Liquid crystal polymer blends

Two-component blends of polymer liquid crystals with polysulfone or polypro pylene have been investigated. Tensile properties, melt theology and morpho logy of two-component systems have been presented. The orientation conditio ns under melt processing have been related to the phase structure and mecha nical strength of the blends. Enhancement of interfacial adhesion has been attempted by means of compatibilization with the maleated modifiers.
