Description

本発明は、熱伝導性に優れた放熱材料であって、射出成形可能な熱可塑性樹脂組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a heat radiation material excellent in thermal conductivity, and relates to a thermoplastic resin composition that can be injection-molded.

熱可塑性樹脂組成物をパソコンやディスプレーの筐体、電子デバイス材料、自動車の内外装など種々の用途に使用する際、プラスチックは金属材料など無機物と比較して熱伝導性が低いため、発生する熱を逃がしづらいことが問題になることがある。このような課題を解決するため、高熱伝導性無機物を大量に熱可塑性樹脂中に配合することで、高熱伝導性樹脂組成物を得ようとする試みが広くなされている。そのためには、グラファイト、炭素繊維、アルミナ、窒化ホウ素等の高熱伝導性無機物を、通常は30Vol%以上、さらには50Vol%以上もの高含有量で樹脂中に配合する必要がある。しかしながら、無機物を大量に配合しても樹脂単体の熱伝導性が低いために、樹脂組成物の熱伝導率には限界があった。そこで樹脂単体の熱伝導性の向上が求められていた。   When a thermoplastic resin composition is used in various applications such as PC and display housings, electronic device materials, and interior and exterior of automobiles, the heat generated due to the low thermal conductivity of plastics compared to inorganic materials such as metal materials. Difficult to escape may be a problem. In order to solve such problems, attempts have been widely made to obtain a high thermal conductive resin composition by blending a large amount of a high thermal conductive inorganic substance in a thermoplastic resin. For that purpose, it is necessary to mix highly heat-conductive inorganic substances such as graphite, carbon fiber, alumina, boron nitride and the like in the resin with a high content of usually 30 Vol% or more, and further 50 Vol% or more. However, even if a large amount of the inorganic substance is blended, the thermal conductivity of the resin alone is low, so that the thermal conductivity of the resin composition has a limit. Therefore, improvement in the thermal conductivity of the resin alone has been demanded.

樹脂単体の熱伝導性が優れた熱可塑性樹脂としては、延伸、磁場配向など特殊な成形加工なしに、射出成形により成形された樹脂単体が高熱伝導性を有する熱可塑性樹脂についての研究報告はほとんどなく、数少ない例として特許文献1が挙げられる。特許文献1に記載されているように、本発明の発明者らは樹脂単体で高熱伝導性を示す熱可塑性樹脂を見出してきた。
特許文献1には、特許文献1に記載の熱可塑性樹脂に窒化ホウ素などの無機充填剤を配合した場合、汎用樹脂に配合した場合よりも優れた熱伝導性を得られることが示されているが、その熱伝導性は未だ十分とはいえず、さらに、高い熱伝導性のために成形時の金型内での冷却固化が速く、成形体表面に模様が浮かび上がるなどという外観上の問題があった。また、特許文献2、3には、窒化アルミニウムを種々の熱可塑性樹脂に配合した例が記載されているが、いずれも窒化アルミニウムを100〜150重量部配合しても熱伝導率は2W/(m・K)と非常に低い。
As for the thermoplastic resin with excellent thermal conductivity of the resin itself, there are almost no research reports on thermoplastic resins in which the resin itself molded by injection molding has high thermal conductivity without special molding processes such as stretching and magnetic field orientation. There is no patent document 1 as a few examples. As described in Patent Document 1, the inventors of the present invention have found a thermoplastic resin exhibiting high thermal conductivity with a single resin.
Patent Document 1 shows that when the thermoplastic resin described in Patent Document 1 is blended with an inorganic filler such as boron nitride, thermal conductivity superior to that when blended with a general-purpose resin can be obtained. However, its thermal conductivity is still not sufficient, and furthermore, due to its high thermal conductivity, cooling and solidification in the mold during molding is fast, and the appearance problem such as patterns appearing on the surface of the molded product was there. Patent Documents 2 and 3 describe examples in which aluminum nitride is blended with various thermoplastic resins. However, even when 100 to 150 parts by weight of aluminum nitride is blended, the thermal conductivity is 2 W / ( m · K) and very low.

本発明は、優れた熱伝導性を示し、かつ良好な成形体外観を備えた熱可塑性樹脂組成物を提供することが目的である。 An object of the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic resin composition that exhibits excellent thermal conductivity and has a good molded body appearance.

本発明に用いられる窒化アルミニウム(ii)は、高い熱伝導性を有する樹脂組成物が得られるという観点から、その粒子径は大きいものほど好ましい。しかし、あまりに粒子径が大きすぎると、粒子表面の凹凸により、伝熱抵抗となる空気層が形成されやすくなる、成形加工の過程で押出混練機や射出成形機などの金属部を磨耗する、などの問題が起こりうるので、平均粒子径は1〜80μmであることが望ましく、1〜60μmであることがより好ましい。   From the viewpoint of obtaining a resin composition having high thermal conductivity, aluminum nitride (ii) used in the present invention is preferably as large as possible. However, if the particle diameter is too large, an air layer that becomes a heat transfer resistance is likely to be formed due to irregularities on the particle surface, and metal parts such as extrusion kneaders and injection molding machines are worn during the molding process, etc. Therefore, the average particle size is preferably 1 to 80 μm, and more preferably 1 to 60 μm.

