Evaluation of ionic liquid epoxy carbon fiber composites in a cryogenic environment

Evaluation of ionic liquid epoxy carbon fiber composites in a cryogenic environment

A novel ionic liquid epoxy (ILE) was used to fabricate carbon fiber composite discs which were then subjected to biaxial strain testing in liquid nitrogen. The ILE composite showed a greater strain-to-failure at cryogenic temperatures when compared to a commercial epoxy. This result is likely an eff...
