「示差走査熱量計(DSC)によって測定される結晶融解が完全に完了することを示す温度」とは、好ましくは、融解ピークの補外融解終了温度である。融解ピークの補外融解終了温度とは、後記の実施例に記載の通り求めることができる。即ち、融解ピークがシャープな場合には、JIS-K7121に準拠し、融解ピークの補外融解終了温度は、ピーク終了前の最大傾斜の点で引いた接線とピーク後のベースラインとの交点の温度である(Rigaku,Thermo plus EVO ソフトウェアによって認識させる)。融解ピーク形状が複数重なっている場合には、より高温側のピークに対してマニュアルにて接線を引き直し、ベースラインとの交点を補外融解終了温度とする。
結晶性熱可塑性高分子のバルク中にすでに分散しているラメラ結晶をはじめとする結晶の一部の結晶が溶け残って結晶核として働くので、一次核形成の待機時間が必要なくなり、溶融押出直後の結晶性の低さからくる粘着性も減少し、繊維やフィルムなど成形体が膠着しにくくなり、溶融紡糸直後、フィルム化直後に巻き取りや延伸が可能であり、生産性が向上する。

[フローテスタを用いた一定温度による溶融紡糸]
フローテスタCFT-500D型((株)島津製作所製)あるいはCFT-500EX((株)島津製作所製)を使用して溶融押出紡糸を行った
4HB含有PHA共重合体のDSCとCFT(キャピラリーフローテスタ:CapillaryFlowtester)の測定結果を下記表1に示す。
Mw94万のP(3HB)(サンプルS1とする)をフローテスタ(CFT)とDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は181.0℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ140~189℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は175.0℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は179.7℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は188.7℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が低く、完全溶融状態でなければ流出しないことが判明した。即ち、DSC補外融解終了温度以下の温度では流出せず、部分溶融押出はできなかった。図1にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
Mw116万のP(3HB-co-11.8モル%4HB)(サンプルS2とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は131.3℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ80~167℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は95.2℃と141.8℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は158.7℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は167.0℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、131.3以上158.7℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図2にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
部分溶融が可能な温度として135℃(実施例11)、150℃(実施例12)、ほぼ溶融している温度として170℃(比較例3)、180℃(比較例4)にて溶融紡糸を行った。
溶融紡糸前のMwは116万であったのに対して、135℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは110万、150℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは108万であり、170℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは72万であり、180℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは46万であった。それぞれの温度での溶融紡糸後の分子量Mwの残存率は溶融紡糸前の分子量Mw116万を100%とすると、135℃で95%、150℃で93%であるのに対して170℃では62%、180℃では39%であり、より低温にて紡糸できることは分子量低下の抑制に効果的であることが明確になった。特に完全溶融状態ではない135℃や150℃での部分溶融紡糸では分子量低下抑制が顕著であった。結果を表2に示した。
また、135℃、150℃での部分溶融押出紡糸では、170℃、180℃の溶融押出紡糸で見られるような紡糸直後のポリマーの粘着性が抑えられて膠着せず、室温にて30分~1時間程度の結晶化時間を取ることなく、巻取や延伸に移ることができた。即ち、部分溶融押出紡糸により、結晶化時間を短縮し、高分子の溶融加工性を改善し、生産性を向上することができることが示された。
Mw100万のP(3HB-co-13.1モル%4HB)(サンプルS3とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は125.1℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ49~144℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は63.7℃と114.8℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は135.1℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は155.0℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、125.1以上135.1℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図3にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
溶融紡糸前のMwは100万であったのに対して、126℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは95万、130℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは97万、135℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは97万、140℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは92万、150℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは82万、160℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは65万であり、170℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは54万であった。それぞれの温度での溶融紡糸後の分子量Mwの残存率は溶融紡糸前の分子量Mw100万を100%とすると、126℃で95%、130℃で97%、135℃で97%、150℃で82%、160℃で65%であるのに対して170℃では53%であり、より低温にて紡糸できること、特に部分溶融状態が可能な低温にて紡糸できることは分子量低下の抑制に効果的であることが明確になった。特に完全溶融状態ではないことが明確な135℃以下での部分溶融紡糸では分子量低下抑制が顕著であった。
結果を表3に示した。
