  • Publication number: 20180346642
    Abstract: A liquid crystal polyester composition which includes liquid crystal polyester and a plate-like inorganic filler is provided. The ratio of signal strength of iron with respect to signal strength of silicon in the plate-like inorganic filler is 1 to 2.5, in a case where a signal of a component included in the plate-like inorganic filler is detected and strength of the signal is acquired for each component by X-ray fluorometry. A molded body obtained by molding the liquid crystal polyester composition and a connector obtained by molding the liquid crystal polyester composition are also provided. The molded body has high bending strength.

  • Publication number: 20180346641
    Abstract: A liquid crystal polyester composition which includes liquid crystal polyester and a plate-like inorganic filler is provided. In a case where 10 grams of the plate-like inorganic filler is mixed with 90 mL of ion exchange water having a pH of 7.0 to prepare an aqueous dispersion, the pH of a solution portion of the aqueous dispersion is 7.0 to 9.0. A particle diameter D90 of the plate-like inorganic filler is 20 to 140 ?m. A molded body and connector can be obtained by molding the liquid crystal polyester composition. The liquid crystal polyester composition provides a molded body on which a blister is hardly generated under high temperature conditions.

  • Patent number: 9994771
    Abstract: A liquid crystal polyester resin composition usable for molding a connector improved in dimensional stability is provided having a liquid crystal polyester and a platy inorganic filler. The platy inorganic filler has a primary particle having a ratio of particle diameter to thickness of 8 to 200, and the platy inorganic filler is contained in an amount of 50 to 250 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the liquid crystal polyester. A connector molded from the liquid crystal polyester resin composition is also provided. A method for producing a liquid crystal polyester resin composition includes a step of melt-kneading 100 parts by mass of a liquid crystal polyester with 50 to 250 parts by mass of a platy inorganic filler, the platy inorganic filler having a primary particle which has a ratio of particle diameter to thickness of 8 to 200.
