This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0120476 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Aug. 26, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a polymer resin composition and a molded product thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a polymer resin composition which is excellent in compatibility between components and has improved mechanical properties such as heat resistance, tensile strength, etc., and improved molding workability, and a molded product thereof.
A polyester resin is widely used as reinforcing plastics, paints, films, molding resins, etc., due to characteristics of relatively excellent heat resistance, mechanical strength and elastic strength, and thus is also used as fiber materials for clothes.
In recent years, due to its characteristic physical properties, the polyester resin has been increasingly used in fields of architectural interior materials, molded signboards, or the like. However, the polyester resin has a lower heat resistance than other polymer materials, for example, an acrylic material or a polycarbonate-based material, and thus has a problem in that it is not suitable for being used as an outdoor exterior material having a severe temperature change depending on the season.
Meanwhile, the polycarbonate resin is used in various fields such as exterior appearance of various building materials and electronic products, packaging materials, cases, boxes, and interior and exterior materials, etc., due to excellent characteristics such as impact resistance, heat resistance, etc. The polycarbonate resin is in great demand due to its excellent mechanical properties.
However, the polycarbonate resin has problems in that appearance color of polycarbonate is changed by various cleaning agents, cosmetics for women, and baby hand sanitizers, etc., that are commonly used, or cracks occur, and deterioration of a product is caused by various kinds of life chemicals.
There have been various attempts to solve the problems of the polyester resin or the polycarbonate resin, and research on a method of blending the polyester resin and the polycarbonate resin has been continued.
Meanwhile, since the polyester resin and the polycarbonate resin have different melt viscosities and molecular structures, there is certain limitation in improving the heat resistance by simply blending the resins. In addition, various methods have been used to increase chemical resistance while maintaining mechanical properties, particularly heat resistance, of the polycarbonate.
However, the degree of improvement of the chemical resistance is not sufficient to be practically applicable to the industry. There is a problem in that appearance characteristics of a resin product to be manufactured are deteriorated.
Therefore, development of a resin composition that exhibits improved heat resistance or impact resistance through a blend of a polyester resin and a polycarbonate resin, and is excellent in chemical resistance is required.
The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a polymer resin composition having advantages of being excellent in compatibility between components and having improved mechanical properties such as heat resistance, tensile strength, etc., and improved molding workability, and a molded product thereof.
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a polymer resin composition including a polyester resin that includes a diol component residue including a heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and a dicarboxylic acid component residue, and has a glass transition temperature of 90° C. or higher; a polycarbonate resin; a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer; and an impact-reinforcing material that includes a core including a diene-based copolymer, an inner layer shell including an acrylate/aromatic vinyl copolymer, and an outer layer shell including an aromatic vinyl-based polymer.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a molded product including the polymer resin composition.
Hereinafter, the polymer resin composition and the molded product thereof according to specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail.
In the present specification, the term ‘residue’ means a predetermined moiety or unit included in a resulting material of a chemical reaction and derived from a specific compound when the specific compound participates in the chemical reaction. For example, each of the ‘residue’ of the dicarboxylic acid component or the ‘residue’ of the diol component means a moiety derived from the dicarboxylic acid component or derived from the diol component in a polyester formed by an esterification reaction or a polycondensation reaction.
Further, in the present specification, ‘(meth)acryl’ means to include both acryl and methacryl.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, there may be provided a polymer resin composition including a polyester resin that includes a diol component residue including a heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and a dicarboxylic acid component residue, and has a glass transition temperature of 90° C. or higher; a polycarbonate resin; a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer; and an impact-reinforcing material that includes a core including a diene-based copolymer, an inner layer shell including an acrylate/aromatic vinyl copolymer, and an outer layer shell including an aromatic vinyl-based polymer.
The present inventors found through experiments that when the above-described specific polymer resin composition was used, compatibility between the polyester resin and the polycarbonate resin could be increased to improve miscibility between the resins in the composition, and thus it was possible to prepare a polymer resin composition having excellent mechanical properties and molding workability and completed the invention.
Particularly, due to the specific polyester resin included in the polymer resin composition, the polymer resin composition may ensure heat resistance simultaneously ensuring transparency, workability, chemical resistance, and may improve environment-friendliness since harmful materials are not included in the components.
Further, through a three-layer structure of the core-inner layer shell-outer layer shell of the impact-reinforcing material included in the polymer resin composition, the impact resistance of the polymer resin composition may be improved, and the compatibility between the polyester resin and the polycarbonate resin may be increased, and thus excellent molding workability may be ensured in processing processes such as extrusion molding, etc.

