Abstract

A vinylidene fluoride-based resin film including polyvinylidene fluoride whose average spherocrystal diameter is less than 0.1 μm that is a detection limit or lower by observation using a transmission electron microscope is provided, the average spherocrystal diameter being obtained by shaping a vinylidene fluoride-based resin in a molten state by sandwiching the resin between rollers or metal belts so as to let it cool down. Thereby, a vinylidene fluoride-based resin film and a vinylidene fluoride-based resin multilayered film having excellent transparency, weather resistance, chemical resistance, break resistance and formability are provided.

Claims (29)

1. A vinylidene fluoride resin film, comprising polyvinylidene fluoride whose average spherocrystal diameter is less than 0.1 μm by observation using a transmission electron microscope, the average spherocrystal diameter being obtained by shaping a vinylidene fluoride resin in a molten state by sandwiching the resin between rollers or metal belts so as to let it cool down,

wherein the vinylidene fluoride resin is a composition comprising 50 to 99.9 parts by weight of a vinylidene fluoride resin (D) and 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a methacrylic resin composition (C).

2. The vinylidene fluoride resin film according to claim 1 , wherein a haze of the vinylidene fluoride resin film is less than 1%.

3. The vinylidene fluoride resin film according to claim 1 wherein a temperature of the rollers or the metal belts ranges from 10 to 100° C.

4. The vinylidene fluoride resin film according to claim 1 , further comprising a methacrylic resin composition (C) layer laminated on one side of the vinylidene fluoride resin layer.

5. The vinylidene fluoride resin multilayered film according to claim 4 , wherein the vinylidene fluoride resin layer and the methacrylic resin composition (C) are shaped by co-extrusion.

6. The vinylidene fluoride resin film according to claim 4 ,

wherein the methacrylic resin composition (C) is a methacrylic resin composition obtained by polymerization of a methacrylate polymer (A) in the presence of acrylate crosslinked elastic particles (B),

wherein

(1) the methacrylate polymer (A) is obtained by polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising 50 to 100 weight % of alkyl methacrylate and 0 to 50 weight % of alkyl acrylate;

(2) the acrylate crosslinked elastic particles (B) are obtained by copolymerization of a monomer mixture (b) comprising 50 to 100 weight % of alkyl acrylate and 50 to 0 weight % of alkyl methacrylate and a multi-functionality monomer having two or more non-conjugated double bonds per one molecule;

(3) 5 to 45 weight % of the acrylate crosslinked elastic particles (B) are contained; and

(4) 0.01 to 30 parts by weight of an ultraviolet absorber indicated by the following General Formula (1) is copolymerized with respect to 100 parts by weight of the methacrylic resin composition (C);

where X denotes H or halogen, R 1 denotes H, methyl or t-alkyl group with a carbon number of 4 to 6, R 2 denotes an alkylene group with a carbon number of 2 to 10 in a straight chain shape or a branch shape and R 3 denotes H or methyl.

7. The vinylidene fluoride resin film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the methacrylic resin composition (C) is a methacrylic resin composition obtained by polymerization of a methacrylate polymer (A) in the presence of acrylate crosslinked elastic particles (B),

wherein

(1) the methacrylate polymer (A) is obtained by polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising 50 to 100 weight% of alkyl methacrylate and 0 to 50 weight % of alkyl acrylate;

(2) the acrylate crosslinked elastic particles (B) are obtained by copolymerization of a monomer mixture (b) comprising 50 to 100 weight % of alkyl acrylate and 50 to 0 weight % of alkyl methacrylate and a multi-functionality monomer having two or more non-conjugated double bonds per one molecule;

(3) 5 to 45 weight % of the acrylate crosslinked elastic particles (B) are contained; and

(4) 0.01 to 30 parts by weight of an ultraviolet absorber indicated by the following General Formula (1) is copolymerized with respect to 100 parts by weight of the methacrylic resin composition (C);

(Formula 1)

where X denotes H or halogen, R 1 denotes H, methyl or t-alkyl group with a carbon number of 4 to 6, R 2 denotes an alkylene group with a carbon number of 2 to 10 in a straight chain shape or a branch shape and R 3 denotes H or methyl.

8. A laminated product, comprising lamination including a vinylidene fluoride resin film comprising polyvinylinide fluoride whose average spherocrystal diameter is less than 0.1 μm by observation using a transmission electron microscope, the average spherocrystal diameter being obtained by shaping a vinylidene fluoride resin in a molten state by sandwiching the resin between rollers or metal belts so as to let it cool down,

wherein the vinylidene fluoride resin is a composition comprising 50 to 99.9parts by weight of a vinylidene fluoride resin (D) and 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a methacrylic resin composition (C).

9. The laminated product according to claim 8 , manufactured by injection molding.

10. A laminated product, comprising lamination including a vinylidene fluoride resin film and a methacrylic resin film, the vinylidene fluoride resin film comprising polyvinylidene fluoride whose average spherocrystal diameter is less than 0.1 μm by observation using a transmission electron microscope, the average spherocrystal diameter being obtained by co-extruding a vinylidene fluoride resin and a methacrylic resin composition (C) and by sandwiching the resins in a molten state between rollers or metal belts so as to let them cool down,

wherein the vinylidene fluoride resin is a composition comprising 50 to 99.9 parts by weight of a vinylidene fluoride resin (D) and 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a methacrylic resin composition (C).

11. The laminated product according to claim 10 , manufactured by injection molding.
