Abstract

ABSTRACTPrevious work investigated the processing/structure/property relationships for solution spun composite fibers of rodlike poly(p-phenylene benzobisthiazole) [PPBT] with nylon 6,6 [N66] and poly(ether ether ketone) [PEEK] [1]. Evidence that these composite fibers were effectively reinforced by a network-like structure of PPBT was given. In the present investigation, the morphology and properties of wet, as-spun, and heattreated PPBT/nylon 6,6 and PPBT/PEEK composite fibers are contrasted to gain insight into the structure/property relations which result from these post-spinning processes. It is concluded that heat-treatment is simply a means of perfecting the network structure, thereby enhancing the tensile properties of the composite fibers.
