The present invention relates to a resin molded article containing a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin which is capable of reducing the dielectric loss tangent by heat treatment, and more particularly to a resin molded article containing a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin having a particularly low dielectric loss tangent and an electrical and electronic component comprising the molded article.
In recent years, along with the increasing amount of information and telecommunication in the communication field, signals having frequencies in the high-frequency band are used more in electronic equipment, telecommunication equipment, and the like, and in particular, active use is made to signals having frequencies in the gigahertz (GHz) band in which the frequency is 109 Hz or more. For example, a high frequency band of the GHz band is used in the automobile field. Specifically, millimeter-wave radars and quasi-millimeter-wave radars which are mounted for the purpose of preventing collisions of automobiles use high frequencies of 76 to 79 GHz and 24 GHz, respectively, and their use is expected to further increase in the future.
However, as the frequency of the signal to be used becomes higher, the quality of the output signal deteriorates, which may cause misrecognition of information, that is, the transmission loss becomes larger. This transmission loss consists of a conductor loss caused by a conductor and a dielectric loss caused by an insulating resin constituting the electrical and electronic component such as a substrate in an electronic device or a telecommunication device, and since the conductor loss is proportional to 0.5 power of the frequency used and the dielectric loss is proportional to 1 power of the frequency, the influence of the dielectric loss becomes extremely large in the high frequency band, particularly in the GHz band. Since the dielectric loss also increases in proportion to the dielectric loss tangent of the resin, a resin having a low dielectric loss tangent property is required to prevent deterioration of information.
To solve the above problem, Patent Document 1 proposes a liquid crystalline aromatic polyester comprising two or more structural units derived from p- or m-hydroxybenzoic acid and structural units derived from hydroxynaphthoic acid as a liquid crystalline aromatic polyester exhibiting a low dielectric loss tangent in the high frequency band.
Resins constituting the electrical and electronic component are required to have high heat resistance to heating during molding, and resin molded articles such as films formed using the resins are required to have high heat resistance to heat processing by means of solder or the like. Therefore, for example, Patent Document 2 proposes improving heat resistance by adjusting the crystallinity and density of the film by heat treatment of the film.
In recent years, the amount of information and telecommunication has been rapidly increasing and higher frequency of signals has been used more, thus there is a need for a resin having an even lower dielectric loss tangent in the high frequency band. The present inventors have found that the use of polyester resin proposed in Patent Document 1 does not exhibit a sufficiently low dielectric loss tangent required in the high frequency band. Further, although the heat treatment of the film has conventionally been aimed at improving heat resistance as in Patent Document 2, the present inventors have found that the dielectric properties can be greatly improved by heat treatment when the resin satisfies a specific condition.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a resin molded article comprising a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin having a remarkably low dielectric loss tangent and high heat resistance even in the high frequency band.
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present inventors have found that a resin molded article having a remarkably low dielectric loss tangent can be obtained, when the resin molded article which comprises a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin and is formed by being subjected to heat treatment has the enthalpy change Δ H1 at the transition temperature from the crystal phase to the liquid crystal phase in the first cycle (hereinafter referred to as “melting point”) and the enthalpy change Δ H2 at the melting point in the second cycle during the temperature elevation process measured by a differential scanning calorimeter satisfying a specific relationship. The present invention has been completed based on such finding.
That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a resin molded article comprising a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin and formed by being subjected to heat treatment, wherein
the enthalpy change Δ H1 at the melting point of the first cycle and the enthalpy change Δ H2 at the melting point of the second cycle of the temperature elevation process measured by a differential scanning calorimeter satisfy Δ H1/Δ H1≥2.0, and
the dielectric loss tangent measured by the SPDR method at a measurement frequency of 10 GHz is 0.85×10−3 or less.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the enthalpy change Δ H1 at the melting point in the first cycle of the temperature elevation process measured by a differential scanning calorimeter is preferably 3.5 J/g or more.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin preferably contains three or more structural units.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin preferably comprises 10 mol % or more of structural unit (I) derived from 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid with respect to the structural unit of the entire wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin preferably further comprises structural unit (II) derived from an aromatic diol compound and structural unit (III) derived from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin preferably further comprises structural unit (IV) derived from p-hydroxybenzoic acid.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an electrical and electronic component comprising the resin molded article.
According to the present invention, the enthalpy change Δ H1 at the melting point of the first cycle and the enthalpy change Δ H2 at the melting point of the melting point of the second cycle in the temperature elevation process measured by a differential scanning calorimeter satisfying a specific relationship make it possible to realize a resin molded article comprising a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin having an excellent heat resistance while having an extremely low dielectric loss tangent.
