Abstract

A polycarbonate thin molded article containing a resin composition, the resin composition containing: 100 parts by weight of a resin (A), the resin (A) being an aromatic polycarbonate or a resin mainly containing an aromatic polycarbonate; 0.1 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic compound (B); 0.001 to 10 parts by weight of at least one compound (C) selected from an organic acidic compound and an organic acidic compound derivative; and 0.001 to 1 part by weight of at least one metal salt (D) selected from an organic acid alkali metal salt and an organic acid alkaline earth metal salt, a part corresponding to at least 50% of the surface area of the polycarbonate thin molded article having a thickness of less than 0.7 mm, and a shrinkage ratio S1(%) in a molding flow direction of the polycarbonate thin molded article upon its being left under an atmosphere of 170° C. for 30 minutes satisfying the following formula (1): −60< S 1<−1  formula (1).

Claims (38)

1. A polycarbonate thin molded article having a sheet or film shape, comprising a resin composition, the resin composition comprising:

100 parts by weight of a resin (A), the resin (A) being an aromatic polycarbonate or a resin mainly containing an aromatic polycarbonate;

0.1 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic compound (B);

0.001 to 10 parts by weight of at least one compound (C) selected from the group consisting of an organic sulfonic acid, an organic carboxylic acid, an organic phosphoric acid and an organic sulfonic acid ester; and

0.001 to 1 part by weight of at least one metal salt (D) selected from an organic acid alkali metal salt and an organic acid alkaline earth metal salt,

a part corresponding to at least 50% of the surface area of the polycarbonate thin molded article having a thickness of less than 0.5 mm, and

a shrinkage ratio S1 (%) in a molding flow direction of the polycarbonate thin molded article upon its being left under an atmosphere of 170° C. for 30 minutes satisfying the following formula:

−60 <S 1<−10.5,

wherein the polycarbonate thin molded article has flame retardancy represented by V-0 or VTM-0 in the test method in accordance with UL94 standard.

2. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 1 ,

wherein the birefringent index of the polycarbonate thin molded article is from 0.00001 to 0.002.

3. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resin composition further comprising 1 part by weight or less of a fluoropolymer (E).

4. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 1 ,

wherein the compound (C) is contained in such an amount that a mixture of the inorganic compound (B) and the compound (C) has a pH value of from 4 to 8.

5. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 3 ,

wherein X and Y satisfy the formula (2) and the formula (3):

0.15 ≦X≦ 0.5  formula (2)

0.05 ≦Y≦ 0.4  formula (3)

wherein the ratio of the metal salt (D) in the resin composition is X % by weight and the ratio of the fluorine compound component of the fluoropolymer (E) in the resin composition is Y % by weight.

6. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 5 ,

wherein X and Y satisfy the formula (4), the formula (5) and the formula (6):

0.15 ≦X   (formula (4)

0.05 ≦Y   formula (5)

7. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polycarbonate thin molded article is flame retardant, and

a shrinkage ratio S1 (%) in a molding flow direction of the polycarbonate thin molded article upon it is left under an atmosphere of 170° C. for 30 minutes satisfies the following formula:

−30 <S 1<−10.5.

8. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 1 ,

wherein a shrinkage ratio S1 (%) in a molding flow direction of the polycarbonate thin molded article upon it is left under an atmosphere of 170° C. for 30 minutes satisfies the following formula:

−49.5 <S 1<−10.5, and

wherein a shrinkage ratio S2 (%) in a molding vertical direction of the polycarbonate thin molded article satisfies the following formula:

12 <S 2<10.

9. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polycarbonate thin molded article is an insulating sheet or insulating film.

10. The polycarbonate thin molded article according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polycarbonate thin molded article is a molded article for electronic or electric devices.
