Description

Polycarbonate resin composition and molded article manufactured therefrom

[0001] The present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition and a molded article manufactured therefrom. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition having excellent scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, colorability, etc., and a molded article manufactured therefrom.

[0002]

[0003] Resin compositions containing polycarbonate resins exhibit excellent impact resistance, toughness, transparency, thermal stability, self-extinguishing properties, and dimensional stability, making them suitable for applications in electrical / electronic products, automotive components, lenses, and glass replacement materials. However, conventional polycarbonate resins have issues such as significantly lower scratch resistance compared to glass when applied to products requiring transparency.

[0004] To solve these problems, research has been conducted to improve scratch resistance by applying a silicone-based surface modifier. However, in this case, the compatibility between the polycarbonate resin and the silicone-based surface modifier is not good, so there is a concern that mechanical properties and colorability may deteriorate.

[0005] In addition, in order to use a polycarbonate resin composition in an unpainted state, it is necessary to secure a certain level of scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, etc., and colorability that can implement a desired color with the resin composition itself without painting is required.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to develop a polycarbonate resin composition that has excellent scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, and colorability (especially, deep black color).

[0039]

[0040] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

[0041] A polycarbonate resin composition according to the present invention comprises (A) a polycarbonate resin; (B) a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin; (C) a phosphazene compound; (D) a siloxane-modified polyester; (E) a syndiotactic polystyrene; and (F) a benzotriazole-based UV stabilizer.

[0042] In this specification, “a to b” indicating a numerical range is defined as “≥a and ≤b”.

[0043]

[0044] (A) Polycarbonate resin

[0045] According to one specific example of the present invention, a polycarbonate resin can be applied together with a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin, a phosphazene compound, a siloxane-modified polyester, syndiotactic polystyrene, and a benzotriazole-based UV stabilizer to improve the scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, colorability, etc. of a polycarbonate resin composition, and a polycarbonate resin used in a typical thermoplastic resin composition can be used. For example, an aromatic polycarbonate resin produced by reacting a diphenol (aromatic diol compound) with a precursor such as phosgene, halogen formate, or carbonic diester can be used.

[0046] In specific examples, the diphenols may include, but are not limited to, 4,4'-biphenol, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylbutane, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane, 2,2-bis(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, etc. For example, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane or 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane can be used, and specifically, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, also called bisphenol-A, can be used.

[0047] In a specific example, the polycarbonate resin may be one having a branched chain, and for example, a branched polycarbonate resin may be used that is prepared by adding about 0.05 to about 2 mol% of a trivalent or higher polyfunctional compound, specifically, a compound having a trivalent or higher phenol group, to the total diphenols used in the polymerization.

[0048] In specific examples, the polycarbonate resin may be used in the form of a homopolycarbonate resin, a copolycarbonate resin, or a blend thereof. In addition, the polycarbonate resin may be partially or entirely replaced with an aromatic polyester-carbonate resin obtained by polymerization in the presence of an ester precursor, such as a difunctional carboxylic acid.

[0049] In a specific example, the polycarbonate resin may have a weight average molecular weight (Mw) measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) of about 10,000 to about 100,000 g / mol, for example, about 10,000 to about 50,000 g / mol. Within this range, the polycarbonate resin composition may have excellent impact resistance, fluidity (processability), etc.

[0050] In a specific example, the polycarbonate resin may have a melt flow index (MI) of about 5 to about 50 g / 10 min, for example, about 5 to about 30 g / 10 min, measured under conditions of 300° C. and 1.2 kg according to ASTM D1238. Within this range, the polycarbonate resin composition may have excellent impact resistance, fluidity (processability), etc. In addition, the polycarbonate resin may be a mixture of two or more polycarbonate resins having different melt flow indices.

[0051] In a specific example, the polycarbonate resin may be included in an amount of about 45 to about 85 wt%, for example, about 50 to about 80 wt%, of the total 100 wt% of the base resin including the polycarbonate resin and the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin. When the content of the polycarbonate resin is less than about 45 wt%, of the 100 wt% of the base resin, there is a concern that the weather resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced, and when it exceeds about 85 wt%, there is a concern that the impact resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced.

