The adhesion improving layer of the inventive thermoplastic laminate film shows superior adhesion strength in a broad range of applications. Specifically, it is evident in an ink layer of printing ink, UV ink and the like ; an adhesive layer in dry laminate and extrusion laminating ; a thin film layer obtained by vacuum vapor deposition, electron beam vapor deposition, sputtering ionic plating, CVD and plasma polymerization of metal or inorganic substance or oxides thereof ; an oxygen moisture absorbent layer ; an organic barrier layer ; an ink jet image receiving layer and the like.

Description: The present invention relates to a thermoplastic laminate film having an improved adhesive property. More particularly, the present invention relates to a thermoplastic laminate film exhibiting superior adhesion between a thermoplastic substrate film and an adhesion improving layer and between the adhesion improving layer and a layer formed thereon such as an adhesive layer for lamination or a thin film layer made from a metal, inorganic compound and oxide thereof, as well as superior resistance to water and solvent. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, a film made from a thermoplastic resin, such as polyolefin, polystyrene, poly(vinyl chloride), polyester, polyamide and the like, particularly an oriented film made from polypropylene, polyester, polyamide and the like have been widely used for their superior dynamic property, heat resistance, transparency and the like. In particular, a biaxially oriented polyester films are superior in mechanical strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance and dimensional stability, so that they have been used in a wide range of applications, such as a base film for magnetic tape, an insulating tape, a photographic film, a tracing film, a food packaging film and the like. On the other hand, since polyester films generally have poor adhesive property, it is a common practice to subject a polyester film to a corona discharge surface treatment or to form an anchor coating layer, when laminating thereon a layer of magnetic agent, photosensitive agent, mat agent and the like. As such anchor coating agent, a number of materials have been proposed, among which are water soluble or water dispersible polyester or acrylic resin to be used for a film having comparatively higher polarity, which is typically a polyester film (JP-A-54-43017, JP-A-49-10243 and US-A-4,098,952). The above-mentioned polyester resin is defective in that a film having an anchor coating layer made therefrom is susceptible to blocking when rolled, and the above-mentioned acrylic resin is defective in that an anchor coating layer therefrom sometimes shows insufficient adhesion to a layer to be formed thereon. In an attempt to overcome these drawbacks, it is proposed to use the above-mentioned polyester resin and acrylic resin in mixture JP-A-58-124651, though such method does not always satisfactorily compensate for the drawbacks. It has been also proposed to use various modified polyesters typically represented by one modified by grafting. For example, JP-A- 2-3307,2-171243 and 2-310048 teach that a resin obtained by grafting a compound having an unsaturated bond to a water soluble or water dispersible hydrophilic polyester resin is suitable as an anchor coating agent for a polyester film. Nevertheless, since in such a graft-modified resin, which has been made to have a hydrophilic group in advance in the polyester resin by, for example, copolymerization, the anchor coating layer therefrom is devoid of high adhesive property or water resistance. In such a case, addition of a crosslinking agent or an organic solvent is generally essential for complementing degraded properties. In addition, JP-A- 3-273015 discloses that a graft-modified polyester resin is useful as an anchor-coating agent for a polyester film. While an anchor coating layer therefrom shows improved adhesive property in a dry state, the resin has poor cohesion, such that the adhesive property of the anchor coating layer under humidity becomes less and the film increasingly suffers from peeling off of a layer formed on the anchor coating layer, development of flaws and the like, as the number of process increases. EP-A-0686651 discloses graft modified polyester resins and graft modified polyester polyurethane resins having excellent mechanical properties. It is therefore an object of the present invention to resolve the above-mentioned problems and provide a thermoplastic laminate film having superior adhesion between a substrate film and an adhesion improving layer and between the adhesion improving layer and a layer formed thereon, superior resistance to water and solvent, superior slidability and superior transparency. Accordingly, the present invention provides the following.