[0002] Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), as a high-performance specialty engineering plastic, occupies an important position in key fields such as aerospace, petrochemicals, automotive manufacturing, and engineering machinery due to its excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. Currently, the synthesis of PEEK mainly relies on the nucleophilic substitution reaction between bisphenol and 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone.

[0003] Although the industry has attempted to adjust the melting point, crystallinity, toughness, and thermal properties of polymers by introducing diphenols with different structures, such as bisphenol A, 4,4'-biphenylhydrazine, dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone, and their derivatives, the synthesis routes of these monomers are still based on petrochemicals and have failed to fundamentally address the sustainability challenges. Driven by the global trend of carbon neutrality and sustainable development, the development of bio-based polyetheretherketones (PEEKs) using renewable biomass resources has become a research hotspot in the industry.

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Various embodiments of this application may exist in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as a rigid limitation on the scope of this application; therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values ​​within that range.

Furthermore, whenever a numerical range is referred to herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the referred range.

[0034] The present application will be specifically described below through specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0035] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for preparing bio-based polyether ether ketone, the technical solution of which is as follows: A method for preparing bio-based polyether ether ketone includes the following steps: mixing bio-based bisphenol monomer, alkali, 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone, dehydrating agent and polar organic solvent, refluxing at 30-150°C to remove water, then evaporating the dehydrating agent at 40-150°C, and then carrying out a final polymerization reaction at 150-260°C, followed by precipitation, washing and drying to obtain bio-based polyether ether ketone.

[0036] It should be noted that this preparation method uses renewable bio-based bisphenol monomers as the core raw material to achieve the synthesis of bio-based polyether ether ketones. The entire process requires no special or complex equipment, is simple and easy to control, and can meet the needs of large-scale production. The bio-based bisphenol monomer serves as the core building block of the polymerization reaction. Its phenolic hydroxyl groups, under the activation of a base, form nucleophilic centers that undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction with 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone. A dehydrating agent removes the water content from the reaction mixture, and a polar organic solvent maintains a homogeneous reaction system.

[0037] To ensure uniform reaction, the mixing of raw materials is crucial. In practice, a suitable reaction vessel can be selected based on the production scale. The bio-based bisphenol monomer, alkali, 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone, dehydrating agent, and polar organic solvent are added sequentially in a molar mass-to-volume ratio of 1 mmol:(1-3) mmol:(0.9-1.1) mmol:(24-30.625) g:(5-6.25) mL. The components are thoroughly mixed using mechanical stirring or ultrasonic dispersion to avoid abnormal polymerization caused by uneven local concentrations. For example, in laboratory-scale preparation, a round-bottom four-necked flask can be used as the reaction vessel, equipped with a magnetic stirrer to achieve uniform mixing. In industrial-scale production, a reaction vessel with a mechanical stirrer can be selected to ensure mixing efficiency and system uniformity.

[0038] In some embodiments, the alkali may be one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, pyridine, triethylamine, piperidine, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, or cesium carbonate.

[0039] In some embodiments, the polar organic solvent may be one or more of sulfolane, N-methylpyrrolidone, or diphenyl sulfone.

[0040] The reflux dehydration reaction is used to remove the water generated during the reaction process, shifting the reaction equilibrium to the right. The temperature in this step is controlled between 30-150℃. This temperature range ensures efficient water removal by forming an azeotrope with the dehydrating agent while preventing premature side reactions in the raw materials due to excessively high temperatures. Under the heating conditions of the reflux reaction in this application, the dehydrating agent and water form an azeotrope and evaporate together. After condensation, the azeotrope enters a water separator. Because the density of the dehydrating agent is less than that of water, the water is discharged from the lower layer of the separator, while the dehydrating agent flows back into the reflux reaction apparatus, continuously carrying away water from the reflux reaction system and achieving efficient dehydration.

[0041] In some embodiments, the dehydrating agent may be one or more of toluene, xylene, or anisole. These dehydrating agents have suitable azeotropic temperatures with water and good compatibility with the reaction system, and will not adversely affect subsequent polymerization reactions. The reflux dehydration time is typically 1-6 hours, and the specific duration can be flexibly adjusted according to the amount of water generated in the reaction system to ensure sufficient water removal. For example, it can be any two values ​​between 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, or more.