Specifically, the polymer resin composition may include an impact-reinforcing material that includes a core including a diene-based copolymer, an inner layer shell including an acrylate/aromatic vinyl copolymer, and an outer layer shell including an aromatic vinyl-based polymer.

When the weight is out of the above-described range, balance of transparency and impact resistance as the impact-reinforcing material may be broken.
More specifically, the core included in the impact-reinforcing material may include the diene-based copolymer which is obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture containing 30 wt % to 100 wt %, or 40 wt % to 90 wt %, or 50 wt % to 80 wt % of a diene-based monomer; 0 to 70 wt %, or 10 to 60 wt %, or 20 to 50 wt % of an aromatic vinyl monomer; 0 wt % to 10 wt %, or 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of a copolymerizable vinyl-based monomer; and 0 wt % to 5 wt %, or 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % of a cross-linking monomer.
When the diene-based monomer is used in the core included in the impact-reinforcing material, it is preferable in view of strength, but it is distant from a refractive index of the polyester resin or the polycarbonate resin. Thus, the diene-based monomer is preferably included in 90 wt % or less in view of transparency. Further, 40 wt % or more of the diene-based monomer is preferably included since an excellent ability of expressing strength is obtained. Examples of the diene-based monomer are not particularly limited, but may include, for example, butadiene, isoprene, and the like.
In addition, the aromatic vinyl monomer included in the core is a compound having one vinyl double bond and one or more benzene nuclei in the same molecule, and may increase the refractive index of the rubber particle to approach the refractive index of the polyester resin or the polycarbonate resin.

Specific examples of the cross-linking monomer included in the core are not particularly limited, but may include di(meth)acrylic acid divinylbenzene monoethyleneglycol and di(meth)acrylic acid ethylene glycol, etc. When a content of the cross-linking monomer is more than 5 wt %, the impact strength may be deteriorated.
Meanwhile, the inner layer shell included in the impact-reinforcing material may include the (meth)acrylate/aromatic vinyl copolymer which is obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture containing 60 wt % to 98 wt %, or 65 wt % to 95 wt % of an aromatic vinyl monomer; 2 wt % to 40 wt %, or 5 wt % to 35 wt % of a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer containing a hydroxyl group; and 0 wt % to 20 wt %, or 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % of a copolymerizable vinyl-based monomer.
In the present specification, the term “(meth)acrylate/aromatic vinyl copolymer” means a copolymer obtained by polymerizing a mixture of a (meth)acrylate monomer and an aromatic vinyl monomer.
A method of injecting the monomer mixture for polymerizing the inner layer shell is not particularly limited, and methods such as a continuous one-step addition and a two-step addition, etc., may be used.
In addition, the aromatic vinyl monomer included in the inner layer shell is a compound having one vinyl double bond and one or more benzene nuclei in the same molecule, and may increase the refractive index of the rubber particle to approach the refractive index of the polyester resin.

Examples of the monomer that contains the (meth)acrylic acid ester containing the hydroxyl group or the alkoxy group included in the inner layer shell may include hydroxyacrylates such as hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, etc., hydroxymethacrylates such as hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, etc., alkoxy acrylates such as methoxyethyl acrylate, ethoxyethyl acrylate, etc., alkoxy methacrylates such as methoxyethyl methacrylate, ethoxyethyl methacrylate, etc., but are not limited thereto.
The monomer that contains the (meth)acrylic acid ester containing the hydroxyl group or the alkoxy group included in the inner layer shell may increase interfacial adhesion between the polyester resin or the polycarbonate resin and the impact-reinforcing material to ensure compatibility, and may prevent an increase in viscosity during melt mixing.

Meanwhile, the outer shell included in the impact-reinforcing material may include an aromatic vinyl-based polymer which is obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture containing 10 wt % to 100 wt % of an aromatic vinyl monomer; 0 wt % to 90 wt % of alkyl(meth)acrylate having 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl group; and 0 wt % to 50 wt % of a copolymerizable vinyl-based monomer.
A method of injecting the monomer mixture for polymerizing the outer layer shell is not particularly limited, and methods such as a continuous one-step addition and a two-step addition, etc., may be used.
