Synthesis of Poly(ether ether ketone)s containing tertiary amine

A functional or reactive PEEK-Poly(ether ether ketone)s containing tertiary amine was synthesized. The product was determined by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, IR spectra and elemental analysis. Thermal analysis of the polymer revealed the glass-transition temperatures (T-g = 119.57 degrees C), a 5% weight loss in air at 386 degrees C. An M-n of 10.4 kD, M-w of 20.2 kD, Polydispersity of 1.95 was obtained from GPC. The Poly(ether ether ketone)s containing a tertiary amine structure can be synthesized as a scaffolds for post-polymerization reaction. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
