Poly(ether ether ketone)-based (PEEK-based) composites with high electrical conductivity, good mechanical properties, and thermal stability were prepared using multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a conductive filler and the liquid crystalline copolymer of poly(aryl ether ketone) (FPEDEKKLCP) as a processing aid. The composites were fabricated using melt blending, and the MWCNT/PEEK composites with FPEDEKKLCP exhibited an obvious improvement in the measured electrical conductivity relative to the MWCNT/PEEK composite without FPEDEKKLCP. Moreover, the MWCNT/PEEK composites exhibited good mechanical properties and thermal stability after addition of an appropriate amount of FPEDEKKLCP. This is attributed to the good thermal stability of FPEDEKKLCP, wherein addition of FPEDEKKLCP effectively decreased the melt viscosity of the MWCNT/PEEK composites, accompanied by an improvement in the dispersion of the MWCNTs in the PEEK matrix.

Sulfonated Poly

Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (sPEEK) membrane is a promising proton-conducting membrane for fuel cell. However, the performance and lifetime of sPEEK membrane depend on the degree of sulfonation (DS). High DS of sPEEK increases the performance, but the mechanical properties could deteriorate progressively which affect its lifetime. Thus, this study investigated the effect of adding polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) into high DS (80%) of sPEEK through solution blending method toward its physicochemical properties and morphology structures. The PVDF concentration was varied to 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt% relative to the sPEEK content. The existence of hydrophobic PVDF in 80% sPEEK improved the mechanical properties where the water uptake and swelling degree of membrane decreased, whereas the tensile strength increased. The sPEEK/PVDF 15 exhibited the highest proton conductivity (46.23 mS cm−1) at 80°C. Incorporating PVDF into high DS of sPEEK enhanced the mechanical properties which can be used as a proton-conducting membrane for fuel cell that may improve the performance and prolong the lifetime of the cell.