The aromatic vinyl monomer included in the outer layer shell is a compound having one vinyl double bond and one or more benzene nuclei in the same molecule, and may increase the refractive index of the rubber particle to approach the refractive index of the polyester resin.

In addition, a particle diameter of the core included in the impact-reinforcing material is not particularly limited, but may be 0.05 μm to 0.1 μm, or 0.06 μm to 0.08 μm. When the particle diameter of the core included in the impact-reinforcing material is less than 0.05 μm, it may be difficult to secure a sufficient level of impact strength. When the particle diameter of the core included in the impact-reinforcing material is more than 0.1 μm, it may be difficult to secure transparency.
Examples of a method for manufacturing the impact-reinforcing material are also not particularly limited, and various known methods for forming a core-shell structure, for example, emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization, solution polymerization, etc., may be used without limitation.
A content of the impact-reinforcing material may be 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % with respect to a total content of the polymer resin composition. When the content of the impact-reinforcing material is less than 0.1 wt %, an effect of improving the impact resistance by the impact-reinforcing material may be reduced. When the content of the impact-reinforcing material is more than 10 wt %, transparency may decrease, and thus coloring property for various color expression may be deteriorated.
The polymer resin composition may further include, as the impact-reinforcing material, at least one copolymer selected from the group consisting of an unsaturated nitrile-diene rubber-aromatic vinyl graft copolymer, an alkyl methacrylate-diene rubber-aromatic vinyl graft copolymer, and an alkyl methacrylate-silicone/alkyl acrylate graft copolymer.

An example of the polycarbonate resin in which the melt mass-flow rate (300° C., 1.2 kg load) measured by the ASTM D1238 is less than 5 g/10 min may include TRIREX 3030PJ (manufactured by Samyang Corp.), an example of the polycarbonate resin in which the melt mass-flow rate (300° C., 1.2 kg load) measured by the ASTM D1238 is 5 g/10 min to 11 g/10 min may include TRIREX 3025PJ (manufactured by Samyang Corp.), and a specific example of the polycarbonate resin in which the melt mass-flow rate (300° C., 1.2 kg load) measured by the ASTM D1238 is more than 11 g/10 min may include TRIREX 3022PJ (manufactured by Samyang Corp.).
The melt mass-flow rate (MFR) is a measure of fluidity of a polymer material. A large MFR means a low viscosity and a small MFR means a large viscosity. In the case of the same material, it is known that the smaller the MFR, the higher a breaking point of the tensile strength, elongation, the impact strength and environmental stress crack resistance.
A content of the polycarbonate resin may be 5 wt % to 90 wt %, or 50 wt % to 80 wt %, or 50 wt % to 70 wt % based on a total weight of the polymer resin composition.
The polycarbonate may have a glass transition temperature of 50 to 200° C., and a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 200,000. The glass transition temperature may be confirmed through DSC measurement data, etc. For example, the glass transition temperature may be measured by using a method including maintaining the polycarbonate resin at 300° C. for 5 minutes, followed by slowly cooling to room temperature, and re-scanning at a heating speed of 10° C./min, etc. Examples of the method for measuring the weight average molecular weight are not particularly limited, but for example, a weight average molecular weight on polystyrene conversion measured by GPC may be used.
When the weight average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin is less than 10,000, mechanical properties such as impact strength and tensile strength, etc., may be greatly deteriorated. When the weight average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin is more than 200,000, molding workability may be decreased due to an increase in melt viscosity.
The polycarbonate resin means a polymer including a carbonate functional group, for example, may be a linear polycarbonate resin, a branched polycarbonate resin, a copolycarbonate resin, a polyester carbonate resin or a mixture of two or more thereof. The polycarbonate resin, a method for manufacturing the polycarbonate resin, and the use of the polycarbonate resin may be used without limitation by applying contents of a thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonate resin that is commonly used in the art. However, in specific examples, the aromatic polycarbonate resin may be prepared from divalent phenol, a carbonate precursor, and a molecular weight regulator. Specific examples of the divalent phenol may include, but are not particularly limited to, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)phenylmethane, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)naphthylmethane, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-(4-isobutylphenyl)methane, 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 1-ethyl-1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 1-phenyl-1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 1-naphthyl-1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, 1,10-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)decane, 2-methyl-1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane(bisphenol A), etc.
Examples of the carbonate precursor are also not particularly limited, but may include, for example, as another monomer constituting the aromatic polycarbonate resin, carbonyl chloride (phosgene), carbonyl bromide, bishaloformate, diphenyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, etc.
