| abstract |
This invention provides polyarylenes having a recurring unit shown by formula (I) or (II) below and a process for production thereof as well as these monomers: (wherein Ar1 and Ar2 are an arylene; R1 and R2 are C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, etc.; A1 and A2 are C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, etc.; and n is an integer of 2 or more);(wherein Ar1 and Ar2 are an arylene; R1 and R2 are C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, etc.; A1 and A2 are C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, etc.; and n is an integer of 2 or more) The polyarylenes of the invention find extensive applications as electrically conductive resins. The polyarylenes can be used also as resin compositions in a variety of formed shapes. |
