[Evaluation: Radical amount
after 5 days and 1 month after gamma ray irradiation ] The radical amount of the sample after 5 days and 1 month after gamma ray irradiation was measured by an electron spin resonance method (Electron Spin Rssonance (ESR)).
Specifically, about 6 mg of a test piece after 5 days and 1 month after irradiation with gamma rays having doses of 20 kGy and 50 kGy was cut out, put into a test tube (details below), and ESR spectrum was measured under the following conditions. ..
[0174]
-Device: electron spin resonance device JES-TE200 manufactured by JEOL
-Resonance frequency: 9.2 GHz
-Microwave input: 1 mW
-Central magnetic field: 326.5 mT
-Sweep width: ±15 mT
-Modulation frequency: 100 kHz
-Sweep time: 8 min.
・Time constant: 0.1 sec
・Amplification degree: 25
・Sample tube: Sample tube of quartz at the tip corresponding to X band
・External aim: Mn 2+ standard sample supported on magnesium oxide
・External standard memory: 0, 700
・Measurement Temperature: Room temperature
/Measurement atmosphere: Atmosphere
[0175]
The normalized value shown in the following formula was used for the relative comparison of the amount of radicals generated.
[0176]
[Number 1]
[0177]
The baseline of the ESR spectrum was corrected based on Mn 2+ (second signal).
Usually, in the relative comparison of the amount of radicals, Mn 2+ (third signal) is used as the area of the reference Mn 2+ -derived signal . However, since the spectrum of radicals derived from organic radicals and Mn 2+ (third signal) overlap, Mn 2+ (second signal) was used in all measurements this time (external standard memory=700). When the organic radical-derived signal overlapped with Mn 2+ (third signal), it was calculated using the ESR spectrum of external standard memory = 0.

[Production Example 13]
Nitrogen as an inert gas was passed for 30 minutes at a flow rate of 100 Nl/hr in a glass reaction vessel having a volume of 500 ml equipped with a stirrer, and then cyclohexane and tetracyclo were used. [4.4.0.1 2,5 . 1 7,10 ]-3-dodecene (19 mmol, hereinafter also referred to as tetracyclododecene) and indene norbornene (8.0 mmol, hereinafter also referred to as IndNB) were added. Next, the solvent temperature was raised to 50° C. while stirring the polymerization solvent at a rotation speed of 600 rpm. After the solvent temperature reached a predetermined temperature, the flow gas was switched from nitrogen to ethylene, and ethylene was passed through the reaction vessel at a feed rate of 50 Nl/hr and hydrogen at 0.5 Nl/hr, and after 10 minutes, MMAO was passed. (Modified Methylaluminoxane) (0.9 mmol) and the catalyst (0.0030 mmol) prepared by the method described in paragraph 0112 of JP 2010-241932 A were added to a glass reaction vessel to initiate polymerization.
After 10 minutes, 5 ml of isobutyl alcohol was added to terminate the polymerization to obtain a polymerization solution containing a copolymer of ethylene, tetracyclododecene and IndNB. Thereafter, the polymerization solution was transferred to a separately prepared beaker having a volume of 2 L, 5 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and a stirrer were added, and the mixture was contacted for 2 hours under strong stirring for deashing operation. The decalcified polymerization solution was added with stirring to a beaker containing about 3 times the volume of this polymerization solution with acetone to precipitate a copolymer, and the precipitated copolymer was separated from the filtrate by filtration. The polymer containing the obtained solvent was dried under reduced pressure at 130° C. for 10 hours to obtain 0.58 g of a white powdery ethylene/tetracyclododecene/indene norbornene copolymer.
As described above, a cyclic olefin-based copolymer (P-13) was obtained.
[0160]
[Production Examples 14 to 21] The same
operation as in Production Example 13 was carried out except that the content value of each structural unit constituting the cyclic olefin copolymer was adjusted to be the value shown in Table 4. The cyclic olefin copolymers (P-14) to (P-21) shown in Table 4 were obtained.

In
each of the Examples and Comparative Examples, various physical properties were measured or evaluated by the following methods, and the obtained results are shown in Table 4.
[0165]
[Measurement Method of Content of Each Structural Unit Constituting Cyclic Olefin Copolymer]
Ethylene, tetracyclo[4.4.0.1 2,5 . The content of 1 7,10 ]-3-dodecene and the cyclic olefin having an aromatic ring was measured by using an “ECA500 type” nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus manufactured by JEOL Ltd. under the following conditions.
Solvent: heavy tetrachloroethane
Sample concentration: 50 to 100 g/l-solvent
pulse repetition time: 5.5 seconds
Number of integrations: 6000 to 16000 times
Measurement temperature: 120° C. 13 C-NMR spectrum
measured under the above conditions The compositions of ethylene, tetracyclododecene and cyclic olefin having an aromatic ring were quantified respectively.
