Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to an aromatic polycarbonate resin composition and its molded articles, which exhibit excellent drawdown properties and Charpy impact strength. [Background technology]

[0002] Linear aromatic polycarbonate resins, manufactured from bisphenol A and the like, are excellent in transparency, heat resistance, and mechanical properties, and are used in a wide range of applications. However, when these linear aromatic polycarbonate resins are used in applications such as extrusion molding, blow molding, injection molding, and vacuum molding, the low melt tension can result in uneven thickness or drawdown in the molded product, making it difficult to obtain a satisfactory product. As a solution to this problem, a method has been disclosed in which branched aromatic polycarbonate resins obtained by adding a branching agent having three or more functional groups during polymerization are used (Patent Document 1). However, the branched aromatic polycarbonate resin obtained by this method had the drawback of reduced impact strength. Furthermore, with linear aromatic polycarbonates, there was a problem in that increasing the molecular weight to improve drawdown properties resulted in a decrease in Charpy impact strength.

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an aromatic polycarbonate resin composition and a molded article thereof that exhibits excellent drawdown properties and excellent Charpy impact strength. [Means for solving the problem]

(Composition 5) A molded article formed from an aromatic polycarbonate resin composition as described in any of the compositions 1 to 4. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The aromatic polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention exhibits excellent drawdown properties and Charpy impact strength, allowing it to be molded into products using conventionally known methods such as extrusion molding, blow molding, injection molding, and vacuum molding. It is widely useful in various fields, including housing equipment, building materials, consumer goods, infrastructure equipment, automobiles, office automation / entertainment equipment, and other applications. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The present invention will be described in detail below. <Linear aromatic polycarbonate resin (A)> The linear aromatic polycarbonate resin used in this invention is an aromatic polycarbonate resin obtained by reacting a divalent phenol with a carbonate precursor.

[0009] Specific examples of the dihydric phenol used herein include, for example, bis(hydroxyaryl)alkanes such as 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (commonly known as bisphenol A), bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)butane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)octane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)phenylmethane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxy-3-tert-butylphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-bromophenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dibromophenyl)propane, and 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dichlorophenyl)propane; bis(hydroxyphenyl)cycloalkanes such as 1,1-bis(hydroxyphenyl)cyclopentane and 1,1-bis(hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane; dihydroxyaryl ethers such as 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl ether and 4,4'-dihydroxy-3,3'-dimethyldiphenyl ether; dihydroxydiaryl sulfides such as 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfide and 4,4'-dihydroxy-3,3'-dimethyldiphenyl sulfide; dihydroxydiaryl sulfoxides such as 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfoxide and 4,4'-dihydroxy-3,3'-dimethyldiphenyl sulfoxide; and dihydroxydiaryl sulfones such as 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone and 4,4'-dihydroxy-3,3'-dimethyldiphenyl sulfone.

[0010] These dihydric phenols may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof. Among the aforementioned dihydric phenols, it is preferable that 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (bisphenol A) is the main dihydric phenol component, and it is particularly preferable that bisphenol A accounts for 70 mol% or more, more preferably 80 mol% or more, of the total dihydric phenol components. Most preferable is a linear aromatic polycarbonate resin in which the dihydric phenol component is substantially bisphenol A.

[0011] A brief description is given of the basic means for producing a linear aromatic polycarbonate resin. In the solution method using phosgene as a carbonate precursor, a reaction between a dihydric phenol component and phosgene is generally carried out in the presence of an acid binder and an organic solvent. As the acid binder, for example, an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or an amine compound such as pyridine is used. As the organic solvent, for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride or chlorobenzene is used. To promote the reaction, a catalyst such as a tertiary amine or a quaternary ammonium salt can be used, and it is preferable to use an end terminator such as phenol or an alkyl-substituted phenol such as p-tert-butylphenol as a molecular weight modifier. The reaction temperature is generally 0 to 40°C, the reaction time is several minutes to 5 hours, and it is preferable to maintain the pH during the reaction at 10 or higher.

