Abstract

Poly(aryl ether sulfones) and related materials compromise a class of materials known as engineering thermoplastics. These materials may be fabricated by conventional techniques including extrusion and compression molding, or they may be used as solvent castable amorphous matrix resins for high performance graphite reinforced composites. A variety of high temperature polymerization techniques and schemes were investigated. Several 'segmented' poly(arylene ether sulfone-co-arylene ether ketone) systems produced thermally recrystallizable materials that are both solvent resistant, ductile and of somewhat higher Tg than currently available semi-crystalline systems.
