Abstract

By maintaining an arylenesulfide prepolymer with a melt viscosity of 5 to 3,000 poise at a temperature of 245.degree. to 290.degree. C. under a liquid-liquid two-phase separated state in a solvent for 1 to 50 hours, the molecular weight of said prepolymer is increased to a high to ultra-high value while the linearity of the polymer is retained.
