    Abstract

    The invention relates to a composition obtainable by mixing polycarbonate, unsized talc and a specific anhydride-modified alpha-olefin polymer, wherein the amounts of the talc and the specific anhydride-modified alpha-olefin polymer are matched to one another such that, for every 10 parts by weight of the talc, 0.10 to 1.4 parts by weight of the anhydride-modified alpha-olefin polymer are used. It has been shown that in situ sizing of talc with the wax can minimize the degradation of the polycarbonate only in the course of mixing with the polycarbonate and, at the same time, properties such as multiaxial impact resistance and flowability can be improved.

    [0234] Table 1 shows that, depending on the acid number and the amount of component C used, the relative solution viscosity of component A can be stabilized in spite of the presence of component B: the more component C is added and the higher the acid number of component C, the more the solution viscosity approaches the level of the pure component A (V8). The relative solution viscosity of component A) is typically between 1.275 and 1.290. If component C) is absent, the solution viscosity of A) is noticeably lowered (V7).

    [0235] The observed stabilization of the relative solution viscosity is also manifested by lowering of the MVR and IMVR, and in a smaller difference between IMVR and MVR. The more component C is added and the higher the acid number of component C, the more MVR and IMVR approach the level of the pure component A (V8), and the smaller the difference between IMVR and MVR becomes, which indicates significant attenuation of the molecular weight-reducing reactions at temperature. A noticeable effect on MVR and IMVR only occurs from concentrations of component C) of 0.10 part by weight to 10 parts by weight of component B) (comparison of experiments V7, V8 and V1 with 1 or of V6 with 6).

    [0236] The use of component C) additionally achieves a significant improvement in the toughness of the moulding compound from 0.10 part by weight of component C) per 10 parts by weight of component B). From concentrations of 1.5 parts by weight of component C) per 10 parts by weight of component B), however, there is a deterioration in puncture impact resistance (multiaxial impact resistance) (puncture impact test; comparison of experiments 5 and V2).

    [0237] If, moreover, the acid number of component C) is below 30 mg KOH/g, stabilization of the solution viscosity and lowering of the MVR/IMVR are achieved only at higher concentrations of C) (see experiments V3 and V4 compared to V5 and to 4, 5 and 9), although these higher concentrations of C) in turn have an adverse effect on puncture impact resistance.

    [0238] In virtually all the experiments, it is apparent that good Charpy impact resistance is achieved. However, it also becomes clear that, on the basis of this Charpy impact resistance, no conclusions can be drawn about the multiaxial impact resistance in the puncture impact experiment. These are surprisingly at a high level for the experiments according to the invention only.

    [0239] Moreover, it can also be seen that the Vicat temperature, within the range of contents of component C) according to the invention, approaches the Vicat temperature of the pure component A) (experiment V8). The higher the acid number and the higher the molecular weight of component C), and the closer the relative solution viscosity to the relative solution viscosity of the pure component A given the same amount of component C), the more marked this tendency is.

    [0240] Overall, it can thus be inferred from Table 1 that only specific waxes C) having specific acid numbers and molar masses are suitable for achieving a good balance between solution viscosity, Vicat temperature, reinforcement (modulus of elasticity) and multiaxial impact resistance. Especially for multiaxial impact resistance and a high Vicat temperature, the concentration of component C) has an upper limit. If too much of component C) is added, there is a deterioration in multiaxial puncture impact, Vicat temperature and modulus of elasticity; Table 1 experiments 1-5 and 6-9 versus V2-V5, especially 4-5 and 9 versus V3-V4.

    [0241] As can be inferred from Table 2, different components C) lead to different results in the puncture impact experiment. The comparison in Table 2 makes it clear that only with the components C1), C5) and C6) according to the invention having acid number and molar mass according to the invention are good multiaxial impact resistances achieved in combination with high Vicat temperature.

    [0242] As can be inferred from Table 3, the flow path covered by compositions 13 to 16 in the flow spiral is always constantly higher than the flow path of the pure polycarbonate A, even though the person skilled in the art, on consideration of the MVR values, would actually expect the flowability to fall with rising content of component B). Even in the case of 50% by weight of B), very good flow paths can still be achieved. Inventive examples 13-16 additionally have a unique combination of high flowability and high filler content, with achievement of additional advantageous properties such as thermal conductivity and heat distortion resistance via the filler content. Surprisingly, in spite of addition of component C) which is adsorbed onto the surface of the talc particles, it is nevertheless possible to achieve excellent thermal conductivities of up to 2 W/(mK), based on the area of the injection moulding according to ASTM E 1461:2013. Toughness in the puncture impact experiment remains at a high level in spite of a significant filler content of 30% or 40% by weight of component B) (Examples 15 and 16).

    [0243] It can be seen from Table 4 that the improvement in flow path in the case of a more viscous polycarbonate (A2) is much clearer than in the case of a polycarbonate having lower viscosity (comparison with Table 3). Again, there is no correlation of the improved flow path with the MVR obtained.

    [0244] The results in Table 5 demonstrate that, even using a polysiloxane-polycarbonate block cocondensate as component A), stabilization occurs through the inventive in situ sizing of the talc B) by component C1), which becomes apparent from a higher relative solution viscosity and a lower MVR and IMVR. A significant improvement in (multiaxial) impact resistance is also achieved by means of component C) according to the invention.
