The aggregate model also has been used with success to describe the mechanical anisoti opy of several liquid crystalline polymers. Ward and co-workers [56] examined the dynamic mechanical behaviour of several thermotropic polyesters in tension and shear over a wide temperature range, and used the single-phase aggregate model to relate quantitatively the fall in tensile modulus with temperature to the corresponding fall in shear modulus.
