Abstract
Description
このような熱膨張性マイクロカプセルとしては、熱可塑性シェルポリマーの中に、シェルポリマーの軟化点以下の温度でガス状になる揮発性膨張剤が内包されているものが広く知られており、例えば、特許文献1には、低沸点の脂肪族炭化水素等の揮発性膨張剤をモノマーと混合した油性混合液を、油溶性重合触媒とともに分散剤を含有する水系分散媒体中に攪拌しながら添加し懸濁重合を行うことにより、揮発性膨張剤を内包する熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを製造する方法が開示されている。
また、特許文献3には、ニトリル系モノマー80重量%以上、非ニトリル系モノマー20重量%以下及び架橋剤0.1~1重量%を含有する重合成分から得られるポリマーを用い、揮発性膨張剤を内包させた熱膨張性マイクロカプセルにおいて、非ニトリル系モノマーがメタクリル酸エステル類又はアクリル酸エステル類である熱膨張性マイクロカプセルが開示されている。
このような熱膨張性マイクロカプセルでは、最大発泡温度が非常に高い値となっているものの、その後の膨張した状態を維持することができず、高温領域における長時間の使用は困難であった。
しかしながら、このような方法を用いた場合であっても、依然として耐熱性や強度には課題があり、射出成形等の成形後の発泡倍率には限界があった。
従って、優れた耐熱性と発泡倍率を有し、強い剪断力が加えられる混練成形、カレンダー成形、押出成形、射出成形等に使用する場合であっても、へたり等が生じにくく、好適に使用することが可能な熱膨張性マイクロカプセルが必要とされていた。
また、別の態様の本発明は、重合体からなるシェルに、コア剤として揮発性膨張剤が内包された熱膨張性マイクロカプセルであって、温度200℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)が1×105N/m2以上、温度250℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)が1×105N/m2以上であり、かつ、温度200℃で1分加熱した際の発泡倍率が体積で20倍以上である熱膨張性マイクロカプセルである。
以下に本発明を詳述する。
上記温度200℃及び250℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)が、1×105N/m2未満であると、高温領域において、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルに破裂や収縮が生じ、混練成形、カレンダー成形、押出成形、射出成形等に好適に使用することができない。上記温度200℃及び250℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)の好ましい下限は106N/m2である。上記温度200℃及び250℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)の上限については特に限定されないが、好ましい上限は107N/m2である。シェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)の好ましい上限を超えるとシェルが硬くなりすぎて発泡性能が落ち、熱機械分析で測定された最大変位量が300μm以上にならないことがある。
なお、上記温度200℃及び250℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)は、本発明の熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを構成するシェルのみをシート状の試験片とし、動的粘弾性測定装置を用い、引張法にて測定することができる。
なお、上記最大変位量は、所定量の熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを常温から加熱しながらその径を測定したときに、所定量全体の熱膨張性マイクロカプセルの径が最大となるときの値をいう。
また、発泡開始温度(Ts)の好ましい上限は180℃である。180℃を超えると特に射出成形の場合、金型に樹脂材料をフル充填した後に金型を発泡させたいところまで開くコアバック発泡成形においては、コアバック発泡過程で樹脂温度が冷えてしまい発泡倍率が上がらないことがある。より好ましい下限は130℃、好ましい上限は160℃である。
なお、本明細書において、最大発泡温度は、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを常温から加熱しながらその径を測定したときに、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルが最大変位量となったときにおける温度を意味する。
なお、上記温度200℃、周波数10Hz及び0.01Hzにおけるシェルの損失弾性率(G’’)に対する貯蔵弾性率(G’)の比tanδは、例えば、本発明の熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを構成するシェルのみを熱プレス機でシート状の試験片とし、パラレルプレート型の回転振動型レオメーターを用い、剪断法にて測定することができる。
