Strength And Stiffness

Liquid crystalline polymers (solutions or melts) can be spun into fibers and films that have a higher axial strength and stiffness than conventionally processed polymers. These superior properties are due to the spontaneous molecular extension and alignment that is characteristic of liquid crystalline phases. Much of the effort in processing conventional polymers goes into extending and aligning the chains, while, in liquid crystalline polymer processing, the primary microstructural rearrangement involves converting local molecular alignment into global molecular alignment. Unfortunately, the global alignment introduced by processing relaxes quickly upon cessation of shear, and the molecular orientation develops a periodic misalignment relative to the shear direction. The axial strength and stiffness are reduced by this relaxation.Clearly there is a need to solidify the liquid crystalline state (i.e. remove heat or solvent) before significant relaxation occurs. Several researchers have observed this relaxation, mainly in solutions of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) because they are lyotropic under ambient conditions.

Gap Width

Partial and complete emission band reversals have been observed in the infrared emission spectra from portions of operating sliding contacts. An elementary analysis has been carried out to show that partial reversals are due to temperature gradients in the fluid film—the film acts both as a radiation-emitter and absorber, and that total reversals—an emission spectrum appears as an absorption spectrum—are likely to be due to a continuum source, such as hot solid asperities. The total energy radiated under the latter conditions exceeds that under the others. A decrease in gap width with increased load was accompanied by a dramatic spectral change in the case of 5P4E polyphenyl ether, which is indicative of molecular alignment.
