2. Description of the Related Art Liquid crystal polyester is excellent in moldability and heat resistance and is used as a constituent material for small electronic parts.
Among them, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, terephthalic acid,
When a liquid crystal polyester is produced by polycondensation using 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl as a main component, the melting point is 320 ° C.
When the above liquid crystalline polyester is obtained and the liquid crystalline polyester and the inorganic filler are appropriately melt-kneaded, a composition having a deflection temperature under load of 230 ° C. or higher can be obtained. Since the liquid crystal polyester composition has the highest level of heat resistance in the thermoplastic resin composition, it is exposed to high-temperature environments such as constituent materials for electric and electronic parts that require solder heat resistance, and other solder welding processes. It is preferably used for structural members.

However, the heat resistance required for the thermoplastic resin composition constituting the above-mentioned electric / electronic parts is not limited to the melting point and the deflection temperature under load, but also in the high temperature environment related to the solder welding process or the use environment. Therefore, it is required that the molded product does not cause surface blister (blister) (hereinafter, this property is referred to as "blister resistance").

That is, the electricity used in the solder welding process
When a liquid crystal polyester composition having poor blister resistance is contained as a constituent material in an electronic component, a device composed of these becomes an off-spec product in the final manufacturing process. In particular, in recent years, there has been a great demand for a resin composition having excellent blister resistance that can cope with the processing temperature when using lead-free solder.

The factors and causes that control the superiority and inferiority of the blister resistance are still unknown. In the chemical and physical constituent factors of the liquid crystal polyester composition, the polymerization reaction step of obtaining the liquid crystal polyester from the monomer, the melt-kneading step of obtaining the inorganic filler-containing composition, and the molding processing step (mainly the injection molding step) of obtaining a molded article. It is considered that mechanical and thermal history, interfacial properties between the liquid crystalline polyester and the inorganic filler inside the molded product, etc. are complicatedly related. That is, even if the heat resistance such as the melting point and the deflection temperature under load is excellent, the blister resistance is not necessarily excellent.

In the present invention, as the melt-kneading means, a kneader having a pair of double-threaded screws and an open port (vent port) is used. For example, a twin-screw kneading extruder having a vent port. The rotation direction of the pair of screws is preferably the same direction because the materials to be kneaded are switched (the surface is renewed) sufficiently. The opening is for removing volatile matter, which is one of the causes of deterioration of blister resistance, from the material to be kneaded, and may be opened to the atmosphere or connected to a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure. In addition, a plurality of openings may be provided.

The pair of screws have at least one kneading disc portion. The kneading disc part is composed of one or a plurality of kneading discs.

In such a structure, the gap between the tip portion of the kneading disk and the inner surface of the barrel is, for example, 0.5.
Since the width is extremely narrow, the shearing force is large and the melt-kneading is effectively performed. However, local heat is generated in the tip portion. The present inventors considered that optimizing the balance between obtaining uniform melt-kneading and avoiding excessive shear stress history has a great influence on the improvement of blister resistance. Further, the kneading disk portion plays an important role in kneading, but if it is provided excessively, a large shear heat insulation occurs in the entire material to be kneaded, which causes deterioration of the polymer. To keep the material temperature below a certain level to avoid this, the screw rotation speed cannot be increased,
I thought that there was a problem that productivity was limited. The present invention is based on such a detailed analysis of the kneading state.

In the present invention, the value obtained by dividing the major axis length of the cross-sectional shape of the screw and the kneading disk by the minor axis length (hereinafter referred to as "meshing ratio") is 1.60 or more, preferably 1. It should be 62 or more. The mesh ratio of a kneading machine having a pair of general-purpose screws is 1.55 or less. As a kneading machine according to the present invention having a meshing ratio of 1.62, which is available from the market, there is HYPERKTX series manufactured by Kobe Steel, Ltd.

Due to the screw mesh ratio, the material to be kneaded is more uniformly subjected to shear stress in a state where slippage and the like are suppressed, and shear heat generation is more uniformly generated. Among the liquid crystal polyesters, a polymer having a melting point of more than 320 ° C. and an aromatic monomer as a main repeating unit, such as the liquid crystal polyester according to the present invention, is difficult to melt only by preheating from a barrel heater. The stress is evenly received, shearing heat is uniformly generated in the material to be kneaded to avoid melting only the polymer surface, and melting the entire polymer suppresses local deterioration, which deteriorates the blister resistance. It is thought to suppress. In the present invention, by setting the “mesh ratio” to 1.60 or more, preferably 1.62 or more, the ratio of the heat energy for melting the liquid crystal polyester depending on the shear heat generation increases, and uniform shear heat generation occurs. Reserved. Further, due to the meshing ratio, a larger void portion is generated between the screw and the barrel, so that the material to be kneaded is opened into a sufficient void immediately after being subjected to shearing heat and is air-cooled, which causes blisters at the same time. It is considered possible to discharge volatile components with high possibility.

It is preferable that m is less than or equal to m to suppress the influence of water intervening at the time of shear heat generation. If the water content is more than 500 ppm, the liquid crystal polyester may be decomposed in the melting step to deteriorate the blister resistance. The water content level is, for example, by allowing the liquid crystal polyester to stand in a dry heat oven set at 150 ° C. for 1 hour or more, or
It can be obtained by drying the liquid crystal polyester for 1 hour or more with a hopper dryer set at 150 ° C. However, if it is possible to maintain 500 ppm or less, the drying step is not always necessary.
