Background
The present application relates to copolycarbonate compositions, and in particular to compositions comprising copolycarbonates having high heat monomers (high heat monomers).
Polycarbonates are widely used in a variety of applications due to their excellent physical and mechanical properties. Polycarbonates can also be optically transparent with high transparency, which makes them suitable for a variety of optical applications. However, some polycarbonates can be yellow, particularly when exposed to high heat, such as under over-processing conditions.
Thus, there remains a need for polycarbonate compositions having an improved balance of high thermal performance and optical properties.

Examples
Table 1 provides the components used in the examples and comparative examples.
TABLE 1
Stabilizers 1 and 2(ST1 and ST2) were blended with polycarbonate copolymer powder made from BPA and PPPBP to make concentrates, which were then used in the formulation.
To prepare ST1 in table 1, 1.8 grams of tris (2, 4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite and 0.11 gram of phosphorous acid were added to 98 grams of PPPBP-BPA copolycarbonate powder, and the mixture was then blended for 5 minutes using a paint shaker. The molar ratio of tris (2, 4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite to phosphorous acid is from 2 to 1. ST2 in Table 1 was prepared by blending 1.197 grams of n-butyl tosylate into 379 grams of PPPBP-BPA copolycarbonate powder using a paint shaker.
The compositions were prepared as follows. All solids were dry blended off-line as concentrates using one of the major polymer powders as the carrier and starve fed to the feed throat of the extruder by a gravity feeder. The remaining polymer was also starve fed to the feed throat of the extruder via a gravity feeder. The liquid additive (if any) is fed before the vacuum of the liquid injection system is used. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the method is not limited to these processing steps or processing equipment.
Extrusion of all materials was carried out on a 25mm Werner-Pfleiderer ZAK twin screw extruder (L/D ratio of 33/1) with a vacuum port located near the die face. The extruder had 9 zones set at temperatures of 40 deg.C (feed zone), 200 deg.C (zone 1), 250 deg.C (zone 2), 270 deg.C (zone 3) and 290 deg.C (zones 4 to 8). The screw speed was 300 revolutions per minute (rpm) and the production capacity was 10 to 25 kg/hour. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the process is not limited to these temperatures or processing equipment.
For testing, color plaques (60 × 60 × 2.0 millimeters (mm)) were prepared by drying the composition at 135 ℃ for 4 hours, then on a 45-ton Engel molding machine with a 22mm screw or a 75-ton Engel molding machine with a 30mm screw operating at a molding temperature of 80-100 ℃, at a temperature of 310-360 ℃. The melt temperature and residence time in the molding barrel were varied to evaluate the effect of molding under more extreme conditions than relatively mild conditions. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the process is not limited to these temperatures or processing equipment.
The Yellowness Index (YI) was calculated from the transmission spectrum from MacBeth Coloreye7000A according to ASTM D1925 at a thickness of 3.2 mm.
Melt volume flow Rate (MVR) was measured according to ISO 1133 at 330 ℃/2.16Kg, 360 second dwell, and the results were in cm3The/10 minutes is provided as units.
Tensile modulus and tensile strength at yield were measured according to ASTM D638 and the results are provided in MPa.
Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) was measured at 0.45MPa according to ASTM D648 at a span of 3.2mm, and the results are provided in degrees Celsius.
The compositions of the examples and comparative examples, as well as their measured characteristics, are shown in the following table. The amounts of each component are expressed as weight percent based on the total weight of the composition and total 100 weight percent.
The formulations and properties of comparative examples 1 to 6 are shown in table 2. In comparative examples 1 and 2, only one stabilizer group, ST1 or ST2, was added. In comparative examples 3 to 6, different combinations of stabilizer sets were blended in the formulation while maintaining approximately the same total stabilizer loading. Table 3 shows the physical and mechanical properties of the molded articles from formulation comparative examples 1 to 6.
TABLE 2
As can be observed in table 2, the different combinations of ST1 and ST2 perform approximately the same as ST1 or ST2 alone in terms of stable color. And as expected, the other physical and mechanical properties of comparative examples 1 to 6 were not affected by the change in the stable group.
Table 3 lists formulation details and properties of comparative examples 7 and 8 and examples 1 to 3. Each of comparative examples 7 and 8 contained one stabilizer from ST1 or ST2, while examples 1 to 3 had a combination of ST1 and ST2 stabilizers. All formulations had the third long-term stabilizer ST 3. Prior to extrusion, a hindered phenol stabilizer ST3 was added to the formulation.
TABLE 3
The samples of examples 1 to 3 had a lower YI than those of comparative examples 7 and 8, while the other physical and mechanical properties remained about the same, indicating that at about the same loading, the combination of ST1 and ST2 outperformed either stabilizer alone. Also, an improvement effect was observed in the formulations with polycarbonate copolymer, but not in the formulations with homopolycarbonate as in comparative examples 1 to 6.
