Abstract

The invention provides a thermoplastic resin composition, which does not substantially compromise color rendering and flame retardance of a thermoplastic resin and has high impact resistance, slidability, and chemical resistance in a wide scope of environmental conditions ranging from low temperature to high temperature. A graft copolymer (G F2 ) containing rubber is a graft copolymer containing rubber formed by performing graft polymerization of 1 or more vinyl monomers on a composite rubber containing a polyorganosiloxane (B1) and a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate (B2). The content of a component derived from a silane compound containing a vinyl-based polymerizable group in the polyorganosiloxane (B1) is 1 mass % to 10 mass %. The volume-average particle size of the graft copolymer containing rubber is 300 nm to 2000 nm. The content of the polyorganosiloxane (B1) in the graft copolymer containing rubber is 70 mass % to 98 mass %. An acetone soluble matter is 5.0 mass % or more and 30.0 mass % or less.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A graft copolymer comprising rubber formed by performing graft polymerization of 1 or more vinyl monomers on a rubber containing a polyorganosiloxane (B1), wherein a content of a component derived from a silane compound containing a vinyl-based polymerizable group in the polyorganosiloxane (B1) is 1 mass % to 10 mass %, a volume-average particle size of the graft copolymer containing rubber is 300 nm to 2000 nm, a content of the polyorganosiloxane (B1) in the graft copolymer containing rubber is 70 mass % to 85 mass %, a content of a component derived from the 1 or more vinyl monomers in the graft copolymer containing rubber is 0.1 mass % to 1.5 mass % and a grafting rate obtained from the following formula (1) is 10 mass % or less,

wa: mass (g) of acetone insoluble matter of sample,
wo: total amount (g) of sample,
R: fraction (mass %) of the rubber containing the polyorganosiloxane (B1) in a raw material added in a production of the graft copolymer.

2. The graft copolymer containing rubber of claim 1 , wherein the rubber containing a polyorganosiloxane (B1) is a composite rubber containing a polyorganosiloxane (B1) and a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate (B2) and an acetone soluble matter in the graft copolymer containing rubber is 5.0 mass % to 30.0 mass %.

3. The graft copolymer containing rubber of claim 2 , wherein a ratio B1/B2 of the polyorganosiloxane (B1) and the polyalkyl (meth) acrylate (B2) is 74/26 to 99/1 mass %.

4. The graft copolymer containing rubber of claim 1 , wherein the volume-average particle size is 400 nm to 1000 nm.
