More specifically, the invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition that includes a granular type polycarbonate having an average particle size of 0.1 to 5 mm and a standard deviation of 0.8 to 1.2, which achieves high flame retardancy at a thin thickness while having excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance, a method for manufacturing the same, and a molded article including the same. Background Technology
[0003] Polycarbonate (hereinafter referred to as 'PC') resin is transparent and has excellent flame retardancy, heat resistance, and impact strength, so it is widely used as a resin for various industries, including electrical and electronic components.
[0004] Recently, with the growth of the smart home market and the increasing use of electronic devices, the applications of high-heat-resistant flame-retardant polycarbonate resins are expanding beyond components such as charging parts and adapters to include housings for home electronic devices. Furthermore, as electrical and electronic products become thinner, there is an increasing demand for high flame retardancy at thin thicknesses, as well as mechanical properties such as impact resistance and tensile strength to prevent breakage when dropped during daily use.
[0005] Conventionally, to solve this problem, methods have been known to i) incorporate a metal-based flame retardant into polycarbonate, ii) combine an impact modifier such as an acrylic or styrene-based one with a metal salt-based flame retardant, or iii) combine an impact modifier with a phosphorus-based flame retardant.
[0006] However, it was difficult to sufficiently secure the required physical properties simultaneously by only incorporating metal-based flame retardants, and when combining impact modifiers and metal salt-based flame retardants, it was difficult to secure flame retardancy, and when combining impact modifiers and phosphate-based flame retardants, there was a problem that an excessive amount of flame retardant had to be incorporated to secure sufficient flame retardancy, and there was a problem that high flame retardancy was difficult to achieve in thin thicknesses and heat resistance or mechanical strength was reduced.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need to develop polycarbonate resin compositions with excellent flame retardancy, mechanical properties, and heat resistance at thin thicknesses. Prior art literature

[0026] The polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0027] The inventors confirmed that in a polycarbonate resin composition containing a conventional flame retardant, when the polycarbonate resin is changed to a granular type polycarbonate and a combination of a phosphate ester-based flame retardant and a phosphazene-based flame retardant is included as a flame retardant system, high flame retardancy is secured at a thin thickness of 0.5 mm due to the synergistic effect of these combinations, while also having excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance. Based on this, they further devoted themselves to research and completed the present invention.
[0029] The polycarbonate resin composition according to the present description is described in detail as follows.
[0031] The polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention is characterized by comprising (A) 51 to 80 weight% of a polycarbonate resin having an average particle size of 0.1 to 5 mm and a standard deviation of 0.8 to 1.2; (B) 5 to 37 weight% of a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer; (C) 0.6 to 10 weight% of an impact modifier; and (D) a phosphate ester-based flame retardant and (E) a total of 6 to 17 weight% of a phosphazene-based flame retardant; and in this case, high flame retardancy is achieved at a thin thickness of 0.5 mm, while excellent mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength, as well as heat resistance, are achieved.
[0033] (A) Polycarbonate resin having an average particle size of 0.1 to 2 mm
[0034] The above polycarbonate resin (A), having an average particle size of 0.1 to 5 mm and a standard deviation of 0.8 to 1.2, may be, for example, 51 to 80 weight%, preferably 51 to 70 weight%, more preferably 53 to 65 weight%, and even more preferably 58 to 63 weight% with respect to the total weight of the above components (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E), and within this range, there is an effect of excellent mechanical properties and balance of properties.
[0036] The above polycarbonate resin may, for example, have an average particle size of 0.1 to 5 mm with a standard deviation of 0.8 to 1.2, preferably an average particle size of 0.3 to 4 mm with a standard deviation of 0.85 to 1.15, more preferably an average particle size of 0.5 to 3 mm with a standard deviation of 0.9 to 1.1, and even more preferably an average particle size of 0.7 to 2.5 mm with a standard deviation of 0.95 to 1. Within this range, it is uniformly mixed with a powder-type flame retardant to have excellent flame retardancy, mechanical properties, and heat resistance. Furthermore, when the compositions of (A) to (E) are mixed and fed into the extruder hopper, layer separation does not occur, and the resin is uniformly mixed, which has the advantage of not causing a variation in physical properties within a single batch.
[0037] In this description, the average particle size and its standard deviation can be measured by selecting 10 granule particles from each of 10 randomly selected zones using optical microscope images, measuring the length of the major axis of the selected granule particles, and calculating the average value and its standard deviation.
[0039] The above polycarbonate resin has, for example, a bulk density of 1 to 1.12 g / cm³ as measured according to ASTM D1895. 3 , preferably 1.05 to 1.1 g / cm³ 3 , more preferably 1.07 to 1.09 g / cm³ 3 It can be, and within this range, it is uniformly mixed with a powder-type flame retardant, offering the advantage of excellent flame retardancy, mechanical properties, and heat resistance.
[0041] The above (A) polycarbonate resin may preferably be of the granule type, and the granule-type polycarbonate resin has a variety of particle sizes and a lower bulk density compared to the pellet-type polycarbonate resin, so that layer separation does not occur when mixed with a powder-type flame retardant, which has the advantage of improving flame retardancy, mechanical properties, and heat resistance.
[0042] The above pellet-type polycarbonate resin has an average particle size of 3 to 6 mm and a standard deviation of 0.03 to 0.1, having a more uniform particle size compared to the above granule-type polycarbonate resin, and has a bulk density of 1.18 g / cm³ as measured according to ASTM D1895. 3 Above, it is larger than granular type polycarbonate resin.
