〔メタクリル樹脂(A)〕
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、メタクリル酸メチルに由来する構造単位を99質量%以上含有するものである。メタクリル樹脂(A)において、メタクリル酸メチルに由来する構造単位の含有量は、好ましくは99.5質量%以上、より好ましくは100質量%である。
ここで、「構造単位」はモノマーに由来するものであり、各構造単位の割合の計算には、連鎖移動剤、重合開始剤などのモノマー以外の成分は含まない。また、「構造単位」の割合は、4量体以上のメタクリル樹脂に基づき計算し、メタクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エステルなどの原料の単量体、二量体、三量体は構造単位の割合の計算において考慮しない。 [Methacrylic resin (A)]
The methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention contains 99% by mass or more of a structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate. In the methacrylic resin (A), the content of structural units derived from methyl methacrylate is preferably 99.5% by mass or more, and more preferably 100% by mass.
Here, the “structural unit” is derived from a monomer, and the calculation of the ratio of each structural unit does not include components other than the monomer such as a chain transfer agent and a polymerization initiator. In addition, the proportion of “structural units” is calculated based on a tetramer or higher methacrylic resin, and monomers, dimers and trimers of the raw materials such as methyl methacrylate and acrylic esters are proportions of structural units. Not considered in the calculation.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、メタクリル酸メチルに由来する構造単位を99質量%以上含有するものである。メタクリル樹脂(A)において、メタクリル酸メチルに由来する構造単位の含有量は、好ましくは99.5質量%以上、より好ましくは100質量%である。
ここで、「構造単位」はモノマーに由来するものであり、各構造単位の割合の計算には、連鎖移動剤、重合開始剤などのモノマー以外の成分は含まない。また、「構造単位」の割合は、4量体以上のメタクリル樹脂に基づき計算し、メタクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エステルなどの原料の単量体、二量体、三量体は構造単位の割合の計算において考慮しない。 [Methacrylic resin (A)]
The methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention contains 99% by mass or more of a structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate. In the methacrylic resin (A), the content of structural units derived from methyl methacrylate is preferably 99.5% by mass or more, and more preferably 100% by mass.
Here, the “structural unit” is derived from a monomer, and the calculation of the ratio of each structural unit does not include components other than the monomer such as a chain transfer agent and a polymerization initiator. In addition, the proportion of “structural units” is calculated based on a tetramer or higher methacrylic resin, and monomers, dimers and trimers of the raw materials such as methyl methacrylate and acrylic esters are proportions of structural units. Not considered in the calculation.
メタクリル酸メチルに由来する構造単位以外の構造単位としては、例えば、アクリル酸メチル、(メタ)アクリル酸エチル、(メタ)アクリル酸プロピル、(メタ)アクリル酸ブチル、(メタ)アクリル酸2-エチルへキシルなどの(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル;アクリル酸フェニルなどのアクリル酸アリールエステル;アクリル酸シクロへキシル、アクリル酸ノルボルネニルなどのアクリル酸シクロアルキルエステル;スチレン、α-メチルスチレンなどの芳香族ビニル化合物;アクリルアミド;メタクリルアミド;アクリロニトリル;メタクリロニトリル;などの一分子中に重合性の炭素-炭素二重結合を一つだけ有するビニル系単量体に由来する構造単位が挙げられる。これらの中で、共重合し易く、高い透明性を有する樹脂が得られるという点から、(メタ)アクリル酸エステルの構造単位が好ましい。本明細書において、「アクリル酸エステル」は、アクリル酸アルキルエステル、アクリル酸アリールエステル、アクリル酸シクロアルキルエステルを含む。
As structural units other than structural units derived from methyl methacrylate, for example, methyl acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, propyl (meth) acrylate, butyl (meth) acrylate, 2-ethyl (meth) acrylate (Meth) acrylic acid alkyl esters such as hexyl; aryl acrylates such as phenyl acrylate; acrylic acid cycloalkylates such as cyclohexyl acrylate and norbornenyl acrylate; aromatic vinyls such as styrene and α-methylstyrene Acrylamide; methacrylamide; acrylonitrile; methacrylonitrile; and the like. Examples include structural units derived from a vinyl-based monomer having only one polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond in one molecule. Among these, structural units of (meth) acrylic acid ester are preferable in that they are easily copolymerized and a resin having high transparency can be obtained. As used herein, "acrylic acid ester" includes acrylic acid alkyl ester, acrylic acid aryl ester, acrylic acid cycloalkyl ester.
