Description

The present invention relates to a method for producing an aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin and an aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin,

A process for producing an aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin and an aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin compound are disclosed. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing an aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resin comprising a step of polymerizing a monomer material comprising a first monomer of a kink structure and a second monomer of a linear structure, and a process for producing an aromatic liquid- An aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resin compound containing a resin is disclosed.

The conventional aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resin has low fluidity when the heat resistance is high, and thus is difficult to be used in the production of thin film molded articles and has a problem in that warpage characteristics are deteriorated at high temperatures.

The resin applicable to the ultra-thin molded article includes repeating units derived from a naphthalene-based monomer as a main skeleton. In the liquid phase polymerization reaction, the viscosity of the reactor is rapidly increased at a temperature of 300 ° C or higher, A phenomenon occurs. Therefore, the polymerization reaction and the discharge of gaseous by-products from the reactor are not smooth, resulting in blisters in the final product (i.e., molded article). In addition, the extrusion processability of the resin compound is deteriorated due to the rapid solidification rate of the resin compound extrudate containing the resin. Therefore, the appearance of the pellets becomes poor, and the mechanical properties of the resin compound and the molded article also deteriorate.

Particularly, even if the amount of by-products remaining in the resin as the final product is small and the heat treatment at a high temperature is carried out, a molded article free from deformation due to warping and blistering can be obtained.

Hereinafter, a process for producing an aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resin according to an embodiment of the present invention and a process for producing an aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resin compound using the aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resin produced by the process will be described in detail.

A method of producing an aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resin according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of polymerizing a monomer raw material comprising a first monomer of a kink structure and a second monomer of a straight structure . As used herein, the term " linear structure "means a structure in which two functional groups (i.e., two carboxyl groups) are arranged so as to minimize the electrostatic force and steric hindrance therebetween, Linear structure ".

The first monomer and the second monomer are not in an isomeric relationship.

The first monomer and the second monomer are aromatic dicarboxylic acids.

The first monomer serves to lower the solidification rate (viscosity increase rate) of the reaction product in the resin synthesis process and the resin compound manufacturing process (particularly, the extrusion process). The lowering of the solidification rate of the reaction product in each of the above steps has the following advantages:

(1) Gaseous by-products such as acetic acid can be smoothly discharged from the reactor, and the amount of by-products remaining in the reaction products (i.e., prepolymer, resin and resin compound) decreases. As a result, the condensation reaction progresses smoothly, the fluidity of the resin and the resin compound increases, and blisters do not occur in the molded article.

(2) The prepolymer synthesized after the prepolymer synthesis can be easily discharged from the reactor.

(3) The crushing operation of the prepolymer for the solid-state polycondensation can proceed easily.

(4) the extrusion of the extrudate of the resin compound formed in the extrusion process is reduced, and the subsequent pelletization process can proceed easily.

(5) It is possible to provide a resin which can be used in the production of an ultra-thin molded article (for example, a long-pin connector) because of its excellent fluidity and low-temperature molding capability.

(6) It is possible to provide a molded article of a resin compound excellent in dimensional stability with less warpage due to thermal deformation even in a high-temperature reflow process at 280 캜 or more.

When the total amount of the acid anhydride is within the above range, the amino group and the hydroxyl group contained in the monomer raw material are sufficiently acetylated. Thus, browning does not occur in the synthesized resin and the unreacted amount of the used acid anhydride is small Removal is facilitated.

The acetylation step may be carried out at 140 to 220 ° C for 60 to 150 minutes.

In addition, whether or not a solidification phenomenon occurred in the production of each of the wholly aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester resins was evaluated, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.

 (1) Method of measuring melt viscosity

The melt viscosity was measured using a melt viscosity measuring apparatus (Rosand, RH2000) under a temperature of 1.0 mm x 32 mm capillary (melting temperature + 10 deg. C) and a shear rate of 1000 / s. Here, the lower the melt viscosity, the higher the fluidity.

(2) Method of measuring crystallization temperature and melting temperature

The melting temperature was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (TA Instruments, Q20). The temperature represented by the observed endothermic peak when the resin or the resin compound sample is heated from 40 ° C to 360 ° C at an elevation temperature of 20 ° C / min is referred to as a primary melting temperature (Tm ₁ ), and a temperature 20 ° C higher than Tm ₁ For 5 minutes, and the temperature at which the observed exothermic peak appeared when cooled to 40 DEG C at a temperature of 10 DEG C / min was recorded as the crystallization temperature. Thereafter, when the temperature was again raised at a rate of 20 ° C / min, the temperature indicated by the observed endothermic peak was recorded as the melting temperature. Here, the lower the melting temperature, the easier the low-temperature molding.

 (3) Evaluation method of resin yield and solidification phenomenon occurrence

The degree of bending of each of the specimens was measured after cooling the specimens to room temperature (25 DEG C). Here, the smaller the degree of warpage after the reflow process, the greater the dimensional stability.
