The primary purpose of this work is to provide plastics industry professionals with a comprehensive review and compilation of those polymers that contain the aryl ether group in their structure. The development of processes for the synthesis of high molecular weight polyarylethers has led to the commercial introduction of many members of this polymer family. In fact, it can be said that it provided the basis for the emergence of the class of plastics known as high-performance engineering thermoplastics.
