problems and to provide a multilayer body having high pinhole resistance and high oxygen barrier properties. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In light of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have conducted research and found that the problems can be solved by using an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms in combination with an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, such as adipic acid, as a raw material monomer for the polyamide resin used in the polyamide resin layer. Specifically, the above problems were solved by the following means. <1> A multilayer body having a stretched film containing more than 60% by mass of polyamide resin (A) and a layer other than the stretched film, wherein the polyamide resin (A) contains diamine-derived structural units and dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units, 70 mol % or more of the diamine-derived structural units being derived from xylylenediamine, and 70.1 to 92.0 mol % of the dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units being derived from an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms and 29.9 to 8.0 mol % being derived from an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms. <2> At least one of the other layers is a layer containing polyamide 6 and / or polyamide 6 / 66, <1> The multilayer body according to claim 1. <3> At least one of the other layers is a layer containing polyolefin. <1> or <2> The multilayer body according to claim 1. <4> 75.0 to 88.0 mol % of the dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units are derived from α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and 25.0 to 12.0 mol % are derived from α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 12 carbon atoms. <1> ~ <3> 10. The multilayer body according to any one of the preceding items. <5> The α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms includes adipic acid, and the α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms includes sebacic acid. <1> ~ <4> 10. The multilayer body according to any one of the preceding items. <6> 70 mol % or more of the diamine-derived structural units are derived from metaxylylenediamine, <1> ~ <5> 10. The multilayer body according to any one of the preceding items. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] The present invention makes it possible to provide a multilayer body having high pinhole resistance and high oxygen barrier properties. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the multilayer body of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a method for measuring the gel fraction in the examples. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] 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. In this specification, ppm means ppm by mass. 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.
[0009] The multilayer body of this embodiment includes a stretched film (sometimes referred to herein as a "polyamide resin layer") containing more than 60% by mass of polyamide resin (A), and a layer other than the stretched film. The polyamide resin (A) contains diamine-derived structural units and dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units, with at least 70 mol % of the diamine-derived structural units being derived from xylylenediamine. Of the dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units, 70.1 to 92.0 mol % are derived from α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 8 carbon atoms and 29.9 to 8.0 mol % are derived from α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 12 carbon atoms. This configuration allows for the production of a multilayer body with high pinhole resistance and high oxygen barrier properties. Furthermore, the molding temperature can be lowered, resulting in a multilayer body in which gelation of the polyamide resin layer is suppressed.
[0010] That is, a polyamide resin layer containing more than 60% by mass of a polyamide resin synthesized from xylylenediamine and an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, such as adipic acid, has excellent oxygen barrier properties and functions as an oxygen barrier layer in a multilayer structure. However, because such a polyamide resin layer is rigid, it is thought that pinholes are likely to form in the polyamide resin layer when it is combined with a flexible layer, such as a polyamide 6 layer or a polyolefin layer, in a multilayer structure. In this embodiment, it is thought that by modifying the polyamide resin used in the polyamide resin layer with an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms, high pinhole resistance can be achieved while maintaining the excellent oxygen barrier properties of the polyamide resin layer.
[0011] Fig. 1 shows an example of a cross-sectional view of a multilayer body of this embodiment, with 1 indicating the multilayer body, 2 indicating a polyamide resin layer (stretched film), and 3 indicating other layers. As shown in Fig. 1, the multilayer body 1 of this embodiment has another layer 3 other than the stretched film 2. The other layer is, for example, a highly flexible layer, and examples thereof include a layer containing an aliphatic polyamide resin (preferably a layer containing polyamide 6 and / or polyamide 66 / 6, more preferably a layer containing polyamide 6), a layer containing a polyolefin, an adhesive layer, a sealant layer, an oxygen absorbing layer, an oxygen permeable layer, a metal vapor deposition layer, a design layer (paper, resin), an aroma retaining layer, an oil-resistant layer, a water vapor barrier layer, a flame-retardant layer, an insulating layer, an easy-cut layer, and an anti-fogging layer.

By containing polyamide resin (A), a polyamide resin layer having excellent pinhole resistance and oxygen barrier properties can be obtained, and the pinhole resistance and oxygen barrier properties of the multilayer body can be improved. The proportion of polyamide resin (A) in the stretched film (polyamide resin layer) is preferably 70% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, even more preferably 90% by mass or more, even more preferably 95% by mass or more, and may be 99% by mass or more. The stretched film (polyamide resin layer) in this embodiment may contain only one type of polyamide resin (A), or may contain two or more types. When two or more types are contained, the total amount is preferably within the above range.
