Rodrun 5000/Vectra B950 blends were obtained by direct injection moulding a
t two injections rates. The blends were partially miscible and unreacted un
der the processing conditions used. Higher orientations and properties were
obtained at the lower injection rate due to the higher overall orientation
obtained. The produced orientation and the negative volume of mixing of th
e blends led to a range of LCP materials with intermediate modulus and tens
ile strength and slightly higher ductility. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
