When PC was blended with 30% LC-5000 LCP in weight, the
viscosity decreased very significantly, as compared with that of
pure PC, as shown in Fig. 9, which indicates that oriented LCP
domains lubricate the PC melt greatly. Furthermore, when 1%
Hytrel copolyester, which acts as a compatibilizer, was added to
the PCI30%LCP binary system, the viscosity dropped
significantly and the viscosity--time relationship behaved as that
of pure LC-5000 LCP