メタクリル酸メチルに由来する構造単位以外の構造単位の含有量は1質量%以下が好ましく、0.5質量%以下がより好ましく、0.1質量%以下が最も好ましい。
The content of structural units other than structural units derived from methyl methacrylate is preferably 1% by mass or less, more preferably 0.5% by mass or less, and most preferably 0.1% by mass or less.
特に、アクリル酸エステルに由来する構造単位の含有量は、0質量%~1質量%である。好ましくは、0質量%、すなわち含有しないことが望ましい。アクリル酸エステルに由来する構造単位の含有量が1質量%超となると、メタクリル樹脂(A)の酸価が大きくなる傾向がある。
In particular, the content of the structural unit derived from the acrylic ester is 0% by mass to 1% by mass. Preferably, 0% by mass, that is, it is desirable not to contain. When the content of the structural unit derived from the acrylic ester exceeds 1% by mass, the acid value of the methacrylic resin (A) tends to increase.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、三連子表示のシンジオタクティシティ(rr)がX%であり、重量平均分子量がYであり、残存するメタクリル酸メチルの量がメタクリル樹脂(A)中にZ質量%であり、残存する連鎖移動剤の量がメタクリル樹脂(A)中にWppm以下である際に、式:X・Y/(10000・Z・W)で算出される値が、20以上30以下、好ましくは21以上29以下である。式:X・Y/(10000・Z・W)で算出される値が小さい場合、耐熱性が低く、得られるフィルムの耐衝撃性および靭性が低くなる傾向がある。式:X・Y/(10000・Z・W)で算出される値が大きい場合、成形加工性が悪く、耐熱分解性が低くなる傾向がある。
In the methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention, the syndiotacticity (rr) in ternary notation is X%, the weight average molecular weight is Y, and the amount of methyl methacrylate remaining in the methacrylic resin (A) is The value calculated by the formula: X · Y / (10000 · Z · W) is 20 when the amount of remaining chain transfer agent is W ppm or less in the methacrylic resin (A). 30 or more, preferably 21 or more and 29 or less. When the value calculated by the formula: X · Y / (10000 · Z · W) is small, the heat resistance tends to be low, and the impact resistance and the toughness of the obtained film tend to be low. If the value calculated by the formula: X · Y / (10000 · Z · W) is large, the moldability tends to be poor and the thermal decomposition resistance tends to be low.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、三連子表示のシンジオタクティシティ(rr)が、55%~60%であり、好ましくは56%~59%または55%~58%である。シンジオタクティシティが60%より大きいと、メタクリル樹脂のガラス転移温度が高くなる一方、耐熱分解が低下するだけでなく、成形加工温度を高く設定しなければならないため発泡し易くなる。一方、シンジオタクティシティが55%未満であると、ガラス転移温度が低く、耐熱性の低い樹脂になってしまう。
The methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention has a syndiotacticity (rr) of triad indication of 55% to 60%, preferably 56% to 59% or 55% to 58%. If the syndiotacticity is more than 60%, the glass transition temperature of the methacrylic resin will be high, and the thermal decomposition will not only decrease, but the molding processing temperature must be set high, and the resin will be easily foamed. On the other hand, when the syndiotacticity is less than 55%, the glass transition temperature is low and the resin becomes low in heat resistance.
ここで、三連子表示のシンジオタクティシティ(rr)について説明する。ポリマー分子中の構造単位の連鎖(2連子、diad)において立体配置が同じものをメソ(meso)、逆のものをラセモ(racemo)と称し、それぞれm、rと表記する。連続する3つの構造単位の連鎖(3連子、triad)が有する2つの連鎖(2連子、diad)が、ともにラセモ(rrと表記する)である割合が、三連子表示のシンジオタクティシティ(rr)(以下、単に「シンジオタクティシティ(rr)」と称する)である。
Here, syndiotacticity (rr) displayed in triples will be described. In the chain of structural units in a polymer molecule (biid, diad), those having the same configuration are referred to as meso and the opposite is referred to as racemo, and they are denoted by m and r, respectively. A syndiotacticity in which a ratio in which two chains (bi-dim, diad) of three successive structural units (tri-d, triad) are both racemo (denoted as rr) is represented by a triad It is a city (rr) (hereinafter simply referred to as "syndiotacticity (rr)").
