Effect of Heat Treatment on the Properties of Polyetheretherketone and its Composite

Abstract:

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a semicrystalline thermoplastic polymer with high chemical resistance, thermal stability and excellent mechanical properties. In the present work, neat PEEK and 3% bioactive glass/PEEK composites were annealed at various temperatures (100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C) for (30 and 60) min and characterized with mechanical and density tests, differential scanning calorimetery and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results manifested bioactive glass powder enhanced the properties of the PEEK matrix. Thermal annealing at (200 and 300 ^°C) had a positive influence on the mechanical properties and density owing to increase in the level of crystallinity, whereas annealing at (100 ^°C) had not effect on the properties.
