Abstract

A transparent laminated film is described, which has excellent chemical resistance and surface hardness, is glossy even after heating and which has a low haze value, and a laminated molded article that uses the film.

Claims (35)

1. A laminated film comprising:

a layer of a polymer blend (X) comprising a vinylidene fluoride resin (F) and an acrylic resin (A1); and

a layer of an acrylic resin composition (Y),

wherein

the acrylic resin (A1) has a glass transition temperature of 95 to 120° C.,

the vinylidene fluoride resin (F) has a hetero linkage rate of no greater than 10%, and

the laminated film satisfies the following conditions (1) to (3):

(1) a haze value of no greater than 2 after the film is heated to 180° C. and then allowed to naturally cool until the temperature drops to 25° C.;

(2) a pencil hardness of the layer of the polymer blend (X) is HB or harder; and

(3) a heat of crystal fusion of the polymer blend (X) as determined using a differential scanning calorimeter is 22.1 to 40 J/g.

2. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic resin composition (Y) comprises a rubber-containing polymer (G) and a thermoplastic polymer (A2) that contains at least 50% by mass of an alkyl methacrylate ester unit.

3. The laminated film according to claim 2 , wherein the rubber-containing polymer (G) is a rubber-containing polymer obtained by graft polymerization of a monomer mixture (g) specified below in the presence of a polymer (C) obtained by polymerization of a monomer mixture (c), wherein:

the monomer mixture (c) comprises:

(c1) 50 to 99.9% by mass of an alkyl acrylate ester;

(c2) 0 to 49.9% by mass of an alkyl methacrylate ester;

(c3) 0 to 20% by mass of another monomer having at least one polymerizable double bond; and

(c4) 0.1 to 10% by mass of a polyfunctional monomer having at least 2 polymerizable double bonds,

wherein a polymer obtained from the monomer mixture (c) has a glass transition temperature of lower than 25° C., and

wherein the monomer mixture (g) comprises:

(g1) 0 to 20% by mass of an alkyl acrylate ester;

(g2) 51 to 100% by mass of an alkyl methacrylate ester; and

(g3) 0 to 49% by mass of another monomer having 1 polymerizable double bond.

4. A laminated molded article comprising the laminated film according to claim 1 .

5. A method for manufacturing a laminated molded article comprising: vacuum-molding or pressure-molding the laminated film according to claim 1 in a first mold to thereby prepare a preform molded body; and

injection-molding a resin as a base material in a second mold to thereby integrate the preform molded body with the base material.

6. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein a content ratio of the vinylidene fluoride resin (F) in the polymer blend (X) is 62 to 78% by mass.

7. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein the heat of crystal fusion of the polymer blend (X) as determined using a differential scanning calorimeter is 22.1 to 30 J/g.

8. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic resin included in the polymer blend (X) has a mass average molecular weight of from at least 30,000 to less than 200,000.

9. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic resin present in the polymer blend (X) is a polymer obtained from a monomer of either acrylic ester or methacrylic ester.

10. The laminated film according to claim 9 , wherein the methacrylic ester is selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate, tert-butylcyclohexyl methacrylate, and isobornyl methacrylate.

11. The laminated film according to claim 9 , wherein the methacrylic ester is an alkyl methacrylate ester where the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is no greater than 4.

12. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic resin present in the polymer blend (X) is a polymer obtained from both acrylic ester and methacrylic ester.

13. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic resin present in the polymer blend (X) is a polymer comprising at least 70% by mass of a methacrylic ester unit.

14. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic resin present in the polymer blend (X) is a polymer comprising at least 80% by mass of an alkyl methacrylic ester unit.

15. The laminated film according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a thickness of the layer (X) to a thickness of the layer (Y) is 1/25 to 1/4.
