Abstract
An organic bulk polymer is disclosed having microscopically dispersed therein a liquid crystalline polymer in an amount sufficient to measurably improve the properties of the organic polymer relative to a like bulk polymer in the absence of the liquid crystalline polymer.

An organic bulk polymer having microscopically dispersed therein a liquid crystalline polymer in an amount sufficient to measurably improve the properties of the organic polymer relative to a like bulk polymer in the absence of the liquid crystalline polymer.
An organic bulk polymer having microscopically dispersed therein a polymer of a monomer having ethylenic unsaturation and an internal grouping represented by the structure:
- ##STR15## wherein each D is independently hydrogen or an inert substituent which, when ortho to the --X-- linkage can form a cyclic structure with the --X-- linkage and the aromatic rings, b is a number from about 1 to about 10, and --X-- is a covalent bond or rigid linking unit.
An organic bulk polymer having microscopically dispersed therein a polymer of a monomer represented by the structure ##STR16## wherein R represents an inertly substituted radical having polymerizable unsaturation and R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or an inertly substituted organic radical.
An organic bulk polymer having microscopically dispersed therein a polymer of an ethylenically unsaturated steroid derivative.
