- Abstract
Glass-epoxy laminates are characterized by exceptional properties such as high thermal insulation, resistance to mechanical damage, and stability at low temperatures. These crucial characteristics make them suitable for diverse applications, including cryogenics. Their application in cryogenics allows them to maintain low temperatures in research and industrial processes. This article ana-lyzes the effect of cryogenic cycles on the functional properties of composite materials. The study investigated the influence of cryogenic cycles on the mechanical properties of glass-epoxy laminates. Three sets of cycles were employed, each consisting of 1, 5, and 10 cycles. After each set of cycles, the mechanical properties, including impact strength, flexural strength, and Young's modulus, were measured and compared. Additionally, after each series, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to carefully observe the material's surface and detect possible changes in its appearance and structure, such as cracks or deformations. Conclusions from the conducted research provide essential information on the correlation between cryogenic cycles and the functional properties of composites obtained by coating. The research results can be used to design and improve these materials in various industrial applications. This work determines the effect of a different composition of resin reinforced with glass fabric weighing 205 g/m2 on the mechanical properties of composite materials subjected to cryogenic cycles. This research aims to create innovative materials adapted to work in cryogenic environments.
