Abstract
Rigid rod epoxy compounds can be cured in liquid crystalline structure . The so obtained networks exhibit better mechanical properties with r espect to the isotropic ones. The mesogenic character of the epoxy com pounds appears more crucial than the molecular geometry of the curing agent in developing liquid crystallinity. The curing temperature plays an important role in affecting the state of order of the thermosets.