[0052]

[0053] (B) Polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin

[0054] A polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin according to one specific example of the present invention can be applied together with a polycarbonate resin, a phosphazene compound, a siloxane-modified polyester, syndiotactic polystyrene, and a benzotriazole-based UV stabilizer to improve scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, colorability, etc. of a polycarbonate resin composition, and a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin used in a typical thermoplastic resin composition can be used.

[0055] In a specific example, the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin comprises a polysiloxane block and a polycarbonate block. The polycarbonate block may comprise a structural unit derived from a conventional polycarbonate resin, and the polysiloxane block may comprise a structural unit represented by the following chemical formula 1.

[0056] [Chemical Formula 1]

[0057]

[0058] In the above chemical formula 1, R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C20 alkyl group, a C2 to C20 alkenyl group, a C2 to C20 alkynyl group, a C1 to C20 alkoxy group, a C3 to C30 cycloalkyl group, a C3 to C30 cycloalkenyl group, a C3 to C30 cycloalkynyl group, a C6 to C30 aryl group, a C6 to C30 aryloxy group, or NRR' (wherein, R and R' are each independently a hydrogen atom or a C1 to C20 alkyl group).

[0059] In a specific example, the average polymerization degree of the polysiloxane block may be 30 to 50. If the average polymerization degree of the polysiloxane block is less than 30, there is a concern that the chemical resistance of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds 50, there is a concern that the transparency of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced.

[0060] In a specific example, the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin can be produced according to a conventional method for producing a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer. For example, it can be produced by reacting a polysiloxane including a structural unit represented by the above chemical formula 1 and a diphenol (aromatic diol compound) with a precursor such as phosgene, halogen formate, or carbonic diester. The reaction can be performed by a conventional polymerization method such as interfacial polymerization or melt polymerization, and for example, it can be performed by an interfacial polymerization method using phosgene.

[0061] In a specific example, the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin may include, but is not limited to, about 1 to about 50 wt%, for example, about 1 to about 40 wt%, specifically about 1 to about 30 wt%, of a polysiloxane block and about 50 to about 99 wt%, for example, about 60 to about 99 wt%, specifically about 70 to about 99 wt%, of a polycarbonate block. Within this range, the impact resistance, moldability, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be excellent.

[0062] In a specific example, the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin may have a weight average molecular weight (Mw) measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) of about 10,000 to about 100,000 g / mol, for example, about 10,000 to about 50,000 g / mol, specifically about 15,000 to about 30,000 g / mol. Within this range, the polycarbonate resin composition may have excellent impact resistance, moldability, and the like.

[0063] In a specific example, the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin may be included in an amount of about 15 to about 55 wt%, for example, about 20 to about 50 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the total base resin including the polycarbonate resin and the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin. When the content of the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin is less than about 15 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the base resin, there is a concern that the impact resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced, and when it exceeds about 55 wt%, there is a concern that the weather resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced.

[0064]

[0065] (C) Phosphazene compound

[0066] A phosphazene compound according to one specific example of the present invention can be applied together with a polycarbonate resin, a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin, a siloxane-modified polyester, a syndiotactic polystyrene, and a benzotriazole-based UV stabilizer, etc., to improve the scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, colorability, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition. For example, a cyclic phosphazene can be used.

[0067] In a specific example, the phosphazene compound may be a compound represented by the following chemical formula 2.

[0068] [Chemical Formula 2]

[0069]

[0070] In the above chemical formula 2, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group having 2 to 7 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryloxy group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, a heteroaryl group having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxycarbonylalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonylalkyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, an amino group or a hydroxy group.

[0071] Here, the above “substitution” means that a hydrogen atom is replaced with a substituent such as an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a cyano group, a hydroxy group, an amino group, an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a heterocycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a heteroaryl group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, or a combination thereof.

