N2 - Among the new generation of structural polymeric materials, rigid-rod ordered polymers, poly(benzazoles), PBX, in particular, poly(benzothiazoles) (PBZT's) and poly-(benzoxazoles) (PBO's) are clearly standing out with their superior tensile properties, and high tolerance under extremely harsh conditions. Their compressive characteristics are less than desired for certain aerospace applications. Accordingly, recent efforts are directed towards the improvement of the compressive strength of PBX polymers. This paper describes the syntheses of the dihydroxy-PBZT homopolymer and dihydroxy-PBZT/PBZT co-polymers as well as their processing and fiber properties.
