Abstract The background to development of liquid crystalline aromatic polyesters is reviewed. Specific programs directed at the development of the homopolymer of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and copolymer with biphenol terephthalate are described. Work on novel processing techniques is highlighted in this paper while questions of synthesis, structure, and properties are considered somewhat more briefly.
