Abstract

AbstractDynamic tensile and shear moduli measurements have been carried out on highly oriented thermotropic liquid crystalline copolymers formed by random copolymerization of 2‐hydroxy‐6‐naphthoic acid, terephthalic acid and p‐aminophenol. This liquid crystalline copolymer is known as HNATA. Application of the aggregate model of units of structure gives rise to an estimation of the orientation angle θ = 5° and a chain modulus Ec = 230 GPa. The fall in tensile modulus with increasing temperature is related to two factors: a decrease in the intrinsic chain modulus and a reduction in the shear modulus.
