Abstract
PEEK is characterised by high impact and fatigue resistance and T-g of 145 degrees C. Blends of PEEK and PEI have been made and scanning ele ctron micro-graphs of the broken specimen show that the two polymers a re completely miscible in all proportions. The study also shows that P EEK: PEI 50:50 blend, can be used as matrix for composite applications with appreciable enhancement of T-g to 177 degrees C.
