Abstract
The most unique aspect about the processing of liquid crystalline polymers is that the exceptional physical proprties are found in the as-spun fibers or as-injection molded parts1,2. Although heat treatment leads to improved properties, no further drawing steps are required to generate highly oriented systems. Hence, the orientation which is found in fiber and injection molded specimens must arise during flow and be maintained during the solidification process. The final physical properties must therefore be directly related to the rheological properties of the liquid crystalline fluids.