[0037] The polyamide resin (A) contains diamine-derived structural units and dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units, with 70 mol % or more of the diamine-derived structural units being derived from xylylenediamine (preferably meta-xylylenediamine and / or para-xylylenediamine, more preferably meta-xylylenediamine), and 70.1 to 92.0 mol % of the dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units being derived from α,ω-straight-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and 29.9 to 8.0 mol % being derived from α,ω-straight-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 12 carbon atoms.
[0038] In the polyamide resin (A), 70 mol % or more of the diamine-derived structural units are derived from xylylenediamine. It is presumed that the use of xylylenediamine causes molecular chain stacking due to the influence of the benzene ring structure, reducing the free volume in the resin and thereby exhibiting high oxygen barrier properties. The diamine-derived structural units in the polyamide resin of this embodiment are preferably 75 mol % or more, more preferably 80 mol % or more, even more preferably 85 mol % or more, still more preferably 90 mol % or more, even more preferably 95 mol % or more, and still more preferably 99 mol % or more derived from xylylenediamine. The upper limit may be 100 mol %. In this embodiment, meta-xylylenediamine and para-xylylenediamine preferably account for 99 mol % or more of the total xylylenediamine. The molar ratio of meta-xylylenediamine to para-xylylenediamine in the xylylenediamine, when the total of meta-xylylenediamine and para-xylylenediamine is 100 mol, is preferably 10 to 100 / 90 to 0, more preferably 30 to 100 / 70 to 0, even more preferably 50 to 100 / 50 to 0, still more preferably 80 to 100 / 20 to 0, even more preferably 90 to 100 / 10 to 0, and still more preferably 95 to 100 / 5 to 0. By increasing the ratio of meta-xylylenediamine, it is possible to suppress an increase in melting point and lower the processing temperature, thereby more effectively suppressing the occurrence of scorching and gelation.
[0039] Examples of diamines other than xylylenediamine that can be used as the raw material diamine component of the polyamide resin in this embodiment include aliphatic diamines such as tetramethylenediamine, pentamethylenediamine, 2-methylpentanediamine, hexamethylenediamine, heptamethylenediamine, octamethylenediamine, nonamethylenediamine, decamethylenediamine, dodecamethylenediamine, 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylenediamine, and 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylenediamine; 1,3-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane; Examples include alicyclic diamines such as 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane, 1,3-diaminocyclohexane, 1,4-diaminocyclohexane, bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)methane, 2,2-bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)propane, bis(aminomethyl)decalin, and bis(aminomethyl)tricyclodecane; and diamines having an aromatic ring such as paraxylylenediamine, bis(4-aminophenyl)ether, paraphenylenediamine, and bis(aminomethyl)naphthalene, and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0040] The polyamide resin (A) in this embodiment contains diamine-derived structural units and dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units, with 70.1 to 92.0 mol % of the dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units being derived from α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 8 carbon atoms and 29.9 to 8.0 mol % being derived from α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 12 carbon atoms. The use of α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 8 carbon atoms increases the amide bond density, tending to produce polyamide resins with excellent oxygen barrier properties. Furthermore, the use of α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 12 carbon atoms lowers the melting point, thereby lowering the extrusion temperature and suppressing scorching and gel formation, and also tends to produce polyamide resins with improved flexibility and excellent pinhole resistance.
[0041] Examples of the α,ω-straight-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms include succinic acid, glutaric acid, pimelic acid, adipic acid, and suberic acid, with adipic acid being preferred. Examples of α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 12 carbon atoms include azelaic acid, sebacic acid, undecanedioic acid, and dodecanedioic acid, with sebacic acid being preferred. Sebacic acid can be derived from plant materials, which can increase the bio-based content of the resin.
[0042] Examples of dicarboxylic acid components other than the above-mentioned α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 12 carbon atoms include phthalic acid compounds such as isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, and orthophthalic acid, and naphthalenedicarboxylic acids such as 1,2-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,5-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and 2,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0043] The proportion of the α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms (preferably adipic acid) in the dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units is preferably 75.0 mol % or more, and more preferably 78.0 mol % or more. By making the proportion equal to or greater than the lower limit, gas barrier properties tend to be further improved. Furthermore, the proportion of the α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms is preferably 88.0 mol % or less, more preferably 86.0 mol % or less, even more preferably 85.0 mol % or less, and even more preferably 84.0 mol % or less. By making the proportion equal to or less than the upper limit, flexibility is improved and pinhole resistance tends to be excellent.
