AbstractA bisphenol A epoxy resin is used to modify compatibility between PC and LCP (Vectra B950, a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polymer) during injection molding. LCP can effectively reinforce PC, since it forms in situ micro-fibrils in the thermoplastic PC matrix during melt flow. However, the immiscibility of PC and LCP affects the mechanical performance of the LCP in situ composite. Preliminary results of this work indicate that epoxy might improve the interfacial bonding between PC and LCP fibrils, and also modify the tensile properties of the PC/LCP system.
