Description
本発明は、包装用あるいは工業用分野において好適に使用することができる強靱な二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムに関する。 The present invention relates to a tough biaxially oriented polyester film that can be suitably used in packaging or industrial fields.
ポリエステルフィルム、特にポリエチレンテレフタレートを主成分とするポリエステルフィルムは、優れた機械的特性、熱的特性、電気的特性、表面特性、光学特性、また、耐熱性、耐薬品性などの性質を利用して、磁気記録媒体用、工業材料用、包装用など種々の用途に幅広く用いられている。しかしながら、包装材料などで特に求められる耐衝撃性、耐屈曲ピンホール性に劣るため、このような用途においてはナイロン二軸延伸フイルムが多く使用されている。一方、ナイロンフイルムにも吸湿率および湿度膨張係数が大きく、保存時や加工時の取り扱いに注意を要し、蒸着加工が困難である。また、耐熱性や印刷適性、腰の強さ、寸法安定性を補うため、ポリエステルフィルムと貼り合わせた形態で用いられる場合が多い。また、ポリエステルフィルム単体での耐衝撃性を与える方法として、PETにダイマー酸を共重合する方法(例えば特開平6−79776号公報)が提案されているが、耐熱性が低く、粘着しやすいため製膜工程や加工工程で巻き付きなどのトラブルが起こりやすいという問題があった。
本発明は、かかる従来技術の背景に鑑み、強靱で耐衝撃性に優れたポリエステルフィルムを提供せんとするものである。 In view of the background of such prior art, the present invention intends to provide a polyester film that is tough and excellent in impact resistance.
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムはかかる課題を解決するために、主として次の構成を有する。すなわち、密度が1.37〜1.41g/cm3であり、固体高分解能NMRによる構造解析におけるジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρが50ミリ秒以上100ミリ秒以下であることを特徴とする二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムである。 In order to solve this problem, the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention mainly has the following configuration. That is, the biaxial orientation is characterized in that the density is 1.37 to 1.41 g / cm 3 and the relaxation time T1ρ of diol carbon in the structural analysis by solid high-resolution NMR is 50 milliseconds or more and 100 milliseconds or less. It is a polyester film.
本発明によれば、包装材料や、耐屈曲性や耐衝撃性が要求される建材用などの用途に好適に用いられる二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを提供することができる。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the biaxially-oriented polyester film used suitably for uses, such as a packaging material and the use for building materials in which bending resistance and impact resistance are requested | required can be provided.
本発明は、前記課題、つまり強靱で耐衝撃性に優れたポリエステルフィルムについて、鋭意検討し、特定な密度で、かつ、ジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρが特定な二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムとしてみたところ、かかる課題を一挙に解決することを究明したものである。 The present invention has been intensively studied on the above-mentioned problem, that is, a tough and excellent impact resistance polyester film. As a biaxially oriented polyester film having a specific density and a specific relaxation time T1ρ of diol carbon, It was clarified to solve the problem at once.
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを構成するポリエステルとしては、ジオール成分としてエチレングリコール、トリメチレングリコール、テトラメチレングリコールなどから選ばれる直鎖骨格を有するジオールと、テレフタル酸、イソフタル酸、ナフタレンジカルボン酸などから選ばれるジカルボン酸からなるポリエステルが好ましいが、2種類以上のグリコール成分を有する共重合ポリエステルや、2種類以上のポリエステルを混合したものでもよいが、中でも全繰り返し単位の40%以上がエチレンテレフタレートであるポリエステルが、高い弾性率と耐屈曲性、耐衝撃性のバランスの良いフィルムを提供しやすいので好ましい。 The polyester constituting the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention includes a diol having a linear skeleton selected from ethylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol and the like as a diol component, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, etc. A polyester comprising a dicarboxylic acid selected from is preferable, but a copolymer polyester having two or more types of glycol components or a mixture of two or more types of polyesters may be used. Among them, 40% or more of all repeating units are ethylene terephthalate. A certain polyester is preferable because it easily provides a film having a high balance of elasticity, flex resistance, and impact resistance.
