AFMで測定されるRtop、R1nm、R2nm、R3nm、R20nmをあらわす概念図を図1に示す。図1中、基準面とは、測定表面における基準面からの距離が0となるように定められる高さである(基準面よりも高い場合は正の値、基準面よりも低い場合は負の値となる)。
未延伸フィルムを二軸延伸する場合の延伸条件に関しては特に制限されるものでは無いが、本発明の二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムがポリエステル樹脂を主成分とする場合、長手方向の延伸としては、未延伸フィルムを70℃以上に加熱されたロール群に導き、長手方向(縦方向、すなわちシートの進行方向)に延伸し、20~50℃の温度のロール群で冷却することが好ましい。長手方向の延伸における加熱ロール温度の下限についてはシートの延伸性を損なわない限り特に制限はないが、使用するポリエステル樹脂のガラス転移温度+5℃が好ましい。また、長手方向の延伸倍率の好ましい範囲は2.5倍~5倍である。より好ましい範囲としては3.0倍~3.5倍である。長手方向の延伸倍率が2.5倍以下であると、配向結晶化が進行せずフィルム強度が著しく低下する。一方で、延伸倍率が4.5倍を超える場合、延伸に伴うポリエステル樹脂の配向結晶化が進行することで脆くなると共に製膜時の破れが発生する場合がある。
続いて、長手方向に直角な方向(幅方向)の延伸に関しては、フィルムの両端をクリップで把持しながらテンターに導き、70~160℃の温度に加熱された雰囲気中にて、長手方向に直角な方向(幅方向)への3~5倍の延伸、およびその後、延伸されたフィルムを熱処理し、フィルム内部の分子配向構造の安定化を行うことが好ましい。熱処理時にフィルムの受けた熱履歴温度に関しては、後述する示差走査熱量計(DSC)にて測定される融点温度の直下に現れる微小吸熱ピーク(以下、Tmetaと称することがある。)温度にて確認することができるが、テンター装置設定温度としては例えばポリエチレンテレフタレート(融点255℃)が主成分である場合には、一般にテンター内の最高温度が200℃以上250℃以下であるように設定することが好ましく、他の熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とする際は、当該熱可塑性樹脂の融点-55℃以下融点-5℃以下に設定することが好ましい。ポリエチレンテレフタレートが主成分である場合においては、熱処理温度が200℃を下回る場合、他の熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とする場合においては、当該熱可塑性樹脂の融点-55℃を下回る場合、前記、大気圧グロー放電処理により形成された突起が十分に成長できず結果として前述の好ましい範囲の突起を形成することが困難になる場合がある。一方、ポリエチレンテレフタレートが主成分であり、250℃を超えて熱処理を施す場合、他の熱可塑性樹脂を主成分とする場合においては、当該熱可塑性樹脂の融点-5℃を超えて熱処理を施す場合、フィルムが融解し破れが多発し生産性が低下する場合がある。ポリエチレンテレフタレートが主成分である場合の熱処理温度のより好ましい範囲としては220℃以上245℃以下である。
更に熱処理した後に、フィルムに寸法安定性を付与することを目的として、0%以上6%以下の範囲でリラックス(弛緩)処理を行ってもよい。
延伸倍率は、長手方向と幅方向それぞれ3~5倍とするが、その面積倍率(縦延伸倍率×横延伸倍率)は9~20倍であることが好ましく、9~15倍であることがより好ましい。面積倍率が9倍未満であると、得られる二軸延伸フィルムの耐久性が不十分となり、面積倍率が20倍を超えると延伸時に破れを生じ易くなる傾向がある。
フィルムの幅方向高配向度化は、長手方向の機械延伸倍率よりも幅方向の機械延伸倍率を大きくすることで実施される。具体的には長手方向の機械延伸倍率をX(%)、幅方向の機械倍倍率をY(%)とした時、Y/Xにて算出される値が1.00以上であることが好ましい、より好ましくは1.05以上、更に好ましくは1.10以上、最も好ましくは1.20以上である。Y/Xの値が1.00を下回る場合、前記長手方向の応力を低下させる効果が得られず、突起を好ましい範囲に制御できない場合がある。
テンター内温度を80℃から段々と昇温していき、延伸ゾーンの最高温度を上げること、熱処理ゾーンの最高温度を下げること、熱処理ゾーンの最高温度をそのままに開始温度を下げることなどで、延伸ゾーンと熱処理ゾーンの温度差を低減することで達成できる。具体的には延伸ゾーンと熱処理ゾーンとの温度差が160℃以下であることが好ましい。さらに好ましくは100℃以下、最も好ましくは40℃以下である。温度差が160℃を超える場合、フィルムの延伸温度が低く、幅方向に均一な延伸ができず、厚みムラの発生や平面性が悪化する場合、もしくは熱処理ゾーンの温度が高くフィルムが融解し破れが多発、生産性が低下する場合がある。
