Description

Decorative sheet
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a decorative sheet and a decorative resin molded article using the same.
Background
Conventionally, a decorative resin molded article in which a decorative sheet is laminated on the surface of a resin molded article is used as an interior and exterior decorative member for a vehicle, an interior decorative material for a building material, a housing for a home appliance, and the like. In the production of such a decorative resin molded article, a molding method or the like is used in which a decorative sheet to which a design has been previously applied is integrated with a resin by injection molding. Typical examples of such molding methods include: an insert molding method in which a decorative sheet is molded into a three-dimensional shape in advance by a vacuum molding die, the decorative sheet is inserted into an injection molding die, and a resin in a flowing state is injected into the die, thereby integrating the resin and the decorative sheet; the decoration method is to integrate the decoration sheet inserted into the mold during injection molding and the melted resin injected into the mold cavity.
For example, a printed layer is provided on the back surface of an acrylic film on the front surface of a decorative sheet, and a concave-convex shape is formed on the printed layer side, whereby a decorative sheet exhibiting a three-dimensional shape is provided inside the decorative sheet. In such a decorative sheet, the fine lines and shadows of the uneven shape give a sense of reality and a sense of high quality as compared with the pattern expression by printing alone.
In recent years, designs required for decorative sheets are various, and it is demanded to exhibit more various three-dimensional effects.
In addition, there is a problem that the uneven shape formed inside the decorative sheet becomes gentle or small due to heat and pressure at the time of injection molding such as insert molding of the decorative sheet or at the time of preforming (vacuum molding) before that, and thus, the high texture due to the uneven shape is deteriorated.
In addition, in recent years, designs required for decorative sheets are required to exhibit a higher degree of three-dimensional effect such as an artificial geometric pattern and a layered effect in addition to a physical effect simulating natural substances and natural substances such as real carbon lines (real carbon) and hairlines.

Concave-convex shape of decorative sheet
The decorative sheet 10 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a transparent resin film layer 1 having a concave-convex shape on one side surface, and a decorative layer 2 formed along the concave-convex shape of the transparent resin film layer 1. That is, the concave-convex shape formed at the interface between the transparent resin film layer 1 and the decorative layer 2 constitutes the concave-convex shape of the interior of the decorative sheet. When the decorative sheet according to the first aspect of the present invention is viewed from the transparent resin film layer 1 side (i.e., the side identified when the decorative sheet 10 and the molded resin layer 5 are laminated to form the decorative resin molded article 20), the uneven shape is identified by the transparent resin film layer 1, and a high three-dimensional effect can be perceived.
In the first aspect of the present invention, the concave-convex shape of the transparent resin film layer 1 has a plurality of convex portions 1a protruding from the transparent resin film layer 1 side toward the decorative layer 2 side. In the concave-convex shape, the plurality of convex portions 1a are each formed in a multi-stage shape. That is, in the decorative sheet according to the first aspect of the present invention, the convex portions 1a formed in the transparent resin film layer 1 are formed in a multi-stage shape, whereby a three-dimensional design such as a pyramid can be expressed from above, and the stepped edges are formed in the convex portions, whereby damage to the three-dimensional shape due to heat and pressure during molding of the decorative sheet can be appropriately suppressed, and excellent three-dimensional effect due to the internal concave-convex shape can be exhibited even after molding.
In the decorative sheet 10 according to the first aspect of the present invention, the height H, the number of segments, the height H of each segment, the width wn of each segment, the width w of the uppermost segment, the shape of the top-view convex portion 1a, and the like of each convex portion 1a are adjusted, and the shape of the top-view convex portion 1a is made polygonal or circular, so that each convex portion can be made into a plurality of segments having various shapes, and various designs can be provided to the surface of the decorative resin molded product.
For example, in the schematic diagram of fig. 2, the number of segments of the convex portion 1a is 3, the entire height H of the convex portion 1a, the height H1 of the 1 st segment, the height H2 of the 2 nd segment, the height H3 of the 3 rd segment, the width w1 of the 1 st segment, the width w2 of the 2 nd segment, and the width w of the 3 rd segment (i.e., the width of the uppermost segment) are illustrated. Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing a case where the shape of the protruding portion 1a is diamond-shaped in a plan view.
The number of the protruding portions 1a is not particularly limited, and, even when the shape of each protruding portion is multi-segmented after the decorative sheet is formed, it is preferable that the number of the protruding portions is about 2 to 9, for example, depending on the width w, height h, and the like of each segment.
The height H (overall height) of the protruding portion 1a is preferably about 3 to 100 μm, more preferably about 8 to 60 μm, from the viewpoint of suitably exhibiting the effect of the invention according to the first aspect of the present invention.
The height h of each step of the convex portion 1a is preferably about 3 to 50 μm, and more preferably about 8 to 30 μm, from the viewpoint of suitably exhibiting the effect of the invention according to the first aspect of the present invention.
