A thermoplastic polyester resin includes a residue of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof and a residue of a diol or an ester-forming derivative thereof, as main structural units, wherein the thermoplastic polyester resin has a hydroxy group concentration of 0.050 mmol/g or less. The use of such a thermoplastic polyester resin enables production of a molded article having excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance, and a reduced dielectric loss tangent at a high frequency of 1 GHz or more.

Thermoplastic polyester resin, thermoplastic polyester resin composition and molded article

Provided is a thermoplastic polyester resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of (A) a non-liquid crystal thermoplastic polyester resin, 45 to 150 parts by weight of (B) a thermoplastic resin that is different from the non-liquid crystal thermoplastic polyester resin and has a dielectric loss tangent of not more than 0.005 when measured at a frequency of 5.8 GHz by the cavity resonance perturbation method, 2 to 20 parts by weight of (C) a compatibilizer having at least one reactive functional group selected from epoxy, acid anhydride, oxazoline, isocyanate, and carbodiimide groups, and 0.2 to 5 parts by weight of (D) at least one compound selected from tertiary amines, amidine compounds, organic phosphines and salts thereof, imidazoles, and boron compounds, wherein the ratio of the sum of the thermoplastic resin (B) and the compatibilizer (C) is in the range of 50 to 150 parts by weight and the weight ratio (B)/(C) of the thermoplastic resin (B) to the compatibilizer (C) is in the range of 8 to 50. The thermoplastic polyester resin composition can be molded into an article with low dielectric properties, excellent mechanical properties, and high bondability to metals.

Thermoplastic polyester resin composition and molded article

A thermoplastic polyester resin composition includes a thermoplastic polyester resin (A), an epoxy compound (B) having an epoxy equivalent of from 200 to 3,000 g/eq, and a hydroxy group-containing resin (C) having a number average molecular weight of from 2,000 to 500,000 and a halogen element content of 1,000 ppm or less, wherein the epoxy compound (B) is blended in an amount of from 0.05 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight in total of 70 to 99.9 parts by weight of the thermoplastic polyester resin (A) and 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of the hydroxy group-containing resin (C). The thermoplastic resin composition and a molded article achieve both long-term hydrolysis resistance and heat aging resistance at a high level, and can further suppress bleed-out to the surface of the molded article during heat-dry and heat-moisture treatments.

A thermoplastic polyester resin composition includes 0.05 to 10 parts by weight of an epoxy compound (B) and 0.001 to 1 part by weight of a hindered amine compound (C) with respect to 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic polyester resin (A) having an amount of carboxyl groups of 50 eq/t or less. The thermoplastic polyester resin composition is capable of producing a molded article which is excellent in mechanical properties and heat resistance, as well as in long-term hydrolysis resistance, and has a small decrease in mechanical properties and hydrolysis resistance even when melt-processed at a high temperature of 270&#xb0; C. or more.

A thermoplastic polyester resin composition is obtained by blending, per 100 parts by weight of (A) a thermoplastic polyester resin, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of (B) a novolac type epoxy resin having a specific structure, and 0.05 to 10 parts by weight of (C) an epoxy compound having two epoxy functional groups per molecule. Thus, a molded article that exhibits superior melt stability with respect to a wide range of processing temperatures, has excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance, and exhibits superior long-term hydrolysis resistance, chemical resistance, and oxidative deterioration resistance can be obtained.