三連子表示のシンジオタクティシティ(rr)(%)は、重水素化クロロホルム中、30℃で、1H-NMRスペクトルを測定し、そのスペクトルからTMSを0ppmとした際の、0.6~0.95ppmの領域の面積(P)と0.6~1.35ppmの領域の面積(Q)とを計測し、式:(P/Q)×100にて算出した値である。
The syndiotacticity (rr) (%) in ternary notation is measured at 30 ° C. in deuterated chloroform, and the 1 H-NMR spectrum is measured. The area (P) of the region of ̃0.95 ppm and the area (Q) of the region of 0.6−1.35 ppm are measured, and the value is calculated by the formula: (P / Q) × 100.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、重量平均分子量(以下、「Mw」と称する)が好ましくは50000~150000、より好ましくは55000~120000、さらに好ましくは57000~100000である。かかるMwが50000以上であることで得られるフィルムは耐衝撃性および靭性に優れる傾向となる。150000以下であることでメタクリル樹脂の成形加工性が高まるので、得られるフィルムの厚さが均一で且つ表面平滑性に優れる傾向となる。また、メタクリル樹脂(A)を連続塊状重合で生産する場合、重合の制御のし易さの観点から、Mwは100000以下であることが好ましい。
The methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention preferably has a weight average molecular weight (hereinafter referred to as "Mw") of 50000 to 150000, more preferably 55000 to 120000, and still more preferably 57000 to 100000. A film obtained when the Mw is 50,000 or more tends to be excellent in impact resistance and toughness. When the molecular weight is 150000 or less, the molding processability of the methacrylic resin is enhanced, so that the thickness of the obtained film tends to be uniform and the surface smoothness is excellent. Moreover, when manufacturing methacrylic resin (A) by continuous block polymerization, it is preferable that Mw is 100000 or less from a viewpoint of the easiness of control of superposition | polymerization.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、Mwと数平均分子量(以下、「Mn」と称する)の比(Mw/Mn:以下、この値を「分子量分布」と称する)が、好ましくは1.2~2.5、より好ましくは1.5~2.0である。分子量分布が1.2以上であることでメタクリル樹脂の流動性が向上し、得られるフィルムは表面平滑性に優れる傾向となり、2.5以下であることで得られるフィルムは耐衝撃性および靭性に優れる傾向となる。なお、MwおよびMnは、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィ(GPC)で測定したクロマトグラムを標準ポリスチレンの分子量に換算した値である。
In the methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention, the ratio of Mw to number average molecular weight (hereinafter referred to as “Mn”) (Mw / Mn: hereinafter referred to as “molecular weight distribution”) is preferably 1.2. It is -2.5, more preferably 1.5-2.0. When the molecular weight distribution is 1.2 or more, the flowability of the methacrylic resin is improved, and the obtained film tends to be excellent in surface smoothness, and the film obtained by being 2.5 or less has impact resistance and toughness. It tends to be superior. Mw and Mn are values obtained by converting the chromatogram measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) into the molecular weight of standard polystyrene.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、JIS K7210に準拠して、230℃、3.8kg荷重の条件において測定される、メルトフローレートが、好ましくは0.1g/10分以上、より好ましくは0.5~30g/10分、さらに好ましくは1.0~20g/10分、最も好ましくは1.1~5g/10分である。
The methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention preferably has a melt flow rate of 0.1 g / 10 min or more, more preferably 0, which is measured at 230 ° C. under a load of 3.8 kg in accordance with JIS K 7210. 0.5 to 30 g / 10 min, more preferably 1.0 to 20 g / 10 min, and most preferably 1.1 to 5 g / 10 min.
本発明の1つの好ましい実施形態において、メタクリル樹脂(A)のガラス転移温度は、次式を満たすものである。
In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the glass transition temperature of the methacrylic resin (A) satisfies the following formula.
Mw≧70,000のときTg(℃)≧121
Mw<70,000のときTg(℃)≧131-(700000/Mw)。 Tg (° C.) ≧ 121 when Mw ≧ 70,000
Tg (° C.) ≧ 131− (700000 / Mw) when Mw <70,000.
Mw<70,000のときTg(℃)≧131-(700000/Mw)。 Tg (° C.) ≧ 121 when Mw ≧ 70,000
Tg (° C.) ≧ 131− (700000 / Mw) when Mw <70,000.
