نبذة مختصرة : Silane-terminated poly(ether ether ketone) oligomers were synthesized and grafted onto wollastonite (W) particles. The prepared grafted-wollastonite particles (g-W) were then incorporated into PEEK matrix via melt processing. Properties of the PEEK composites were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), universal tester and rheometer. The researchers found the mechanical properties of the PEEK/g-W composites were markedly enhanced, complex viscosity of the PEEK/g-W composites increased, and both the peak crystallization temperature (Tc) and crystalline fraction (χc) of the PEEK composites with g-W were significant higher compared with those of the PEEK composites with W. It is our belief that these results are due to the strong interaction between the grafted-wollastonite particles and the PEEK matrix.
