ABSTRACT Novel self-reinforced polymer composites of a base polymer with a melt processable liquid crystal polymer are prepared according to this invention. The base polymer is a flexible chain polymer, e.g. a conventional thermoplastic. Poly- carbonate is a particularly suitable base polymer. The liquld crystal polymer is melt processable, that is, it has a melting point and exhibits aniso- tropic properties in the melt phase. Wholly aromatic copolyesters are particularly suitable. Mixing is carried out at a temperature at which both the base polymer and the liquid crystal are melt processable, i.e., at a temperature at which the base polymer flows readily and the liquid crystal polymer is above its melting point. The products of this invention comprise about 2 to 20 percent by weight of liquid crystal polymer, which is in the form of essentially unidirectionally oriented continuous fibers primarily in the range of about 1 to 10 micrometers in diameter, distri- buted in a matrix of the base polymer. The polymer composites of this invention have high tensile strength in both the fiber direction and the trans- verse direction, and also have high modulus, satis- factory elongation, good impact strength, and good high temperature properties.
