  Abstract

  The transformation processes used for thermoplastic composites, have been increasing their complexity, while incorporating new high demanding materials. From the aeronautic and medical sector, with their restrictions and specific demanding needs. The PAEK materials have been promoted and deeply applied due to their high temperature stability and their chemical resistance. In this research, the work has focussed on the use of the reinforced 40%CF PEEK process through injection moulding. In these over injection moulding processes the joint between 40%CF PEEK and other materials such as Aluminium, or reinforced PA and PEEK has been studied. As well as the adhesion between them and the variation generated on the mechanical properties. It has been observed that this joint is far better between thermoplastic materials than between metals and thermoplastic, this is due to the fact that even tough the PEEK has high processing temperatures, these are not relevant chemically speaking for metals such as Aluminium. Limiting the forces of the interphase to the physical and mechanical interaction between both materials. Nevertheless, in the case of the thermoplastic over injected parts several parameters have been observed to be affecting the final properties of the joint. Firstly, the over injected angle, obtaining higher mechanical properties as the angle increases as well as the contact surface. And the effect of the roughness of the overinjected part, having these a direct impact on the final mechanical properties.
