Description

Liquid crystal polyester, molding composition composed of same and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high polymer materials, in particular to a liquid crystal polyester, a molding composition composed of the liquid crystal polyester and application of the liquid crystal polyester.
Background
Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Polymer (TLCP) as a high-performance special engineering plastic has excellent mechanical properties, good fluidity, heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, flame retardance and electrical insulation performance, and is widely applied in the fields of electronic and electric appliances, small-sized precise thin-wall parts and the like at present. The preparation method usually adopts a high-temperature melt polymerization method, but due to the self-polymerization of monomers such as HBA and the like or the branching and crosslinking reaction of molecular chains, the melt processability and the physical properties of a final liquid crystal product are poor, particularly the flowability of resin is seriously influenced, so that the liquid crystal polyester molding composition has the conditions of insufficient mold filling and the like in the molding process, and the application of a liquid crystal polymer in thin-walled parts of electronic and electric appliances is seriously influenced.
Researches on inhibition of self-polymerization of HBA and control of occurrence of side reactions such as cross-linking in high temperature polymerization process have been important issues in research and industry, for example, patents CN1673249A, CN 104004170A, CN104098760A and CN104098761A mention that decarboxylation and self-polymerization of HBA are inhibited by adding 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid, water or acetic acid, and the above methods have certain improvement effect on intrinsic viscosity of liquid crystal polymer.
As shown in the above patents, the intrinsic viscosity of the liquid crystal polyester has become a general means in the industry to characterize the relative molecular mass and molecular chain motion characteristics of the liquid crystal polyester, and indirectly reflect the fluidity of the final liquid crystal polyester. However, the difference in intrinsic viscosity is not the only factor affecting the flowability of the polymer. The raw material monomer has different structures or proportions, the degree of self-polymerization of the monomers, the change of molecular weight and molecular chain sequence structure, whether molecular chain segments are uniform or not, the entanglement or branching degree of the molecular chains, the movement capability, the crystallization structure and the speed of the molecular chains, the preparation process and the like all influence the fluidity of the polymer.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is one of the most commonly used thermal analyzers, and is used to characterize the melting and crystallization process of polymers, reflect the relationship between molecular chain structures and crystallization, and directly determine the melting or crystallization behavior of DSC in the process of temperature rise or temperature decrease. The applicant continuously researches and further discovers that the liquid crystal polyester with a specific melting crystallization enthalpy ratio, namely within a double enthalpy ratio range, has a specific molecular chain structure and a specific crystallization state, so that the liquid crystal polyester has excellent processing flowability and mechanical properties.
Disclosure of Invention
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystalline polyester having high flowability, which has a double enthalpy ratio Δ H within a specific range and remarkably improved processing flowability.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a molding composition comprising the above liquid-crystalline polyester.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a liquid crystal polyester comprising repeating structural units represented by the following formulae [ I ] to [ IV ]:
the amount of the structural unit [ I ] derived from parahydroxybenzoic acid is 40mol% or more and 80mol% or less, based on 100mol% of the total amount of the repeating units; the amount of structural units [ II ] derived from 4, 4' -biphenol is 10mol% or more and 30mol% or less; the total amount of the structural unit [ III ] derived from terephthalic acid and the structural unit [ IV ] derived from isophthalic acid is 10mol% or more and 32mol% or less; the ratio of the amount of the structural unit [ II ] to the total molar amount of the structural units [ III ] and [ IV ] is 1:1, wherein the molar ratio of the structural unit [ IV ] derived from isophthalic acid to the structural unit [ III ] derived from terephthalic acid is preferably 0.1 to 0.49, and the sum of the molar percentages of the structural units [ I ], [ II ], [ III ] and [ IV ] is 100%;
wherein, a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) test is adopted, the temperature is increased to the highest temperature of a melting point plus 30 ℃ from room temperature at the temperature rising rate of 20 ℃/min, the temperature is kept for 3min and then is reduced to the room temperature at the rate of 20 ℃/min, a crystallization curve of the liquid crystal polyester is obtained, the crystallization starting temperature and the crystallization finishing temperature of a crystallization peak are selected, and the crystallization peak area is calculated to be H (crystallization enthalpy); after the test sample stays at room temperature for 3min, the temperature is raised to the highest temperature of the melting point plus 30 ℃ at the temperature rise rate of 20 ℃/min again to obtain a second melting curve of the liquid crystal polyester, the melting starting temperature and the melting finishing temperature of a melting peak are selected, and the melting peak area is calculated to be H (melting enthalpy), wherein the liquid crystal polyester meets the condition that the double enthalpy ratio delta H defined by the following formula (1) is more than or equal to 0.1, less than or equal to 0.9, preferably more than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.7;
(1) Δ H = H (melting enthalpy)/H (crystallization enthalpy).
