【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、液晶性ポリエステル樹脂組成物に関するものである。詳しくは。ウレタン樹脂で表面処理された炭素繊維を配合してなる液晶性ポリエステル樹脂組成物に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
溶融時に液晶性を発現する溶融液晶性ポリエステル樹脂(以下液晶ポリエステル樹脂と呼ぶ)は、耐熱性が優れ、溶融時に流動性即ち加工性が優れることから精密成形が可能な成形用材料として電気電子分野をはじめてとしてさまざまな分野で使用されつつある。特に、液晶ポリエステル樹脂にウレタン樹脂で表面処理された炭素繊維等の繊維状補強材を充填した樹脂組成物は、薄肉部あるいは複雑な形状を有する電気・電子部品に好適な材料となる。
しかしながら、該樹脂組成物は、加工温度が高いため、例えば射出成形に供するためのペレット状の樹脂組成物を溶融押出し加工によって得る工程、樹脂組成物の射出成形工程などにおいて、熱による樹脂組成物の劣化、分解、さらには分解ガスの発生が起ることがある。加工時のガス等の劣化物の一部は、成形品中に包埋されるため、部品として使用した場合には種々の問題を引き起こすことがある。例えば、ハンダ付け工程でのガス発生による発泡などが挙げられる。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記問題点を解決して、優れた機械物性、耐熱性、特にハンダ耐熱性を備えた、炭素繊維配合液晶ポリエステル樹脂組成物およびそれを用いてなる成形品を提供することを目的とするものである。

【0011】
本発明で用いる炭素繊維は、通常、化学組成の90%以上が炭素繊維よりなる繊維状物質であり、原料としては、ポリアクリロニトリル、ピッチ、再生セルロースなどを用いることができる。これらの原料を用いて紡糸される繊維状前駆体を1,000〜2,000℃で炭素化処理したもの、あるいは2,000〜3,000℃で黒鉛化処理したものが一般に使用される。該炭素繊維は、陽極酸化等の方法により表面を活性化されたものを用いることができる。
【0012】
ウレタン樹脂による炭素繊維の表面処理とは、炭素繊維表面の一部または全部を、未硬化または硬化されたウレタン樹脂で被覆処理することであり、炭素繊維の集束処理を兼ねるものである。該表面処理は、炭素繊維の取り扱い性、液晶ポリエステル樹脂との親和性等に寄与する。
ウレタン樹脂による炭素繊維の表面処理の手順としては、通常、ウレタン樹脂をアニオン系、カチオン系、またはノニオン系界面活性剤によりエマルジョン化し、該エマルジョンに炭素繊維束を浸漬し、水分を乾燥除去する工程を経る。必要に応じウレタン樹脂を加熱硬化させることがある。
【0013】
未硬化ウレタン樹脂としては、イソシアネート単独あるいはイソシアネートとポリオールの混合液を用いることができる。必要に応じてアミン等の触媒を含んでいてもよいし、未硬化ウレタン樹脂の一部が硬化していてもよい。イソシアネートの例としては、トリレンジイソシアネート(TDI)、ジフェニルメタンジイソシアネート(MDI)、ナフタレンジイソシアネート(NDI)等が、ポリオールの例としては、各種ポリエーテルポリオール、ポリエステルポリオール等が挙げられる。
【0014】
本発明においては、ウレタン樹脂で表面処理された炭素繊維中のウレタン樹脂量が0.5〜5.0重量%の範囲であることが特徴であり、中でも1.0〜3.0重量%の範囲であることが好ましい。該ウレタン樹脂量は、ウレタン樹脂で表面処理された炭素繊維からウレタン樹脂を溶解除去または分解除去した際の減量から求めることができる。該ウレタン樹脂量が0.5重量%よりも少ないと、炭素繊維の表面処理が不十分となり、取り扱い性に劣り、液晶ポリエステル樹脂への配合が困難となるため好ましくない。また、該ウレタン樹脂量が5.0重量%よりも多いと、熱による樹脂組成物の劣化、分解により分解ガスの発生等が起こり、樹脂組成物の熱時安定性等に影響を及ぼすことがあり好ましくない。
【0015】
本発明で用いる炭素繊維の数平均繊維径は、1〜30μmであることが好ましく、5〜15μmであることが更に好ましい。該数平均繊維径が1μmより小さいと、炭素繊維の表面処理が不十分となり、取り扱い性に劣り、液晶ポリエステル樹脂への配合が困難となるため好ましくない。また該数平均繊維径が30μmよりも大きいと、樹脂組成物の溶融造粒時にストランドの引き取り性が不安定になるため好ましくない。
また、該炭素繊維の数平均繊維長は、25〜6000μmであることが好ましく、30〜3000μmであることが更に好ましい。該数平均繊維長が25μmより短いと、炭素繊維による補強効果が低下するため好ましくない。また、該数平均繊維長が6000μmより長いと組成物の溶融造粒時にストランドの引き取り性が不安定となり、更に得られた樹脂組成物から成形された製品の表面状態が悪化するため好ましくない。
【0016】
本発明の樹脂組成物において、ウレタン樹脂で表面処理された炭素繊維の量は、液晶ポリエステル樹脂100重量部に対して5〜100重量部の範囲であるのが好ましく、より好ましくは10〜70重量部である。量が100重量部より多いと、ペレット化時にスクリュウへの噛み込み性が悪くなるとともに、成形加工時の可塑化が不安定になり、さらには成形体の機械強度の低下、外観の低下を生じるため好ましくない。また、量が5重量部より少ないと、成形体の機械強度が不十分となるため好ましくない。
【0017】
本発明の樹脂組成物を得るための原材料の配合手段としては、液晶ポリエステル樹脂、ウレタン樹脂で表面処理された炭素繊維、必要に応じ無機充填材、離型改良剤、熱安定剤などを、ヘンシェルミキサー、タンブラー等を用いて混合した後、押出機を用いて溶融混練することが一般的である。そのとき溶融混練法としては、全ての原材料を一括して混合した後で押出機へフィードしてもかまわないし、必要に応じて炭素繊維などの補強材や無機充填材などの原材料を、樹脂を主体とする原材料とは別にフィードしてもかまわない。本発明においては、液晶ポリエステル樹脂に必要に応じて炭素繊維の他に少量の他の充填材を添加しておくことができる。該充填材としては、ガラス繊維、シリカアルミナ繊維、ウォラストナイト、チタン酸カリウムウィスカー、ホウ酸アルミニウムウィスカー、酸化チタンウィスカー等の繊維状あるいは針状の補強材;炭酸カルシウム、ドロマイト、タルク、マイカ、クレイ、ガラスビーズなどの無機充填材等が挙げられ、その一種または二種以上を用いることができる。
【0018】
なお、本発明で用いられる液晶ポリエステル樹脂に対して、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で染料、顔料などの着色剤;酸化防止剤;熱安定剤;紫外線吸収剤;帯電防止剤;界面活性剤などの通常の添加剤を一種以上添加することができる。
【0019】
また、本発明において液晶ポリエステル樹脂に加えて、少量の他の熱可塑性樹脂、例えば、ポリアミド、ポリエステル、ポリフェニレンスルフィド、ポリエーテルケトン、ポリカーボネート、ポリフェニレンエーテルおよびその変性物、ポリスルフォン、ポリエーテルスルフォン、ポリエーテルイミド等や、少量の熱硬化性樹脂、例えば、フェノール樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂等の、一種または二種以上を添加することもできる。
【0020】
次に、本発明の成形品は、本発明の液晶ポリエステル樹脂組成物を用いてなるものであり、該液晶ポリエステル樹脂組成物を公知の方法で成形することにより得られる。当該成形方法としては、射出成形法、圧縮成形法、押出し成形法、中空成形法、等が挙げられるが、射出成形法が好ましい。本発明の樹脂組成物から成形される部品、部材の用途としては、例えば、コネクター、ソケット、リレー部品、コイルボビン、光ピックアップ、発振子、プリント配線板、コンピュータ関連部品、等の電気・電子部品;ICトレー、ウエハーキャリヤー、等の半導体製造プロセス関連部品;VTR、テレビ、アイロン、エアコン、ステレオ、掃除機、冷蔵庫、炊飯器、照明器具、等の家庭電気製品部品;ランプリフレクター、ランプホルダー、等の照明器具部品;コンパクトディスク、レーザーディスク、スピーカー、等の音響製品部品;光ケーブル用フェルール、電話機部品、ファクシミリ部品、モデム、等の通信機器部品;分離爪、ヒータホルダー、等の複写機関連部品;インペラー、ファン、歯車、ギヤ、軸受け、モーター部品及びケース、等の機械部品;自動車用機構部品、エンジン部品、エンジンルーム内部品、電装部品、内装部品、等の自動車部品;マイクロ波調理用鍋、耐熱食器、等の調理用器具;床材、壁材などの断熱、防音用材料、梁、柱などの支持材料、屋根材、等の建築資材または土木建築用材料;航空機部品、宇宙機部品、原子炉などの放射線施設部材、海洋施設部材、洗浄用治具、光学機器部品、バルブ類、パイプ類、ノズル類、フィルター類、膜、医療用機器部品及び医療用材料、センサー類部品、サニタリー備品、スポーツ用品、レジャー用品、が挙げられる。