As the molecular weight regulator, a material that is already known in the art, i.e., a monofunctional compound similar to the monomer used in manufacturing the thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonate resin may be used. Examples of the molecular weight regulator may include phenol-based derivatives (for example, para-isopropylphenol, para-tert-butylphenol (PTBP), para-cumylphenol, para-isooctylphenol, para-isononylphenol, etc.), aliphatic alcohols, etc.
Polysiloxane-Polycarbonate Copolymer
The polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer may include a block copolymer including a polysiloxane repeating unit and a polycarbonate repeating unit. In particular, excellent impact resistance may be ensured by the polysiloxane repeating unit.
A content of the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer may be 1 to 90 wt %, or 3 to 20 wt % based on a total weight of the polymer resin composition.
Specifically, the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer may contain 1 to 20 wt % of the polysiloxane repeating unit. When the content of the polysiloxane repeating unit is more than 20 wt %, a molecular weight of the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer may be excessively increased, flowability and moldability may be deteriorated, and economic efficiency may be reduced due to an increase of manufacturing costs. On the other hand, when the content of the polysiloxane repeating unit is less than 1 wt %, an effect of improving the impact resistance by the addition of the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer may not be sufficiently implemented.
The polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer may have a glass transition temperature of 50 to 200° C., and a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 200,000. For example, the glass transition temperature may be confirmed through DSC measurement data, etc. For example, the glass transition temperature may be measured by using a method including maintaining the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer at 300° C. for 5 minutes, followed by slowly cooling to room temperature, and re-scanning at a heating speed of 10° C./min, etc. Examples of the method for measuring the weight average molecular weight are not particularly limited, but for example, a weight average molecular weight on polystyrene conversion measured by GPC may be used.
When the weight average molecular weight of the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer is less than 10,000, the effect of improving the impact resistance may be insignificant. When the weight average molecular weight is more than 200,000, reactivity may be deteriorated, and thus it may be difficult to synthesize the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer at a desired molecular weight.
The polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer, a method for manufacturing the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer, and the use of the polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer may be used without limitation as commonly used in the art.

When two or more substituents are substituted, the two or more substituents may be the same or different from each other.
Polyester Resin
A content of the polyester resin may be 5 to 90 wt %, or 20 to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the polymer resin composition.
Specifically, the polyester resin may include the diol component residue including a heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and the dicarboxylic acid component residue.
The ‘dicarboxylic acid component’ may include a dicarboxylic acid such as terephthalic acid, or the like, an alkyl ester thereof (lower alkyl ester having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as monomethyl, monoethyl, dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl ester, or the like) and/or an acid anhydride thereof, and may react with a diol component to form a dicarboxylic acid moiety such as a terephthaloyl moiety, or the like.
The dicarboxylic acid component may include an aromatic dicarboxylic acid having 8 to 20 carbon atoms or an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and thus physical property such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance (for example, decrease in molecular weight due to UV or prevention of yellowing phenomenon), or the like, of the polyester resin to be manufactured, may be improved.
Examples of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid having 8 to 20 carbon atoms may include, but are not particularly limited to, terephthalic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, diphenyl dicarboxylic acid, 4,4′-stilbenedicarboxylic acid, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid, etc.
Examples of the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid component having 4 to 20 carbon atoms may include, but are not particularly limited to, cyclohexane dicarboxylic acids such as 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, 1,3-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, etc., linear, branched or cyclic aliphatic dicarboxylic acid components such as sebacic acid, succinic acid, isodecylsuccinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, glutaric acid, azelaic acid, etc.
Specifically, the dicarboxylic acid component may include 50 to 100 mol %, or 70 to 100 mol % of terephthalic acid; and a residual amount of other dicarboxylic acids. The other dicarboxylic acid may include an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid except for the terephthalic acid. When a content of terephthalic acid in the dicarboxylic acid component is excessively small or excessively large, physical property such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, or the like, of the polyester resin may be deteriorated.
Meanwhile, the diol component may include a heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms. The heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms means a compound in which at least one carbon atom is substituted with a heteroatom in a cyclic aliphatic diol, which is a compound in which two hydroxyl groups (—OH) are substituted in a cyclic aliphatic compound. The hetero atom is an atom other than carbon or hydrogen and includes, for example, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and the like. By including the heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms as the diol component, not only the heat resistance but also the physical properties such as chemical resistance and resistance against medicine, etc., of the polyester resin may be improved.
