Chapter 4: Rigid-chain polymers: Aromatic polyamides, heterocyclic rigid rod polymers, and polyesters

In the previous chapters the emphasis was on high-performance fibers/tapes based on flexible chain polymers and in terms of strength and stiffness, the primus inter pares is ultra-highmolecular-weight polyethylene, UHMW-PE. These developments on flexible polymer molecules stem from the 1980s but wer...
