Description
偏光フィルムを重水で0.003質量%になるように溶解した後、0.15質量%になるように、ロータリーエバポレーターで濃縮した溶液を1H-NMRの測定サンプルとした。1H-NMR(日本電子株式会社製JNM-AL400:400MHz)測定は80℃で行い、積算回数は256回に設定した。ALICE2(日本電子株式会社製)を用いて以下の方法で解析した。測定して得られた1H-NMRチャートについて、ベースラインが滑らかになるように位相を調整した後、アベレージポイントを20に設定して自動でベースラインの補正を行った。次に、測定溶媒である重水のピークが4.65ppmの位置になるように、リファレンスとして自動で設定した。その後、図1のようにホウ素含有化合物(B)に含まれる炭化水素基の水素ピークを積分して、そのピーク面積(面積A)を求めた。このとき、PVA由来の水素ピークと重なっていないホウ素含有化合物(B)に含まれる炭化水素基の水素ピーク面積を足し合わせたもの(面積B)をピーク面積の基準にし、ホウ素含有化合物(B)の該当する炭化水素基の水素数と面積Bの値が同じになるように設定した。次に1.6ppm~2.4ppmの範囲の水素ピークを、PVAのメチレン基由来の水素ピークと、PVAのメチレン基由来の水素ピークと重なっているホウ素含有化合物(B)に含まれる炭化水素基の水素ピークの合計と見なしてピーク面積(面積C)を求めた。その後、PVA由来のメチレン基の水素ピークと重なっているホウ素含有化合物(B)の炭化水素基の水素数を面積Cから差し引いた面積Dを算出した。これらの方法で求めた値を下記式(1)に代入してPVA(A)100質量部に対するホウ素含有化合物(B)由来のホウ素元素含有量(質量部)を算出した。なお、下記式(1)のXはPVAのピークと重なっていないホウ素含有化合物(B)に含まれる炭化水素基の水素数、Yはホウ素含有化合物(B)の1分子当たりのホウ素数である。なお、式(1)は、変性されていないPVAを用いた時に用いられる式であり、変性されたPVAを原料として用いるときには、式(1)を適宜変形する必要がある。

収縮力は島津製作所製の恒温槽付きオートグラフ「AG-X」とビデオ式伸び計「TR ViewX120S」を用いて測定した。測定には20℃/20%RHで18時間調湿した偏光フィルムを使用した。オートグラフ「AG-X」の恒温槽を20℃にした後、偏光フィルム(長さ方向15cm、幅方向1.5cm)をチャック(チャック間隔5cm)に取り付け、引張り開始と同時に、80℃へ恒温槽の昇温を開始した。偏光フィルムを1mm/minの速さで引張り、張力が2Nに到達した時点で引張りを停止し、その状態で4時間後までの張力を測定した。このとき、熱膨張によってチャック間の距離が変わるため、チャックに標線シールを貼り、ビデオ式伸び計「TR ViewX120S」を用いてチャックに貼り付けた標線シールが動いた分だけチャック間の距離が一定になるように修正しながら測定を行った。なお、測定初期(測定開始10分以内)に張力の極小値が生じる場合には、4時間後の張力の測定値から張力の極小値を差し引き、その差を偏光フィルムの収縮力とした。
PVAフィルムを5cm×10cmにカットし、30℃の蒸留水1000mLに30分間浸漬した。その後、PVAフィルムを取り出し、ろ紙でPVAフィルム表面の水分をふき取り、浸漬後のPVAフィルム質量(質量H)を測定した。その後、105℃の乾燥機にPVAフィルムを入れ、16時間乾燥させた後、乾燥後のPVAフィルム質量(質量I)を測定した。PVAフィルムの膨潤度は下記式(6)に質量Hと質量Iの値を代入して算出した。
膨潤度(%)=(質量H/質量I) ×100 (6)
PVA(けん化度99.9モル%、重合度2400)100質量部、可塑剤としてグリセリン10質量部、及び界面活性剤としてポリオキシエチレンラウリルエーテル硫酸ナトリウム0.1質量部を含み、PVAの含有率が10質量%である水溶液を製膜原液として用いて、これを80℃の金属ロール上で乾燥し、得られたフィルムを熱風乾燥機中で120℃の温度で10分間熱処理をすることにより膨潤度を200%に調整して、厚みが30μmのPVAフィルムを製造した。
