The synthesis, processing, properties, and characterization of the aromatic polyamides is described in the series of papers from duPont (P.W. Morgan, S.L. Kwolek, J.R. Schaefgen and numerous other authors) that appeared together in Macromolecules, Vol. 10, No. 6, beginning on page 1381 (1977).
For an introductory account of LCP’s including references to more detailed information, see the review article on "Rheology of Rod-like Polymers in the Liquid Crystalline State" by author, J. Rheology 25, 619 (1981). (The bibliography of this paper is appended for reference).
The basic reference for these are P.G. DeGennes, "The Physics of Liquid Crystals", Clarendon Press, Oxford (1974), and S. Chandrasekhar, "Liquid Crystals", Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (1977). The theory of the flow behavior and comparison with experiment are reviewed by F.M. Leslie in "Advances in Liquid Crystals", Vol. 4, 1–81, ed. G.H. Brown, Academic Press, New York 1979. Other useful references to theory are Refs. 14, 22–30, and 39 of Ref. 2 above.
For a review of the development of thermotropic LCP’s and some of their processing and characterization, see G. Calundann and M. Jaffe, Welch Foundation Lecture, Houston, 1982.
The various liquid crystal forms and the textures they exhibit are described in detail with diagrams and with 212 photographs, many in color, in "Textures of Liquid Crystals" by D. Demus and L. Richter, Verlag Chemie, New York, 1978.
