Using a novel thin-film polymerization technique, we have investigated in situ uncatalyzed and catalyzed polycondensation reaction systems for 73/27 (mol ratio) poly(p-oxybenzoate/2,6-oxynaphthoate) [P(OBA/ONA)] thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyester. We have also determined the effect of catal

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Extrusion rheometry experiments with a commercial thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyester show concave Bagley plots and convex pressure profiles. A loss of the orientation produced at the entrance of the capillary and the slit can explain these non‐linearities. Assuming that the order parameter, S, relaxes exponentially with time, the Doi‐Edwards model for the shear flow of rod‐like polymers is used to adjust experimental data.

## Abstract Thermotropic liquid crystalline random copolyesters, based on terephthalic acid and substituted hydroquinones, display an unusually large heat for the crystal‐nematic transition; this phenomenon is related to their highly ordered structures. To modify the structures, annealing was carri
In previous work, a process was developed to reclaim a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (DuPont HX8000) from composites comprised of polypropylene (PP) reinforced with HX8000. The reclamation was accomplished by chemically degrading the PP and then dissolving the PP away in heated mineral oil
