Description
Polycarbonate resin composition and molded article thereof
[0001] The present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition and a molded article thereof.
[0002] Polycarbonate resins are known to have excellent properties such as transparency, impact resistance, and flame retardancy. Therefore, they are expected to be widely used in various fields, such as electrical and electronic equipment and automobiles. In recent years, from the perspective of carbon neutrality, there has been a demand for the development of polycarbonate resins made from plant-derived monomers. As such polycarbonate resins, polycarbonate resins produced using isosorbide, a plant-derived raw material, have been developed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] Patent Document 1 describes a polycarbonate resin that uses a compound produced from a plant-derived raw material and has excellent flexibility, hue, and thermal stability, and a polycarbonate resin composition that uses the polycarbonate resin and has excellent impact resistance and heat resistance, with the aim of providing a polycarbonate resin that is excellent in hue, thermal stability, and flexibility, and a polycarbonate resin composition that uses the polycarbonate resin as an impact modifier and has a high biomass content and excellent impact resistance and heat resistance.

[0107] <Method for producing polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A)> The polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) contained in the polycarbonate resin (S) can be produced, for example, by using a diol monomer (a1) and a polyorganosiloxane (a2), and optionally a diol monomer (a3), as raw material monomers.
[0108] <<Diol Monomer (a1)>> The diol monomer (a1) has a structure represented by the following general formula (1a): The diol monomer (a1) preferably contains a diol represented by the following general formula (11a), and more preferably consists of a diol represented by the following general formula (11a):
[0109]
[0110]
[0111] <<Diol Monomer (a3)>> When the polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) contains the structural unit (A-3), it further contains a diol monomer (a3) as a raw material monomer. The diol monomer (a3) is preferably at least one diol selected from structures represented by general formulas (3a) and (4a).
[0112]
[0113] In general formulas (3a) and (4a), R 11 and R 12 The diol monomer (a1) is not included in the diol monomer (a3).
[0114] <<Polyorganosiloxane (a2)>> The polyorganosiloxane (a2) preferably contains a polyorganosiloxane structure represented by the following general formula (21a).
[0115] In general formula (21a), R 1 ~R 8 , a, b, u, and z are as described above, and the preferred values are also the same, provided that z at the terminals is 1, that is, the hydrogen atoms at both terminals are bonded to oxygen atoms.
[0116] The polyorganosiloxane (a2) preferably contains a polyorganosiloxane represented by the following general formula (22a):
[0117] In general formula (22a), R 1 ~R 8 , a, b, u, u1, z, and z1 are as described above, and the preferred values are also the same. However, z and z1 at both ends are 1, that is, the hydrogen atoms at both ends are bonded to oxygen atoms.
[0118] The polyorganosiloxane (a2) preferably contains at least one of the polyorganosiloxanes represented by the following general formulas (23a) to (26a).
[0119]
[0120] In general formulas (23a) to (26a), R 1 ~R 8 , a, b, b1, u, u1, z, z1, and β are as described above, and the preferred values are also the same. However, in general formulas (23a) to (26a), z and z1 at the terminals are 1, that is, the hydrogen atom at the terminal is bonded to an oxygen atom.
[0121] The method for producing polyorganosiloxane (a2) is not particularly limited. For example, according to the method described in JP-A-11-217390, cyclotrisiloxane and disiloxane are reacted in the presence of an acidic catalyst to synthesize α,ω-dihydrogenorganopentasiloxane, and then, in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst, the α,ω-dihydrogenorganopentasiloxane is subjected to an addition reaction with an oligomer or polymer (e.g., polyalkylene ether, polyester, polycarbonate, etc.) whose one end is modified with an allyl group. According to the method described in Japanese Patent No. 2,662,310, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and tetramethyldisiloxane are reacted in the presence of sulfuric acid (an acidic catalyst), and the resulting α,ω-dihydrogenorganopolysiloxane is then subjected to an addition reaction with an oligomer or polymer having one end modified with an allyl group in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst, as described above. The α,ω-dihydrogenorganopolysiloxane can be used by adjusting the average chain length appropriately depending on the polymerization conditions, or a commercially available α,ω-dihydrogenorganopolysiloxane can be used. The oligomer having one end modified with an allyl group can be used by adjusting the average number of repeating units appropriately depending on the polymerization conditions, or a commercially available oligomer modified with an allyl group at one end. Among the oligomers modified with an allyl group at one end, polyethylene glycol modified with an allyl group at one end can be produced by referring to Japanese Patent No. 5,652,691, etc. Commercially available allyl-modified polyethylene glycols include Uniox PKA-5001, Uniox PKA-5002, Uniox PKA-5003, Uniox PKA-5004, and Uniox PKA-5005 manufactured by NOF Corporation.
[0122] The polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) can be produced by polymerizing a mixture of raw material monomers using an interfacial polymerization method or a melt polymerization method (transesterification method). When producing by interfacial polymerization, for example, the method described in JP 2014-80462 A can be adopted. The polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) can be produced by reacting the raw material monomers polyorganosiloxane (a2), diol monomer (a1), and a carbonate ester compound described below by a melt polymerization method, preferably in the presence of a basic catalyst. A diol monomer (a3) may also be used as a raw material monomer, if necessary. Furthermore, the polymerization reaction may be carried out by further adding a terminal capping agent. The melt polymerization method does not require a solvent such as methylene chloride, which is required in the interfacial polymerization method, and is therefore advantageous from an environmental and economic perspective. In addition, since the highly toxic phosgene used in the interfacial polymerization method is not used, it is also advantageous in terms of production. Therefore, it is preferable to produce the polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) by the melt polymerization method.

