abstract = {The phase diagram for the thermoreversible gelation of
poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) in 4-chlorophenol (4CP) was
constructed over broad temperature and concentration ranges,
revealing that PEEK is capable of dissolving and forming
gels in both 4CP and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) up to a
concentration of 25 wt $\%.$ Highly porous aerogels of PEEK
were prepared through simple solvent exchange followed by
one of two drying methods of solvent removal from the wet
gel: freeze-drying or supercritical CO2 fluid extraction
(SC-drying). The field-emission scanning electron microscopy
analysis showed that gelation of PEEK in 4CP, followed by
SC-drying, produced aerogels with well-defined lamellar
aggregates as compared to less ordered aggregates formed
from DCA. Mechanical properties (in compression) were shown
to improve with increasing density, resulting in equivalent
compressive moduli at comparable density, regardless of the
preparation method (gelation solvent selection,
concentration variation, or drying method). Nitrogen
adsorption–desorption isotherms indicate that PEEK
aerogels are comprised of mesopores (2–50 nm diameter
pores) formed from stacked crystalline lamella. PEEK
aerogels prepared using SC-drying exhibit higher
Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas than freeze-dried
aerogels of comparable density. The ultra-small-angle X-ray
scattering/small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)/wide-angle
X-ray scattering analysis revealed a hierarchical morphology
of the PEEK aerogels with structural features from PEEK
crystallites to agglomerates of stacked lamella that spanned
a wide range of length scales. SANS contrast-matching
confirmed that the morphological origin of the principle
scattering feature in PEEK aerogels is stacked crystalline
lamella. Nitrogen sorption measurements of porosity and the
specific surface area of the PEEK aerogels were correlated
with the SAXS analysis to reveal a remarkably high surface
area attributed to the platelet-like, lamellar morphology.
Contact angle and contact angle hysteresis (CAH) revealed
that low-density PEEK aerogels (ρ < 0.15 g/cm3) have water
contact angles above the superhydrophobicity cutoff angle
(>150°) and a very low CAH near 1°.},