かかるポリエステルフィルムの密度は、1.37〜1.41g/cm3 であることが必要である。かかる密度が1.37g/cm3より小さい場合、弾性率が小さくなったり、熱収縮率が大きくなってしまうため、ポリエステルフィルム本来のメリットである弾性率が高く、寸法安定性に優れたフィルムを得ることができず、他のポリエステルフィルムなどの、弾性率が高く寸、法安定性に優れたフィルムと貼り合わせて使用する必要があるなど、使用方法が制限されてしまう。また、かかる密度が1.41g/cm3より大きいと、脆くて、耐衝撃性の劣ったフィルムを提供することができなくなってしまう。 The density of such a polyester film needs to be 1.37 to 1.41 g / cm 3 . When the density is less than 1.37 g / cm 3 , the elastic modulus is decreased or the heat shrinkage rate is increased. Therefore, a film having a high elastic modulus, which is an original merit of the polyester film, and excellent in dimensional stability. It cannot be obtained, and the usage method is limited, for example, it is necessary to use the polyester film with another film such as a polyester film having a high elastic modulus and dimensions and excellent method stability. On the other hand, when the density is higher than 1.41 g / cm 3 , it is not possible to provide a film that is brittle and inferior in impact resistance.
上記のようなポリエステルフィルムは、一般に耐屈曲性、耐衝撃性が非常に悪く、包装材料として用いる場合は、これらの特性の優れたナイロンフィルムと貼り合わせて使用されることが多い。 The polyester film as described above generally has very poor bending resistance and impact resistance, and when used as a packaging material, it is often used by being bonded to a nylon film having excellent properties.
我々は種々の検討を行った結果、固体高分解能NMRによる構造解析におけるジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρを50ミリ秒以上100ミリ秒以下とすることにより、弾性率、寸法安定性といった、ポリエステルフィルム本来の利点を損なうことなく、耐屈曲性、耐衝撃性に優れたフィルムを得ることが出来ることを見出した。 As a result of various investigations, the relaxation time T1ρ of diol carbon in the structural analysis by solid-state high-resolution NMR is set to 50 milliseconds or more and 100 milliseconds or less. It has been found that a film excellent in bending resistance and impact resistance can be obtained without impairing the advantages.
ここで、ジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρとは、ポリエステル分子鎖中のジオール部分の運動性を示すものであり、一般に、結晶化して密度が1.37g/cm3以上であるような二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムでは、120ミリ秒以上となる。かかるジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρを50ミリ秒以上100ミリ秒以下と特定な範囲に制御すると、非晶部の運動性を高めることができ、かくすることにより、繰り返し屈曲を行っても、ピンホールが発生しにくく、かつ、衝撃を受けた場合にも、劈開が起こりにくいフィルムを提供することができる。なお、かかるジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρが100ミリ秒より大きいと、耐屈曲性、耐衝撃性が悪くなる。 Here, the relaxation time T1ρ of the diol carbon indicates the mobility of the diol portion in the polyester molecular chain, and is generally a biaxially oriented polyester that crystallizes and has a density of 1.37 g / cm 3 or more. For films, it is 120 milliseconds or more. When the relaxation time T1ρ of the diol carbon is controlled within a specific range of 50 milliseconds or more and 100 milliseconds or less, the mobility of the amorphous part can be increased. It is possible to provide a film that is less likely to cause cleaving and that is less likely to cleave when subjected to an impact. When the relaxation time T1ρ of the diol carbon is longer than 100 milliseconds, the bending resistance and the impact resistance are deteriorated.
また、ポリエステルフィルムの密度が1.37g/cm3以上のポリエステルフィルムの場合では、かかるジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρを50ミリ秒より小さくすることは困難であり、たとえ出来たとしても、弾性率が小さく、腰の弱いフィルムとなってしまう。特に耐屈曲性、耐衝撃性の高いフィルムを得るためには、かかるジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρを60〜85ミリ秒の範囲に制御することが好ましい。 In the case of a polyester film having a polyester film density of 1.37 g / cm 3 or more, it is difficult to make the relaxation time T1ρ of the diol carbon smaller than 50 milliseconds. It becomes a small and weak film. In particular, in order to obtain a film having high bending resistance and impact resistance, it is preferable to control the relaxation time T1ρ of the diol carbon in the range of 60 to 85 milliseconds.
