Abstract

Five to eighty-five percent by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate resin (A component) having a weight-average molecular weight (polystyrene equivalent) of 27000 to 35000, 0.2 to 10 percent by weight of an impact strength improver (D component), 0.05 to 4 percent by weight of a core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant (E component) having a sulfonate group bonded to a particle surface layer portion, 5 to 20 percent by weight of an inorganic filler (F component), and 0.1 to 0.5 percent by weight of a polyfluoroolefin resin (G component) are mixed.

Claims (22)

1. A flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition comprising:

5 to 85 percent by weight of a first aromatic polycarbonate resin having a weight-average molecular weight (polystyrene equivalent) of 27,000 to 35,000;

0.2 to 10 percent by weight of an impact strength improver;

0.05 to 4 percent by weight of a core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant having a particle-shaped inner core portion having a diameter and a particle surface layer portion disposed outside the particle-shaped inner core portion and not disposed inside the particle-shaped inner core portion, wherein a sulfonate group is bonded to the particle surface layer portion, wherein the core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant contains 0.5 to 3.5 percent by weight of the sulfonate group, on a sulfur basis, bonded to a styrene-based polymer having the weight-average molecular weight (polystyrene equivalent) of 90,000 to 300,000;

5 to 20 percent by weight of an inorganic filler; and

0.1 to 0.5 percent by weight of a polyfluoroolefin resin.

2. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , further comprising 30 to 84 percent by weight of a second aromatic polycarbonate resin having the weight-average molecular weight (polystyrene equivalent) of 40,000 to 60,000.

3. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 2 , further comprising 5 to 15 percent by weight of an acrylonitrile-styrene-based resin having the weight-average molecular weight (polystyrene equivalent) of 90,000 to 140,000.

4. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant contains a copolymer of styrene and a monomer other than styrene, and the sulfonate group bonded to the copolymer.

5. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the first aromatic polycarbonate resin having the weight-average molecular weight (polystyrene equivalent) of 27,000 to 35,000 is an aromatic polycarbonate resin for making optical substrates.

6. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the first or second aromatic polycarbonate resin comprises recycled material.

7. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , comprising 10 to 40 percent by weight of the first aromatic polycarbonate resin.

8. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , comprising 30 to 63 percent by weight of the second aromatic polycarbonate resin.

9. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 3 , wherein the acrylonitrile-styrene-based resin comprises a melt flow rate at 200 C and 5 kg of less than 15.

10. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 3 , wherein the acrylonitrile-styrene-based resin comprises an acrylonitrile content of 15 to 50 percent by weight.

11. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the impact strength improver comprises a rubberlike elastic material.

12. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , comprising 0.5 to 7.5 percent by weight of the impact strength improver.

13. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant includes a monomer other than styrene comprising at least one of acrylonitrile, a-methylstyrene, butadiene, isoprene, pentadiene, cyclopentadiene, ethylene, propylene, butene, isobutylene, vinyl chloride, vinyltoluene, vinylnaphthalene, acrylic acid, acrylic acid esters, methacrylic acid, methacrylic acid esters, maleic acid, fumaric acid, ethylene glycol, phthalic anhydride, or N-phenylmaleimide.

14. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer other than styrene comprises 0 to 60 percent weight of the core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant.

15. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the particle surface layer portion has a thickness of half or less than the diameter of the particle-shaped inner core portion.

16. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , comprising 0.2 to 1 percent by weight of the core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant.

17. The flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the core-shell-type styrene-based polymer flame retardant is 250 microns or less.
