Abstract

The present invention relates to an environmentally friendly flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition having scratch resistance, which includes a specific (meth)acrylic flame-retardant copolymer to improve flame retardancy and scratch resistance.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1. A polycarbonate resin composition comprising: (A) a polycarbonate resin; and (B) a (meth)acrylic flame retardant copolymer,
wherein the (B) (meth)acrylic flame retardant copolymer comprises: (b1) a phosphorus-based (meth)acrylic monomer represented by Formula 1; (b2) an aromatic (meth)acrylate represented by Formula 2, a cycloaliphatic (meth)acrylate represented by Formula 3, or a combination thereof; and (b3) optionally a functional-group containing unsaturated monomer, wherein the (b3) functional-group containing unsaturated monomer comprises (meth)acrylic ester, unsaturated carboxylic acid, unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride, acid anhydride, unsaturated carboxylic acid ester having hydroxyl groups, unsaturated carboxylic acid amide or a combination thereof:

wherein R 1 is —H or —(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 , n is an integer from 0 to 5, and R 3 is

wherein t is an integer from 1 to 10, R 4 and R 5 are the same or different and are each independently —O(CH 2 ) q R, q is an integer from 0 to 3, and R is methyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, methylphenyl, methylethylphenyl, propylphenyl, methoxyphenyl, cyclohexylphenyl, chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, phenylphenyl or benzylphenyl;

wherein R 1 is —H or —(CH 2 )n—CH 3 , n is an integer from 0 to 5, m is an integer from 0 to 10, and X is cyclohexyl, phenyl, methylphenyl, methylethylphenyl, methoxyphenyl, propylphenyl, cyclohexylphenyl, chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, phenylphenyl or benzylphenyl;

wherein R 1 is —H or —(CH 2 )n—CH 3 , n is an integer from 0 to 5, m is an integer from 0 to 10, Y is oxygen or sulfur, and Z is cyclohexyl, phenyl, methylphenyl, methylethylphenyl, methoxyphenyl, cyclohexylphenyl, chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, phenylphenyl or benzylphenyl.

2. The polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (B) (meth)acrylic flame retardant copolymer comprises about 1 wt % to about 50 wt % of the (b1) phosphorus-based (meth)acrylic monomer, about 1 wt % to about 99 wt % of the (b2) aromatic (meth)acrylate and/or cycloaliphatic (meth)acrylate, and 0 wt % to about 98 wt % of the (b3) functional-group containing unsaturated monomer.

3. The polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (B) (meth)acrylic flame retardant copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of about 5,000 g/mol to about 500,000 g/mol.

4. The polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (B) (meth)acrylic flame retardant copolymer is present in an amount of about 1 part by weight to about 50 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin composition.

5. The polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (A) polycarbonate resin is present in an amount of about 50 parts by weight to about 99 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin composition.

6. The polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarbonate resin composition has a flame retardancy of V2 or more, as measured on a 3.2 mm thick specimen in accordance with UL94 vertical test method.

7. The polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarbonate resin composition has a scratch resistance width from about 200 μm to about 340 μm, as measured on a 2.5 mm thick specimen in accordance with a Ball-type Scratch Profile (BSP) test.

8. The polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarbonate resin composition further comprises at least one additive selected from the group consisting of flame retardants, surfactants, nucleating agents, coupling agents, fillers, plasticizers, impact modifiers, lubricants, antibacterial agents, release agents, heat stabilizers, antioxidants, light stabilizers, compatibilizers, inorganic additives, colorants, stabilizers, lubricating agents, antistatic agents, pigments, dyes, flame-proofing agents, and mixtures thereof.

9. A molded article prepared from the polycarbonate resin composition according to claim 1 .