170℃の溶融紡糸では、押出されたポリマーの粘着性が強く、膠着が見られ、巻取後に固化したポリマーは解舒できなかった。一方で135℃以下にて部分溶融押出紡糸した糸では粘着性がほとんど見られず、紡糸直後に膠着せずに巻取や延伸が可能であった。即ち、部分溶融押出紡糸により、結晶化時間を短縮し、高分子の溶融加工性を改善し、生産性を向上することができることが示された。
Mw90万のP(3HB-co-14.7モル%4HB)(サンプルS4とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は113.9℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ88~145℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は93.6℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は140.9℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は144.7℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、113.9以上140.9℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図4にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。

170℃の溶融紡糸では、押出されたポリマーの粘着性が強く膠着が見られ、巻取後に固化したポリマーは解舒できなかった。一方で140℃以下にて部分溶融押出紡糸した糸では粘着性がほとんど見られず、紡糸直後に膠着せずに巻取や延伸が可能であった。即ち、部分溶融押出紡糸により、結晶化時間を短縮し、高分子の溶融加工性を改善し、生産性を向上することができることが示された。
Mw75万のP(3HB-co-15.3モル%4HB)(サンプルS5とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は109.4℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ58~170℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は65.5、92.7、110.0、164.3℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は80.0、109.0、130.2、168.9℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は172.6℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、109.4以上168.9℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図5にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
部分溶融が可能な温度として115℃(実施例19)、120℃(実施例20)、125℃(実施例21)にて溶融紡糸を行った。
溶融紡糸前のMwは75万であったのに対して、115℃、120℃、125℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwはいずれも75万であった。150℃を大幅に下回る温度での部分溶融状態で紡糸できることは分子量低下の抑制に効果的であることが明確になった。結果を表5に示した。
125℃以下にて部分溶融押出紡糸した糸では粘着性がほとんど見られず、紡糸直後に膠着せずに巻取や延伸が可能であった。即ち、部分溶融押出紡糸により、結晶化時間を短縮し、高分子の溶融加工性を改善し、生産性を向上することができることが示された。
Mw71万のP(3HB-co-15.3モル%4HB)(サンプルS6とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は113.8℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ81~155℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は91.2℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は145.6℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は161.1℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、113.8以上145.6℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図6にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
ほぼ溶融している温度として160℃(比較例9)、170℃(比較例10)にて溶融紡糸を行った。
溶融紡糸前のMwは71万であったのに対して、160℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは48万、170℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは31万であり、部分溶融状態ではない160℃や170℃での高温での溶融紡糸では分子量低下が避けがたいことが判明した。結果を表6に示した。
160℃、170℃の溶融紡糸で押出されたポリマーには粘着性が強く見られ、延伸するためには室温にて30分から1時間程度の結晶固化時間が必要であった。
Mw62万のP(3HB-co-16.0モル%4HB)(サンプルS7とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は94.0℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ57~178℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は99.4℃であり、メインの溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は105.8℃、メイン溶融ピークに続くなだらかな溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は139.7℃、高温側の溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は175.9℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は178.2℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、94.0以上175.9℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図7にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
部分溶融が可能な温度として130℃(実施例22)、160℃(実施例23)にて溶融紡糸を行った。
溶融紡糸前のMwは62万であったのに対して、130℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは61万、160℃での部分溶融紡糸後のMwは50万、170℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは44万であった。それぞれの温度での溶融紡糸後の分子量Mwの残存率は溶融紡糸前の分子量Mw62万を100%とすると、130℃で98%、160℃で81%であるのに対して170℃では71%であった。DSCにて高温部分(172℃付近)で溶融する結晶が一部混入しているサンプルS7のような場合には、160、170℃においても一部の結晶が溶融しないで残っている部分溶融状態であると考えられるが、PHAの溶融温度としては相対的に高い温度であるため分子量低下が見られている。130℃と低温で溶融紡糸した場合には分子量低下抑制は明らかであり、より低温にて紡糸できることは分子量低下の抑制に効果的であることが確認できた。

