摘要 |
Aromatic polyether polymers, illustrated by polyethersulfones, polyetherketones and polyetherimides, are prepared by a phase transfer catalyzed reaction between a hydrate of a salt of a dihydroxyaromatic compound and a substituted aromatic compound such as bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfone, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) ketone or 1,3-bis[N-(4-chlorophthalimido)]benzene. Isolation of the hydrate and its conversion to the anhydrous salt prior to the polymerization reaction affords a polymer of higher molecular weight than other methods of preparing the anhydrous salt.
