Preparation And Properties Of Poly (Aryl Ether Ketone) Containing Metallophthalocyanine

Poly(Aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) has achieved remarkable positions among other thermoplastic polymers because of their unique chemical stability, thermo- oxidative stability, mechanical properties at high temperatures and radiant resistance. At first, considerable effort was made to modify their chemical structure, essentially in order to improve their thermal properties. In recent years, more attention was paid to their functionalization. This could be achieved either by chemical modification (graft and copolymerization) or by physical method (blend) introducing functional groups into PAEK. Metallophthalocyanine (MtPc) is a kind of important functional material, already obtaining the application in many aspects, such as, the high dielectric constant materials, the catalyzed material, the information storage material, the electroluminescence material and the nonlinear optics material and so on. At the same time, it has the high thermo-stability and the good chemical stability, which is just match with PAEK. Introducing MtPc into PAEK, it does not only realize PAEK functionalization, but also maintain their respective outstanding performance, and the final product will be one kind of extremely outstanding functional material.In recent years, the MtPc and its derivatives have made high dielectric constant materials to be as the hot spot for people. High dielectric constant materials own the widespread applications such as chip capacitor, the electrically operated installment, including the man-made muscle and so on, and it is required to be with high dielectric constant, and low dielectric loss. Because MtPc has the big conjugate structure, the easy displacement of the electrons under electric fields from the conjugatedπ-bonds within the entire molecule results in high dielectric response. Furthermore, the weak Van der Waals intermolecular forces render the molecular solids with an elastic modulus not much higher than the polymer matrix. In addition, MtPc solids are difficult to process and show high dielectric loss owing to long-range intermolecular hopping of electron. Therefore the people have already introduced MtPc into polymer system by grafting or blending to prepare dielectric constant materials. On the one hand the grafting method MtPc is restricted in the system content, but blend often causes the MtPc to disperse in the polymer substrate, which is not good and leads to the poor use; on the other hand the polymer substrate material performance is not good, and it has limited the material application above.In our works, we have prepared a series of PAEK containing cyano pendants, after under the different metal chloride existence condition, prepared a series of PAEK containing MtPc, and discussed their performance. We also prepared some MtPc/PAEKs compound materials by solution composite. We studied the morphologies of MtPc/PAEKs compound materials, and discussed the contacts between the morphologies and the dielectric properties of MtPc/PAEKs compound materials. Moreover, we reported these materials conductivity, thermal properties, mechanical performance and so on. The main results are summarized as follows:1. We synthesized two kinds of novel bisphenol monomers containing cyano pendants: (3,4-dicyano) phenylhydroquinone and (4-cyano) phenylhydroquinone, through MS, FTIR, NMR and the ultimate analysis has determined their structure. A series of cyanophenyl-substituted poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) have been successfully synthesized from these bisphenol monomers. All these polymers exhibited high glass transition temperatures and excellent thermal stability. All polymers demonstrate better solubility, and the CN-PAEKs solubility is better than 2CN-PAEKs. Those polymers with high molecular weight show good mechanical properties. All the polymers exhibit amorphous patterns.2. A series of novel PAEK copolymer with metallophthalocyanine (MtPc) units was synthesized by the reaction of PAEK containing dicyanophenyl with excess amounts of 1, 2-dicyanobenzene and different metal chloride in quinoline. The series of polymer demonstrates the higher glass transition temperature, the good thermal stability and the good solubility. The chloroform solution of these PAEK copolymer containing MtPc, along with contains the metal the difference, appears the different absorption in the visible light scope, thus the solution show the different color. Along with MtPc in polymer content different, the absorption peak intensity also along with it change, this and NMR, the ultimate analysis result is consistent. The chloroform solution of these PAEK copolymer containing MtPc with different metal content, the fluorescence spectrum is nearly invariable, and only intensity has the slight change, which explains the different central metal having little influence on copolymers.3. We discuss the catalyzed degeneration trichlorophenol (TCP) performance of PAEK containing cobalt phthalocyanine with side chain (P-PAEK-CoPc) and PAEK terminated with cobalt phthalocyanine (T-PAEK-CoPc).The research showed, under the oxidant KHSO5 condition, two kinds of catalysts have the obvious catalyzed effect, and TCP conversion rate increases along with the time increasing, and P-PAEK-CoPc showed the better catalyzed effect, after 6 hours, the TCP conversion rate achieves 70%. As to these two kinds of catalysts, the oxidant KHSO5 is better than H2O2. This material has the possibility to become the catalyst of catalyzed degradation TCP under the harsh condition.4. A series of compound material (CN-ZnPc25%, 2CN-ZnPc25%, S-ZnPc25%, S-ZnPc40%) (wt%) were prepared using the amino substitution zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc-NH2) separately with CN-PEEK, 2CN-PEEKNK and SPAEK. We discussed the relations between the morphologies and the dielectric properties of ZnPc-NH2/PAEKs compound materials. The series of compound materials dielectric constant reached as high as 23 mostly, but dielectric loss was only about 0.7.5. A series of compound material (CN-CuPc25%, 2CN-CuPc25%, S-CuPc25%, S-CuPc40%) (wt%) were prepared using the copper phthalocyanine oligomer (o-CuPc) separately with CN-PEEK, 2CN-PEEKNK and SPAEK. We discussed the relations between the morphologies and the dielectric properties of o-CuPc /PAEKs compound materials. The experiment proved with the compatible increase, the dielectric layer size is small as far as possible and the metallophthalocyanine content increase is advantageous to enhance compound material dielectric properties. The dielectric constant of a series of compound material mostly reaches as high as to about 800, which is higher than that of the ZnPc-NH2 series of compound material obviously, but dielectric loss is no more than 0.8. This indicated the increase lies between the electricity level conjugate structure, which is advantageous the conjugateπ-bonds electrons were very easy to have the displacement under the electric field function in the molecular, causing high dielectric response in the entire molecular.6. Through a series of research, we have proposed the S-CuPc system morphology form process. Firstly, the sulfonic acid of SPAEK and carboxylic acid of the copper phthalocyanine oligomer form the hydrogen bonds, under the stirring condition, metallophthalocyanine nanometer pellets packaged by SPAEK form, and then the structures closely packed by spherules form in the process of drying membrane preparation.
