Abstract

The present invention relates to a copolycarbonate resin composition comprising a copolycarbonate in which a specific siloxane compound is introduced in a main chain of the polycarbonate, and a UV stabilizer. Since the present copolycarbonate resin composition has excellent weather resistance, the article prepared by using this composition exhibits less deteriorated surface quality and physical properties caused by ultraviolet rays or the like when exposed to the outside.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A copolycarbonate composition comprising:
(a) a copolycarbonate comprising an aromatic polycarbonate-based first repeating unit; and one or more aromatic polycarbonate-based second repeating units having siloxane bonds, and
(b) a UV stabilizer,
wherein the copolycarbonate composition has ΔYI of not more than 7 as measured according to the following Equation 1:
ΔYI=YI(500 hours)−YI(0 hour)  [Equation 1]

in the Equation 1,
YI (0 hour) is YI (Yellow Index) measured in accordance with ASTM D1925 with respect to the copolycarbonate composition, and
YI (500 hours) is YI (Yellow Index) measured in accordance with ASTM D1925 with respect to the copolycarbonate composition, after irradiating ultraviolet rays of 340 nm to the composition with a light quantity of 0.55 w/m 2 at 60° C. for 500 hours in accordance with ASTM D4329,
wherein the second repeating unit comprises a repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 2 and a repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 3:

in Chemical Formula 2,
each of X 1 is independently C 1-10 alkylene,
each of R 5 is independently hydrogen; C 1-15 alkyl unsubstituted or substituted with oxiranyl, oxiranyl-substituted C 1-10 alkoxy, or C 6-20 aryl; halogen; C 1-10 alkoxy; allyl; C 1-10 haloalkyl; or C 6-20 aryl, and
n is an integer of 10 to 200,

in Chemical Formula 3,

m is an integer of 10 to 200, and
wherein the UV stabilizer is represented by Chemical Formula 4:

in Chemical Formula 4,
R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 are each independently hydrogen, hydroxy, halogen, or hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and
Y 2 and Y 3 are each independently hydrogen; hydrocarbon group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, wherein the hydrocarbon group may further comprise a nitrogen atom or an oxygen atom.
