Description
Summary:The relationship between the viscoelasticity and bending recovery responses of PI and PEEK films were studied as well as the effect of physical aging treatment on these properties. The residual elastic modulus ( E r ) and degree of aging of the films were measured from the stress relaxation-recovery experiment using DMA and the enthalpy relaxation endotherms near glass transition temperature using DSC, respectively. The instantaneous bending recovery ratio ( BR + ) of the films was measured from the change in radius of curvature before and after the bending under the condition of 85 °C/85%RH/24 hr. The DMA test was also performed at 85 °C in order to evaluate the progression of the stress relaxation during bending. The E r and BR + values showed good correlation, and higher contributions of elastic response or longer delay of the stress relaxation led to improved bending recovery. Films with BR + values close to zero can be obtained if the conditions of E r
