A polycarbonate (PC)/carbon fiber (CF) composite system has been examined with regard to interfacial adsorption and crystallization by altering times and temperatures of annealing. Times up to 180 min and temperatures of 245, 275, and 300°C have been investigated. Tranverse tensile, tranverse toughness, and scanning electron microscopy results on unidirectional, continuous-fiber composites indicate improved fiber/matrix adhesion at longer times and higher temperatures of annealing. Improvements in transverse toughness and transverse tensile strength of a factor of two is achieved. The data indicate that primarily adsorption rather than secondary interfacial crystallization is the likely mechanism for increased adhension. Isothermal transverse toughness values have been found to fit well to a Langmuir-type expression. The temperature dependence of adsorption as measured by transverse toughness is described well by an Arrhenius equation. The dependence of transverse toughness on PC molecular weights from Mw = 26,600 to 39,800 was found to be large, with higher molecular weights adsorbing more effectively.