[0044] The proportion of the α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms (preferably sebacic acid) in the dicarboxylic acid-derived structural units is preferably 25.0 mol% or less, and more preferably 22.0 mol% or less. By making it equal to or less than the upper limit, oxygen barrier properties tend to be further improved. Furthermore, the proportion of the α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms is preferably 12.0 mol% or more, more preferably 14.0 mol% or more, even more preferably 15.0 mol% or more, and may be 16.0 mol% or more. By making it equal to or more than the lower limit, flexibility is improved and pinhole resistance tends to be more excellent.

The upper limit of this total may be 100 mol%. The structural units derived from an α,ω-straight-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms and the structural units derived from an α,ω-straight-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms may each be used alone or in combination of two or more. When two or more types are used, it is preferable that the total amount is in the above range.

The polyamide resin layer in this embodiment may contain only one type of other polyamide resin, or may contain two or more types. When two or more types are contained, the total amount is preferably within the above range.
[0054] The polyamide resin layer in this embodiment may contain an oxidation reaction accelerator, which can enhance the oxygen absorption of the polyamide resin layer in this embodiment. The oxidation reaction accelerator may be any one that exhibits an oxidation reaction acceleration effect, but from the viewpoint of accelerating the oxidation reaction of the polyamide resin (A), a compound containing a transition metal element is preferred. The transition metal element is preferably at least one selected from the transition metals of Group VIII of the periodic table, manganese, copper, and zinc, and from the viewpoint of effectively exhibiting oxygen absorption capacity, at least one selected from cobalt, iron, manganese, and nickel is more preferred, with cobalt being even more preferred. When the oxidation reaction accelerator contains a transition metal element, the content thereof is preferably 10 ppm by mass or more and preferably 1000 ppm by mass or less, in terms of the transition metal concentration in the polyamide resin (A), from the viewpoint of accelerating the oxidation reaction of the polyamide resin (A) and enhancing the oxygen absorption capacity of the molded article. The transition metal concentration in the molded article can be measured by a known method, for example, ICP emission spectrometry. The oxidation reaction accelerators may be used singly or in combination of two or more. When two or more types are used in combination, the total amount is preferably within the above range.
[0055] The oxygen permeability (OTR, unit: cc / m) of the stretched film in this embodiment 2 ·atm·day) is 0.2cc / m 2 ·atm·day or less is preferable, and 0.1cc / m 2 The lower limit is 0 cc / m 2 Atm·day or more is ideal, but 0.0001cc / m 2 ·atm·day is practical. The oxygen permeability is measured as described in the Examples section below.
[0056] The stretched film in this embodiment is obtained by stretching an unstretched polyamide resin layer. By stretching, the oxygen barrier property of the polyamide resin layer can be improved. The stretching may be uniaxial or biaxial, with biaxial stretching being preferred. The biaxial stretching may be sequential or simultaneous. Furthermore, in the case of uniaxial stretching, the stretching ratio is preferably 1.1 times or more, more preferably 2 times or more, even more preferably 2.5 times or more, and even more preferably 3.0 times or more.

There is no particular upper limit, but it is preferably 20.0 times or less.
[0057] The unstretched polyamide resin layer may be stretched after being formed into a multilayer body with other layers, or the unstretched polyamide resin layer may be stretched and then laminated with other layers. When an unstretched polyamide resin layer is stretched, the stretching method can be determined by referring to paragraphs 0049 to 0053 of WO 2017 / 010390, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, when the unstretched polyamide resin layer is combined with other layers to form a multilayer body, the description in paragraphs 0080 to 0092 of WO 2017 / 073560 can be taken into consideration, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, for the production of stretched films and multilayer bodies, the descriptions in paragraphs 0025 to 0030 of Patent Publication No. 2019 / 208687 can be taken into consideration within the scope of the present invention, and the contents of these are incorporated into this specification. The film can be produced by extruding a resin composition comprising the polyamide resin (A) and other components blended as necessary. Here, when producing the polyamide resin (A), for example, the molding temperature can be lowered by 10°C or more (preferably 20°C or more, and, for example, 30°C or less) than when the structural units derived from an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms in the polyamide resin (A) are replaced with an equimolar amount of structural units derived from an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 8 carbon atoms. As a result, gelation of the resulting film can be more effectively suppressed.

Specifically, polyamide resin (A) was extruded to obtain films with a width of 175 mm and thicknesses of 140 μm and 250 μm. The resulting 140 μm thick film was cut into 120 mm squares. Subsequently, using a batch-type biaxial stretching device (tenter method, EX10-S5, manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.), the film was stretched in both MD and TD directions while heated in an air atmosphere at 100°C, with a stretch ratio of 3.0 in MD and 3.0 in TD, for a total stretch ratio of 9.0, to obtain a stretched film with a thickness of 15 μm. During this stretching process, a relaxation operation was performed midway, with an MD relaxation rate of 2.5% and a TD relaxation rate of 2.5%. After stretching, the film was heat-set. The heat-set temperature was 140°C, and the heat-set time was 45 seconds, to obtain a monolayer stretched film. The thickness of the obtained monolayer stretched film was 15 μm.