[0044] In this description, the granular-type polycarbonate resin undergoes a series of purification processes to remove impurities present in the polymer solution after the polycarbonate polymerization process. The polycarbonate polymer, having undergone the purification process, takes on a granular shape while undergoing a solvent removal process. This is then thermally extruded to form a pellet type.
[0045] As another example, granular polycarbonate resins can be manufactured by interfacial condensation polymerization. Polycarbonate resins are generally manufactured in three stages: raw material preparation and polymerization, polymer washing and solvent recovery, and post-treatment. However, granular polycarbonate is manufactured without undergoing a post-treatment process. Specifically, bisphenolate, in which bisphenol A is dissolved in an aqueous NaOH solution with a concentration of 5 to 10 wt%, is mixed with methylene chlorite (MDC) as a solvent and phosgene, and then a condensation polymerization reaction is carried out at the interface between the aqueous solution and the organic solvent. After the reaction, granular polycarbonate can be manufactured by neutralizing the resin in an emulsion state, washing, centrifuging, and / or adding a precipitating agent.

[0245] As shown in Tables 1 and 2 above, the polycarbonate resin compositions of the present invention (Examples 1 to 10) demonstrated excellent effects in impact strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and heat resistance, while achieving high flame retardancy of V-0 grade or higher at a thin thickness of 0.5 mm compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 9.
[0246] Specifically, Examples 1 to 10, which include granular type polycarbonate resin, showed excellent flame retardancy, impact strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and heat resistance when the components (A) to (E) blended during the mixing and extrusion steps were fed into the extruder hopper, particularly without the phenomenon of separation between the polycarbonate and the flame retardant.
[0247] As a notable result, it was confirmed that the impact strength was further improved in Examples 3 to 10, in which (E) a phosphazene-based flame retardant was included in a larger amount than (D) a phosphate ester-based flame retardant.
[0248] On the other hand, Comparative Example 1, which included a pellet-type polycarbonate resin, showed a layer separation phenomenon when the components (A) to (E) blended during the mixing and extrusion steps were fed into the extruder hopper, causing the flame retardancy to drop to V-2, and Comparative Example 2, which used phosphazene flame retardant alone, also showed a flame retardancy of only V-1.
[0249] In addition, (D) Comparative Example 3, which used a phosphate ester-based flame retardant alone, had poor heat distortion temperature and impact strength, and (B) Comparative Example 4, which used a small amount of polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer, had reduced flame retardancy.
[0250] In addition, Comparative Example 5, which contains a small amount of (A-1) polycarbonate resin and an excess amount of (B) polycarbonate-polysiloxane carbonate, showed reduced flame retardancy and flexural strength.
[0251] In addition, Comparative Example 6, in which (C) an impact reinforcing agent was used in a small amount, had reduced impact strength, and Comparative Example 7, in which (C) an impact reinforcing agent was used in an excessive amount, had reduced flame retardancy.
[0252] In addition, Comparative Example 8, in which the total amount of (D) phosphate ester-based flame retardant and (E) phosphazene-based flame retardant was small, showed reduced flame retardancy, while Comparative Example 9, in which the amount was excessive, showed lower heat distortion temperature and impact strength.
[0254] [Additional Examples]
[0255] In the step of manufacturing polycarbonate resin composition pellets by melting and kneading the mixture with the composition and content described in Example 3 of Table 1 and Comparative Example 1 of Table 2, and then extruding it in a twin-screw extruder under conditions of 220–290°C, the pellets produced at the feed rate of one batch of the extruder at the initial (30% point), middle (50% point), and final (80% point) stages, respectively, were injected into an injection molding machine to produce specimens for measuring physical properties. After leaving the specimens for at least 48 hours, the physical properties were measured in the same manner as described above. This is shown in Table 4 below.
[0257] division Example 3 Comparative Example 1 beginning Mid-term last period beginning Mid-term last period HDT(°C) 94 95 95 92 93 98 Tensile strength (kgf / cm²) 2 ) 630 630 630 600 610 650 Flexural strength (kgf / cm²) 2 ) 1000 1010 1010 960 980 1040 Impact strength (kgf·cm / cm) 58 60 61 36 38 68 Flame retardancy (0.5 mm) V-0 V-0 V-0 V-1 V-2 V-2 Flow index (g / 10min) 20 21 21 32 31 14
[0258] As shown in Table 4 above, Example 3, which contains a polycarbonate resin in granular form, was found to have excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, and flame retardancy without change during the initial, middle, and final stages in one batch.
[0259] On the other hand, Comparative Example 1, which contained a pellet-type polycarbonate resin, showed severe deviations in mechanical properties, heat resistance, and flame retardancy in the initial, middle, and final stages of one batch. This was attributed to the layer separation phenomenon when the pellet-type polycarbonate resin and flame retardant were fed into the hopper during the mixing and extrusion stages.
[0260] For reference, the physical property values listed in Example 3 of Table 1 and Comparative Example 1 of Table 2 are the average values of the initial, middle, and final stages, and for the Examples and Comparative Examples excluding Comparative Example 1, since there is no difference in physical properties between the initial, middle, and final stages of the extrusion step using granular polycarbonate resin, the values are measured at any point.
