Abstract
A method for sulfonating items comprising polybenzazole polymers is described. These sulfonated polybenzazole items are incorporated into composites containing a matrix resin such as an epoxy resin. The interfacial shear strength of these sulfonated polybenzazole fiber-containing composites is significantly improved over the interfacial shear strength of similar composites containing unsulfonated polybenzazole fibers.
