Abstract: 
Over the last half-century, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has emerged as a widely adopted thermoplastic polymer, primarily due to its lower density, exceptional mechanical properties, high-temperature and chemical resistance, and biocompatibility. PEEK and its composites have found extensive applications across various fields, including machinery, aerospace, military equipment, electronics, and biomedicine, positioning themselves as promising substitutes for traditional metal structures. Nevertheless, achieving optimal performance and functional molding of PEEK and its composites presents a formidable challenge, given their inherent characteristics, such as semi-crystallinity, high melting temperature, heightened viscosity, low dielectric coefficient, and hydrophobic properties. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of the molding methods and processes of PEEK and its composites, including extrusion molding, hot compression molding, injection molding, and 3D printing. We also introduce typical innovative applications within the fields of mechanics, electricity, and biomedicine while elucidating methodologies that leverage the distinctive advantages of PEEK and its composites. Additionally, we summarize research findings related to manipulating the properties of PEEK and its composites through the optimization of machine parameters, process variables, and material structural adjustments. Finally, we contemplate the prevailing development trends and outline prospective avenues for further research in the advancement and molding of PEEK and its composites.

概要:聚醚醚酮(PEEK)及其复合材料由于具有低密度、强力学性能、耐高温、耐腐蚀以及优良生物相容性的材料优势,在机械、航空航天、军事装备、电子和生物医学等领域均获得了广泛的应用,成为传统金属材料的理想替代品。然而,聚醚醚酮及其复合材料的半结晶、高熔点、高粘度、低介电系数和疏水性的固有特性限制了其高性能化和功能化成型。本文对聚醚醚酮及其复合材料的成型工艺与方法进行综述:阐述结合挤出成型、热压成型、注射成型和3D打印成型的工艺特点与聚醚醚酮的材料特性开发出的各类功能性复合材料与结构;总结并分析聚醚醚酮及其复合材料在机械、电学和生物医学领域的典型创新应用;归纳通过优化成型参数、工艺变量和材料结构实现聚醚醚酮及其复合材料服役性能调控的创新研究结果;展望聚醚醚酮及其复合材料成型方法的发展趋势,探讨其进一步的研究方向。
