4,4Ј-bis(Phenoxy)diphenyl sulfone (DPODPS) was synthesized by reaction of phenol with bis(4-chlorophenyl) sulfone in tetramethylene sulfone in the presence of NaOH. Two poly(aryl ether sulfone ether ketone ketone)s (PESKKs) with high molecular weight were prepared by low temperature solution polycondensation of DPODPS and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) or isophthaloyl chloride (IPC), respectively, in 1,2-dichloroethane and in the presence of aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 ) and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). The resulting polymers were characterized by various analytical techniques, such as FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, DSC, TG, and WAXD. The results show that the T g and T d of PESEKKs are much higher, but its T m is lower than those of PEKK. The other results indicate that PESEKKs exhibit excellent thermostabilities at 300 Ϯ 10°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
