This project deals with the synthesis, characterization, rheology, and          processing of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (LCP).                   Thermotropic LCP's exhibit processing behavior and solid-state                  properties which make them very attractive for commercial polymers for          high-strength fibers, injection-molded plastics, and printed circuit            boards for the electronics industry.  This research addresses the many          structural phenomena of these polymers on a molecular as well as a              macroscopic scale.  The study is an interdisciplinary effort involving          the areas of synthesis, characterization, and properties evaluation.
