Substituted 1,4-diphenylbutadiynes and oligomers thereof as polymer fluidizers and resins

摘要

Compounds having the formula in which R is a member selected from the group consisting of H, CH2=CH-, and CH 3BOND C-, R' is a member selected from the group consisting of -CH=CH2 and -C 3BOND CH, and n is zero, 1, 2, 3 or 4, are useful as fluidizers for polyphenylene prepolymers, rendering the latter sufficiently fluid for processing to form high-performance carbonaceous materials. These compounds are also useful themselves as monomers and prepolymers for the formation of the high-performance carbonaceous materials.
