Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to resin compositions, pellets, and molded articles. In particular, it relates to resin compositions having polycarbonate resin as a main component. [Background technology]
[0002] Polycarbonate resin (PC resin) is a resin with excellent transparency, heat resistance, weather resistance, mechanical properties, and electrical properties, and is widely used in materials for automobiles, aircraft, electrical and electronic equipment, housing materials, medical devices, and other industrial fields. Traditionally, the development of polymer alloys by blending polycarbonate resin with other types of resins has been carried out in a wide range of fields with the aim of further improving the functionality and reducing the cost of materials. For example, in the automotive field, the development of alloys by blending polycarbonate resin with acrylic resin, styrene resin, etc. has been widely carried out and is actually used in automotive exterior materials such as front air dams, pillars, roof rails, spoilers, rear gate garnishes, and door mirror housings.

Advantages of the Invention
[0007] According to the present invention, a resin composition capable of providing a molded article excellent in water repellency, color development property, and weather resistance, as well as pellets and molded articles, has been provided.
Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0008] Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described in detail. The following present embodiment is an exemplification for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited only to the present embodiment. In this specification, "~" is used in the meaning of including the numerical values described before and after it as lower limit values and upper limit values. In this specification, all physical properties and characteristic values shall be those at 23°C unless otherwise specified. If the measurement methods, etc., described in the standards shown herein differ from year to year, unless otherwise specified, the standards as of January 1, 2022 shall apply.
[0009] The resin composition of this embodiment comprises 100 parts by mass of a total of polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B), 1 to 10 parts by mass of acrylic copolymer (C), and 0.05 to 3 parts by mass of a linear or branched polyorganosiloxane (D) having aromatic groups and / or alkoxy groups, wherein the methacrylic copolymer (B) contains styrene units and alkyl methacrylate units, and the acrylic copolymer (C) contains alkyl methacrylate units and alkyl acrylate units. With this configuration, a resin composition is obtained that can provide molded articles with excellent water repellency, color development, and weather resistance. Furthermore, a resin composition with excellent heat and humidity resistance is also obtained. Weather resistance is achieved by using methacrylic copolymer (B) and acrylic copolymer (C), in addition to using a specified polyorganosiloxane (D). The reason why weather resistance improved with the use of the specified polyorganosiloxane (D) is presumed to be because one of the factors that worsens weather resistance is water resistance. In other words, it is presumed that by using the specified polyorganosiloxane (D), it was possible to improve water resistance, which affects weather resistance. In particular, it is presumed that when the specified polyorganosiloxane (D) has aromatic groups, it has excellent compatibility with polycarbonate resin (A), and therefore excellent color development can be effectively achieved. Furthermore, it is presumed that when the specified polyorganosiloxane (D) has alkoxy groups, the alkoxy groups have high polarity, so the affinity with polycarbonate resin (A) can be increased, and excellent color development can be effectively achieved. In contrast, it was presumed that when the polyorganosiloxane lacked aromatic and alkoxy groups, for example, only alkyl groups, it could not achieve affinity or compatibility with the polycarbonate resin (A), and therefore excellent color development could not be achieved. The color development is primarily achieved by incorporating linear or branched polyorganosiloxanes (D) having aromatic and / or alkoxy groups (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "polyorganosiloxanes (D)"). Water repellency is achieved by incorporating a predetermined amount of polyorganosiloxane (D). The details of this embodiment will be described below.

In this embodiment, the polycarbonate resin is preferably an aromatic polycarbonate resin, and more preferably a polycarbonate resin having a bisphenol skeleton. By using such a polycarbonate resin, better heat resistance and toughness can be achieved. In this embodiment, in the polycarbonate resin having a bisphenol skeleton, it is preferable that 90 mol% or more of the total constituent units are bisphenol skeleton-containing units, and more preferably that 90 mol% or more of the total constituent units are bisphenol A-derived units.
[0011] Furthermore, the viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of the polycarbonate resin is preferably 10,000 or more, more preferably 12,000 or more, and even more preferably 15,000 or more.

Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve the moldability of the molded product. The viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) is determined by using methylene chloride as a solvent and an Ubbelohde viscometer to obtain the intrinsic viscosity [η] (unit: dL / g) at a temperature of 25°C, and using the Schnell viscosity formula, that is, η = 1.23×10 -4 ×Mv 0.83 , and means the value calculated therefrom. When using two or more polycarbonate resins, it is the viscosity-average molecular weight of the mixture.
[0012] Also, the melt volume rate (MVR) of the polycarbonate resin used in this embodiment at 250°C and a load of 2.16 kg is preferably 10 cm 3 / 10 min or more, and preferably 70 cm 3 / 10 min or less, more preferably 65 cm 3 / 10 min or less, still more preferably 50 cm 3 / 10 min or less, even more preferably 40 cm 3 / 10 min or less, still even more preferably 30 cm 3 / 10 min or less, yet even more preferably 20 cm 3 / 10 min or less is even more preferably. The MVR is measured by putting the pellets of the sample to be measured into the cylinder of a melt indexer and measuring the value after heating for 4 minutes under the conditions of 260°C and a load of 5 kg in accordance with the ISO-1133 standard. When using two or more polycarbonate resins, it is the MVR of the mixture.
[0013] In addition to the above, the details of the polycarbonate resin can be referred to the descriptions in paragraphs

When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0015] <Methacrylic copolymer (B)> The resin composition of this embodiment contains a methacrylic copolymer (B) comprising styrene units and alkyl methacrylate units.

Furthermore, the upper limit of the content of methacrylic copolymer (B) is preferably 60 parts by mass or less, more preferably 50 parts by mass or less, even more preferably 45 parts by mass or less, even more preferably 40 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 35 parts by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B).

The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of methacrylic copolymer (B), or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0018] <Acrylic copolymer (C)> The resin composition of this embodiment contains an acrylic copolymer (C) comprising alkyl methacrylate units and alkyl acrylate units. The inclusion of acrylic copolymer (C) tends to further improve impact resistance.

Setting it above the lower limit tends to further improve the effect of maintaining the mechanical strength of the polycarbonate resin composition. The weight-average molecular weight of the acrylic copolymer (C) is also preferably 200,000 or less, more preferably 180,000 or less, even more preferably 160,000 or less, even more preferably 140,000 or less, and even more preferably 120,000 or less.

[0022] The content of the acrylic copolymer (C) in the resin composition of this embodiment is 1 part by mass or more, preferably 2 parts by mass or more, more preferably 2.5 parts by mass or more, even more preferably 3 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 3.5 parts by mass or more, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of the polycarbonate resin (A) and the methacrylic copolymer (B).

