Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A process for the preparation of a polymer which has aromatic rings in the backbone thereof which process comprises subjecting a polymer which has 1,2-disubstituted-cyclohexenylene rings in the polymer backbone to a suitable heat treatment in a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere such that the 1,2-substituents are eliminated from at least substantially all the cyclohexenylene rings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A process for the preparation of a polymer which has aromatic rings in the backbone thereof which process comprises subjecting a polymer which has 1,2-disubstituted-cyclohexenylene rings in the polymer backbone to a suitable heat treatment in a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere such that the 1,2-substituents are eliminated from at least substantially all the cyclohexenylene rings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polymer which has 1,2-disubstituted-cyclohexenylene rings in the polymer backbone has a structure which is represented by the general formula: ##STR17## wherein the cyclohexenylene rings and the residue X, where X is present which optionally varies from unit to unit along the polymer chain; X, where present, is the residue of a polymerisable comonomer, n and m are whole numbers; and the ratio of n:m lies in the range 1:0 to 1:1000; and each R 1 , which may be the same or different, is acyl or hydrocarbyloxyketo.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process as claimed in claim 2 wherein the polymer is subjected to a heat treatment.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
A process as claimed in claim 2 wherein R 1 is aroyl, an alkanoyl group having up to eight carbon atoms and lacking a hydrogen atom on the carbon atom adjacent the carboxy group, or R 3 OCO where R 3 is aroyl or an alkyl group having up to ten carbon atoms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 whenever carried out on a fibre.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
A process as claimed in claim 2 wherein m is zero.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherever carried out on a film.