このような密度と固体高分解能NMRによるジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρが上述の範囲にあるようなポリエステルフィルムを得るための手段としては、融点が246〜270℃のエチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルを好ましくは50〜95重量%、より好ましくは70〜90重量%配合し、融点が150〜240℃の熱可塑性樹脂を好ましくは5〜50重量%、より好ましくは10〜30重量%を配合、混合してなるブレンドポリマーを用いることが好ましく採用される。 As a means for obtaining a polyester film having such a density and a relaxation time T1ρ of diol carbon by solid high-resolution NMR in the above-mentioned range, ethylene terephthalate having a melting point of 246 to 270 ° C. is a main repeating unit. Polyester is preferably blended in an amount of 50 to 95% by weight, more preferably 70 to 90% by weight, and a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 150 to 240 ° C. is preferably blended in an amount of 5 to 50% by weight, more preferably 10 to 30% by weight. It is preferable to use a blend polymer obtained by mixing.
かかる融点が246〜270℃のエチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルとしては、ポリエチレンテレフタレートのホモポリエステルや、ポリエチレンテレフタレートにイソフタル酸、1,4シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸、トリメチレングリコール、テトラメチレングリコールを好ましくは20重量%以下、より好ましくは10重量%の範囲で共重合したコポリエステルが使用される。 As the polyester having ethylene terephthalate having a melting point of 246 to 270 ° C. as a main repeating unit, polyethylene terephthalate homopolyester, polyethylene terephthalate, isophthalic acid, 1,4 cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, trimethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol are preferable. Is a copolyester copolymerized in an amount of 20% by weight or less, more preferably 10% by weight.
また、これに混合する融点が150〜240℃の熱可塑性樹脂としては、結晶性の熱可塑性樹脂が好ましく用いられるが、中でも融点が150〜230℃のポリマーが好ましく用いられる。かかる熱可塑性樹脂の種類は特に問わないが、混合するエチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルと相溶性が良い熱可塑性樹脂が好ましく採用される。かかる熱可塑性樹脂の中でも、特にポリトリメチレンテレフタレート、ポリブチレンテレフタレートやこれらにイソフタル酸を1〜20重量%共重合したコポリエステル、これらポリエステルとポリエーテルのブロック共重合体等が好ましく用いられる。 Further, as the thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 150 to 240 ° C. mixed with this, a crystalline thermoplastic resin is preferably used, and a polymer having a melting point of 150 to 230 ° C. is preferably used. The type of the thermoplastic resin is not particularly limited, but a thermoplastic resin having good compatibility with the polyester having ethylene terephthalate to be mixed as a main repeating unit is preferably used. Among such thermoplastic resins, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, a copolyester obtained by copolymerizing 1 to 20% by weight of isophthalic acid with these, a block copolymer of these polyesters and polyether, and the like are preferably used.
かかる低融点熱可塑性樹脂としては、要するに、該高融点熱可塑性樹脂との相溶性に優れたポリマーが選択して用いられる。具体的には、これらのブレンドポリマーからなるフィルムのヘイズが好ましくは0.1〜10%、より好ましくは0.5〜7%の範囲内にあれば、これらのポリマーの相溶性がよいことを意味するものであり、かかるヘイズを満足するものは、前記本発明の課題を好ましく達成する。 As such a low-melting point thermoplastic resin, in short, a polymer having excellent compatibility with the high-melting point thermoplastic resin is selected and used. Specifically, if the haze of the film comprising these blended polymers is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 10%, more preferably 0.5 to 7%, the compatibility of these polymers is good. Meaning and satisfying such haze preferably achieve the above-mentioned object of the present invention.
さらに、これらの樹脂に、ガラス転移温度が0℃以下、好ましくは−20℃以下の熱可塑性樹脂を0.3〜5重量%、好ましくは0.5〜3重量%添加すると、耐屈曲性をさらに向上できるため好ましい。このようにガラス転移温度が0℃以下の熱可塑性樹脂を0.3〜5重量%添加する場合には、融点が246〜270℃のエチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルの割合は47.5〜94.7重量%、融点が150〜240℃の熱可塑性樹脂の割合は4.75〜49.9重量%とするのが好ましい。 Further, when a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition temperature of 0 ° C. or lower, preferably −20 ° C. or lower is added to these resins in an amount of 0.3 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3% by weight, the bending resistance is improved. Further improvement is preferable. Thus, when 0.3 to 5% by weight of a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition temperature of 0 ° C. or lower is added, the proportion of the polyester mainly composed of ethylene terephthalate having a melting point of 246 to 270 ° C. is 47. The proportion of the thermoplastic resin having 5 to 94.7% by weight and a melting point of 150 to 240 ° C. is preferably 4.75 to 49.9% by weight.
