Description

本発明は特定のバインダー樹脂を用いた着色層を有する炭素繊維強化プラスチック用加飾シート、並びに加飾複合材料及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a decorative sheet for carbon fiber reinforced plastic having a colored layer using a specific binder resin, a decorative composite material, and a method for producing the same.

近年、大きな衝撃や変形応力を受けるスポーツ用具、自動車、船舶、航空機などの部材として、炭素繊維強化プラスチック(CFRP)複合材料を用いた成形品が提案されており、特に軽量かつ高い力学特性が求められる分野において積極的に採用されている。このCFRP複合材料は、炭素繊維に対して熱可塑性樹脂や熱硬化性樹脂といったマトリックス樹脂を含浸させ、必要に応じて硬化させることで製造され、炭素繊維によって強化されているため物性が著しく向上し、比較的軽量でありながら強靭な部材である。
一方、意匠性の観点からは、マトリックス樹脂の美麗な光沢や、炭素繊維の織目模様を活かした精巧な立体的な意匠が好まれ、特にスポーツ用具、スポーツカー等の分野においては、CFRPが本来有する意匠性を活かした成形品が嗜好されている。
このようなCFRPの意匠性を活かした成形品の一例として、特許文献1には、CFRPを表面材に用いた成形品が開示されている。
In recent years, molded products using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials have been proposed as components for sports equipment, automobiles, ships, aircraft, etc. that are subject to large impacts and deformation stresses. Has been actively adopted in certain fields. This CFRP composite material is manufactured by impregnating a carbon fiber with a matrix resin such as a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin, and curing it as necessary. It is a tough member that is relatively lightweight.
On the other hand, from the viewpoint of designability, elaborate three-dimensional designs that take advantage of the beautiful luster of the matrix resin and the texture of the carbon fiber are preferred. Especially in the field of sports equipment and sports cars, CFRP is Molded products that take advantage of their inherent design are preferred.
As an example of a molded product that takes advantage of such design properties of CFRP, Patent Document 1 discloses a molded product using CFRP as a surface material.

特開平10−138354号公報JP 10-138354 A

しかしながら、こういったCFRP複合材料の意匠は、炭素繊維の織目の凹凸パターンと黒色の組合せのみに限定されているため、例えば織目の凹凸パターンを活かしつつ色のみを変更することはできない。
また、CFRP複合材料の表面に塗装を施す方法も考えられるが、不透明な塗料を用いると炭素繊維の織目が隠蔽されてしまうため、CFRP複合材料が本来有する良好な意匠性が失われてしまう。一方、透明性の高い塗料を用いると炭素繊維の黒色により望むような色が得られない。
本発明は、このような状況下で、CFRP複合材料が織目の凹凸パターンなどの本来有する良好な意匠性を活かしつつ、優れた加飾を簡便に施すことのできる炭素繊維強化プラスチック用加飾シート、並びに加飾複合材料及びその製造方法を提供することを課題とする。
However, since the design of such a CFRP composite material is limited only to a combination of a carbon fiber texture uneven pattern and a black color, for example, it is not possible to change only the color while utilizing the texture uneven pattern.
Although a method of coating the surface of the CFRP composite material is also conceivable, if an opaque paint is used, the texture of the carbon fiber is concealed, so that the good design property inherent in the CFRP composite material is lost. . On the other hand, when a highly transparent paint is used, the desired color cannot be obtained due to the black color of the carbon fiber.
Under such circumstances, the present invention is a decoration for carbon fiber reinforced plastic that can be easily easily decorated while taking advantage of the good design properties that the CFRP composite material originally has, such as a textured uneven pattern. It is an object to provide a sheet, a decorative composite material, and a manufacturing method thereof.

本発明者は、前記課題を解決するために鋭意研究を重ねた結果、特定のバインダー樹脂を用いた着色層を有する炭素繊維強化プラスチック用加飾シートを用いてCFRPに加飾を施すと、着色層が炭素繊維の立体形状に追従し、得られる加飾複合材料に新規な意匠を与えることを見出した。本発明は、かかる知見に基づいて完成したものである。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor colored CFRP using a decorative sheet for carbon fiber reinforced plastic having a colored layer using a specific binder resin. It has been found that the layer follows the three-dimensional shape of the carbon fiber and gives a new design to the resulting decorative composite material. The present invention has been completed based on such findings.

