Abstract
The effect of cure on the crystallization rates of polyphenylene sulfi de (PPS) and PPS/carbon fiber composites has been studied by different ial scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystallization rate of PPS increa sed with increasing degree of cure. The carbon fiber acted as a nuclea ting agent to enhance the crystallization rate of PPS. The fully cured PPS seemed to be saturated with nucleating sites formed through the c ure reaction. Therefore, the presence of carbon fibers gave little eff ect on the crystallization rate of the fully cured PPS.
