Patent ID: 8607539

Claim:
A process for producing a rope structure, comprising: forming or preparing liquid crystal polymer filaments, forming yarns from the liquid crystal polymer filaments, forming strands from the liquid crystal polymer yarns, and forming a rope structure from the liquid crystal polymer strands; wherein a organopolysiloxane composition is applied to at least a part of the liquid crystal polymer filaments in at least one step selected from the group consisting of the filament formation or preparation, the yarn formation, the strand formation and the rope structure formation; and wherein said composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having an average polymerization degree of 50,000 to 200,000 and represented by the following formula (I): wherein, X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are the same or different, each independently representing —H, —OH, —COOH, —R, —NH 2 , —R′OH, —R′COOH, or —R′NH 2 ; R representing an alkyl group or an aryl group and R′ representing an alkylene group or an arylene group; and each of m and n independently denotes an integer of not less than 1.
