Process of making thermoplastic copolymers containing polybenzoxazole, polybenzothiazole and polybenzimidazole moieties

摘要

Block copolymers can be formed from heterocyclic polymers such as PBO and thermoplastic polymers such as polyamide or poly(aromatic ether ketone). The block copolymer compositions are thermoplastic and do not experience substantial phase separation, even at about their glass transition temperature. The block copolymer compositions can be formed into fibers, films and laminate or compression-molded articles. PBO, PBI and PBT polymers terminated by active aromatic rings or acylating groups are particularly useful for making the block copolymers.
