Abstract

A polyester is provided which exhibits an anisotropic melt phase and an advantageous combination of (1) melt processability and (2) excellent heat resistance in articles formed from the same. The polyester consists essentially of p-oxybenzoyl units, 6-oxy-2-naphthoyl units, terephthaloyl units, and metadioxyphenylene units in appropriate concentrations (as described. The aromatic rings of such units optionally may be substituted as discussed.
