## Abstract The viscoelastic properties of the amorphous and semicrystalline PEEK and of a PEEK‐based composite (APC2) have been analyzed as a function of the aging time and related free volume relaxation, at temperatures close to the glass transition temperature. The effect of thermal treatments (

✦ Synopsis
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were performed to investigate the effects of longterm physical aging on kinetic parameters of the pharmaceutical drug (Flutab s ). Kinetics parameters such as activation energy (E) and fragility parameter (m) of the glass transition for aged and rejuvenated glasses were determined using different kinetic models. Evidence of variation of E with temperature is presented. It is shown in this work that natural storage of the drug introduced significant physical aging as indicated by changes in the glass transition temperature, activation energy and fragility parameter.
