Liquid Crystalline Polymers as High Performance Fiber and Structural Materials

Liquid Crystalline Polymers as High Performance Fiber and Structural Materials 

With a polymer the condition of processing and thus the morphology has a remarkable effect on the properties of polymeric materials as shown by the above examples. However, the highest tensile strength and modulus are possible only when the polymer molecules are the most extended and assembled in fibril form, and when the chains are aligned along the long
