Abstract
The miscibility, crystallization and melting behaviour of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) blends were studied using differential scanning calorimetry. The blends were found to form primarily an immiscible system. The addition of LCP accelerated the overall rate of crystallization and caused a depression in equilibrium melting temperature, especially at low LCP content. Lauritzen–Hoffman analysis showed that the addition of LCP caused a reduction in the fold surface energy and increased the regime II to III transition temperature.
