Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wholly aromatic thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer and compositions including the liquid crystalline polymer are described. The polymer composition can include the liquid crystalline polymer and a fibrous filler, e.g., a chopped glass or milled glass fibrous filler. The compositions are capable of exhibiting excellent mechanical properties. The liquid crystalline polymer provides desirable characteristics with the incorporation of little or no naphthenic acids in the polymer backbone.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer composition that comprises a melt-polymerized, wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polymer and a fibrous filler, wherein the total amount of repeating units in the liquid crystalline polymer derived from naphthenic acids is no more than about 5 mol. %, wherein the liquid crystalline polymer comprises repeating units derived from isophthalic acid, hydroquinone, and at least one hydroxycarboxylic acid and wherein the pol…
