Abstract

A polycarbonate resin composition and a molded article for automotive parts manufactured using the same. The thermoplastic resin composition includes: (A) a polycarbonate resin; (B) a rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer comprising (B-1) a first rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer comprising a rubber polymer having an average particle diameter of about 230 nm to about 380 nm and (B-2) a second rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer comprising a rubber polymer having an average particle diameter of about 60 nm to about 200 nm; (C) an aromatic vinyl-vinyl cyanide copolymer; and (D) a (meth)acrylic copolymer. The thermoplastic resin composition can have excellent properties in terms of heat stability and gloss.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A thermoplastic resin composition comprising:
(A) about 65 wt % to about 85 wt % of a polycarbonate resin;
(B) about 2 wt % to about 15 wt % of a rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer comprising (B-1) a first rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer comprising a rubber polymer having a particle diameter D50 of about 230 nm to about 380 nm and (B-2) a second rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer comprising a rubber polymer having a particle diameter D50 of about 60 nm to about 200 nm, wherein at least one of (B-1) and/or (B-2) comprises an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene graft copolymer (g-ABS);
(C) about 2 wt % to about 25 wt % of an aromatic vinyl-vinyl cyanide copolymer; and
(D) about 5 wt % to about 30 wt % of a (meth)acrylic copolymer,
each based on the total weight of the polycarbonate resin (A), the rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer (B), the aromatic vinyl-vinyl cyanide copolymer (C), and the (meth)acrylic copolymer (D),
wherein a molded article manufactured using the thermoplastic resin composition has a gloss of 104 GU to 110 GU as measured at a reflection angle of 20° and a gloss of 102 GU to 105 GU as measured at a reflection angle of 60° in accordance with ASTM D523.

2. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer (B) comprises the first rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer (B-1) and the second rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer (B-2) in a weight ratio of about 1:0.25 to about 1:4.

3. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic vinyl-vinyl cyanide copolymer (C) comprises a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer.

4. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (meth)acrylic copolymer (D) comprises a methyl methacrylate copolymer.

5. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (meth)acrylic copolymer (D) comprises a methyl methacrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (MSAN).

6. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 5 , wherein a weight ratio of the aromatic vinyl-vinyl cyanide copolymer (C) to the methyl methacrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (MSAN) ranges from about 1:0.25 to about 1:4.

7. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (meth)acrylic copolymer (D) comprises a methyl methacrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene graft copolymer (g-MABS).

8. A molded article for automotive parts manufactured using the thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 .

9. The molded article for automotive parts according to claim 8 , wherein the molded article includes a black colorant and has a brightness (L) of less than about 29, as measured by the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) Lab color system on a molded article having a size of 9 cm×5 cm×0.2 cm.

10. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the second rubber-modified vinyl graft copolymer (B-2) comprises a rubber polymer having a particle diameter D50 of about 60 nm to about 180 nm.

11. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a molded article manufactured using the thermoplastic resin composition including a black colorant has a brightness (L) of less than about 29, as measured by the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) Lab color system on a molded article having a size of 9 cm×5 cm×0.2 cm.
