Blends of two thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers, HX2000 and Vectra A950, were prepared by melt blending. Effects of transesterification on these blends are investigated by comparing properties of the blends with and without the addition of an inhibitor, in terms of blend miscibility and rheology. Both the uninhibited and inhibited blends are found to be largely immiscible with very limited miscibility in HX2000-rich phase. No strong evidence indicates the occurrence of transesterification in the blends in the solid state. Dynamic rheological behaviour, such as shear storage modulus (G') and shear loss modulus (G") as a function of frequency, of the blends are interpreted by a three-zone model. HX2000 shows terminal-zone and plateau-zone behaviour, whilst Vectra A950 shows plateau-zone and transition-zone behaviour. The un- inhibited blends show plateau-zone behaviour up to 50% Vectra A950 content and the inhibited blends show plateau-zone behaviour up to 60% Vectra A950 content. Compositional dependence of the complex viscosities of the uninhibited and inhibited blends displayed positive deviations from additivity, which is a characteristic feature for the immiscible thermoplastic blends. When under steady shear, both the uninhibited and inhibited blends show shear thinning behaviour and their viscosities decrease monotonically with the addition of Vectra A950. Compositional dependence of the steady shear viscosities of the two sets of blends displayed negative deviations from additivity and the uninhibited blends were more viscous than the inhibited blends for the full composition range. Although limited agreement with the Cox-Merz rule is found for the inhibited blends, these two sets of blends, in general, do not follow the rule due to their liquid crystalline order and two-phase morphology. Despite being immiscible blends, transesterification, such as polymerization, in the blends might occur during the rheological characterization, supported by the facts that uninhibited blends show HX2000-dominant behaviour at lower Vectra A950 content and are more viscous than the inhibited blends. The addition of transesterification inhibitor in such blends is advised if only physical mixing is desired.ired.

Syntheses and liquid-Crystallinites of thermotropic copoly (ester amide)s were investigated. The three components melt polycondensation of 4,4'-dicarboxy-$\alpha$, $\omega$-diphenoxyalkane as an A component, 4-4'diacetoxybiphenyl as a B, and p-N-acetoxy-aminobenzoic acid as a C gave the thrmotropic copoly(ester amide)s containing a flexible splacer in the polymer backbone. Diacetylated hydroquinone, methyl hydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, and phenyl hydroquinone were used as anther B components. A polymer(6BPAB) having 10 mol% of C component and hexamethylene space. showed a typical nematic texture between $245^{\circ}C(T_m)\; and\; more\; than\; 360^{\circ]C(T_i)$. The melting points of the members of this series of polymers increased with decreasing methylene spacer. The polymer structure and mesomorphic nature were examined by solid and solution ^{13}C-NMR4 spectroscopy, cross polarizing microscopy with a hot stage, and X-ray diffactometry.

Polymer composites based on a thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymer (TLCP) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) were prepared using a melt blending process. Polymer composites consisting of bulk cheap polyester with a small quantity of expensive TLCP are of interest from a commercial perspective. The interactions between the PBT chains and the flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) units in the TLCP phase resulted in an improvement in the compatibility of PBT/TLCP composites. TLCP droplets deformed and fragmented into smaller droplets in the PBT/TLCP composites, which resulted in TLCP fibrillation through the effective deformation of the TLCP droplets. The nucleation activities of the PBT/TLCP composites increased by adding even a small amount of the TLCP component.

비페닐기를 함유하는 새로운 형태의 액정성 폴리우레탄을 신규로 합성한 4,4'-Bis(9-hydroxynonoxy)biphenyl (BP9)와 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,5-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate 및 hexamethylene diisocyanate의 중부가 반응에 의해 합성하였다. 단량체 BP9은 스멕틱상을 형성하였으며 1,4-PDI/BP9을 제외한 나머지 폴리우레탄에서는 모두 액정성을 나타내었다. 합성된 단량체와 중합체들의 구조는 적외선분광분석기 및 핵자기공명분석기를 사용하여 확인하였으며, 그들의 열적 상전이 온도 및 안정성들은 시차주사 열량분석기와 편광현미경으로 조사하였다.

