The development of physical aging in four amorphous poly(aryl ether ketone)s at temperatures below the glass transition temperature, Tg, was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The change in enthalpy lost on aging, determined by scanning through Tg, was used to determine the kinetics of the aging process through fitting to the Cowie–Ferguson model. The kinetics of aging were found to depend on the ketone–ether ratio as well as the substitution pattern of the polymers. The maximum enthalpy lost at equilibrium, Δ H∞, was found to be a linear function of the change in heat capacity at Tg, Δ Cp(Tg), and the degree of supercooling, Δ T. A composite curve incorporating Tg values from physical aging and dynamic mechanical studies, covering 15 decades, could be fitted to the Volger–Fulcher equation and demonstrated that physical aging is an extension of the glass forming process.

AbstractIn the present study, dielectric and thermal properties of poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK)-nanocomposites with varying weight percentage of magnesium oxide (MgO) have been reported. The thermal properties of PAEK/MgO nanocomposites were studied using differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, thermo-mechanical analysis and thermal conductivity. Transmission electron microscopy of the developed nanocomposites shows agglomerate-free dispersion of MgO nanoparticles in PAEK matrix. From the dielectric properties, dielectric constant of 13 was achieved for 10 wt% PAEK/MgO nanocomposite at 230°C. Further, minimum tan δ and maximum volume resistivity were found for 10 wt% PAEK/MgO nanocomposite. Data from thermal studies indicate that the incorporation of MgO into PAEK significantly enhanced the glass transition temperature and slightly deteriorated the thermal stability, char yield, and flame-retardant properties. Also, highest thermal conductivity and lowest coefficient of thermal expansion were achieved at 10 wt% of the MgO content. An excellent combination of both dielectric and thermal properties of the PAEK/MgO nanocomposites developed in the present study finds its potential application in microelectronics and electrical insulation in power equipments.

AbstractTwo novel poly (aryl ether ketone)s with anthracene moieties in the backbone were synthesized through the conventional nucleophilic aromatic substitution polycondensation for the first time, by using a new bisfluoro monomer, 9,10-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl) anthracene (AnBF). The structures of obtained polymers were confirmed by NMR, IR and UV characterizations. The polymers have high molecular weight and show good solubility in common organic solvents. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) indicates that they are vitrified polymers with high glass transition temperatures above 188° Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that these polymers have good thermal stability in nitrogen atmosphere with a 5% weight loss (TGA-5%) above 465°.
