Abstract: A fiber product comprising one or more fibers of aromatic polyamide polymer having a microscopic structure of an extended molecular chain, free of crystal defect layers perpendicular to the fiber axis, a high inherent viscosity of at least 3.0 [dl/g], and a high tensile strength of at least 15 g/d, said inherent viscosity being determined at 30.degree. C. using a concentration of 0.5 grams of said polymer in 100 ml of concentration sulfuric acid.

Abstract: A process for preparing aromatic polyamide film wherein an aromatic diamine and an aromatic diacidchloride are dissolved in an amide polymerization solvent containing an inorganic salt, a partial polymerization is effected at a low temperature to form an optically anisotropic liquid crystalline prepolymer dope, continuously extruding through a film die under a draw ratio or subjecting to a shear and contacting the prepolymer with a second solvent which is a polymerization accelerating-precipitation solvent to obtain an aromatic polyamide film free of crystal defect layer perpendicular to the film axis and having high strength and a high degree of molecular orientation.
