摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semi-crystalline article from at least one pseudo-amorphous polymer including a poly aryl ether ketone, such as PEKK, including a softening step, wherein the at least one pseudo-amorphous polymer is heated to a temperature above its glass transition temperature to soften the polymer, and a crystallization step, wherein the at least one pseudo-amorphous polymer is heated to a temperature between its glass transition temperature and melting temperature, the pseudo-amorphous polymer being placed on a mold during either the softening step or the crystallization step before at least some crystallization takes place. The method results in articles demonstrating increased opacity, increased crystallinity, increased thermal resistance, improved chemical resistance, and improved mechanical properties over articles formed by traditional thermoforming processes.
摘要:
A subject matter of the present invention is a composition comprising: (i) from 0.1 to 49 parts by weight of at least one thermoplastic condensation polymer; and (ii) from 51 to 99.9 parts by weight of at least one supramolecular polymer capable of being obtained by the reaction of at least one at least trifunctional compound (A) carrying first and second functional groups with: at least one compound (B) carrying, on the one hand, at least one reactive group capable of reacting with the first functional groups of (A) and, on the other hand, at least one associative group; and at least one at least bifunctional compound (C), the functional groups of which are capable of reacting with the second functional groups of the compound (A) in order to form ester, thioester or amide bridges.
