摘要:
A method for preparing a poly(phenylene ether) includes feeding air to a continuous flow reactor that contains a reaction mixture including a phenol, a transition metal catalyst, and an organic solvent; and oxidatively polymerizing the reaction mixture at a specified temperature and pressure to form a poly(phenylene ether). The reaction mixture has a residence time in the continuous flow reactor of less than or equal to 30 minutes. Poly(phenylene ether)s prepared by the method and articles including the poly(phenylene ether)s are also described.

摘要:
A method of making a poly(phenylene ether) comprises: in an exotherm period, continuous addition of oxygen and a monohydric phenol to a non-polar solvent and a polymerization catalyst comprising a metal salt, an amine, and a quaternary ammonium salt in a vessel, to form a polymerization mixture, wherein the oxygen and monohydric phenol are added in a mole ratio of 0.5:1 to 1.2:1; and cessation of the continuous addition of the monohydric phenol; and in a build period, continuation of oxygen addition until there is no further increase in viscosity of the polymerization mixture. A poly(phenylene ether) having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 2.0 deciliters per gram, measured in chloroform using an Ubbelohde capillary glass viscometer at 25° C., a polydispersity of 1 to 10, and a unimodal molecular weight distribution, is made by the method.
摘要:
A poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) having a high molecular weight and a reduced content of low molecular weight species can be prepared by a method that includes specific conditions for the oxidative polymerization, chelation, and isolation steps. The poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) is particularly useful for the fabrication of fluid separation membranes.
