- DSC, IR, ESCA, macroscopic etching rate measurements, analysis of etchant solution, and electron microscopy conclusively show that n-alkylamines (ethylamine, n-propylamine, n-butylamine, and n-pentylamine) and NaOH selectively degrade (etch) the ethylene terephthalate (ET)-rich phase in glassy liquid crystalline poly(p-hydroxybenzoic acid-co-ethylene terephthalate) [P(HBA-ET)] with molar compositions 0.60:0.40 and 0.80:0.20. ESCA demonstrates the excellent selectivity of the n-alkylamine etchants in the 0.60:0.40 copolymer. The 50 Å top layer of the etched samples contains 95 mol% HBA. Treatment with H2SO4 and NH3 gives ambiguous results, and these compounds are not suitable as etchants. It is demonstrated by electron microscopy on the 0.60:0.40 copolymer, in accordance with earlier reports by Joseph et al.,5-8 that the ET-rich phase is discontinuous (1-2 m spheres) and surrounded by an HBA-rich matrix. SEM is a useful tool for characterization of this morphology. However, both phases have a substracture which is revealed only by TEM. The morphology of the 0.80:0.20 copolymer is fine-textured, which means that SEM is a less suitable method for the characterization of etched samples.
