The present work aims at investigating the coupling between thermal ageing/degradation and creep behavior of PEKK and C/PEKK composites at 200 °C, above the glass transition temperature (which is close to 160 °C). Ageing tests were carried out at 200 °C, under 5 bar of oxygen conditioned atmosphere. DSC scans and DMA tests were carried out. Tests results discussion were supported by indentation tests and image analysis of the aged specimen cross-section. Coupled oxidation-thermomechanical-creep tests were carried out on C/PEKK samples at 200 °C under a 5 bar O2 environment. The resulting strain response was compared to creep tests carried out on C/PEKK samples at 200 °C under air at similar creep stress. Such comparison allowed to investigate the presence of degradation phenomena in C/PEKK samples. The analysis of X-rays µ-tomography scans allowed investigating the possible occurrence of degradation, and to discriminate between pure thermal and thermomechanical coupling with degradation phenomena.

Abstract
The present work aims at investigating the coupling between thermal ageing/degradation and creep behavior of PEKK and C/PEKK composites at 200 °C, above the glass transition temperature (which is close to 160 °C). Ageing tests were carried out at 200 °C, under 5 bar of oxygen conditioned atmosphere. DSC scans and DMA tests were carried out. Tests results discussion were supported by indentation tests and image analysis of the aged specimen cross-section. Coupled oxidation-thermomechanical-creep tests were carried out on C/PEKK samples at 200 °C under a 5 bar O2 environment. The resulting strain response was compared to creep tests carried out on C/PEKK samples at 200 °C under air at similar creep stress. Such comparison allowed to investigate the presence of degradation phenomena in C/PEKK samples. The analysis of X-rays µ-tomography scans allowed investigating the possible occurrence of degradation, and to discriminate between pure thermal and thermomechanical coupling with degradation phenomena.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
