Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cyclic olefin polymer composition excellent in heat resistance, heat aging resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, dielectric properties, rigidity and impact resistance.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND AND PROBLEMS OF THE INVENTION Polycarbonate, ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene composition) and the like are known as synthetic resins having an excellent balance between rigidity and impact strength. For example, polycarbonate is a resin having excellent rigidity, heat resistance, heat aging resistance and impact resistance. However, it has a problem that it is easily attacked by strong alkalis, has poor chemical resistance, and has a high water absorption. In addition, ABS is excellent in mechanical properties, but is poor in chemical resistance, and has a problem that it has a double bond in the system, so that it is poor in weather resistance and heat resistance.

On the other hand, polyolefins widely used as general resins are excellent in chemical resistance and solvent resistance, but many of them have poor heat resistance, and further have poor crystallinity and poor rigidity. Therefore, in order to improve the rigidity and heat resistance of polyolefin, a method of adding a nucleating agent to accelerate the growth of crystals or performing slow cooling to promote the growth of crystals is generally used, but the effect is not sufficient. Is hard to say. Rather, adding a third component such as a nucleating agent may impair the excellent properties inherent to polyolefins,
In addition, the slow cooling method has poor production efficiency, and may have a reduced impact strength as the amorphous portion is reduced.

As for a copolymer of ethylene and a bulky comonomer, a copolymer of ethylene and 2,3-dihydroxydicyclopentadiene is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,883,372. This copolymer has an excellent balance between rigidity and transparency, but has a glass transition temperature of 10
There is a problem that the heat resistance is inferior at about 0 ° C. Further, a copolymer of ethylene and 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene has the same problem.

JP-B-46-14910 proposes a homopolymer of 1,4,5,8-dimetano-1,2,3,4,4a, 5,8,8a, -octahydronaphthalene. However, the polymer has poor heat resistance and heat aging resistance. Further, JP-A-58-127728 discloses that
A homopolymer of 1,4,5,8-dimethano-1,2,3,4,4a, 5,8,8a-octahydronaphthalene or a copolymer of the cyclic olefin with a norbornene-type comonomer has been proposed. However, it is clear from the above-mentioned publication that all of the polymers are ring-opening polymers. Since such a ring-opened polymer has an unsaturated bond in the polymer main chain, there is a problem that heat resistance and heat aging resistance are poor.

In addition, the applicant has previously described that a cyclic olefin random copolymer composed of ethylene and a specific bulky cyclic olefin has heat resistance, and furthermore, heat aging resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, dielectric properties, It has been found that the resin is a synthetic resin having rigidity, which has already been disclosed in JP-A-60-168708 and Japanese Patent Application No. 59-220550.
No., Japanese Patent Application No. 59-236828, Japanese Patent Application No. 59-236829, Japanese Patent Application No.
59-242336 and Japanese Patent Application No. 61-95906. Although these cyclic olefin-based random copolymers are resins having excellent heat resistance and rigidity despite being olefin-based polymers, they have a problem that they are brittle and have poor impact resistance.

The present inventors have the heat resistance of the cyclic olefin-based random copolymer as described above, heat aging resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, without impairing excellent properties such as dielectric properties,
As a result of diligent studies to improve rigidity and impact resistance, a composition consisting of two specific cyclic olefin random copolymers with different softening temperatures (TMA) is blended with an inorganic filler and / or an organic filler. By doing so, it was found that a cyclic olefin-based random copolymer having excellent properties was obtained, and the present invention was completed.

Object of the Invention The present invention is to solve the problems associated with the prior art as described above, and is excellent in heat resistance, heat aging resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, dielectric properties, rigidity, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cyclic olefin random polymer composition having excellent impact resistance.