The DSC double enthalpy ratio delta H is the ratio of the melting enthalpy and the crystallization enthalpy of the liquid crystal polyester crystal, and the physical significance of the actual reaction is the relationship between the damage of the liquid crystal polyester crystal structure and the difficulty degree of molecular chain crystallization and the molecular chain structure of the liquid crystal polyester. The crystallization behavior and the crystal melting behavior are closely related to the structural characteristics of the molecular chain, no interaction exists among ideal molecular chains, the molecular chain structure is regular, the internal rotation capacity is high, the flexibility is high, the movement of the molecular chain has no resistance such as friction and the like, the molecular chain moves freely, and the perfect fluidity is shown, so that the molecular chain crystallization capacity is high, and the crystal structure is compactly and regularly stacked. However, in the actual synthesis of liquid crystal polyester, due to the difference in the structure or ratio of the raw material monomers, the degree of self-polymerization of the monomers, the change in molecular weight and molecular chain sequence structure, whether the molecular chain segments are uniform and the molecular chain is regular, the entanglement or branching degree of the molecular chain is high or low, the rotation capacity of the molecular chain is high or low, the motion capacity of the molecular chain, the preparation process and other factors influence the molecular chain structure of the finally prepared liquid crystal polyester to be greatly different, the arrangement and crystallization behavior of the molecular chain and the destructive behavior of the crystal structure are greatly changed, as shown in the melting enthalpy and crystallization enthalpy change of DSC, the enthalpy change has certain fluctuation, and the fluctuation of the enthalpy change just reflects the structural characteristics of the molecular chain and the macroscopic fluidity change of the liquid crystal polyester caused by the fluctuation.
According to the invention, researches show that when the DSC enthalpy ratio delta H of the liquid crystal polyester is more than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 0.9, particularly more than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.7, the self-polymerization segment or molecular chain branching crosslinking of HBA is obviously weakened, the liquid crystal polyester has higher fluidity, the melting characteristic is excellent, the molding stability of a small thin-wall molding product is high, and when the delta H is more than 0.9, the processing fluidity is poor due to the change of the molecular chain structure and the crystallization behavior.
In order to complete the preparation of the high-fluidity liquid crystal polyester, the melt viscosity of the liquid crystal polyester is 10 Pa.s-35 Pa.s, preferably 15 Pa.s-30 Pa.s, and the melt viscosityTesting with capillary rheometer at 0-30 deg.C above melting point and with shear rate of 1000S-1Measured using a die having an inner diameter of 1mm and a length of 40 mm.
The melting point of the liquid crystalline polyester should be as high as possible from the viewpoint of heat resistance, but the melting point of the liquid crystalline polymer of the present invention is 310 ℃ to 390 ℃, preferably 330 ℃ to 380 ℃ from the viewpoint of the heating capacity of the molding equipment at the time of melt processing of the polymer. And the melting point is measured by DSC, the temperature is raised to the highest temperature of the melting point plus 30 ℃ under the condition of the temperature raising rate of 20 ℃/min from the room temperature, the temperature is lowered to the room temperature at the rate of 20 ℃/min after staying for 3min, the temperature is raised to the highest temperature of the melting point plus 30 ℃ again at the temperature raising rate of 20 ℃/min after the test sample stays for 3min at the room temperature, the second melting curve of the liquid crystal polyester is obtained, and the melting peak value of the curve is selected as the melting point.
