Abstract:
1. A process of preparing an aromatic polyether sulfone block copolymer comprising (a) a segment represented by chemical formula (10): wherein r 3 represents an integer of 5 to 1500, and (b) a segment represented by chemical formula (11): wherein Z 6 represents C═O or O═S═O, Ar 6 represents a divalent aromatic group composed of an aromatic ring, the aromatic ring is not bonded to an electron drawing group other than that which forms the molecular chain of the prepolymer, and r 4 represents an integer of 5 to 300, the process comprising the step of: reacting (A) an aromatic polyether sulfone prepolymer having the segment (a) and (B) a prepolymer having the segment (b) in a solution at a temperature of 120 to 200° C. to produce an aromatic polyether sulfone block copolymer, wherein, the prepolymer having the segment (a) is not fluorine terminated, the prepolymer having the segment (b) has at least one terminal hydroxyl group in the form of an alkali metal salt, the aromatic polyether sulfone block copolymer produced comprises a molecular chain formed by the segment (a) and the segment (b), and the segments are bonded to each other by an ether bond such that there is no bonding group of a different kind of molecule between the segment (a) and the segment (b).
