β¦ Synopsis
The oxidation of Ix)ly ( 2,6-dimethyl-C, 4-phenylene ether) (PPE) during polymerization has been examined as a function of molecular weight, using spectroscopic techniques. The visible light absorption and the IR absorption at 1660cm -I increased as the molecular weight decreased. A most probable chromophore may have a xanthone-like structure and be present near the polymer chain-end. The 13C-NMR spectra for fractions of various molecular weights from a PPE sample indicate that the increase in chain mobility around the chain-end is a major reason for the higher activity in the oxidation.

Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4 -phenylene oxide) (PPO) is a chemically resistant polymer and, therefore, an attractive material for the formation of membranes. However, membranes of unmodified PPO prepared by an immersion precipitation possess very low hydraulic permeabilities at the filtration processes. T
