Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer Fibers
Super-strength, lightweight materials used in bullet-proof vests, high-performance cables and tires, and stealth airplanes are built from liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) bers. The remarkable strength properties are dominated by molecular alignment achieved as a result of the complex interactions at play in ber processes. The ber manufacturing process begins with a high temperature liquid phase...
متن کاملThermotropic Liquid Crystalline Behavior of an Amphiphilic Polymer Lacking Mesogens
The thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior of a new kind of amphiphilic polymer without mesogens is reported. The existence and structure for the polymeric mesophase are confirmed and characterized by DSC, X-ray diffraction, optical polarized microscopy, and temperature-dependent FTIR. Due to strong interactions between pendent long alkyl chains, we conclude that some hydrophobic semirigid ro...
متن کاملCurrent Advances in the Carbon Nanotube/Thermotropic Main-Chain Liquid Crystalline Polymer Nanocomposites and Their Blends
Because of their extraordinary properties, such as high thermal stability, flame retardant, high chemical resistance and high mechanical strength, thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) have recently gained more attention while being useful for many applications which require chemical inertness and high strength. Due to the recent advance in nanotechnology, TLCPs are usually compounde...
متن کاملRheo-Optical Evidence of a Flow-Induced Isotropic-Nematic Transition in a Thermotropic Liquid-Crystalline Polymer
A direct rheo-optical characterization of the flow-induced isotropic-nematic (I-N) transition in a semiflexible thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymer (TLCP) was investigated, using a specially constructed apparatus enabling in-situ optical microscopic observations at elevated temperatures, along with cone-and-plate rheometry. For the investigation, an aromatic polyester, poly[(phenylenesulfon...
متن کاملA flow - induced phase inversion in immiscible polymer blends containing a liquid - crystalline polymer studied by in situ optical microscopy
The phase inversion from a morphology of hydroxypropylcellulose in water ~HPC50%! droplets in polydimethylsiloxane ~PDMS! matrix to a morphology of PDMS droplets in HPC50% matrix can be induced by a change of shear rate, due to a viscosity ratio inversion. Such a process passing through four different transient morphological stages was studied by optical microscopy in a transparent shear device...