The content of each structural unit can be calculated by the following method: 500mg of liquid-crystalline polyester or molding composition thereof are metered into a 25ml volumetric flask, 2.5ml of NaOH/CH with a concentration of 5mol/L are added3And adding 10ml of dehydrated dimethyl sulfoxide into the OH solution. Thoroughly hydrolyzing at 60 deg.C under nitrogen atmosphere, shaking for more than 18 hr, dissolving in water, acidifying with hydrochloric acid, and freeze drying. Taking appropriate amount of hydrolysate to NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) tube, performing 1H-NMR measurement, and calculating peak area ratio derived from each structural unit.
The preparation method of the liquid crystal polyester comprises the following steps:
a. under the condition of nitrogen pressurization, taking p-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4' -biphenol, terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid as raw materials, and carrying out acylation reaction under the action of an acylating agent, wherein the pressure is kept between 0.2MPa and 0.6 MPa;
b. after the acylation reaction is finished, reducing the pressure in the reaction kettle to 10KPa-30KPa, quickly discharging acetic acid and unreacted acetic anhydride molecules from the rectification column, when the receiving amount of the acetic acid reaches more than 50% of a theoretical value, quickly heating to 200 ℃ or more, maintaining the reduced pressure condition, raising the temperature of a reaction system program to the highest reaction temperature, further reducing the pressure to 50KPa-100KPa, and carrying out melt polycondensation to obtain a prepolymer;
c. and cooling, solidifying and granulating the prepolymer, and carrying out solid-phase polymerization in a solid-phase polymerization container to obtain liquid crystal polyester particles.
The phenolic hydroxyl group contained in the raw material monomer is preferably acylated with a fatty acid anhydride before melt polycondensation. The fatty acid anhydride is not particularly limited, and any of acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, valeric anhydride, 2-ethylhexanoic anhydride, dichloroacetic anhydride, dibromoacetic anhydride, difluoroacetic anhydride, maleic anhydride, and succinic anhydride may be used, or a mixture of two or more thereof may also be used. From the viewpoint of production cost, acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride or butyric anhydride is preferable, and acetic anhydride is more preferable. The molar ratio of the amount of the fatty acid anhydride to the phenolic hydroxyl groups used is (1 to 1.2): 1, and the amount of the fatty acid anhydride used is preferably 1.02 to 1.10 times by equivalent from the viewpoint of producing low outgassing and solder blister resistance.
The first stage of the preparation method of the liquid crystal polyester is an acylation reaction stage, the phenolic hydroxyl of the main monomer component is subjected to acylation reaction by the acylating agent, and the acylation process is mainly characterized in that, the pressure of the reaction kettle is kept between 0.2MPa and 0.6MPa in the acylation process in a nitrogen pressurization mode, wherein the magnitude of the holding pressure is not particularly limited, but the acylation reaction temperature must be controlled within the acylation temperature range required for the process, the purpose is to ensure that acetic anhydride and acetic acid products are boiled violently by a pressurizing mode, acetic acid is generated by the self-polymerization reaction of the p-hydroxybenzoic acid acylate, the volume of acetic acid gas is increased, whereas an increase in pressure causes the chemical reaction to proceed in the direction of a decrease in gas volume, so that the self-polymerization reaction is moderately suppressed, meanwhile, the boiling acetic anhydride increases the probability of collision with the monomer and ensures the balance of acylation reaction of phenolic hydroxyl. The second stage is an ester exchange polymerization stage, the whole reaction process is a decompression reaction, the vacuum pumping is carried out to reduce the pressure to 10KPa-30KPa, wherein the decompression is realized by pumping by a vacuum pump, the pressure is not particularly limited, but the requirement of the