Abstract

Abstract Wholly aromatic liquid-crystalline condensates which form a liquid-crystalline fiber-forming melt below 320° C. and are diphase within the range from the glass transition temperature Tg to the melting point and are composed of (a) not less than 10 mol % of repeat units of the formula I ##STR1## (b) from 5 to 30 mol % of repeat units of the formula II ##STR2## (c) from 0 to 20 mol % of one or more of the repeat units of the formulae III, IV or V ##STR3## (d) from 0 to 20 mol % of one or more of the repeat units of the formulae VI, VII, VIII or IX ##STR4## (e) a molar amount corresponding to the total amount of components (b), (c) and (d) of repeat units of the formula X ##STR5## the mole percentage of components (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) adding up to 100 mol % in each case, the preparation thereof and filaments, fibers, films, moldings and surface coating prepared therefrom.
