Abstract
The initial thermal degradation of polymer matrix composite is not observed easily. At the beginning of thermal degradation of polymer matrix composites, phase transformation such as chain scission, oxidation occur, and then micro delamination is produced in matrix and interface between matrix and fiber before blistering. Initial heat damage deteriorate mechanical properties of composites. We presented the detection method of the initial heat damage of composites conveniently using ultrasonic technique. Absorption coefficient and material velocity was measured with thermal degradation and degree of cure. The more thermal degradation was progressed, the more absorption coefficient was increased. When the cure temperature is more high, the absorption coefficient of cured composite is increased and material velocity is decreased. We concluded that cure temperature is more high, the defects such as void is increased and molecular structure cured at high temperature has cross-linking structure which is more absorb the ultrasonic waves.
