In a preferred embodiment this invention provides a second order nonlinear optical film medium which consists of a thermoplastic copolymer which has a crystallographic molecular alignment, and a net dipolar molecular orientation normal to the film plane. The crystallographic molecular alignment is f ...
A novel polyester is provided which has been found to exhibit a thermotropic melt phase at a temperature which enables it readily to undergo melt processing to form quality fibers, molded articles, etc. The polyester of the present invention is formed primarily of recurring 6-oxy-2-naphthoyl and p-o ...
A wholly aromatic polyester is provided which has been found to be highly amenable to melt extrusion to yield high performance fibers. Such fibers following thermal treatment exhibit high tenacity and tensile modulus properties which are well retained at elevated temperatures while exhibiting a low ...
A wholly aromatic polyester is provided which unlike the aromatic polyesters normally encountered in the prior art is not intractable or difficultly tractable and readily undergoes melt processing with ease. The aromatic polyester of the present invention consists essentially of the recurring units ...

The novel polyester of the present invention is capable of forming an anisotropic melt phase and may be prepared on a relatively economical basis. Such polyester includes a relatively low concentration of 6-oxy-2-naphthoyl moiety in combination with a more substantial concentration of 4-oxybenzoyl m ...
