Abstract
The invention relates to a composite component that has improved bonding properties and includes a substrate (i) made of a thermoplastic polymer blend composition, and a coating (ii); in a layer located 5 to 10 μm below the boundary surface between the substrate (i) and the coating (ii), the substrate (i) has a dispersed, non-lamellar phase structure. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the composite component.
Claims17
A composite part containing
- (i) a carrier made of a thermoplastic composition containing at least the following constituents
- A) 45% to 90% by weight based on the sum of all constituents of the composition of at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate, polyester, polyester carbonate and polyamide,
- B) 10% to 55% by weight based on the sum of all constituents of the composition of rubber-modified vinyl (co)polymer containing
- B.1) one or more graft polymers of
- B.1.1) 10% to 80% by weight of at least one vinyl monomer on
- B.1.2) 20% to 90% by weight of one or more rubber-like graft substrates,
- wherein the polymer chains formed from the monomers B.1.1) are chemically bonded to the graft substrate B.1.2) or are enclosed in the graft substrate such that during production and processing of the compositions according to the invention they do not escape from this graft substrate and
- B.2) one or more rubber-free (co)polymers of at least one vinyl monomer and
- C) 0% to 30% by weight based on the sum of all constituents of the composition of one or more polymer additives,
- wherein the rubber content B.1.2) based on the component B) is 10% to 40% by weight
- and wherein the component B) contains at least 20% by weight of vinyl (co)polymer B.2) not chemically bonded to the graft substrate or enclosed in this graft substrate
- and
- (ii) at least one single- or multi-ply coating in direct contact with this carrier selected from at least one representative of the group consisting of polymer coating and metal coating
- wherein in a layer which is 5 to 10 μm below the interface of the carrier (i) with the coating (ii) the carrier (i) has a phase structure which is characterized in that the rubber-modified vinyl (co)polymer of component B) is present in the component A) dispersed in phases having a respective ratio of geometric extent parallel to the melt flow direction during thermoplastic production of the carrier to geometric extent perpendicular to the carrier surface determined by transmission electron microscopy after OsO4/RuO4 double contrasting of <10.
