Abstract:
The method includes the steps of functionalizing a polyaryletherketone (PAEK) polymer, and blending the PAEK polymer with water to form a sizing composition. The method may further include the step of applying the sizing composition to a fiber. The method may further include the step of heating the fibers, coated with sizing composition, for example to between 300° C-400° C. In some methods, the functionalized PAEK polymer comprises functionalized polyetherketoneketone (PEKK). In yet other methods, the functionalized PAEK polymer comprises sulfonated PEKK (sPEKK).

Claim (Index 1):
A method of applying a sizing composition to a target material, the method comprising the steps of:\n functionalizing a polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) polymer by sulfonation to form sPEKK; combining the sPEKK with water to form a sizing composition; applying the sizing composition to the target material; heating the sizing composition applied to the target material to at least 150\u00b0 C. to evaporate the water in the applied sizing composition, wherein the applied sizing composition applied to the target material is water soluble after the step of heating to evaporate.