The resin molded article of the present invention comprises the following wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin and is subjected to heat treatment (annealing). Appropriate heat treatment of the resin molded article improves the crystallinity of the polymer and accordingly, heat resistance of the molded article can be improved. The elevation degree in crystallinity of the molded article can be evaluated by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). For example, the enthalpy change Δ H1 at the melting point of the first cycle of the temperature elevation process indicates the degree of crystallinity obtained by heat treatment. Since the melting point of the second cycle after once melted corresponds to the phase transition phenomenon of the bulk state in which the heat treatment history of the resin has been removed, the elevation degree in Δ H1 with respect to the enthalpy change Δ H2 at this point (Δ H1/Δ H2) is an index of the elevation degree in crystallinity in the evaluation portion of the molded article.
In the present invention, by adjusting ΔH1/Δ H2 within a specific numerical range by heat treatment of the resin molded article, surprisingly, it is possible to realize an extremely low dielectric loss tangent even in the high frequency band.
In the resin molded article, the enthalpy change Δ H1 at the melting point of the first cycle and an enthalpy change Δ H2 at the melting point of the second cycle of the temperature elevation process measured by a differential scanning calorimeter satisfy Δ H1/Δ H2≥2.0, preferably satisfy Δ H1/Δ H2≥2.5, more preferably satisfy Δ H1/Δ H2≥3.0, still more preferably satisfy Δ H1/Δ H2≥4.0, and still more preferably satisfy Δ H1/Δ H2≥5.0. When the resin molded article have Δ H1/Δ H2≥2.0, it can be said the improvement of crystallinity is significantly higher than that in the state before the heat treatment, and accordingly, the dielectric loss tangent is reduced because the molecular vibration can be suppressed in the entire material.
In the resin molded article, the enthalpy change Δ H1 at the melting point in the first cycle of the temperature elevation process as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter is preferably 3.5 J/g or more, more preferably 4 J/g or more, still preferably 5 J/g or more, still more preferably 7 J/g or more, and particularly preferably 8 J/g or more. When Δ H1 is 3.5 J/g or more, the resin molded article can be said to have a high crystallinity in an absolute value as a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin, and thus it is possible to realize a reduction in the dielectric loss tangent.
In the present specification, the measurement conditions of the differential scanning calorimeter are in 2 cycles, including a process of elevating the temperature from 30° C. to 360-380° C. at a temperature elevation rate of 10° C./min in a nitrogen atmosphere and a process of lowering the temperature from 360-380° C. to 30° C. at a temperature falling rate of 10° C./min as 1 cycle.
The enthalpy change Δ H1 at the melting point can be adjusted by changing the polymerization conditions (temperature and time) of the polymerization reaction in the manufacturing method of the wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin described in details below and the conditions of heat treatment (annealing) of the molded article in the manufacturing method of the resin molded article described in details below.
From the viewpoint of heat resistance in actual use, the melting point of the resin molded article has a lower limit of 290° C. or higher, more preferably 295° C. or higher, still preferably 300° C. or higher, still more preferably 310° C. or higher, and the upper limit for molding of preferably 370° C. or lower, more preferably 360° C. or lower, and still preferably 350° C. or lower. When the melting point of the resin molded article according to the present invention is within the above-described numerical range, the resin molded article is excellent in heat resistance and workability, and heat resistance and dielectric loss tangent can be improved advantageously by heat treatment. Note that, in the present specification, the melting point of the resin-molded article was determined in accordance with the test methods of ISO11357, ASTM D3418, which can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Co., Ltd., and was defined as the temperature (° C.) of the vertex (Tm2) of the heat absorption peak associated with the transition from the crystalline phase to the liquid crystalline phase in the second cycle of the temperature elevation process measured by DSC.
The dielectric loss tangent (measurement frequency: 10 GHz) of the resin molded article after heat treatment measured by the SPQR method is 0.85×10−3 or less, preferably 0.80×10−3 or less, more preferably 0.75×10−3 or less, and still preferably 0.70×10−3 or less.

The dielectric loss tangent (measurement frequency: 81 GHz) of the resin molded article after the heat treatment at 25° C. measured by a cylindrical cavity resonator method is 3.0×10 or less, preferably 2.5×10−3 or less, and more preferably 2.0×10−3 or less.
The resin molded article after heat treatment has a dielectric loss tangent (measurement frequency: 34 GHz) at 30° C. and 100° C. of preferably 2.0×10−3 or less and 3.0×10−3 or less, more preferably 1.5×10−3 or less and 2.5×10−3 or less, and still more preferably 1.0×10−3 or less and 2.0×10−3 or less, respectively.
Further, with respect to the resin molded article after heat treatment, the change rate of the dielectric loss tangent from 30° C. to 100° C. at a measurement frequency of 34 GHz is preferably 2.5×10−5/° C. or less, more preferably 2.0×10−5/° C. or less, and still preferably 1.5×10−5/° C. or less. The small change rate of the dielectric loss tangent dependent of the temperature makes it possible to stably exhibit physical properties according to the design even when the temperature changes during the use of the material. Therefore, contribution can be made to the operation stability of the device in which the material is used in each environment.
Note that, in the present specification, the dielectric loss tangent of wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polyester resin at 10 GHz can be measured by a split-post dielectric resonator method (SPDR method) using network analyzer N5247A of Keysight Technologies, or the like.