Further, from the viewpoint of suitably exhibiting the effects of the invention according to the first aspect of the present invention, the width wn of each segment of the convex portion 1a is preferably about 10 to 200 μm, and more preferably about 20 to 100 μm.
In order to suitably exhibit the effect of the invention according to the first aspect of the present invention, the width of the uppermost stage of the convex portion 1a is preferably about 10 to 300 μm, more preferably about 20 to 200 μm.
In the case of the convex portion in plan view, the width of each segment and the width of the uppermost segment are measured in directions perpendicular to the sides forming the peripheral edge (outer edge) of the convex portion (directions perpendicular to the sides facing each other, for example, directions perpendicular to the tangential line in the case of a diamond shape, and directions perpendicular to the tangential line in the case of a circle, as shown in the schematic diagram of fig. 5).
In fig. 1,3 and 4, the convex portions 1a are illustrated as being arranged independently of each other, but the convex portions 1a may be connected to each other at least in part. As a method of connecting the convex portions 1a, a method of connecting a plurality of convex portions (convex portions in a multi-stage shape) constituting the convex portions 1a to each other to constitute 1 layer of the concave-convex shape is exemplified.
The pattern in which the convex portions 1a are arranged is not particularly limited. For example, by arranging the plurality of convex portions 1a in a matrix, the decorative sheet 10 in which the convex portions 1a are formed in a matrix on the surface can be obtained.
The shape (shape of the outer edge) of each convex portion 1a in plan view is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a polygon (for example, a triangle, a quadrangle (square, rectangle, diamond, etc.), a pentagon, hexagon, etc.), a circle (perfect circle, ellipse, etc.), other geometric figures, etc.
In the decorative sheet according to the first aspect of the present invention, the above-described uneven shape may be formed in at least a partial region where a high three-dimensional effect is imparted by the uneven shape when the decorative sheet is viewed from the transparent resin film layer 1. That is, in the decorative sheet according to the first aspect of the present invention, the concave-convex shape may be formed in a part of the area or may be formed in the entire area.
The decorative sheet 10 according to the second aspect of the present invention includes a transparent resin film layer 1 having a concave-convex shape on one side surface, and a decorative layer 2 formed along the concave-convex shape of the transparent resin film layer 1. That is, the concave-convex shape formed at the interface between the transparent resin film layer 1 and the decorative layer 2 constitutes the concave-convex shape inside the decorative sheet. When the decorative sheet according to the second aspect of the present invention is observed from the transparent resin film layer 1 side (i.e., the side identified when the decorative sheet 10 and the molded resin layer 5 are laminated to form the decorative resin molded article 20), the uneven shape is identified by the transparent resin film layer 1, and a high three-dimensional effect can be perceived.
In the second aspect of the present invention, the concave-convex shape of the transparent resin film layer 1 has a plurality of convex portions 1a having different heights protruding from the transparent resin film layer 1 side toward the decorative layer 2 side. Specifically, the plurality of convex portions 1a having different heights are a plurality of convex portions having a height of 5 μm or more. In the concave-convex shape, the ratio (h/w) of the height h (μm) to the width w (μm) of the plurality of convex portions 1a is 100% or less, respectively. That is, in the decorative sheet according to the second aspect of the present invention, the concave-convex shape of the transparent resin film layer 1 formed inside the decorative sheet is reduced in the ratio (h/w) of the height h to the width w of the convex portion after the plurality of convex portions 1a having different heights are formed, so that the concave-convex shape can be recognized from a plurality of angles, and an excellent three-dimensional effect can be obtained.
From the viewpoint of more suitably exhibiting the effects of the second aspect of the present invention, the ratio (h/w) is preferably about 10 to 100%, and more preferably about 20 to 60%.
The height h of each convex portion 1a is obtained by measuring the difference (distance) from the position (line B) of the concave portion 1B to the highest position of the convex portion 1a on the cross section in the thickness direction of the transparent resin film layer 1 of the decorative sheet 10, as shown in schematic diagrams of fig. 6 to 11, for example. For example, as shown in fig. 7, when the heights of both ends of the convex portion 1a of the transparent resin film layer are different (line B1 and line B2) in the cross section in the thickness direction of the decorative sheet, a large value of height h is used. As shown in fig. 7, when the plurality of projections 1a having different heights are coupled to form 1 projection 1a having different heights, a large height h is used. The above-described cross section was measured at 3 or more points with respect to the plurality of projections, and evaluated.
The height h of the convex portion 1a is preferably about 3 to 100 μm, and more preferably about 8 to 60 μm, from the viewpoint of more suitably exhibiting the effect of the invention according to the second aspect of the present invention.
In addition, from the viewpoint of more suitably exhibiting the effects of the invention according to the second aspect of the present invention, the width w of the convex portion 1a is preferably about 30 to 500 μm, and more preferably about 100 to 300 μm.
