Synthesis, randomization, and characterization of liquid crystalline copolyesters containing substituted phenylene terephthalate and ethylene terephthalate units for blending studies with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)

The main objective of this dissertation was the synthesis and modification of thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters to be blended with isotropic engineering thermoplastics such as PET. There has been a lot of interest in the last several years in the blending of thermotropic LCPs with enginee...