[0042] The removal of the dehydrating agent needs to be carried out at 40-150℃ and maintained for 0.5-2 hours to completely remove the dehydrating agent from the system. The temperature of this step should be slightly higher than the boiling point of the dehydrating agent, but lower than the starting temperature of the subsequent final polymerization reaction to avoid residual dehydrating agent affecting the structure and properties of the polymer. For example, when toluene is used as the dehydrating agent, its boiling point is approximately 110.6℃, and the temperature of this step can be controlled at 115-120℃ to ensure rapid and complete removal of the dehydrating agent, while avoiding unnecessary side reactions caused by excessively high system temperatures. Under the heating conditions for removing the dehydrating agent in this application, the dehydrating agent is rapidly removed, shortening the removal time and facilitating the recycling and reuse of the dehydrating agent.

[0043] In the final polymerization reaction, bio-based polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polymer chains are formed at a temperature controlled between 150-260℃ for 8-25 hours. This temperature range activates the nucleophilic substitution reaction, allowing the bio-based bisphenol monomer to fully react with 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone to form bio-based PEEK. During the reaction, the presence of a base continuously activates the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the bio-based bisphenol monomer, promoting the continuous progress of the reaction; polar organic solvents provide a stable homogeneous environment, which is beneficial to the growth and extension of the polymer chains. For example, polar organic solvents such as sulfolane, N-methylpyrrolidone, or diphenyl sulfone exhibit good solubility and thermal stability, remaining stable under the high-temperature conditions of the final polymerization reaction.

[0044] In some embodiments, the final polymerization reaction is carried out under stirring conditions, with a stirring speed of 50-200 r / min.

[0045] Post-treatment steps including precipitation, washing, and drying are used to purify the product and remove unreacted monomers, catalysts, and other impurities. In the precipitation step, the reaction product is poured into a solution such as hot water or anhydrous ethanol to rapidly precipitate the polymer. In the washing step, the precipitate is boiled and washed 2-3 times with deionized water to ensure complete removal of impurities. The drying step is typically carried out in a vacuum drying oven at 60-100℃ for 5-12 hours to thoroughly remove residual solvents and moisture from the product, yielding a high-purity, stable bio-based polyether ether ketone.

[0046] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the bio-based diphenol monomer includes the following steps:

[0047] The bio-based phenol monomer, aldehyde-ketone condensation monomer, acidic catalyst and anhydrous ethanol are mixed and condensed at 30-80°C. Then the mixture is filtered, washed and dried in sequence to obtain the bio-based diphenol monomer.

[0048] Among them, bio-based phenolic monomers refer to phenolic hydroxyl compounds derived from renewable biomass resources, which serve as the core raw materials for synthesizing bio-based diphenol monomers; aldehyde-ketone condensation monomers refer to compounds containing aldehyde or ketone groups, which are used to undergo condensation reactions with bio-based phenolic monomers to construct diphenol structures; acidic catalysts refer to acidic substances that can promote condensation reactions, while anhydrous ethanol serves as a reaction medium to provide a homogeneous reaction environment.

[0049] Specifically, this application synthesizes bio-based diphenol monomers through a condensation reaction of bio-based phenol monomers and aldehyde-ketone condensation monomers under the action of an acidic catalyst. The acidic catalyst activates the carbonyl group of the aldehyde-ketone condensation monomer through protonation, enhancing its electrophilic activity and thus promoting the nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction with the ortho- and para-position hydrogens of the phenolic hydroxyl group of the bio-based phenol monomer, forming a diphenol structure linked by a methylene or benzylidene group. Anhydrous ethanol is used as a solvent, which not only dissolves the reactants to ensure system homogeneity but also regulates the reaction rate by adjusting the polarity of the reaction environment, avoiding the formation of byproducts due to excessively vigorous local reactions. The reaction temperature range of 30-80℃ balances reaction efficiency and selectivity; lower temperatures reduce side reactions, while higher temperatures accelerate the reaction process, and this range can be adjusted according to the specific monomer combination. After the reaction is completed, unreacted reactants, catalysts, and trace impurities are removed through a post-processing procedure of filtration, washing, and drying to obtain high-purity bio-based diphenol monomers.

