We have determined the surface energies (โฅ s ) of two liquid crystalline polyesters (Vectraโข A-950 [Hoechst Celanese, NJ] and Xydarโข [Amoco, GA]) and one polyesteramide (Vectraโข B-950 [Hoechst Celanese, NJ]) using contact angle techniques at room temperature.

Abstract
Thermotropic behaviour is observed in a number of aromatic polyesteramides containing pโphenylene or substituted pโphenylene groups. In such polymers, a substantial proportion of coโpolymerised units lacking rigid rod structure can be tolerated without loss of thermotropic behaviour. Anisotropic melts can be formed at very short average chain length. The upper temperature limit of stability of the anisotropic phase is lower the shorter the average chain length and the greater the proportion of relatively flexible units. Some polyesteramides formally derived from pโNโmethylaminophenol also exhibit thermotropic behaviour.
