Abstract

A polymer composition especially suitable for producing fibre-reinforced structures having advantageous fracture toughness comprises a polyarylsulphone component and a thermoset resin component, each of which components is present at least partly as a phase continuous in at least one dimension. Preferred polyarylsulphones contain repeating units (PhSO.sub.2 Ph).sub.n and (Ph).sub.a linked through ether and/or thioether, where Ph is phenylene, n=1 to 2 and a=1 to 3; and such polyarylsulphones having amino end groups are provided as new compounds. The compositions can be made by spinodal decomposition of a mixture of the polyarylsulphone and a thermoset resin precursor.
