Abstract
Liquid crystalline copolyesters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and 6-hydroxy -2-naphthoic acid, with compositions 20/80 and 24/76, were studied in order to evaluate the effect of higher melting HBA/HNA copolyesters on the high temperature adhesive properties compared with data for the r ecently reported 73/27 system. A tetramer of HBA/HNA with a compositio n of 24/76 was synthesized to examine the effect on adhesion of wettin g of the substrate at much lower temperatures. From the results of thi s study it is now possible to define approaches for achieving very goo d adhesion characteristics at temperatures well in excess of 250-degre es-C.
