PEKK Thermoplastic Polymer
DESCRIPTION
Cytec Engineered Materials PEKK composites consist of a matrix of poly(ether-ketone-ketone) polymer with aligned, continuous unidirectional fiber reinforcement. Typical fiber contents are 50 – 60% by volume. The tapes and ribbons are fully impregnated with a tailored fiber-matrix interface for optimal performance. Cytec also supplies custom laminates made from the tapes.
The polymer is semi-crystalline with a Tg of 318°F (159°C).* The composites have good structural performance at temperatures in excess of 250°F (121°C). PEKK composites can be used in lightly loaded applications at temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) due to the semi-crystalline nature of the polymer.
PEKK composites possess outstanding flame, smoke and toxicity performance. They also have high toughness and damage tolerance. Laminates and parts can be fabricated from PEKK using a wide range of techniques including autoclave and press molding. Prepregs are offered in various grades of PEKK polymer optimized for select manufacturing methods. Information is available upon request for additional grades of PEKK to use in injection molding, sheet, film or fabric composites.

新しい高剛性・高強度な炭素繊維織布強化PEEK系樹脂素材：TECATEC
2011年7月19日
航空・宇宙産業機限らず、軽量化と高剛性・高強度を両立させる素材の重要度は高まっています。TECATECシリーズは、軽量金属素材と比較して非常に優れた比重対比の機械強度を有しています。
様々な産業分野の軽量化が必要な用途にご使用いただけます。
ENSINGERは、炭素繊維織布にPEEK樹脂、あるいはPEKK樹脂を含浸させて圧縮成形した切削加工用樹脂素材、TECATECシリーズを販売しています。
もともと樹脂の特性が優れたPEEK樹脂やPEKK樹脂を使用していることにより、複合材としては非常に高い剛性と強度を有しており、比重対比で換算すると非常に優れた特性を示しています。さらに、寸法精度が極めて良好で有り、骨折治療で使用されるターゲットデバイスに採用されています。
グラフ：各種金属素材とTECATEC PEKK CW 60の引張強度とその比重比
軽量化を検討する場合には、比重対比した強度が一つの目安となります。上グラフで明らかなように、TECATEC PEKK CW 60は非常に優れた引張強度を有しつつ、同時に比重も1.61と非常に小さいため(超々ジュラルミンでも2.8)、金属素材と比較して抜きんでた強度の比重比を有しています。
TECATECの機械物性
TECATECは、先述したように炭素繊維織布を積層させてつくる、熱可塑性樹脂複合材です。従って、積層方向と織布の方向とでは、物性に差違があります。
注：グラフと物性表で引張強度が異なる理由について
上グラフ中の引張強度の値(800MPa)と物性表(585MPa)とで値が異なっていますが、これは測定法が異なることに起因しています。試験片の厚みが薄くなればなるほど炭素繊維織布による補強効果が顕著になるためと考えられます。仮に585MPaの引張強度とした場合は、比重換算で363MPaとなりますので、それでも他の金属素材よりも大きな値であることには変わりはございません。

An Introduction to the Polyether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) Co-Polymer
Introduction
Polyether ketone ketone (PEKK) is not a new polymer, but has recently seen more widespread industrial use.
Prior to 2011, PEKK’s primary use was for captive production of thermoplastic composites,
It was sold in limited quantities of PEKK to a few small compounding companies. These companies offered PEKK for melt processing, as well as other specialty and composite processes.
In 2011, Arkema began industrial PEKK production, providing a PEKK source and reliable supply chain.
The additional supply of PEKK to the market has created a growing interest in PEKK for a variety of industrial sectors and applications.

An Introduction to the Polyether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) Co-Polymer
What is PEKK?
PEKK is the abbreviation for Polyether Ketone Ketone
PEKK is a part of the high Performance of Poly Aryl Ether Ketone (PAEK) polymer family.
The other PAEK polymers are PEEEK, PEK and PEEK.
The difference in the characteristics of the PAEK polymer family is a result of the sequence and ratio of keto (k) to ether (e) synthetic linkages.
An Introduction to the Polyether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) Co-Polymer
The PAEK Polymer Family
Keto linkages are less flexible than Ether linkages Stiffer polymer chains = Higher Tg
Keto linkages enhance packing efficiency of unit- cells

The melt temperature for the PEKK homo-polymer would be approximately 400°C
This is very near the degradation temperature for PAEK polymers.
Melt processing a polymer with nearly the same melt and
decomposition temperature would clearly be a challenge
What makes PEKK unique among the other PAEKs, is the ability to synthesize isomeric copolymers to affect the Tm and significantly
widen the melt processing window.

The PEKK Co-Polymer
Illustrated below are the terephthaloyl and isophthaloyl repeating units of PEKK copolymers.
The terephthaloyl moieties are straight and rigid
While the isophthaloyl moieties create a structural variation, or “kink”,
in the chain, that affects chain flexibility, mobility and crystallization.

PEKK Compatible Processes
The PEKK copolymers are processable in all of the traditional melt processes (injection molding, Compression molding and extrusion), thermoforming, laser sintering and in processes related to composite tape and fabrics.
Because each of the PEKK polymers have a unique melt temperature and crystallinity kinetics, one or more of the polymers might be better suited for a specific process than the others.

