Abstract: Described herein are poly(arylene sulfide) (“PAS”) polymers (PASP) including recurring units formed from a dihalocarbazole containing monomer. It was surprisingly found that such monomers could be incorporated into PAS polymers at desirable concentrations to provide improved amine content.

The processing circuitry obtains, on the basis of a magnetic resonance image, a plurality of shift images resulting from shifting the position of the pixel sampling grid of the magnetic resonance image by a plurality of mutually-different shift amounts. The processing circuitry generates a plurality of ringing-corrected images, by determining, with respect to each of the pixels included in each of the plurality of shift images, a shift amount from the position of the pixel to a position where ringing artifacts will be reduced and further performing a ringing correction to correct the ringing artifacts occurring in the shift images on the basis of the determined shift amounts. The processing circuitry combines, while interleaving, pixels included in each of the plurality of ringing-corrected images.

Abstract: Described herein are poly(arylene sulfide) (“PAS”) polymers (PASP) including recurring units formed from selected dihalofluorene monomers. Surprisingly, at relative low dihalofluorene monomer concentrations, the PAS polymers (PASP) have significantly increased glass transition temperatures (“Tg”) and impact performance, relative to analogous PAS homopolymers and PAS polymers (PASP) including recurring units formed from 4,4?-dibromobiphenyl (“DBBP”). Simultaneously, the PAS polymers (PASP) also retain high elastic modulus. Furthermore, the PAS polymers (PASP) are free of recurring units formed from polyhalogenated biphenyls (e.g. DBBP and polychlorinated biphenyls) and, therefore, are not currently subject to restrictive governmental regulation.
