ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON PROPERTIES OF CFRP (CARBON FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC) VKU-27L
The influence of climatic factors and fluids on the properties of CFRP VKU-27L, on the basis of reinforcing carbon fabric and binder VST-1208, manufactured by autoclave molding is investigated. It is shown that the CFRP VKU-27L has a high level of property preservation (not less than 82% of the initial value) when exposed to environmental factors (thermal and hydrothermal aging, resistance to water, moisture, fuel, oil, anti-icing fluid and solvent).
