The fracture behaviour of long fibre reinforced composites is predetermined mainly by properties of fibre-matrix interface. The matrix prepared by pyrolysis of polysiloxane resin possesses ability to resist high temperatures without significant damage under oxidising atmosphere. The application is therefore limited by fibres and possible changes in the fibre matrix interface. The study of development of interface during high temperature exposition is the main aim of this contribution. Application of various techniques as FIB, GIS, TEM, XRD allowed to monitor microstructural changes in the interface of selected places without additional damage caused by preparation. Additionally, it was possible to obtain information about damage, the crack formation, caused by the heat treatment from the fracture mechanics point of view.

Fracture response of matrix prepared by pyrolysis of polysiloxane resin used for composite reinforced by long fibres was the main goal of this contribution. A set of composites with matrix prepared by partial pyrolysis of polysiloxane resin was studied. An effect of pyrolysis temperature on the composite behaviour and fracture resistance was monitored. An optimal procedure of pyrolysis was established. Heat treatment at 1550°C in air atmosphere was conducted on fully pyrolysed matrix to explore its high temperature potential. Determination of reliable parameters characterising microstructural changes in the matrix by instrumented indentation technique was used. Both optical and scanning electron microscopy was employed in microstructural observations and fracture mechanism qualification. Observation of indents and associated cracking caused by microstructural changes as well as 3D surface reconstruction using confocal microscopy was employed.
