Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 62 words
A cross-linked phenylene oxide polymer composition comprising the reaction product of an alkyl halogenated phenylene oxide polymer and a primary monoamine selected from the group consisting of methylamine, ethylamine, a propylamine, a butylamine and aniline, wherein cross-linkage between phenylene groups is represented by the structural formula --CH 2 NRCH 2 --, where R is methyl, ethyl, a propyl, a butyl or phenyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 62 words
A cross-linked phenylene oxide polymer composition comprising the reaction product of an alkyl halogenated phenylene oxide polymer and a primary monoamine selected from the group consisting of methylamine, ethylamine, a propylamine, a butylamine and aniline, wherein cross-linkage between phenylene groups is represented by the structural formula --CH 2 NRCH 2 --, where R is methyl, ethyl, a propyl, a butyl or phenyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the phenylene oxide polymer has at least one alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, said alkyl groups being in an ortho position on the phenylene ring with respect to the oxygen of the phenylene oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
The composition of claim 2 wherein said at least one alkyl group is halogenated at the benzylic carbon atom.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 13 words
The composition of claim 3 wherein the phenylene oxide has two methyl groups.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
The composition of claim 4 wherein the methyl groups are halogenated with chlorine or bromine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 76 words
A cross-linked phenylene oxide polymer composition comprising the reaction product of brominated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) and a primary monoamine selected from the group consisting of methylamine, ethylamine, a propylamine, a butylamine and aniline wherein there are from 0.1 to 2.0 benzylic bromine atoms per phenylene oxide unit, wherein there is benzyl amine cross-linkage between phenylene groups represented by the structural formula --CH 2 NRCH 2 --, where R is methyl, ethyl, a propyl, a butyl or phenyl.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 76 words
A cross-linked phenylene oxide polymer composition comprising the reaction product of brominated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) and a primary monoamine selected from the group consisting of methylamine, ethylamine, a propylamine, a butylamine and aniline wherein there are from 0.1 to 2.0 benzylic bromine atoms per phenylene oxide unit, wherein there is benzyl amine cross-linkage between phenylene groups represented by the structural formula --CH 2 NRCH 2 --, where R is methyl, ethyl, a propyl, a butyl or phenyl.
