A fiber of an LC polyester shows the typical 'woodlike' fracture indicating high modulus and tenacity
Several synthetic strategies for improving the solubility and lowering the melting transitions of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCP) have been developed. In general this can be achieved by structural modification of the fully aromatic building blocks of the polymer chain without sacrificing the chain stiffness. Four important structural modifications can be used for the synthesis of processible, para-like aromatic TLCPs: i) non-coplanar monomers, ii) bulky side groups, iii) the introduction of kinked, bent or crankshaft monomers, and iv) the combination of all these structures in a copolymerization. Non-coplanar monomers (i) such as 2,2'-substituted biphenols, have proven to be especially effective in lowering transition temperatures while preserving maximum chain stiffness. Copolyesters containing this kind of monomers show dramatically decreased transition temperatures and enhanced solubilities compared to unsubstituted polymers. Melting temperature can also be reduced by using derivatives with bulky lateral substituents or flexible side chains. With a combination of such structural modifications in copolymers, it is possible to suppress the crystallinity in TLCPs resulting in materials which preserve the nematic order below the glass transition temperature and form nematic glassy solids