テンター内、延伸ゾーンの後ろに配する熱処理ゾーンにて再度幅方向に延伸を行うことで達成できる。具体的には熱処理ゾーンにて幅方向に1.05倍以上1.50倍以下で機械延伸倍率にて延伸することが好ましい。幅方向の延伸倍率が1.05倍より小さい場合、前記長手方向の力を抑制する効果が得られない場合がある。一方、幅方向の延伸倍率が1.50倍より大きい場合、フィルムの結晶化度が上がることで脆くなり、延伸の均一性が崩れたり破れが多発したりすることで生産性が低下する場合がある。

形状転写欠点評価としてはA~Cが良好であり、その中で最もAが優れている。
PET-1を180℃で2時間半減圧乾燥した後、押出機に供給し、溶融押出してフィルターで濾過した後、ダイを介し冷却ロール上に静電印可キャスト法を用いて、37℃に保ったキャスティングドラムに巻き付け冷却固化して未延伸フィルムを得た。この未延伸フィルムを相対する電極とアースロール間に導き、装置中に窒素ガスを導入し、E値が160W・min/m2となる条件で大気圧グロー放電処理を行った。
処理後の未延伸フィルムを逐次二軸延伸機により表2に記載の条件にて、長手方向に3.3倍(330%)、および幅方向にそれぞれ3.6倍(360%)、トータルで11.9倍延伸しその後、定長下240℃で熱処理した。その後、幅方向に弛緩処理を施し、厚み18μmの二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す。すべり性はやや劣るものの好ましい範囲内であり、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性ともに良好なフィルムであった。
製膜条件を表2、表3の通り変えた以外は、実施例1と同様にして厚み18μmの二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す。
実施例6、7では、低面積倍率条件として、機械延伸倍率を長手方向に3.3倍(330%)、幅方向に3.6倍(360%)の条件(実施例6)、および高面積倍率条件として、長手方向に4.0倍(400%)、幅方向に4.5倍(450%)の条件(実施例7)の下、表2、表3に記載の条件に従いテンター熱処理ゾーンにて延伸を行った。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す。
実施例6は実施例1対比で、実施例7は実施例4対比で高さ1nm以上2nm未満の突起個数が減少することで突起個数比率であるB/Aが増加、金属摩擦係数も低下した。結果、すべり性、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性全てにおいて問題の無いフィルムとなった。
実施例8、9では、それぞれ実施例5および実施例7から、「フィルムの横テン化」として表2、表3に記載の条件に従い、機械延伸倍率を長手方向に3.6倍(360%)、幅方向に4.5倍(450%)に設定した。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す。結果、実施例8、9どちらもすべり性、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性全てにおいて問題の無いフィルムとなった。
実施例10、11では、同様にP1層原料として、PET-1を、P2層原料としてPET-2を180℃で2時間半減圧乾燥した後、押出機に供給し、溶融押出してフィルターで濾過した後、ダイを介し冷却ロール上に静電印可キャスト法を用いた以外は実施例1と同様にして実施例10(2層構成)、実施例11(3層構成)のフィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りであり、実施例10、11どちらもすべり性、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性全てにおいて問題の無いフィルムとなった。
