          Application No. 10/063,004                                                   

                    30. A method for retrieving data, comprising:                      
                    rotating a storage media having a substrate comprising             
               a single phase plastic resin portion and a data layer                   
               disposed on a surface of the substrate , wherein the plastic            
               resin portion comprises poly(arylene ether) and a styrene               
               material selected from the group consisting of polystyrene,             
               styrenic copolymer(s), and reaction products and                        
               combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing                   
               styrene material(s);                                                    
                    directing an energy field at the storage media such                
               that the energy field is incident upon the data layer before            
               it can be incident upon the substrate; and retrieving                   
               information from the data layer via the energy field.                   
                    40. An optical disk, comprising:                                   
                    a substrate comprising a single phase plastic resin                
               portion, wherein the plastic resin portion comprises                    
               poly(arylene ether) and a styrene material selected from the            
               group consisting of polystyrene, styrenic copolymer(s), and             
               reaction products and combinations comprising at least one              
               of the foregoing styrene material(s); and                               
                    a data layer on the substrate;                                     
                    wherein the data layer can be at least partly read                 
               from, written to, or a combination thereof by a light; and              
                    wherein, when the light contacts the storage media, the            
               light is incident upon the data layer before it could be                
               incident upon the substrate.                                            
                    41. A storage media for data, comprising:                          
                    a substrate having a thickness of about 0.8 mm to about            
               2.0 mm and comprising a single phase plastic resin portion,             
               wherein the plastic resin portion comprises poly(arylene                
               ether) and polystyrene; and                                             
                    a data layer on the substrate;                                     
                    wherein the data layer can be at least partly read                 
               from, written to, or a combination thereof by an energy                 
                    field; and                                                         
                    wherein, when the energy field contacts the storage                
               media, the energy field is incident upon the data layer                 
               before it could be incident upon the substrate.
