Abstract
A process for making a polymer with ultra-high mechanical properties by subjecting to compression and rotation in a contained geometry at a viscosity in the range of from 50 to 10.sup.4 poise an aromatic liquid crystalline copolyester.
Claims4
A process for forming a polymer of ultra-high mechanical properties, said process comprising the improvement of subjecting an aromatic liquid crystalline copolyester to a compressive force and a rotational force perpendicular to the compressive force in a contained geometry while the copolyester is within the range of from 50 to 10.sup.4 poise in melt viscosity.
