Title: Polycarbonate resin composition for 3d printing and 3d printing filament comprising same

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printing and a filament for 3D printing comprising the same, and more specifically, a polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printing, which comprises specific combination of polycarbonate (PC) resin, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin, plasticizer and impact modifier, and has good balance of specific properties required for filaments for 3D printing such as printability, winding property and anti-warpage, etc. while maintaining good mechanical properties of polycarbonate resin at the same time, and a filament for 3D printing comprising the same. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Although 3D printing can be performed in various printing manners according to applications, in consideration of the apparatus cost, material supply and printing difficulty, etc., the most common printing manner for industry and home use is material extrusion. Material extrusion is a printing method wherein the material provided in a filament form is melted in nozzle and laminated layer-by-layer, and resins for 3D printing filament used in such a manner include polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC) and polyimide (PI), etc. 
     Among the above, polylactic acid resin is the most widely used resin for 3D printing filament for general use. Polylactic acid resin does not smell during extrusion, and since it can be extruded even at a relatively low temperature, expensive printing apparatus is not required. However, since polylactic acid resin has poor mechanical properties, a resin for 3D printing filament which can be extruded at a relatively low temperature like polylactic acid and can also exhibit good mechanical properties such as high strength, etc. is needed. 
     Polycarbonate resin is an engineering plastic having good mechanical properties, thermal properties and dimensional stability, and has been used in various industries. However, in case of using polycarbonate as a resin for 3D printing filament for material extrusion, it shows poor printability causing high viscosity during 3D printing or the like, and since it has low flexibility, the filament may be broken if wound on a bobbin and stored. 
     Therefore, it is required to develop a polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printing filament which well satisfies all specific properties required for filaments for 3D printing such as printability, winding property and anti-warpage, etc. 
     CONTENTS OF THE INVENTION 
     Problems to be Solved 
     The purpose of the present invention is to provide a polycarbonate resin composition for 3D printing, which has good balance of specific properties required for filaments for 3D printer such as printability, winding property and anti-warpage, etc. while maintaining good mechanical properties of polycarbonate resin at the same time, and a filament for 3D printing comprising the same. 
     Technical Means

     In another aspect, the present invention provides a filament for 3D printing comprising the polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention. 
     Effect of the Invention 
     The filament composition for 3D printing according to the present invention maintains good mechanical properties of polycarbonate resin, and at the same time, it has good printability so as not to cause web generation during 3D printing, good winding property on a bobbin so as to be stored easily for a long time, and good anti-warpage so that stable printing is possible, and thus it can be used suitably as a filament for 3D printer, and thereby the economy of 3D printing can be improved and its application range can be broadened.

Nos. 2,999,835, 3,028,365, 3,153,008 and 3,334,154, etc. may be referred to. The above dihydric phenol may be used alone or in combination of two or more of them. 
     The carbonate precursor is another monomer constituting the aromatic polycarbonate resin, and its non-limited example may be carbonyl chloride (phosgene), carbonyl bromide, bis halo formate, diphenyl carbonate or dimethyl carbonate, etc. Preferably, carbonyl chloride (phosgene) may be used. 
     As the molecular weight-controlling agent, the conventionally known compound, i.e., a monofunctional compound similar to a monomer used in preparation of thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonate resin may be used. The non-limiting examples of the molecular weight-controlling agent may be derivatives based on phenol (for example, para-isopropylphenol, para-tert-butylphenol (PTBP), para-cumylphenol, para-isooctylphenol, para-isononylphenol, etc.) aliphatic alcohols, etc. Preferably, para-tert-butylphenol (PTBP) may be used. 
     The polycarbonate resin comprised in the resin composition of the present invention may have a viscosity average molecular weight of preferably 15,000 to 50,000, and more preferably 16,000 to 30,000. 
     The filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention comprises, based on total 100 parts by weight of the composition, 45 to 95 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin. If the amount of the polycarbonate resin in 100 parts by weight of the composition is less than 45 parts by weight, mechanical strength of the 3D printing product may be lowered, and if it is greater than 95 parts by weight, there may be a problem in winding property of the filament. 