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is explained in detail in the following. The thermoplastic laminate film of the present invention comprises a thermoplastic substrate film and a layer that improves adhesive property of the film, which is formed on the substrate film (hereinafter to be referred to as an adhesion improving layer). (thermoplastic substrate film) The thermoplastic substrate film to be used in the present invention is exemplified by polyester film, polyolefin film (e.g., polypropylene film), polystyrene film, poly(vinyl chloride) film, polyamide film. In the present invention, the above-mentioned thermoplastic substrate film may contain a slidability imparting agent, such as a particle lubricant and organic lubricant, to prevent blocking between films and to improve slidability. The particle lubricant is exemplified by inorganic fine particles such as silica, alumina and calcium carbonate, crosslinked acrylic particles, crosslinked polystyrene particles and the like. The organic lubricant includes higher fatty acid amides such as stearic acid amide, behenic acid amide, erucic acid amide, N-stearylstearic acid amide, ethylenebisbehenic acid amide, ethylenebisstearic acid amide and the like, aliphatic acid metal salts, fatty acid esters and the like. The particle lubricant and organic lubricant may be used alone or concurrently on demand. The above-mentioned particle lubricant and organic lubricant are preferably contained in a proportion of 0.05-1.0 wt%, and more preferably 0.15-0.7 wt% in the thermoplastic substrate film. When the content is less than 0.05 wt%, the film may show insufficient slidability, whereas when it exceeds 1.0 wt%, the film may show poor transparency. In the present invention, the particle lubricant and/or organic lubricant have/has an average particle size of 0.5-5.0 µm, particularly 1.0-4.0 µm. When the average particle size is less than 0.5 µm, the film may fail to show sufficient slidability, whereas when it exceeds 5.0 µm, the film may show poor transparency and poor halftone printability. In the present invention, various additives may be added as long as the object and property of the thermoplastic laminate film are not impaired. Examples of the additive include antioxidant, light resistant, gelation preventive, pigment, antistatic agent, surfactant and the like. This thermoplastic substrate film can be produced by a known production method. The thermoplastic substrate film for use can be unoriented or oriented. For an improved processing property of the film, the inventive thermoplastic laminate film is preferably used upon monoaxial or biaxial orientation. The film can be drawn by a known method, such as tenter sequential biaxial orientation, tenter simultaneous biaxial orientation, tubular method and the like. (adhesion improving layer) In the present invention, the adhesion improving layer is formed from a resin composition comprising a polyester graft copolymer (A) and a resin (B). The polyester graft copolymer (A) is obtained by grafting at least one polymerizable unsaturated monomer, which comprises an acid anhydride having a double bond, to a hydrophobic polyester resin, and the resin (B) comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin and a vinyl resin or a copolymer comprising at least two members selected of the groups consisting of a polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin and a vinyl resin. In the present invention, by "grafting" in the polyester graft copolymer (A) is meant introduction of a branched polymer (polymer made of polymerizable unsaturated monomer) distinct from the polymer main chain (hydrophobic polyester) into the polymer main chain. hydrophobic polyester resin In the present invention, the hydrophobic polyester resin needs to be essentially insoluble in water, which means it inherently does not dissolve or cannot be dispersed in water easily. The dicarboxylic acid component of said hydrophobic polyester resin comprises an aromatic dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 30-99.5 mol%, an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and/or an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 0-70 mol% and a polymerizable unsaturated double bond-containing dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 0.5-10 mol%, particularly, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 60-99.5 mol%, an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and/or an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 0-40 mol%, and a polymerizable unsaturated double bond-containing dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 0.5-10 mol%. When the aromatic dicarboxylic acid is less than 30 mol% or when aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and/or alicyclic dicarboxylic acid exceed(s) 70 mol%, adhesion strength of the adhesion improving layer tends to be decreased. When the polymerizable unsaturated double bond-containing dicarboxylic acid is less than 0.5 mol%, polymerizable unsaturated monomer may not be efficiently grafted to hydrophobic polyester resin, and conversely, when it exceeds 10 mol%, the viscosity increases too much in the latter half of the graft polymerization, which may unpreferably prevent uniform progress of the graft polymerization. More preferably, the aromatic dicarboxylic acid is contained in a proportion of 70-98 mol%, the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and/or alicyclic dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 0-30 mol%, and the polymerizable unsaturated double bond-containing dicarboxylic acid in a proportion of 2-7 mol%. Examples of aromatic dicarboxylic acid include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, orthophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and biphenyldicarboxylic acid The use of hydrophilic group-containing aromatic dicarboxylic acid is acceptable, by which the resultant thermoplastic laminate film has an improved transparency. The hydrophilic group-containing aromatic dicarboxylic acid is added in a proportion of not more than 5.0 mol% in