Notes:
Dynamic tensile and shear moduli measurements have been carried out on highly oriented thermotropic liquid crystalline copolymers formed by random copolymerization of 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid, terephthalic acid and p-aminophenol. This liquid crystalline copolymer is known as HNATA. Application of the aggregate model of units of structure gives rise to an estimation of the orientation angle θ = 5° and a chain modulus Ec = 230 GPa. The fall in tensile modulus with increasing temperature is related to two factors: a decrease in the intrinsic chain modulus and a reduction in the shear modulus.
