Notes:
A novel method for crosslinking polyetheretherketone via imine formation at carbonyl groups is presented. In polyetheretherketone these Schiff bases form short, stiff crosslink junctions which are stable up to 630°C. Dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of polyetheretherketone and imine crosslinked polyetheretherketone are reviewed. A large reduction in the temperature sensitivity of the material stiffness has been achieved. Increases in the glass transition temperature from 143°C to greater than 280°C have been obtained.