By the surface treatment, a thin film is formed on the surface of the aluminum nitride, the adhesiveness at the interface with the resin is improved, and the water resistance can be remarkably improved.

本発明の熱可塑性樹脂組成物の熱伝導率は、好ましくは0.4W/(m・K)以上であり、より好ましくは1.0W/(m・K)以上、さらに好ましくは5.0W/(m・K)以上、特に好ましくは10W/(m・K)以上である。この熱伝導率が0.4W/(m・K)未満であると、電子部品から発生する熱を効率的に外部に伝えることが困難である。熱伝導率の上限は特に制限されず、高ければ高いほど好ましいが、一般的には100W/(m・K)以下、さらには80W/(m・K)以下のものが用いられる。本発明に用いられる熱可塑性樹脂は、優れた熱伝導性を有するため、上記の範囲の熱伝導率を有する高熱伝導性熱可塑性樹脂組成物を容易に得ることが可能となる。   The thermal conductivity of the thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention is preferably 0.4 W / (m · K) or more, more preferably 1.0 W / (m · K) or more, and even more preferably 5.0 W / (M · K) or more, particularly preferably 10 W / (m · K) or more. When the thermal conductivity is less than 0.4 W / (m · K), it is difficult to efficiently transmit the heat generated from the electronic component to the outside. The upper limit of the thermal conductivity is not particularly limited, and is preferably as high as possible. Generally, a thermal conductivity of 100 W / (m · K) or less, further 80 W / (m · K) or less is used. Since the thermoplastic resin used in the present invention has excellent thermal conductivity, it is possible to easily obtain a highly thermally conductive thermoplastic resin composition having a thermal conductivity in the above range.

本発明における樹脂組成物には、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲でさらに無機充填剤を加えてもよい。無機充填剤としては、公知の充填剤を広く使用できる。無機充填剤単体での熱伝導率は好ましくは1W/(m・K)以上、より好ましくは10W/(m・K)以上、さらに好ましくは20W/(m・K)以上、特に好ましくは30W/(m・K)以上のものが用いられる。無機充填剤単体での熱伝導率の上限は特に制限されず、高ければ高いほど好ましいが、一般的には3000W/(m・K)以下、さらには2500W/(m・K)以下のものが好ましく用いられる。   An inorganic filler may be further added to the resin composition in the present invention as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

無機充填剤の使用量は、好ましくは熱可塑性樹脂と、無機充填剤と窒化アルミニウムの混合物の体積比で90:10〜30:70であり、より好ましくは80:20〜40:60であり、特に好ましくは70:30〜50:50である。熱可塑性樹脂と、無機充填剤と窒化アルミニウムの混合物の体積比が100:0〜90:10では満足な熱伝導率が得られないことがある。熱可塑性樹脂と、無機充填剤と窒化アルミニウムの混合物の体積比が30:70〜0:100では機械物性が低下することがある。本発明の熱可塑性樹脂が優れた熱伝導性を有するため、熱可塑性樹脂と、無機充填剤と窒化アルミニウムの混合物の体積比で90:10〜70:30と少量の場合でも、樹脂組成物は優れた熱伝導性を有し、さらに同時に無機充填剤の使用量が少量のために密度を下げることができる。熱伝導性に優れ、かつ密度が小さいことは電気・電子工業分野、自動車分野等さまざまな状況で放熱・伝熱用樹脂材料として用いる際に有利である。   The amount of the inorganic filler used is preferably 90:10 to 30:70, more preferably 80:20 to 40:60, by volume ratio of the thermoplastic resin and the mixture of the inorganic filler and aluminum nitride, Most preferably, it is 70: 30-50: 50. If the volume ratio of the mixture of the thermoplastic resin, the inorganic filler and the aluminum nitride is 100: 0 to 90:10, satisfactory thermal conductivity may not be obtained. When the volume ratio of the mixture of the thermoplastic resin, the inorganic filler and the aluminum nitride is 30:70 to 0: 100, the mechanical properties may be lowered. Since the thermoplastic resin of the present invention has excellent thermal conductivity, even when the volume ratio of the thermoplastic resin and the mixture of the inorganic filler and aluminum nitride is as small as 90:10 to 70:30, the resin composition is It has excellent thermal conductivity, and at the same time, the density can be lowered due to the small amount of inorganic filler used. The excellent thermal conductivity and low density are advantageous when used as a heat-dissipating / heat-transfer resin material in various situations such as in the electric / electronic industry and automobile fields.
