Abstract
Abstract A plycyano aryul ether which has recurring units each represented by the formula: and a reduced viscosity of which is 0.3 dl/g or more at 60°C in a in which the polycyanoaryl ether is dissolved in ophenol in concentration of 0.2 g/dl. is prepared by a dihalogenobenzonitrile represented by the formu- wherein X is a halogen atom, with an alkali metal salt of dihydroxynaphthalene represented by the formula: wherein M is an alkali metal in the presence of a solvent. The polymer of this invention is excellent in mechanical strength, fire retardance and solvent resistance.
