Inherent viscosities of poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly (ether ether ketone ketone) s were in the range 0.32-0.80 dL/g and number-average molecular weights were in the range 16,100-55,900 g/mol. Poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s were soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, meta-cresol, pyridine, and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at room temperature and could be cast into tough, transparent, and flexible films from their chloroform solutions. Wide angle x-ray diffraction measurements revealed the amorphous nature of poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly (ether ether ketone ketone) s. The glass transition temperature poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s were in the range 185-251 degrees C. The temperature at 10% weight loss, determined from thermogravimetric analysis, of poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s in nitrogen atmosphere was in the range 462-493 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability.
