Abstract
Mechanical spectrometry was performed on poly(aryl ether ether ketone) (PEEK) polymer films in order to evaluate the influence of a crystalline phase on the beta-relaxation. The Halpin-Kardos model has been applied to describe the beta dynamic mechanical behavior of semicrystalline PEEK films considered as composite materials. Changes in the low-temperature component of the beta-relaxation induced by the crystalline phase are discussed in terms of mechanical coupling between phases. Moreover, it is found that the pattern of the higher temperature component of the beta transition is governed, in addition, by the rigid amorphous phase.