There are eye patterns, fabric patterns simulating cloth and cloth-like patterns, tiled patterns, brickwork patterns, etc. There are also patterns such as parquet and patchwork that combine these. These patterns are formed by multicolor printing with the usual yellow, red, blue and black process colors, as well as by multicolor printing with special colors prepared by preparing the individual color plates constituting the pattern. Is done.
The colored solid layer is formed as a uniform and uniform colored layer on the base material, and gives the intended color to the entire surface of the base material. Usually, it is formed with an opaque color, but it can also be formed with a colored transparent color and make use of the pattern of the base.
The thickness of the colored layer is preferably from 0.1 to 20 μm, more preferably from 0.1 to 15 μm, still more preferably from 0.3 to 10 μm. When the thickness of the colored layer is 0.1 μm or more, the decoration effect on the decorative composite material is good, and when it is 20 μm or less, the three-dimensional shape of the carbon fiber is easy to see.

着色層の形成に用いるインキとしては、バインダー樹脂と、顔料、染料などの着色剤とを含有するものが使用され、さらに必要に応じて体質顔料、溶剤、安定剤、可塑剤、触媒、硬化剤などを適宜混合してもよい。
着色剤のバインダー樹脂としては、軟化点が100℃未満(好ましくは90℃未満、さらに好ましくは30℃以上90℃未満)のものを用いる必要があり、例えば、ポリウレタン系樹脂、塩化ビニル/酢酸ビニル系共重合体樹脂、塩化ビニル/酢酸ビニル/アクリル系共重合体樹脂、塩素化ポリプロピレン系樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、ポリエステル系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、ブチラール系樹脂、ポリスチレン系樹脂、ニトロセルロース系樹脂、酢酸セルロース系樹脂などの中から任意のものが、1種単独で又は2種以上を混合して用いられる。なお2種以上バインダー樹脂を混合して使用する場合は、混合比率に応じた平均軟化点温度が100℃未満であればよい。
また軟化点が100℃未満のバインダー樹脂であれば、CFRPが織目の凹凸パターンなどの本来有する良好な意匠性を活かしつつ、プリプレグとの接着性を向上できる点で好ましい。ここで、上記軟化点は、JIS K5601−2−2塗料成分試験方法−第2部の塗料成分の軟化点試験方法である環球法を用いて測定されるものである。バインダー樹脂の軟化点が100℃以上であると、炭素繊維強化プラスチック用加飾シートを用いて加飾複合材料を製造しても、着色層が炭素繊維の立体形状に追従しないため、本発明の効果を発現せず、また軟化点が30℃以上であると、加熱加圧成形により一体成形を行う場合に、熱圧で溶融しにくくなるため好ましい。さらに、上記意匠性や接着性の観点からは、塩化ビニル/酢酸ビニル系共重合体、アクリル系樹脂、ポリエステル系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂又はこれらの2種以上の混合物をバインダー樹脂として用いることが好ましく、塩化ビニル/酢酸ビニル系共重合体、アクリル系樹脂、又はこれらの混合物を用いることが特に好ましい。

As the ink used for forming the colored layer, an ink containing a binder resin and a colorant such as a pigment or a dye is used. If necessary, an extender pigment, a solvent, a stabilizer, a plasticizer, a catalyst, or a curing agent is used. Etc. may be mixed as appropriate.
As the binder resin of the colorant, it is necessary to use a resin having a softening point of less than 100 ° C. (preferably less than 90 ° C., more preferably 30 ° C. or more and less than 90 ° C.). For example, polyurethane resin, vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate Copolymer resin, vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate / acrylic copolymer resin, chlorinated polypropylene resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin, polyamide resin, butyral resin, polystyrene resin, nitrocellulose resin, Arbitrary things are used among cellulose acetate type resin etc. individually by 1 type or in mixture of 2 or more types. In addition, when mixing and using 2 or more types of binder resin, the average softening point temperature according to a mixing ratio should just be less than 100 degreeC.
In addition, a binder resin having a softening point of less than 100 ° C. is preferable in that the CFRP can improve the adhesiveness with the prepreg while taking advantage of the good design properties inherent in the texture pattern. Here, the softening point is measured using a ring and ball method which is a JIS K5601-2-2 paint component test method-part 2 paint component softening point test method. If the softening point of the binder resin is 100 ° C. or higher, even if a decorative composite material is manufactured using a decorative sheet for carbon fiber reinforced plastic, the colored layer does not follow the three-dimensional shape of the carbon fiber. When the effect is not exhibited and the softening point is 30 ° C. or higher, it is difficult to melt by heat pressure when performing integral molding by heat and pressure molding, which is preferable. Furthermore, from the viewpoints of the design properties and adhesiveness, it is preferable to use a vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer, an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, a polyamide resin, or a mixture of two or more thereof as a binder resin. It is particularly preferable to use a vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer, an acrylic resin, or a mixture thereof.