Setting the content below the upper limit tends to further improve the maintenance effect of the mechanical strength, heat resistance, and low water absorption of the resin composition. The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of acrylic copolymer (C), or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0023] <Linear or branched polyorganosiloxanes (D) having aromatic and / or alkoxy groups> The resin composition of this embodiment contains 100 parts by mass of a total of polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B), and 0.05 to 3 parts by mass of a linear or branched polyorganosiloxane (D) having aromatic groups and / or alkoxy groups. By including such a polyorganosiloxane (D), water repellency and color development can be improved.
[0024] The polyorganosiloxane (D) used in this embodiment has aromatic groups and / or alkoxy groups. The presence of these groups improves compatibility or affinity with the polycarbonate resin (A), thereby improving both water repellency and color development. The aromatic group of polyorganosiloxane (D) is preferably a phenyl group. Furthermore, the alkoxy group of polyorganosiloxane (D) is preferably an alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, more preferably an alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and even more preferably a methoxy group.
[0025] The polyorganosiloxane (D) used in this embodiment preferably has a viscosity of 10 mPa·s or more, more preferably 20 mPa·s or more, even more preferably 50 mPa·s or more, even more preferably 80 mPa·s or more, and even more preferably 100 mPa·s or more. Setting it above the lower limit reduces the amount of volatile components, suppresses mold contamination during molding, and tends to more effectively suppress the decrease of water-repellent components on the surface. Furthermore, the viscosity is preferably 10,000 mPa·s or less, more preferably 5,000 mPa·s or less, even more preferably 3,000 mPa·s or less, even more preferably 2,000 mPa·s or less, and even more preferably 1,000 mPa·s or less. Setting it below the upper limit makes it easier for segregation to occur on the surface in the molded article, and as a result, tends to further improve the water repellency of the surface. The viscosity of polyorganosiloxane (D) is measured according to the Ubberohde viscometer in accordance with JIS Z 8803:2011.
[0026] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the polyorganosiloxane (D) used in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 500 or more, more preferably 600 or more, even more preferably 700 or more, and particularly preferably 800 or more. It is also preferably 60,000 or less, more preferably 40,000 or less, even more preferably 30,000 or less, even more preferably 20,000 or less, even more preferably 10,000 or less, and may also be 5,000 or less, 2,000 or less, 1,800 or less, 1,700 or less, 1,600 or less, or 1,100 or less. Setting the weight-average molecular weight above the lower limit reduces the amount of volatile components, improves retention and moldability, and more effectively suppresses the reduction of components that affect the water droplet contact angle on the surface, which is preferable. Setting the weight-average molecular weight below the upper limit reduces the viscosity of the polyorganosiloxane (D), making it easier to segregate on the surface in the molded body, which tends to further improve the water droplet contact angle, and is therefore preferable. Furthermore, by keeping the weight-average molecular weight below the above upper limit, the compatibility of the polyorganosiloxane with (A) polycarbonate resin is improved, making it easier to obtain a more transparent resin composition, which is preferable.
[0027] The content of polyorganosiloxane (D) in the resin composition of this embodiment is 0.05 parts by mass or more, preferably 0.08 parts by mass or more, more preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, even more preferably 0.2 parts by mass or more, even more preferably 0.6 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 0.8 parts by mass or more, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B). Setting the content above the lower limit tends to further improve the water repellency and weather resistance of the resulting molded article. Furthermore, the upper limit of the polyorganosiloxane (D) content is 3 parts by mass or less, preferably 2.5 parts by mass or less, more preferably 2 parts by mass or less, even more preferably 1.5 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 1 part by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B). Setting the content below the upper limit tends to further improve the color development of the resulting molded article. The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of polyorganosiloxane (D), or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0028] <Other water repellents> The resin composition of this embodiment may contain water-repellent agents other than the specified polyorganosiloxane (D). Other water-repellent agents include higher aliphatic hydrocarbons, with paraffin wax being preferred. The inclusion of paraffin wax tends to further improve weather resistance in addition to water repellency. Examples of paraffin waxes include substances whose main component is a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon such as n-paraffin and / or i-paraffin, or low molecular weight polyethylene having hydroxyl groups at its ends and having a waxy appearance. The molecular weight of the paraffin wax, as measured by GPC, is preferably 300 to 1500, more preferably 300 to 1000. The paraffin wax can be easily produced by conventional organic reactions, or a commercially available product can be used.
[0029] If the resin composition of this embodiment contains a water-repellent agent other than the predetermined polyorganosiloxane (D) (preferably paraffin wax), the content thereof is preferably 0.01 parts by mass or more, more preferably 0.05 parts by mass or more, even more preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, even more preferably 0.15 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 0.2 parts by mass or more, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of the polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B). Furthermore, the upper limit of the content of the water-repellent agent other than the predetermined polyorganosiloxane (D) (preferably paraffin wax) is preferably 1 part by mass or less, more preferably 0.7 parts by mass or less, even more preferably 0.5 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.3 parts by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of the polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B). The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one other water-repellent agent (preferably paraffin wax) in addition to the specified polyorganosiloxane (D), or it may contain two or more. When two or more are included, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0030] <UV absorber (E)> The resin composition of this embodiment preferably contains an ultraviolet absorber (E) in a ratio of 0.1 to 1.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total of the polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B). By including the ultraviolet absorber (E), a molded product with excellent weather resistance can be obtained. Examples of UV absorbers (E) include benzotriazole-based UV absorbers, benzophenone-based UV absorbers, benzoate-based UV absorbers, hindered amine-based UV absorbers, and triazine-based UV absorbers, with a preference for containing a benzotriazole-based UV absorber.

