A miscible blend comprising from about 5 to about 95 weight percent of a polybenzimidazole and from about 95 to about 5 weight percent of a polyamide-imide having fluorine-containing linking groups, total weight percent of the two polymers being 100. A process for preparing the blends comprises dissolving in a mutual solvent from about 5 to about 95 weight percent of the aromatic polybenzimidazole to about 95 to about 5 weight percent of the polyamide-imide having fluorine-containing linking groups, based on the total weight of those polymers and subsequently evaporating the solvent, thereby producing a dried blend of a polybenzimidazole and a polyamide-imide having fluorine-containing linking groups. The blends, particularly in the form of films, fibers or fibrets, may be post-treated with heat or sulfuric acid in order to minimize their shrinkage when subsequently subjected to heat and in order to increase their resistance to solvents and acid. The polyamide-imides having fluorine-containing linking groups are prepared by forming the polycondensation product of one or more aromatic diamines, one or more trifunctional acid anhydride monomers, and one or more tetrafunctional aromatic dianhydrides, at least one of said monomers containing the group ##STR1## linking two aromatic moieties, wherein R is CF. sub.

The present invention discloses and claims a novel process for the formation of high denier as-spun and heat-treated multilobal filaments of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer. Preferred embodiments include process for the formation of as-spun and heat treated octalobal monofilaments of a few wholly aromatic polyesters and polyesteramides. The process involves (a) heating of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer to above its melting transition temperature; (b) passing said molten polymer through an extrusion chamber equipped with an extrusion capillary having a multilobal cross-section to form a multilobal filament; and (c) winding the filament at a suitable draw-down. The filaments so formed are of at least 50 denier per filament (dpf) and feature essentially uniform molecular orientation across their cross-section. In a final optional step, the filaments are heat treated in stages to form filaments exhibiting excellent tensile properties. Both as-spun and heat-treated filaments feature remarkably good tensile properties comparable to those of round filaments.

Due to the size and complexity of tissues such as the spinal cord and articular cartilage, specialized constructs incorporating cells as well as smart materials may be a promising strategy for achieving functional recovery. Aspects of the present invention describe the use of an electroactive, or piezoelectric, material that will act as a scaffold for stem cell induced tissue repair. Embodiments of the inventive material can also act alone as an electroactive scaffold for repairing tissues. The piezoelectric material of the present invention acts as a highly sensitive mechanoelectrical transducer that will generate charges in response to minute vibrational forces.

A process for making a transparent film comprising a liquid crystalline polymer, and a transparent film made thereby having high barrier properties. In this process, the LCP is dissolved in an appropriate solvent, then cast into a film at ambient or near-ambient temperatures. The film optionally may be dried at elevated temperatures and/or reduced pressures to remove the solvent. The film is then annealed at a temperature between the glass transition temperature (T. sub. g) and the melting point temperature (T. sub. m) of the polymer. The result is a highly transparent film having liquid crystalline morphology and high barrier properties.

Novel thermoset epoxy polymers using the bisglycidyl ethers of anhydrosugars, such as isosorbide, isomannide, and isoidide, are disclosed. The bisglycidyl ethers are useful as substitutes for bisphenol A in the manufacture of thermoset epoxy ethers. The anhydrosugars are derived from renewable sources and the bisglycidyl ethers are not xenoestrogenic and the thermoset curing agents are likewise derived form renewable resources.

A novel method for the synthesis of ethers of anhydrosugars, such as isosorbide, isomannide, and isoidide, is disclosed. The bisglycidyl ethers are useful as substitutes for bisphenol A in the manufacture of thermoset epoxy ethers. Anhydrosugar ethers are derived from renewable sources and are not xenoestrogenic. Higher alkyl and aralkyl ethers are stable high-boiling oils that are good plasticizers for materials such as PVC.
