Physical aging of films of poly(ether ether ketone) kept for 2 months at 120ΠC was studied. The extent of aging was evaluated with different techniques. Aged samples show different thermal behavior and exhibit different mechanical, transport, and viscoelastic properties. An attempt was made to estab

Abstract
The viscoelastic properties of the amorphous and semicrystalline PEEK and of a PEEKβbased 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 (physical aging) on the polymer amorphous phase of the three systems is presented. Creep tests approaching the βzero stressβ were performed on samples subjected to different thermal histories. The presence of a second phase, namely crystallites and fibers, determines a loss of the mobility of the polymeric amorphous chains and consequently a decrease of the rate of free volume relaxation.

Physical aging of poly(aryl ether ether ketone ketone) (PEEKK) has been investigated. Heat flow responses were measured after annealing the amorphous samples obtained by quenching the melt into an ice-water bath close to, but below, the glass transition temperature. The extent of aging is related to
## Abstract Polymer modified bitumen (PMB) is a binder obtained by the incorporation of polymer into the bitumen by mechanical mixing or chemical reaction. This study deals with the modification of bitumen with three types of polymers (LDPE, EVA, and SBS) in the presence of filler (CaCO~3~). The mo
