Abstract

Provided is a joined body comprising a first joined member, a second joined member, and a joining layer that joins the first joined member and the second joined member, wherein the first joined member and the second joined member are each independently one selected from the group consisting of a metal member, a polyamide resin member, and a polyolefin resin member, and the joining layer is a layer formed of a resin composition having a co-continuous phase including a continuous phase A farmed of the polyamide resin and a continuous phase B formed of the polyolefin resin and has a dispersed domain a distributed in the continuous phase A, a finely dispersed subdomain a′ distributed in the dispersed domain a, a dispersed domain b distributed in the continuous phase B, and a finely dispersed subdomain b′ distributed in the dispersed domain b.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A joined body comprising:
a first joined member;
a second joined member; and

wherein the first joined member is a metal member and the second joined member is one selected from the group consisting of a metal member, a polyamide resin member, and a polyolefin resin member,
the first joining layer is a layer formed of a resin composition containing a polyamide resin, a polyolefin resin, a modified elastomer having a reactive group capable of reacting with the polyamide resin, and a reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer,
the resin composition has a co-continuous phase including a continuous phase A formed of the polyamide resin and a continuous phase B formed of the polyolefin resin and has a dispersed domain a distributed in the continuous phase A, a finely dispersed subdomain a′ distributed in the dispersed domain a, a dispersed domain b distributed in the continuous phase B, and a finely dispersed subdomain b′ distributed in the dispersed domain b,
the dispersed domain a is a dispersed domain formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of the polyolefin resin, and the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer,
the dispersed domain b is a dispersed domain formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of the polyamide resin, and the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer,
when the dispersed domain a is formed of the polyolefin resin, the finely dispersed subdomain a′ is a finely dispersed subdomain formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of the polyamide resin, the modified elastomer, and the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer,
when the dispersed domain a is formed of the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer, the finely dispersed subdomain a′ is a finely dispersed subdomain formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of the polyamide resin, the polyolefin resin, and the modified elastomer,
when the dispersed domain b is formed of the polyamide resin, the finely dispersed subdomain b′ is a finely dispersed subdomain formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of the polyolefin resin, the modified elastomer, and the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer,
when the dispersed domain b is formed of the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer, the finely dispersed subdomain b′ is a finely dispersed subdomain formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of the polyamide resin, the polyolefin resin, and the modified elastomer, and
an average thickness of the first joining layer is in a range of 300 to 700 μm.

2. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein a metal constituting at least one of the metal members is at least one selected from the group consisting of aluminum, iron, copper, and titanium.

3. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein
the second joined member is one selected from the group consisting of the polyamide resin member and the polyolefin resin member.

4. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamide resin blended in the resin composition contains at least one selected from the group consisting of polyamide 11, polyamide 12, polyamide 1010, and polyamide 1012.

5. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the modified elastomer is a copolymer of ethylene or propylene and an α-olefin having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, the copolymer having an acid anhydride group as the reactive group.

6. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition is a resin composition in which the dispersed domain a includes a dispersed domain formed of the polyolefin resin and a dispersed domain formed of the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer,
the dispersed domain b includes a dispersed domain formed of the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer,
the finely dispersed subdomain a′ includes a finely dispersed subdomain which is present in the dispersed domain a formed of the polyolefin resin and which is formed of the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer, and
the finely dispersed subdomain b′ includes a finely dispersed subdomain which is present in the dispersed domain b formed of the reaction product of the polyamide resin and the modified elastomer and which is formed of the modified elastomer.

7. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the first joined member and the second joined member are joined by the first joining layer by crimping while heating at a temperature in a range of 180 to 250° C.

8. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein an entirety of one surface of the first joined member and an entirety of one surface of the second joined member are joined by the first joining layer.

9. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of one surface of the first joined member and a portion of one surface of the second joined member are joined by the first joining layer.

10. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein a bonding strength of the first joining layer is in a range of 6.2 MPa to 13.1 MPa.
