NOVEL COMPOSITES BASED ON REINFORCEMENT WITH MICROFIBRILLAR NETWORKS OF RIGID-ROD POLYMERS

摘要

A process for fabricating a composite in the form of a network of microfibrils which includes interpenetrating the microfibrils with a matrix material to form a composite which includes two continuous interpenetrating phases, a matrix-material phase and a microfibrillar-reinforcing-network phase. There is disclosed composites in the form of a fiber and in the form of a film.
