Process for producing amino group terminated polyphenylene ether.

摘要

A process for producing an amino group terminated polyphenylene ether represented by the following general formula (I) wherein Q<1>s each represents a halogen atom, a primary or secondary alkyl group, a phenyl group, an aminoalkyl group, a hydrocarbon oxy group or a halohydrocarbon oxy group; Q<2>s each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a primary or secondary alkyl group, a phenyl group, a haloalkyl group, a hydrocarbon oxy group or halohydrocarbon oxy group; R represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 32 carbon atoms, an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an araliphatic hydrocarbon group; and n is a number of 10 to 500, which process comprises reacting a polyphenylene ether represented by the following general formula (II) wherein Q1, Q2 and n are as define above, with a primary amine halide represented by the following general formula (III> X - R - NH2 (III> wherein R is as defined above, and X represents a halogen atom. There are also disclosed a resin composition comprising an amino group-terminated polyphenylene ether of general formula (I) and a functionalized olefin resin selected from a carboxyl group containing olefin resin and an epoxy group containing olefin resin, and a resin composition comprising an amino group terminated polyphenylene ether of general formula (I) and a polyamide or a thermoplastic polyester.