ガラス転移温度が0℃以下の熱可塑性樹脂の添加量が5重量%より多い場合、ガラス転移点の低い熱可塑性樹脂が相分離して大きなドメインを形成し、フィルムヘイズの大きなフィルムとなったり、逆に耐屈曲性に劣ったフィルムとなりやすいため好ましくない。このようなガラス転移温度が0℃以下の樹脂は特に問わないが、フィルムを構成する他の樹脂との相溶性の面からポリエステルが好ましく、ポリエチレンテレフタレートやポリトリメチレンテレフタレート、ポリブチレンテレフタレートに長鎖の柔軟性成分、例えばポリオキシメチレングリコールなどを共重合したポリエステルが好ましく用いられる。 When the addition amount of the thermoplastic resin having a glass transition temperature of 0 ° C. or less is more than 5% by weight, a thermoplastic resin having a low glass transition point is phase-separated to form a large domain, and a film having a large film haze is obtained. On the contrary, it is not preferable because the film tends to be inferior in bending resistance. Such a resin having a glass transition temperature of 0 ° C. or lower is not particularly limited, but polyester is preferable from the viewpoint of compatibility with other resins constituting the film, and polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate have long chains. Polyesters obtained by copolymerizing such flexible components such as polyoxymethylene glycol are preferably used.
さらに、耐屈曲性に優れたポリエステルフィルムを得るためには、フィルムを溶融、急冷した後再昇温した際に150℃〜235℃の範囲に融点が観察されないことが好ましい。ここで、融点が観察されるかどうかについては、以下の方法で判断することができる。フィルムを300℃、5分間溶融した後急冷したサンプルを示差走査熱量計(DSC)を用いて20℃/分で昇温した際に、150〜235℃の範囲にポリマーの融解に起因する2J/g以上の吸熱ピークが存在しない場合、この温度範囲に融点が観察されないと判断できる。この範囲に融点が観測される場合は、エチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルに添加した低融点樹脂の融点が独立して存在することを意味し、低融点樹脂の大きなドメインが存在し、耐熱性、熱収縮率や耐屈曲性の悪いフィルムとなりやすいため好ましくない。 Furthermore, in order to obtain a polyester film having excellent bending resistance, it is preferable that no melting point is observed in the range of 150 ° C. to 235 ° C. when the film is melted, rapidly cooled and then heated again. Here, whether or not the melting point is observed can be determined by the following method. When a film was melted at 300 ° C. for 5 minutes and then rapidly cooled, the sample was heated at 20 ° C./minute using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and in the range of 150 to 235 ° C., 2J / When no endothermic peak of g or more exists, it can be determined that no melting point is observed in this temperature range. When the melting point is observed in this range, it means that the melting point of the low melting point resin added to the polyester having ethylene terephthalate as the main repeating unit exists independently, and there is a large domain of the low melting point resin, It is not preferable because it tends to be a film having poor heat resistance, heat shrinkage rate and bending resistance.
また、密度と固体高分解能NMRによるジオール単層の緩和時間T1ρが、前記のごときポリエステルフィルムを得るためには、上記のようなポリエステルを用いるだけではなく、二軸延伸を行った後に、特定のエネルギーを与えることにより、ポリエステルの非晶部分の運動性を高める処理を行うことが好ましい。 In addition, in order to obtain the polyester film as described above, the relaxation time T1ρ of the diol monolayer by density and solid high-resolution NMR is not limited to using the polyester as described above. It is preferable to perform a treatment to increase the mobility of the amorphous portion of the polyester by applying energy.
