Abstract
Two series of thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters were studied in static and dynamic tensile deformation. Static loading generally does not lead to any peculiar phenomena: the stress-strain diagrams are linear or convex, except one copolyester fibre, the stress-strain diagram of which is concave at high temperatures. On the contrary, in dynamic loading the elasticity modulus increased during deformation for all the samples investigated. So it can be assumed that formation of a more rigid and stable structure takes place due to the dynamic deformation.