[0012] The transesterification method (melting method) using a carbonic acid diester as a carbonate precursor is a method in which a predetermined ratio of a dihydric phenol component and a carbonic acid diester are stirred while heating in the presence of an inert gas, and the produced alcohol or phenols are distilled off. The reaction temperature varies depending on the boiling point of the produced alcohol or phenols and the like, but is generally in the range of 120 to 300°C. The reaction is carried out while reducing the pressure from the initial stage to distill off the produced alcohol or phenols. A common transesterification catalyst can be used to promote the reaction. Examples of the carbonic acid diester used in this transesterification reaction include diphenyl carbonate, dinaphthyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dibutyl carbonate and the like, and diphenyl carbonate is particularly preferable.

[0013] The molecular weight of the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin used in the present invention, expressed as a viscosity-average molecular weight, is 20,000 to 40,000, preferably 23,000 to 39,000, more preferably 25,000 to 38,500, still more preferably 28,000 to 38,000, and particularly preferably 35,000 to 37,500. When the molecular weight is within the above range, an aromatic polycarbonate resin composition obtained by blending the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin with a branched aromatic polycarbonate resin is excellent in drawdown properties and Charpy impact strength.

[0014] The viscosity-average molecular weight of the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin is determined by first obtaining the specific viscosity (η SP ) calculated by the following formula using an Ostwald viscometer from a solution prepared by dissolving 0.7 g of the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin material in 100 mL of methylene chloride at 20°C, specific viscosity (η SP )=(t-t0) / t0 [t0 is the falling time in seconds of methylene chloride, and t is the falling time in seconds of the sample solution] The viscosity-average molecular weight Mv is calculated from the obtained specific viscosity (η SP ) according to the following mathematical formula. η SP / c=[η]+0.45×[η] 2 c (where [η] is the intrinsic viscosity) [η]=1.23×10 -4 Mv 0.83 c=0.7

[0015] <Branched aromatic polycarbonate resin (B)> The branched aromatic polycarbonate resin used in the present invention is an aromatic polycarbonate resin obtained by reacting a dihydric phenol, a branching agent, and a carbonate precursor. Specific examples of the dihydric phenol used herein include the same dihydric phenols as those used in the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin described above. The basic method for producing the branched aromatic polycarbonate resin is the same as the method for producing the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin described above, except that a branching agent is used.

[0016] (Branching agent) The branching agent used in the present invention is preferably 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane. The branching agent can be used as a solid and / or molten material, or as a solid and / or molten material dissolved in an alkaline aqueous solution or organic solvent.

The branching agent content refers to the number of moles of branching agent relative to the total number of moles of divalent phenolic compounds (expressed as moles of branching agent / total number of moles of divalent phenolic compounds × 100 mol%). A branching agent content within the above range is preferable because it is less likely to cause drawdown, the branched aromatic polycarbonate resin is less likely to crosslink, no gel is generated, satisfactory branching characteristics are obtained, and it also exhibits excellent impact resistance and transparency.

[0018] The molecular weight of the branched aromatic polycarbonate resin used in the present invention is 15,000 to 30,000, expressed as viscosity-average molecular weight, preferably 17,000 to 29,000, more preferably 18,000 to 28,000, even more preferably 19,000 to 27,000, and particularly preferably 20,000 to 26,000. Within this range, the aromatic polycarbonate resin composition blended with the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin exhibits excellent drawdown properties and Charpy impact strength.

[0019] The viscosity-average molecular weight of branched aromatic polycarbonate resin is measured using the same method as described above for measuring the viscosity-average molecular weight of linear aromatic polycarbonate resin.

[0020] <Aromatic polycarbonate resin composition> The aromatic polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention is an aromatic polycarbonate resin composition obtained by blending 10 to 90 parts by weight of the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin (A) and 90 to 10 parts by weight of the branched aromatic polycarbonate resin (B) described above. The parts by weight of the linear aromatic polycarbonate resin (A) and the branched aromatic polycarbonate resin (B) refer to parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of aromatic polycarbonate resin (A) and branched aromatic polycarbonate resin (B).

[0021] The blend ratio of linear aromatic polycarbonate resin (A) to branched aromatic polycarbonate resin (B) is preferably aromatic polycarbonate resin (A) / branched aromatic polycarbonate resin (B) = 15~85 / 85~15 (parts by weight), more preferably 20~80 / 80~20 (parts by weight), and even more preferably 25~75 / 75~25 (parts by weight). Aromatic polycarbonate resin compositions within the above range exhibit excellent drawdown properties and Charpy impact strength.
