Process for producing thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer

Abstract

A process for producing a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer having a flow beginning temperature of 340° C. or more comprising raising the temperature of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer from 200° C. or less to raising end temperature (A° C.) of (FT0+50)° C. or more in substantially solid phase condition, wherein the thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer has a flow beginning temperature (FT0) of 200° C. or more and 300° C. or less, and in a step of raising the resin temperature (t) from (FT0+20)° C. to (FT0+50)° C. (step (1)), the average raising speed of the resin temperature is from over 0.1° C./min. to less than 0.5° C./min. and the flow beginning temperature of the thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer at each resin temperature is (t−10)° C. or more and (t+40)° C. or less.
