Abstract
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a polyether ketone ketone, which involves placing in contact an aromatic ether which is diphenyl ether, 1,3-bis(4-phenoxybenzoyl)benzene, 1,4-bis(4-phenoxybenzoyl)benzene or a mixture thereof, an acyl chloride which is isophthaloyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, or a mixture thereof, a Lewis acid, and a first fraction s1 of a reaction solvent, so as to form a premix at a temperature T0 less than or equal to 25° C. and placing the premix formed at T0 in contact with a fraction s2 of the reaction solvent, the fraction s2 of reaction solvent being preheated, so as to form a reaction mixture heated to a temperature T1.

Process for manufacturing a polyether ketone ketone, involving:
- placing in contact an aromatic ether which is diphenyl ether, 1,3-bis(4-phenoxybenzoyl)benzene, 1,4-bis(4-phenoxybenzoyl)benzene or a mixture thereof, an acyl chloride which is isophthaloyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, or a mixture thereof, a Lewis acid, and a first fraction s1 of a reaction solvent, so as to form a premix at a temperature T0 less than or equal to 25° C.;
- optionally, maintenance of the formed premix at T0;
- placing in contact the formed premix at T0 with a fraction s2 of the reaction solvent, the fraction s2 of reaction solvent being preheated, so as to form a reaction mixture brought to a temperature T1 ranging from 40° C. to 80° C.;
- and
- optionally maintaining the formed reaction mixture at T1.
Polyether ketone ketone consisting of three molecular mass fractions A, B and C, in which A represents the percentage fraction of molecular masses strictly below 500 g/mol in PMMA equivalent, B represents the percentage fraction of molecular masses ranging from 500 g/mol to 3000 g/mol in PMMA equivalent, and C represents the percentage fraction of molecular masses strictly above 3000 g/mol in PMMA equivalent, characterized in that:
- A+B≤5.0% and A+B+C=100%.
