    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the removal of the catalyst in the preparation of high-molecular-weight polyphenylene ethers from monohydric phenols by oxidative coupling reaction with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst complex comprising a metal salt and an organic amine in the presence of a solvent, and removal of the metal ion component of the catalyst from the polyphenylene ether solution, the removal of the metal ion component of the catalyst being carried out by means of high-polymeric, crosslinked cation exchanger resins, which may also be fibrous, characterised in that the cation exchanger is fibrous. The removal of the metal ion component is expediently carried out from a polyphenylene ether solution containing less than or equal to 100 mg/kg of catalyst metal ions per mg/kg of catalyst metal ions.

    Abstract: The catalyst is removed in the preparation of high molecular weight polyphenylene ethers from monohydric phenols, which are alkyl-substituted at the two ortho-positions but not at the para-position and may or may not be alkyl-substituted at the meta-position, by an oxidative coupling reaction with oxygen at from 15 DEG to 50 DEG C. in the presence of a catalyst complex obtained from a copper salt and an organic amine, in the presence of from 1 to 20 parts by weight of a solvent per part by weight of the monomeric phenol, and in the presence or absence of an activator, and removal of the metal component of the catalyst from the polyphenylene ether solution with a complex-forming or chelate-forming compound in aqueous solution, in the presence or absence of reducing and stabilizing substances and assistants for accelerating the interphase reactions and for phase separation, by a method in which the continuous removal of the copper catalyst is carried out in one or more mixer-settler stages at a phase volume ratio of the organic phase to the aqueous phase of from 1:0.1 to 1:1.0, preferably from 1:0.4 to 1:0.6.

    Abstract: (Co)polymers which are composed of one or more monomers from the group comprising (a) the vinyl-aromatic monomers and (b) the ethylenically unsaturated monomers and furthermore contain one or more monomer components (a) or (b), or (a) and (b), as unreacted residual monomers are treated at above the glass temperature of the (co)polymer and in the presence of one or more assistants, which have been added to the (co)polymer. The assistant used is a bicyclic compound of the general formula I where X is a methylene, ethylene, 1,1-ethenyl, 1,2-ethenyl, carbonyl, azo, amino, ether or thioether group which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, carboxyl, carboxyalkyl, an ether group or a thioether group, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, carboxyalkyl or nitrile, R5 and R6 are each hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or carboxyalkyl, and R7 and R8 are each hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, carboxyalkyl, carboxyl or nitrile.