[0066] <Production of multilayer stretched film (multilayer body)> Polyamide 6 (PA6) and MXD610 were extruded at 240°C using two single-screw extruders (Plastics Engineering Research Institute, screw diameter 40 mm) and a multilayer film molding machine equipped with a T-die and a flow path for forming a two-type, two-layer multilayer structure. A multilayer structure (multilayer film) consisting of a polyamide 6 layer (PA6 layer) and a polyamide resin (A) (MXD610) layer was formed at an extrusion temperature of 240°C and a post-lamination flow path temperature of 240°C. Each layer was 70 μm thick, and the total thickness of the film layers was 140 μm. The resulting film was cut into 120 mm squares. Subsequently, using a batch-type biaxial stretching device (tenter method, EX10-S5, Toyo Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.), the film was stretched in both MD and TD directions while heated at 100°C in an air atmosphere, with a stretch ratio of 3.0 in MD, 3.0 in TD, and a total stretch ratio of 9.0, to obtain a 15 μm-thick stretched film. During this stretching process, a relaxation operation was performed with an MD relaxation rate of 2.5% and a TD relaxation rate of 2.5%. After stretching, the film was heat-set at a temperature of 170°C for 45 seconds to obtain a stretched multilayer film.
[0067] <Oxygen transmission rate (OTR)> The obtained single-layer stretched film (polyamide resin layer) was measured for oxygen permeability (OTR, unit: cc / m) by the isobaric method in an atmosphere of 23°C and relative humidity (RH) 60%. 2 The pressure of the oxygen atmosphere was 1 atm, and the measurement time was 24 hours (1 day). The oxygen transmission rate (OTR) was measured using an oxygen transmission rate measuring device (manufactured by MOCON, "OX-TRAN (registered trademark) 2 / 21"). The evaluation was carried out according to the following classification, and the results are shown in Table 1 below. A: 0.1cc / m 2 ·atm·day or less B: 0.1cc / m 2 ·atm·day super 0.2cc / m 2 ·atm·day or less C: 0.2cc / m 2 ·atm·day super 0.3cc / m 2 ·atm·day or less
[0068] <Pinhole resistance> The obtained stretched multilayer film was cut into 25 cm squares and attached to a pinhole resistance tester. The film was subjected to a 440° twisting motion and a 65 mm linear motion at a rate of 40 times / min, and the film was bent 3,000 times. The number of pinholes in the film after bending was measured using a pinhole tester. 2 The number of pinholes per 100cm of film was calculated. 2 The number of pinholes per pixel is calculated as follows: Number of pinholes (pcs / 100cm 2 ) = total number of pinholes (pcs) / effective test area (cm 2 ) x 100 In this example, a Gelbo Flex Tester manufactured by Rigaku Corporation was used as the pinhole resistance tester, and a POROSCOPE DC manufactured by Fischer was used as the pinhole inspection machine. The evaluation was carried out according to the following classification, and the results are shown in Table 1 below. A: 5 or less B: 6~9 pieces C: 10 or more
[0069] <Gelling prevention> In the present invention, the gel formation suppression effect of polyamide resins was evaluated by comparing the gel fractions of polyamide resins heated in a molten state under high pressure for a fixed time and at a fixed temperature, simulating the conditions to which polyamide resins are exposed during molding. When pressurized and heated resins were immersed in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) for 24 hours, the ungelled resin completely dissolved, while the gelled resin remained as a swollen insoluble component. In this example, the gel fraction was calculated from the insoluble component. In the present invention, the gel fraction refers to the percentage obtained by dividing the mass of the residue obtained by vacuum filtering the insoluble component through a membrane filter and drying it by the mass of the resin, which was weighed before immersion in HFIP.
