Synthesis and characterization of poly(arylene ether ketone)s containing triazole units through click chemistry
In order to develop a novel process for poly(arylene ether ketone)s with high thermal and chemical stability, a series of poly(aylene ether ketone)s containing triazloe moieties were synthesized via the click chemistry of 4,4'-bis(azidomethyl) diphenyl ketone (BADPK) and bisethynyl compounds (BEAE1-5). The resulting polymers were characterized by using IR and (1)H NMR techniques. The solubility data showed that samples possessed good solubility in highly polar solvents. Molecular mass of these samples was determined by GPC which indicated they exhibited reasonable molecules weights and relatively small polydispersity. Furthermore, thermal stability of the samples was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which indicated that they possessed good thermal stability and high T(g) (100-140 degrees C). All the polymers were amorphous confirmed by DSC and X-ray diffraction (WAXD).
