A torsion pendulum study of boron fiber‐epoxy resin composites has shown marked deviations, at elevated temperatures, from the predicted behavior. A new damping peak at approximately 180°C as measured at 5 Hz is present which appears to be independent of the type of epoxy resin present in the matrix. This peak is attributed to interfacial effects between the boron fibers and the matrix resin. A linear model is tentatively proposed to explain this effect.
