ABSTRACT
A number of studies have been done on the nanoparticles and nanotubes in polymer matrices in recent years to find a synergy effect in polymer industries. However, there were few studies of nanofibrillar structured LCP (liquid crystalline polymer) in polymer matrices in the past. The blending technology of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) with thermoplastics has evolved to generate the advanced material for high-performance applications and easy processibility. In the past decade, many researchers studied these materials, so-called self-reinforced composites, due to their high potential for
