ABSTRACT

The liquid crystals have the intermediate properties. Rod-shaped polymers of oriented form exist inside of the liquid crystal polymer (LCP). LCP has the specificity of liquid crystal, mechanical, and chemical excellence. Poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) droplet tends to join together with the surrounding PET droplet. PET droplet moves to the center, because LCP has a lower viscosity than PET. Congregative phenomenon in center was also observed in two and three extrusion times of LCP:PET blended droplet, owing to immiscibility and viscosity difference. Distribution of droplets was observed in LCP:PET blended droplets by repeated extrusion process. In this process, each droplet was distributed relatively evenly in the first extrusion process. LCP becomes matrix, and PET represents droplet shape. By repeated extrusion, LCP:PET blended droplet shows enlarged droplet size, and LCP is seen wrapping the PET droplet.
