采用直接缩聚的方法,通过调节磺化单体与非磺化单体的比例合成出一系列含有1,3,4-噁二唑的聚芳醚砜聚合物。并且通过红外光谱,核磁共振谱,热失重分析仪对其结构进行验证。红外光谱在1 603cm-1出现了CN的特征吸收峰,验证了噁二唑环的结构,又经1 H NMR进一步验证了其聚合物的结构,说明已经成功在聚合物中引入了1,3,4-噁二唑环。热失重有两个明显的失重平台,在300和450℃分别为磺酸基团和聚合物骨架的断裂,展现了良好的热性能,满足作为质子交换膜的基本要求。
The authors presented a novel synthetic route for the imidazolium functionalized poly（arylene ether ke- tone）s, derived from an engineering plastics polymer, a poly（arylene ether ketone） with 3,3＇,5,5＇- tetramethyl-4,4＇-dihydroxybiphenyl moiety（PAEK-TM）. The preparation of anion exchange membranes comprised converting benzylic methyl groups to bromomethyl groups by a radical reaction, followed by the functionalization of bromomethylated PAEK with alkyl imidazoles, i.e., methyl, butyl or vinyl imidazole. The structure of imidazolium functionalized PAEK was proved by 1H NMR spectra. A class of flexible and tough membranes was then achieved by subsequent film-forming and anion exchange processes. The water uptake and hydroxide conductivities of mem- branes are comparable or superior to those of quaternary ammonium（QA） anion exchange membranes. This work demonstrated a new route for non-QA anion exchange membrane design, avoiding the chloromethylation reagent and oreciselv controlling the degree and location of imidazolium grouos.
