2: POLY( p-XYLYLENE)S 63
2.7 Safety
Not much is known about the toxicity of cycloph-
anes. p-Xylylenes, cyclophanes, and halogen-subst-
ituted p-xylylenes show minor toxic effects [133].
However, the polymer class is extensively used in
medical applications. The cytotoxicity of poly(2(3)-
(4-phenylbutyl)-1,4-phenyleneethylene) has been
tested by in vitro experiments and showed mild
toxicity [18].
