Implants for surgery — Differential scanning calorimetry of poly ether ether ketone (PEEK) polymers and compounds for use in implantable medical devices

Implants chirurgicaux — Calorimétrie par balayage différentiel des polyéthercétones, polymères et composés pour l'utilisation dans les dispositifs médicaux implantables

Abstract / scope

ISO 15309:2013 specifies a method for the thermal analysis of Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK) that is for use in the manufacture of implantable medical devices, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

The transition temperatures to be determined are the glass transition temperature (Tg), the melting temperature (Tm) and the crystallization temperature on cooling (Tc).
