This article presents the results of an experimental campaign that examined the effect of epoxy resin application on bare carbon textiles. To this end, the experimental campaign was undertaken involving a total of 6 specimens (3 bare textile and 3 coated). The main idea of the research is to examine the effectiveness of epoxy resin application on carbon textiles. The main outcome could be determined as follows: a noticeable reduction in maximum applied load observed by 60 % and an increase in modulus of elasticity by 23 %, which indicates a significant increase in reliability and robustness. However, the use of epoxy resin is associated with disadvantages, in particular with reduced flexibility, which limits its suitability for curved surfaces. The analysis of the nature of the fracture reveals the rupture of the material as the predominant result, confirming the successful impregnation of the epoxy resin to the textile. These results highlight the potential benefits of epoxy-coated textiles and the importance of considering specific application requirements in practical use.
