Abstract

The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition of the present invention comprises 100 parts by mass of a fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester; and 50 to 150 parts by mass of titanium oxide, wherein the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester comprises a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (1), a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (2), and a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3), and comprises 65 mole % to 78 mole % of the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (1). wherein X and Y each represent a divalent group having an aromatic ring.

Claims (18)

1. A fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition comprising:

100 parts by mass of a filly-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester; and

50 to 150 parts by mass of titanium oxide, wherein

the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester comprises a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (1), a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (2), and a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3), and comprises 65 mole % to 78 mole % of the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (1), wherein chemical formula (1), (2), and (3) are:

wherein X and Y each represent a divalent group having an aromatic ring.

2. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (2) is a residue of terephthalic acid and/or isophthalic acid, and the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (3) is a residue of 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl.

3. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , comprising at least 0.5 mole % to 17.5 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3-1) as the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (3),

wherein L 3 represents a divalent hydrocarbon group, —SO 2 —, or —CO—.

4. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 3 , wherein the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester comprises at least 5 mole % to 17.5 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (2-1) as the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (2):

5. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 3 , wherein the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester further comprises 2.5 mole % to 17 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3-2) as the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (3):

6. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 3 , wherein the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester comprises at least 0.5 mole % to 15 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3-3) and 2.5 mole % to 17 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3-2) as the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (3):

7. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester is obtained by two-stage polymerization of melt polycondensation and solid phase polycondensation.

8. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a melting point of the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester is 300° C. or more and 380° C. or less.

9. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a complete melting temperature of the composition is 300° C. or more and 380° C. or less.

10. A molded object comprising the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 .

11. An LED reflector comprising the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 1 .

12. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 4 , wherein the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester further comprises 2.5 mole % to 17 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3-2) as the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (3):

13. The fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 4 , wherein the fully-aromatic thermotropic liquid crystal polyester comprises at least 0.5 mole % to 15 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3-3) and 2.5 mole % to 17 mole % of a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (3-2) as the repeating structural unit represented by the formula (3),