An Introduction to the Polyether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) Co-Polymer
PEKK Sheet/Film
60/40 PEKK has been successfully cast extruded in sheets/film in thicknesses from 6μ to 1.5 mm.
70/30 PEKK has been successfully cast extruded in sheets/film in thicknesses from 50μ to 400μ.
Sheet/films made using these polymer are used as cover films, laminating and thermoformed parts.
An Introduction to the Polyether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) Co-Polymer
Unlike the other Polyaryletherketone polymers the 60/40 PEKK will not crystallize in the thermoforming process
It also can be thermoformed at much lower temperatures
Sheet temperature = 155°C to 180°C
Form temperature of 23°C to 100°C.
The results of laboratory tests have shown that the 60/40 PEKK has the ability of up to a 20 to 1 draw ratio (shown below)
Film of the 70/30 PEKK and 80/20 PEKK have been produced but have not yet been evaluated for their ability to be thermoformed.

Laser Welding PEKK
An Introduction to the Polyether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) Co-Polymer
Laser Welding PEKK
Due to its slow crystallinity kinetics, the 60/40 PEKK is ideally suited for laser welded assembly
60/40 PEKK can be laser welded to any black PAEK polymers.
Unlike most semi-crystalline polymers, the 60/40 PEKK maintain
its amorphous condition after welding.
Not crystalizing during the laser welding process minimizes shrinkage and stress induced warpage
Unlike other Polyaryletherketone materials, the 60/40 PEKK maintains its clarity after the laser welding process.

Laser Sintering PEKK
An Introduction to the Polyether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) Co-Polymer
Laser Sintering PEKK Copolymers
The 60/40 PEKK copolymers are being used in the selective laser sintering process due to:
Lowest Melt Temperature of the PAEK polymers at 305o C
Glass Transition Temperature = 160o C
Heat Deflection Temperature = ~170o C
Continuous use Temperature (CUT) = 260o C
Exposure at the SLS chamber temperatures for extended period of time does not degrade the PEKK
The laser sintering process requires a chamber temperature and a cycle time that inherently allow the 60/40 PEKK parts to approach their full crystalline potential.
In the laser sintering process, PEKK does not degrade like other PAEKs.
Instead the process temperatures alter the crystalline structure of the non-sintered polymer powder, making it more favorable for re- use/recycling in consecutive laser sintering processes.

The PEKK copolymers are identified by the ratio of the terephthaloyl and Isophthaloyl (T/I ratio) used during their synthesis.
There are three available polymer grades; the 60/40 PEKK, 70/30 PEKK and 80/20 PEKK.
These polymers can be used in injection molding, sheet/film extrusion, extrusion of stock shape powder coating, additive manufacturing-laser sintering and for thermoplastics composites.
Due to their unique characteristics, the PEKK copolymers are enabling the use of new process technologies and allowing for create use of older processes, including improvements of thermoplastic composites.

Synthesis and characterization of poly(etherketone ketone) (PEKK)/sodium sulfonatedpoly(arylene ether ketone) (S-PAEK) blockcopolymersDaoji Gan,* Shiqiang Lu and Zhijian WangDepartment of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanchang Institute of Technology, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330034, People’s Republic ofChinaAbstract: A series of well-de®ned poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK)/sodium sulfonated poly(aryl etherketone) (S-PAEK) block copolymers of high molecular weights was prepared by direct nucleophilicpolymerization of hydroquinone with sodium 5,5'-carbonylbis(2-¯uorobenzene sulfonate) (1) andPEKK oligomer (2). Varying the ratio of 1 to 2 used in polymerization can be used to control the degreeof polymer sulfonation, which correspondingly affects the polymer solubility in solvents. Increasingcontent of 1 in the copolymers, slightly decreases their thermal stability which is neverthelessthermally stable up to 400 °C. Two Tgvalues, or one broad Tg, were observed in the DSC measurementsof the block copolymers, indicating the existence of phase separation, which was further proved byphase-separated morphologies as shown in atomic force microscopy images.# 2001 Society of Chemical IndustryKeywords: poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK); block copolymers; sulphonationINTRODUCTIONPoly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEK) are a type of high-performance polymer with excellent thermal, physicaland mechanical properties.1These polymers havefound many applications in aerospace, coating andinsulating materials.2±4In the synthesis of thesepolymers, two main strategies, nucleophilic displace-ment5±7and electrophilic polycondensation,6,8havebeen developed. Functionalization of these polymershas also been pursued for modi®cation of somephysical properties.9±12Sulfonation of PAEK can beused to improve the solubility of these polymers inorganic solvents13±15and lead to applications such asmembranes.9,13,16±20Direct sulfonation by immersingPAEK powder in concentrated sulfuric acid is aconvenient method, but the sulfonation process isdif®cult to control and may result in side reactions ordegradation of the polymers.13±15,21Recently, somepublications have reported the preparation of randomPAEK copolymers with a controllable degree ofsulfonation by nucleophilic polymerization using anappropriate ratio of sulfonated monomer.12,18How-ever, well-de®ned block copolymers containing sulfo-nated groups have not yet been described in theliterature.This well-de®ned polymer structure is interestingbecause it may offer highly controllable physicalproperties through functional groups. In this paper,we report the preparation of poly(ether ketone ketone)(PEKK)/sodium sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone)(S-PAEK) block copolymers by combining the pro-cesses of nucleophilic and electrophilic reactions.PEKK oligomers with controlled molecular weightwere synthesized by Friedel±Crafts electrophilic reac-tions, and block copolymers with varying contents ofsulfonated monomer units were prepared by nucleo-philic polymerization. The solubility, thermal proper-ties and morphologies of these functional polymershave been investigated.EXPERIMENTALMaterialsTerephthaloyl chloride (mp 79±81°C) was a gift fromthe Nanchang Agrichemical Factory (Jiangxi, People'sRepublic of China).