Examples of the heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms are not particularly limited, but may include, for example, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 24 below:
in Chemical Formula 24, n1 and n2 may be each independently an integer of 0 to 3, and X may be oxygen or sulfur.
A more specific example of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 24 may include a compound represented by Chemical Formula 25 below:
in Chemical Formula 25, n1 and n2 are each independently an integer of 0 to 3. A specific example of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 24 or 25 may include dianhydrohexitol, and a specific example of the dianhydrohexitol may include isosorbide (1,4:3,6-dianhydroglucitol).
The heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms may be included in a content of 5 to 60 mol % with respect to the total diol component. When the content of the heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms in the diol component is less than 5 mol %, it is difficult to sufficiently implement the heat resistance or the chemical resistance of the polyester resin to be manufactured, and a desired melt viscosity characteristic of the polyester resin may not be exhibited. Further, when the content of the heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms is more than 60 mol %, the polyester resin or the product may have deteriorated appearance characteristic or yellowing phenomenon.
In addition, the diol component may further include a heterocyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms. The cyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms means a compound in which two hydroxyl groups (—OH) are substituted in the cyclic aliphatic compound. Examples of the cyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms are not particularly limited, but may include, for example, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 21 or 22 below:
in Chemical Formula 21, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and n1 and n2 are each independently an integer of 0 to 3, and
in Chemical Formula 22, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are each independently hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and n3 and n4 are each independently an integer of 0 to 3.
The alkyl group is a monovalent functional group derived from alkane, and may be, for example, linear, branched or cyclic methyl, ethyl, propyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, etc.
In the substituted or unsubstituted form, ‘substituted’ means that the hydrogen atom included in the alkyl group is replaced by a functional group. Examples of the functional group may include, but are not particularly limited to, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkynyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, a heteroaryl group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, an arylalkyl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, a halogen atom, a cyano group, an amino group, an amidino group, a nitro group, an amide group, a carbonyl group, a hydroxyl group, a sulfonyl group, a carbamate group, an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, etc.
A more specific example of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 21 may include 1,4-cyclohexanediol or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol.
The cyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms may be included in a content of 5 to 80 mol % with respect to the total diol component. The higher the content of the cyclic aliphatic diol having 3 to 20 carbon atoms in the diol component, the greater the resistance against impact strength of the polyester resin to be manufactured.
In addition, the diol component may further include a linear or branched aliphatic diol having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
The linear or branched aliphatic diol having 1 to 20 carbon atoms may include a compound represented by Chemical Formula 23 below:
in Chemical Formula 23, n is an integer of 1 to 7.
A more specific example of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 23 may include ethylene glycol.
As a specific example, the polyester resin may include 5 to 60 mol % of isosorbide, 5 to 80 mol % of cyclohexanediol, and the remaining content of ethylene glycol.
Meanwhile, the polyester resin may have a glass transition temperature of 90° C. or higher, 100° C. or higher, or 90° C. to 150° C., or 100° C. to 130° C. The glass transition temperature may be confirmed through DSC measurement data, etc. For example, the glass transition temperature may be measured by using a method including maintaining the polyester resin at 300° C. for 5 minutes, followed by slowly cooling to room temperature, and re-scanning at a heating speed of 10° C./min, etc.
The weight average molecular weight of the polyester resin may be 10,000 to 100,000. Examples of the method for measuring the weight average molecular weight are not particularly limited, but for example, a weight average molecular weight on polystyrene conversion measured by GPC may be used. When the weight average molecular weight of the polyester resin is less than 10,000, mechanical properties such as impact strength and tensile strength, etc., may be greatly deteriorated. When the weight average molecular weight of the polyester resin is more than 100,000, molding workability may be decreased due to an increase in melt viscosity.
Meanwhile, examples of a method for manufacturing the polyester resin are not particularly limited, but may be provided, for example, by a method for manufacturing a polyester resin including performing an esterification reaction on a dicarboxylic acid component and a diol component; adding a phosphorus-based stabilizer when the esterification reaction proceeds 80% or more; and performing a polycondensation reaction on the esterification reaction product.
According to the method for manufacturing the polyester resin, a polyester resin exhibiting excellent physical properties such as high heat resistance, flame retardancy, impact resistance, etc., and having excellent appearance characteristic, high transparency and excellent molding characteristic may be provided by using an esterification reaction catalyst including a zinc-based compound, and adding a phosphorus-based stabilizer to a reaction solution at the end of the esterification reaction, for example, at the time point when the reaction proceeds 80% or more, followed by polycondensation of the resultant product of the esterification reaction.
