This study investigates the crystallization behavior of high-performance thermoplastics and proposes an effective method to predict key process parameters in polymer processing. By simulating the thermal history of the materials, optimal process parameters can be assigned at specific time points, improving the processing and material properties while avoiding trial-and-error experimentation or post-processing.
This study examines the crystallization behavior of high-performance thermoplastics under both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The accurate prediction of the crystallization kinetics in conjunction with process simulation tools can create new methods for defining the key process parameters in various polymer processing techniques. By simulating the thermal history of the materials, optimal process parameters can be assigned at specific time points, resulting in a more homogeneous process and improved material properties, while avoiding costly and time-consuming trial-and-error experimentation or post-processing. Here, flash differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to capture the rapid crystallization of Luvocom 3F PEEK 9581 NT, and various isothermal and non-isothermal models were applied to mimic its crystallization behavior, highlighting the differential form of the dual Nakamura model as the most suitable option. To accurately predict the absolute crystallinity, the maximum achievable enthalpy was introduced in the model, and weight factors were assigned to the primary and secondary crystallization mechanisms. The differential form of the model is suitable for efficient implementation in process simulation tools, because it is independent of the total crystallization time. This research has the potential to significantly improve the selection of proper process parameters in complex polymer processing techniques, e.g., material extrusion.
