The present invention addresses the problem of providing a fluorine-containing aromatic polymer; a method for producing the fluorine-containing aromatic polymer; etc. The problem can be solved by: a polymer having a monomer unit represented by formula (1) (wherein R.sup.1 in each occurrence is independently a halogen atom, NR.sup.11R.sup.12 (wherein R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are independently a hydrogen atom or an organic group), or an organic group; n1 is an integer of 0 to 4; two R.sup.1s that can be present in the ortho-positions may form a ring together with two carbon atoms on the adjacent benzene ring, wherein the formed ring may have an organic group as a substituent; and L.sup.1 is a single bond, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, -L.sup.11-O—, —O-L.sup.12-O—, -L.sup.13-S—, or —S-L.sup.14-S— (wherein L.sup.11 to L.sup.14 are each independently an alkylene group optionally having one or more substituents); etc.

Aspects of the present disclosure generally describe polyarylether ketones and methods of use. In some aspects, a composition includes one or more polymers of formula (IV): ##STR00001##

Poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK) composites include reinforcing fibers in a PEKK polymer matrix that includes a PEKK polymer. It was surprisingly discovered that by washing unneutralized PEKK polymer powder with an acid or base, the melt stability of the PEKK polymers can be improved, as compared with PEKK polymers prepared by conventional methods. The PEKK composites are especially well-suited for fabrication of thick composite parts where melt stability is especially important.
