Description

本発明は、メタクリル樹脂と金属酸化物粒子とを含有するメタクリル樹脂組成物の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a methacrylic resin composition containing a methacrylic resin and metal oxide particles.

メタクリル樹脂と金属酸化物粒子とを含有するメタクリル樹脂組成物は、メタクリル樹脂の優れた透明性に加え、高い表面硬度を有しうるため、例えば、学校・病院等の安全窓ガラス、携帯電話等の窓材、表示板、ディスプレイパネル、防音板、間仕切り等の材料として有望視されている。そして、該メタクリル樹脂組成物が優れた透明性を持ちつつ、高い表面硬度を獲得するには、金属酸化物粒子をメタクリル樹脂中に良好に分散させる必要があることが知られている。   A methacrylic resin composition containing a methacrylic resin and metal oxide particles can have high surface hardness in addition to the excellent transparency of the methacrylic resin. For example, safety window glass such as a school / hospital, a mobile phone, etc. It is promising as a material for window materials, display boards, display panels, soundproof boards, partitions, etc. In order to obtain high surface hardness while the methacrylic resin composition has excellent transparency, it is known that the metal oxide particles need to be well dispersed in the methacrylic resin.

一方、メタクリル樹脂と金属酸化物粒子とを含有するメタクリル樹脂組成物の製造方法として、非特許文献1には、メタクリル樹脂と(3−アクリロキシ)トリメトキシシランで表面処理されたシリカ粒子とをシングルスクリュー混練機により混練する方法が記載されている。また、非特許文献2には、オクタデシルメチルベタインによりイオン交換された親油性のモンモリロナイトを、メタクリル酸メチルモノマー中に加えた後、超音波処理して該モノマー中に分散させ、次いで重合反応を行う方法が記載されている。   On the other hand, as a method for producing a methacrylic resin composition containing a methacrylic resin and metal oxide particles, Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a single methacrylic resin and silica particles surface-treated with (3-acryloxy) trimethoxysilane. A method of kneading with a screw kneader is described. Further, in Non-Patent Document 2, lipophilic montmorillonite ion-exchanged with octadecylmethylbetaine is added to methyl methacrylate monomer, and then subjected to ultrasonic treatment to be dispersed in the monomer, followed by polymerization reaction. A method is described.

しかしながら、非特許文献1に記載の方法では、メタクリル樹脂中に金属酸化物粒子であるシリカ粒子を分散させるために所定の化合物でシリカ粒子を表面処理する必要があり、操作が煩雑であった。また、メタクリル樹脂と該シリカ粒子を所定の混練機で機械的に混練するため、分散性の点で必ずしも満足のいくものではなかった。   However, in the method described in Non-Patent Document 1, it is necessary to surface-treat the silica particles with a predetermined compound in order to disperse the silica particles that are metal oxide particles in the methacrylic resin, and the operation is complicated. Further, since the methacrylic resin and the silica particles are mechanically kneaded with a predetermined kneader, the dispersibility is not always satisfactory.

また、非特許文献2に記載の方法では、メタクリル酸メチルモノマー中にモンモリロナイトを分散させるために所定の化合物でモンモリロナイトを処理する必要があり、また、該モノマーと該モンモリロナイトとの混合物を超音波処理した後、重合反応を行うため、操作が煩雑であった。   Further, in the method described in Non-Patent Document 2, it is necessary to treat montmorillonite with a predetermined compound in order to disperse montmorillonite in a methyl methacrylate monomer, and ultrasonically treat the mixture of the monomer and the montmorillonite. Then, since the polymerization reaction was performed, the operation was complicated.

そこで、本発明の目的は、金属酸化物粒子をメタクリル樹脂中に簡便かつ良好に分散させ、良好な透明性と表面硬度を有するメタクリル樹脂組成物を製造しうる方法を提供することにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of producing a methacrylic resin composition having good transparency and surface hardness by simply and satisfactorily dispersing metal oxide particles in a methacrylic resin.

The present invention has been completed by finding that a methacrylic resin composition having good transparency and surface hardness can be produced by easily and satisfactorily dispersing metal oxide particles and removing the solvent from the mixture. It came to do.

To this solution was added 5 g of a sol in which silica was dispersed in isopropanol (silica content: 30% by weight, silica central particle size: 10 to 15 nm, manufactured by Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and the mixture was stirred and mixed at 65 ° C. for 6 hours. The mixture was placed in an aluminum vat and air-dried at room temperature for 2 days, and then dried at 50 ° C. for 2 days and additionally at 120 ° C. for 3 days to obtain a methacrylic resin composition. This resin composition was press-molded by a press molding machine to obtain a press plate having a thickness of 2 mm. The press plate had a total light transmittance of 68.5%, a haze value of 58.8%, a silica content of 7.4% by weight, and a pencil hardness of 5H.
