Article Synopsis
- PEEK/PES blends typically aren't miscible, but using melt mixing at high temperatures with phenolphthalein allows for partial miscibility.
- Differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis show that phenolphthalein helps blend the two materials by shifting glass transitions and creating new side groups on their chains.
- This process not only improves the compatibility between PEEK and PES but also results in enhanced adhesion and crystallization due to the plasticizing effect of phenolphthalein on PES.
