Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the resin composition and a molded article formed of the composition. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, there has been growing concern over environmental pollution caused by plastics, and material recycling of plastic products has been promoted. In material recycling of plastics, the recovered plastic waste is often melted and processed back into raw material pellets, or recycled into consumable materials such as pallets. In this case, if recycling is performed with different types of plastics mixed in the recovered plastic waste, poor mutual compatibility leads to the problem of deteriorated physical properties of the recycled plastic. For this reason, the current process involves sorting the recovered plastic waste by material before recycling it into products.

[0003] However, in the case of multilayer films, multilayer containers and the like formed by laminating different types of plastics, it is difficult to separate the plastics by material, so they cannot be recycled, and the current situation is that they are disposed of in landfills or by incineration.

[0004] Against this backdrop, the addition of compatibilizers is being considered as a means of recycling laminated composite resins. For example, studies have been conducted on the composite recycling of polyethylene (PE)-polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as PET) and polypropylene (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as PP)-ABS using ionomer resin as a compatibilizer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, studies have been conducted on the composite recycling of PE-PET, etc., using oxazoline-based compatibilizers (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In addition, studies have been conducted on the composite recycling of PE-ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as EVOH) (see, for example, Patent Document 3). According to these documents, it has been shown that the physical properties of composites such as PE, PET, and EVOH can be improved by adding a compatibilizer. However, the mechanical properties of the recycled resins obtained by these methods are not sufficient, so the development of technologies that can further improve mechanical properties is necessary. Moreover, problems such as increased viscosity, yellowing, and odor have resulted in poor recyclability and limitations on the uses of recycled resins. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0012] Ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as EAA) can be conveniently selected from commercially available products, and are sold by SK Global Chemical under the trade name Primacol and by Honeywell under the trade name AC.

[0013] An ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as EMAA) can be conveniently selected from commercial products, and is sold under the trade name Nucrel by Mitsui-Dow Polychemical Co., Ltd.

[0014] In the copolymer (a1), the acrylic acid content of the ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer or the methacrylic acid content of the ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer is 4 mol% or less. This improves compatibility with polyolefins in the thermoplastic resin (B).

[0015] In the copolymer (a2), the acrylic acid content of the ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer or the methacrylic acid content of the ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer is greater than 4 mol%, preferably 6 mol% or more, and more preferably 8 mol% or more. This improves compatibility with highly polar components such as polyester and polyamide (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as PA) in the thermoplastic resin (B).

[0016] It is preferable that the resin composition (A) further comprises an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer or an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer having an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid content different from those of (1) and (2) above.

[0017] In the resin composition (A), all the content differences between each acrylic acid or methacrylic acid are preferably 0.1 mol% or more, and more preferably 0.5 mol% or more. Thereby, when the resin composition (A) is blended as a modifier into the thermoplastic resin (B), the compatibility is further improved, and the impact resistance and elongation at break of the obtained composition are improved.

[0018] Further, the difference in acrylic acid or methacrylic acid content between the copolymer (a1) and the copolymer (a2) is preferably 1 mol% or more and 6.5 mol% or less, more preferably 1 mol% or more and 5.5 mol% or less. Thereby, when the resin composition (A) is blended as a modifier into the thermoplastic resin (B), the compatibility is further improved, and the impact resistance and elongation at break of the obtained composition are improved.

[0019] In the resin composition (A), the mixing ratio of the copolymer (a1) and the copolymer (a2) is preferably 50% by weight or more and 99% by weight or less of the copolymer (a1) and 1% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less of the copolymer (a2), where the total of (a1) and (a2) is 100% by weight, and more preferably 60% by weight or more and 90% by weight or less of the copolymer (a1) and 10% by weight or more and 40% by weight or less of the copolymer (a2), where the total of (a1) and (a2) is 100% by weight. This further improves the compatibility and impact resistance of the blended resin.

[0020] In the resin composition (A), crosslinking modification treatment of (a1) and (a2) may be performed. Examples of the crosslinking modification treatment include a method of adding a crosslinking agent to the resin composition (A) and performing melt kneading treatment, and a method by electron beam irradiation, and a crosslinked modified product treated by the melt kneading method is preferred. When the melt kneading method is used, it is preferable to include a crosslinking agent (a3). Examples of the crosslinking agent (a3) include epoxy compounds, organic peroxides, polyfunctional isocyanate compounds, aziridine group-containing compounds, carbodiimides, oxazolines, and amino resins. Among these, epoxy compounds and organic peroxides are preferably used from the viewpoint of reactivity.

For example, there is no particular limitation for an epoxy compound as long as it is a compound having at least one epoxy group. Examples of the epoxy compound include bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, bisphenol F diglycidyl ether, hydrogenated bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, hydrogenated bisphenol F diglycidyl ether, novolac glycidyl ether, and glycerin polyglycidyl ether.

[0023] These can be used individually or in combination of two or more types, and it is preferable to adjust the amount of crosslinking agent (a3) ​​added to 100 parts of resin composition (A) in the range of 0.001 to 10 parts.

[0024] One embodiment of the present invention is a modifier comprising a resin composition (A).

[0025] The thermoplastic resin composition (B) containing the modifier is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of polyolefin resins, acrylic acid resins, polyamide resins, polyester resins, polycarbonate resins, polystyrene resins, and styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, and more preferably at least two, due to their excellent compatibility with the modifier.

[0026] Examples of polyolefin resins include high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, polybutadiene, and polyisoprene.

[0027] Examples of acrylic acid-based resins include polyacrylic acid, methyl polyacrylate, ethyl polyacrylate, butyl polyacrylate, octyl polyacrylate, polymethacrylic acid, polymethyl polymethacrylate, polyethyl polymethacrylate, polybutyl polymethacrylate, and polyoctyl polymethacrylate.