Details of the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component are the same as described above.
More specifically, the esterification reaction step may be performed by reacting the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component at a pressure of 0 to 10.0 kg/cm′ and a temperature of 150 to 300° C. The esterification reaction conditions may be appropriately controlled depending on specific properties of the polyester resin to be manufactured, a molar ratio of the dicarboxylic acid component to glycol, process conditions, or the like. Specifically, preferable examples of the esterification reaction conditions may be a pressure of 0 to 5.0 kg/cm′, more preferably 0.1 to 3.0 kg/cm2; and a temperature of 200 to 270° C., more preferably 240 to 260° C.
In addition, the esterification reaction may be performed in a batch manner or in a continuous manner, and each of raw materials may be separately added. However, it is preferable to be added as a slurry form in which the dicarboxylic acid component is mixed in the diol component. Further, the diol component, which is a solid at room temperature, may be dissolved in water or ethylene glycol, and mixed with the dicarboxylic acid component such as terephthalic acid to form a slurry. Alternatively, the diol component may be melted at 60° C. or higher, and then the dicarboxylic acid components such as terephthalic acid, etc., and other diol components may be mixed to form a slurry. Further, water may be further added to the slurry in which the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component are mixed to thereby help an increase in fluidity of the slurry.
The molar ratio of the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component participating in the esterification reaction may be 1:1.05 to 1:3.0. When the molar ratio of the dicarboxylic acid component to the diol component is less than 1.05, unreacted dicarboxylic acid component may remain in the polymerization reaction, and thus transparency of the polyester resin may be deteriorated. When the molar ratio thereof is more than 3.0, a polymerization reaction speed may be lowered or productivity of the resin may be decreased.
The performing of the polycondensation reaction on the esterification reaction product may include reacting the esterification reaction product of the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component at a temperature of 150 to 300° C. and a reduced pressure of 600 to 0.01 mmHg, for 1 to 24 hours.
The polycondensation reaction may be performed at a reaction temperature of 150 to 300° C., or 200 to 290° C., or 260 to 280° C.; and a reduced pressure of 600 to 0.01 mmHg, or 200 to 0.05 mmHg, or 100 to 0.1 mmHg. As the reduced pressure condition of the polycondensation reaction is applied, glycol, which is a by-product of the polycondensation reaction, may be removed from the system, and thus when the polycondensation reaction is out of the reduced pressure condition range of 600 to 0.01 mmHg, removal of by-products may be insufficient.
In addition, when the polycondensation reaction is generated out of the temperature range of 150 to 300° C., i.e., when the polycondensation reaction proceeds below 150° C., glycol, which is a by-product of the polycondensation reaction, may not be effectively removed from the system, and thus intrinsic viscosity of the final reaction product may be low, which may deteriorate physical properties of the polyester resin to be manufactured. When the reaction proceeds at 300° C. or higher, there is a high possibility that the appearance of the polyester resin to be manufactured is yellowing. Further, the polycondensation reaction may be performed for a necessary time until the intrinsic viscosity of the final reaction product reaches an appropriate level, for example, for an average residence time of 1 to 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the method for preparing the polyester resin composition may further include a step of further adding a polycondensation catalyst. The polycondensation catalyst may be added to the product of the esterification reaction or the transesterification reaction before the start of the polycondensation reaction, may be added to a mixed slurry including the diol component and the dicarboxylic acid component before the esterification reaction, and may be added during the esterification reaction step.
As the polycondensation catalyst, a titanium-based compound, a germanium-based compound, an antimony-based compound, an aluminum-based compound, a tin-based compound or a mixture thereof may be used. Specific examples of the compound may include various known compounds in the corresponding field without limitation.

In the process of preparing the polymer resin composition, each of the resins is preferably used in a sufficiently dried state.

A content of the compatibilizer may be 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % with respect to a total content of the polymer resin composition. When the content of the compatibilizer is less than 0.1 wt %, an effect of improving the molding workability by the compatibilizer may be reduced. When the content of the compatibilizer is more than 10 wt %, the mechanical properties of the polymer resin composition may be reduced.
Specifically, the polymer resin composition may include the compatibilizer in a content of 50 to 100 parts by weight, or 60 to 100 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the impact-reinforcing material.
