The Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars (MWS) relaxation is studied for semi-crystalline polymers poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK), in the range 20 Hz-1 MHz and temperature varying from 80 to 330 degrees C. The parameter is the crystallization condition in the case of PEEK, which is a semi-crystalline polymer considered as a particulate composite. The relaxation found in the semi-crystalline polymers above the a relaxation of the PEEK is ascribed to the trapping of conductive carriers at the interface between crystalline lamellae and the amorphous matrix. The study of PEEK microstructure is based on differential calorimetry and X-rays diffraction. Two lamellae populations have been detected, that depends on the crystallization temperature and its duration. The crystallinity rate is increasing with crystallization temperature and duration. In dielectric studies, the use of the electric modulus instead of permittivity allows us to minimize the ionic conduction and then leads to the appearance of the interfacial relaxation. According to our measurements, the crystallinity rate is not the main factor of the interfacial relaxation intensity, which also depends on the nature and degree of perfection of the lamellae.
