Synthetic fibres based on liquid crystalline polymers can be divided into three main categories: aromatic polyamides, aromatic heterocycles and aromatic copolyesters. In this chapter, commercially available liquid crystalline fibres are described in terms of their polymer synthesis, production techniques (fibre spinning, heat treatments) and final properties (thermal, mechanical, chemical and environmental stabilities). Finally some industrially relevant applications of liquid crystalline synthetic fibres are presented.

Abstract
Synthetic fibres based on liquid crystalline polymers can be divided into three main categories: aromatic polyamides, aromatic heterocycles and aromatic copolyesters. In this chapter, commercially available liquid crystalline fibres are described in terms of their polymer synthesis, production techniques (fibre spinning, heat treatments) and final properties (thermal, mechanical, chemical and environmental stabilities). Finally some industrially relevant applications of liquid crystalline synthetic fibres are presented.File in questo prodotto:
