Crystallization of poly(aryl‐ether‐ether‐ketone): Effect of thermal history of the melt on crystallization kinetics

Abstract: Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and optical microscopy were used to investigate the effect of the thermal history of the melt on the crystallization of a commercial sample of poly(ary1-ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK). Heating a film of PEEK at a temperature above the melt temperature for various periods of time changes the nucleation and crystal growth rate upon cooling the sample. Destruction of existing nuclei, formation of new nuclei, chain branching, cross linking, and chemical degradation of the macrom… Show more

“…The results are consistent with results available for the PEEK semicrystalline thermoplastic matrix. 9,10,15 On the contrary, a 13% increase of the crystallinity degree, as compared to the reference material, was observed for the TT1 thermal treatment. However, as this small increase lies within the expected experimental errors, during DSC tests, the degrees of crystallinity of reference and TT1 thermal-treated material might be considered to remain unaffected by the thermal treatment.…”

“…As expected, 14,15 thermal treatments prior to the consolidation of the laminate affect the degree of crystallinity of the C/PPS composite. An overview of the degrees of crystallinity obtained for the thermal treatments applied in the present study is given in Table II.…”

“…Should the crystallization kinetics of PPS be sensitive to these experimental conditions then it becomes difficult to compare the results of the various studies. Furthermore, the crystallization behavior of several thermoplastic polymers is known to be sensitive to their thermal history (14)(15)(16)(17)(18). An understanding of the effect of the melt conditions on the crystallization behavior of PPS is therefore of interest.…”