[炭素繊維]
本発明において使用される炭素繊維については特に限定されず、ポリアクリロニトリル(PAN)系、ピッチ系等のいずれを用いても良く、またそれらが混合されているものを用いても良い。また炭素繊維の織目としては、一方向に引き揃えられた長繊維、二方向織物、多軸織物、不織布、マット、ニット、組み紐などのいずれのものであってもよい。ここでいう長繊維とは、実質的に10mm以上連続な単繊維もしくは繊維束を意味する。
[Carbon fiber]
The carbon fiber used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and any of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) type, pitch type and the like may be used, and those in which they are mixed may be used. Further, the carbon fiber weave may be any one of long fibers arranged in one direction, bi-directional woven fabric, multiaxial woven fabric, non-woven fabric, mat, knit, braided string, and the like.

[プリプレグ]
プリプレグとは、強化繊維にマトリックス樹脂を含浸させた成形中間基材であり、本発明においては、強化繊維として炭素繊維が用いられる。こういったプリプレグを必要に応じて積層、硬化することで炭素繊維強化プラスチック層が得られる。もちろん、プリプレグは単層で使用してもよいが、複数枚のプリプレグを積層して用いることもできる。
[Prepreg]
The prepreg is a molded intermediate base material in which a reinforcing fiber is impregnated with a matrix resin. In the present invention, a carbon fiber is used as the reinforcing fiber.

[一体成形方法]
プリプレグと、上述の炭素繊維強化プラスチック用加飾シートとを一体成形する際には、加熱加圧成形により一体成形を行うことが好ましい。加熱加圧成形を行うことで、マトリックス樹脂としてエポキシ樹脂等の熱硬化性樹脂を使用する場合には、一体成形と同時にマトリックス樹脂を加熱硬化することができ、マトリックス樹脂として熱可塑性樹脂を使用する場合には、マトリックス樹脂を軟化させつつ一体成形することができるため、生産効率に優れる。
ここで加熱加圧成形法としては、プレス成形法、オートクレーブ成形法、バッギング成形法、ラッピングテープ法および内圧成形法等が採用できるが、一体成形と同時に、マトリックス樹脂と着色層との密着性を高める観点から、プレス成形法が好ましい。
加熱加圧成形法における成形温度(又は硬化時間)は、選択したマトリクス樹脂により適宜選択してよく、例えば、エポキシ樹脂組成物の場合、含まれる硬化剤の種類などにもよるが、通常80〜220℃の温度が好ましい。かかる成形温度が低すぎると、十分な速硬化性が得られない場合があり、逆に高すぎると、熱歪みによる反りが発生しやすくなったりする場合がある。
また、プレス成形法で成形する圧力としては、プリプレグの厚みなどにより異なるが、通常0.1〜1MPaの圧力が好ましい。かかる成形圧力が低すぎると、プリプレグの内部まで十分に熱が伝わらず、局所的に未硬化となったり、反りが発生する場合がある。逆に高すぎると、樹脂が硬化する前に周囲に流れ出してしまい、炭素繊維強化プラスチック中にボイドが発生する場合がある。
[Integrated molding method]
When integrally forming the prepreg and the above-mentioned decorative sheet for carbon fiber reinforced plastic, it is preferable to perform integral molding by heat and pressure molding. When thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin is used as the matrix resin by performing heat and pressure molding, the matrix resin can be heat-cured simultaneously with integral molding, and a thermoplastic resin is used as the matrix resin. In this case, since the matrix resin can be integrally molded while being softened, the production efficiency is excellent.
Here, press molding method, autoclave molding method, bagging molding method, wrapping tape method, internal pressure molding method, etc. can be adopted as the heat and pressure molding method, but at the same time as the integral molding, the adhesion between the matrix resin and the colored layer is improved. From the viewpoint of enhancing, a press molding method is preferable.
The molding temperature (or curing time) in the heat and pressure molding method may be appropriately selected depending on the selected matrix resin. For example, in the case of an epoxy resin composition, depending on the type of curing agent contained, etc. A temperature of 220 ° C. is preferred. If the molding temperature is too low, sufficient rapid curability may not be obtained. Conversely, if the molding temperature is too high, warping due to thermal strain may be likely to occur.
Moreover, as a pressure shape | molded by the press molding method, although it changes with thickness of a prepreg etc., the pressure of 0.1-1 Mpa is preferable normally. If the molding pressure is too low, heat may not be sufficiently transmitted to the inside of the prepreg, resulting in uncured locally or warping. On the other hand, if it is too high, the resin will flow out before it hardens, and voids may be generated in the carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
