description Low-dielectric constant polymers are widely used in various microelectronic materials. With the development of 5G communication technology, there is an urgent need for polymer materials with low dielectric constant at high frequency, good thermal resistance, and mechanical properties. In this study, four novel poly (aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) containing different numbers of methylene groups were synthesized via nucleophilic polycondensation reaction. At 10 GHz, these polymer films exhibit excellent dielectric properties with dielectric constants as low as 2.76. The relationship between the dielectric constant and the number of methylene groups is illustrated by constructing the amorphous accumulation cell model. In addition, methylene groups provided the polymer with favorable mechanical performance, including Young’s modulus in the range of 2.17–2.21 GPa, the tensile strength from 82.0 to 88.5 MPa and the elongation at the break achieved 7.94%, respectively. Simultaneously, the polymer maintains good thermal resistance with a glass transition temperature (<i>T<sub>g</sub></i>) reaching 216 °C. The result indicates that the obtained novel PAEK is potentially valuable in the field of high-frequency communications.