P1層の原料を、ポリイミド樹脂を主成分とするPET樹脂との混合体(PIとPETの混合体;融点255℃)に変更(実施例12)、ポリプロピレン樹脂(PP;融点165℃)に変更(実施例13)、ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂(PPS;融点280℃)に変更(実施例14)し、表2、表3の通り製膜条件を変更した以外は実施例7と同様に二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りであり、PIを用いた実施例12はフォトレジスト特性が実施例7に比べて干低下したものの実用性には問題なく、実施例12~14ともすべり性、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、ブロッキング耐性全てにおいて問題の無いフィルムとなった。
P1層の原料にPET-1と微小シリカ粒子マスタペレットであるMB-Aを微小シリカ粒子が表1記載の量となるように配合し、押出機に供給した以外は実施例10と同様にして二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りであり、実施例15は突起個数比率であるB/Aが実施例10に対して増加し、傷つき耐性、ブロッキング耐性がやや劣るものの実用上問題なく、またすべり性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性は問題の無いフィルムとなった。
P1層の原料をPET-2とした以外は、実施例8と同様にして厚み18μmの二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す。P1層に固有粘度(IV)が低いポリエステル樹脂を用いることで突起形成の進行が抑制されるが、高さ1nm以上2nm未満の突起個数が減少することで突起個数比率であるB/Aが増加し、すべり性が僅かに低下するものの実用上問題なく、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性に優れたフィルムとなった。
表3に記載の通り、フィルム厚みが30μmである以外は実施例8、9と同様にして、それぞれ実施例17、実施例18を得た。得られた二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価は表6、表7に示す通りである。実施例17、18は実施例8、9と同等にすべり性、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性全てにおいて問題の無いフィルムとなった。
実施例17、18の二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムに、上述した方法にて、グリーンシート成形の支持体用フィルムを想定したグリーンシート評価を実施したところ、表6、7に示す通りどちらも良好な結果であり、グリーンシート成形の支持体用フィルムとして好適に用いることができる。
表3に記載の通り、フィルム厚みが4.5μmである以外は実施例8、9と同様にして、それぞれ実施例19、実施例20を得た。得られた二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価は表6、表7に示す通りである。実施例19、20は実施例8、9と同等にすべり性、傷つき耐性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性全てにおいて問題の無いフィルムとなった。
実施例19、20の二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムに、上述した方法にて、磁気記録媒体用ベースフィルムを想定したエラーレート評価を実施したところ、表6、7に示す通りどちらも良好な結果であり、磁気記録媒体用ベースフィルムとして好適に用いることができる。
実施例1と同様の方法で未延伸フィルムを得た後、大気圧グロー放電処理を行わずに逐次二軸延伸機へと導入したこと以外は実施例1と同様の方法で二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りであり。大気圧グロー放電処理を実施していないため、突起形成が不十分で突起個数比率であるB/Aが0まで低下、結果、すべり性、傷つき耐性、ブロッキング耐性が大幅に劣るフィルムとなった。
実施例4と同様の方法で未延伸フィルムを得た後、大気圧グロー放電処理を行わずに逐次二軸延伸機へと導入したこと以外は実施例1と同様の方法で二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りである。大気圧グロー放電処理を実施していないため、突起形成が不十分で突起個数比率であるB/Aが0まで低下、結果、すべり性、傷つき耐性、ブロッキング耐性が大幅に劣るフィルムとなった。