the dicarboxylic acid component. When it exceeds 5.0 mol%, the resultant thermoplastic laminate film may have lower water resistance. The hydrophilic group is exemplified by carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, phosphoric acid group, phosphorous acid group, sulfonic acid group, and amide group. Examples of aliphatic dicarboxylic acid include succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedicarboxylic acid, and dimer acid. examples of alicyclic dicarboxylic add include 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and acid anhydride thereof. Examples of polymerizable unsaturated double bond-containing dicarboxylic acid include α, β-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid such as fumaric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, and citraconic acid. unsaturated double bond-containing alicyclic dicarboxylic acid such as 2,5-norbomenedicarboxylic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, and anhydrides thereof. Of these, preferred in view of polymerizability are fumaric acid, maleic acid and 2,5-norbornenedicarboxylic acid. Examples of glycol component of the hydrophobic polyester resin include at least one member from aliphatic glycol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, alicyclic glycol having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, ether bond-containing glycol, which may be used alone or in combination. Exemplified as aliphatic glycol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms are ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,6-hexanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 1,9-nonanediol, and 2-ethyl-2-butylpropanediol. Examples of alicyclic glycol having 6 to 12 carbon atoms include 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Examples of ether bond-containing glycol include diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, glycols obtained by adding ethylene oxide or propylene oxide to two phenolic hydroxyl groups of bisphenols, such as 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl)propane. Where necessary, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol and the like may be used. A polycarboxylic acid and/or a polyol, both having three or more functional groups, may be copolymerized into the hydrophobic polyester resin in a proportion of 0-5 mol%. Examples of polycarboxylic acid having three or more functional groups include (anhydrous) trimellitic acid, (anhydrous) pyromellitic acid, (anhydrous) benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid, trimesic acid, ethylene glycol bis(anhydrous trimellitate), and glycerol tris(anhydrous trimellitate). Examples of polyol having three or more functional groups include glycerol, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, and pentaerythritol. The polycarboxylic acid and/or polyol, both having three or more functional groups, are/is contained in a proportion of 0-5 mol%, preferably 0-3 mol%, of the entire acid component or entire glycol component. When they/it exceed(s) 5 mol%, the polyester resin easily becomes a gel during polymerization. The weight average molecular weight of the hydrophobic polyester resin is preferably 5000-50000. When the molecular weight is less than 5000, adhesive strength of the adhesion improving layer tends to become poor, whereas when it exceeds 50000, gelation during polymerization tends to occur. Polymerisable unsaturated monomer The polymerizable unsaturated monomer may be, for example, fumaric acid; monoesters or diesters of fumaric acid, such as monoethyl fumarate, diethyl fumarate and dibutyl fumarate; maleic acid and anhydride thereof; monoesters or diesters of maleic acid, such as monoethyl maleate, diethyl maleate and dibutyl maleate; itaconic acid and anhydrides thereof; monoesters or diesters of itaconic acid; maleimides such as phenyl maleimide; styrene; styrene derivatives such as α-methylstyrene, t-butylstyrene, chloromethylstyrene, vinyl toluene and divinyl benzene, An acrylic polymerizable monomer, which is one of the polymerizable unsaturated monomers, is, for example, alkyl (meth)acrylates wherein alkyl is exemplified by methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, 2-ethylhexyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, benzyl, and phenylethyl. hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylic monomers such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate and 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate; amide group-containing (meth)acrylic monomers such as acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-methylmethacrylamide, N-methylacrylamide, N-methylolacrylamide, N-methylolmethacrylamide, N,N-dimethylolacrylamide, N-methoxymethylacrylamide, N-methoxymethylmethacrylamide and N-phenylacrylamide; amino group-containing (meth)acrylic monomers such as N,N-diethylaminoethyl acrylate and N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate; epoxy group-containing (meth)acrylic monomers such as glycidyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate; (meth)acrylic monomers having carboxyl group or a salt thereof, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and salts thereof (e.g., sodium salt, potassium salt and ammonium salt). The above-mentioned polymerizable unsaturated monomers can be copolymerized by using one or two kinds thereof. In the present invention, the essential use of an acid anhydride having a double bond as a