ABSTRACT
Continuous carbon fibre reinforced Poly (phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) composites were prepared using a solution impregnation process and hot-press molding method. The effects of polymer solution viscosities on fibre impregnation, fibre volume fraction and thereby on mechanical properties of composites were studied. The results show that the fibre impregnation and fibre volume fraction decreased with increasing polymer solution viscosities, and the mechanical properties of composites mainly depended on the fibre volume content.
