Research of the influence of climatic factors on the properties and characteristics of carbon plastics

The results of accelerated tests on the influence of climatic factors on the operational and technical parameters and characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced plastics are presented, among which the main attention is paid to thermal and moisture aging, thermal aging, joint periodic changes in temperature and humidity, as well as immersion in water on the state of polymer composite materials in order to check physical and mechanical properties and improving their quality. The results of the experimental studies made it possible to establish how much and in what direction the strength characteristics of the materials under study changed as a percentage of the initial value.
