FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition having excellent impact resistance and molded appearance. The thermoplastic resin is a polycarbonate, polyester-based resin or a blend of polycarbonate and a polyester-based resin, containing up to 30 percent by weight of at least one core-shell impact modifier having little or no styrene in the core.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Polycarbonate and polyester resins have found many commercial uses. Blends of polycarbonate and polyester-based polymers capitalize on the strengths of each polymer and have been found to exhibit excellent physical properties such as rigidity, hardness, scuff resistance, and stability under dynamic and thermal stress. They are also easy to process. A deficiency with these resins is their mechanical properties, especially impact resistance.
Attempts have been made to improve the physical properties through the addition of core-shell impact modifiers. US 4,535,124 discloses the use of a core-shell impact having a bimodal diene or alkyl acrylate rubber core. US 5,367,021 discloses a graft copolymer diene rubber core with an optional shell, having particle sizes between 200 and 300 nm. US 5,969,041 discloses a composition having two different core-shell polymer particles, each with a styrene acrylonitrile shell.
A core-shell emulsion polymer having a butadiene-based core and a particle size of from 100 to 200 nm is disclosed in US 6,407,167. All examples of core polymers contained 15-20 percent styrene.
Dispersibility of the core-shell impact modifier combined with the impact resistance, and especially low temperature impact resistance, of the modified polycarbonate/polyester-based resin blends, has not been addressed in the art.
Surprisingly, it has been found that impact resistance of the modifier/polycarbonate/ polyester-based resin composition and impact modifier
dispersibility is significantly improved when the level of styrene in the core of the core-shell impact modifier is reduced or eliminated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An objective of the invention is to improve the impact resistance of a polycarbonate, polyester-based resin, or a blend thereof.
Another objective of the invention is to improve the dispersibility of a core-shell impact modifier having a butadiene core in a polycarbonate, polyester-based resin or a blend thereof.
The objects of the invention are met by a thermoplastic resin composition comprising:
a) 70 to 99 percent by weight of a thermoplastic resin selected from the group
comprising a polycarbonate, a polyester, and blends thereof; and
b) 1 to 30 percent by weight of a core-shell graft copolymer comprising:
1) 70 to 90 percent by weight of a core polymer comprising from
95 to 100 percent by weight of butadiene monomer units; and
2) 10 to 30 percent by weight of one or more shell polymer layers
comprising one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomer units.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a thermoplastic resin that is a polycarbonate, polyester-based resin, or a mixture thereof with a butadiene-based core-shell impact modifier.
The thermoplastic resin of the invention is a polycarbonate, a polyester-based resin, or a blend thereof. Preferably the resin is a blend of from 5 to 95% by weight of a polycarbonate resin, and 5 to 95% by weight of a saturated polyester resin and/or polyester-based elastomer. More preferably the thermoplastic resin is a blend of from 25 to 75% by weight of a polycarbonate resin, and 25 to 75% by weight of a saturated polyester resin and/or polyester-based elastomer.
A polycarbonate resin can be an aromatic polycarbonate resin, and can be a polycarbonate produced using a dihydroxydiphenyl alkane as the main raw material. For example, polycarbonates obtained by a transesterification method or phosgene method using 2,2-(4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl)propane (bisphenol A) as a dihydroxy component are preferable. Further, part or all of the above-mentioned bisphenol A may be substituted with other 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl alkane or 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone, 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl ether and the like, and two or more of them may also be mixed and
used.
The saturated polyester resin is a resin obtained by a condensation reaction using an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or ester-forming derivative thereof and alkylene glycol as the main components. Examples of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid include, but are not limited to, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. Examples of the alkylene glycol include, but are not limited to, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, and hexamethylene glycol. Additionally, other dicarboxylic acids and glycols may also be copolymerized in small amounts, if desired. Preferred saturated polyester resins include polytetramethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate and a mixture thereof.
A polyester-based elastomer, of the present invention is a block copolymer having a polyester segment having high melting point and a polymer segment having low melting point. The polyester segment having a high melting point is a polyester obtained by a condensation reaction of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid with an alkylene glycol. Examples of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid include, but are not limited to, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and naphthalene dicarboxylic acid. Examples of the alkylene glycol include, but are not limited to, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, and hexamethylene. In addition to these, other dicarboxylic acids and glycols may also be copolymerized in small amount, as desired. Preferred polyesters include polytetramethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, and mixtures thereof.
