Long term degradation of polyimide composites [microform] / Kaustubh A. Patekar and Hugh L. McManus.

"The durability of polymer matrix composites exposed to harsh environments is a major concern. Surface degradation and damage are observed in polyimide composites used in air at 125-300 C. It is believed that diffusion of oxygen into the material and oxidative chemical reactions are responsible...