In the present invention, the amount of the urethane resin in the carbon fiber surface-treated with the urethane resin is characterized by being in the range of 0.5 to 5.0% by weight, among which 1.0 to 3.0% by weight. A range is preferable. The amount of the urethane resin can be determined from the weight loss when the urethane resin is dissolved or removed from the carbon fiber surface-treated with the urethane resin. When the amount of the urethane resin is less than 0.5% by weight, the surface treatment of the carbon fiber becomes insufficient, the handleability is inferior, and the compounding into the liquid crystal polyester resin becomes difficult, which is not preferable. Further, if the amount of the urethane resin is more than 5.0% by weight, degradation of the resin composition due to heat and generation of decomposition gas may occur due to decomposition, which may affect the thermal stability of the resin composition. There is not preferable.

Further, the number average fiber length of the carbon fibers is preferably 25 to 6000 μm, and more preferably 30 to 3000 μm. When the number average fiber length is shorter than 25 μm, the reinforcing effect by the carbon fiber is lowered, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the number average fiber length is longer than 6000 μm, the take-up property of the strand becomes unstable during the melt granulation of the composition, and the surface state of a product molded from the obtained resin composition deteriorates.
[0016]
In the resin composition of the present invention, the amount of the carbon fiber surface-treated with the urethane resin is preferably in the range of 5 to 100 parts by weight, more preferably 10 to 70 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the liquid crystal polyester resin. Part. When the amount is more than 100 parts by weight, the biting into the screw becomes worse at the time of pelletization, the plasticization at the time of molding becomes unstable, and further the mechanical strength and appearance of the molded product are lowered. Therefore, it is not preferable. On the other hand, when the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the mechanical strength of the molded product becomes insufficient, which is not preferable.
