Abstract
Blends of liquid crystalline polyesters with liquid crystalline polyes ters and a semi-crystalline aromatic polyester, poly(butylene terephth alate) (PBT), have been investigated. Blends were prepared by the diss olution/co-precipitation method and by melt-mixing in the mesophase; t hey were characterized by optical microscopy, d.s.c., small-angle lase r light scattering and X-ray diffraction. Liquid crystalline polyester s which only differ in the length of the flexible spacers show complet e miscibility. For PBT/liquid crystalline polyester blends, the experi mental results indicate the occurrence of partial miscibility.
