Abstract
Polyphenylene (I) has been the subject of considerable research effort due to its unique chemical structure. The all aromatic nature and the absence of functional groups in either the main chain or on pendant groups result in important advantages over most other classes of organic polymers. These include, high thermal stability, low moisture sensitivity and stability against the environment and many chemicals.