実施例1より、熱処理温度を255℃まで上昇させる以外は実施例1と同様の方法で二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りである。高さ3nm以上20nm未満の突起個数が増加することで突起個数比率であるB/Aが5を超えるまで増加し、すべり性が大幅に悪化。一方、熱処理温度がポリエステル樹脂の融点近傍まで上げたため、テンター出口でのフィルム破れが多発し安定な製膜は実施できなかった。またブロッキング耐性に関しても、高さ1nm以上10nm未満の突起の個数をDは実施例1から低下するもロールからのフィルム巻き出しは実用上問題なかったが、突起高さが10nm以上の突起が存在することでロールに表面欠点が頻発した。
実施例1より、熱処理温度を200℃まで低下させる以外は実施例1と同様の方法で二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りである。高さ3nm以上20nm未満の突起個数が低下することで突起個数比率であるB/Aが0まで低下、結果、すべり性、傷つき耐性が大幅に劣るフィルムとなった。
P1層の原料としてPET-1と大径シリカ粒子マスタペレットであるMB-Bを大径シリカ粒子が表1記載の量になるように配合し、またP2層の原料としてPET-1を押出機に供給した以外は実施例1と同様の方法にて二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りである。最大突起高さが20nmを超え、ヘイズが上昇し、フォトレジスト特性が大幅に劣り、またロールからのフィルム巻き出しは容易であるものの、フィルム表面に突起高さ20nm以上の突起に由来する表面欠点が多発しブロッキング耐性に劣るフィルムとなった。
P1層の原料としてPET-1と、添加剤として結晶核剤であるステアリン酸ナトリウム(結晶核剤‐1)を表1記載の量になるように配合した以外は実施例1と同様の方法にて二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りである。高さ1nm以上2nm未満の突起の個数Aが低減する一方で、高さ3nm以上20nm未満の突起の個数Bが増加することで突起個数比率であるB/Aが増加することで、すべり性は実施例1より悪化した。一方で、添加剤由来の表面異物が多く発生することでヘイズが上昇しフォトレジスト特性が大幅に悪化した。また高さ1nm以上10nm未満の突起の個数をDが減少すると共に、高さが10nm以上の突起が多く存在することで、表面欠点が多発しておりブロッキング耐性が大幅に悪化した。
実施例1と同様の方法で未延伸フィルムを得た後、大気圧グロー放電処理を行わずに逐次二軸延伸機へと導入する際に、長手方向に3.3倍(330%)に延伸した後に塗液1を塗布し、次いで幅方向に3.6倍(360%)に延伸し乾燥することで厚さ0.3μmの塗布層を有する二軸配向フィルムを得た。得られた二軸配向フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価を表4、表5に示す通りであり、すべり性、製膜安定性、フォトレジスト特性、ブロッキング耐性は実用上問題ないものの、コート層が削れることによる傷が多発し、傷つき耐性が大幅に悪化した。
表3に記載の通り、フィルム厚みが30μmである以外は比較例1、2と同様にして、それぞれ比較例8、比較例9をそれぞれ得た。得られた二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価は表6、表7に示す通りである。比較例8、9は比較例1、2と同等にすべり性、傷つき耐性、ブロッキング耐性が大幅に劣るフィルムとなった。
比較例8、9の二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムに、上述した方法にて、グリーンシート成形の支持体用フィルムを想定したグリーンシート評価を実施したところ、工程ロールや巻取り時のフィルム間での摩擦により表面にキズが多く発生しており、表6、7に示す通りどちらも実施例17、18に比べグリーンシート評価が大幅に劣る結果となった。
表3に記載の通り、フィルム厚みが4.5μmである以外は比較例1、2と同様にして、それぞれ比較例10、比較例11をそれぞれ得た。得られた二軸配向熱可塑性樹脂フィルムの物性、表面突起形状、特性評価は表6、表7に示す通りである。比較例10、11は比較例1、2と同等にすべり性、傷つき耐性、ブロッキング耐性が大幅に劣るフィルムとなった。
比較例10、11のフィルムに上述した方法にて、磁気記録媒体用ベースフィルムを想定したエラーレート評価を実施したところ、工程ロールや巻取り時のフィルム間での摩擦により表面にキズが多く発生しており、表6、7に示す通りどちらも実施例19、20に比べエラーレート評価が大幅に劣るフィルムであった。
