Abstract
Multi-functional comonomer from pentaerythritol (PE) and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) was synthesized and used for polymerization of poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) copolymer. PBO copolymer fibers were prepared from PBO copolymers using a dry-jet wet spinning. The tensile strength of PBO copolymer fibers was higher than that of PBO, and showed 42 % increase at 0.5 mol% loading of comonomer. The tensile modulus of PBO copolymer fiber at 0.5 mol% loading showed 192 % increase compared to PBO fiber. The compressive strength of PBO copolymer fiber had values between 0.46 GPa and 0.6 GPa with the comonomer content. 64-114 % increase in compressive strength of PBO copolymer fibers was observed compared to PBO fiber.
