Epoxy resins with various ratios from two kinds of curing agents, ethylenediamine (EDA) and N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine (MeEDA), were prepared. In order to examine the strain rate and temperature dependence of the shear yield strength and the shear strength, test specimens were subjected to shear d

β¦ Synopsis
The mechanical properties of polyetheretherketone and polyetherketone were studied as a function of strain rate and temperature in the ranges 10 -3 to 103s -1 and 20-200~ At temperatures below the glass transition temperature, Tg, the strain-rate sensitivity of both polymers was found to be almost independent of temperature with a value of ~4MPa per decade of strain rate and the behaviour was well described by an Eyring relationship leading to an activation volume of ~ 1 nm 3. Above Tg, X-ray and differential scanning calorimetry studies show that cold-crystallization phenomena play a very important part in the polymer behaviour, leading to an increase of yield stress with increasing temperature. The crystallization was found to be highly strain-rate dependent with no increase in crystalline content occurring in quasi-static tests and increases of up to 20% in higher rate tests. Much of the data have been gathered using novel test equipment which is described in the paper.
