Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer

High-speed melt spinning of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP) resin composed of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) and 2-hydroxy-6-napthoic acid (HNA) monomers in a molar ratio of 73/27 was conducted to investigate the characteristic structure development of the fibers under industrial spinning conditions, and the obtained as-spun TLCP fibers were analyzed in detail. The tensile strength and modulus of the fibers increased with shear rate in nozzle hole, draft in spin-line and spinning temperature and exhibited the high values of approximately 1.1 and 63 GPa, respectively, comparable to those of industrial as-spun TLCP fibers, at a shear rate of 70,000 s−1 and a draft of 25. X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the mechanical properties of the fibers increased with the crystalline orientation factor (fc) and the fractions of highly oriented crystalline and non-crystalline anisotropic phases. The results of structure analysis indicated that a characteristic skin–core structure developed at high drafts (i.e., spinning velocity) and low spinning temperatures, which contributed to weakening the mechanical properties of the TLCP fibers. It is supposed that this heterogeneous structure in the cross-section of the fibers was induced by differences in the cooling rates of the skin and core of the fiber in the spin-line.
