Abstract

The third part of the article studies physicochemical transformations in the polymer matrix of carbon fiber reinforced plastic KMKU-2m.120 by means of dynamic mechanical analysis. During 8- and 13-year climatic exposure, carbon fiber reinforced plastic plates were protected with paint and varnish coatings VE-46 and AC-1115 of nine colors. After removal from the exposure, the coatings were removed from the surface of the plates, and the temperature dependences of the dynamic storage modulus and the dynamic loss modulus were measured in two states: after drying and after moistening the samples at 60 °C.
