Abstract
Provided is a thermoplastic resin laminate suitable for optical applications of transparent substrate materials and protective materials. The thermoplastic resin laminate includes a first layer including an amorphous polyester resin (A) as the main component, and a second layer including a (meth)acrylic resin (B) as the main component on the first layer.
Claims12
A thermoplastic resin laminate, which comprises a first layer mainly composed of an amorphous polyester resin (A) and a second layer mainly composed of a (meth)acrylic resin (B), the second layer being placed on the first layer;
- wherein
- the content of the amorphous polyester resin (A) in the first layer is 80% by weight or more relative to the total weight of the first layer;
- the content of the (meth)acrylic resin (B) in the second layer is 70% by weight or more relative to the total weight of the second layer;
- the amorphous polyester resin (A) has a glass transition temperature of 110 to 135° C. and a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 to 50,000 and comprises a unit derived from 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol (CBDO) ata ratio of 25 to 40 mol % and a unit derived from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) at a ratio of 60 to 75 mol % relative to all diol units constituting the amorphous polyester resin (A) (100 mol %),
- the (meth)acrylic resin (B) has a glass transition temperature of 110 to 135° C. and a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 to 150,000;
- the absolute value of the difference between the glass transition temperature of the amorphous polyester resin (A) and the glass transition temperature of the (meth)acrylic resin (B) is 10° C. or less;
- the (meth)acrylic resin (B) comprises:
- a (meth)acrylic acid ester structural unit (a) represented by formula (1) below:
- where R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R2 represents a C1-C16 hydrocarbon group,
- an aliphatic vinyl structural unit (b) represented by formula (2) below:
- where R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R4 is selected from among a cyclohexyl group, a cyclohexadiene group and a cyclohexene group, which are optionally substituted with a C1-C4 hydrocarbon group, and
- optionally an aromatic vinyl structural unit (b′) represented by formula (3) below:
- where R5 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R6 represents a phenyl group which is optionally substituted with a C1-C4 hydrocarbon group;
- the ratio of the sum of the (meth)acrylic acid ester structural unit (a), the aliphatic vinyl structural unit (b) and the aromatic vinyl structural unit (b′) is 90 to 100 mol % relative to the sum of all the structural units in the (meth)acrylic resin (B);
- and
- the ratio of the (meth)acrylic acid ester structural unit (a) is 55 mol % to 85 mol % relative to the sum of the (meth)acrylic acid ester structural unit (a), the aliphatic vinyl structural unit (b) and the aromatic vinyl structural unit (b′).