     More concretely, based on total 100 parts by weight of the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention, the amount of the polycarbonate resin in the resin composition may be 45 parts by weight or more, 50 parts by weight or more, 55 parts by weight or more, or 60 parts by weight or more, and 95 parts by weight or less, 90 parts by weight or less, 85 parts by weight or less, or 80 parts by weight or less. Preferably, the amount of the polycarbonate resin in 100 parts by weight of the composition may be, for example, 50 to 95 parts by weight, more preferably 55 to 90 parts by weight, and still more preferably 55 to 85 parts by weight. 
     (2) Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Resin 
     The polybutylene terephthalate resin comprised in the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention is a polymer obtained by condensation-polymerization through direct esterification reaction or transesterification reaction using butane-1,4-diol, and terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate, as monomers. 
     In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polybutylene terephthalate resin may have a melting temperature of 215 to 235° C., and more preferably 220 to 230° C. In addition, its intrinsic viscosity (IV) is preferably 0.45 to 1.6 dl/g, and more preferably 0.80 to 1.3 dl/g. 
     The filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention comprises, based on total 100 parts by weight of the composition, 1 to 24 parts by weight of the polybutylene terephthalate resin. If the amount of the polybutylene terephthalate resin in 100 parts by weight of the composition is less than 1 part by weight, it is hard to expect improvement in chemical resistance of the 3D printing product, and if it is greater than 24 parts by weight, mechanical properties of the 3D printing product may be lowered. 
     More concretely, based on total 100 parts by weight of the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention, the amount of the polybutylene terephthalate resin in the resin composition may be 1 part by weight or more, 2 parts by weight or more, 3 parts by weight or more, 4 parts by weight or more, or 5 parts by weight or more, and 24 parts by weight or less, 22 parts by weight or less, 20 parts by weight or less, 18 parts by weight or less, 16 parts by weight or less, 14 parts by weight or less, 12 parts by weight or less, or 10 parts by weight or less. Preferably, the amount of the polybutylene terephthalate resin in 100 parts by weight of the composition may be, for example, 1 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably 1 to 15 parts by weight, and still more preferably 1 to 10 parts by weight. 
     (3) Plasticizer 
     As the plasticizer comprised in the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention, any material which can improve flowability of polycarbonate resin composition can be used without special limitation, and preferably, aromatic phosphate, aliphatic phosphate, or a mixture thereof may be used as the plasticizer. 
     There is no special limitation to the kind that can be used, and any monophosphate compound or phosphate oligomer compound conventionally known in this field can be used. For example, commercially available PX-200, PX-201, PX-202, CR-733S, CR-741, CR747 (DAIHACHICHEMICAL INDUSTRY Co., Ltd.), FP-600, FP-700, FP-800 (ADEKA Co.), etc. can be used. 
     The filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention comprises, based on total 100 parts by weight of the composition, 1 to 19 parts by weight of the plasticizer. If the amount of the plasticizer in 100 parts by weight of the composition is less than 1 part by weight, the effect of improving flowability of the resin composition is little and so high printing temperature is required for 3D printing, and thus expensive printing apparatus for high temperature printing is needed, and if it is greater than 19 parts by weight, it is impossible to extrude the resin composition itself and thus it cannot be obtained in pellet form. 
     More concretely, based on total 100 parts by weight of the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention, the amount of the plasticizer in the resin composition may be 1 part by weight or more, 2 parts by weight or more, 3 parts by weight or more, 4 parts by weight or more, or 5 parts by weight or more, and 19 parts by weight or less, 18 parts by weight or less, 17 parts by weight or less, 16 parts by weight or less, 15 parts by weight or less, 14 parts by weight or less, 13 parts by weight or less, 12 parts by weight or less, 11 parts by weight or less, or 10 parts by weight or less. Preferably, the amount of the plasticizer in 100 parts by weight of the composition may be, for example, 2 to 18 parts by weight, more preferably 2 to 15 parts by weight, and still more preferably 5 to 15 parts by weight. 
     (4) Impact Modifier 
     As the impact modifier comprised in the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention, any material which can increase flexibility of polycarbonate resin composition and thus improve winding property of the filament on a bobbin can be used without special limitation, and preferably, it may be a copolymer of core-shell structure. 
