Generally, methacrylic resin, whose main component is methyl methacrylate, is used in a wide variety of fields such as lighting covers, automobile parts, signboards, decorations, and miscellaneous goods due to its excellent weather resistance and outstanding transparency. , 100 for heat resistance
Celsius is the limit, and currently it is not possible to fully meet the demands of various fields that require heat resistance. For example, in the case of tail lamps as automobile parts, improvements in heat resistance are required from the standpoint of both an increase in heat generation due to larger lamps or increased illuminance compared to conventional ones, and thinner walls to reduce costs. In addition, it is expected to be used in a wide range of applications, such as meter covers for automobiles and two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles), water heater covers that use solar thermal energy, and other parts whose temperature rises significantly under direct sunlight. There are high expectations for the development of methacrylic resins.

However, although these methods improve heat resistance, the polymerization rate is extremely slow, the polymerization rate does not increase and a high polymerization yield cannot be obtained, or the polymer cannot be efficiently produced in a relatively short time. Even if it is obtained, it has advantages and disadvantages such as strong color banding of the polymer and decreased transparency and weather resistance, making it extremely difficult to produce it industrially, and it has not yet been put into practical use. 36-98.4% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 1-40% by weight of maleic anhydride.

Below, methacrylic resins with a melt index of 10 f/10 minutes or less have been proposed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 57-J

Therefore, such methacrylic resins are produced by blending a radical polymerization initiator into a mixture of each component within the above range, and then reacting at a temperature near the decomposition temperature of the radical polymerization initiator to form a copolymer.

To explain the background of the present invention in detail, since a copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride has a high heat distortion temperature, heat resistance can be improved by using styrene and maleic anhydride together as copolymerizable monomers.

, Poly-m@r Handbook), and copolymerizes relatively randomly, so in the mixed composition of methyl methacrylate-styrene-maleic anhydride monomers, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, methyl methacrylate - Styrene-maleic anhydride terpolymer, and if styrene exceeds maleic anhydride by a certain limit in the monomer composition, methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer also coexists, forming a uniform ternary copolymer. It is easy to use a blend composition of the above copolymers instead of a polymer composition. This means that unless the above copolymers are completely compatible with each other, the refractive index of the styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer is np, = 1.5.
64. The refractive index of the methyl methacrylate-styrene-maleic anhydride terpolymer varies depending on the composition, but since the homopolymer of methyl methacrylate has nP = 1.491, 1.491 < n p << 1.564, which means high haze and reduced transparency due to the difference in refractive index, and the presence of a polymer that contains almost no methyl methacrylate units may lead to reduced weather resistance and discoloration. Cause.

First, in the method of the present invention, the monomer mixture subjected to copolymerization contains 50 to 86% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 7 to 25% by weight of styrene, and 7 to 25% by weight of maleic anhydride.
The molar ratio of styrene to maleic anhydride is in the range of 0.5 to 2.0. As is well known, maleic anhydride improves the heat resistance of copolymers through interaction with styrene, but at 7% by weight
If it is less than 25% by weight, sufficient heat resistance temperature cannot be obtained, so it is necessary to contain it in an amount of 7% by weight or more.If it exceeds 25% by weight, the heat resistance of the copolymer will improve, but haze and color banding will be very strong. Therefore, the weather resistance decreases significantly, which is also undesirable.

The same applies to styrene; if it is less than 7% by weight, it will not contribute to improving heat resistance, and if it exceeds 255% by weight, haze and color banding will become very strong, although there is a correlation with the amount of maleic anhydride. Furthermore, when the molar ratio of styrene to maleic anhydride is less than 0.5, heat resistance decreases, and there is no point in using a large amount of maleic anhydride, and the polymerization rate tends to decrease and haze increases. On the other hand, when the molar ratio exceeds 2.0, heat resistance decreases and color banding becomes strong.

As the polymerization initiator, known peroxide-based initiators, azo-based initiators, etc. can also be used, but it is necessary that the 10-hour half-life temperature of the polymerization initiator is 55°C or higher, and preferably 60 to 100'C, such as lauroyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, propionoyl peroxide, tertiary butyl peroxylaurate, dicumyl peroxide, ditertiary butyl peroxide, and tertiary butyl peroxide, etc. peroxide initiator, 2,2'-azobisisobutytetranitrile, 11'-azobis-1-cyclopentanonitrile, dimethyl-2,2'-azobisisobutyrate, 11'-
Examples include azo initiators such as azobiscyclohexanecarbonitrile, 4,4'-azobis-4-cyanobalate acid, and 2,2'-azobis-2-benzylpropionitrile. That is, the 10-hour half-life temperature is 5
If the temperature is less than 5°C, the heis of the obtained copolymer will increase rapidly, and a high polymerization rate will not be obtained, resulting in no improvement in heat resistance.

If the 10-hour half-life temperature exceeds 100°C, the obtained copolymer will be good, but special equipment such as pressure polymerization will be required as polymerization conditions, so a polymerization initiator with a temperature of 100°C or higher will be used. In this case, it is preferable to use it in combination with a temperature of 55°C or higher and lower than 100°C.

Note that the 10-hour half-life temperature of the radical polymerization initiator as used herein refers to the temperature at which the amount of the polymerization initiator in the benzene solvent becomes one-half in 10 hours at a constant temperature.

The polymerization temperature may be 60 to 150°C, which is the same as the temperature conditions for normal methyl methacrylate, but the polymerization temperature should be 5°C higher than the one with the lowest 10-hour half-life temperature among the polymerization initiators used. or higher temperature, preferably 5
It is necessary to polymerize at a temperature of -40°C or more, most preferably 10-25°C or more. If the temperature is lower than this, there will be disadvantages such as increased haze, decreased transparency, increased coloration, especially b value, and decreased heat resistance such as heat distortion temperature and Pickert softening point.

In addition, even if the above conditions are met, the type of polymerization initiator amount,
If the exothermic peak exceeds 3 hours due to the correlation between amount, temperature conditions, etc., haze and discoloration will increase, heat resistance and transparency will decrease, and this is not preferred from the viewpoint of industrial productivity. Therefore, the exothermic peak needs to occur within 3 hours, preferably α5 to 2.5 hours.

As a concrete method of implementing the present invention, maleic anhydride easily reacts with water and changes to maleic acid, making it difficult to enter the polymer, but even if it does enter, it does not contribute to improving heat resistance. Therefore, a polymerization method in a water-free system is required. Polymerization in a non-aqueous solvent is possible, but it requires a large amount of organic solvent and requires enormous costs for recovering the solvent and post-processing the polymer, so it is not preferred from an industrial standpoint, and bulk polymerization and Continuous bulk polymerization is the best.