本発明の他の好ましい実施形態において、メタクリル樹脂(A)のガラス転移温度は、好ましくは120℃以上、より好ましくは121℃以上、さらに好ましくは122℃以上である。該メタクリル樹脂のガラス転移温度の上限は通常125℃以下であり、好ましくは124℃以下、より好ましくは123℃以下である。ガラス転移温度は、分子量やシンジオタクティシティ(rr)を調節することによって制御することができる。ガラス転移温度がこの範囲にあると、得られるフィルムの熱収縮などの変形が起こり難く、フィルム等の成形体の成形時における樹脂の熱分解を抑制しやすい。
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the glass transition temperature of the methacrylic resin (A) is preferably 120 ° C. or more, more preferably 121 ° C. or more, still more preferably 122 ° C. or more. The upper limit of the glass transition temperature of the methacrylic resin is usually 125 ° C. or less, preferably 124 ° C. or less, more preferably 123 ° C. or less. The glass transition temperature can be controlled by adjusting the molecular weight and syndiotacticity (rr). When the glass transition temperature is in this range, deformation such as thermal contraction of the obtained film hardly occurs, and thermal decomposition of the resin at the time of molding of a molded article such as a film is easily suppressed.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)の酢酸換算の酸価は、耐熱分解性が良好であるという観点から40ppm以下であり、好ましくは30ppm以下、より好ましくは20ppm以下である。酢酸換算の酸価が高すぎる場合、耐熱分解性に劣るだけでなく、成形時に他の化合物と反応してゲルなどを発生させ、成形体のブツ欠点になる恐れがあり、好ましくない。
The acid value of acetic acid conversion of the methacrylic resin (A) of the present invention is 40 ppm or less, preferably 30 ppm or less, more preferably 20 ppm or less from the viewpoint of good thermal decomposition resistance. If the acid value in terms of acetic acid is too high, it is not only inferior in thermal decomposition resistance, but also reacts with other compounds at the time of molding to generate gel and the like, which may cause a defect of the molded article, which is not preferable.
酸価の評価は、JIS K 0070:1992の酸価をKOH換算ではなく酢酸量に換算した後、メタクリル樹脂(A)の重量に対して含有している酢酸量として算出した値である。具体的には実施例に記載の方法で測定すればよい。
The evaluation of the acid value is a value calculated as the amount of acetic acid contained with respect to the weight of the methacrylic resin (A) after converting the acid value of JIS K 0070: 1992 into the amount of acetic acid instead of KOH conversion. Specifically, it may be measured by the method described in the examples.

熱重量保持率の測定は、熱重量測定装置(島津製作所製、TGA)を用いて、空気雰囲気下、メタクリル樹脂(A)を、乾燥空気の流速50ml/分にて、50℃から290℃まで20℃/分で昇温させた後、空気雰囲気下のまま290℃にて10分間保持する条件にて熱重量減少を測定すればよい。例えば50℃の重量(X1)を基準(保持率100%)にして、290℃にて10分間保持した時の重量(X2)をもとに、下記式で耐熱分解性を評価できる。熱重量保持率が高いほど耐熱分解性が高いと言える。
The measurement of the thermal weight retention ratio is from 50 ° C. to 290 ° C. at a flow rate of 50 ml / min of the dry air at a flow rate of 50 ml / min of the methacrylic resin (A) under an air atmosphere using a thermogravimetric measurement device (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, TGA). After the temperature is raised at 20 ° C./min, the thermal weight loss may be measured under the condition of maintaining at 290 ° C. for 10 minutes as it is in the air atmosphere. For example, based on the weight (X1) of 50 ° C. (retention 100%), the heat decomposition resistance can be evaluated by the following equation based on the weight (X2) when held at 290 ° C. for 10 minutes. It can be said that the higher the thermal weight retention, the higher the thermal decomposition resistance.
熱重量保持率(%)=(X2/X1)×100(%)
メタクリル樹脂(A)の製造方法は、着色が少なく、酸価が小さく、耐熱分解性が良好で、また生産性が良好であるという観点から、ラジカル重合法が好ましい。 Thermal weight retention (%) = (X2 / X1) x 100 (%)

メタクリル樹脂(A)の製造のためのラジカル重合法において用いられる重合開始剤は、反応性ラジカルを発生するものであれば特に限定されない。例えば、t-ヘキシルパーオキシイソプロピルモノカーボネート、t-ヘキシルパーオキシ2-エチルヘキサノエート、1,1,3,3-テトラメチルブチルパーオキシ2-エチルヘキサノエート、t-ブチルパーオキシピバレート、t-ヘキシルパーオキシピバレート、t-ブチルパーオキシネオデカノエ-ト、t-ヘキシルパーオキシネオデカノエ-ト、1,1,3,3-テトラメチルブチルパーオキシネオデカノエート、1,1-ビス(t-ヘキシルパーオキシ)シクロヘキサン、ベンゾイルパーオキシド、3,5,5-トリメチルヘキサノイルパーオキサイド、ラウロイルパーオキサイド、2,2’-アゾビス(2-メチルプロピオニトリル)、2,2’-アゾビス(2-メチルブチロニトリル)、ジメチル2,2’-アゾビス(2-メチルプロピオネート)などが挙げられる。これらのうち、t-ヘキシルパーオキシ2-エチルヘキサノエート、1,1-ビス(t-ヘキシルパーオキシ)シクロヘキサン、ジメチル2,2’-アゾビス(2-メチルプロピオネート)が好ましい。
The polymerization initiator used in the radical polymerization method for producing the methacrylic resin (A) is not particularly limited as long as it generates reactive radicals. For example, t-hexylperoxyisopropyl monocarbonate, t-hexylperoxy 2-ethylhexanoate, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutylperoxy 2-ethylhexanoate, t-butylperoxypivalate T-Hexylperoxypivalate, t-butylperoxyneodecanoate, t-hexylperoxyneodecanoate, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutylperoxyneodecanoate, 1 1,1-Bis (t-hexylperoxy) cyclohexane, benzoyl peroxide, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, 2,2'-azobis (2-methylpropionitrile), 2, 2'-azobis (2-methylbutyronitrile), dimethyl 2,2'-azobis (2 Methyl propionate) and the like. Among these, t-hexylperoxy 2-ethylhexanoate, 1,1-bis (t-hexylperoxy) cyclohexane and dimethyl 2,2'-azobis (2-methylpropionate) are preferable.
