Abstract

A new class of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers comprises monomers units I, II, III, and IV, where ##STR1## Ar.sup.1, Ar.sup.2 and Ar.sup.3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of 1,3-phenylene, 1,4-phenylene, 2,6-naphthylene, 2,7-naphthylene, 4,4'-biphenylene, bis-aryl moieties having the formula ##STR2## and mixtures thereof. In the bis-aryl moieties, each X can be S, O, CO, SO, SO.sub.2, C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 or C(CF.sub.3).sub.2.
