Abstract
A process for coagulating a polybenzazole film which includes contacting a lyotropic polybenzazole dope film that is constrained in at least two directions with a coagulant under conditions such that the polybenzazole polymer separates as a gelled moiety with the structure set such that further removal of solvent will result in no more than a 5% increase in the force necessary to constrain the film.