かかる重合開始剤の1時間半減期温度は好ましくは60~140℃、より好ましくは80~120℃である。また、メタクリル樹脂(A)の製造のために用いられる重合開始剤は、水素引抜き能が、好ましくは20%以下、より好ましくは10%以下、さらに好ましくは5%以下である。このような重合開始剤は1種を単独でまたは2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。重合開始剤の使用量は、重合反応に供される単量体100質量部に対して好ましくは0.0001~0.02質量部、より好ましくは0.001~0.01質量部、さらに好ましくは0.005~0.007質量部である。
The one-hour half-life temperature of such a polymerization initiator is preferably 60 to 140 ° C., more preferably 80 to 120 ° C. The polymerization initiator used for producing the methacrylic resin (A) preferably has a hydrogen extraction ability of 20% or less, more preferably 10% or less, and still more preferably 5% or less.

なお、水素引抜き能は重合開始剤製造業者の技術資料(例えば日本油脂株式会社技術資料「有機過酸化物の水素引抜き能と開始剤効率」(2003年4月作成))などによって知ることができる。また、α-メチルスチレンダイマーを使用したラジカルトラッピング法、即ちα-メチルスチレンダイマートラッピング法によって測定することができる。当該測定は、一般に、次のようにして行われる。まず、ラジカルトラッピング剤としてのα-メチルスチレンダイマーの共存下で重合開始剤を開裂させてラジカル断片を生成させる。生成したラジカル断片のうち、水素引抜き能が低いラジカル断片はα-メチルスチレンダイマーの二重結合に付加して捕捉される。一方、水素引抜き能が高いラジカル断片はシクロヘキサンから水素を引き抜き、シクロヘキシルラジカルを発生させ、該シクロヘキシルラジカルがα-メチルスチレンダイマーの二重結合に付加して捕捉され、シクロヘキサン捕捉生成物を生成する。そこで、シクロヘキサン、またはシクロヘキサン捕捉生成物を定量することで求められる、理論的なラジカル断片発生量に対する水素引抜き能が高いラジカル断片の割合(モル分率)を水素引抜き能とする。
In addition, hydrogen extraction ability can be known from the technical data of polymerization initiator manufacturer (for example, Nippon Oil and Fats Co., Ltd. technical data "Hydrogen extraction ability and initiator efficiency of organic peroxide" (prepared in April 2003) etc. . Also, it can be measured by a radical trapping method using α-methylstyrene dimer, ie, α-methylstyrene dimer trapping method. The said measurement is generally performed as follows. First, the polymerization initiator is cleaved in the coexistence of α-methylstyrene dimer as a radical trapping agent to form radical fragments. Among the generated radical fragments, radical fragments having low hydrogen abstraction ability are captured by being attached to the double bond of α-methylstyrene dimer. On the other hand, radical fragments having high hydrogen abstraction ability abstract hydrogen from cyclohexane to generate cyclohexyl radicals, and the cyclohexyl radicals are added and captured to the double bond of α-methylstyrene dimer to form a cyclohexane capture product. Therefore, the hydrogen extraction ability is defined as the ratio (molar fraction) of radical fragments having a high hydrogen extraction ability to the theoretical amount of radical fragment generation, which is determined by quantifying cyclohexane or a cyclohexane scavenging product.

