Abstract:
1. A curable composition, comprising: a difunctionalized poly(arylene ether) having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.05 to 0.30 deciliter per gram at 25° C.; wherein the difunctionalized poly(arylene ether) has the structure wherein each occurrence of Q 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, primary or secondary C 1 -C 12 alkyl, C 2 -C 12 alkenyl, C 2 -C 12 alkynyl, C 1 -C 12 aminoalkyl, C 1 -C 12 hydroxyalkyl, phenyl, C 1 -C 12 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 12 hydrocarbyloxy, and C 2 -C 12 halohydrocarbyloxy wherein at least two carbon atoms separate the halogen and oxygen atoms; each occurrence of Q 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, primary or secondary C 1 -C 12 alkyl, C 2 -C 12 alkenyl, C 2 -C 12 alkynyl, C 1 -C 12 aminoalkyl, C 1 -C 12 hydroxyalkyl, phenyl, C 1 -C 12 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 12 hydrocarbyloxy, and C 2 -C 12 halohydrocarbyloxy wherein at least two carbon atoms separate the halogen and oxygen atoms; each occurrence of x is independently 1 to 100; each occurrence of R wherein each occurrence of R 5 and R 6 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, primary or secondary C 1 -C 12 alkyl, C 2 -C 12 alkenyl, C 2 -C 12 alkynyl, C 1 -C 12 aminoalkyl, C 1 -C 12 hydroxyalkyl, phenyl, C 1 -C 12 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 12 hydrocarbyloxy, and C 2 -C 12 halohydrocarbyloxy wherein at least two carbon atoms separate the halogen and oxygen atoms; and Y has the structure wherein each occurrence of R 8 and R 9 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C 1 -C 12 hydrocarbyl; and an olefinically unsaturated monomer.
