Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a solution blend of a polybensimidazole (PBI) and a polyetherketoneketone (PEKK).SOLUTION: The PBI is mixed with sulfuric acid at a temperature between 40-80°C for 30 minutes to 2 hours to produce a PBI solution, and the PBI solution is cooled to room temperature to form a cooled PBI solution. Then PEKK is added to the cooled PBI solution to form a mixture and that mixture is stirred from 30 minutes to 2 hours at room temperature to form a stirred mixture. The stirred mixture is poured into an excess of water being stirred swiftly to form an aqueous mixture. The aqueous mixture is filtered to isolate the blend. The blend is washed with water and dried. The resulting blend can yield a blend in all proportion from 1/99 PBI/PEKK to 99/1 PBI/PEKK.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method for manufacturing a solution blend of polybenzimidazole (PBI) and polyether ketone ketone (PEKK).SOLUTION: A PBI solution is manufactured by mixing PBI with sulfuric acid at a temperature of 40°C to 80°C over a period of 30 minutes to 2 hours, and a cooled PBI solution is subsequently prepared by cooling the former eventually at room temperature. Next, an admixture is prepared by adding PEKK to the cooled PBI solution, and an agitated admixture is prepared by agitating the resulting admixture at room temperature over a period of 30 minutes to 2 hours. A hydrous admixture is prepared by quickly pouring, into an excess of water, the resulting agitated admixture while being still agitated. A blend is manufactured by filtering the resulting hydrous admixture. This blend is washed with water and dried. The obtained blend is producible as blends having any conceivable PBI/PEKK ratios from 1/99 to 99/1.
