Abstract

Provided is a resin composition containing: cellulose acylate (A); at least a polymer (B) selected from a group consisting of: a polymer (b1) having a core-shell structure including a core layer containing a butadiene polymer, and a shell layer located on an surface of the core layer and containing a polymer selected from a styrene polymer and an acrylonitrile-styrene polymer; a styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (b2); polyurethane (b3); and aromatic polyester (b4); and a plasticizer (C). A resin molded article obtained by molding the resin composition satisfies at least one of the following conditions (1) and (2): (1) a heat distortion temperature measured in accordance with an ASTM D648-07 B method is 95° C. or less; and (2) a heat distortion temperature measured in accordance with an ISO 75-2 A method (2013) is 80° C. or less.

Claims (40)

cellulose acrylate (A), wherein the degree of substitution of the cellulose acrylate (A) is 2.1 to 2.9;

at least a polymer (B) selected from the group consisting of:

a polymer (b1) having a core-shell structure including:

a core layer containing a butadiene polymer, and

a shell layer located on a surface of the core layer and containing a polymer selected from a styrene polymer and an acrylonitrile-styrene polymer;

a styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (b2);

polyurethane (b3); and

aromatic polyester (b4); and

a plasticizer (C), wherein the plasticizer is at least one selected from a group consisting of a cardanol compound, dicarboxylic acid diester, citrate, a polyether compound having one or more unsaturated bonds, a polyether ester compound, glycol benzoate, a compound represented by the following General Formulae (6) and epoxidized fatty acid ester:

wherein, in the General Formula (6),

R 61 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 7 to 28 carbon atoms, and

R 62 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms;

wherein the cellulose acrylate (A) is at least one selected from a group consisting of cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate, and cellulose acetate butyrate;

wherein the polymer (B) is present in an amount in a mass ratio of (B):(A) in the range of 0.05 to 0.2;

wherein the plasticizer (C) is present in an amount in a mass ratio of (C):(A) in the range of 0.03 to 0.2;

wherein a resin molded article obtained by molding the resin composition has a heat distortion temperature according to at least one of the following (1) and/or (2):
