Polyhydroxyphenylene ether resin and process for preparing the same.

摘要

Disclosed is a process for preparing a polyhydroxyphenylene ether resin which comprises copolymerizing a phenol-substituted compound having hydroxyl group as a substituent, represented by the formula (I): wherein m and n each represents an integer satisfying the formulae 1 -S}b-R<2>- where a and b each represents an integer of 1 to 6; and R<1> and R<2> each represents unsubstituted or halogen-substituted alkylene, alkenylene or arylene, or alkylene; K represents halogen, primary or secondary alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl, aminoalkyl, haloalkyl, hydrocarbonoxy or halohydrocarbonoxy; with at least one phenol-substituted compound represented by the formula (II): wherein Qs each represents hydrogen, halogen, primary or secondary alkyl, alkenyl, aromatic, aminoalkyl, haloalkyl, hydrocarbonoxy or halohydrocarbonoxy, and a resin composition containing the polyhydroxyphenylene ether resin prepared by the above method.
