POLY(ARYLENE ETHER) METHOD AND COMPOSITION

摘要

A method for producing a capped poly(arylene ether) having a low concentration of metal impurities is described. The method includes treating a solution of a capped poly(arylene ether) with a chelant to bind the polymerization catalyst metal, and separating the chelated metal from the capped poly(arylene ether). Capped poly(arylene ether)s prepared by the method are also described, as are curable compositions that include them.
