The mechanical properties of glass fiber‐reinforced phenolphthalein poly(ether ketone)/ poly(phenylene sulfide) (PEK‐C/PPS) composites have been studied. The morphologies of fracture surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscope. Blending a semicrystalline component, PPS, can improve markedly the mechanical properties of glass fiberreinforced PEK‐C composites. These results can be attributed to the improvement of fiber/matrix interfacial adhesion and higher fiber aspect ratio. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