polymerizable unsaturated monomer leads to superior adhesive property of the adhesion improving layer. The acid anhydride having a double bond is preferably added in a proportion of not less than 0.1 mol%, more preferably not less than 0.5 mol% in the polymerizable unsaturated monomer. As the acid anhydride having a double bond, maleic anhydride is preferably used from among the above examples. In addition, the concurrent use of styrene and maleic anhydride is particularly preferable to prevent gelation during polymerization. Graft polymerization The weight ratio of hydrophobic polyester resin to polymerizable unsaturated monomer, which affords a desirable polyester graft copolymer (A) suitable for the object of the present invention, is preferably hydrophobic polyester resin/polymerizable unsaturated monomer = 40/60 - 95/5, more preferably 55/45 - 93/7, and most preferably 60/40 - 90/10. When the weight ratio of the hydrophobic polyester resin is less than 40 wt%, the obtained polyester graft copolymer (A) may not exert superior adhesive property that polyesters originally possess. On the other hand, when the weight ratio of the hydrophobic polyester resin is greater than 95 wt%, the obtained polyester graft copolymer (A) tends to be associated with blocking which is a defect of polyesters. The graft polymerization is generally performed by dissolving a hydrophobic polyester resin in an organic solvent, and allowing reaction of at least one kind of polymerizable unsaturated monomer by the use of a polymerization initiator with the polyester resin in the solution. The reaction product after completion of graft polymerization contains the desired polyester graft copolymer of the hydrophobic polyester resin and the polymerizable unsaturated monomer, as well as ungrafted hydrophobic polyester resin and polymer of the above-mentioned unsaturated monomers that did not graft to the hydrophobic polyester resin. The polyester graft copolymer (A) in the present invention means not only the above-mentioned polyester graft copolymer but also reaction mixture containing, in addition to said polyester graft copolymer, the ungrafted hydrophobic polyester resin and the polymer of the above-mentioned unsaturated monomers that did not undergo grafting. As the graft polymerization initiator to be used in the present invention, organic peroxides and organic azo compounds can be used, which are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. As the organic peroxides, usable are benzoylperoxide, and t-butyl peroxypivalate and as the organic azo compound, usable are 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile). The amount of the polymerization initiator for graft polymerization is at least 0.2 wt%, preferably not less than 0.5 wt%, relative to the polymerizable unsaturated monomer. In the present invention, the polyester graft copolymer (A) has an acid value of preferably not less than 600 eq/10 6 g, more preferably not less than 1200 eq/10 6 g. When the polyester graft copolymer (A) has an acid value of less than 600 eq/10 6 g, the adhesion property of the adhesion improving layer tends to become insufficient. Dispersing in water The polyester graft copolymer (A) may be used in the form of a solution or dispersion of an organic solvent, or a solution of or dispersion in an aqueous solvent. In particular, a dispersion in an aqueous solvent, namely, the resin dispersed in water, is preferably used in view of working environment and coatability. Such resin dispersed in water can be generally obtained by graft polymerizing the polymerizable unsaturated monomer comprising a hydrophilic polymerizable unsaturated monomer to the aforementioned hydrophobic polyester resin in an organic solvent and then adding water and evaporating the organic solvent. The hydrophilic polymerizable unsaturated monomer to be grafted to hydrophobic polyester resin has a hydrophilic group or a group capable of converting to a hydrophilic group at a later stage. Examples of the hydrophilic group include carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, phosphoric acid group, phosphorus acid group, sulfo group, amido group, and quaternary ammonium salt group. Examples of the group capable of converting to a hydrophilic group include carboxylic anhydride group, glycidyl group and chlorine. Of these groups, carboxyl group is preferable which increases the acid value of the polyester graft copolymer (A). Thus, a polymerizable unsaturated monomer having a carboxyl group or a group capable of converting to carboxyl group is preferable. Such hydrophilic polymerizable unsaturated monomer is preferably a monomer having a carboxyl, carboxylic anhydride group, hydroxy, amino and the like, from among those exemplified as polymerizable unsaturated monomer in the above, more preferably a monomer having a carboxylic anhydride group, particularly maleic anhydride. In the coating solution, the carboxylic anhydride group of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer converts to a carboxyl group. When the coating solution is applied to a thermoplastic substrate film and dried, it returns to the carboxylic anhydride group due to dehydration. When a polyester graft copolymer (A) is used as the water-dispersible resin, the polymer component of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer which is a branch polymer in the polyester graft copolymer (A) preferably has a weight average molecular weight of 500 - 50,000. Control