Poly(arylene ether ketones): Thermostable, Heat Resistant, and Chemostable Thermoplastics and Prospects for Designing Various Materials on Their Basis

Abstract

— Published data on the synthesis and properties of poly(arylene ether ketones) combining excellent thermal stability and good heat and chemical resistance with unique mechanical and electrophysical characteristics are summarized. Particular attention is focused on the synthesis of poly(arylene ether ketones) by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of activated aryl dihalide, and the possibility of tuning the diverse properties of the polymers is shown.
