β¦ Synopsis
The transport of fluids in the semicrystalline polymer, poly(ary1 ether ether ketone) (PEEK), was investigated. Both solubility and rate of penetration of toluene into PEEK are markedly increased by the application of an external stress. The induction period (i.e., the time for the sorption to begin) is a function of applied stress as well as temperature and crystallinity. At 22Β°C in 29% crystalline PEEK the induction period was reduced from more than 2000 h to approximately 10 h whereas the solubility of toluene was increased from 9 to 44 wt % upon the application of an external tensile stress of 30 MPa. A critical stress (i.e., a stress value below which the stress-enhanced effects are not observed) was determined. The critical stress is a strong function of crystallinity and temperature.

We have established time-temperature transformation and continuousheating transformation diagrams for poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) and PEEK/ poly(ether-imide) (PEI) blends, in order to analyze the effects of relaxation control on crystallization. Similar diagrams are widely used in the field of t
The sorption/desorption of carbon disulfide into/from PEEK as a function of crystallinity and temperature was investigated. The sorption curves of carbon disulfide into PEEK show only two major regions: (a) an increase of penetrant weight with time, and (b) a limiting equilibrium value (solubility).
