In the process of the present invention for producing an aliphatic poly(ester carbonate), maleic anhydride, a C glycol and hydrogen are reacted in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst. By this process, an aliphatic poly(ester carbonate) having practically satisfactory moldability and physical properties is produced in a short period of time by a simplified method as compared to conventional production processes.

Process for producing aliphatic polyester carbonate

An aromatic-aliphatic copolycarbonate and a process for producing the same which comprises polycondensation of an aromatic dihydroxy compound, such as 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane, tricyclo(5.2.1.0 )decanedimethanol, and a carbonic acid diester in a molten state under heating, wherein the carbonic acid diester has a chlorine content of 20 ppm or lower. The copolycarbonate has improved refractive index, balance of dispersion, and photoelastic constant while retaining high impact resistance, high heat resistance, and excellent hue.

The present invention provides a resin composition comprising polylactic acid and aliphatic polyester carbonate, which has practically adequate heat-resistance temperature, moldability, thermostability, solvent resistance and high mechanical strength, as well as a molded article thereof. In the resin composition, the Vicat softening point is 60&deg; C. or more, the tensile modulus of elasticity is 0.9 GPa or more, the modulus in flexure is 0.6 GPa or more, and the mixing ratio of polylactic acid (A) and aliphatic polyester carbonate (B), in terms of the ratio of (A)/(B) by weight, is 95/5 to 5/95. Further, the present invention provides a biodegradable injection-molded article having improvements in mechanical characteristics and impact resistance and superior disposal properties, particularly having strength enough to make it usable as a headgear material for use in helmets. The biodegradable injection-molded article is excellent in impact resistance, comprising mainly polylactic acid (A) and aliphatic polyester (E) and/or aliphatic polyester carbonate (B). This injection-molded article has a flexural strength of 30 MPa or more and an Izod impact strength of 3 kJ/m,or more, and it is used as helmet headgear.

Resin composition and molded article

A process for producing an aliphatic polyester carbonate which comprises reacting (1) an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid compound containing succinic acid as a main component, (2) an aliphatic dihydroxy compound containing 1,4-butanediol as a main component, and (3) (a) a polyhydric alcohol having 3 or more hydroxyl groups in a molecule, (b) a polybasic carboxylic acid compound having 3 or more carboxyl groups in a molecule, or (c) a polybasic carboxylic acid having one or more hydroxyl groups in a molecule to obtain an aliphatic polyester oligomer and reacting the obtained aliphatic polyester oligomer and a carbonate compound, wherein the aliphatic polyester carbonate has a melt tension of 1.5 g or more at 190.degree. C. and at an extrusion rate of 10 mm/minute; a process for producing an aliphatic polyester carbonate which comprises reacting above components (1) and (2) to obtain an aliphatic polyester oligomer and reacting the obtained aliphatic polyester oligomer, above component (3) (a), and a carbonate compound, wherein the aliphatic polyester carbonate has the same properties; and aliphatic polyester carbonates produced by these processes. The aliphatic polyester carbonate is branched and biodegradable, has a high molecular weight, and shows higher melt tension and more excellent molding property in comparison with conventional linear aliphatic polyester carbonates in molding of the polyester carbonate to prepare films, sheets, fibers, and other molded products.

Aliphatic polyester carbonate and process for producing the aliphatic

Provided are an aliphatic polyester carbonate having biodegradability and having a content of carbonate unit of at least 5 mol %, a weight-average molecular weight of at least 100,000, a melt viscosity of 2,000-50,000 poises at 190.degree. C. and under a load of 60 kg and a melting point of 70.degree.-180.degree. C., and a process for producing said aliphatic polyester carbonate which comprises reacting an aliphatic dihydroxy compound with an aliphatic dibasic acid in the presence of an ester exchange catalyst to obtain an oligomer and then reacting the oligomer with a diaryl carbonate in the presence of the ester exchange catalyst. A phosphorus compound may be added to the aliphatic polyester carbonate for the purpose of stabilization.
