Synthesis and Characterization of Poly aryl ether ketone Copolymers

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly (aryl ether ketone) Copolymers 

College of Chemistry, Jilin University, Changchun, China 

In this chapter, two general synthetic methods of poly (aryl ether ketone) copolymers were introduced, that is, (1) nucleophilic substitution step copolycondensation of at least two different monomers of bisphenol and at least one dihalobenzoid compound or at least one monomer of bisphenol and at least two different dihalobenzoid compounds (2) electrophilic Friedel-Crafts copolycondensation of at least two different monomer of diphenyl ether and terephthaloyl chloride or at least one monomer of diphenyl ether and terephthaloyl chloride as well as isophthaloyl chloride. Some representative monomers were included. By the method (1), the synthesis and characterization of structural poly (aryl ether ketone) copolymers—poly (ether ether ketone)-poly (ether ether ketone ketone) (PEEK-PEEKK), poly (ether ether ketone)-poly (ether biphenyl ether ketone) (PEEK-PEDEK), poly (ether ether ketone ketone)-poly (ether biphenyl ether ketone ketone) (PEEKK-PEDEKK), poly (ether ether ketone)-poly (ether ether ketone biphenyl ketone) (PEEK-PEEKDK) and poly (ether biphenyl ether ketone)-poly (ether biphenyl ether ketone biphenyl ketone) (PEDEK-PEDEKDK) were discussed. The s5mthesis and characterization of the functional PAEK copolymers, such as liquid crystal poly (aryl ether ketone) copol5oners, poly (aryl ether ketone) copolymers with pendent group of low dielectric constant and poly (aryl ether ketone) copolymers with crosslinking moieties were also discussed in details. These PAEK copolymers showed a lot of special performance and can maybe be applied in optical waveguides, microelectronics, display devices, membrane materials and so on.
