Effects of external influencing factors on the microstructure and physico-mechanical characteristics of glass-reinforced polymer composite material based on polyimide binder

The article presents the results of experimental studies of the effects of external influencing factors (natural exposure in climatic zones, such as a temperate climate and a climate with an industrial atmosphere, during accelerated climatic tests in a thermal humidity chamber, during thermal aging, exposure in technical environments) on the microstructure and physical and mechanical characteristics of a glass-reinforced polymer composite material grade VPS-72 based on polyimide binder grade VS-51. The state of the surface of fiberglass samples after exposure was studied for one year.
