Abstract

The description relates to novel liquid-crystalline polyesters containing the following repeating units: A having the formula: ##STR1## and B having the formula ##STR2## The novel polyesters are of use e.g. as starting materials for production of fibres with improved mechanical properties. They can either be converted as such into fibres or can be added to conventional fibre-forming matrix polymers.
