Polymers composed of macromolecules containing exclusively arenediyl (formerly arylene) or heteroarenediyl (formerly heteroarylene) units in the backbone:
where Ar is a divalent arenediyl or heteroarenediyl group (structure-based polymer class name).
Note:
Polyphenylenes (Ar is phenylene or substituted phenylene) are a subclass of polyarylenes.
Polyphenylenes (Ar is phenylene or substituted phenylene) are a subclass of polyarylenes.
