| 摘要 |
The present invention is a method for producing a liquid crystalline polyester, which comprises reacting an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid, a diol containing 70 mol% or more of an aromatic diol having a structural unit (I) as shown below and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid with one another in the presence of an acylating agent and an aliphatic sulfonic acid represented by formula (A) shown below. (wherein Ar represents a bivalent aromatic group which is an aromatic hydrocarbon group and has a molecular weight of less than 200) Formula (A) R-SO3H (wherein R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms) According to the present invention, a liquid crystalline polyester, which can be molded into an article having excellent tensile strength and excellent creep properties and from which a gas is generated in a reduced amount, can be produced with high efficiency. |
