The incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites has emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing the thermomechanical characteristics of PEEK composite materials.

description The incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites has emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing the thermomechanical characteristics of PEEK composite materials. This study investigates the thermal behavior and kinetics prediction of PEEK/MWCNT composites comprising different ionic liquids (ILs), namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (BMIMHSO4), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (BMIMAc), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (EMIMHSO4). Three non-isothermal methods Coats-Redfern, Broido, and Horowitz-Metzger, were employed to model the thermal decomposition profiles of fabricated composites to calculate the activation energy. The highest decomposition temperature (580°C) was obtained for BMIMHSO4-based PEEK/MWCNT composites. Moreover, a 3%�8% increase in the activation energy was obtained compared to PEEK/MWCNT manufactured without ILs.
