Abstract

This review considers the biological damage of thermoplastic and thermoset reinforced polymer composite materials, carbon and glass fibers and resins by microorganisms and fungi. It is shown that biodegradation affects the structural integrity of the material, physical and mechanical properties. The conditions for the favorable development of microorganisms, the mechanism of biodegradation, some types of bacteria and fungi that affect polymer composite materials and the mechanisms of biofilm formation are considered.
