Thermomechanical processing environment and morphology development of a thermotropic polymer liquid crystal

We have studied a longitudinal polymer liquid crystal consisting of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid, namely PET/0.6PHB, where 0.6 is the mole fraction of the second component. The material was injection molded with systematic variations of the melt and mold temperatures...
