    Abstract: A method for forming a high molecular weight thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer is provided. The method includes melt polymerizing two or more monomers in the presence of a unique aromatic amide oligomer to form a prepolymer, and then solid-state polymerizing the prepolymer to achieve a target molecular weight. The present inventors have discovered that a unique aromatic amide oligomer can be employed to help increase the “low shear” complex viscosity of the resulting solid-state polymerized composition. This allows for the attainment of higher than conventional “low shear” complex viscosity values and/or a substantial reduction in the solid-state polymerization time needed to achieve a target complex viscosity. In addition, the oligomeric flow aid can also accelerate the extent to which the “high shear” melt viscosity is increased during solid-state polymerization, which may also contribute to a substantial reduction in the solid-state polymerization time needed to achieve a certain molecular weight.

    Abstract: A method for lowering melt viscosity of a liquid crystalline polymer as it is formed in a reactor vessel. More particularly, a reaction mixture is initially supplied to the reactor vessel that contains two or more precursor monomers (e.g., acetylated or non-acetylated). The reaction mixture is heated to an elevated temperature under agitation to initiate formation of the polymer. After a certain period of time, an aromatic amide oligomer is added to the reaction mixture. Among other things, the present inventors have discovered that such an oligomer can serve as a flow aid by altering intermolecular polymer chain interactions, thereby lowering the overall viscosity of the polymer matrix under shear. This minimizes the likelihood of “freeze off” of the polymer within the reactor vessel and limits the impact of process disruptions on the production of the liquid crystalline polymer.

    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for generating a message summary field. The message summary field indicates whether 802.11-formatted data packets are communicated upon a frequency range to which a mobile station operable in an IEEE 802.11 radio communication system is tuned. An indicator indicates whether an 802.11 data packet is detected. And, a reporter generates a measurement summary which includes a measurement summary field populated with a value indicating the determination. Subsequent analysis of the value of the field of the measurement summary is utilized pursuant to dynamic frequency selection operations.