of the weight average molecular weight of this polymer component to less than 500 is not feasible in general, so that graft efficiency tends to be low and the hydrophilic group may not be sufficiently afforded to the hydrophobic polyester resin. The polymer component of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer forms a hydrate layer of dispersed particles. For a sufficient thickness of the hydrate layer and a stable dispersion to be obtained, this polymer component preferably has a weight average molecular weight of not less than 500. The upper limit of the weight average molecular weight of the polymer component is preferably 50,000 for polymerizability by solution polymerization. The molecular weight can be controlled to fall within this range by adjusting the amount of polymerization initiator, time of dropwise addition of monomer, polymerization time, reaction solvent, monomer composition, and where necessary, combining chain transfer agent, polymerization inhibitor and the like as appropriate. The resin dispersed in water preferably has an average particle size as determined by laser scattering method of not more than 500 nm, particularly 10-500 nm, and appears semi-transparent or milky white. By adjusting polymerization process, the resin dispersed in water having various particle sizes can be obtained. From the aspect of dispersion stability, the resin dispersed in water preferably has an average particle size of not more than 400 nm, more preferably not more than 300 nm. When it exceeds 500 nm, film-forming performance tends to become poor to make the coated layer non-uniform. As a result, the gloss on the surface of the adhesion improving layer tends to decrease, resulting in lowered transparency. On the other hand, when it is less than 10 nm, an improvement in water resistance of the adhesion improving layer, which is one of the objects of the present invention, tends to become undesirably less. For obtaining water-dispersible polyester graft copolymer (A), graft polymerization preferably proceeds in an aqueous organic solvent having a boiling point of 50 - 250°C as a reaction solvent As used herein, by the aqueous organic solvent is meant a solvent having a solubility in water at 20°C of at least 10 g/ L, preferably 20 g/L. A solvent having a boiling point exceeding 250°C is slow at evaporation and cannot be removed to a satisfactory level even by a high temperature heat treatment during film forming. Conversely, graft polymerization using a solvent having a boiling point of less than 50°C is undesirable, because it is associated with the risk in handling due to the inevitable use of an initiator that is decomposed into radicals at a temperature of less than 50°C. Examples of such aqueous organic solvent include the following aqueous organic solvents falling under the first group and the following aqueous organic solvents falling under the second group noted below. Examples of the aqueous organic solvent belonging to group 1, that dissolves the hydrophobic polyester resin well and that dissolves the polymerizable unsaturated monomer, inclusive of the hydrophilic polymerizable unsaturated monomer, and the polyester graft copolymer (A) relatively well, include esters such as ethyl acetate ; ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanon ; cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, 1, 3-dioxorane; glycol ethers such as ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene glycol methylether, propylene glycol propyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol butyl ether ; carbitols such as methylcarbitol, ethylcarbitol, butylcarbitol; glycols or lower esters of glycol ether such as ethylene glycol diacetate, ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate ; ketone alcohols such as diacetone alcohol; N-substituted amides such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, and N-methylpyrrolidone. Examples of the aqueous organic solvent belonging to group 2, that scarcely dissolves the hydrophobic polyester resin but that dissolves the polymerizable unsaturated monomer, inclusive of the hydrophilic polymerizable unsaturated monomer, and the polyester graft copolymer (A) relatively well, include water, lower alcohols, lower carboxylic acids, lower amines and the like, with particular preference given to alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and glycols. When the graft polymerization is carried out using a single solvent, the solvent can be selected from the aqueous organic solvents belonging to group 1. When a mixed solvent is used, all the solvents to be used may be selected from those belonging to group 1, or at least one solvent is selected from those belonging to group 1 and at least one solvent is selected from those belonging to group 2. In light of the progress behavior of graft reaction, the kind of polyester graft copolymer (A) and appearance and property of aqueous dispersion derived therefrom, and the like, the mixed solvent preferably contains one from group 1 and one from group 2. The hydrophobic polyester molecular chain in a solvent from group 1 is extended widely and, in a mixed solvent of first group/second group, it is entangled like a ball of yarn, which was confirmed by measuring the viscosity of the hydrophobic polyester resin in these solvents. It is therefore effective for prevention of gelation to control solution state of the hydrophobic polyester resin, thereby