Abstract

In the third part of the article, the influence of additives of multilayer carbon nanotubes (astralene) on the change in the coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE) of CFRP based on a cyanoether binder, exposed for 24 months in a temperate climate and laboratory simulation conditions, is considered. It is shown that the presence of 0.5 and 3.0 wt. % astralene significantly changes the CLTE in the glassy and highly elastic states of the binder carbon fiber in the initial state and at the stages of 24 months of climatic testing in the modes of standard exposure on an open atmospheric stand and exposure with weekly thermal cycles simulating the mode of takeoff and landing of an aircraft. The mechanism of the stabilizing effect of the nanomodifier was revealed when comparing the CLTE, compressive and bending strengths, and the glass transition temperature of the binder during the aging of carbon fiber in natural and simulated laboratory conditions.
