(Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a method for easily producing partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles having a relatively large particle size and a spherical shape at a high yield. The present invention also provides a method for controlling the particle size distribution of partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles. The partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles obtained by the present invention are particularly useful as raw material resin particles for producing excellent vinylidene chloride resin foam moldings by the beads foaming method. (Prior art) A foamed molded product made by the bead foaming method of vinylidene chloride resin, which has excellent heat insulation properties and heat resistance, was published in JP-A-63-
170434, and a method for producing a partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin is described in JP-A-63-122713. The bead foaming method is a method in which resin particles are impregnated with a volatile foaming agent, and then aged immediately or for a certain period of time to form foamable resin particles, which are then directly foam-molded or primary foamed and then secondary foam-molded to produce a foamed molded product. It is. The partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles used in the bead foaming method have a center diameter of 0.2
Preferably, the particle diameter is in the range of 2 mm, the particle size distribution is as narrow as possible, and the particle shape is spherical. If the particle size is small, the time required for impregnation with the blowing agent will be short, but the blowing agent will easily escape from the particles after impregnation, and the blowing agent will also easily escape from the expanded particles after primary foaming. More air enters the particles, which reduces the expansion ratio during secondary foam molding and reduces the physical properties of the molded product, such as heat insulation. If the particle size is large, the time required for impregnation with the blowing agent becomes longer and productivity decreases. The center diameter is selected depending on the intended foam molded product. Since the raw particle interface in a molded product often causes problems such as insufficient fusion and the generation of voids, it is preferable that the center diameter of the resin particle is large, and it is relatively large for a molded product with a simple shape such as a heat insulating board. Median diameter resin particles are used. However, resin particles with a small center diameter are used for molded bodies having fine fitting parts or thin parts. Although the particle size distribution depends on the application, in general, the narrower the particle size distribution, the better. This is because if the particle size distribution is wide, the ratio of the impregnated amount of the blowing agent to the resin will be distributed for each particle, which may deteriorate the physical properties of the foam molded product or cause problems with the appearance of the molded product. Further, the shape of the resin particles is preferably as close to a true sphere as possible from the viewpoint of smooth and uniform filling into a mold during secondary foam molding. Partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles used in the bead foaming method are difficult to manufacture by once melting and extrusion granulation, so they are directly manufactured exclusively by the suspension polymerization method. However, in the normal suspension polymerization method, resin particles with a small center diameter can be stably produced by using a large amount of suspension stabilizer, but it is difficult to stably produce resin particles with a relatively large center diameter. It is. In order to obtain large resin particles, it is necessary to reduce the amount of suspension stabilizer and/or weaken the stirring, but all of these methods tend to make the suspension unstable, and during polymerization, This is because droplets of monomers and monomer/polymer mixtures precipitate, coagulate, and even agglomerate the entire reaction system. In addition, in the normal suspension polymerization method, there is a flow energy distribution at each position in the stirring tank and a statistical probability distribution exists in the collision of droplets. It is difficult to avoid the occurrence of distribution in the dispersion and coalescence of the droplets, resulting in a disadvantage that the resulting resin particles have a wide particle size distribution. On the other hand, in the field of manufacturing technology for styrene resins, vinyl chloride resins, methyl methacrylate resins, crystalline vinylidene chloride resins, etc., methods for manufacturing these resins by suspension polymerization are well known. In particular, in the field of styrenic resin manufacturing technology where foam moldings are frequently produced by bead foaming, styrenic resin particles with a desired center diameter and narrow particle size distribution are collected by suspension polymerization. Many efficient manufacturing methods have been proposed. Broadly speaking, these proposals can be divided into
No. 46-21449, Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-51961, etc., methods characteristic of suspension stabilizers (), JP-A-57-
10610, etc., which is characterized by bulk polymerization with a polymerization conversion rate of about 10%, and then proceeding to suspension polymerization (),
JP-B No. 40-824, JP-A-57-70111, etc., a method characterized by dissolving a styrene resin in a styrene monomer and then subjecting it to suspension polymerization (); JP-B No. 46-2987;
Uncrosslinked styrene-based resin particles with a uniform particle size in advance, such as Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-19111, are dispersed in water, and a monomer mainly composed of styrene is intermittently added thereto in an amount that causes the resin particles to swell but not dissolve. Alternatively, it is classified as a method characterized by continuous feeding and suspension polymerization (). In all of the above methods (), (), and (), it is difficult to avoid the existence of distribution in the dispersion and coalescence of droplets of monomers and monomer/polymer mixtures during polymerization, and therefore The particle size distribution of resin particles is not universally satisfactory. In the method () above, if too much monomer mainly composed of styrene is supplied, the styrene resin particles become dissolved in the monomer and become a solution, which disperses and coalesces in water, resulting in a wide particle size distribution. . If the amount of suspension stabilizer is small, the entire polymerization system may become unstable and agglomerate, and if it is too large, individual droplets of the supplied monomer will also be formed, and future resin particles will be formed. The particle size distribution becomes wider. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the weight ratio of the monomer to the sum of the monomer and the polymer in the polymerization system to about 0.6 or less, and to supply the monomer, suspension stabilizer, etc. intermittently or continuously. This method is complicated in terms of management and equipment, and is not necessarily a satisfactory method. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The problems to be solved by the present inventors are that even in the production of partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles, the particle size is relatively large and the shape is spherical. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for stably producing resin particles with a controlled particle size distribution at a high yield. (Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of extensive research in order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles with a gel fraction of 25 to 85% are available at room temperature. impregnation with a copolymerizable unsaturated monomer mainly consisting of vinylidene chloride in an amount of 1 to 20 times the weight of the resin particles at a temperature near the polymerization temperature, and that the impregnated polymerizable unsaturated monomer is substantially It was discovered that the entire amount was polymerized within the raw resin particles, and the present invention was completed based on these findings. That is, in the present invention, amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles having a gel fraction of 25% or more and 85% or less are used as seed particles, and the swelling degree is 80% of the limit swelling degree of the seed particles.