かかるエネルギーを付与する方法としては、赤外線、紫外線などの特定波長の電磁波を吸収する添加剤をあらかじめ添加して、電磁波を照射する方法、電子線を照射する方法、特定条件で加熱する方法や、これらの組み合わせなどを採用することができるが、中でも特に上記のような融点のエチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルと、これと相溶性の良い特定融点の熱可塑性樹脂とを混合して用い、かつ、添加する熱可塑性樹脂の融点近傍での熱処理を行うことが有効である。 As a method of imparting such energy, an additive that absorbs electromagnetic waves of a specific wavelength such as infrared rays and ultraviolet rays is added in advance, a method of irradiating electromagnetic waves, a method of irradiating electron beams, a method of heating under specific conditions, A combination of these may be employed, but in particular, a polyester mainly composed of ethylene terephthalate having a melting point as described above is mixed with a thermoplastic resin having a specific melting point that is compatible with the polyester. In addition, it is effective to perform a heat treatment near the melting point of the thermoplastic resin to be added.
かかる熱処理度としては、添加する熱可塑性樹脂の融点より15℃低い温度〜融点までの温度範囲で、5秒以上行う条件で行うことが好ましいが、この熱処理温度は、エチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルの非晶部の運動性が高くなる温度域である180〜240℃である場合に、特に有効である。 As the degree of heat treatment, it is preferable that the heat treatment is performed for 5 seconds or more in a temperature range from 15 ° C. to the melting point lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin to be added. This is particularly effective when the temperature is 180 to 240 ° C., which is a temperature range in which the mobility of the amorphous part of the polyester is high.
また、かかる熱処理や電磁波照射、電子線照射などで、非晶部分の運動性を高める処理を行った後の冷却過程では、運動性が高められた非晶部が再結晶化しやすい120〜180℃の温度域で、10秒以上保持しないように注意することが好ましい。ただし、上記のようなポリエステルと熱可塑性樹脂の組み合わせで用いる場合は、120℃以上で、かつ、添加する熱可塑性樹脂の融点より20℃低い温度との間に、10秒以上保持しないことが好ましい。このような温度域に、10秒以上保持すると、非晶部の結晶化が進むため、ジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρが100ミリ秒より大きなフィルムとなりやすい。 In addition, in the cooling process after performing the treatment for increasing the mobility of the amorphous part by such heat treatment, electromagnetic wave irradiation, electron beam irradiation, etc., the amorphous part with increased mobility is easily recrystallized at 120 to 180 ° C. It is preferable to be careful not to hold for 10 seconds or more in this temperature range. However, in the case of using a combination of the polyester and the thermoplastic resin as described above, it is preferable not to hold for 10 seconds or more between the temperature of 120 ° C. or higher and 20 ° C. lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin to be added. . If the temperature is maintained in such a temperature range for 10 seconds or longer, crystallization of the amorphous portion proceeds, and thus a film having a relaxation time T1ρ of diol carbon larger than 100 milliseconds is likely to be obtained.
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、取扱い性、成形性の点から、フィルム厚みが、5〜50μmであることが好ましい。さらに好ましくは10〜30μmである。 The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention preferably has a film thickness of 5 to 50 μm from the viewpoint of handleability and moldability. More preferably, it is 10-30 micrometers.
また、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの面配向係数は、好ましくは0.50〜0.17、さらに好ましくは0.80〜0.16であるものがよい。ここで面配向係数とは、フィルム長手方向の屈折率とフィルム幅方向の屈折率の平均値とフィルム厚さ方向の差である。各方向の屈折率は、例えば偏光子付き接眼レンズを備えたアッベ式屈折率計などで測定することができる。かかる面配向係数が0.50より小さいと、弾性率の大きなフィルムを得ることが困難となり、また0.17より大きいと、ジオール炭素の緩和時間T1ρが100より大きくなりやすいため好ましくない。 The plane orientation coefficient of the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is preferably 0.50 to 0.17, more preferably 0.80 to 0.16. Here, the plane orientation coefficient is the difference between the average value of the refractive index in the film longitudinal direction and the refractive index in the film width direction and the film thickness direction. The refractive index in each direction can be measured by, for example, an Abbe refractometer equipped with an eyepiece with a polarizer. If the plane orientation coefficient is less than 0.50, it is difficult to obtain a film having a large elastic modulus, and if it is more than 0.17, the relaxation time T1ρ of diol carbon tends to be greater than 100, such being undesirable.
