Description	Although its existence has been known for over 100 years, there has been a significant increase in interest in the liquid-crystalline state in the last two decades. Currently, liquid-crystalline systems are used in a variety of applications from lightweight high-modulus/high-strength components to display devices. The commercialization of melt-processable high-molecular-weight, main-chain liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) in the mid-1980s has opened up the opportunity to process these high-performance materials using conventional manufacturing equipment. Applications for these materials have been discussed by Jansson [1]. The properties of TLCP components are complex and strongly reflect flow and solidification history. Successful implementation of these materials requires optimization of processing to control microstructure and maximize properties. Therefore, a knowledge of the fundamental relationships between processing and properties is necessary. According to a report by the United States National Materials Advisory Board Committee on Liquid Crystal Polymers [2], applications of these materials “will be retarded until there is an in-depth understanding of how processing promotes morphology in conjunction with how molecular 308structure affects the mechanical and the unusual physical properties of these new classes of polymers.” Book Name: Handbook of Applied Polymer Processing Technology
