Abstract

A process for preparing aromatic polyamide film wherein an aromatic diamine and an aromatic diacidchloride are dissolved in an amide polymerization solvent containing an inorganic salt, a partial polymerization is effected at a low temperature to form an optically anisotropic liquid crystalline prepolymer dope, continuously extruding through a film die under a draw ratio or subjecting to a shear and contacting the prepolymer with a second solvent which is a polymerization accelerating-precipitation solvent to obtain an aromatic polyamide film free of crystal defect layer perpendicular to the film axis and having high strength and a high degree of molecular orientation.
