Polymers with Aromatic Rings in the Chain

  • Chapter

Abstract

As stated earlier, poly-p-phenylene would appear to be a good standard of what can be achieved with respect to a thermally stable organic polymer. As it is arguably the simplest of the aromatic ring systems, its investigation has played an important part in the development of heat-resistant polymers. Commercial products based on polyphenylenes have appeared from time to time but have met with only limited success, due in the main to difficulties in fabrication.
