Abstract

The liquid crystal polycondensates according to the invention based on aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, if appropriate aromatic aminocarboxylic acids, diphenols, if appropriate aminophenols, aromatic dicarboxylic acids and if appropriate carbonic acid which are obtainable by polycondensation of the difunctional monomers mentioned in the melt in the presence of aromatic esters with a defined sequence of the structural units of the formula ##STR1## of oligomers with random distribution of the structural units of the formula ##STR2## have a good heat stability and exhibit a stable viscosity under the processing conditions. The liquid crystal polycondensates can be used for the production of shaped articles, films, fibers and filaments.
