Abstract

An assessment was made of the impact of operational factors on the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) based on adhesive prepregs developed by the Kurchatov Institute – VIAM. The changes in tensile strength, compressive strength and flexural strength after exposure to elevated temperatures were demonstrated for CFRPs with various forms of carbon fillers. The properties of carbon fiber reinforcements and their potential impact on changes in CFRP performance after climatic exposure were examined.
