Modulus super-high

Catalloy can range from soft elastomeric, to super high-impact products, from low to high modulus polymers. 

Aramid fiber (lyotropic LCP) is known as a super high modulus fiber. Recently, a fiber of thermotropic LCP has been introduced. This fiber is made by polyester and exhibits high modulus as that of aramid. (Table 5)... 

SAF - Super abrasion furnace, ISAF - Intermediate super abrasion HAF - High abrasion furnace, FEF - Fast extmsion furnace SRF - Semi reinforcing furnace HS - High structure, LS - low structure, HM - High modulus ... 

Mesophase materials of linear, flexible macromolecules have gained attention only more recently, when it was found that parallel molecular orientation is easily achieved in some of these mesophases. This orientation can lead to high modulus and tensile strength 6). Presently there exists a certain amount of confusion in the literature about the description, properties, and nomenclature of these macromolecular mesophases and their place in the arrangement of all matter. Even for the better understood small-molecule mesophases there are some problems in the description of glasses and in the separation of orientational and conformational disorder. Also, the distinction between mesophases based on molecular structure and on super-molecular structure is not always made. We will try in this review to clarify some of these points.
