Abstract
Abstract PCT No. PCT/JP85/00094 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 31, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 31, 1985 PCT Filed Feb. 28, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO85/03941 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1985.A process for producing a melting-anisotropic copolymerized polyester containing an alkylene terephthalate component, which comprises reacting a starting polyester composed of a dicarboxylic acid and a diol with an oxyaromatic carboxylic acid to form a copolymerized oligomer, then conducting acylating reaction by the addition of an acylating agent and further conducting polycondensating reduction thereby producing a melting-anisotropic, copolymerized polyester having a logarithmic viscosity of at least 0.2 dl/g. According to this process, a polyester of excellent physical property can be obtained at a good production efficiency.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A process for producing a melting-anisotropic, copolymerized polyester containing an alkylene terephthalate component, which comprises reacting 95 to 5 mol % of a starting polyester composed of a dicarboxylic acid and a diol having of recurring units represented by the general formula: ##STR6## where R 1 represents a divalent aromatic radical of 6 to 20 carbon atoms or a divalent cycloaliphatic radical of 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 2 represents a divalent aliphatic radical of 2 to 20 carbon atoms, with from 5 to 95 mol % of an oxyaromatic carboxylic acid represented by the general formula: ##STR7## where R 3 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl or alkoxy group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms to form a copolymerized oligomer, then conducting acylating reaction by the addition of an acylating agent and, further conducting polycondensating reaction in order to increase the logarithmic viscosity thereby producing a copolymerized polyester having a logarithmic viscosity of at least 0.2 dl/g.
