Blackglas{trademark} matrix Nextel{trademark} 312 fiber reinforced bend bar coupons have been subjected to long term oxidation tests in air at temperatures between 500{degrees}C and 700{degrees}C. The oxidation produces a reduction in mass and changes in mechanical properties. Oxidation of the Blackglas{trademark} matrix can also be observed microscopically in cross sections of oxidized specimens. The microstructures of the oxidized Blackglas{trademark} coupons are reported and are correlated with the mechanical property changes.