[0050] In some embodiments, the bio-based phenolic monomer is selected from one or more of carvacrol, eugenol, guaiacol, lignin, resveratrol, or thymol. These bio-based phenolic monomers are widely found in renewable resources such as plant essential oils and lignin degradation products, making them abundant and environmentally friendly. The phenolic hydroxyl groups in their molecular structures have good reactivity, while the substituents on the benzene ring can regulate the structure and properties of the polymer through steric hindrance and electronic effects.

[0051] In some embodiments, the aldehyde-ketone condensation monomers are selected from one or more of p-methylbenzaldehyde, furfural, benzaldehyde, p-chlorobenzaldehyde, p-bromobenzaldehyde, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, p-aminobenzaldehyde, anisaldehyde, 1-naphthaldehyde, 9-fluorenone, 9-anthrone, veratral, or benzophenone. The structural characteristics of these monomers directly affect the linkage mode and spatial configuration of bio-based bisphenol monomers. For example, furfural, as a typical bio-based aldehyde monomer, can introduce its furan ring structure into the polymer backbone to increase the bio-based content; the strong electron-withdrawing group of p-nitrobenzaldehyde can enhance the condensation reaction activity; and the rigid aromatic ring structure of 9-fluorenone can improve the thermal stability and mechanical strength of the polymer. The acidic catalyst is selected from one or more of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, aluminum trichloride, or zinc dichloride. Among these, protic acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid have high catalytic efficiency and low cost, while Lewis acids such as aluminum trichloride and zinc dichloride have higher selectivity for condensation reactions. The catalyst can be flexibly selected according to the solubility of the reaction system and the reaction requirements.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mass-to-volume ratio of the bio-based phenol monomer, aldehyde-ketone condensation monomer, acidic catalyst, and anhydrous ethanol is 1 g : (0.3-0.7) g : (0.1-0.4) mL : (2-4) mL.

[0053] Post-treatment steps including filtration, washing, and drying are used to purify the product and remove unreacted monomers, catalysts, and other impurities. The washing step involves washing the filter cake 2-3 times with a 1:1 volume ratio of ethanol and water to ensure complete removal of impurities. The drying step is typically carried out in a vacuum drying oven at 60-100°C for 3-8 hours to thoroughly remove residual solvents and moisture from the product, yielding high-purity, stable bio-based polyether ether ketone.

[0054] In some embodiments, the condensation reaction is carried out under stirring conditions, with a stirring speed of 50-300 r / min.

[0055] Secondly, this application provides the aforementioned bio-based polyether ether ketone.

[0056] This bio-based polyetheretherketone (PEEK) uses bio-based bisphenol monomers derived from renewable biomass resources as its core unit, forming a stable polymer chain structure through polymerization. It retains the high-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and good mechanical strength of traditional petroleum-based PEEK, while improving the material's solubility and processing fluidity through structural optimization of the bio-based monomers. This solves the problem of existing bio-based alternatives struggling to balance high bio-based content with excellent overall performance. Simultaneously, this material eliminates dependence on petroleum-derived feedstocks, reducing fossil resource consumption and environmental impact during production.

[0057] Thirdly, this application provides the application of the above-mentioned bio-based polyether ether ketone in the preparation of high-temperature resistant, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant components.

[0058] Specifically, this application applies bio-based polyether ether ketone to the preparation of high-temperature resistant, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant components, enabling them to maintain structural stability and functional integrity under high-temperature conditions in aerospace, petrochemical, and other fields. For example, it can be used to prepare high-temperature resistant engine seals, chemical reactor liners, and other components, which can withstand long-term high-temperature environments without deformation or performance degradation.

[0059] In addition, the excellent processing fluidity of this bio-based polyether ether ketone allows it to be used to manufacture precision parts with different structures through various molding processes such as injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding, meeting the needs of aerospace, automotive manufacturing, engineering machinery, and electronics industries for component molding precision and complex structures.