Since the discovery of liquid crystallinity by Reinitzer [1] in 1988 as he studied the melting behavior of cholesteryl benzoate, anisotropic structural ordering in fluid phases has been of considerable interest to chemists, physicists and other scientists. Polymers which exhibit liquid crystallinity either in solution (lyotropic) or in the neat state upon heating (thermotropic) have both theoretical and practical importance [2]. Du Pont's Kevlar, a high modulus polyamide fiber spun from a lyotropic solution, is a prime example of such an application.

Thermotropic polyurethanes were synthesized from 1,6-hexane diisocyanate (HDI) as a diisocyanate, 1,6-hexane diol (HD), and rigid diols containing imide unit such as N,N＇-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4,3＇,4＇-biphenyl-dicarboxyimide (BPDI) or bis-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4＇-oxydiphthalimide (ODPI). The effects of structure difference between BPDI and ODPI and composition of HD/BPDl (ODPI) on the thermal and liquid crystalline behavior were studied. Thermotropic polyurethanes with an inherent viscosity of 0.59~0.70 were obtained. The melting temperature of BPDI-based polyurethanes were in the range of 150~$290^{\circ}C$, however, those of ODPI-based polyurethanes were in the range of 150~$190^{\circ}C$. All the polyurethanes based on ODPI (25~100 mole %) clearly exhibited a stable liquid crystalline phase, and BPDI-based polyurethane having 5-25% of BPDT showed a mesophase. The melting and isotropization temperatures ($T_m$, $T_i$) and ΔT($T_i$ - $T_m$) increased with increasing BPDI and ODPI content. The polyurethanes based on BPDI has higher melting points and thermal stability compared to ODPI-based polyurethanes.

두 종류의 열방성 액정고분자와 세종류의 엔지니어링 고분자와의 블렌드들에 대해 유변학적/형구학적 연구를 한 결과 블렌드의 유동거동과 물성이현저히 다른 두 그룹으로 나 뉘어짐을 발견하였다. 즉 연속상의 조업온도가 분산상의 전이온도보다 높은 그룹A에 속하 는 블렌드의 전단점도/신장점도는 액정고분자를 첨가할수록 첨가할수록 감소하고 블렌드의 신장점도는 연속상의 그것처럼 신장변형률속도가 커질수록 증가하였다. 또한 분산상의 점도 가 연속상의 그것보다 작아서 분산상이 미세섬유구조의 형태로 존재하였다. 이와 대조적으 로 연속상의 조업온도가 액정고분자의 전이온도보다 낮은 그룹 B에 속하는 블렌드는 반대 의 거동을 보였고 분산상의 미세섬유구조가 존재하지 않았다. 그러나 연신변형이 주가 되는 방사공정을 거치면 그룹A와 B블렌드 공히 분산상이 비슷한 미세섬유구조의 형태로 존재하 고 기계적 성질도 크게 향상되는 결과를 보였다. 이는 블렌드내의 신장유동이 분산상의 섬 유구조형상에 결정적 역할을 하기 때문이라 판단된다.

열방성 액정고분자(LCP)와 polycarbonate(PC) poly(ether imide) (PEI) poly(PEEK), polysulfone(PSF), 그리고 polyarylsulfone(PAS)과의 블렌드에 대한 상용성을 연구하였다. 제조된 블렌드의 상거동에서 액정고분자가 PC-, PEI-, PEEK-, PSF-, 그리고 PAS-rich 상 에 녹아 들어가는 양이 PC, PEI, PEEK, PSF, 그리고 PAS가 액정 고분자 -rich상에 녹아들 어가는 양보다 많음을 알수 있었다. 측정된 블렌드의 유리전이온도 결과로부터 PC, PEI, PEEK와 액정고분자 사이의 상용성이 PSF, PAS와 액정 고분자 사이의 상용성에 비하여 더 좋음을 알수 있었다. 액정 고분자의 이방성을 고려하여 고분자-고분자 상호작용계수($\chi$12)를 결정하였으며, PC, PEI, PEEK, PSF, 그리고 PAS를 포함한 액정 고분자 블렌드에서 $\chi$12는 0.078-0.183으로 나타났다.