temperature programming rate must be met. After acylation is finished, acetic acid molecules are required to be rapidly discharged to meet the requirement of rapid temperature rise, a large amount of acetic acid molecules are gasified into fog due to nitrogen pressurization in an acylation stage, then, air is pumped out by a vacuum pump for decompression, a large amount of acetic acid and unreacted acetic anhydride are discharged from a reaction kettle, the discharged acetic acid flows into an acetic acid receiving tank under the cooling action of a heat exchanger, when the receiving amount of the acetic acid reaches more than 50% of a theoretical value, the temperature rise rate is increased, the reaction temperature of the reaction kettle is rapidly raised to 200 ℃ or more, and the reaction enters the condensation reaction of an acylation group of a phenolic hydroxyl group and a carboxylic acid group to inhibit self-polymerization of a monomer. In the ester exchange polymerization stage, a decompression mode is adopted, after the reaction temperature reaches the highest reaction temperature, the vacuum degree of the reaction kettle is increased, and then the pressure is further reduced to 50Kpa-100Kpa, so that by-products generated in the reaction, such as phenol and other small molecules, are continuously discharged from the reaction kettle under the decompression effect, the molecular chain rearrangement or branching probability is reduced, and the branching crosslinking reaction of the molecular chain is reduced. The acylation reaction is usually carried out at 100 ℃ to 180 ℃ for 30 minutes to 20 hours, and preferably at 120 ℃ to 160 ℃ for 40 minutes to 5 hours. The melt polycondensation can be carried out under the action of a catalyst, and the catalyst is a conventionally known catalyst for polyester polymerization and can be a metal salt catalyst, such as potassium acetate, sodium acetate, magnesium acetate, zinc acetate, antimony trioxide, tetrabutyl titanate and the like.
The melt polycondensation can be carried out under an inert gas atmosphere; the polycondensation may be carried out in a batch or continuous mode or in a combined mode. After the acylation reaction is finished, heating at the speed of 0.1-150 ℃/min to quickly heat the reaction kettle to 200 ℃ or above, and entering a melt polycondensation stage; the melt polycondensation is carried out at a temperature in the range of 130 to 400 ℃, preferably 160 to 370 ℃, wherein the maximum reaction temperature is more preferably the melting point of the liquid crystalline polyester +30 ℃.
The polymerization vessel used for the melt polycondensation may be a polymerization vessel having a known shape. The vertical polymerization tank is preferably used, and the stirring paddle can be a turbine blade, a double-helix blade or a multi-stage paddle blade, and is preferably a turbine blade.
After the melt polycondensation, the melt viscosity of the prepolymer is preferably 10pa.s or less, from the viewpoint of facilitating the discharge of the prepolymer in a molten state from the polymerization vessel. The melt viscosity is measured by a Dynisco LCR7000 type capillary rheometer, the measurement temperature is more than the melting point by 30 ℃, and the shear rate is 1000S-1Measured using a die having an inner diameter of 1mm and a length of 40 mm.
After the melt polycondensation, the discharge of the prepolymer is preferably carried out under an inert gas atmosphere such as a nitrogen gas atmosphere, that is, by adding an inert gas to the polymerization vessel and increasing the pressure, the occurrence of side reactions can be suppressed while suppressing the increase in the molecular weight of the prepolymer (suppressing the melt viscosity of the prepolymer). The apparatus for discharging the prepolymer in a molten state may be selected from a valve, an extruder and a gear pump, solidify the prepolymer while continuously conveying it in one direction, and may be cut or pulverized downstream in the conveying direction by means of a wire cutter, a sheet cutter or a pulverizer. The prepolymer particles or powder obtained after cutting or crushing are not particularly limited, but preferably 0.1mm to 5 mm.
The acylation reaction and the transesterification polymerization may be carried out continuously in the same reactor or in different reaction vessels.
