Does it matter to use different oven (vacuum and normal lab oven) because last time I used the normal oven, the SPEEK polymer was a bit overdried.
You can use RF heater or microwave heater. This is fast, consumes less power and temperature is controllable.
first of all, I think it depends on the degree of sulfonation of your sPEEK and the solvent you used for casting. I'm trying putting it in the 60 C oven for 48 h and then in the vacuum oven heated to 120 C overnight (solvent:NMP, DS around 55%).
I've tried to wash them with large amounts of water for several days yet the pH doesn't even close to 5 to 6. I started to think it's impossible to get pH 7 using this method since we are using a...
