Abstract
A family of melt processable, wholly-aromatic thermotropic liquid crys tal copolyesters are prepared, which are characterized by Fourier tran sform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and pol arized optical microscopy. The copolyesters exhibit broad nematic-meso phase temperature ranges without isotropic transitions and excellent t hermal stability. The kinetics of melt polycondensation of the copolye sters is also investigated.
