Abstract
The mechanical properties of glass fiber-reinforced phenolphthalein po ly(ether ketone)/poly(phenylene sulfide) (PEK-C/PPS) composites have b een studied. The morphologies of fracture surfaces were observed by sc anning electron microscope. Blending a semicrystalline component, PPS, can improve markedly the mechanical properties of glass fiber-reinfor ced PEK-C composites. These results can be attributed to the improveme nt of fiber/matrix interfacial adhesion and higher fiber aspect ratio. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
