摘要
A theory of the strength (or the tenacity) of highly oriented Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) fibers was developed, and its results were compared with existing tensile strength data of fibers of a copolymer of 1,4-oxybenzoate and 6,2-oxynaphthoate. A basic premise of the theory is that the mechanical load transfer between polymer chains is through intermolecular interaction which acts in a manner similar to that of shear stress, and that the fiber strength is primarily governed by the intermolecular adhesion strength. The theory also incorporates the effects of MW, MW distribution, and the chain orientation distribution. Analysis of the experimental tenacity data demonstrates that the present theory can quantitatively describe the variation of the tenacity of LCP fibers with MW both in the as-spun and in the heat-treated states. The theory further predicts that the predominant factor governing the tenacity of LCP fibers is primarily due to MW increase due to solid-state polymerization. It is also demonstrated that the intermolecular adhesion between LCP chains is relatively weak and does not improve with heat treatment. The absence of factors that limit the MW increase (i.e, imbalanced end-groups and side reactions of end groups) is a prerequisite for fast heat treatment of a LCP fiber to a high tenacity. © 1990 Steinkopff.
