PEEK Blends and Composites

PEEK Blends and Composites, 1st Edition, offers a detailed overview of preparation methods, processing techniques, and practical applications for polyetheretherketone materials. Edited by Kuruvilla Joseph, Suryasarathi Bose, Saritha Appukuttan, and Battula Durga Siva Deeraj, the book addresses the ongoing demand in advanced materials engineering for structured guidance on high-performance thermoplastics. Polymer scientists and engineers gain clear explanations covering the chemical design and physical behavior of PEEK structures.

The volume systematically examines synthesis routes for PEEK along with preparation routines for PEEK-based blends and composite structures. Dedicated sections review interfacial engineering in PEEK-carbon fiber laminates, functional PEEK membranes, and porous PEEK aerogels. Additional chapters trace fabrication methods for 3D printed PEEK and the electrospinning of PEEK-based homopolymers.

By linking foundational chemical synthesis to structural processing methods, the text provides actionable knowledge for laboratory design and industrial manufacturing. The work is designed for academic researchers, industrial researchers, and materials scientists focused on polymer synthesis, processing, and application design.
