The effect of sized carbon fibers on the solid‐state cure of poly(p‐phenylene sulfide) (PPS) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry. PPS resin reinforced with sized carbon fiber exhibited the largest cure peak for all cure temperatures and showed a second peak at low cure temperature which was absent in both PPS reinforced with desized carbon fiber and neat PPS resin. In a separate experiment in which epoxy prepolymer/PPS mixture was cured, the exothermic reaction was related to the presence of the epoxy sizing used on the carbon fiber. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