preventing easy occurrence of crosslinking between molecules. Both highly efficient graft polymerization and inhibition of gelation can be simultaneously achieved by the mixed solvent system to be mentioned later. The weight ratio of the group 1/group 2 of the mixed solvent is preferably 95/5 -10/90, more preferably 90/10-20/80, particularly preferably 85/15 - 30/70. The optimal mixing ratio is determined depending on the solubility of the hydrophobic polyester resin to be used and the like. In the present invention, the polyester graft copolymer (A) is preferably neutralized with a basic compound, whereby an aqueous dispersion can be obtained easily. The basic compound preferably evaporates during formation of coating layer or heat curing upon addition of a curing agent, and examples thereof include ammonium, organic amines such as triethylamine, N,N-diethylethanolamine, N,N-dimethylethanolamine, aminoethanolamine, N-methyl-N,N-diethanolamine, isopropylamine, iminobispropylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-diethylaminopropylamine, sec-butylamine, propylamine, methylaminopropylamine, dimethylaminopropylamine, methyliminobispropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine. The basic compound is used in such a manner that the pH of the aqueous dispersion falls between 5.0 and 9.0 by partial or complete neutralization according to the carboxyl group content of the polyester graft copolymer (A). The use of a basic compound having a boiling point of not more than 100°C is associated with less residual basic compound in the coating layer after drying, and superior adhesion between the substrate film and the adhesion improving layer and between the adhesion improving layer and a layer formed thereon such as metal layer and inorganic vapor deposition layer, water resistance and resistance to hot water. The use of a basic compound having a boiling point of not less than 100°C and residual basic compound at a level of not less than 500 ppm in the coating layer after drying can also improve transferability of a printed ink. In the present invention, the polyester graft copolymer (A) shows self-crosslinking property. Although it is not crosslinked at a normal temperature, intramolecular reaction such as hydrogen-extracting reaction due to the action of the radical generated by heating and the like proceeds because of the heat used for drying following coating, and is crosslinked without a crosslinking agent. As a result, the adhesive property and water resistance of the inventive adhesion improving layer can be manifested. The crosslinking property of the coated layer can be evaluated by various methods. For example, it can be confirmed based on the proportion of insoluble matter in chloroform that dissolves polyester graft copolymer (A). The proportion of insoluble matter in the coating layer obtained by drying at a temperature not more than 80°C and heat treatment at 120°C for 5 minutes is preferably not less than 50%, more preferably not less than 70%. When it is less than 50%, adhesive property and water resistance tend to become insufficient and blocking occurs. <resin (B)> In the present invention, the resin composition for the adhesion improving layer comprises, besides the above-mentioned polyester graft copolymer (A), at least one resin (B) comprising at least one member selected from polyurethane resin, acrylic resin and vinyl resin. By containing resin (B), the adhesion improving layer is afforded highly refined adhesive property, water resistance and resistance to solvent. The resin (B) to be used in the present invention may be a resin capable of dissolving or dispersing in an organic solvent or water, which is determined depending on use and production method. For application and drawing in the film forming procedure, the use of an aqueous resin (i.e., capable of dissolving or being dispersed in water) is preferable. In the present invention, resin (B) may be a polyurethane resin, acrylic resin or vinyl resin, particularly a polyurethane resin or acrylic resin, or a copolymer made from two members selected from the group consisting of polyurethane resin, acrylic resin and vinyl resin, particularly a copolymer made from a polyurethane resin and an acrylic resin. Polyurethane resin Introduction of carboxyl group or a salt thereof, sulfonic acid group of a salt thereof, or sulfuric semiester group or a salt thereof into the polyurethane resin results in the polyurethane resin having a higher affinity for water. The polyhydroxy compound to be used for the synthesis of the polyurethane resin is exemplified by polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene-polypropylene glycol, polytetrapropylene glycol, hexamethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polycaprolactone, polyhexamethylene adipate, polyhexamethylene sebacate, polytetramethylene adipate, polytetramethylene sebacate, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, pentaerythritol, and glycerine.

However, due to the difference in the affinity between other additives and inorganic particle and/or organic particle, the range where the effect indigenous to inorganic particle and/or organic particle is expressed may not be limited to the range mentioned above. The above-mentioned inorganic particle and organic particle may be used in combination of several kinds from each or the inorganic particle and organic particle may be used concurrently or in combination with a wax.

