Carbon fiber reinforced silicon oxycarbide ceramic matrix composite was prepared. Ceramic matrix was derived from phenylsilsesquioxane organic inorganic hybrid pyrolyzed at 1000-1700℃.The difference in fracture behavior between single fiber composite and fiber bundle composite, optimum heat treatment temperature and the interface of fiber/matrix were investigated. The reaction between fiber/matrix occurred by heat treatment above 1300℃, which was confirmed by the damaged fiber in single fiber composite. On the other hand, the fiber efficiency in fiber bundle composites treated at 1500℃ showed the maximum value. This suggests that the modified layer on carbon fiber, which was formed by the reaction of fiber/matrix, affect the fracture behavior, resulting in the lower interfacial shear strength between matrix and modified layer.