The solid-phase polymerization is preferably carried out under the conditions that the vacuum degree is 0.1Pa to 50KPa or inert protective gas such as nitrogen is introduced, the polymerization temperature is about 0 to 340 ℃, and the reaction time is 0.5 to 40 hours. The solid-phase polymerization may be carried out in a static state with or without stirring.
A great deal of experimental data according to the invention show that the self-polymerization of the monomers mainly occurs under low temperature conditions, such as temperatures below 200 ℃, while the reactions of branching, crosslinking and the like of the molecular chains are mainly concentrated under high temperature conditions, such as temperatures above 300 ℃; therefore, the optimal preparation process is adopted, and the reaction of the two temperature sections is well controlled, which is the key for controlling the sequence structure arrangement of molecular chains and also the key for ensuring the prepared liquid crystal polyester to have better processing fluidity. The invention adopts the improved preparation process, effectively controls the reaction of each temperature section, and avoids the processing fluidity problem caused by the self-polymerization of the monomer or the branching and crosslinking of the molecular chain. And experimental data is collated to find that the liquid crystal polyester prepared by the process of the invention and the molding composition thereof show higher fluidity when the enthalpy ratio delta H is in a preferred range through DSC to the crystallization enthalpy and the melting enthalpy, but the processing fluidity is deteriorated due to the change of the molecular weight structure and the crystal structure when the enthalpy ratio delta H is higher than the preferred range of the invention.
The adjusted polymerization process is mainly characterized in that the reaction is divided into two stages, the first stage is the acylation stage of the monomer, the pressure maintaining reaction is carried out in the acylation process, and the pressure is kept between 0.2MPa and 0.6 MPa; the second stage is ester exchange polymerization stage, and the whole reaction process is decompression reaction, and the vacuum pumping is carried out until the pressure is reduced to 10KPa-30 KPa. The purpose of the combined pressure and pressure reduction process is to effectively solve the problem of a series of side reactions generated in two reaction temperature ranges, thereby preparing the liquid crystal polyester with excellent processing fluidity and the molding composition thereof.
The invention also provides a liquid crystal polyester molding composition, which comprises 30 to 99.9 weight parts of liquid crystal polyester, 1 to 70 weight parts of reinforcing filler and 0 to 20 weight parts of other additives and/or other polymers; wherein,
the liquid crystal polyester is composed of repeating structural units of the following formulas (I) to (IV):

(1) Δ H = H (melting enthalpy)/H (crystallization enthalpy).
The liquid crystal polyester molding composition of the invention is slightly lower than the fluidity of the resin due to the addition of various fillers, so that the enthalpy ratio delta H of the molding composition is slightly improved, but the comparative test data shows that when the enthalpy ratio delta H of the molding composition is less than 1.0, the processing fluidity of the molding composition is still better than that of the liquid crystal polyester composition in the comparative test.
According to the liquid crystal polyester molding composition, a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) test is adopted, the temperature is increased to the highest temperature of a melting point plus 30 ℃ from room temperature at the temperature rise rate of 20 ℃/min, the temperature is kept for 3min and then is reduced to the room temperature at the rate of 20 ℃/min, a crystallization curve of the liquid crystal polyester molding composition is obtained, the crystallization starting temperature and the crystallization finishing temperature of a crystallization peak are selected, and the crystallization peak area is calculated to be H (crystallization enthalpy); after the test sample stays at room temperature for 3min, the temperature is raised to the highest temperature of the melting point plus 30 ℃ at the temperature rise rate of 20 ℃/min again to obtain a second melting curve of the liquid crystal polyester molding composition, the melting starting temperature and the melting finishing temperature of a melting peak are selected, and the melting peak area is calculated to be H (melting enthalpy), wherein the liquid crystal polyester molding composition meets the double enthalpy ratio delta H defined by the following formula (1) and is more than or equal to 0.2 and less than 1.0, preferably more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.9;
(1) Δ H = H (melting enthalpy)/H (crystallization enthalpy).