Among these, monofunctional alkyl mercaptans such as n-octyl mercaptan and n-dodecyl mercaptan are preferable. These chain transfer agents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
かかる連鎖移動剤の使用量は重合反応に供される単量体100質量部に対して好ましくは0.1~1質量部、より好ましくは0.15~0.8質量部、さらに好ましくは0.2~0.6質量部、最も好ましくは0.2~0.5質量部である。また、該連鎖移動剤の使用量は、重合開始剤100質量部に対して好ましくは2500~10000質量部、より好ましくは3000~9000質量部、さらに好ましくは3500~6000質量部である。連鎖移動剤の使用量を上記範囲にすると、得られるメタクリル樹脂(A)は良好な成形加工性と高い力学強度を有する傾向となる。
The amount of the chain transfer agent used is preferably 0.1 to 1 part by mass, more preferably 0.15 to 0.8 parts by mass, still more preferably 0 based on 100 parts by mass of the monomer to be subjected to the polymerization reaction. 2 to 0.6 parts by weight, most preferably 0.2 to 0.5 parts by weight. The amount of the chain transfer agent used is preferably 2500 to 10000 parts by mass, more preferably 3000 to 9000 parts by mass, and still more preferably 3500 to 6000 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polymerization initiator. When the amount of chain transfer agent used is in the above range, the resulting methacrylic resin (A) tends to have good moldability and high mechanical strength.
重合反応時の温度は好ましくは80~115℃、より好ましくは90~110℃、さらにより好ましくは95~105℃である。重合温度が80℃以上であることで、重合速度の向上、重合液の低粘度化などに起因して生産性が向上する傾向となる。また重合温度が115℃以下であることで、重合速度の制御が容易になり、さらに副生成物の生成が抑制され、また所望のガラス転移温度を有するメタクリル樹脂が得られる。重合反応時の温度は反応機のジャケットの温度や、重合率によって制御することができる。
The temperature during the polymerization reaction is preferably 80 to 115 ° C., more preferably 90 to 110 ° C., and even more preferably 95 to 105 ° C. When the polymerization temperature is 80 ° C. or higher, productivity tends to be improved due to the improvement of the polymerization rate, the decrease in viscosity of the polymerization solution, and the like. Further, when the polymerization temperature is 115 ° C. or less, the control of the polymerization rate is facilitated, the formation of by-products is suppressed, and a methacrylic resin having a desired glass transition temperature can be obtained. The temperature at the time of the polymerization reaction can be controlled by the temperature of the reactor jacket and the polymerization rate.
重合反応の時間は好ましくは0.5~4時間、より好ましくは1.5~3.5時間、さらに好ましくは1.5~3時間である。なお、連続流通式反応装置の場合は、かかる重合反応の時間は反応器における平均滞留時間である。重合反応時の温度および重合反応の時間が上記範囲にあると、透明性に優れたメタクリル樹脂(A)を高効率で生産できる。
The polymerization reaction time is preferably 0.5 to 4 hours, more preferably 1.5 to 3.5 hours, and still more preferably 1.5 to 3 hours. In the case of a continuous flow reactor, the polymerization reaction time is the average residence time in the reactor.

メタクリル樹脂(A)の製造のためのラジカル重合法における重合転化率は、好ましくは20~70質量%、より好ましくは30~60質量%、さらに好ましくは35~55質量%である。重合転化率が20質量%以上であることで、揮発分の除去工程を設けた場合において、残存する未反応単量体の除去が容易となり、得られるメタクリル樹脂が発泡し難く、得られる成形体の外観が良好となる傾向がある。重合転化率が70質量%以下であることで、重合液の粘度が低くなり生産性が向上する傾向がある。
The polymerization conversion in the radical polymerization method for producing the methacrylic resin (A) is preferably 20 to 70% by mass, more preferably 30 to 60% by mass, and still more preferably 35 to 55% by mass. When the conversion rate of polymerization is at least 20% by mass, removal of the remaining unreacted monomer is facilitated when the volatile matter removal step is provided, and the resulting methacrylic resin is difficult to foam, and a molded article obtained The appearance of the tends to be good. When the polymerization conversion rate is 70% by mass or less, the viscosity of the polymerization solution tends to be low, and the productivity tends to be improved.
