Many newer poly(phenylene oxide)s have been reported ia the early 1990s. Eor example, a number of poly(2,6-diphenyl-l,4-phenylene oxide)s were prepared with substituents ia the 4-positions of the pendent phenyl groups. Of particular iaterest is the 4-fluoro substitueat, which imparts a lower melting poiat, enhanced solubiUty, and a lesser tendency to crystallize than has been found for the parent material (1). 

The backbone of poly(phenylene oxide)s is cleaved under certain extreme reaction conditions. Lithium biphenyl reduces DMPPO to low molecular weight products in the dimer and trimer molecular weight range (20) and converts poly(2,6-diphenyl-l,4-phenylene oxide) to 3,5-diphenylphenol in 85% yield (21) (eq. 4). 

Sulfonation has been used to change some characteristics of blends. Poly(2,6-diphenyl-l,4-phenylene oxide) and polystyrene are immiscible. However, when the polymers were functionalized by sulfonation, even though they remained immiscible when blended, the functionalization increased interfacial interactions and resulted in improved properties (65). In the case of DMPPO and poly(ethyl acrylate) the originally immiscible blends showed increased miscibility with sulfonation (66). 

Applications Van der Maeden et al. [646] first used GE-HPLC for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of oligomeric mixtures, such as low-MW resins (epoxy up to 16-mer, o-cresol novolak up to 16-mer, p-cresol novolak up to 13-mer), prepolymers (poly-(2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide) up to 20-mer), PET (up to 14-mer) and ethoxylated octaphenol surfactants (up to 19-mer). In many GE-HPLC separations of oligomeric mixtures, a compromise has to be found between sample loading, injection volume and compatibility of the sample solvent and the initial phase system. Therefore,... 

Because of its low affinity for water we have used TENAX TA, poly-(2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide). This very porous polymer has a high thermostability and may be used with a thermal desorption technique. It is also possible to dry it to avoid plugging the GC column, with only minimum losses of other collected components. 

The intramolecular flexibilities of poly(1,4-phenylene oxide), polyi2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), poly(2-methyl-6-phenyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), and poly 2,6-diphenyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) are evaluated through estimation of the resistance to rotation about the Cj 4—0 bonds in their backbones. A 6-12 potential is used to account for the van der Waals interactions between nonbonded atoms and groups encountered during the backbone rotations, while the twofold intrinsic potential to rotation about the C14—0 bonds resulting from the -electron delocalization is also included. 

Adsorbent choice. The choice of adsorbent material depends on the volatile compounds in the food. Of the synthetic porous polymers, the most widely used and best overall adsorbent is Tenax TA (poly-2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide) 60 to 80 mesh. While Tenax does not show an adsorption capacity for all volatiles, especially very small polar compounds such as acetaldehyde, it has good thermal stability and desorption capabilities. It also traps little water and generates very few artifacts. Table G1.2.2 shows a few limitations and advantages of various adsorbents, all of which can be purchased from chromatography suppliers. If very small volatiles are the goal, various Carbosieves could be used, or traps containing several adsorbents in series. Traps with mixed adsorbents should be desorbed immediately, before transfer between phases occurs.

Separation properties of poly-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide (p-DMePO) and poly-2,6-diphenyl-1,4-phenylene oxide (p-DPhPO), as well as chemically modified p-DMePO have been studied by a number of researchers for the purpose of using these polymers in gas separation and pervaporation processes [18,68,71]. p-DMePO/p-DPhPO copolymers offer a number of advantages compared to homopolymers better mechanical properties, higher resistance to oxidants and radiation, which is why these copolymers have also been studied rather closely [18,71]. Investigation of p-DMePO and p-DPhPO homopolymers has... 

Ballard Advanced Materials (BAM) ionomers are sulfonated copolymers of trifluorostyrene and substimted trifluorostyrene monomers. BAM, a subsidiary of Ballard Power Systems, investigated the conducting polymers based on polyphenylquinoxaline (PPQ). These can be sulfonated in a wide range and were referred to as BAMIG (Ballard first generation) membranes, but these membranes were found to have short durability. To overcome this problem, BAM developed a second generation of advanced membranes based on two distinct material types. The first material type consisted of a series of sulfonated poly(2,6-diphenyl 1,4-phenylene oxide). The second material type consisted of a series of sulfonated poly(arylether sulfone). But the durability of these membranes was also insufficient. Since the durability of previous membranes was limited, Ballard produced a novel family of sulfonated membranes based on a,p,p-ttifluorostyrene monomers and a series of substituted ttifluoro-comonomers... 

Anodic oxidation of diaryl disulfides results in polymerization [473, 474]. Thus oxidation of diphenyl disulfide 187, R=Ph, in the presence of trifluoro-acetic acid gave poly(p-phenylene sulfide) 209a. 

The oxidative polymerization of diphenyl disulfides or of thiophenal with quinones at room temperature has been reported to produce pure poly(p-phenylene sulfides) [37cJ. This will be described in more detail in Section 4. 

Diphenylphenol can be obtained from cyclohexanone. The reaction is shown in Figure 4.2. The oxidative polymerization of 2,6-di-phenylphenol yields poly(2,6-diphenyl-l-4-phenylene oxide), which is a completely aromatic analogue of PPE. 4-Bromo-4, 4"-dihydroxytriphen-ylmethane is obtained from the reaction of p-bromobenzaldehyde with two moles of phenol. ...
