Which consequence results when carbon fiber composites degrade?

A)Interlaminar shear strength decreases rapidly
B)Thermal expansion coefficient becomes negative
C)Electrical conductivity increases exponentially
D)Resin compressive strength exhibits hysteresis

💡 Explanation

Interlaminar shear strength decreases with degradation because oxidation breaks polymer chain crosslinking, a scission mechanism. Therefore, A is the correct answer rather than electrical changes that require significantly greater carbonization, or thermal coefficient changes.
