Climate Resistance of Composite Materials Based on Adhesive Prepregs under Arctic Conditions

摘要

The results of a change in the strength characteristics of carbon-fiber-and glass-fiber-reinforced plastics based on adhesive prepregs after in situ exposure under the extremely cold climatic conditions of Yakutia during five years are presented. It is shown that the results obtained make it possible to preliminarily determine the possibility of using such materials for engineering products that operate in the Arctic region. A more objective determination requires exposing them in situ under real Arctic conditions in both the coast and the marine water area zone, and it is also necessary to perform additional laboratory tests.