The polymer segment having a low melting point is composed of a polymer having a molecular weight from 400 to 20000 such as a polyalkylene ether glycol, aliphatic polyester and the like. Examples of the polyalkylene ether glycol include polyethylene oxide) glycol, poly(tetramethylene oxide) glycol, polypropylene oxide) glycol and a mixture thereof. Examples of the aliphatic polyester include polyesters obtained from an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 2 to 12 carbon atoms and an aliphatic glycol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms. Examples of the preferable polymer segment having a low melting point include polyethylene adipate, polytetramethylene adipate, polyethylene sebacate, polyneopentyl sebacate, polyhexamethylene azelate, poly-s-caprolactone and the like. The proportion of these polymer segments having low melting point in the polyester-based elastomer is preferably from 2 to 80% by weight.
The core-shell impact modifier is an emulsion graft copolymer having a butadiene-based core polymer and one or more shell polymers. A graft copolymer, is
obtained by graft-polymerizing a monomer or monomer mixture containing at least an aromatic vinyl, alkyl methacrylate or alkyl acrylate in the presence of a latex containing a butadiene-based rubber polymer.
The butadiene-based rubber polymer is made by emulsion polymerization of from 90 to 100 percent by weight of 1,3 butadiene monomer and 0 to 10 percent by weight of one or more vinyl-based monomers copolymerized with 1,3-butadiene. Examples of the vinyl-based monomer include, but are not limited to aromatic vinyls such as styrene, and alpha-methylstyrene. In a preferred embodiment no vinyl-based monomers are copolymerized in the core. If styrene is used in the core, the level of styrene will be less than 5 percent. In a preferred embodiment, no styrene monomer is used in polymerizing the core. It was found that deceasing or elimination of styrene from the core improved the impact modification provided by the core-shell impact modifier when used in a thermoplastic resin.
Cross-linking monomers may also be included in the core polymer. Cross-linking monomers useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to aromatic polyfunctional vinyl compounds such as divinylbenzene and divinyltoluene, polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and 1,3-butanediol diacrylate, trimethacrylates, triacrylates, allyl carboxylates such as allyl acrylate and allyl methacrylate, and di and tri-allyl compounds such as diallyl phthalate, diallyl sebacate, and triallyltriazine. In a preferred embodiment, no cross-linking monomer units are in the core polymer.
Chain transfer agents are also useful in forming the core polymer. Useful chain transfer agents include those known in the art, including but not limited to t-dodecylmercaptan, n-octylmercaptan, and mixtures of chain transfer agents. The chain transfer agent is used at levels from 0 to 2 percent by weight, based on the total core monomer content. In a preferred embodiment, 0.2 to 1 percent chain transfer agent is used in forming the core polymer.
The core polymer of the present invention makes up from 70 to 90 percent by weight of the core-shell graft polymer. The shell polymer makes up from 10 to 30 percent by weight of the core-shell graft polymer.
The butadiene-based rubber polymer is made by emulsion polymerization. The polymerization can be carried out at from 40°C to 80°C depending on the kind of a polymerization initiator. As the emulsifier, known emulsifiers can be used. Before initiation of the polymerization, seed latex may be charged. A semi-batch polymerization
is preferable. By semi-batch is meant that part of monomers used in the polymerization are initially charged into the reaction system, and after initiation of the polymerization, the remaining monomers are added in a continuous manner over a period of time. The monomers and other adjuncts may be added as separate feeds, or mixed together and the mixture added over time. By adopting such as a polymerization method, excellent polymerization stability is obtained, and latex having desired particle size and particle size distribution can be obtained stably.
The butadiene-based rubber polymer of the invention has a weight-average particle size of from 120 to 200 nm, and preferably from 140 to 190 nm. The ratio of the weight-average particle size to the number-average particle size is from 1 to 3, preferably 1 to 2.
The graft copolymer impact modifier is obtained by grafting a monomer or monomer mixture to the butadiene-based rubber polymer latex to form a core-shell particle. Monomers useful in forming the shell polymer include aromatic vinyls such as styrene, alpha-methylstyrene and various halogen-substituted and alkyl-substituted styrene; alkyl methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate, and ethyl methacryalte; alkyl acrylates such as ethyl acrylate and n-butyl acrylate; unsaturated nitriles such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile; vinyl-based monomers having a glycidyl group such as glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacryalte, allyl glycidyl ether, and ethylene glycol glycidyl ether. These monomer can be used alone or in combination of two or more. In one preferred embodiment the shell contains from 90-100 percent by weight of alkyl(meth)acrylate monomer units. A shell of 100 percent methyl methacrylate, or of 95-100 percent methacrylate and 0-5 percent ethyl acrylate is especially preferred.