[0166]
[Glass Transition Temperature Tg (° C.)] The glass transition temperature Tg of the cyclic olefin-based copolymer was measured under
N 2 (nitrogen) atmosphere using DSC-6220 manufactured by Shimadzu Science . The cyclic olefin copolymer was heated from room temperature to 200 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min and then held for 5 minutes, and then cooled to −20 ° C. at a temperature lowering rate of 10 ° C./min and then held for 5 minutes. .. Then, the glass transition point (Tg) of the cyclic olefin copolymer was determined from the endothermic curve when the temperature was raised to 200 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min.
[0167]
[Intrinsic Viscosity [η]] A
moving viscometer (type VNR053U, manufactured by Rikyu Co., Ltd.) was used to dissolve 0.25 to 0.30 g of the cyclic olefin copolymer in 25 ml of decalin as a sample. According to ASTM J1601, the specific viscosity of the cyclic olefin-based copolymer was measured at 135° C., and the ratio of the specific viscosity to the concentration was extrapolated to 0 to determine the intrinsic viscosity [η] of the cyclic olefin-based copolymer.
[0168]
(Evaluation of Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Composition)
[Press Molding]
The powders obtained in the above Production Examples 13 to 21 were press molded at 250° C. using a hand press manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd. A square plate test piece having a thickness of 2 mm was produced.
[0169]
[Gamma Ray Irradiation]
The 2 mm thick square plate test piece obtained above was irradiated with gamma rays of 20 kGy or 50 kGy.
[0170]
[Transparency]
The internal haze of the obtained square plate test piece having a thickness of 2 mm and the test piece immediately after gamma ray irradiation was measured, and the transparency was evaluated according to the following criteria.
The internal haze was measured in benzyl alcohol using a haze meter (NDH-20D manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Kogyo Co., Ltd.).
◯: Internal haze is less than 6.0%
×: The test piece is visually opaque, or the internal haze is 6.0% or more.
[0171]
[Evaluation: Hue immediately after gamma ray irradiation]
Test pieces immediately after gamma ray irradiation were stacked on white paper with a thickness of 20 mm. The hue and lightness at this time were visually evaluated.
The hue was based on the Munsell color system. The evaluation criteria are as follows.
Good (good): The lightness is 7 to 9.5 and the hue is between 5.0 GY and 10 GY.
Δ (normal): The lightness is 5 to 9.5 and the hue is between 5Y and 5GY. However, the case where the above ○ (good) is applicable is excluded.
X (bad): The brightness is 0 or more and less than 5, and / or the hue is between 2.5Y and 5Y. However, the case corresponding to the above △ (normal) is excluded.
[0172]
A supplementary note about the above evaluation criteria.
As for the brightness, the larger the value, the closer to white, and it is clear that discoloration is suppressed.
Regarding the hue, in consideration of use as a medical container in particular, yellow is avoided because it gives a patient an unclean impression, and thus green is preferable to yellow.
[0173]
[Evaluation: Radical amount
after 5 days and 1 month after gamma ray irradiation ] The radical amount of the sample after 5 days and 1 month after gamma ray irradiation was measured by an electron spin resonance method (Electron Spin Rssonance (ESR)).
Specifically, about 6 mg of a test piece after 5 days and 1 month after irradiation with gamma rays having doses of 20 kGy and 50 kGy was cut out, put into a test tube (details below), and ESR spectrum was measured under the following conditions. ..
[0174]
-Device: electron spin resonance device JES-TE200 manufactured by JEOL
-Resonance frequency: 9.2 GHz
-Microwave input: 1 mW
-Central magnetic field: 326.5 mT
-Sweep width: ±15 mT
-Modulation frequency: 100 kHz
-Sweep time: 8 min.
・Time constant: 0.1 sec
・Amplification degree: 25
・Sample tube: Sample tube of quartz at the tip corresponding to X band
・External aim: Mn 2+ standard sample supported on magnesium oxide
・External standard memory: 0, 700
・Measurement Temperature: Room temperature
/Measurement atmosphere: Atmosphere
[0175]
The normalized value shown in the following formula was used for the relative comparison of the amount of radicals generated.
[0176]
[Number 1]
[0177]
The baseline of the ESR spectrum was corrected based on Mn 2+ (second signal).
Usually, in the relative comparison of the amount of radicals, Mn 2+ (third signal) is used as the area of the reference Mn 2+ -derived signal . However, since the spectrum of radicals derived from organic radicals and Mn 2+ (third signal) overlap, Mn 2+ (second signal) was used in all measurements this time (external standard memory=700). When the organic radical-derived signal overlapped with Mn 2+ (third signal), it was calculated using the ESR spectrum of external standard memory = 0.
[0178]
[Table 4]
[0179]
As described above, the molded products (sheets) composed of the cyclic olefin-based copolymer compositions obtained in Examples 21 to 28 were excellent in transparency and gamma ray resistance performance balance. On the other hand, Comparative Example 3 using a cyclic olefin-based copolymer that does not contain a structural unit (C) derived from a cyclic olefin having an aromatic ring was inferior in the performance balance of transparency and gamma ray resistance.