     The copolymer of core-shell structure may be prepared by polymerizing one or more selected from monomers of C4-C6 diene-based rubber, acrylate-based rubber, or silicone-based rubber, and then grafting the rubber with one or more selected from graftable unsaturated compounds such as C1-C8 methacrylic acid alkyl esters, C1-C8 acrylic acid alkyl esters, C1-C8 methacrylic acid esters, maleic anhydride, maleimide nucleus-substituted with C1-C4 alkyl or phenyl, to form a core-shell structure, wherein the rubber amount is preferably 5 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer of core-shell structure. 
     The C1-C8 methacrylic acid alkyl ester or C1-C8 acrylic acid alkyl ester is an ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, respectively, with a monohydric alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Concrete examples thereof may be methacrylic acid methyl ester, methacrylic acid ethyl ester, methacrylic acid propyl ester, acrylic acid methyl ester, acrylic acid ethyl ester or acrylic acid propyl ester, and among them, methacrylic acid methyl ester is most preferable. 
     The acrylate-based rubber is prepared by using acrylate monomer such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, hexyl methacrylate, or 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, etc., and at this time, a curing agent such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, propylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,3-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,4-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, allyl methacrylate, or triallyl cyanurate, etc. is used. 
     The silicone-based rubber may be prepared from cyclosiloxane, and example thereof may be hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, trimethyltriphenylcyclotrisiloxane, tetramethyltetraphenylcyclotetrasiloxane, or octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane, etc. At this time, a curing agent such as trimethoxymethylsilane, triethoxyphenylsilane, tetramethoxysilane, or tetraethoxysilane, etc. is used. 
     Among the above rubbers, sole use of silicone-based rubber or mixed use of silicone-based rubber and acrylate-based rubber exhibits more advantageous effects in terms of chemical resistance and thermal stability, due to the structural stability. 
     The filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention comprises, based on total 100 parts by weight of the composition, 1 to 19 parts by weight of the impact modifier. If the amount of the impact modifier in 100 parts by weight of the composition is less than 1 part by weight, the effect of improving impact strength is little and so it is hard to achieve good winding property, and if it is greater than 19 parts by weight, the thermal stability may be lowered and the mechanical properties, etc. may be lowered due to gas. 
     More concretely, based on total 100 parts by weight of the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention, the amount of the impact modifier in the resin composition may be 1 part by weight or more, 2 parts by weight or more, 3 parts by weight or more, 4 parts by weight or more, or 5 parts by weight or more, and 19 parts by weight or less, 18 parts by weight or less, 17 parts by weight or less, 16 parts by weight or less, 15 parts by weight or less, 14 parts by weight or less, 13 parts by weight or less, 12 parts by weight or less, 11 parts by weight or less, or 10 parts by weight or less. Preferably, the amount of the impact modifier in 100 parts by weight of the composition may be, for example, 2 to 18 parts by weight, more preferably 2 to 15 parts by weight, and still more preferably 5 to 15 parts by weight. 
     (5) Other Additive 
     In addition, to the above-explained components (1) to (4), the filament composition for 3D printing of the present invention can further comprise one or more other additives conventionally added in thermoplastic resin compositions for injection molding or extrusion molding. For example, it can further comprise one or more additives selected from the group consisting of antioxidant, lubricant, UV absorber, or mixtures thereof. 
     Concretely, as the antioxidant, organic phosphorus-based antioxidant such as tris(nonylphenyl)phosphite, (2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)(2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol)phosphite, tris(2,4-dibutylphenyl)phosphite, bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphite, bis(2,4-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphite or distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphate, etc.; phenol-based antioxidant such as pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate or octadecyl-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, etc.; thioester-based antioxidant such as pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-dodecylthiopropionate), etc.; or a mixture of two or more of the above may be used, but it is not limited thereto. 
     As the lubricant, polyethylene-based compound, ethylene-ester-based compound, ethylene glycol-glycerine ester-based compound, montan-based compound, ethylene glycol-glycerine montanic acid-based compound, ester-based compound, or a mixture of two or more of the above may be used, but it is not limited thereto. 
     As the UV absorber, benzotriazole-based compound, hydroxyphenyltriazine-based compound, pyrimidine-based compound, cyanoacrylate-based compound, or a mixture of two or more of the above may be used, but it is not limited thereto. 
