Abstract
Abstract An aromatic polymer is prepared by polymerizing a diphenolate compound, of a dialkali metal salt of a diphenol with a dihalodiphenyl compound, of a dihalogenobenzenoid compound having an electron withdrawing group in at least one of the positions ortho or para to each of the halogen atoms, at 200 DEG C. to 400 DEG C. in the presence of from 0.1 to 30% by weight of an inert nonpolar aromatic reaction lubricant.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A process for preparing an aromatic polymer which comprises polymerizing a dialkali metal salt of a diphenol with a dihalodiphenyl compound, having an electron withdrawing group in at least one of the positions ortho or para to each of the halogen atoms, at 200° C to 400° C, in an inert gas atmosphere, in the presence of from 0.1 to 30% by weight of an inert nonpolar aromatic reaction lubricant selected from the group consisting of anthracene, phenanthrene and a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein X represents a single bond or methylene, ethylene, propylene or propylidene group or oxygen or sulfur atom; Y 1 , y 2 , y 3 and Y 4 respectively represent hydrogen atom or methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, aryl or benzyl group and Z represents methylene group or oxygen or sulfur atom; wherein said dialkali metal salt of a diphenol and said dihalodiphenyl compound are polycondensed in the molar ratio of from 1:0.95 to 1:1.10.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
