  • Exchange Reactions of Poly(arylene ether ketone) Dithioketals with Aliphatic Diols: Formation and Deprotection of Poly(arylene ether ketal)s
    Macromolecules, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ioannis Manolakis, Paul Cross, Howard M. Colquhoun
    Abstract:

    The Dithioketal derivatives of industrially important, semicrystalline poly(arylene ether ketone)s undergo facile exchange with aliphatic diols in the presence of N-bromo-succinimide to give a range of novel poly(arylene ether ketal)s. These are amorphous and readily soluble in a wide range of organic solvents. Although generally stable under ambient conditions, they undergo rapid and quantitative hydrolysis in the presence of acids to regenerate the original polyketones. The poly(ether ketal)s reported here are not accessible from ketal-type monomers, nor can they be obtained by direct reaction of poly(ether ketone)s with aliphatic diols. The starting polyketones are essentially unchanged after sequential Dithioketalization, Dithioketal–ketal exchange, ketal hydrolysis, and reDithioketalization. Poly(arylene ether ketal)s provide a new approach to the processing of poly(arylene ether ketone)s into carbon fiber composite materials.

  • Reversible, Nondegradative Conversion of Crystalline Aromatic Poly(ether ketone)s into Organo-Soluble Poly(ether Dithioketal)s
    Macromolecules, 2009
    Co-Authors: Howard M. Colquhoun, Philip Hodge, François P. V. Paoloni, P. Terry Mcgrail, Paul Cross
    Abstract:

    Crystalline aromatic poly(ether ketone)s such as PEEK and PEK may be cleanly and reversibly derivatized by Dithioketalization of the carbonyl groups with 1,2-ethanedithiol or 1,3-propanedithiol under strong acid conditions. The resulting 1,3-dithiolane and 1,3-dithiane polymers are hydrolytically stable, amorphous, and readily soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and THF and are thus (unlike their parent polymers) easily characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). GPC analysis of a range of derivatized PEEK samples using light-scattering detection revealed, in some instances, a bimodal molecular weight distribution with a small but potentially significant (and previously undetected) very high-molecular-weight fraction.
