Technical Field

The present invention relates to a reinforced polycarbonate resin composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a reinforced polycarbonate resin composition which has excellent strength, and which has good impact resistance, heat resistance, flame retardancy and thermal stability at the same time and can be suitably used in various fields such as electric and electronic fields, automobile fields, infrastructure and communication fields.

Background

Polycarbonate resins are used in many applications such as machine parts, automobile parts, electric and electronic parts, office equipment parts, and the like because of their excellent properties such as mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and flame retardancy. In recent years, with the miniaturization and high performance of parts, there has been an increasing demand for strength and heat resistance of parts. As a material for improving strength and heat resistance, a reinforced polycarbonate resin composition is known in which at least 1 filler selected from a fibrous filler such as glass fiber or carbon fiber, a plate filler such as talc, and a particulate filler such as calcium carbonate is blended with a polycarbonate resin.

However, polycarbonate resins have a disadvantage that impact resistance is greatly reduced by the addition of glass fibers. Various methods have been studied for improving impact resistance which is lowered by adding glass fibers to polycarbonate resins.

In general, for the purpose of improving impact resistance, for example, a technique of blending an elastomer is known from patent document 1. However, there is a problem that impact resistance is improved and heat resistance and flame retardancy are lowered.

Patent document 2 discloses a method of introducing a polycarbonate-polyorganosiloxane copolymer as a polycarbonate resin. However, in this case, there is still a problem that impact resistance is improved and heat resistance and flame retardancy are deteriorated. In addition, even when the impact resistance is improved by alloying a polycarbonate resin with another resin such as a polyester resin or a styrene resin, the heat resistance and flame retardancy are lowered, and there is a disadvantage in a method of improving the impact resistance while maintaining the strength and heat resistance of a glass-reinforced resin composition.

On the other hand, fluororesins represented by Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are widely used in household goods ranging from automobiles, airplanes, semiconductors, information and communication devices to their bodies because they are extremely excellent in heat resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, and electrical characteristics, and have unique properties such as non-tackiness and lubricity, as compared with other polymer materials. As a technique for blending a fluororesin with a polycarbonate resin, an application as an anti-dripping agent (patent document 3) and an application as a material for imparting slidability (patent document 4) are known. However, since the fluororesin has a high melting point, its application as an alloying material is limited.

Patent document 5 proposes a resin composition in which a polycarbonate resin is blended with a fluororesin having a melting point of 150 to 230 ℃. However, there is no description about the fibrous filler, and there is no discussion about the improvement of the impact resistance of the reinforced resin composition. Patent document 6 proposes a thermoplastic resin composition in which a thermoplastic resin is blended with an alkali-treated fluorine-containing elastomer. However, there is no description therein about polycarbonate, and there is no description therein about a fibrous filler. Patent document 7 reports a slidable polycarbonate resin composition containing a fluoropolymer having no fibril forming ability and carbon fibers in a polycarbonate resin. However, there is no description about improvement of impact resistance and heat resistance. Patent document 8 describes a resin composition containing a polycarbonate, a fibrous filler and a fluororesin. It is described that polytetrafluoroethylene having a melting point of about 330 ℃ is preferable as the fluororesin.

These polycarbonate resins are produced by a reaction method known per se for producing general polycarbonate resins, for example, a method of reacting a carbonate precursor such as phosgene or a carbonic acid diester with an aromatic dihydroxy component. The basic means will be briefly described for the production method.

For example, in a reaction using phosgene as a carbonate precursor, the reaction is generally carried out in the presence of an acid-binding agent and a solvent. As the acid-binding agent, for example, an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or an amine compound such as pyridine can be used. As the solvent, for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or chlorobenzene can be used. In addition, a catalyst such as a tertiary amine or a quaternary ammonium salt may be used to promote the reaction. In this case, the reaction temperature is usually 0 to 40 ℃ and the reaction time is several minutes to 5 hours.

