Thermal properties of poly(ether ether ketone ketone) (PEEKK)/poly(ether biphenyl ether ketone ketone) (PEDEKK) copolymers were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The glass transition temperature ( T g ) increases from 154°C to 183°C as the content of PEDEKK units increases. The melting point ( T m ) of the copolymers varied in the range between 314°C and 409°C and showed the behavior of eutectic type copolymer. From the investigation of the crystallization behavior of the copolymers, it was found that the cold‐crystallization temperature ( T c ′ ) of the amorphous copolymers assumes a maximum value for the copolymer with a mole fraction of the PEDEKK segment ( n B ) of about 0.6, isothermally crystallized PEEKK and the PEEKK/PEDEKK copolymer exhibit double‐melting behavior.
