polyoxyarylene

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.15289
Polymer composed of macromolecules containing exclusively oxyarenediyl (formerly oxyarylene) constitutional repeating units in the backbone: \[\ce{-[-O-Ar\bond{-}]_{n}\bond{-}}\] where \(\ce{Ar}\) is an arenediyl (formerly arylene), heteroarenediyl (formerly heteroarylene), substituted arenediyl or substituted heteroarenediyl.
Notes:
  1. Polyoxyarylenes are a subclass of polyethers.
  2. A polyoxyarylene in which arenediyl is phenylene or a substituted phenylene is a polyoxyphenylene.
Example:
