In this study, polyetheretherketone composites were compounded using a two-screw extruder followed by injection moulding. The effects of multi-fillers on the mechanical properties and crystallization performances were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicate that the addition of fillers slightly increases the crystallization temperature and crystallinity. Compared to neat polyetheretherketone, the incorporation of inorganic filler leads to a significant improvement in matrix hardness, matrix stiffness and a slight increase in tensile strength. However, the material ductility, the impact strength and the fracture toughness of polyetheretherketone composites decrease. Fractography analyses show that the addition of fillers restraints the ductile deformation of polymers, which is responsible for the reduction of material ductility, impact strength as well as fracture toughness of polyetheretherketone composites.
