The effects of reinforcing Poly ether etherketone (PEEK) with alumina nanofiber have been studied. The nano-composites were prepared by first dispersing the fibre in solvent and then undertaking the synthesis of PEEK. Nanocomposite materials with 1wt.%, 2.5wt.% and 5wt.% of alumina nanofiber have been prepared successfully by dispersing the alumina nanofiber in Sulfolane as solvent and upon sonication for 30 minutes. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron micrographs indicated excellent dispersion and interactions between PEEK matrixes with the added alumina nanofibers. Differential scanning calorimeter shows changes in melting and crystallization point and degree of crystallinity for 1wt.% nanocomposites. The result also indicated that alumina nanofiber serves as nucleating agents in PEEK nanocomposites. The X-ray diffractogram data indicated that the crystallinity of the PEEK nanocomposites was highest for 1wt.% alumina nanofiber. The thermogravimetry analysis, shows that thermal stability for alumina nanofiber/PEEK nano-composites was enhanced compared to that of the pure PEEK.

Fluorene-based poly(imino ketone)s (PIKF) were designed and synthesized by reacting 1,4-Bis-(4-bromobenzoyl)-benzene and 9,9-bis(3-R-4-aminophenyl)fluorine (R: H, CH3 or F). The structures of the resulting polymers were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The thermo and optical properties of PIKF were evaluated. Good solubility of PIKF in ordinary organic solvents such as THF and chloroform was confirmed. PIKF were amorphous at room temperature. No phase transition except for Tg was confirmed in the DSC analysis. PIKF displayed a high glass transition temperature (Tg > 215 °C) in comparison with commercially available poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK Tg = 169 °C). The UV-vis absorption spectrum of polymers exhibited two absorption peaks around 271 nm and 369 nm; The fluorescence spectrum of the PIKF-1, 2 and PIKF-3 showed a maximum emission wavelength at 502 nm and 491 nm, respectively. These optical properties were probably related to the cardo structure of the fluorene moiety placed on the main chain.
