The composites of thennotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters((p-hydroxy benzoic acid)一terephthalic acid-resorcin)(HB-TA-RES)and poly(butylene terephthalate)-poly(tetramethylene glycol)thermoplastic elastomer (PBT-PTMG)with different copolyester content or copolyester composition were prepared by in-situ polycondensation method.The obtained(HB—TA—RES)/PBT-PTMG were characterized by POM

SEM and rheological analysis.Liquid crystalline behavior of the composites was observed when the HB content in copolyester was 40 mol% and copolyester content in composite was 30 wt%~70 wt% or copolyester content in composite was around 50 wt%and HB content in copolyester was 20 mol%~80 mol%.When the copolyester content in composites≤50 wt%or HB content in copolyester≤60 mol%
no obvious phase separation happened.The molecular structure of copolyester in composites was more homogeneous and the crystallization of HB was limited.The good thermal stability of(HB—TA—RES)/PBT-PTMG composites with thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior was obtained as compared with the corresponding homocopolyester and the viscosity of the composites was lower than that of the matrix PBT-PTMG especially when the copolyester content was more than 30 wt%.Good processability of the composite is expected in the application.
