A novel crosslinkable fluorinated poly(ether ether ketone) with acetylenylbenzene end groups was prepared by solution condensation. The chemical structure of such polymer was confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR. The crosslinking behavior and thermal stability were investigated by DSC and TGA respectively. The DSC thermogram for the first heating run shows a glass transition of 6F-PEEK at about 395 K and a exothermic peak correspongding to the self-crosslinking reaction of fluorinated poly(ether ether ketong) at about 700 K. For the second heating run, the exothermic peak disappered and the glass transition shifted to a higher temperature. The crosslinked polymer shown excelent thermal stability and solvent-resistence. The temperature for 5% weight loss was 774 K and the self-crosslinked polymer was no more disolved by polar solvents, which disolved in before crosslinking, such as DMF, DMAc and NMP. This kind of polymer may be a potential material used as electro-optical devices.
Fluoro-terminated hyperbranched（poly（aryl） ether ketone）（HPOP-PEEK-F） with 4-phenoxyphenyl side groups was prepared from A2（2-（4-phenoxyphenyl）-1,4-diphenol） and B3（1,3,5-tris[4-（4-flourobenzoyl） phenoxy]benzene） with a function group ratio of 0.48:1（A2:B3）.The chemical structure of HPOP-PEEK-F was confirmed by FTIR and（）1H-NMR.The degree of branching（DB） of HPOP-PEEK-F was 0.66 determined by（）1H-NMR measurements.The phenyl ethynyl-terminated hyperbranched poly（ether ether ketone）（HPOP-PEEK-PEP） was prepared by the end-capping approach.The HPOP-PEEK-PEP showed high glass transition temperature than HPOP-PEEK-F,but exhibited lower thermal stability.After cross-linking,the glass transition temperature,thermal stability and anti-chemical corrodibility of HPOP-PEEK-PEP were all improved.
A type of novel crosslinkable poly(aryl ether ketone)s containing pendent phenylethynyl moieties(PEP-PAEK-Fn) were synthesized. The polymers were prepared by copolycondensation reaction of difluoro-monomer with potassium salt of 4-phenylethynylphenyl hydroquinone(PEP-PH) and 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol(BPA). The Mns and Mw/Mns of polymers determined by GPC with polystyrene standard were 46700, 100000 and 1.6, respectively. The resulting polymers were thermally crosslinked at 370 ℃ for 2 h in N2 atmosphere. The glass transition temperature is increased after crosslinking. The cured polymers show a good chemical resistance and high thermal stability up to 500 ℃ under nitrogen.
