<p>A wholly aromatic polyester capable of forming an anisotropic melt is prepared which is derived from 4-hydroxy-4'-carboxy azobenzene or its halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy derivatives. Additional aryl moieties, such as those derived from aromatic hydroxy acids (e.g., p-hyroxybenzoic acid, 6-hydroxy-2-napthoic acid), or an aromatic diol (e.g., hydroquinone) in combination with an aromatic diacid (e.g., terephthalic acid), may be included with the moiety derived from 4-hydroxy-4'-carboxy azobenzene. The polyester is preferably prepared by the melt polymerization of the esterified (e.g., acetylated) monomer or monomers (as described). The polyester may be melt processed into fibers, films or other shaped articles which may include conventional filler materials and/or reinforcing agents.</p> |