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、単層で用いてもよいが、高温の工程での粘着などの問題を防止するため、少なくとも片面に融点が250〜270℃のエチレンテレフタレートを主な繰り返し単位とするポリエステルからなる層をフィルム全体の厚みに対して30%以下の厚みの範囲で積層するのが好ましい。かかる積層ポリエステル層の厚さが、フィルム全体の厚みに対して30%より大きい場合は、耐屈曲性や耐衝撃性の劣るフィルムとなってしまう。 The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention may be used in a single layer, but in order to prevent problems such as adhesion in a high temperature process, ethylene terephthalate having a melting point of 250 to 270 ° C. on at least one side is a main repeating unit. It is preferable to laminate | stack the layer which consists of said polyester in the range of 30% or less of thickness with respect to the thickness of the whole film. When the thickness of the laminated polyester layer is larger than 30% with respect to the thickness of the whole film, the film is inferior in flex resistance and impact resistance.
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、取り扱い性、加工性を向上させるために、平均粒子径0.01〜10μmの公知の内部粒子、無機粒子および/または有機粒子を0.01〜3重量%含有することが好ましい。内部粒子の析出方法としては、公知の技術を用いることができるが、たとえば特開昭48−61556号公報、特開昭51−12860号公報、特開昭53−41355号公報、特開昭54−90397号公報などに記載の技術を採用することができる。さらに、特公昭55−20496号公報、特開昭59−204617号公報などの粒子を併用することもできる。なお、10μmを越える平均粒子径を有する粒子を使用すると、フィルムに欠陥が生じることがあるので注意を要する。 The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention contains 0.01 to 3 wt% of known internal particles, inorganic particles and / or organic particles having an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 10 μm in order to improve handleability and processability. It is preferable to contain. As a method for precipitating the internal particles, known techniques can be used. For example, JP-A-48-61556, JP-A-51-12860, JP-A-53-41355, JP-A-54. The technology described in Japanese Patent No. -90397 can be employed. In addition, particles such as JP-B-55-20496 and JP-A-59-204617 can be used in combination. Note that if particles having an average particle diameter exceeding 10 μm are used, defects may occur in the film.
かかる無機粒子としては、たとえば湿式および乾式シリカ、コロイダルシリカ、ケイ酸アルミ、酸化チタン、炭酸カルシウム、リン酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウム、酸化アルミ、マイカ、カオリン、クレーなど、有機粒子としてはスチレン、シリコーン、アクリル酸類、メタクリル酸類、ポリエステル類、ジビニル化合物などを構成成分とする粒子を使用することができる。なかでも、湿式および乾式シリカ、アルミナなどの無機粒子およびスチレン、シリコーン、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、ポリエステル、ジビニルベンゼンなどを構成成分とする粒子を使用することが好ましい。さらに、これらの内部粒子、無機粒子および有機粒子は二種以上を併用してもよい。 Examples of such inorganic particles include wet and dry silica, colloidal silica, aluminum silicate, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, barium sulfate, aluminum oxide, mica, kaolin, and clay, and examples of organic particles include styrene, silicone, and acrylic acids. Particles containing methacrylic acids, polyesters, divinyl compounds and the like as constituent components can be used. Among them, it is preferable to use inorganic particles such as wet and dry silica and alumina, and particles containing styrene, silicone, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, polyester, divinylbenzene and the like as constituent components. Furthermore, these internal particles, inorganic particles, and organic particles may be used in combination of two or more.
また、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルム中には、本発明の効果を阻害しない範囲内で、各種の添加剤や樹脂組成物、架橋剤などを含有してもよい。例えば酸化防止剤、耐熱安定剤、紫外線吸収剤、有機、無機の粒子、顔料、染料、帯電防止剤、核剤、難燃剤、アクリル樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、ポリオレフィン樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、アルキッド樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、尿素樹脂、フェノール樹脂、シリコーン樹脂、ゴム系樹脂、ワックス組成物、メラミン系架橋剤、オキサゾリン系架橋剤、メチロール化、アルキロール化された尿素系架橋剤、アクリルアミド、ポリアミド、エポキシ樹脂、イソシアネート化合物、アジリジン化合物、各種シランカップリング剤、各種チタネート系カップリング剤などを含有させることができる。 In addition, the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention may contain various additives, resin compositions, cross-linking agents and the like within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. For example, antioxidants, heat stabilizers, UV absorbers, organic and inorganic particles, pigments, dyes, antistatic agents, nucleating agents, flame retardants, acrylic resins, polyester resins, urethane resins, polyolefin resins, polycarbonate resins, alkyd resins , Epoxy resin, urea resin, phenol resin, silicone resin, rubber resin, wax composition, melamine crosslinking agent, oxazoline crosslinking agent, methylolated, alkylolized urea crosslinking agent, acrylamide, polyamide, epoxy resin , Isocyanate compounds, aziridine compounds, various silane coupling agents, various titanate coupling agents, and the like.