Mw104万のP(3HB-co-32.9モル%4HB)(サンプルS11とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は123.1℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ40~148℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は44.8℃、79.1℃と123.8℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は55.9℃、88.1℃と144.7℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は151.4℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、123.1以上144.7℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図11にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。

Mw46万のP(3HB-co-8.0モル%3HV)(サンプルS13とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は151.6℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ125~174℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は152.1℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は164.9℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は173.9℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、151.6以上164.9℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図13にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
部分溶融が可能な温度として160℃(実施例30)、ほぼ溶融している温度として175℃(比較例11)、185℃(比較例12)にて溶融紡糸を行った。
溶融紡糸前のMwは46万であったのに対して、160℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは45万、175℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは39万、185℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは36万であり、それぞれの温度での溶融紡糸後の分子量Mwの残存率は溶融紡糸前の分子量Mw46万を100%とすると、160℃で97%であるのに対して175℃で86%、185℃では79%であった。
P(3HB-co-4HB)共重合体だけでなく、他のモノマーユニットからなるP(3HB-co-3HV)共重合体であっても、より低温での溶融紡糸では分子量低下を抑制する効果が顕著であった。結果を表9に示した。
185℃の溶融紡糸では、押出されたポリマーの粘着性が強く膠着が見られ、巻取後に固化したポリマーは解舒できなかった。一方で、160℃で部分溶融押出紡糸した糸では粘着性がほとんど見られず、紡糸直後に膠着せずに巻取や延伸が可能であった。即ち、部分溶融押出紡糸により、結晶化時間を短縮し、高分子の溶融加工性を改善し、生産性を向上することができることが示された。
Mw19万のP(3HB-co-12.0モル%3HV)(サンプルS14とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は140.4℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ124~166℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は144.9℃であり、DSC補外融解終了温度は156.7℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は165.7℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、140.4以上156.7℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。図14にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
溶融紡糸前のMwは19万であったのに対して、145℃、150℃、155℃での溶融紡糸後のMwはいずれも19万、170℃での溶融紡糸後のMwは16万であり、それぞれの温度での溶融紡糸後の分子量Mwの残存率は溶融紡糸前の分子量Mw19万を100%とすると、145℃で98%、150℃で98%、155℃で98%であるのに対して170℃では83%であった。
P(3HB-co-4HB)共重合体だけでなく、P(3HB-co-3HV)共重合体であっても、より低温での溶融紡糸では分子量低下を抑制する効果が顕著であった。結果を表10に示した。
170℃の溶融紡糸では、押出されたポリマーの粘着性が強く膠着が見られ、巻取後に固化したポリマーは解舒できなかった。一方で150℃以下にて部分溶融押出紡糸した糸では粘着性がほとんど見られず、紡糸直後に膠着せずに巻取や延伸が可能であった。即ち、部分溶融押出紡糸により、結晶化時間を短縮し、高分子の溶融加工性を改善し、生産性を向上することができることが示された。
Mw33万のP(3HB-co-35.5モル%3HV)(サンプルS15とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は85.1℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ45~173℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は89.0℃であり、165.4℃にも3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる小さな溶融ピークの頂点があった。メインの溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は106.0℃、高温側の溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は173.0℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は174.6℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、85.1以上173.0℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。仮に3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる高温側の小さな溶融ピークを示す成分が混入していないと仮定しても、低温側の溶融ピークの補外融解終了温度は106.0℃であり、その場合には85.1以上106.0℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることがわかる。図15にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
