Abstract New poly (arylene ether) s (PAEs) with both transparency and heat-resistance were prepared by a polycondensation of FBPODS, an ordered-sequence aromatic dihalide, and cardo typed aromatic diols containing fluorene and/or adamantane moiety and also non- cardo typed 1, 5-naphthalene diol. The resulting polymers had their glass transition temperatures ranged from 202 to. Based on TGA data, they exhibited excellent thermal ...