[0072] In addition, the substituents including the above "alkyl", "alkoxy" and other "alkyl" moieties include both straight-chain and branched forms, "alkenyl" includes both straight-chain and branched forms having 2 to 8 carbon atoms and containing at least one double bond, and the above "cycloalkyl" includes all saturated monocyclic or saturated bicyclic ring structures having 3 to 20 carbon atoms. The above "aryl" is an organic radical derived from an aromatic hydrocarbon by removal of one hydrogen atom, and includes a single or fused ring system, suitably containing 4 to 7, preferably 5 or 6 ring atoms in each ring. Specifically, examples thereof include, but are not limited to, phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, tolyl, etc.

[0073] The above "heterocycloalkyl" means a cycloalkyl group having 1 to 3 heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S as saturated cyclic hydrocarbon skeletal atoms, and the remaining saturated monocyclic or bicyclic ring skeletal atoms are carbon, and is selected from pyrrolidinyl, azetidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, oxazolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, thiazolidinyl, hydantoinyl, valerolactamyl, oxiranyl, oxetanyl, dioxolanyl, dioxanyl, oxathiolanyl, oxathianyl, dithianyl, dihydrofuranyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, dihydropyranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydropyridinyl, tetrahydropyrimidinyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, tetrahydrothiopyranyl, diazepanyl, Examples include azepanil.

[0074] The above "heteroaryl" refers to an aryl group having 1 to 3 heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S as aromatic ring skeletal atoms, and the remaining aromatic ring skeletal atoms are carbon, and the heteroaryl group includes a divalent aryl group in which the heteroatom in the ring is oxidized or quaternized to form, for example, an N-oxide or a quaternary salt. Specifically, examples thereof include, but are not limited to, furyl, thiophenyl, pyrrolyl, pyranyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, thiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, isothiazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, triazinyl, tetrazinyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, furazanyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, and the like.

[0075] In a specific example, the phosphazene compound may be included in an amount of about 1.5 to about 4 parts by weight, for example, about 1.5 to about 3 parts by weight, relative to about 100 parts by weight of the base resin. If the content of the phosphazene compound is less than about 1.5 parts by weight relative to about 100 parts by weight of the base resin, there is a concern that the flame retardancy, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 4 parts by weight, there is a concern that the impact resistance, heat resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced.

[0076]

[0077] (D) Siloxane modified polyester

[0078] According to one specific example of the present invention, a siloxane-modified polyester can be applied together with a polycarbonate resin, a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin, a phosphazene compound, a syndiotactic polystyrene, and a benzotriazole-based UV stabilizer, thereby improving the scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, colorability, etc. of a polycarbonate resin composition.

[0079] In a specific example, the siloxane-modified polyester may be a compound represented by the following chemical formula 3.

[0080] [Chemical Formula 3]

[0081]

[0082] In the above chemical formula 3, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R5 is an alkyl group or phenyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R6 is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group or a methyl group, and l, m and n are each independently an integer of 1 or more.

[0083] In the above chemical formula 3, it is shown that all siloxane structural units are located in the center of the polymer, and ester structural units are located at both ends, but this does not specify the positions of the structural units. That is, the siloxane-modified polyester according to one specific example of the present invention may be a random copolymer as well as a block copolymer. Therefore, in the above chemical formula 3, the ester structural units and the siloxane structural units are intended to indicate that l + m and n may be included in the polymer, respectively, and each structural unit is not limited to being present at a specific position in a block form.

[0084] In a specific example, R1 and R2 of the above chemical formula 3 are each -(CH2)3-, R3 and R4 are each -(CH2)5-, R5 is a methyl group, and l, m and n may be integers of 1 or more satisfying l + m : n = 15 to 20 : 25 to 35.

[0085] In a specific example, the siloxane-modified polyester may be included in an amount of about 0.3 to about 1.5 parts by weight, for example, about 0.5 to about 1 part by weight, relative to about 100 parts by weight of the base resin. If the content of the siloxane-modified polyester is less than about 0.3 parts by weight relative to about 100 parts by weight of the base resin, there is a concern that the scratch resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 1.5 parts by weight, there is a concern that the weather resistance, colorability, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced.

[0086]

[0087] (E) syndiotactic polystyrene

[0088] According to one specific example of the present invention, syndiotactic polystyrene can be applied together with a polycarbonate resin, a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin, a phosphazene compound, a siloxane-modified polyester, and a benzotriazole-based UV stabilizer, thereby improving the scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, colorability, etc. of a polycarbonate resin composition.

