Their superior properties make them a viable choice for various high demanding applications, including among others aerospace and oil and gas exploration.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">Among the PAEK family, poly(etherketoneketone) (PEKK) offers a unique chemical structure that provides alternative control of its polymer microstructure, favoring precise manipulation of key properties, including among others very high melting and glass transition temperatures, a wide range of crystallization rates and degrees of crystallinity, superior mechanical properties, chemical resistance and low flammability. Because of their extremely high thermal properties and polymorphic crystalline nature, PEKK polymers offer also clear advantages in powder applications over traditional high-performance thermoplastics and other aromatic polyketones. </span></div><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">Due to their superior properties, the introduction of PEKK polymers to traditional thermoplastic processing techniques has been a major commercial target in recent years in search of the development of high performance materials for specialized applications. </span></div><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">This presentation will attempt to provide a general overview of PEKK's physical and chemical properties with specific examples of major applications and areas of current and future development.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small;">Dr. Manuel Garcia-Leiner is a Research Scientist at Arkema's R&D Center in King of Prussia, PA since 2004.