[0070] <<Gel fraction measurement>> The monolayer unstretched film (250 μm thick) obtained above was cut into a circle with a diameter of 30 mm, and four of these were produced (hereinafter referred to as "circular films"). Circular films 11 were stacked concentrically, and as shown in Figure 2, the concentrically stacked circular films were inserted into the hole of a 1 mm thick, 120 × 120 mm polytetrafluoroethylene sheet 12 with a hole cut out to a diameter of 30 mm, to obtain Sheet A. Sheet A was sandwiched between two 1 mm thick, 120 × 120 mm polytetrafluoroethylene sheets 13, 13. Next, sheet A sandwiched between polytetrafluoroethylene sheets was placed in the center of a 15 mm thick x 150 mm x 150 mm metal plate 14 having a 120 mm x 120 mm groove 3 mm deep in the center, and then sandwiched between two 15 mm thick x 150 mm x 150 mm metal plates 15 on both sides, and then metal plates 14 and 15 were fixed in place with bolts. Next, a preheated heat press was used to press the sheet at 30 kg / cm 2 The metal plates were sandwiched under a pressure of 72, 96, 120, 144, and 160°C for a predetermined time at the melting point of each polyamide resin + 30°C. After each predetermined time had elapsed, the metal plate was removed and rapidly cooled. Once it had cooled sufficiently to room temperature, Sheet A was removed, and the 1 mm thick circular film inside was taken out.
[0071] The circular film was then dried in a thermostatic oven at 60°C for 30 minutes, and 100 mg of the dried sample was immediately weighed. The weighed retained sample was immersed in 10 mL of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) with a purity of 99% or higher for 24 hours and then filtered under reduced pressure through a pre-weighed polytetrafluoroethylene membrane filter with a 300 μm pore size. The residue remaining on the membrane filter was washed three times with 2 mL of HFIP, and the filter with the residue attached was then dried in a thermostatic oven at 60°C for 30 minutes. The total mass of the dried residue and filter was weighed, and the amount of HFIP-insoluble components (gel content) in the retained sample was calculated from the difference between this and the pre-weighed mass of the membrane filter. The gel fraction was calculated as the mass % of the HFIP-insoluble components relative to the retained sample before immersion in HFIP. The evaluation for each heating time was carried out three times, and the average value was taken as the gel fraction for each heating time. The heating time at which the gel fraction reached 10% or more was investigated using the above measurement method, and the evaluation classification was as follows: A: More than 168 hours B: 96 hours or more but less than 168 hours C: Less than 96 hours The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0072] Comparative Example 1 The same procedures as in Example 1 were carried out except that the types of resins used in the other layers and the type of polyamide resin (A) were changed as shown in Table 1 and the extrusion temperature was changed to 260°C.
[0073] Examples 2 and 3, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 The same procedures were carried out as in Example 1, except that the types of resins used in the other layers and the type of polyamide resin (A) were changed as shown in Table 1.
[0074] Examples 4 and 5 <Manufacturing of multilayer bodies> The polyamide resins listed in Table 1, PP, and adhesive PP were extruded at 240°C using three single-screw extruders (Plastic Engineering Research Institute, 40 mm screw diameter) and a multilayer film molding machine equipped with a T-die and a flow path for forming a three-type, three-layer multilayer structure. A multilayer structure (multilayer film) consisting of a PP layer, adhesive PP layer, and polyamide resin layer was formed at an extrusion temperature of 240°C and a post-lamination flow path temperature of 240°C. The polyamide resin layer was 65 μm thick, the PP layer was 65 μm thick, and the adhesive PP layer was 10 μm thick, resulting in a total film thickness of 140 μm. The resulting film was cut into 120 mm squares. The film was then stretched in both MD and TD directions using a batch-type biaxial stretching device (tenter method, EX10-S5, Toyo Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) while heated in an air atmosphere at 100°C, with a stretch ratio of 3.0 in MD, 3.0 in TD, and a total stretch ratio of 9.0, to obtain a 15 μm-thick stretched multilayer film. During this stretching process, a relaxation operation was performed with an MD relaxation rate of 2.5% and a TD relaxation rate of 2.5%. After stretching, heat setting was performed at a heat setting temperature of 140°C for 45 seconds to obtain a multilayer body (stretched multilayer film). The pinhole resistance of the obtained multilayer film was evaluated in the same manner as above. The OTR of the stretched film was measured in the same manner as in Example 1 for monolayer stretched films in which the type of polyamide resin used was changed. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0075] [Table 1]
[0076] The ratio of a1 to a2 in Table 1 above is a molar ratio. The unit of oxygen transmission rate (OTR) is: cc / m 2 ·atm·day. As is clear from the above results, the multilayer bodies of the present invention had excellent oxygen barrier properties and pinhole resistance (Examples 1 to 5). Furthermore, gelation was suppressed. In contrast, when MXD6 was used in the polyamide resin layer (Comparative Example 1), pinhole resistance was poor, and gelation was not sufficiently suppressed. Furthermore, when the polyamide resin used in the polyamide resin layer had a high degree of modification with an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 9 to 12 carbon atoms (Comparative Example 2), the barrier properties were poor.
