Abstract

Provided is a film having high crystallinity, transparency, and surface smoothness, a lamination of the film, a sheet of the film, and a laminated body. A film contains vinylidene fluoride-based resin (A) and acrylic-based resin (B). The film has at least one surface with arithmetic mean roughness of 0.1 to 20 nm. The at least one surface has crystal fusion heat of 18 to 40 J/g and a haze value of 3.5 or less, the crystal fusion heat being measured using a differential scanning calorimeter.

Claims (22)

1. A film containing vinylidene fluoride-based resin (A) and acrylic-based resin (B), wherein the film has at least one surface with arithmetic mean roughness of 0.1 to 20 nm,

the film having crystal fusion heat of 18 to 40 J/g and a haze value of 3.5 or less, and the crystal fusion heat being measured using a differential scanning calorimeter.

2. A method of manufacturing a film containing vinylidene fluoride-based resin (A) and acrylic-based resin (B), wherein the film has at least one surface with arithmetic mean roughness of 0.1 to 20 nm, the film having crystal fusion heat of 18 to 40 J/g and a haze value of 3.5 or less, and the crystal fusion heat being measured using a differential scanning calorimeter, comprising:

melt-extruding a resin composition containing 75 to 95% by mass of the vinylidene fluoride-based resin (A) and 5 to 25% by mass of the acrylic-based resin (B),

wherein the vinylidene fluoride-based resin (A) has a melt mass-flow rate equal to or more than 10 [g/10 minutes], and

the melt mass-flow rate is measured in compliance with JISK7210 under conditions of 230° C. and a load of 3.8 kg.

3. A method of manufacturing a film, comprising

melt-extruding a resin composition containing 75 to 95% by mass of vinylidene fluoride-based resin (A) and 5 to 25% by mass of acrylic-based resin (B), and

subsequently bringing the obtained melt extrudate into contact with at least one chill roll having the surface temperature of 35 to 75° C.,

wherein the vinylidene fluoride-based resin (A) has a melt mass-flow rate equal to or more than 10 [g/10 minutes] minutes, and

the melt mass-flow rate is measured in compliance with JISK7210 under conditions of 230° C. and a load of 3.8 kg.

4. The method of manufacturing the film according to claim 2 , wherein the acrylic-based resin (B) is resin containing equal to or more than 50% by mass of an alkyl methacrylate unit, wherein the alkyl methacrylate unit contains an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

5. A film obtained by the manufacturing method according to claim 2 .

6. A film obtained by the manufacturing method according to claim 4 .

7. A laminated film or a laminated sheet, wherein a thermoplastic resin layer is laminated on the film according to claim 5 .

8. A laminated film or a laminated sheet wherein a thermoplastic resin layer is laminated on the film according to claim 6 .

9. A laminated body, wherein a base material is laminated on the film according to claim 5 .

10. A laminated body, wherein a base material is laminated on the film according to claim 6 .

11. A laminated film or a laminated sheet, wherein a thermoplastic resin layer is laminated on the film according to claim 1 .

12. A laminated body, wherein a base material is laminated on the film according to claim 1 .

13. The method of manufacturing the film according to claim 3 , wherein the acrylic-based resin (B) is resin containing equal to or more than 50% by mass of an alkyl methacrylate unit, wherein the alkyl methacrylate unit contains an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

14. A film obtained by the manufacturing method according to claim 3 .
