Direct imaging of deformation and disorder in extended-chain polymers
The rigid-rod polymers poly(paraphenylne benzobisthiazole) (PBZT) and poly(paraphenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBZO) can be spun from lyotropic liquid-crystalline solutions into solid fibers with extraordinary mechanical properties. However, these fibers are comparatively weak in compression, with defor...
