Abstract: Anovel soluble methyl-substituted poly(ether ether ketone) PETMDEK was synthesized for the first time by aromatic nucleophilic substitution polycondensation.Aseries of random copolymers PETMDEK-PEDEK with different compositions were prepared and their properties were studied.The copolymers exhibit changes from crystals→liquid crystals→crystals→amorphous solid transitions with the increase of the content of PETMDEK.The copolymers also change from soluble substance to insoluble one.The thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior of 20% PETMDEK-PEDEK copolymer was characterized by DSC and PLM.

Key words: Poly(ether ether ketone)s, Random copolymers, Thermotropic liquid crystal
