Abstract

AbstractHigh temperature processing thermoplastic polymers, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyethersulphone (PES), were melt blended with carbon fibers (CFs) to make composites. These composites were investigated for their mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Mechanical properties that are expressed in terms of storage modulus, loss, and damping were enhanced with the addition of CFs. Thermal properties were determined by DSC and TGA. These methods help to understand the effects of fiber content and fiber–matrix adhesion in the composites. Composites were also tested for their electrical and thermal conductivity because CFs leave the composites thermally and electrically conductive. CFs enhanced the crystallinity of the PEEK appreciably that in turn influenced thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and the stiffness of PEEK/CF (composites of PEEK with CFs). PES/CF (composites of PES with CF) shows a different behavior due to the amorphous nature of PES. The work involves one filler and two different matrices, and so it provides an interesting comparison of how matrix morphology can influence the properties of composites. POLYM.
