Composite body of metal and thermoplastic resin
View Patent ↗Provided is a composite body in which a resin and a metal are contact-bonded with excellent adhesive force. Also provided is a composite body which is suppressed in decrease of bonding strength between a resin and a metal due to water absorption of the resin even if the composite body is left in rain or water, or is left in a high humidity environment or the like for a long period of time. The present invention relates to a composite body which is obtained by contact-bonding a thermoplastic resin (A) and a metal (B), and which is characterized in that the thermoplastic resin (A) is a polyamide elastomer (1A) or a thermoplastic resin composition (2A) that contains a water absorbent thermoplastic resin (2a) and a metal hydroxide (2b).
1. A composite body obtained by contact-bonding a thermoplastic resin (A) and a metal (B), wherein the thermoplastic resin (A) is a polyamide elastomer (1A) which has a polyamide unit as a hard segment and a polyether unit as a soft segment, the soft segment being an ABA type triblock polyether represented by the following Formula (1),
wherein x denotes 1 to 20, y denotes 4 to 50, and z denotes 1 to 20, and the metal (B) is a surface-treated metal or surface-untreated metal.
2. The composite body according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamide elastomer (1A) is a polyamide elastomer composition containing a polyether amide elastomer and an inorganic filler (1b).
3. The composite body according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic filler (1b) is at least one member selected from the group consisting of silicate mineral, hydroxide, graphite, and metal oxide.
4. The composite body according to claim 3 , wherein the inorganic filler (1b) is at least one member selected from the group consisting of talc, magnesium hydroxide, graphite, and magnesium oxide.
5. The composite body according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic filler (1b) is contained in the polyamide elastomer composition in an amount of 0.01 weight % to 50 weight %.
6. The composite body according to claim 2 , wherein the polyamide elastomer composition contains an aminosilane coupling agent.
7. The composite body according to claim 6 , wherein the aminosilane coupling agent is contained in the polyamide elastomer composition in an amount of 0.01 weight % to 1.0 weight %.
8. The composite body according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic resin (A) and the metal (B) are contact-bonded through injection molding.
9. The composite body according to claim 1 , wherein the surface treatment is a treatment for fine uneven surface processing to the surface thereof such that the metal surface is covered by microscopic recesses or hole openings of number-average diameter of 10 to 100 nm, or fixing a chemical substance to the surface thereof.
