Abstract: The invention relates to thermosetting compositions which are blends of novel poly(arylacetylenes) and, as fluidizers, certain aromatic organic compounds containing at least two aromatic rings. The poly(arylacetylenes) are prepolymers of polyacetylenically substituted aromatic compounds, which prepolymers have a number average molecular weight of from about 900 to about 12,000 and contain from about 5 to about 20% by weight of acetylenic groups. Diethynylbenzene is one of the preferred monomers used in preparation of the prepolymers. Representative of the compounds containing at least two aromatic rings are diphenyl ether and dibenzofuran. The compositions are curable by heat to produce thermoset resins which have very desirable physical properties at both normal and high temperatures.

The compositions are curable by heat to produce thermoset resins which have very desirable physical properties at both normal an high temperatures.

Abstract: A method of injection molding wherein a pair of separable mold plates are initially urged together and fluid plastic is injected into a mold cavity formed between the mold plates to form an article. The injection pressure of the fluid plastic is utilized to generate forces sufficient to overcome the internal forces urging the mold plates apart and thus hold the mold plates together until the material being molded solidifies either by cooling, chemical reaction or phase change.
