The thermal oxidative degradation of carbon fiber/bismaleimide (Hexel T800H/F655-2) and carbon fiber/amine-cross-linked epoxy (Cytec Fiberite IM7/977-2) unidirectional composites and their corresponding neat polymers has been studied in air at temperatures ranging from 150 to 240 degrees C by optical microscopy, using an interferential contrast, and IR microspectrophotometry. A coarse analysis of the damaged zone allowed the determination of main kinetic characteristics in the whole degradation process (oxidation, crack propagation, and their interaction) for each principal direction of the composite materials. It has been found that cracks initiate at the sample free surfaces when a critical value of embrittlement is reached in the oxidized layer. Then, cracks propagate differently toward the core according to both the fiber orientation and the nature of the composite system. The difference in behavior between T800H/F655-2 and IM7/977-2 systems can be explained by a difference in polymer toughness and oxygen permeability of the fiber-matrix interface.
