Abstract:Relaxation behaviors of BEK, a new engineering plastic with high heat resistance (T
g: 181° C, T
m: 364° C), were investigated. Dielectric relaxation peaks were observed at -83° C and 51° C in 9.8 Hz, and their activation energies were 7 kcal/mol and 19 kcal/mol, respectively. The relaxation peaks were also observed in mechanical measurements. The `chemical structure-relaxation behavior' relationship in BEK and its related polymers suggests that the origins of the high tem… Show more