かかる二軸配向ポリエステルを構成するポリエステルの極限粘度(25℃のo−クロロフェノール中で測定)としては、0.4〜1.2dl/gが好ましく、0.5〜0.8dl/gであるのがより好ましい。 The intrinsic viscosity (measured in o-chlorophenol at 25 ° C.) of the polyester constituting the biaxially oriented polyester is preferably 0.4 to 1.2 dl / g, and preferably 0.5 to 0.8 dl / g. Is more preferable.
次に、かかる二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの製造方法としては、特に限定されるものではないが、たとえば、ポリエステルを、必要に応じて乾燥した後、公知の溶融押出機に供給、溶融しスリット状のダイからシート状に押出し、たとえばワイヤー状電極もしくはテープ状電極を使用して、静電印加する方法、キャスティングドラムと押出したポリマーシート間に、水膜を設けたキャスト法により、冷却固化し、未延伸フィルムを得る。 Next, the method for producing such a biaxially oriented polyester film is not particularly limited. For example, after drying the polyester as necessary, it is supplied to a known melt extruder and melted to form a slit. Extruded into a sheet form from a die, for example, a method of applying static electricity using a wire electrode or a tape-shaped electrode, and a method of cooling and solidifying by a casting method in which a water film is provided between a casting drum and an extruded polymer sheet. A stretched film is obtained.
かかる未延伸フィルムを、加熱ロールを用いて、長手方向に延伸した後、クリップに把持して、幅方向に延伸する、あるいは、幅方向に延伸した後、長手方向に延伸する逐次二軸延伸法、フィルムの長手方向、幅方向をほぼ同時に延伸していく同時二軸延伸法などにより延伸を行う。 Such an unstretched film is stretched in the longitudinal direction using a heating roll, and then gripped by a clip and stretched in the width direction, or stretched in the width direction and then stretched in the longitudinal direction. The film is stretched by a simultaneous biaxial stretching method in which the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the film are stretched almost simultaneously.
かかる延伸方法において、採用される延伸倍率としては、それぞれの方向に好ましくは1.6〜4.2倍、さらに好ましくは2.4〜4.0倍である。また、延伸速度は1000〜200000%/分であることが望ましく、延伸温度はポリエステルのガラス転移点〜ガラス転移点より40℃高い温度の間の温度範囲が好ましい。また、延伸は各方向に対して複数回行ってもよい。 In such a stretching method, the stretching ratio employed is preferably 1.6 to 4.2 times, more preferably 2.4 to 4.0 times in each direction. The stretching speed is desirably 1000 to 200000% / min, and the stretching temperature is preferably in the temperature range between the glass transition point of the polyester and a temperature 40 ° C. higher than the glass transition point. Moreover, you may perform extending | stretching in multiple times with respect to each direction.
さらにかかる二軸延伸の後に、フィルムの熱処理を行うが、この熱処理は、オーブン中で、定長もしくは順次収縮させながら160〜230℃の熱処理温度で1〜30秒間熱処理を行う。ただし、非晶部の運動性を向上させる処理を加熱により行う場合は、上述の温度範囲で行うことが好ましい。熱処理を行った後、必要に応じて、紫外線照射、電子線照射などを行い、非晶部の運動性を向上させる。 Further, after the biaxial stretching, the film is subjected to heat treatment. This heat treatment is performed in an oven at a heat treatment temperature of 160 to 230 ° C. for 1 to 30 seconds while being contracted at a constant length or sequentially. However, when performing the process which improves the mobility of an amorphous part by heating, it is preferable to carry out in the above-mentioned temperature range. After performing the heat treatment, if necessary, ultraviolet irradiation, electron beam irradiation, or the like is performed to improve the mobility of the amorphous part.
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、包装材料の好適であるが、耐屈曲性や耐衝撃性が要求される建材用などの用途にも用いることができる。 The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is suitable as a packaging material, but can also be used for applications such as for building materials that require bending resistance and impact resistance.

本発明における特性の測定方法および効果の評価方法は次のとおりである。
