Abstract: Coated carbon nanotubes coated with 0.01-100 parts by weight of at least one type of aromatic condensation polymer selected from the group consisting of wholly aromatic polyamides, wholly aromatic polyesters, aromatic polyester carbonates, aromatic polycarbonates, semi-aromatic polyesters and wholly aromatic azoles, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the carbon nanotubes, as well as a process for their production. Aromatic condensation polymer compositions comprising 0.01-100 parts by weight of the coated carbon nanotubes and 100 parts by weight of an aromatic condensation polymer, and molded articles formed using them.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wholly aromatic polyester carbonate and a process for its production. An aromatic dicarboxylic acid, an aromatic diol, and a diaryl carbonate are used as starting materials in specific molar ratios, a prepolymerization step, a crystallization step, and a solid-phase polymerization step are essential steps, and a compression molding step is an optional step. This makes it possible to produce with good productivity a wholly aromatic polyester carbonate that has low coloration and a high degree of polymerization.
