A novel composite material with an ultra-high strength and a low elastic modulus called carbon-fiber-reinforced liquid crystalline polymer (LCP/CF) has been developed. We studied the effects of an intramedullary LCP/CF rod on bone in rabbits. A LCP/CF rod of 3.2 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length wa

Results of grafting reactions of a liquid crystalline (lc) monomer onto carbon fiber surfaces are presented and compared with results of noncovalently bonded lc polymer, which is proved reproducible by scanning electron microscopy. Electrooptical investigations under a polarizing microscope hints of
