Abstract: Blends of two liquid crystalline copolyesters(LCP:for LCP1 PET/PHB=40/60,for LCP2 PET/PHB=30/70)and its ternary blends containing nylon1010 as the matrix werestudied by using DSC,POM,SEM and mechanical tests. The results indicated that the me-chanical properties of LCP blends were improved substantially and their melt viscosity andflow temperature could be modified by changing the composition of individual LCP so as tornatch the"processing window"of the matrix in making in-situ composites.Neither a signifi-cant improvement in mechanical properties nor the melting and crystallization behavior of ny-lon1010 was observed after blending, which was explained in terms of poor miscibility andorientational deformation of LCP.