The transesterification reaction using, for example, a carbonic acid diester as a carbonate precursor substance is carried out by the following method: in an inert gas atmosphere, an aromatic dihydroxy component and a carbonic acid diester in a predetermined ratio are stirred while heating, and the produced alcohol or phenol is distilled off. The reaction temperature varies depending on the boiling point of the alcohol or phenol to be produced, and is usually within a range of 120 to 300 ℃. The reaction is completed by distilling off the alcohol or phenol produced under reduced pressure from the initial stage. In addition, a catalyst generally used for the transesterification reaction may be used in order to promote the reaction. Examples of the carbonic acid diester used in the ester exchange reaction include diphenyl carbonate, dinaphthyl carbonate, bis (diphenyl) carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dibutyl carbonate, and the like. Of these, diphenyl carbonate is particularly preferable.

In the present invention, a terminal terminator is preferably used for the polymerization reaction. The terminal stopper is used for molecular weight adjustment, and the resulting polycarbonate resin is excellent in thermal stability compared to the case where it is not end-capped because the terminal is end-capped. The terminal terminator may be a monofunctional phenol represented by the following general formula [4 ] to [ 6 ].

[ formula [4 ], A is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, an alkylphenyl group (the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety is 1 to 9), a phenyl group, or a phenylalkyl group (the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety is 1 to 9), and r is an integer of 1 to 5, preferably 1 to 3. ]

[ formulae [ 5] and [ 6], Y represents-R-O-, -R-CO-O-, or-R-O-CO-, wherein R represents a single bond or a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 10 to 50. ]

Specific examples of the monofunctional phenol represented by the above general formula [4 ] include phenol, isopropylphenol, p-tert-butylphenol, p-cresol, p-cumylphenol, 2-phenylphenol, 4-phenylphenol, and isooctylphenol. The monofunctional phenols represented by the above general formulae [ 5] to [ 6] are phenols having a long-chain alkyl group or aliphatic ester group as a substituent, and when these phenols are used to terminate the polycarbonate resin, they act not only as a terminal terminator or a molecular weight modifier, but also improve the melt flowability of the resin, thereby facilitating molding and having the effect of reducing the water absorption of the resin, and therefore, they are preferably used.

The substituted phenol of the above general formula [ 5] is preferably a substituted phenol wherein n is 10 to 30, particularly 10 to 26. Specific examples thereof include decylphenol, dodecylphenol, tetradecylphenol, hexadecylphenol, octadecylphenol, eicosylphenol, docosylphenol, and hexadecylphenol.

Further, as the substituted phenol of the above general formula [ 6], a compound wherein X is-R-CO-O-, R is a single bond is suitable, and a compound wherein n is 10 to 30, particularly 10 to 26 is preferred. Specific examples thereof include decyl hydroxybenzoate, dodecyl hydroxybenzoate, tetradecyl hydroxybenzoate, hexadecyl hydroxybenzoate, eicosyl hydroxybenzoate, docosyl hydroxybenzoate, and triacontyl hydroxybenzoate.

Among these monofunctional phenols, the monofunctional phenol represented by the above general formula [4 ] is preferable, the alkyl-substituted or phenylalkyl-substituted phenol is more preferable, and p-tert-butylphenol, p-cumylphenol or 2-phenylphenol is particularly preferable. The terminal-terminating agent of the monofunctional phenol is preferably introduced into at least 5 mol%, preferably at least 10 mol%, of the total terminals of the obtained polycarbonate resin, and the terminal-terminating agent may be used alone or in a mixture of 2 or more.

The polycarbonate resin used as component a in the present invention may be a polyester carbonate obtained by copolymerizing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, for example, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, or a derivative thereof, within a range not to impair the gist of the present invention.

The viscosity average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin used as component A in the present invention is preferably in the range of 12500 to 50000, more preferably 16000 to 30000, still more preferably 18000 to 28000, and most preferably 19000 to 26000. When the molecular weight is more than 50000, the melt viscosity becomes too high, and moldability may be deteriorated, and when the molecular weight is less than 12500, a problem may occur in mechanical strength. The viscosity average molecular weight in the present invention is obtained by first obtaining a specific viscosity calculated by the following formula from a solution obtained by dissolving 0.7g of a polycarbonate resin in 100ml of methylene chloride at 20 ℃ using an Ostwald viscometer, and substituting the obtained specific viscosity into the following formula to obtain a viscosity average molecular weight M.