[0089] Polystyrene is generally classified into atactic, isotactic, and syndiotactic structures based on the position of the benzene rings in the side chain. Atactic polystyrene has an irregular arrangement of the benzene rings, while isotactic polystyrene has the benzene rings arranged along one side of the polymer backbone. In contrast, syndiotactic polystyrene has a structure in which the benzene rings are arranged in a regular, alternating pattern.

[0090] Among these, syndiotactic polystyrene can be produced using a catalyst system comprising a metallocene catalyst and a cocatalyst, using a styrene monomer. The metallocene catalyst has a structure in which one or two cycloalkane dienyl groups (cyclopentadienyl groups, indenyl groups, fluorenyl groups, and derivatives thereof) are linked to a group Ⅳ transition metal complex of the periodic table, such as Ti, Zr, or Hf.

[0091] As a prior art for polystyrene having high stereoregularity, high melting point, and excellent molecular weight distribution, U.S. Patent No. 6,010,974 discloses a method for polymerizing styrene monomer using a new alkyl-bridged dinuclear metallocene catalyst, a silyl-bridged dinuclear metallocene catalyst, and an alkyl-silyl bridged dinuclear metallocene catalyst, and U.S. Patent No. 6,284,700 discloses a method for producing syndiotactic polystyrene using a catalyst system comprising a metallocene catalyst and a cocatalyst. The disclosures of these patents are incorporated by reference in their entirety into the present specification.

[0092] In specific examples, the syndiotacticity of the syndiotactic polystyrene may be about 97 to about 100%.

[0093] In a specific example, the syndiotactic polystyrene may be included in an amount of about 0.3 to about 3 parts by weight, for example, about 0.5 to about 1 part by weight, relative to about 100 parts by weight of the base resin. If the amount of the syndiotactic polystyrene is less than about 0.3 parts by weight relative to about 100 parts by weight of the base resin, there is a concern that the impact resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 3 parts by weight, there is a concern that the flame retardancy, weather resistance, etc. of the polycarbonate resin composition may be reduced.

[0094]

[0095] (F) Benzotriazole UV stabilizer

[0096] A benzotriazole-based UV stabilizer according to one specific example of the present invention can be applied together with a polycarbonate resin, a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer resin, a phosphazene compound, a siloxane-modified polyester, and syndiotactic polystyrene, etc., to improve the scratch resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, weather resistance, colorability, etc. of a polycarbonate resin composition. Various commercially available benzotriazole-based UV stabilizers used in conventional thermoplastic resin compositions can be used.

[0138] (3) Flame retardancy evaluation: The total burning time (sum of the burning time after the first contact (T1) and the burning time after the second contact (T2), unit: seconds) of a 1.5 mm thick specimen was measured using the UL-94 vertical test method.

[0139] (4) Weatherability evaluation: The initial color (L0) was measured using a colorimeter (manufacturer: Konica Minolta Inc., model number: CM-3700D) on a 50 mm × 90 mm × 3 mm sized specimen to which 0.5 parts by weight of a quinone dye mixture that indicates black was applied to 100 parts by weight of the base resin. * , a0 * , b0 * ) was measured, and the above specimens were tested for weatherability for 3,000 hours according to SAE J 1960, and the color (L1) after testing using a colorimeter * , a1 * , b1 * ) was measured, and the color change (ΔE) was calculated according to Equation 1 below.

[0140] [Formula 1]

[0141] Color change (ΔE) =

[0142] In the above equation 1, ΔL * L before and after the test * Difference in value (L1 * -L0 * ) and Δa * a before and after the test * Difference in value (a1 * - a0 * ) and Δb * b before and after the test * Difference in value (b1 * - b0 * )am.

[0143] (5) Colorability evaluation: After preparing a specimen in which 0.5 parts by weight of a quinone dye mixture that exhibits black color was applied to 100 parts by weight of the base resin, the blackness (brightness, L) of the specimen was measured in the specular reflection elimination mode (SCE Mode) using a colorimeter (manufacturer: Konica Minolta Inc., model name: CM-3700D). * ) was measured.
