Overview
This volume explores the creation, study, and processing of new liquid-crystalline polymers. It covers not only the chemistry of liquid-crystalline polymers, but also the physics and engineering aspects of these materials. A wide range of topics is covered, including syntheses of main-chain and side-chain LCPs, structural characterization of LP, rheology and processing, and applications such a electro-optics and "self-reinforcing" blends. This book presents a broad view of the direction of LCP research in both industry and academe.

Drawn from a symposium at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Miami Beach, September 1989, the 32 papers explore the chemistry, physics, and engineering applications of liquid-crystalline polymers, describing the synthesis, properties, and uses of a variety of compounds. Theoretical topics such as static and dynamic theories for backbone, side-chain, and combined species, are balanced by practical descriptions of synthesis and property analysis. Other chapters examine attributes ranging from molecular motion to shrinkage in molded parts, novel composites of liquid-crystalline with engineering polymers, and other topics. Annotation c.
