Abstract
An aryl-ether and/or thioether polymer contains aromatic rings linked to neighboring units Ph X Ph (when Ph is paraphenylene and X is SO.sub.2 and/or CO) through O and/or S and/or a direct link, at least some of said aromatic rings carrying a nuclear suphonamide group having N-aliphatic substitution, preferably with a cationic amino or quaternary ammonium group. A process for making aromatic polymer sulphonyl halides and, thus also sulphonamides, of very low sulphonic acid content, is characterized by working up in substantially anhydrous conditions the mixture resulting from the reaction of an inorganic halide with the corresponding sulphonic acid or salt thereof. The polymer sulphonamides are suitable for separation technologies, especially purification of water by reverse osmosis.