After impregnating the seed particles with a copolymerizable unsaturated monomer mainly consisting of vinylidene chloride, a crosslinking agent, and a radical polymerization initiator in an amount of not more than 50%, a suspension stabilizer is added to carry out aqueous suspension polymerization. The present invention provides a method for producing partially crosslinked amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles, which is characterized by carrying out (hereinafter referred to as seed polymerization) amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles. This will be explained in detail below. In addition, the critical degree of swelling (hereinafter referred to as LSI) referred to in the present invention is the resin particle 2
~5g was immersed in an excessive amount of a mixed solution of the monomer composition used in seed polymerization for 1 hour at room temperature with stirring, and then filtered through a 200-mesh wire mesh to obtain a resin impregnated with the monomer remaining on the wire mesh. This value is calculated from the weight of the particles using the following formula. Limit swelling degree ≡ LSI = (weight of resin particles impregnated with monomer) / (weight of resin particles before soaking) In addition, the degree of swelling (hereinafter referred to as SI) in the present invention refers to the degree of swelling of the seed used in seed polymerization. This value is calculated from the particle weight (Ws) and the total monomer weight (Wm) using the following formula. Swelling degree≡SI=(Ws+Wm)/Ws In addition, the gel fraction in the present invention is 1 to 2 g of resin.
was immersed in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran at 40℃ for 1 hour with stirring, the soluble and insoluble components were separated by filtration, and the tetrahydrofuran was removed by evaporation.The value was determined from the weight of the tetrahydrofuran insoluble component obtained using the following formula. It is. Gel fraction (%) = (weight of insoluble matter) x 100 / (resin weight before immersion) First, the amorphous vinylidene chloride resin particles of the present invention having a gel fraction of 25% or more and 85% or less (hereinafter referred to as (referred to as seed particles) will be explained. The seed particles of the present invention need to be amorphous because crystalline particles have a low LSI and are not suitable for the purpose of the present invention. Generally, resins containing 85% by weight or less of structural units derived from vinylidene chloride are amorphous. Furthermore, even if the particles are amorphous, if the gel fraction is less than 25%, the monomer-impregnated particles will not be able to retain the monomer within the particles during seed polymerization, and if the gel fraction exceeds 85%,
Since the LSI is low and it is not suitable for the purpose of the present invention, the gel fraction needs to be 25% or more and 85% or less. The seed particles of the present invention are vinylidene chloride 30-85
part, 70 to 15 parts of one or more copolymerizable unsaturated monomers and two or more copolymerizable double bonds in the molecule.
It is obtained by carrying out known aqueous suspension polymerization of the compound having the above (hereinafter referred to as a crosslinking agent) in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator, a suspension stabilizer, and, if necessary, a PH regulator. In this case, it is possible to obtain most of the seed particles from the beginning by using a large amount of suspension stabilizer and/or by strengthening the stirring, or by polymerizing directly to obtain raw material resin particles for bead foaming. It is also possible to sieve product particles that meet the specifications from the resin particles obtained by sieving and obtain the remaining small particles that do not meet the specifications as seed particles.
