Abstract: | Novel high performance aluminum nitride (AlN)/poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) composites containing 0-50 wt.% fractions of AlN were prepared by solution blending method followed by hot pressing to evaluate their density, melting temperature, crystallization, thermal stability, morphological behavior and Vickers hardness by using different characterization techniques. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicated that the AlN particles are very effective nucleating agent, which results in increase in melting point, hot crystallization temperature and crystallinity of composites as the AlN content increases. Thermogravimetric analysis showed enhanced thermal stability of the composites with respect to PEEK. Density and X-ray diffraction techniques showed that crystallinity of the composites increases as the wt.% of AlN content increases in polymer matrix. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that AlN particles were well dispersed with no porosity in composites. Vickers hardness of the samples increased from 24 kg/mm2 for the pure PEEK to 35 kg/mm2 for AlN/PEEK composites. |
