Abstract

A resin composition includes a cellulose ester compound (A); polylactic acid (B); and a polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) containing 10% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less of a constituent unit derived from styrene.

Claims (16)

1. A resin composition comprising:

a cellulose ester compound (A);

polylactic acid (B); and

a polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) containing 10% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less of a constituent unit derived from styrene, wherein

a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) is less than 50,000.

2. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose ester compound (A) is at least one selected from cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) and cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB).

3. The resin composition according to claim 2 , wherein the cellulose ester compound (A) is cellulose acetate propionate (CAP).

4. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) is a compound containing 50% by mass or more of a constituent unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester.

5. The resin composition according to claim 4 , wherein the polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) is at least one selected from a copolymer of styrene with the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having an alkyl chain having 1 or more and 8 or less carbon atoms, and a copolymer of styrene with the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having an alkyl chain having 1 or more and 8 or less carbon atoms and an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride.

6. The resin composition according to claim 5 , wherein the polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) is at least one selected from a copolymer of styrene with methyl methacrylate, and a copolymer of styrene with methyl methacrylate and maleic anhydride.

7. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a mass ratio of the polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) to a total of the polylactic acid (B) and the polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) is 0.15 or more and 0.55 or less.

8. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total mass ratio of the polylactic acid (B) and the polystyrene (meth)acrylate-based compound (C) to the cellulose ester compound (A) is 0.05 or more and less than 1.

9. The resin composition according to claim 7 , wherein a content of the cellulose ester compound (A) in the resin composition is 50% by mass or more.

10. A resin molded article comprising the resin composition according to claim 1 .

11. The resin molded article according to claim 10 , wherein when the resin molded article has a thickness of 2 mm, a haze value is 10% or less.

12. The resin molded article according to claim 10 , wherein the resin molded article is an injection molded article.
