Abstract
In recent years, many areas of research relating to the development of new and improved commercial products made from liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) and LCP blends have been engineered. LCPs have the ability to form partially ordered melts, and the focus of the research has been to investigate the rheological characteristics of these LCPs and their blends, and to determine how such characteristics affect both the final structure of finished products, and the operational processing requirements. The development of ultra-high modulus and high tensile strength Kevlar fibres by the Du Pont Company during the 1970s [1–5], focused the attention of polymer processing engineers on the potential of LCPs as either commercial materials in their own right, or as unique processing aids for other polymers, and initiated widespread research interest in a range of LCP systems. LCP concepts have now been extended to encompass a large number of homo-polymer and copolymer compositions which exhibit lyotropic or thermotropic behaviour.