[0135] Specifically, the polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) can be produced by melt polymerization, for example, according to the following procedure. A mixture of raw material monomers containing a diol monomer (a1), a polyorganosiloxane (a2), and a carbonate ester compound is subjected to a transesterification reaction. The mixture of raw material monomers may optionally contain a diol monomer (a3). The amount of the carbonate ester compound relative to the total amount of the diol monomers (a1) and (a3) is preferably 0.9 to 1.2 times by mole, more preferably 0.95 to 1.05 times by mole. Under polymerization conditions, when the diol monomers (a1) and (a3) are more volatile than the carbonate ester compound, it is preferable that the ratio of the amount of the carbonate ester compound relative to the total amount of the diol monomers (a1) and (a3) be 1 or less. Under polymerization conditions, when the diol monomers (a1) and (a3) are less volatile than the carbonate ester compound, it is preferable that the ratio of the amount of the carbonate ester compound relative to the total amount of the diol monomers (a1) and (a3) be 1 or more. By adjusting the ratio of the amount of carbonate ester compound to the total amount of diol monomers (a1) and (a3) within the above range, the number average molecular weight and weight average molecular weight of the resulting polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) can be increased. When a terminal terminator is used in the above transesterification reaction, it is preferable that the amount of terminal terminator is in the range of 0.05 to 10 mol% relative to the total amount of diol monomer (a1), polyorganosiloxane (a2), and, if necessary, polyorganosiloxane (a3). This ensures that the hydroxyl group terminals of the resulting polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) are sufficiently blocked, resulting in a polycarbonate resin with excellent heat resistance and water resistance. The amount of terminal terminator relative to the total amount of diol monomer (a1), polyorganosiloxane (a2), and, if necessary, polyorganosiloxane (a3) is more preferably 1 to 6 mol%. The entire amount of the terminal terminator may be added to the reaction system in advance, or a portion may be added to the reaction system in advance, and the remainder may be added as the reaction proceeds.It is preferred that an antioxidant is simultaneously charged into a reactor together with the diol monomer (a1), the polyorganosiloxane (a2), and the carbonate ester compound, and the transesterification reaction is carried out in the presence of the antioxidant.

Furthermore, a method in which the temperature is gradually increased from 150 ° C to 250 ° C as the reaction progresses is preferred, and a method in which the temperature is gradually increased from 170 ° C to 250 ° C is more preferred. If the temperature of the transesterification reaction is 100 ° C or higher, the reaction rate is sufficiently fast, while if it is 250 ° C or lower, many side reactions do not occur, and problems such as discoloration of the resulting polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A) are unlikely to occur. The temperature in the final reactor is preferably 210 ° C or higher, more preferably 225 ° C or higher.
[0137] The reaction pressure is set according to the vapor pressure of the monomer used and the reaction temperature.

[0240] (2) Charpy Impact Strength The polycarbonate resin compositions produced in the following Examples 1 and 2, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, were injection molded using an injection molding machine (DSM Xplore: 10cc Injection Molding Machine) at a cylinder temperature of 250 ° C., a mold temperature of 120 ° C., and rectangular test pieces measuring 80 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 4 mm in thickness.

