Influence of isomerism of difluorobenzophenone on the synthesis and properties of poly(arylene ether ketones)

The influence of isomerism of difluorobenzophenone on the efficiency of polycondensation and the properties of homo- and copoly(arylene ether ketones) was studied. The latter were prepared by the reaction of 2,4"- and 4,4"-difluorobenzophenone with potassium diphenolates of bisphenol À and phenolphthalein in N,N-dimethylacetamide. A high content of an admixture of the 2,4"-isomer in 4,4"-difluorobenzophenone decreases the molecular weight of related poly(arylene ether ketones) and has no substantial effect on their glass transition temperature.     

Synthesis and thermal properties of poly(arylene ether ketone)s containing phthalazinone moieties

A series of novel poly(arylene ether ketone)s were synthesized from the reaction of hydroquinone and 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-phthalazin-1-one with 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone in N-cyclohexylpyrrolidinone containing anhydrous potassium carbonate. The polymers exhibited high glass transition temperatures together with excellent thermooxidative stability. The chain structure of these polymers was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction techniques (WAXD), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The experimental results indicated that these “as-made” copoly(aryleneketone)s containing hydroquinone moieties exhibited a block chain structure with segments which mainly consisted of hydroquinone and 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone. These chain segments resulted in crystallites in the polymers although they are thermodynamically unstable. The polymers showed thermal properties comparable to commercial PEEK, but the conditions for synthesis are much milder. The glass transition temperatures and solubilities of the copoly(arylene ketone)s tended to increase with increasing phthalazinone moiety content, while the crystallite melting points and crystallinity appeared to decrease. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Novel electroactive poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers containing pendant oligoaniline groups: Synthesis and properties

We present a series of novel poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers containing pendant oligoaniline groups. A novel monomer containing oligoaniline, 2,6‐difluorobenzoyl aniline tetramer (DFAT), was synthesized by reaction of 2,6‐difluorobenzoyl chloride and parent aniline tetramer and incorporated into the aforementioned copolymers via direct copolymerization with 4,4′‐dichlorodiphenyl sulfone (DCDPS), and 4,4′‐isopropylidene diphenol (BPA) using N,N′‐dimethylacetamide as solvent. The structures of these copolymers were confirmed by FTIR, ¹H NMR, and GPC. Spectral analysis of the copolymers in different oxidation states was investigated via UV‐visible spectra. The copolymers exhibited outstanding thermal stability and good solubility in various organic solvents. Their electroactivity, explored with cyclic voltammetry, was found to increase as the content of oligoaniline in the polymer increased. The electric and dielectric properties of the copolymers were also studied in detail. The electrochromic performance of the copolymers was investigated by electrochromic photographs and transmittance spectra; the color of the copolymer thin films changes from grey (at 0.0 V), to green (at 0.4 V), to blue (at 0.6 V) and to pearl blue (at 1.0 V) and the maximum transmittance change (ΔT) at 700 nm is 42.6% (90.7% ? 48.1%). © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The proton conductivity of films based on sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone) derived from bisphenol A and 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone of various modification degrees has been studied. The conductivity achieves high levels upon incorporation of a large amount of sulfo groups into the polymer. The conductivity of the samples with low sulfonation degrees may be increased via introduction of the nanodisperse zirconium acid sulfate additive.

Isolation,spectra, structure,and ring-opening polymerization of strained macrocyclic aryl(ether ketone) dimer

Macrocyclic arylene ether ketone dimer was isolated from a mixture of cyclic oligomers obtained by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of bisphenol A and 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone and easily polymerized to high molecular weight linear poly-(ether ketone). The cyclic compound was characterized by FTIR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, and single-crystal x-ray diffraction. Analysis of the spectral and crystal structure reveals extreme distortions of the phenyl rings attached to the isopropylidene center and of the turning points of the molecular polygons. The release of the ring strain on ring-opening combined with entropical difference between the linear polymer chain and the more rigid macrocycle at temperatures of polymerization may be the proposed motivating factors in the polymerization of this precursor to high molecular weight poly(ether ketone). © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of soluble copoly(ether ketone)s containing double bonds

A series of copoly(ether ketone)s containing double bonds along the polymer chains were synthesized from the condensation polymerization of hydroquinone with 4,4′‐difluorobenzophenone and 4,5‐bis(4‐fluorobenzoyl)‐1‐methylcyclohexene in sulfolane containing anhydrous potassium carbonate. The presence of methylcyclohexene in the polymer chains resulted in an improvement in the solubility of poly(ether ketone)s in organic solvents such as chloroform, chlorobenzene, and sulfolane. As a result, the conditions for synthesizing these polymers were much milder than those for poly(ether ether ketone). The new copoly(ether ketone)s also showed good tensile properties and reasonable thermal stability. New polyethers containing pyrazine unites were obtained from the cyclization reaction of these copoly(ether ketone)s with hydrazine. The hydrazine cycloderivatives led to an increase in the glass‐transition temperatures and a decrease in solubility in organic solvents. © 2002 Government of Canada.

