Abstract: A molded article includes a polymer matrix of crosslinking an aliphatic polyketone with at least one diamine source as a crosslinking agent to form imine groups. The diamine source is selected from the group consisting of di(aminophenyl) compounds in which the two aminophenyl rings are linked to each other through an aliphatic group having a carbocyclic residue, diamine compounds, saturated alicyclic compounds having at least two primary amine groups, and oligo-/polymers containing these incorporated, and mixtures thereof. The molded article further includes at least one flame retardant.

Abstract: A device for storage, generation, transmission, distribution and/or other use of electrical energy, comprising a flame retardant molded article, comprising a polymer matrix containing a crosslinked aliphatic polyketone (PK) in combination with at least one flame retardant and to a method for improving the flame retardant properties of molded articles for electrical devices. In addition electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, power tools and devices for power generation and to parts therof, comprising a flame retardant molded article, comprising a polymer matrix containing a crosslinked aliphatic polyketone (PK) in combination with at least one flame retardant.

Abstract: A moulding including a matrix obtained from a reaction of a polyaryletherketone (PAEK) with at least one crosslinker capable of thermal crosslinking with keto groups of the PAEK to form at least two imine groups per crosslinker molecule. The crosslinker is selected from oligomers/polymers which have at least two amide groups or at least one amide group and at least one primary amino group or at least two imide groups or at least one imide group and at least one primary amino group, saturated alicyclic compounds which are different from the oligomers/polymers and have at least two primary amino groups, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A molding comprising a matrix from the crosslinking of an aliphatic polyketone with at least one diamine source as crosslinker with formation of imine groups, or a polymer mixture comprising at least one polyketone (PK) and at least one crosslinker, in which the diamine source and the at least one crosslinker are selected from di(aminophenyl) compounds in which the two aminophenyl rings are joined to one another via an aliphatic group which has a carbocyclic radical, diamine compounds selected from compounds of the formulae (I), (II) and (III), oligomers/polymers which have at least two amide groups, saturated alicyclic compounds which have at least two primary amine groups and oligomers/polymers which comprise them in incorporated form, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a method for the production of a crosslinked molded body containing polyaryletherketone (PAEK), comprising the steps of (a) providing a mixture comprising a PAEK and a crosslinker, (b) preparing a molded body from the mixture, and (c) thermally treating the molded body at a temperature at which PAEK crosslinks, thereby obtaining the crosslinked molded body, and wherein the crosslinker is a di(aminophenyl) compound comprising two aminophenyl rings, wherein the two aminophenyl rings are joined together via an aliphatic group having a carbocyclic rest.
