A crosslinked poly(arylene ether) is described, along with a method for its formation and an article including it. The crosslinked poly(arylene ether) is prepared by a method that includes forming a grafted poly(arylene ether) and reacting the grafted poly(arylene ether) with water to form a crosslinked poly(arylene ether). The grafted poly(arylene ether) is formed by reacting an uncrosslinked poly(arylene ether) with a crosslinking agent having the structure wherein R1 is hydrogen or methyl; R2 is C1-C8 hydrocarbyl; R3 is C1-C4 alkyl or C2-C6 alkoxyalkyl; n is O, 1, or 2; x is O or 1; and Y is selected from-R5-,-0-R5-,-C(O)-R5-,-C(O)-X-R5-, and-X-C(O)-R5-wherein R5 is C1-C12 hydrocarbylene, and X is O, S, or NR6, wherein R6 is hydrogen or C1-C12 hydrocarbyl.
