Abstract

New aromatic poly(ether-ketone)s containing hexafluoroisopropylidene groups have been prepared by aromatic nucleophylic displacement reaction of the potassium salts of aromatic dihydroxy compounds containing fluoren, 1,3,4-oxadiazole or phenylquinoxaline rings with 2,2-bis[4-(4-fluorobenzoylphenyl)hexafluoropropane. These polymers were readily soluble in various organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform and gave flexible films by casting such solutions. Their glass transition temperatures (Tg) were in the range of 189–222°C and they were thermally stable up to 480°C. The polymer films displayed low dielectric constants, in the range of 2.8 – 3.2, and good mecanical properties, with tensile strength in the range of 46 – 61 MPa and elastic modulus of 1.4 – 1.6 GPa.