Cross-linking monomers at from 0 to 6 percent by weight may be used to form the shell polymer. Preferably a cross-linker is present in the shell at from 0.5 to 2.5 percent. Cross-linking monomers useful in the shell include, but are not limited to aromatic polyfunctional vinyl compounds such as divinylbenzene and divinyltoluene, polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and 1,3-butanediol diacrylate, trimethacrylates, triacrylates, allyl carboxylates such as allyl acrylate and allyl methacrylate, and di and tri-allyl compounds such as diallyl phthalate, diallyl sebacate, and triallyltriazine.
Polymerization initiators useful in producing a graft copolymer include, but are not limited to a persulfate salt such as potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, and sodium persulfate; an organic peroxide such as t-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene
hydroperoxide, benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, p-menthane hydroperoxide, and diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide; an azo compound such as azobisisobutyronitrile, and azobisisovaleronitrile; or a redox initiator.
As the graft polymerization method, an emulsion polymerization method is used. The polymerization can occur at temperatures in the range from 40 to 80°C, depending on the polymerization initiator. As the emulsifier, known emulsifiers can appropriately be used. Preferably the grafting is done by adding the shell monomers continuously. The shell may be formed as a single shell, or in the form of a multiple shell. A single shell is preferred, as the process is simpler and less time consuming.
The thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention may be produced by various methods such as a method in which powders or granules are mixed by a known technology, including but not limited to, a Henschel mixer, or tumbler; the mixture is melt-mixed by an extruder, kneader, or mixer; a method in which into previously melted components, other components are mixed sequentially; and a method in which a mixture is molded directly by an injection molding machine, and the like.
To a thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention, stabilizers against heat or light, for example, phenol-based stabilizers, phosphite-based stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, amine-based stabilizers may be added. Further, anti-hydrolysis modifiers, for example, epoxy-based modifiers may also be added. Further, known flame retardants and fillers such as titanium oxide, talc and the like, dyes and pigments, plasticizers and the like can be added, if necessary.
The thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention is useful in many applications, including as automatic parts. In the case of automatic parts use, particularly excellent appearance is necessary, and the glossiness is desirably at 80% or more.
The preferred embodiments of our invention will be exemplified by the following examples. One skilled in the art will realize that minor variations outside the embodiments stated herein do not depart from the spirit and scope of this invention. "Parts" and "%" in examples and comparative examples indicate "parts by weight" and "% by weight", respectively.

(Table Removed) Compounding and Testing of Impact-modified Thermoplastic
A blend of graft copolymer, polycarbonate, and/or polybutylene terephthalate were prepared by melt processing the blends in a 27 mm diameter co-rotating twin-screw extruder at 255 °C to form a pellet. The graft copolymer was loaded at 12% of the total
weight of the blend. The remaining 70-98% of the blend is comprised of a polycarbonate /polybutylene terephthalate blend of about 50/50.
The pellets were subsequently injection molded into test specimens having dimensions in accordance with publish standards (ISO 180 and ASTM D-256). All samples were conditioned at 23°C with 50% relative humidity for at least 48 hours prior to testing.
Impact testing was then performed using a pendulum-type impact tester operating within the specifications given in both the ISO 180 and ASTM D-256 standards. For all impact testing at temperatures below ambient temperature (23 °C), the samples were allowed to equilibrate to the desired temperature for at least 2 hours. After this time, the samples were tested immediately using a robotic impact tester that measured, placed, clamped, and tested each sample. During the testing, only one sample was removed from the conditioning chamber at a time. Impact values are reported as the average of at least 5 samples, preferably 10 samples.
Fracture type is reported as brittle for samples undergoing a complete break or hinge break at the specified temperature. Ductile fracture is reported for samples undergoing a partial break or non-break at the specified temperature. The brittle-ductile transition temperature (BDTT) is defined as the temperature at which 50% of the samples suffered brittle failure (i.e., a hinge or complete break).
Various physical properties in the following examples and comparative examples were measured by the following methods. Measurements to determine % solids were performed using a CEM SMART SYSTEM 5® moisture/solids analyzer. Weight-average particle size, dw and number-average particle size, dn were measured by a capillary-mode particle size distribution measuring apparatus.
Notched Izod impact measurements were made according to ISO 180/1A or ASTM D-256.
Example 9 Testing results
Samples were formed with the compositions shown in the Table I below, with the BDTT results listed.
TABLE I

(Table Removed) The results in Table I show that BDTT values can be lowered « 10 °C by reducing the level of styrene in the rubber core to zero. This significant decrease in BDTT is necessary for demanding molded parts applications where low temperature impact performance is paramount. In certain applications for example, the BDTT values shown in comparative examples 9.3 and 9.4 (-10 and -5 °C, respectively) provide inadequate low temperature impact performance. The BDTT values shown in examples 9.1 and 9.2 (-18 and -16 °C, respectively), however, are sufficient in providing acceptable low temperature impact performance in the same applications.
