Notes:
Poly(ester amides) with physical properties similar to those of liquid crystalline polyesters were prepared by acidolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) with p-acetamidobenzoic acid and then polycondensation through the acetamido and carboxyl groups. The ester amide polymers had a random sequence distribution, contained some branching, and at low frequencies had relaxation times appreciably longer than those of poly(ethylene terephthalate). Because of the extended chain orientation of the polymer segments that contained p-aminobenzoic acid (PAB) units, the mechanical properties of injection-molded polymers containing 20-30 mole % PAB were anisotropic. The liquid crystalline characteristics and mechanical properties were further increased by incorporating p-hydroxybenzoic acid units into the polymers.