     The amount of the other additive is not especially limited, and it can be used in an amount for providing additional function within a scope that does not harm the desired properties of the polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention. 
     According to an embodiment of the present invention, the amounts of the other additive may be, based on total 100 parts by weight of the composition of the present invention, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by weight, and more preferably 1 to 8 parts by weight. If the amount of the other additive in 100 parts by weight of the composition is less than 0.1 part by weight, the effect of improving the function according to the use of the other additive is little, and if it is greater than 10 parts by weight, the mechanical properties of the resin composition may be lowered. 
     According to another aspect of the present invention, a filament for 3D printing comprising the polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention is provided. 
     The filament for 3D printing can be prepared by extrusion molding of the resin composition of the present invention.

     For each of the filament samples prepared as above, the following properties were measured or evaluated, and the results are shown in the following Table 2. 
     &lt;Methods for Measuring Properties&gt; 
     (1) Printing Temperature 
     When the filament sample was printed out through a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm in a 3D printer for general material extrusion, the nozzle temperature at which the filament was laminated stably to form a product was measured as the printing temperature. 
     (2) Web Generation 
     A square sample of 50 mm×50 mm was printed out at the corresponding temperature. The phenomenon of generating thread-like thin material other than the printed product was expressed as web generation. Such web generation deteriorates the appearance of the printed product. Thus, web generation was scored according to the degree of generation. That is, according to the degree of web generation, the scores ranged from 5 to 0 under the following standards (Score 5 and 4 are regarded as no problem and marked with X, and Score 3 to 0 are regarded as problematic and marked with O) (cf.  FIG. 1 ): 
     Score 5: Less than two webs generated 
     Score 4: Two or more webs generated 
     Score 3: Four or more webs generated 
     Score 2: Six or more webs generated 
     Score 1: Eight or more webs generated 
     Score 0: Ten or more webs generated 
     (3) Winding Property 
     The polycarbonate resin composition was prepared as a filament sample for 3D printer with a diameter of 1.75 mm. Then, in each of the cases of winding it on a bobbin with a diameter of 8 cm, storing it after the winding, and using it after the winding, whether or not the sample was broken was observed with naked eye. 5 specimens for tensile strength according to ASTM D638 were mounted on Strain 2% Bending tester. After one-week observation, Score 5 was given to breakage of no specimen whereas Score 0 was given to breakage of all 5 specimens. The standards are as follows: 
     Score 5: No specimen broken 
     Score 4: One specimen broken among five 
     Score 3: Two specimens broken among five 
     Score 2: Three specimens broken among five 
     Score 1: Four specimens broken among five 
     Score 0: All five specimens broken 
     (4) Anti-Warpage 
     A square sample of 50 mm×50 mm was printed out at the corresponding temperature. The phenomenon of the product twisted after 1 hour from the printing out was observed with naked eye, and scored from 0 to 5 according to the degree of twist (cf.  FIG. 2 ). The standards are as follows: 
     Score 5: Less than 2% of the total area shrunken 
     Score 4: 2% or more of the total area shrunken 
     Score 3: 4% or more of the total area shrunken 
     Score 2: 6% or more of the total area shrunken 
     Score 1: 8% or more of the total area shrunken 
     Score 0: 10% or more of the total area shrunken 
     (5) Mechanical Strength 
     For the samples prepared in Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7, the tensile strength was measured according to ASTM D638, and the flexural strength was measured according to ASTM D790. The measured tensile strength and flexural strength were compared with those of the sample of the following general reference example to confirm whether the test sample achieved 80% or more of the tensile strength and flexural strength of the sample of the reference example. 
     [Preparation of Filament of Reference Example] 
     In order to prepare a general polycarbonate sample, a polycarbonate (TRIREX 3022, Samyang Corporation) was dried with hot air at 100° C. for 4 hours, and molded by injection at 290° C. to prepare the sample. For the prepared sample, tensile strength and flexural strength were measured according to ASTM D638 and ASTM D790, respectively. The results are as follows: 
     Tensile strength: 680 kgf/cm 2    
     Flexural strength: 900 kgf/cm 2
