Abstract

The synthesis, rheology, and spinning, as well as the mechanical and morphological properties of high-strength/high-modulus fibres made from lyotropic main chain liquid crystal polymers are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on those polymers that have attained (semi)-commercial status. Quantitative relations observed between the rheological and the spinning parameters, and between the structure and the mechanical properties, are extensively discussed. It is shown that these relations fit theoretical expectations as far as the modulus is concerned. A complete model for the strength of these fibers needs further development. A first attempt to provide a theoretical explanation of the long term properties, like creep and stress relaxation, is presented.
