Abstract
A polyarylsulphone is prepared by the polycondensation of a bisphenol with an aryl dichloride, at least one of which contains a sulphone group, in the presence of a base and introducing into the reaction mixture less than 5% mole, relative to the aryl dichloride, of 4,4'-difluorodiphenylsulphone. The bisphenol and aryldichloride can be of 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylsulphone and 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylsulphone respectively. The difluoro compound is added when the polymerisation is essentially complete. The polymer product if of improved quality.