ラジカル重合は回分式反応装置を用いて行ってもよいが、生産性の観点から連続流通式反応装置を用いて行うことが好ましい。連続流通式反応では、例えば窒素雰囲気下などで重合反応原料(単量体、重合開始剤、連鎖移動剤などを含む混合液)を調製し、それを反応器に一定流量で供給し、該供給量に相当する流量で反応器内の液を抜き出す。反応器として、栓流に近い状態にすることができる管型反応器および/または完全混合に近い状態にすることができる槽型反応器を用いることができる。また、1基の反応器で連続流通式の重合を行ってもよいし、2基以上の反応器を繋いで連続流通式の重合を行ってもよい。本発明においては少なくとも1基は連続流通式の槽型反応器を採用することが好ましい。重合反応時における槽型反応器内の液量は、槽型反応器の容積に対して好ましくは1/4~3/4、より好ましくは1/3~2/3である。反応器には通常、撹拌装置が取り付けられている。撹拌装置としては静的撹拌装置、動的撹拌装置が挙げられる。動的撹拌装置としては、マックスブレンド式撹拌装置、中央に配した縦型回転軸の回りを回転する格子状の翼を有する撹拌装置、プロペラ式撹拌装置、スクリュー式撹拌装置などが挙げられる。これらのうちでマックスブレンド式撹拌装置が均一混合性の点から好ましく用いられる。
The radical polymerization may be carried out using a batch reactor, but from the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferable to carry out using a continuous flow reactor. In the continuous flow reaction, for example, a polymerization reaction raw material (a mixed solution containing a monomer, a polymerization initiator, a chain transfer agent, etc.) is prepared under a nitrogen atmosphere or the like, and supplied to the reactor at a constant flow rate. The liquid in the reactor is withdrawn at a flow rate corresponding to the volume. As a reactor, a tubular reactor which can be brought into a state close to a plug flow and / or a tank reactor which can be brought into a state close to complete mixing can be used. Further, continuous flow polymerization may be performed in one reactor, or continuous flow polymerization may be performed by connecting two or more reactors. In the present invention, it is preferable to adopt a continuous flow type tank reactor for at least one unit. The liquid volume in the tank reactor at the time of the polymerization reaction is preferably 1/4 to 3/4, more preferably 1/3 to 2/3, with respect to the volume of the tank reactor. The reactor is usually fitted with a stirrer. As a stirring apparatus, a static stirring apparatus and a dynamic stirring apparatus are mentioned. Examples of the dynamic stirring device include a Max-blend type stirring device, a stirring device having a grid-like blade rotating around a vertical rotation shaft disposed at the center, a propeller type stirring device, a screw type stirring device and the like. Among these, the Max Blend type stirring apparatus is preferably used from the viewpoint of uniform mixing.
重合終了後、必要に応じて、単量体、二量体、三量体、連鎖移動剤等の揮発分を除去する。除去方法は特に制限されないが、加熱脱揮が好ましい。脱揮法としては、平衡フラッシュ方式や断熱フラッシュ方式が挙げられる。断熱フラッシュ方式による脱揮温度は、好ましくは200~270℃、より好ましくは220~260℃である。断熱フラッシュ方式で樹脂を加熱する時間は、好ましくは0.3~5分間、より好ましくは0.4~3分間、さらに好ましくは0.5~2分間である。このような温度範囲および加熱時間で脱揮させると、着色の少なく、酸価の少ないメタクリル樹脂(A)を得やすい。除去した未反応単量体は、回収して、再び重合反応に使用することができる。回収された単量体のイエロインデックスは回収操作時などに加えられる熱によって高くなっていることがある。回収された単量体は、蒸留やカラムによる吸着精製など適切な方法で精製して、酸価およびイエロインデックスを小さくすることが好ましい。
After completion of the polymerization, volatiles such as monomers, dimers, trimers and chain transfer agents are removed as required. The removal method is not particularly limited, but heat degassing is preferred. The volatilization method may, for example, be an equilibrium flash method or an adiabatic flash method. The volatilization temperature by the adiabatic flash method is preferably 200 to 270 ° C., more preferably 220 to 260 ° C. The heating time of the resin in the adiabatic flush method is preferably 0.3 to 5 minutes, more preferably 0.4 to 3 minutes, and still more preferably 0.5 to 2 minutes. By degassing in such a temperature range and heating time, it is easy to obtain a methacrylic resin (A) having a small color and a small acid value. The unreacted monomers removed can be recovered and used again for the polymerization reaction. The yellow index of the recovered monomer may be high due to the heat applied during the recovery operation and the like. The recovered monomer is preferably purified by an appropriate method such as distillation or adsorption purification using a column to reduce the acid value and the yellow index.
また、前記重合後に得られた重合体と単量体、二量体、三量体、連鎖移動剤等の揮発分を含む樹脂混合物を、前記反応器から、ベントを備えた二軸押出機に連続的に移送することができる。続いて、二軸押出機入り口により平衡フラッシュまたは断熱フラッシュさせ、さらにそれに続いて二軸押出機ベントにより脱揮を行うことができる。
Also, from the reactor, a resin mixture containing volatile matter such as polymer, monomer, dimer, trimer, chain transfer agent, etc. obtained after the polymerization is transferred from the reactor to a twin-screw extruder equipped with a vent. It can be transported continuously. This can be followed by equilibration or adiabatic flush at the twin screw extruder inlet, followed by devolatilization via the twin screw extruder vent.
