Abstract

A resin composition contains cellulose acetate (A) having a degree of substitution of about 2.1 or more and about 2.6 or less, a plasticizer (B), a polyhydroxyalkanoate (C), and an olefin-(meth)acrylate copolymer (D).

Claims (18)

1. A resin composition comprising:

cellulose acetate (A) having a degree of substitution of about 2.1 or more and about 2.6 or less;

a plasticizer (B);

a polyhydroxyalkanoate (C); and

an olefin-(meth)acrylate copolymer (D).

2. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer (B) is at least one selected from the group consisting of an adipic acid ester-containing compound and a polyether ester compound.

3. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyhydroxyalkanoate (C) has a structural unit represented by formula (I) below:

in formula (I), R 11 represents an alkylene group having 1 or more and 10 or less carbon atoms, and p represents an integer of 1 or more.

4. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyhydroxyalkanoate (C) is a copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyhexanoate.

5. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the olefin-(meth)acrylate copolymer (D) is an ethylene-alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymer.

6. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the olefin-(meth)acrylate copolymer (D) is an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer.

7. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition comprises about 5 parts by mass or more and about 23 parts by mass or less of the plasticizer (B) relative to 100 parts by mass of the cellulose acetate (A).

8. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition comprises about 0.5 parts by mass or more and about 10 parts by mass or less of the polyhydroxyalkanoate (C) relative to 100 parts by mass of the cellulose acetate (A).

9. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition comprises about 1 part by mass or more and about 7.5 parts by mass or less of the polyhydroxyalkanoate (C) relative to 100 parts by mass of the cellulose acetate (A).

10. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition comprises about 0.5 parts by mass or more and about 13 parts by mass or less of the olefin-(meth)acrylate copolymer (D) relative to 100 parts by mass of the cellulose acetate (A).

11. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition comprises about 1 part by mass or more and about 10.5 parts by mass or less of the olefin-(meth)acrylate copolymer (D) relative to 100 parts by mass of the cellulose acetate (A).

12. The resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a percentage of the cellulose acetate (A) in a total amount of the resin composition is about 50 mass % or more and about 95 mass % or less.

13. A resin molded body formed of the resin composition according to claim 1 .