上記温度200℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(G’)が1×105N/m2未満、周波数0.01Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(G’)が1×104N/m2未満であると、高温領域において、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルに破裂や収縮が生じ、混練成形、カレンダー成形、押出成形、射出成形等に好適に使用することができないことがある。上記温度200℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率のより好ましい下限は106N/m2である。上記温度200℃、周波数0.01Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(G’)のより好ましい下限は105N/m2である。上記温度200℃、周波数10Hz及び0.01Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(G’)の上限については熱機械分析で測定した最大変位量が300μm以上であれば特に限定されない。
なお、上記温度200℃、周波数10Hz及び0.01Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率は、本発明の熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを構成するシェルのみを熱プレス機でシート状の試験片とし、パラレルプレート型の回転振動型レオメーターを用い、剪断法にて測定することができる。
なお、本明細書において、特に本発明と別の態様の本発明とを区別する必要がない場合は、単に本発明ということとする。
好ましくは30倍以上である。
なお、上記架橋度は、溶剤と混合させた時の熱膨張マイクロカプセルのポリマー中における未溶解物の重量%であり、アクリロニトリルポリマーを溶解する溶剤であるN,N-ジメチルホルムアミドを使用し、未溶解物の重量%を測定することにより確認することができる。
上記重合性モノマー(I)を添加することで、シェルのガスバリア性を向上させることができる。
上記金属カチオン水酸化物(IV)を含有することで、上記ラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸モノマー(II)のカルボキシル基との間でイオン結合が起こることから、剛性が上がり、耐熱性を高くすることが可能となる。特に温度200℃、周波数10Hzにおけるシェルの貯蔵弾性率(E’)や貯蔵弾性率(G’)を高めることができる。その結果、高温領域において長時間破裂、収縮の起こらない熱膨張性マイクロカプセルとすることが可能となる。また、高温領域においてもシェルの弾性率が低下しにくいことから、強い剪断力が加えられる混練成形、カレンダー成形、押出成形、射出成形等の成形加工を行う場合であっても、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルの破裂、収縮が起こることがない。
上記重合開始剤としては、例えば、過酸化ジアルキル、過酸化ジアシル、パーオキシエステル、パーオキシジカーボネート、アゾ化合物等が好適に用いられる。具体例には、例えば、メチルエチルパーオキサイド、ジ-t-ブチルパーオキサイド、ジクミルパーオキサイド等の過酸化ジアルキル、イソブチルパーオキサイド、ベンゾイルパーオキサイド、2,4-ジクロロベンゾイルパーオキサイド、3,5,5-トリメチルヘキサノイルパーオキサイド等の過酸化ジアシル、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ート、t-ヘキシルパーオキシネオデカノエート、1-シクロヘキシル-1-メチルエチルパーオキシネオデカノエート、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、クミルパーオキシネオデカノエート、(α,α-ビス-ネオデカノイルパーオキシ)ジイソプロピルベンゼン等のパーオキシエステル、ビス(4-t-ブチルシクロヘキシル)パーオキシジカーボネート、ジ-n-プロピル-オキシジカーボネート、ジイソプロピルパーオキシジカーボネート、ジ(2-エチルエチルパーオキシ)ジカーボネート、ジメトキシブチルパーオキシジカーボネート、ジ(3-メチル-3-メトキシブチルパーオキシ)ジカーボネート等のパーオキシジカーボネート、2,2’-アゾビスイソブチロニトリル、2,2’-アゾビス(4-メトキシ-2,4-ジメチルバレロニトリル、2,2’-アゾビス(2,4-ジメチルバレロニトリル)、1,1’-アゾビス(1-シクロヘキサンカルボニトリル)等のアゾ化合物等が挙げられる。
上記揮発性膨張剤は、シェルを構成するポリマーの軟化点以下の温度でガス状になる物質であり、低沸点有機溶剤が好適である。
上記揮発性膨張剤としては、例えば、エタン、エチレン、プロパン、プロペン、n-ブタン、イソブタン、ブテン、イソブテン、n-ペンタン、イソペンタン、ネオペンタン、n-へキサン、ヘプタン、石油エーテル等の低分子量炭化水素、CCl3F、CCl2F2、CClF3、CClF2-CClF2等のクロロフルオロカーボン、テトラメチルシラン、トリメチルエチルシラン、トリメチルイソプロピルシラン、トリメチル-n-プロピルシラン等のテトラアルキルシラン等が挙げられる。なかでも、イソブタン、n-ブタン、n-ペンタン、イソペンタン、n-へキサン、石油エーテル、及び、これらの混合物が好ましい。これらの揮発性膨張剤は単独で用いてもよく、2種以上を併用してもよい。
また、揮発性膨張剤として、加熱により熱分解してガス状になる熱分解型化合物を用いることとしてもよい。
上記シェルの厚みはコア剤の含有量によって変化するが、コア剤の含有量を減らして、シェルが厚くなり過ぎると発泡性能が低下し、コア剤の含有量を多くすると、シェルの強度が低下する。上記コア剤の含有量を10~25重量%とした場合、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルのへたり防止と発泡性能向上とを両立させることが可能となる。
更に、上記縮合生成物としては、ジエタノールアミンと脂肪族ジカルボン酸との縮合生成物が好ましく、特にジエタノールアミンとアジピン酸との縮合物やジエタノールアミンとイタコン酸との縮合生成物が好ましい。
なお、上記モノマーを重合するために、重合開始剤が使用されるが、上記重合開始剤は、予め上記油性混合液に添加してもよく、水性分散媒体と油性混合液とを重合反応容器内で攪拌混合した後に添加してもよい。