The antistatic agent content is preferably antistatic agent/resin = 0.1/0.9 - 0.9/0.1, particularly 0.2/0.8 - 0.8/0.2, in weight ratio relative to the resin in the adhesion improving layer. When the content is less than the range mentioned above, antistatic effect does not appear. Conversely, when it exceeds the above-mentioned range, the antistatic effect become saturated and when the film of the present invention is layered, the antistatic agent is transferred to the side of the substrate film where the adhesion improving layer is not formed and adversely affects the printability and property of the laminate. The antistatic agent can be added to the resin composition for the adhesion improving layer by any means.

The crosslinking agent is added by the following methods.

(2) When the crosslinking agent is soluble in oil, it is added to a reaction mixture after graft polymerization of the polyester graft copolymer (A). These methods can be selected as appropriate according to the kind and properties of the crosslinking agent. A curing agent and a promoting agent may be added along with the crosslinking agent. These crosslinking agents may be used alone or in combination. The amount of crosslinking agent is preferably 1-40 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total of polyester graft copolymer (A) and resin (B). To maintain the effect of the present invention and also to impart other functions, the resin composition for the adhesion improving layer can further contain a conductive resin such as polyaniline, and polypyrrole, antibacterial agent, ultraviolet absorber, photooxidation catalyst and a gas barrier resin. The adhesion improving layer can be formed by applying a coating solution containing a resin composition for the adhesion improving layer is applied on a thermoplastic film which is a substrate film, drying the film and heating where necessary. The coating solution may be a solution or dispersion in an organic solvent or an aqueous solvent. For the absence of use of an organic solvent that causes environmental problems, an aqueous solution or dispersion is particularly preferable. The solid content of the resin composition in the coating solution is generally 1 - 50 wt%, preferably 3 - 30 wt%. There is no particular limitation on the drying conditions of the aforementioned coating solution, but for self-crosslinking property of the aforementioned polyester graft copolymer (A) to be expressed, the calories are preferably increased as long as the substrate film and the aforementioned polyester graft copolymer (A) are free from thermal degradation. To be specific, the temperature is set to 80°C - 250°C, more preferably 150°C - 220°C, which range is not limitative, since longer drying hours can bring about sufficient self-crosslinking property even at a relatively lower temperature. The adhesion improving layer is formed by applying the aforementioned coating solution to a thermoplastic film substrate according to a known coating method such as gravure method, reverse method, die method, bar method, dip method. The coating solution is applied in an amount in a solid content of 0.005-5 g/m 2 , preferably 0.02-0.5 g/m 2 . When the amount is less than 0.005 g/m 2 , sufficient adhesion strength between the substrate film and the adhesion improving layer and between the adhesion improving layer and a layer formed thereon may not be achieved. When it is more than 5 g/m 2 , blocking may occur, causing a practical problem. The adhesion improving layer is formed by applying the above-mentioned coating solution to a biaxially oriented thermoplastic base film, or by applying the above-mentioned coating solution to an unoriented or monoaxially oriented thermoplastic base film, drying the film and, where necessary, subjecting monoaxial or biaxial orientation and thermosetting. When the process involves applying the above-mentioned coating solution to an unoriented or monoaxially oriented thermoplastic film substrate, drying the film and drawing, the temperature for drying needs to be within the range that does not affect the subsequent drawing. In the case of a polyamide film substrate, the water content is set to not more than 2% and thermosetting is applied at 200°C or above, whereby the coating layer becomes stiff, which contributes to dramatic improvement in adhesion between the adhesion improving layer and the polyamide film substrate. When the water content is more than 2%, crystallization easily occurs, though subject to variation depending on the temperature for drying, and planarity and drawability may be impaired. The adhesion improving layer of the inventive thermoplastic laminate film shows superior adhesive property with various materials. For enhanced adhesive property and superior printability, the adhesion improving layer may undergoes surface treatment by corona treatment, flame treatment, and electron beam treatment. The adhesion improving layer of the inventive thermoplastic laminate film shows superior adhesion strength in a broad range of applications.