前記の断熱フラッシュにおける、フラッシュ直前の樹脂溶融体の圧力は、好ましくは1.5~3.0MPa、より好ましくは2.0~2.5MPaである。1.5MPa未満ではフラッシュが不十分となり、残存単量体が多くなる傾向がある。逆に3.0MPaを超えると安定生産を得難くなる傾向がある。
The pressure of the resin melt immediately before the flash in the adiabatic flash is preferably 1.5 to 3.0 MPa, more preferably 2.0 to 2.5 MPa. If the pressure is less than 1.5 MPa, the flash tends to be insufficient and the amount of residual monomers tends to be large. On the other hand, when the pressure exceeds 3.0 MPa, stable production tends to be difficult to obtain.
本発明に用いられる二軸押出機はベントを備えるものであることが好ましい。ベントは真空ベントまたはオープンベントであることが好ましい。ベントは重合体流入部より下流側に少なくとも1個設ける。なお、真空ベントにおける圧力は、30Torr以下が好ましく、15Torr以下がより好ましく、9Torr以下がさらに好ましく、6Torr以下がもっとも好ましい。該真空ベントにおける圧力が上記範囲内であれば、脱揮効率がよく、メタクリル樹脂(A)中に残存する単量体、二量体、三量体、連鎖移動剤等を少なくすることができる。
The twin-screw extruder used in the present invention is preferably equipped with a vent. The vent is preferably a vacuum vent or an open vent. At least one vent is provided downstream of the polymer inflow portion. The pressure in the vacuum vent is preferably 30 Torr or less, more preferably 15 Torr or less, still more preferably 9 Torr or less, and most preferably 6 Torr or less. If the pressure in the vacuum vent is within the above range, the degassing efficiency is good, and monomers, dimers, trimers, chain transfer agents, etc. remaining in the methacrylic resin (A) can be reduced. .
前記二軸押出機のスクリューは、同方向二軸スクリューであることが好ましい。単軸の場合に比べ、樹脂に与えるせん断エネルギーが大きく、表面更新の程度が大きいことから脱揮を効率良く行えるため、残存する未反応単量体、二量体、三量体等を少なくできる。またそのスクリュー構成はスクリュー全長に対して5%以上の混練セグメント部位を有していることが好ましい。混練セグメントとしては、ロータセグメント、正送りニーディングディスク、逆送りニーディングディスク、ミキシングギアなどが挙げられる。
The screw of the twin screw extruder is preferably a co-directional twin screw. The shear energy applied to the resin is greater than in the single-axial case, and the degree of surface renewal is large, so degassing can be performed efficiently, so that the amount of remaining unreacted monomers, dimers, trimers, etc. can be reduced. . Moreover, it is preferable that the screw configuration has a kneading segment portion of 5% or more with respect to the total screw length. The kneading segment may, for example, be a rotor segment, a forward feed kneading disc, a reverse feed kneading disc, a mixing gear or the like.
前記二軸押出機のシリンダ加熱温度は、200~270℃が好ましく、220~260℃がより好ましく、230~250℃がさらに好ましい。210℃未満では脱揮に時間を要し、脱揮不十分になりやすい。脱揮が不十分なときには成形体にシルバーなどの外観不良を起こすことがある。逆に270℃を超えると、メタクリル樹脂(A)において末端二重結合量が多くなり、また酸価を増大させ、耐熱分解性を確保する事が困難となる。また、前述の二量体および三量体の生成が多くなることもある。
The cylinder heating temperature of the twin-screw extruder is preferably 200 to 270 ° C., more preferably 220 to 260 ° C., and still more preferably 230 to 250 ° C. If it is less than 210 ° C., it takes a long time to degas, and the degassing tends to be insufficient. When degassing is insufficient, appearance defects such as silver may occur on the molded body. Conversely, if the temperature exceeds 270 ° C., the amount of terminal double bonds in the methacrylic resin (A) increases, and the acid value increases, making it difficult to ensure the thermal decomposition resistance. Also, the formation of the aforementioned dimers and trimers may be increased.
本発明のメタクリル樹脂(A)は、メタクリル樹脂のみからなることが好ましいが、実際にはメタクリル樹脂(A)として得た場合に、製造条件に起因する他の任意成分が微量存在していることがある。この製造条件に起因する他の成分としては、未反応単量体、二量体、三量体、連鎖移動剤などが挙げられる。本明細書では、これら他の成分を含有したものも含めて、便宜上、メタクリル樹脂(A)と称する。