In addition, from the viewpoint of more suitably exhibiting the effects of the invention according to the second aspect of the present invention, the width x between the convex portions 1a is preferably about 3 to 200 μm, and more preferably about 10 to 150 μm. The width x between the projections is the distance between the projections and the projections located on both sides of the projection 1a, and the measurement height h and width w is one of the smaller values.
In the decorative sheet according to the second aspect of the present invention, the design represented by the concave-convex shape of the transparent resin film layer 1 formed inside is not particularly limited, and for example, stripes, carbon stripes, and the like are particularly suitable.
In the decorative sheet according to the second aspect of the present invention, the above-described uneven shape may be formed in at least a partial region where a high three-dimensional effect is imparted by the uneven shape when the decorative sheet is viewed from the transparent resin film layer 1. That is, in the decorative sheet according to the second aspect of the present invention, the concave-convex shape satisfying the above relation may be formed in a part of the area or may be formed in the entire area.
Composition of layers forming a decorative sheet
[ Transparent resin film layer 1]
In the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention, the transparent resin film layer 1 is a layer that is generally provided so as to be located at the outermost surfaces of the decorative sheet 10 and the decorative resin molded article 20. From the viewpoint of improving the moldability of the decorative sheet 10 of the present invention, thermoplastic resins are preferably used as the material of the transparent resin film layer 1. In addition, since the decorative resin molded article using the decorative sheet of the present invention is observed from the transparent resin film layer 1 side, the transparent resin film layer 1 needs to have transparency in order to exhibit a high three-dimensional effect due to the above-described uneven shape. Here, the term "transparent" includes translucent or colored transparent to such an extent that the uneven shape can be recognized through the transparent resin film layer 1.
The transparent resin film layer 1 has a concave-convex shape on one surface. As described below, the concave-convex shape is formed by embossing. For example, by laminating the transparent resin film layer 1 and the decorative layer 2 and embossing the decorative layer 2, the uneven shape from the decorative layer 2 to the transparent resin film layer 1 can be formed.
The thermoplastic resin used for the transparent resin film layer 1 is preferably an acrylic resin, a vinyl chloride resin, an ABS resin (acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer), a styrene resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyester resin such as polyethylene terephthalate and a molded polyester resin, a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, polybutene, an ethylene-propylene copolymer, a propylene-butene copolymer and an olefin thermoplastic elastomer, or the like. Among these, acrylic resins and polyester resins are more preferable, and acrylic resins are particularly preferable. The thermoplastic resin may be used alone or in combination of at least 2 kinds.
As the acrylic resin, for example, an acrylic resin such as poly (meth) acrylic acid methyl ester, poly (meth) acrylic acid butyl ester, a (meth) acrylic acid methyl ester- (meth) acrylic acid butyl ester copolymer, or a (meth) acrylic acid methyl ester-styrene copolymer may be used alone or in a mixture of 2 or more. Wherein, in the present invention, (meth) acrylate means acrylate or methacrylate.
As the polyester resin, a polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer, an amorphous polyester, or the like can be used. Examples of the polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer include a block polymer in which a high-crystalline and high-melting aromatic polyester such as polybutylene terephthalate is used as a hard segment and an amorphous polyether such as polytetramethylene glycol is used as a soft segment, the glass transition temperature of which is-70 ℃. Further, as the amorphous polyester, ethylene glycol-1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol-terephthalic acid copolymer is typically used.
As the transparent resin film layer 1, for example, a resin film composed of a single layer or a plurality of layers including a resin as described above can be used. In addition, various additives such as a stabilizer, a plasticizer, a colorant, an ultraviolet absorber, a hindered amine light stabilizer, and an extender pigment may be added to the transparent resin film layer 1 as necessary to adjust physical properties. These additives may be used alone or in combination of 1 or more than 2. The transparent resin film layer 1 may be colored within a range that does not impair transparency. For example, a known colorant exemplified for the decorative layer 2 described later can be used for coloring the transparent resin film layer 1.
The thickness (total thickness in the case of multiple layers) of the transparent resin film layer 1 is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 30 to 300 μm, more preferably about 100 to 200 μm, from the viewpoints of cost, performance required for the decorative resin molded article, moldability of the decorative sheet, and the like.

As shown in fig. 7, when the heights h of the two ends of the convex portion of the transparent resin film layer are different in the cross section in the thickness direction of the decorative sheet, a large value of the height h is used. As shown in fig. 7, when 1 convex portion having different heights is formed by coupling a plurality of convex portions having different heights, a large height h is used. The width x between the projections is the distance between the projections on both sides of the projection at the measurement height h and width w, and the smaller value is used. The results are shown in Table 2.
(Evaluation of stereoscopic sensation 1)
The decorative sheet obtained above was placed on a horizontal plane under a fluorescent lamp of white light with the transparent resin film layer facing upward as a test sample.
