Abstract:
The invention relates to a quasi-continuous process for the preparation of polyarylene ether ketones by Friedel-Crafts polycondensation of a reaction mixture containing… A. a monomer system comprising… (a) (1) an aromatic dicarboxylic acid chloride or phosgene and (2) a polynuclear aromatic compound containing two replaceable hydrogen atoms,… and/or… (b) a polynuclear, aromatic carboxylic acid chloride containing a replaceable hydrogen atom,… B. a Lewis acid,… C. if desired a Lewis base, and… D. an inert solvent. … The reaction mixture is polycondensed in a first zone with stirring to a maximum viscosity of 2000 mPa.s, subsequently conveyed through a second, vertical, unstirred zone in a graft flow by means of gas pressure, during which it is fully polycondensed, and finally discharged continuously.

Abstract:
The invention relates to thermoplastic moulding compounds based on a heat-resistant plastic which contains, as filler, 0.5 to 50 % by weight of an oxide of an element from main group III to V, a salt of the oxo-acid of an element from main group III to V or a compound which forms an oxide or salt of this type when heated. The moulding compounds are suitable for the production of interior parts of passenger vehicles, in particular aircraft, of low smoke density and low heat output in the event of fire.
