Abstract

A liquid crystal polyester resin for laminate, wherein, in a molecular weight distribution of an absolute molecular weight measured by a gel permeation chromatograph/light scattering method, an area fraction of a portion having an absolute molecular weight of 10,000 or less is 10 to 40%, and an area fraction of a portion having an absolute molecular weight of 50,000 or more is 3 to 20%, relative to 100% of the total peak area.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A liquid crystal polyester resin for laminate, wherein, in a molecular weight distribution of an absolute molecular weight measured by a gel permeation chromato-graph/light scattering method, an area fraction of a portion having an absolute molecular weight of 10,000 or less is 10 to 40%, and an area fraction of a portion having an absolute molecular weight of 50,000 or more is 3 to 20%, relative to 100% of the total peak area,
wherein the liquid crystal polyester resin includes 3 to 40 mol % of a structural unit derived from an aliphatic diol having 2 to 4 carbon atoms relative to 100 mol % of the total structural unit of the liquid crystal polyester resin.

2. The liquid crystal polyester resin according to claim 1 , wherein the total of a structural unit derived from an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid and a structural unit derived from terephthalic acid is 60 to 100 mol % relative to 100 mol % of the total structural unit of the liquid crystal polyester resin.

3. The liquid crystal polyester resin according to claim 1 , including 15 to 80 mol % of a structural unit derived from an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid, 3 to 20 mol % of a structural unit derived from an aromatic diol and 7 to 40 mol % of a structural unit derived from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, relative to 100 mol % of the total structural unit of the liquid crystal polyester resin.

4. A liquid crystal polyester resin composition comprising the liquid crystal polyester resin according to claim 1 and a solvent, wherein 100 to 10,000 parts by weight of the solvent is included relative to 100 parts by weight of the liquid crystal polyester resin.

5. The liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 4 , wherein the solvent includes 50 to 3,000 parts by weight of a phenol (A) in which three or more hydrogen atoms bonded to the benzene ring are substituted with fluorine atoms, and 1 to 1,500 parts by weight of a protic solvent (B) having a melting point of 30° C. or lower and an acid dissociation constant (pKa) of 4 to 12, relative to 100 parts by weight of the liquid crystal polyester resin.

6. The liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 5 , wherein the protic solvent (B) is phenols.

7. The liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 5 , wherein the protic solvent (B) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of o-fluorophenol, m-fluorophenol, o-chlorophenol, o-bromophenol, 4-chloro-2-fluorophenol, 2-chloro-4-fluorophenol and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenol.

8. The liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 4 , which is liquid at the temperature of 100° C. or lower.

9. A method of producing a laminate comprising applying the liquid crystal polyester resin composition according to claim 4 onto a support and removing the solvent.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the support is a metal foil.

11. A method of producing a liquid crystal polyester resin film comprising removing the support from the laminate obtained by the method according to claim 9 to obtain a liquid crystal polyester resin film.

12. A liquid crystal polyester resin film comprising the liquid crystal polyester resin according to claim 1 .

13. A laminate comprising a support and a resin layer that are mutually laminated, wherein the support is laminated on at least one surface of the resin layer made of the liquid crystal polyester resin according to claim 1 .

14. The laminate according to claim 13 , wherein the support is a metal foil.
