Abstract
Preparation of high strength fibers and other uniaxial materials from main chain thermotropic polyesters is discussed. Critical factors for heatstrengthening of fibers are reviewed, including retention of orientation developed in spinning and post-polymerization (including use of accelerators). Novel resinless uniaxial composites, laminates, and pultruded shapes of high strength/ stiffness prepared from fibers are also discussed.
