Abstract

Abstract A method for producing arylene sulfide polymer in which an anhydrous reaction mixture containing at least one polyhalo-substituted aromatic compound, at least one organic amide, at least one alkali metal hydroxide, and H 2 S is maintained at polymerization conditions for a time sufficient to produce polymer. In a preferred embodiment the reaction mixture contains at least one alkali metal salt derived from a monocarboxylic acid or carbonic acid.

Independent Claim 57 words
A method for producing polymers comprising: (a) contacting at polymerization conditions an anhydrous reaction mixture comprising: (1) at least one polyhalo-substituted aromatic compound, (2) at least one organic amide, (3) at least one alkali metal hydroxide, and (4) H 2 S, and (b) maintaining said reaction mixture at polymerization conditions for a time sufficient to produce polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
A method of claim 1 wherein reaction mixture components (1), (2) and (3) are contacted to form a first reaction mixture and this first reaction mixture is contacted with component (4).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 49 words
A method of claim 1 wherein reaction mixture components (2), and (3) are contacted to form a first reaction mixture and this first reaction mixture is contacted with component (4) to form a second reaction mixture which is contacted with component (1) in the presence of additional component (2).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 29 words
A method of claim 1, 2, or 3 wherein at least one alkali metal salt derived from a monocarboxylic acid or carbonic acid is present in the reaction mixture.
