Abstract:
Acrylonitrile polymers containing at least 91% by weight acrylonitrile are spun from solutions having a polymer concentration of 38 to 75% by weight. Useful polymers have an intrinsic viscosity of 0. 6 to 2. 0, most preferably 0. 9 to 1. 1, 7 to 23. mu. eq. /g. enolizable groups after mild acid treatment, 15 to 70. mu. eq. /g. thioether ends derived from a water insoluble mercaptan and less than 3. mu. eq. /g. oxidizable hydrolysis fragments.

Abstract:
A process for improving the stability of a polyarylate resin by reducing the terminal carboxyl acid group concentration of the polyarylate resin, the process being comprised of melting a mixture of the polyarylate resin and an aromatic carbonate capping agent and reacting the mixture under heat and, if necessary, vacuum until the concentration of the terminal carboxyl acid groups is reduced to less than that of the polyarylate resin prior to end-capping. The process also results in a polyarylate resin with a decreased flammability rating when the aromatic carbonate capping agent is bromine substituted.
