A phosphrous-containing poly（aryl ether ketone） was synthesized derived from bisphenol-A and bis[4-（4- fluorobenzoyl）phenyl] phenyl phosphine oxide （FPPPO） by nucleophilic substitution reaction. The structure of the polymer was characterized by FT-IR, ^1H-NMR and ^31p-NMR. The thermal property of the PAEK was measured by DSC and TGA.

Series Bi3NbO7/Bi2Zn（2/3）Nb（4/3）O7 （BN/BZN） composites were synthesized through a facile solid state reaction method.

Using aromatic bis（4-bromophenyl） ether and various aromatic diamines as the monomers, a series of novel poly（amine ether）s （PAEs） have been synthesized via palladium-catalyzed aryl amination, which is the Hartwig-Buchwald polycondensation reaction. Their structures were characterized by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1^H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results show a good agreement with the proposed structures. Their general properties were studied by DSC and TG and it＇s obvious that they show high glass transition temperatures （Tg〉200 ℃）, good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures （TD〉500℃） and excellent solubility. The mechanical behavior of these polymers suggested that they could be considered a new class of high-performance polymers.
