[53]. The reduction of viscosity is correlated with the
fibrillation of the LCP which is promoted by nano
silica. In blends of LCP and poly(sulfone), the addi-
tion of ca. 5% of nano silica effects the formation of
long and perfectly oriented fibrils in the capillary flow
[74]. The nano silica forms a network in the ...
