Abstract

Abstract A novel heat-curable acrylic-terminated monomer is provided which exhibits an optically anisotropic melt phase at a temperature which enables it to undergo melt processing in the formation of molded articles, etc. Subsequent to melt processing articles prepared from the monomer are capable of being cured to produce a thermoset self-reinforced composite which is soft and flexible relative to prior art monomers. The monomer may, for example, consist essentially of the reaction product of a methacrylic-substituted phenol and terephthalic acid.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 156 words
A molded article formed from a heat-curable acrylic-terminated monomer capable of forming an anisotropic melt phase of the formula: ##STR16## wherein Ar is a divalent radical comprising at least one aromatic ring, Ar 1 is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of phenylene, naphthalene, biphenylene and mixtures thereof, R is selected from the group consisting of an alkylene group having from one to four carbon atoms and an oxyalkylene group having from one to four carbon atoms, and R 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, wherein hydrogen atoms present on the aromatic rings in said divalent radicals Ar and Ar 1 may be replaced by substitution selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having one to four carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having one to four atoms, halogen, phenyl, and mixtures thereof, which has been subjected to curing conditions for a time sufficient to accomplish substantial crosslinking.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 156 words