[0028] Examples of polyamide resins include nylon 6, nylon 6,6, nylon 11, and nylon 12.

[0029] Examples of polyester resins include polyethylene terephthalate, glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate resin (PETG resin), polybutylene terephthalate, polylactic acid (including poly-L-lactic acid, poly-D-lactic acid, copolymers of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid, and stereocomplexes of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid), polybutylene succinate, poly(butylene succinate / adipate), polyethylene succinate, poly(butylene succinate / terephthalate), poly(butylene adipate / terephthalate), poly(hydroxybutyrate / hydroxyhexanoate), polyglycolic acid, poly-3-hydroxybutyrate, and polycaprolactone.

[0030] Among these, at least one thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, nylon 6, nylon 6,6, nylon 11, nylon 12, polyethylene terephthalate, glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate resin (PETG resin), polybutylene terephthalate, polylactic acid (including poly-L-lactic acid, poly-D-lactic acid, copolymer of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid, and stereocomplex of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid) and polybutylene succinate is preferred as the thermoplastic resin constituting the thermoplastic resin (B) because it shows significant improvement in impact resistance and elongation at break when blended with resin composition (A).

[0031] More preferably, the material comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene-propylene copolymer, and at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, nylon 6, nylon 6,6, nylon 11, nylon 12, polyethylene terephthalate, glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate resin, and polybutylene terephthalate. The thermoplastic resin (B) may be unused virgin resin or resin obtained by recovering used molded articles. That is, this includes forms in which all of one or more types of resin are unused resins, forms in which at least one of the one or more types of resin is a used resin, and forms in which all of the one or more types of resin are used resins.

[0032] Thermoplastic resin (B) may contain multiple types of resin when using resin obtained from recovered used molded products. In this case, it may contain organic impurities such as PVC resin, wax, adhesive, plasticizer, and antioxidant. On the other hand, it may also contain inorganic impurities such as fillers.

[0033] The mixing ratio of resin composition (A) and thermoplastic resin (B) is preferably such that thermoplastic resin (B) is 50% to 99% by weight and resin composition (A) is 1% to 50% by weight. A resin composition obtained by including 99% or less of thermoplastic resin (B) will have excellent impact resistance. On the other hand, a resin composition obtained by including 50% or more of thermoplastic resin (B) will have excellent rigidity. More preferably, the mixture contains 60% to 95% by weight of thermoplastic resin (B) and 5% to 40% by weight of resin composition (A), and even more preferably, 70% to 95% by weight of thermoplastic resin (B) and 5% to 30% by weight of resin composition (A).

[0034] When a modifier containing a resin composition (A) is incorporated into a thermoplastic resin (B), it can be manufactured by a manufacturing method that includes a kneading step of kneading the modifier and the thermoplastic resin (B).

[0035] The mixing method includes simultaneously mixing the modifier and the various materials constituting the thermoplastic resin (B) in a mixing device, and pre-mixing only the modifier, then blending the modified modifier with the thermoplastic resin (B) and further mixing. The latter method is preferable because it allows the modifier to mix more uniformly, resulting in a stable acquisition of the desired physical properties.

[0036] As long as the mixing equipment can uniformly disperse each component, there are no particular restrictions, and it can be manufactured using commonly used resin mixing equipment. Examples of mixing equipment include single-screw extruders, twin-screw extruders, multi-screw extruders, Banbury mixers, pressure kneaders, rotary rolls, and internal mixers. Among these, twin-screw extruders are more preferred due to their superior dispersibility and continuous production capabilities.

[0037] When kneading with a twin-screw extruder, the screw rotation speed is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to knead at 50 rpm to 3000 rpm, and more preferably at 300 rpm to 3000 rpm. A screw rotation speed of 50 rpm or higher is preferable because it improves the dispersibility of each mixed component and results in a resin with excellent physical properties. A screw rotation speed of 3000 rpm or lower is also preferable because it prevents deterioration of the resin due to excessive shear heat, resulting in a resin with excellent physical properties.

[0038] When an extruder is used in the kneading process, the resin composition kneaded in the extruder, preferably the resin composition kneaded under the high-speed shearing conditions of 50 rpm to 3000 rpm, can be used as the raw material. Alternatively, the molded body obtained by extruding it directly in the extruder can be used as the molded product.

[0039] The mixing temperature is preferably around the melting point of the component with the lowest melting point among the thermoplastic resins (B), or the glass transition temperature if it is an amorphous resin, or around 300°C.

[0040] The resin composition (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B) may contain antistatic agents, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, nucleating agents, lubricants, antioxidants, antiblocking agents, flow improvers, mold release agents, flame retardants, colorants, inorganic neutralizing agents, hydrochloric acid absorbers, filler conductive agents, chain length extenders, hydrolysis inhibitors, etc., to the extent that they do not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0041] If the above resin composition contains components other than resin composition (A) and thermoplastic resin (B), the content of these components can be expressed as the amount added relative to 100 parts by weight of the sum of (A) and (B). In other words, the notation "~by weight%" for (A) and (B) above refers to the ratio of (A) and (B), and the ratios of other components can be defined separately.

[0042] Furthermore, the above resin composition can be used in any form, such as pellets or powder.

[0043] A molded article according to one aspect of the present invention is obtained by molding the above-mentioned resin composition. The molding method for the resin composition is arbitrary and includes, for example, shape extrusion, film, sheet, blow molding, injection molding, foaming, extrusion coating, and rotational molding. The molded article can be used for various applications such as automotive parts, housings for electrical and electronic components, building materials, civil engineering components, agricultural materials, containers, packaging materials, adhesives, and daily necessities.