Mw83万のP(3HB-co-48.2モル%3HV)(サンプルS16とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は83.8℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ50~178℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は75.0℃と88.7℃であり、165.7℃にも3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる小さな溶融ピークの頂点があった。メインの溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は94.8℃、高温側の溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は173.7℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は177.7℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、83.8以上173.7℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。仮に3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる高温側の小さな溶融ピークを示す成分が混入していないと仮定しても、低温側の溶融ピークの補外融解終了温度は94.8℃であり、その場合には83.8以上94.8℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることがわかる。図16にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
Mw73万のP(3HB-co-61.5モル%3HV)(サンプルS17とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は84.5℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ56~178℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は90.5℃であり、166.3℃にも3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる小さな溶融ピークの頂点があった。メインの溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は97.5℃、高温側の溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は173.2℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は178.5℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、84.5以上173.2℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。仮に3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる高温側の小さな溶融ピークを示す成分が混入していないと仮定しても、低温側の溶融ピークの補外融解終了温度は97.5℃であり、その場合には84.5以上97.5℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることがわかる。図17にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
Mw73万のP(3HB-co-73.2モル%3HV)(サンプルS18とする)をCFTとDSCにて分析した。CFT流出開始温度は91.1℃であり、DSCによる結晶融解ピークの幅はおよそ64~179℃であった。結晶融解ピーク頂点は95.0℃であり、166.9℃にも3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる小さな溶融ピークの頂点があった。メインの溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は101.3℃、高温側の溶融ピークのDSC補外融解終了温度は174.3℃、融点ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度は178.2℃であった。CFT流出開始温度よりもDSC補外融解終了温度が高く、91.1以上174.3℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることが判明した。仮に3HBリッチ結晶由来と思われる高温側の小さな溶融ピークを示す成分が混入していないと仮定しても、低温側の溶融ピークの補外融解終了温度は101.3℃であり、その場合には91.1以上101.3℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出できることがわかる。図18にCFTとDSCの測定結果を示した。
DSCの昇温過程に見られる熱可塑性高分子の溶融ピークの形状から、補外融解終了温度よりも低い領域での溶融成形では結晶構造が残存していると考えられ、フローテスタ昇温法での流出開始温度がDSCの補外融解終了温度よりも低い場合には、CFT流出開始温度とDSC補外融解終了温度との間で溶融成形は部分溶融状態での成形であると考えられる。DSCの昇温過程でのポリマーの結晶構造変化を広角X線回析(WAXD)を使用して解析した。
実施例6、22、23で使用したサンプルS7、P(3HB-co-16.0モル%4HB)2mgをX線用のキャピラリーに入れ、DSCが測定できる昇温装置に入れ、昇温速度10℃/分で加熱しながら、広角X線を撮影した。広角X線は2℃刻みで、撮影時間1秒で測定した。DSC測定は、約50℃から200℃まで行った。そのときのDSC曲線と広角X線測定回折図を図19に示した。
DSC曲線には2つの吸熱(融解)ピークが観測された。低温側の吸熱ピークは、厚みが薄いラメラ結晶の融解ピークであると考えられる。高温側の吸熱ピークは、厚いラメラ結晶の融解ピークであると考えられる。広角X線図には、明確な結晶の存在を示す2つのリングパターンが確認できた。低温側の吸熱ピークを越えても、2つの結晶由来のピークは消滅していないことから、厚みの厚い結晶は残存していることが分かる。
このサンプルは実施例6で示したように94.0以上175.9℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出が可能であり、実際にその範囲内である130℃でも溶融押出紡糸可能であった(実施例22)。広角X線図から、130℃でも結晶由来のピーク(リングパターン)は確認できた。したがって、このサンプルを用いた130℃での溶融紡糸では、全ての結晶を溶融していない状態、つまり部分溶融状態にて紡糸が可能であることが証明された。
実施例25、31、32、33、比較例13で使用したサンプルS14、P(3HB-co-12.0モル%3HV)2mgをX線用のキャピラリーに入れ、DSCが測定できる昇温装置に入れ、昇温速度10℃/分で加熱しながら、広角X線を撮影した。広角X線は2℃刻みで、撮影時間1秒で測定した。DSC測定は、約50℃から200℃まで行った。そのときのDSC曲線と広角X線測定回折図を図20に示した。
こちらのDSC曲線には吸熱ピークは一つしか存在しなかった。広角X線図には、明瞭な2つの結晶由来の回折パターンが観測できた。このサンプルは実施例25で示したように140.4以上156.7℃未満の範囲にて部分溶融押出が可能であり、実際にその範囲内である145℃、150℃、155℃でも部分溶融押出紡糸可能であった(実施例31、32、33)。図21の広角X線図の4で示した150℃での回折パターンは、150℃での溶融紡糸温度でも結晶由来のパターンが存在しており、全ての結晶を溶融していない状態、つまり部分溶融状態にて紡糸が可能であることが証明された。補外融解終了温度156.7℃と溶融ピークがベースラインへ到達する温度165.7℃の間にある160℃の広角X線回折図(図20の5)でもわずかながら結晶由来のリングパターンは確認できることから、160℃においてもほとんどの結晶は融解しているが、ごくわずかの結晶は残存していると考えられる。
