Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) were used to investigate the secondary relaxation behaviour of poly(ether ether kctone) (PEEK), poly(etherimide) (PEI) and a miscible PEEKPEI blend. The data from each technique, for the y-process, did not lie on the same Arrhenius line, ivhile the rate of molecular motion of the y-process in the blends was largely an average of each component's motions. The B-process in PEI was plasticised by the presence of PEEK.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
