The study on bisphenol A epoxy resin (EP)/4,4'-Diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) system modified with poly(aryl ether ketone) (PEK-C) by the method of melt blending process is reported. The microscopic phase structure and morphology of impact fractured surface were observed by SEM, the phenomenon of microscopic phase separation and heat resistance property were studied by DMA. The results showed that PEK-C can disperse in the blends in the form of nanometer size (<100nm) particles or in the form of molecular size when the content of PEK-C lower than 10%, and the nano-particles are uniformly dispersed in the blends. The rough region of impact fractured surface with PEK-C modified sample is larger and more obvious, which indicated that toughness of the blends has been improved. The modified system has microscopic phase separation characteristics with higher content of PEK-C, as the same observed result of SEM, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the blends moves towards higher temperature with the increasing content of PEK-C and the property of heat resistance has been improved.

Poly(aryl–ether–ketone) materials (PAEKs) are gaining interest in everyday dental practices because of their natural properties. This study aims to analyze the bonding performance of PAEKs to a denture acrylic. Testing materials were pretreated by grinding, sandblasting, and priming prior to polymerization with the denture acrylic. The surface morphologies were observed using a scanning electron microscope and the surface roughness was measured using atomic force microscopy. The shear bond strength (SBS) values were determined after 0 and 2500 thermal cycles. The obtained data were analyzed using a paired samples t-test and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test (α = 0.05). The surface characteristics of testing materials after different surface pretreatments showed obvious differences. PAEKs showed lower surface roughness values (0.02–0.03 MPa) than Co-Cr (0.16 MPa) and zirconia (0.22 MPa) after priming and sandblasting treatments (p < 0.05). The SBS values of PAEKs (7.60–8.38 MPa) met the clinical requirements suggested by ISO 10477 (5 MPa). Moreover, PAEKs showed significantly lower SBS reductions (p < 0.05) after thermal cycling fatigue testing compared to Co-Cr and zirconia. Bonding performance is essential for denture materials, and our results demonstrated that PAEKs possess good resistance to thermal cycling fatigue, which is an advantage in clinical applications. The results imply that PAEKs are potential alternative materials for the removable of prosthetic frameworks.
