  • Publication number: 20110144252
    Abstract: Polyarylene compositions including one or more organic substances. The organic substances can be selected from the group consisting of a paraffin, an olefin, an olefin oligomer, an alkoxylated acyclic carboxylic acid, an alkoxylated acyclic carboxylic acid amide, an acyclic carboxylic acid, an acyclic carboxylic acid ester, an acyclic carboxylic acid alkali metal salt, an acyclic carboxylic acid amide, an alkoxylated acyclic alcohol, an acyclic alcohol, an alkoxylated alkyl phenol and an alkyl phenol. The organic substances provide improved processability. Further inclusion of a sterically hindered phenol provides tougher polyarylene compositions.
