Notes:
The absorption and subsequent desorption of benzene, toluene, carbon disulfide, and chloroform in amorphous and 27% crystalline poly (aryl-ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) were determined. At 35°C, the equilibrium weight gain (solubility) of benzene, toluene, chloroform, and CS2 are 23.5, 19.8, 51.2, and 21.2 wt%, respectively. The initial weight gain is linear with root-time and pseudodiffusion constants for absorption into amorphous PEEK ranging from 0.35 to 9.85 x 10-12m2/s were calculated. The desorption processes are two-step and are controlled by the Tg of the penetrant-resin mixture. The rate of diffussion into the crystalline material is extremely slow; crystalline PEEK reaches saturation (12.5 wt%) after immersion in CS2 (35°C) for several hundred hours but, even after 1300 h immersion, the other fluids do not reach saturation.