Side-Chain Sulfonated Poly(arylene ether)s for Fuel Cell Applications

Summary: Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s of high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution were obtained by melt polycondensation of 4,4′-difluorodiphenyl- sulfone and trimethylsilylethers of 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone and phenylhydroquinone using CsF as catalyst. Although a block-like structure of the polymers could be expected from the course of reaction, only a single T_g ranging from 190 °C to 230 °C could be detected by DSC and which depended on the copolymer composition. Contrary to the sulfonation of similar poly(ether ether ketone)s the poly(arylene ether sulfone)s here reported were sulfonated both in the side chain and the main chain. Nonetheless the sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s showed high hydrolytic stability in water at 130 °C.     

Poly(aryl ether)s containing o‐terphenyl subunits. II. Random poly(ether sulfone)s

The synthesis of a new A₂X‐type difluoride monomer, N‐2‐pyridyl‐4′,4″‐bis‐(4‐fluorobenzenesulfonyl)‐o‐terphenyl‐3,6‐dimethyl‐4,5‐dicarboxylic imide ( 3 ), is described. The monomer 3 was incorporated into a series of copoly(aryl ether sulfone)s by polymerization of 4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenol and 4,4′‐difluorophenylsulfone. The incorporation of monomer 3 had an observable effect on both the glass‐transition temperature of poly(aryl ether sulfone)s and the tendency for macrocyclic oligomers to form during polymerization. Replacement of the pyridyl imide group via a transimidization reaction with propargyl amine proceeded quantitatively and without polymer degradation. The acetylene containing copoly(aryl ether sulfone) could be crosslinked by simple thermal treatment, resulting in an increase in the glass‐transition temperature and solvent resistance. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis,isolation, characterization,and properties of small-size aromatic macrocycles for poly(arylene ether ketone)s

A series of macrocyclic arylene ether ketone oligomers from 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone, 2,4′-difluorobenzophenone and 1,3-bis(4′-fluorobenzoyl)benzene were prepared via aromatic nucleophilic substitution according to the pseudo-high dilution principle. Small-size aromatic macrocycles were isolated by silica gel column chromatography with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate as eluent. The chemical structures of these small-size macrocycles were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight–mass spectrometry (MALDI–TOF–MS), IR, ¹⁹F-,¹H-, and ¹³C-NMR, and GPC techniques. Molecular chain length and steric hindrance of monomers affected the product compositions. The NMR results show that there are different chemical shifts in the different ring-size macrocyclic poly arylene ether ketones in spite of having the same repeating unit. The crystallizability and thermal properties of small-size arylene ether ketone macrocycles were also investigated by DSC, WAXD, TGA, and the results suggest that the crystallization and thermal properties are related to their intrinsic chemical structures. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Comb-shaped homo- and copoly(arylene ether ketones) containing hydrophilic groups in side chains

Comb-shaped poly(arylene ether ketones) containing hydrophilic fragments in side chains are synthesized through the interaction of side reactive carboxyl groups of poly(arylene ether ketones) with methyl ethers of poly(ethylene glycol). Films based on these polymers possess tensile strengths up to 89 MPa and relative elongations at break up to 340%.

New poly(arylene ethers) containing side sulfo groups

New Fluorinated Poly(imide siloxane) Random and Block Copolymers with Variation of Siloxane Loading

Several new random and block copoly(imide siloxane)s have been prepared by the solution polycondensation of commercially available 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA) and amino-propyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (APPS) with 4,4′-(hexafluoro-isopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA). The siloxane loading was kept to 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt% in the copolymers. The random copolymers were prepared by a one pot solution imidization technique, and two pot solution imidization technique was adopted for the synthesis of the block copolymers. The diamine ODA and the dianhydride 6FDA composed the hard block segment, while APPS and 6FDA composed the soft block segment. The hard block length was kept constant while the soft block lengths were varied by varying the siloxane loading. Accordingly, block copoly(imide siloxane)s were prepared on increasing the soft block lengths (DP) from 3 to 6, 10, 18 and 36 for fixed hard block length of 22. The resulting polymers have been well characterized by IR, NMR and GPC techniques. Thermal and mechanical properties of the random and block copolymers were compared with the already reported homopolyimide without siloxane moiety.     

Gas transport properties of novel poly(arylene ether ketone)s containing dibenzoylbiphenyl and benzonaphthone moieties

In this work we present the results from studies on novel poly(arylene ether ketone)s, including gas permeability, wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Poly(arylene ether ketone)s containing 2,2′- and 3,3′-dibenzoylbiphenyl (DBBP) moieties were characterized to study the effect of biphenyl substitution on gas transport properties. Gas permeabilities of naphthalene-containing poly(arylene ether ketone)s were also measured. Higher permeabilities were observed for polymers prepared with 6F-BPA, compared to 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene (HPF). The naphthalene-containing polymers exhibited higher permeabilities than the DBBP polymers, except for a polymer having the 2,2′-DBBP and tetramethylbiphenyl moieties. Based on our work, and results reported in the literature, the 3,3′-DBBP polymers showed the lowest permeabilities for DBBP-containing poly-(arylene ether ketone)s. The low permeabilities are due to more efficiently packed chains brought on by greater flexibility of the backbone, compared to the other polymers studied. DMA studies confirmed the higher barriers to rotation which are believed to be responsible for 2,2′-DBBP polymers having similar selectivities compared to 3,3′-DBBP polymers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
