Poly(ether ether ketone)s (PEEK) are of interest due to their high thermal stability. Most PEEK materials are prepared by aromatic nucleophilic substitution between an activated aromatic dihalide and an alkali-metal bisphenolate in polar, aprotic solvents. We now report the preparation of a PEEK containing an extended fluorocarbon chain in the bisphenol, analogous to that produced by McGrath, et. al which contained a trifluoromethyl group in the bisphenol, and examine the effect on thermal properties.
