Abstract

In this paper the evolution of double peak melting behavior of PEEK was investigated for bead foaming purposes. A regular differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a high pressure DSC were used to simulate the double peak generation without and with the dissolved CO 2, respectively, to simulate the bead foaming. The effect of saturation temperature saturation pressure, and saturation time were investigated in this simulation. It was found that the required saturation temperature to obtain an appropriate double peak structure decreases by increasing the saturation pressure.