Further, the remaining non-standard large particles can be pulverized to form seed particles. Copolymerizable unsaturated monomers include vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, styrene, α-methylstyrene, vinyl acetate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid alkyl ester, methacrylic acid alkyl ester, glycidyl acrylate, and methacrylate. Glycidyl acid, N-phenylmaleimide, N-hexylmaleimide, N-
Known monomers such as N-substituted maleimides such as 2-chlorophenylmaleimide can be mentioned. As a crosslinking agent, divinylbenzene, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,6-hexanediol,
Known copolymerizable crosslinking agents include diacrylic esters and dimethacrylic esters of diols such as neopentyglylicol, triacrylic esters and trimethacrylic esters of trimethylolpropane, and tetraallyloxyethane. Since the gel fraction can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of crosslinking agent, the amount of crosslinking agent can be determined so that the gel fraction of the seed particles has a desired value in the range of 25 to 85%. Known radical polymerization initiators and suspension stabilizers can be used. Next, seed polymerization will be explained. In seed polymerization, it is essential that the weight of the seed particles and the total monomer weight of vinylidene chloride and one or more copolymerizable unsaturated monomers satisfy the condition that SI is 80% or less of LSI. When SI is 80% or less of LSI, substantially all of the monomer is impregnated into the seed particles, and substantially all of the impregnated monomer is polymerized within the seed particles. It is possible to obtain spherical resin particles that are approximately (SI) 1/3 times the particle size of the seed particles. If the SI exceeds 80% of the LSI, there will be monomers that are not impregnated into the seed particles, and this excess monomer will be dispersed, suspended, and polymerized by itself, resulting in fine particles and agglomerated particles in which several or more pieces have coalesced. produces resin particles with a wide particle size distribution containing a large amount of Impregnation of the monomer, crosslinking agent, and radical polymerization initiator into the seed particles is carried out in the substantial absence of a suspension stabilizer. This can be achieved by stirring and mixing at a temperature of . The presence of a suspension stabilizer during the impregnation operation results in the formation of individual oil droplets that do not impregnate the seed particles, so the suspension stabilizer must be substantially absent. Next, by adding a suspension stabilizer and stirring,
Seed particles impregnated with monomers and the like are individually and neatly dispersed. When the temperature is raised to a predetermined temperature and suspension polymerization is performed, substantially all of the monomer polymerizes within the swollen and expanded seed particles, resulting in the desired particle size determined from the particle size distribution and SI of the seed particles. Resin particles having a uniform distribution can be obtained. The amount of suspension stabilizer should be such that the seed particles that have been impregnated with monomers etc. and are coalesced can be individually and neatly dispersed, and that the particles do not coalesce during polymerization, and the stirring strength should be adjusted according to the monomer content. Any strength may be sufficient as long as it can individually disperse the seed particles impregnated and bonded together, and that the individual particles do not settle during polymerization. According to the seed polymerization of the present invention, the particle size distribution of the produced particles is determined by the particle size distribution of the seed particles and SI, and is substantially unaffected by the type and amount of the suspension stabilizer and the strength of stirring. The amount of vinylidene chloride used for seed polymerization is 30
~85 parts is preferred, and the amount of one or more copolymerizable unsaturated monomers is preferably 70 to 15 parts (in the description of seed polymerization, parts refer to vinylidene chloride used in seed polymerization and one or more copolymerizable unsaturated monomers). (The value is based on the total weight of monomers being 100 parts). If the amount of vinylidene chloride is less than 30 parts, the original properties of vinylidene chloride such as flame retardancy, gas barrier properties, and chemical resistance will deteriorate, and if it exceeds 85 parts, the resin will develop crystallinity and will be difficult to foam for bead foaming. The impregnating properties of the agent are reduced. As the copolymerizable unsaturated monomer used in the seed polymerization, the known copolymerizable unsaturated monomers mentioned in the description of the seed particles can be used. As the crosslinking agent used in the seed polymerization, known crosslinking agents such as those mentioned in the explanation of the seed particles can be used. The type and amount of the crosslinking agent can be determined by taking into consideration the impregnating property of the foaming agent for bead foaming, the foamability during the foaming process, the closed cell ratio of the foamed molded product, etc. As the suspension stabilizer used in seed polymerization, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-based suspension stabilizers, polyvinyl alcohol-based suspension stabilizers, and various other known suspension stabilizers can be used. The appropriate amount of water used for seed polymerization is 90 to 150 parts. As the radical polymerization initiator used in the seed polymerization, known oil-soluble initiators such as lauryl peroxide and benzoyl peroxide can be used. As explained above, the present invention is a polymerization method in which substantially all of the monomer impregnated into the swollen and expanded network structure of seed particles having a partially crosslinked structure is polymerized within the seed particles. It is a suspension polymerization method that controls the particle size by selecting the particle size distribution and SI of the particles, the amount and type of suspension stabilizer, the strength of stirring, and the droplet viscosity of the monomer/polymer mixture. This is a new method that is completely different from conventional suspension polymerization methods in which particle size is controlled by adding a monomer little by little to uncrosslinked resin particles. According to the present invention, product resin particles having a target particle size distribution can be stably produced at a high yield by selecting the particle size distribution and SI of the seed particles in advance. Further, according to the present invention, non-standard resin particles can be recovered and repaired to within the standard.