Peeling strength was measured after normal preservation (dry state and wet state) and in hot water at 90°C at a tensile rate of 100 mm/min by 90° peeling. When the adhesion strength was 1,000 g/ 15 mm or above, the adhesive property was evaluated as fine. 2) Appearance of vapor deposition layer A gas barrier layer was formed on the adhesion improving layer of the thermoplastic laminate films obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples (on the polyester film in Comparative Example 5 and on the corona-treated surface in Comparative Example 8) in the following manner. Using, as a vapor deposition source, about 3-5 mm size particles of Al 2 O 3 (purity 99.5%) and SiO 2 (purity 99.9%), a thin film layer of aluminum oxide/silicon oxide was formed by electron beam vapor deposition method on the adhesion improving layer of the above-mentioned thermoplastic laminate films (on the polyester film in Comparative Example 5 and on the corona-treated surface in Comparative Example 8). The vapor deposition materials were not mixed but the inside of the hearth was divided into two with a carbon board and Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 were respectively heated separately with an electron beam gun (hereinafter EB gun) as the heating source. The emission current to the EB gun was set to 2A and the heating ratio of Al 2 O 3 : SiO 2 was adjusted to 35:10.

The appearance of the vapor deposition surface was macroscopically observed. The evaluation is directed to the wettability of the adhesion improving layer. In Table 1, "wavy pattern" does not mean difficulty in practice with regard to the wettability of the adhesion improving layer. 3) Measurement of static friction coefficient of the film The thermoplastic laminate films obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples were determined for the static friction coefficient (between the polyester films in Comparative Example 5, between the corona-treated surfaces in Comparative Example 8 and between the adhesion improving layers in other Examples) under RH 65% according to ASTM-D-1894. When the static friction coefficient was 0.5 or below, the slidability was evaluated as fine. 4) Evaluation of antistatic property (Measurement of surface resistance value) According to JIS K-6911 and using R8340 type surface resistance tester (manufactured by ADVANTEST CORPORATION), the surface resistance value of the adhesion improving layer surface of the thermoplastic laminate films obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples (of the polyester film surface in Comparative Example 5 and of the corona-treated surface in Comparative Example 8) was measured at 23°C, humidity of 50%.

Then, these films were peeled off and the remaining state was observed. 7) Post-processing durability test Using a wire bar (wire diameter 254 µm (10 mil), a solvent of methyl ethylketone/toluene (=1/1; weight ratio) was applied on the adhesion improving layer of the thermoplastic laminate films obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples (on the polyester film in Comparative Example 5 and on the corona-treated surface in Comparative Example 8) and, after drying, flaws on the adhesion improving layer was macroscopically observed. 8) Haze The thermoplastic laminate films obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples were tested according to JIS K-6714 using a haze tester manufactured by Toyo-Seiki Co., Ltd. When the value was 5% or below with the substrate film containing particles and 0.5% or below with the substrate film not containing particles, the haze was evaluated as fine. <Preparation of hydrophobic polyester resin> hydrophobic polyester resin (resin a) In a stainless steel autoclave equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer and a partial refluxing condenser were charged dimethyl terephthalate (345 parts), 1,4-butanediol (211 parts), ethylene glycol (270 parts) and tetra-n-butyl titanate (0.5 part), and ester exchange reaction was conducted from 160°C to 220°C over 4 hr.

Then, styrene (10 parts) and azobisdimethylvaleronitrile (1.5 parts) were dissolved in 12 parts of methyl ethyl ketone, which solution was added dropwise at 0.1 ml/min to the polyester solution, followed by stirring for 2 hr. A sample for analysis was taken from the reaction mixture, and methanol (5 parts) was added. Water (300 parts) and triethylamine (15 parts) were added to the reaction mixture, which was followed by stirring for 1 hr. The inner temperature of the reactor was raised to 100°C and methyl ethyl ketone, isopropyl alcohol and excess triethylamine were removed by distillation to give polyester graft copolymer (resin c ) dispersed in water. The aqueous graft copolymer (resin c ) dispersion was pale-yellow and transparent, and the copolymer therein had a glass transition temperature of-10°C.

Acrylic acid and ethyl acrylate were grafted to this polyurethane resin as a main chain at 10 parts by weight each relative to 100 parts by weight of the aqueous polyester resin to give an acrylic graft polyurethane resin. The water dispersible graft resin (resin c ) and the acrylic graft polyurethane resin were mixed at a weight ratio of resin c : acrylic graft polyurethane resin = 90:10 to give a water dispersible resin complex (resin d ).
