Abstract
Climatic stability of 14 organic fiber reinforced plastics for aerospace applications developed at the All-Russian Institute of Aviation Materials was studied. Plastics were exposed for 5–10 years under warm humid climatic conditions of the city of Batumi on the Black Sea Coast. It has been proven that observed changes in the strain-stress properties of organic fiber reinforced plastics result from the fact that moisture causes the following effects: reversible plasticization effect, change in structural heterogeneity of the epoxy binders, active postcuring of the epoxy binders, plasticization effect of the SVM-fiber.Keywords
