The present invention relates to an acrylic graft copolymer, a method for preparing the same, and a thermoplastic resin composition comprising the same, and more particularly, UV reactive ultraviolet rays to the graft shell of the acrylic graft copolymer including a seed, a core and a graft shell. The present invention relates to an acrylic graft copolymer having excellent mechanical properties by introducing a stabilizer, excellent weather resistance and surface glossiness, and reduced mold deposit, a method for preparing the same, and a thermoplastic resin composition comprising the same.
background
[4]
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin (hereinafter referred to as 'ABS resin') based on conjugated diene rubber has excellent processability, mechanical properties and appearance characteristics, so parts of electrical and electronic products, automobiles, small toys, and furniture , and is widely used as a building material. However, since the ABS resin is based on butadiene rubber containing chemically unstable unsaturated bonds, the rubber polymer is easily aged by ultraviolet rays, and the weather resistance is very weak, so it is not suitable as an outdoor material.
[5]
In order to overcome the problems of the ABS resin as described above, an acrylic copolymer represented by an acrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile graft copolymer (hereinafter referred to as 'ASA resin') without an ethylenically unsaturated bond is used. , This ASA resin has excellent weather resistance and aging resistance, and is used in various fields such as automobiles, ships, leisure products, construction materials, and horticulture.
[6]
Recently, the level of weather resistance for ASA resins required in the market is increasing. To meet this, rubber with a small particle size is used, or an acrylate monomer containing methyl methacrylate (hereinafter referred to as 'MMA') is shell polymerized. A method of copolymerizing with styrene and acrylonitrile, or adding a matrix resin containing MMA during compounding is used.
[7]
However, when a rubber with a small particle diameter is used for the ASA resin, mechanical properties such as impact resistance are deteriorated. There is a problem of lowering
[8]
In addition, when a UV stabilizer is added when compounding a thermoplastic resin composition containing an ASA resin to improve weather resistance, decomposition products due to volatilization of the UV stabilizer during long-term injection molding are attached to the mold due to the mold deposit. It not only causes problems such as poor molding and poor gloss, but is often not easily removed. In order to solve this problem, a UV stabilizer with a large molecular weight can be introduced to suppress volatilization of the UV stabilizer during injection processing, but as the molecular weight increases, the input amount must be increased to maintain the weather resistance, which leads to a decrease in physical properties and an increase in production cost. there is a problem.
[9]
Therefore, there is a need for the development of a resin capable of reducing the mold deposit by suppressing volatilization of the UV stabilizer while improving the weather resistance of the ASA resin.

[218]
How to measure
[219]
* Graft rate (%): The graft polymer latex is coagulated, washed and dried to obtain a powder form, and 30 ml of acetone is added to 1 g of the graft polymer dry powder, stirred for 24 hours, and then centrifuged to dissolve in acetone. After the insoluble fraction was collected and dried, the weight was measured and calculated according to Equation 1 below.
[220]
[Equation 1]
[221]
Graft rate (%) = (weight of grafted monomer (g) / rubber weight (g)) *100
[222]
* Izod impact strength (kgf·cm/cm): It was measured in accordance with ASTM D256 using a specimen thickness of 1/4”.
[223]
* Polymerization conversion: After drying 1.5 g of the prepared latex in a hot air dryer at 150 ° C. for 15 minutes, the weight is measured to obtain the total solid content (TSC) by the following Equation 4, and with this, the following Equation 5 was calculated using
[224]
Equation 4 was based on the total weight of the added monomer being 100 parts by weight.
[225]
[Equation 4]
[226]

[227]
[Equation 5]
[228]
Polymerization conversion (%) = [total solid content (TSC) X (total weight of the added monomer, ion-exchanged water, and auxiliary materials) / 100] - (weight of added additives other than monomer and ion-exchanged water)
[229]
In Equation 4, the auxiliary material refers to an initiator, an emulsifier, an electrolyte, and a molecular weight regulator.
[230]
The input monomer refers to an acrylate, an aromatic vinyl compound, and a vinyl cyan compound.
[231]
* Average particle diameter (nm): measured using Nicomp 380 equipment (product name, manufacturer: PSS).
[232]
* Weight average molecular weight (g/mol): Standard PS (Standard polystyrene) sample using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent at a temperature of 40 ° C through gel chromatography (GPC) filled with porous silica as a column packing material. Relative values ​​were measured.
[233]
* Melt flow index (MI): The prepared pellets were measured according to ASTM D1238 under conditions of 220° C. and 10 kg. Here, the unit of the flow index is g/10min.
[234]
* Tensile strength (kg/cm 2 ): Measured according to ASTM D638.
[235]
* Thermal deformation temperature (℃, measured according to ASTM D648.
[236]
* Weather resistance (ΔE): using accelerated weather resistance test device (weather-o-meter, ATLAS Ci4000, xenon arc lamp, Quartz(inner)/S.Boro(outer) filter, irradiance 0.55W/m 2 at 340nm) After 6000 hours of measurement by the SAE J1960 method, it was evaluated as ΔE calculated by Equation 2 below. The closer the ΔE value is to 0, the better the weather resistance is.
[237]
[Equation 2]
[238]

[239]
* TVOC analysis (JTD-GC/MS-02): Purge & Trap-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to perform purge and trap at 230°C for 10 minutes, followed by GC-MS was used to measure the total volatilization amount. The measured volatilization amount was quantified using toluene as a standard reagent.
[240]
* Mold deposit (mg): A removable mold core is applied to the injection machine (LS company, clamping force: 220 tons), the injection machine temperature is 260℃-260℃-255℃-245℃, and the injection pressure is 70 bar/ After continuous injection of 100 shots under the same injection condition of 100 bar of injection back pressure, the weight of the mold core on which the volatilized material was deposited was measured to calculate the mold deposit by Equation 3 below.
[241]
[Equation 3]
[242]
Mold Deposit (after 100 shots, mg) = mold core weight after 100 shots - initial mold core weight
