This paper presents the influence of fibers on crystallization kinetics and on matrix morphology for poly(phenylene sulfide)/carbon composite. The following parameters were also considered: thermal stability, fusion/crystallization conditions and surface treatment of carbon fibers. In order to correlate these results with mechanical properties, composite samples were prepared and tested in both static and dynamic modes. The delamination resistance of the composite in shear Mode II is also discussed.
