Processing of composite fibers based on polypropylene and a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer

Isotactic polypropylene (PP) was reinforced with Vectra B950 (VB), a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP), in two novel fiber spinning processes. In one process, a single VB melt stream was surrounded by a sheath of PP in a manner comparable to a wire coating process just prior to melt spi...
