Abstract
Abstract A process for obtaining an aromatic sulfide polymer which has a markedly high molecular weight and can be readily formed into films, fibers, and other structures. The process comprises heating, to a temperature of 100° to 270° C. in an organic solvent under the coexistence of a very small amount of water, a dihaloaromatic compound and a substantially anhydrous amorphous vitreous compound composed of (i) S 2- anions and other inorganic salt-forming anions and (ii) ions of an alkali metal and/or an alkaline earth metal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A process for producing a high molecular weight aromatic sulfide polymer which comprises heating, to a temperature of 100° to 270° C. in a composition comprising (1) an organic solvent, (2) a very small amount of water, (3) a dihaloaromatic compound and (4) a substantially anhydrous amorphous vitreous compound that is a solid ionic complex produced by the contact of (i) (a) S 2- and (b) inorganic salt-forming anions other than the S 2- and (ii) ions of a metal selected from an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal in an aqueous solution followed by drying, the amount of the dihaloaromatic compound being 0.8 to 1.1 g equivalent with respect to the amount of the amorphous vitreous compound containing 1 g equivalant of S 2- .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
