Abstract
The subject of producing polymers with ultra high modulus and strength has recently attracted great interest. New methods that can lead to enhancement in the molecular orientation and chain extension were found, thereby giving better mechanical properties. Methods like solid–state polymerization of single crystals of monomers, high pressure extrusion of solid polymers1, solidification of polymers exhibiting liquid crystalline behavior, prevention of chain back folding by zone drawing techniques2–5, subsequent hot drawing of spun gels6-8, and crystallization of polymers in elongational flow fields9,10 are methods to achieve high modulus and high strength polymers.
