Processes aimed at forming high‐performance fiber morphologies from rigid, semirigid, and flexible polymers have been analyzed. Routes that rely at least partially on the favorable thermodynamic consequences of conformational rigidity imparted by intramolecular and polymer–solvent interactions are shown to offer much greater promise than those that rely entirely on externally applied deformation.
