Abstract
A thermotropic copolyester, having a nematic structure of the liquid-crystalline phase within a desired range of mesophase temperature, contains units derived from a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-dihydroxy-biphenyl and p-hydroxybenzoic acid, in a mutual ratio of from 1:1:0.5 to 1:1:8. This thermotropic copolyester is produced by copolymerizing in the molten state a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-diacyloxybiphenyl and p-acyloxybenzoic acid. The use is disclosed of the thermotropic copolyester as a self-reinforced material, and as a reinforcer material for such traditional thermoplastic polymers as polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate and nylon.