Table 4 lists formulation details and properties of comparative examples 9 and 10 and examples 4 to 7. Each of comparative examples 9 and 10 contained one stabilizer from ST1 or ST2, while examples 4 to 7 had a combination of ST1 and ST2 stabilizers. Comparative examples 9 and 10 and examples 4 to 6 contain a third long-term stabilizer ST 3.
TABLE 4
The samples of examples 4 to 7 had a lower YI than those of comparative examples 9 and 10, while the other physical and mechanical properties remained about the same, indicating that at about the same loading, the combination of ST1 and ST2 outperformed either stabilizer alone in the combination. The improved effect was shown in the formulations with PPPBP-BPA copolycarbonate, but not in the formulations with homopolycarbonate as in comparative examples 1 to 6. Also, by comparing the results of example 7 with examples 4 to 6, synergy was shown in the presence and absence of ST3 in the formulation.
Table 5 shows the details and properties of the formulations of comparative examples 11-12 and examples 8-9, which each contain 12ppm of butyl tosylate, but differ in the molar ratio of ST4 to ST 5.
TABLE 5
The molar ratios of ST4 and ST5 were 0.127 and 31.7 for comparative examples 11 and 12, respectively, and 2 for examples 8-9. For comparative example 11, where the molar ratio of ST4/ST5 was 0.127, the extrudate was extremely yellow and brittle due to degradation caused by high levels of phosphorous acid; and no acceptable parts for testing could be prepared by injection molding methods and no meaningful MVR data could be generated. For comparative example 12, where the molar ratio ST4/ST5 was 31.7, the YI was 5.22, higher than for examples 8 and 9, where the molar ratio ST4/ST5 was 2.

The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. "or" means "and/or". The endpoints of all ranges directed to the same component or property are inclusive and independently combinable. Unless defined otherwise, technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. As used herein, "combination" includes blends, mixtures, alloys, reaction products, and the like. "combinations thereof" are open ended and include any combination comprising at least one of the listed components or properties and, optionally, similar components or properties not listed.
All test methods represent those that were effective at the time of filing the prior invention application.
Compounds are described using standard nomenclature. For example, any position not substituted by any indicated group is understood to have its valency filled by a bond as indicated, or a hydrogen atom. A dash ("-") that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, -CHO is attached through the carbonyl carbon.
As used herein, the term "hydrocarbyl" broadly refers to a substituent comprising carbon and hydrogen, optionally having 1 to 6 heteroatoms, e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, halogen, silicone, sulfur, or combinations thereof; "alkyl" refers to a straight or branched chain saturated monovalent hydrocarbon group; "alkylene" refers to a straight or branched chain saturated divalent hydrocarbon radical; "alkylidene" refers to a straight or branched chain saturated divalent hydrocarbon radical having two valencies on a single common carbon atom; "alkenyl" refers to a straight or branched chain monovalent hydrocarbon group having at least two carbons joined by a carbon-carbon double bond; "cycloalkyl" refers to a non-aromatic monovalent monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon group having at least 3 carbon atoms; "aryl" refers to an aromatic monovalent group containing only carbon in the aromatic ring; "arylene" refers to an aromatic divalent group containing only carbon in the aromatic ring; "alkylarylene" refers to an aryl group substituted with an alkyl group as defined above, with 4-methylphenyl being an exemplary alkylarylene group; "arylalkylene" refers to an alkyl group substituted with an aryl group as defined above, with benzyl being an exemplary arylalkylene group.
Unless otherwise indicated, each of the foregoing groups may be unsubstituted or substituted so long as the substitution does not significantly adversely affect synthesis, stability, or use of the compound. The term "substituted" as used herein means that at least one hydrogen on the indicated atom or group is replaced by another groupAs long as the normal valency of the indicated atom is not exceeded. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., ═ O), then two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Combinations of substituents or variables are permissible only if such substitutions do not materially adversely affect synthesis or use of the compound. Groups that may be present at a substitution position include (-NO)2) Cyano (-CN), halogen, thiocyanato (-SCN), C2-6Alkanoyl (e.g., acyl (H)3CC (═ O) -); a carboxamide group; c1-6Or C1-3Alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups; c1-6Or C1-3An alkoxy group; c6-10Aryloxy groups such as phenoxy; c1-6An alkylthio group; c1-6Or C1-3An alkylsulfinyl group; c1-6Or C1-3An alkylsulfonyl group; c having at least one aromatic ring6-12Aryl (e.g., phenyl, biphenyl, naphthyl, and the like, each ring being substituted or unsubstituted aromatic); c having 1 to 3 separate or fused rings and 6 to 18 ring carbon atoms7-19An arylalkylene group; or arylalkoxy having 1 to 3 separate or fused rings and 6 to 18 ring carbon atoms. The indicated number of carbon atoms includes any substituent.
All references cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Although typical aspects have been described for purposes of illustration, the foregoing description should not be deemed to be a limitation on the scope herein. Accordingly, various changes, modifications, and alterations may be suggested to one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope herein.
