Uniaxial tension tests to the yield point were performed on phenolphthalein polyether ketone (PEK-C) from room temperature to near the glass transition temperature (T-g) at a constant rate of 0.02 min(-1). At room temperature, some measurements were also made at strain rates from 0.002 min(-1) to 2 min(-1). Yield stress was a linear function of temperature and log strain rate. The temperature and the strain rate dependence of yield stress could be modeled using Eyring theory. Yield energy was found to be a linear function of temperature. Young’s modulus, yield strain, elastic strain, and plastic strain all decreased with temperature.
