A molecular composite of rigid-rod poly(p-phenylene benzobisthiazole)
and flexible-coil poly(benzimidazobenzophenantroline) has been prepare
d, characterized, and shown to be thermally stable to at least 300 deg
rees C. These results suggest that stable miscible blends of rodlike a
nd coil-like polymers can be prepared by controlling the glass transit
ion temperature of the flexible-coil polymer. (C) 1995 John Wiley & So