In particular, by using 0.2 parts by mass or more of polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B) relative to a total of 100 parts by mass, the effect of maintaining moisture and heat resistance tends to improve significantly. The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of ultraviolet absorber (E), or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0035] <Hindered amine-based light stabilizer (F)> The resin composition of this embodiment contains a hindered amine-based light stabilizer (F) in a ratio of 0.1 to 1 part by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total of the polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B).

Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve the effect of maintaining the moisture heat resistance and heat retention stability of the resin composition. The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of hindered amine-based light stabilizer (F), or it may contain two or more types. When two or more types are included, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.

The molten resin composition extruded into strands was rapidly cooled in a water bath and pelletized using a pelletizer to obtain resin composition pellets.
[0068] <Color development (initial hue)> The pellets obtained above were dried at 120°C for 5 hours, and then injection molded using a Shibaura Machine Co., Ltd.

The measurement device used was the DropMaster 300 solid-liquid interface analyzer manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.
[0070] <Weather resistance> The pellets obtained above were dried at 120°C for 5 hours, and then injection molded using a Shibaura Machine Co., Ltd. EC50SXII injection molding machine at a cylinder temperature of 260°C, with stepped molds of 1mm / 2mm / 3mm thickness, and a mold temperature of 80°C to form a three-tiered plate (60mm x 100mm) with thicknesses of 1mm / 2mm / 3mm. The three-tiered plates with thicknesses of 1 mm / 2 mm / 3 mm obtained by the method described above were subjected to weathering treatment using a xenon weatherometer under the following weather resistance test conditions, and the hue before and after weathering treatment was measured at the cumulative irradiation dose in the wavelength range of 300-400 nm, and the color difference ΔE was determined. * They were compared. <<Weather Resistance Test Conditions>> [Table 3]
[0071] <Heat and moisture resistance> The pellets obtained above were dried at 120°C for 5 hours, and then injection molded using a NEX140III injection molding machine manufactured by Nissei Plastic Industrial Co., Ltd., with a cylinder temperature of 260°C, an ISO standard multipurpose test specimen (ISO 3167 type A) mold, and a mold temperature of 80°C to form an ISO standard multipurpose test specimen (ISO 3167 type A).

The obtained test specimens were left to stand for 125 hours, 250 hours, 375 hours, and 500 hours, respectively, in an atmosphere of 80°C and 95% relative humidity (moist heat treatment). Moisture heat resistance was evaluated by comparing the tensile fracture point strain before and after moist heat treatment.

[0078] In Tables 4-9 above, this means that NA was not measured. As is clear from the above results, molded articles with excellent water repellency, color development, and weather resistance were obtained from the resin composition of this embodiment. Furthermore, molded articles with excellent heat and humidity resistance were obtained from the resin composition of this embodiment. In contrast, when the polyorganosiloxane, which is the water repellent (D), did not have either aromatic or alkoxy groups (Comparative Examples 1 and 2), surprisingly, the color development was poor. In particular, when neither the specified polyorganosiloxane nor paraffin wax was included (Comparative Example 1), the weather resistance was also poor. Also, when the content of the water repellent (D) was high (Comparative Example 3), the weather resistance was poor. When the water repellent (D) was not included (D) (Comparative Example 4), both water repellency and weather resistance were poor. Furthermore, when the specified methacrylic copolymer (B) and acrylic copolymer (C) were not included (Comparative Example 5), the weather resistance was poor.