Flow rate: 0.6 mL / min Detector: RI Injection concentration: 0.1 w / v % Injection volume: 20 μL To prepare the calibration curve, the following standard polystyrene manufactured by Tosoh Corporation was used, and a cubic equation obtained by approximation using the least squares method was used. Standard polystyrene: F-450, F-288, F128, F-80, F-40, F-20, F-10, F-4, F-2, F-1, A-5000, A-2500, A-1000, A-500 The number average molecular weight (Mn) and weight average molecular weight (Mw) of pellets containing polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymers (PC-POS1 and PC-POS2) produced in the following Production Examples were measured as follows. 10 mg of the pellets were taken, and 10 mL of dimethylformamide containing 10 mM lithium bromide was added to completely dissolve the pellets. The resulting solution was filtered through a membrane filter, and GPC measurement was performed.
[0244] The differential molecular weight distribution curve can be obtained in the following manner. First, the time curve (elution curve) of the intensity distribution detected by the RI detector is used to obtain a molecular weight distribution curve versus the logarithmic value of the molecular weight (log(M)) using a calibration curve. Next, an integrated molecular weight distribution curve versus log(M) is obtained when the total area of the distribution curve is taken as 100%, and then this integrated molecular weight distribution curve is differentiated by log(M) to obtain a differential molecular weight distribution curve versus log(M). The number average molecular weight (Mn) and weight average molecular weight (Mw) are defined by the number of molecules (Ni) of the molecular weight (Mi) at each elution position on the obtained differential molecular weight distribution curve, using the following equation: Mn = Σ(Ni·Mi) 2 ) / Σ(Ni・Mi) Mw=Σ(Ni・Mi 2) / Σ(Ni·Mi) Note that a series of operations for obtaining the differential molecular weight distribution curve, number average molecular weight (Mn) and weight average molecular weight (Mw) can usually be performed using analysis software built into the GPC measurement device.
[0245] (6) Viscosity Average Molecular Weight (Mv) The viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) was calculated by measuring the viscosity of a methylene chloride solution at 20°C using an Ubbelohde viscometer, determining the intrinsic viscosity [η] from the viscosity, and then using the following formula (Schnell formula):
[0246] 2. Production of Polycarbonate-Polyorganosiloxane (PC-POS) Copolymer Production Example 1-1: Production of PC-POS1-1 Polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane PC-POS1-1 was produced by the following method, and the resulting pellets containing PC-POS1-1 were evaluated by the methods described above. The results are shown in Table 1. A 10 L stainless steel reactor equipped with a stirrer, a trap for capturing distilled phenol, and a pressure reducing device was charged with the diol monomer shown in Table 1, diphenyl carbonate (2,500.0 g / 11.7 mol) having the molar fraction shown in Table 1 when the total amount of the diol monomer is 100, and polyether-modified polyorganosiloxane PDMS-1 (KF-6123, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.) represented by the formula below in the amount shown in Table 1, which corresponds to the mass of the resulting PC-POS1-1 (theoretical value), and these were completely melted at a temperature of 100°C inside the reactor, and the inside of the reactor was purged with nitrogen.
[0247] Polymerization was initiated by adding 0.59 mL of 0.01 N sodium hydroxide, and the temperature in the reactor was raised to 190 ° C. over a period of about 50 to 100 minutes. The pressure in the reactor was reduced to 150 mmHg, and these conditions were maintained until the amount of phenol distilled reached 1.6 L. Next, the pressure in the reactor was reduced to 10 mmHg, and these conditions were maintained until 2.0 L of phenol was distilled. Next, the temperature in the reactor was raised to 220 ° C. over a period of about 15 minutes, and after maintaining this for about 10 minutes, the temperature in the reactor was raised to the final polymerization temperature shown in Table 1 over a period of about 10 minutes. Thereafter, the pressure in the reactor was reduced to 1 mmHg or less, and the reaction was continued until a predetermined stirring torque was reached. Nitrogen was then introduced to raise the pressure to atmospheric pressure, and Irganox 1010 and Irgafos 168 were each added so that their contents in the resulting polymer were 1,000 ppm, followed by stirring for 10 minutes or more. Thereafter, high-pressure nitrogen was introduced into the reactor, extruding resin strands from the bottom of the reactor. The resulting strands were cut with a pelletizer to obtain pellets containing PC-POS1-1, which is the polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer (A). The resulting pellets containing PC-POS1-1 were evaluated by the methods described above. The results are shown in Table 1. Note that, under Production Condition 1, the "mass (theoretical value) of the resulting PC-POS1-1" refers to the sum of the charged mass of all diol monomers, the charged mass of diphenyl carbonate, and the charged mass of PDMS-1, minus the mass (theoretical value) of phenol produced from the charged diphenyl carbonate.

The obtained pellets containing PC-POS 1-2 to 3-3 were evaluated by the methods described above. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 3. In the tables, "(A-31) to (A-34)" refer to (A-31), (A-32), (A-33), and (A-34).

[0252] Examples 1-1 to 3-7 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 3-4 As shown in Tables 4 to 8, PC-POS 1-1 to PC-POS 3-3 were mixed with a light stabilizer (ADEKA CORPORATION's "ADEKA STAB LA-77Y" and Chemipro Chemical Co., Ltd.'s "KEMISORB79"), glittering particles (Nippon Glass Co., Ltd.'s "MC5090PS" and Nippon Boshoku Kogyo Co., Ltd.'s "ASTROSHINE NJ-80"), colorants (LANXESS's "Macrolex Violet 3R" 10% by mass, LANXESS's "Macrolex Green 5B" 50% by mass, LANXESS's "Macrolex Blue RR" 10% by mass, and Arimoto Chemical Industry's "Diaresin Red" The resulting mixture was mixed with a black mixed colorant obtained by mixing 30% by mass of "A" or an elastomer ("KANE ACE M-590" manufactured by Kaneka Corporation), and the mixture was supplied to a small tabletop kneader (Micro 15 cc Twin Screw Compounder manufactured by DSM Xplore), and melt-kneaded at a barrel temperature of 250°C and a screw rotation speed of 50 rpm. The molten resin was then supplied to a tabletop injection molding machine (Micro 10 cc Injection Molding Machine manufactured by DSM Xplore), and molded at a cylinder temperature of 250°C and a mold temperature of 100°C. The Positive Charpy impact strength, deflection temperature under load, and scratch hardness were evaluated by the methods described above. However, since PC-POS 3-3 has a low glass transition point, in the comparative examples using this material, the barrel temperature was set to 210° C., the cylinder temperature was set to 210° C., and the mold temperature was set to 70° C. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 8.