なお、上記静止型分散装置には水系分散媒体と重合性混合物を別々に供給してもよいし、予め混合、攪拌した分散液を供給してもよい。
このような方法で得られる本発明の発泡成形体は、高外観品質が得られ、独立気泡が均一に形成されており、軽量性、断熱性、耐衝撃性、剛性等に優れるものとなり、住宅用建材、自動車用部材、靴底等の用途に好適に用いることができる。
上記熱可塑性樹脂等のベースレジンは、特に限定されず、従来からベースレジンとして汎用されているものを使用することができる。具体的には例えば、上記熱可塑性樹脂としては、例えば、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリプロピレン、ポリプロピレンオキシド、低密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、ポリスチレン、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン-メタクリル酸メチル共重合体等の一般的な熱可塑性樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ナイロン、ポリカーボネート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート等のエンジニアリングプラスチックが挙げられる。また、エチレン系、塩化ビニル系、オレフィン系、ウレタン系、エステル系等の熱可塑性エラストマーを使用してもよく、これらの樹脂を併用して使用してもよい。なお、これらのなかでは、低密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン及びポリスチレンからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種が好ましい。
また、熱可塑性樹脂等のベースレジンや熱膨張性マイクロカプセル、滑剤等の原材料をバッチ式の混練機で混練した後、造粒機で造粒することによりペレット形状のマスターバッチペレットを製造してもよい。
上記混練機としては、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを破壊することなく混練できるものであれば特に限定されず、例えば、加圧ニーダー、バンバリーミキサー等が挙げられる。

なお、表1では、カルボキシル基を有する炭素数3~8のラジカル重合性不飽和カルボン酸単量体(II)をモノマー(II)とした。
粉体状及びペレット状の低密度ポリエチレン100重量部と、滑剤としてエチレンビスステアリン酸アマイド0.2重量部とをバンバリーミキサーで混練し、約140℃になったところで表1に示すそれぞれの熱膨張性マイクロカプセル50重量部を添加し、更に30秒間混練して押し出すと同時にペレット化し、マスターバッチペレットを得た。
表2に示す添加量のマスターバッチペレットと、ポリプロピレン樹脂100重量部とを混合し、得られた混合ペレットをアキュムレーターを備えたスクリュー式の射出成形機のホッパーに供給して溶融混練し、射出成形を行い、板状の成形体を得た。なお、成形条件は、シリンダー温度:250℃、射出速度:60mm/sec、型開遅延時間:0秒、金型温度:60℃とした。
実施例1~6、比較例1~8で得られた熱膨張性マイクロカプセル、及び、成形体について、下記性能を評価した。結果を表1及び2に示した。
(1-1)体積平均粒子径
粒度分布径測定器(LA-910、HORIBA社製)を用い、体積平均粒子径を測定した。
熱機械分析装置(TMA)(TMA2940、TA instruments社製)を用い、発泡開始温度(Ts)、最大変位量(Dmax)及び最大発泡温度(Tmax)を測定した。具体的には、試料25μgを直径7mm、深さ1mmのアルミ製容器に入れ、上から0.1Nの力を加えた状態で、5℃/minの昇温速度で80℃から220℃まで加熱し、測定端子の垂直方向における変位を測定し、変位が上がり始める温度を発泡開始温度、その変位の最大値を最大変位量とし、最大変位量における温度を最大発泡温度とした。
得られた熱膨張性マイクロカプセルをDMF(N,N-ジメチルホルムアミド)で膨潤させることにより、内包する揮発性膨張剤を除去した後、DMFを蒸発させ、熱プレス機を用いて得られたシェルでシートを作製し、幅5mm、長さ15mm、厚み0.2mmの試験片を作製した。
この試験片を用いて、窒素雰囲気下、周波数10Hz、3℃/分の昇温速度で加熱して動的粘弾性測定装置(Rheogel-E4000、UBM社製)を使用して、温度200℃、周波数10Hzにおける貯蔵弾性率(E’)、及び、温度250℃、周波数10Hzにおける貯蔵弾性率(E’)を測定した。
また、温度200℃で、周波数を0.01~10Hzで変動させた場合の貯蔵弾性率(G’)及び損失弾性率(G’’)をパラレルプレート付動的粘弾性測定装置(Rheosol-G5000、UBM社製)を用いて測定し、温度200℃、周波数10Hzにおける貯蔵弾性率(G’)、損失弾性率(G’’)に対する貯蔵弾性率(G’)の比tanδ、及び、温度200℃、周波数0.01Hzにおける貯蔵弾性率(G’)、損失弾性率(G’’)に対する貯蔵弾性率(G’)の比tanδを算出した。
ガラス容器にN,N-ジメチルホルムアミド29gと熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを1g秤量した試料を添加し、24時間振とうして膨潤液とした後、遠心分離により上澄み液を除いたゲル分を130℃真空乾燥機で蒸発乾固した。その重量を測定し、下記の式により架橋度を得た。
架橋度=(ゲル分の乾燥重量/試料1gに含まれる熱膨張性マイクロカプセルのポリマー重量)×100
(2-1)外観(成形品断面)
成形品断面の気泡状態をSEM装置を用いて観察した。
得られた成形体の密度をJIS K-7112 A法(水中置換法)に準拠した方法により測定した。
