Determination of the Performance of Plastic Laminates at Cryogenic Temperatures
Abstract
This program is a continuation of the effort begun under this contract for the determination of mechanical properties of various plastic laminate materials at cryogenic temperatures. The program was extended to include additional resin systems, some of which were developed specifically for cryogenic applications. Also investigated were reinforcement materials including stainless steel, nylon, and Fortisan. Mechanical properties data included tensile, compressive and flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity, as well as bearing strength and tensile fatigue values. Test temperatures used were room temperature, -110, -320, and -423 deg F. Several glass reinforced plastic laminate materials appeared most promising as structural materials in cryogenic environments.
