“…As described later, it is clearly demonstrated in the literature that the flexural tests because of more sensitivity to matrix‐dominated damages can be a very useful tool to evaluate the thermal stresses induced damages in the PMCs . Thus, for investigating the effect of cryogenic aging on the mechanical degradation of FML and GE specimens, flexural tests were chosen in this study.…”

“…Plain weave E‐glass fabric (200 g/m 2 ) as reinforcement was purchased from Colan Products Pty, Australia. It was chosen because it provides better thermal properties and draping compared with that of unidirectional fibers . Because of equality of warp and fill yarns in the plain weave fabrics, in‐plane CTE values of composite plies are nearly identical.…”

“…Islam et al studied the influence of short‐term cryogenic aging on the tensile, flexural and shear properties of woven carbon/epoxy and woven Kevlar/epoxy laminates. Results showed that the degradation of fiber/matrix interface due to cryogenic aging did not noticeably affect the tensile properties compared with the flexural properties.…”

“…In recent years, several approaches such as the use of metallic liners and textile composites have been taken to prevent cryogenic composite tanks from leakage . Besides preventing the cryogen permeation, the metallic liners such as aluminum, nickel, and copper can improve the mechanical properties of composite structures.…”

In this study, the idea of using fiber metal laminate (FML) for cryogenic applications has been proposed. Considering the cryogenic durability of 5,000 series of aluminum alloys, a novel FML based on the aluminum alloy 5083-H111 was successfully developed. The changes in the mechanical properties of the mentioned FMLs, as well as traditional plain weave E-glass/epoxy (GE) composites after exposure to cryogenic aging in LN 2 at a temperature of −196 C for 336 h was evaluated. In addition, an effort was made on improvement of the cryogenic durability of both laminate types by adding montmorillonite nanoclay particles into the polymeric matrix. The principal findings were the maximum flexural load, flexural stiffness, and impact strength of GE composites were negatively affected by cryogenic aging and decreased by 26.82, 5.13, and 14.06%, respectively, while these values for the aged FMLs were only 18.65, 4.54, and 9.56%, respectively. It was also found that the nanoclay could effectively improve the mechanical properties of both laminate types in pristine and aged conditions. This study can provide a preliminary guideline for the initial design of the cryogenic tanks based on FMLs.

“…[2][3][4][5] When they serve in cryogenic environment, the aggravated brittleness and crack sensitivity caused by frozen molecular chains will greatly deteriorate their structural reliability. [6][7][8] Therefore, epoxy resins with outstanding strength and toughness at cryogenic temperature have attracted wide attention. [9,10] Because of the high specific strength as well as good flexibility carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been regarded as a one of the promising nanofiller of epoxy resins.…”

The surface chemistry and structure of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) plays an important role in MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites. In this contribution, oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotube (OMCNT) with tunable oxygen‐containing groups is prepared by finely controlling oxidation time and centrifugal speeds. Effects of oxygen‐containing group content on mechanical properties of the OMCNT/E51 epoxy nanocomposites at 77 K are investigated in detail. It reveals that oxygen‐containing groups on the OMCNT surface contribute to significant increases in tensile strength and impact resistance of the OMCNT/E51 epoxy nanocomposites compared with those of the pristine MWCNT/E51 nanocomposites. A positive correlation between the oxygen‐containing group content and interfacial properties of OMCNT and epoxy matrix is demonstrated by thermogravimetric analysis and fracture morphology, and homogeneous dispersion of the OMCNT in epoxy matrix is obtained with the increase of oxygen‐containing groups on surface of the OMCNT. However, proper content of oxygen‐containing groups is essential to OMCNT/E51 nanocomposites because excessive oxidation tends to make sever structural defects on the OMCNT and has a side effect on cryogenic mechanical properties of OMCNT/E51 nanocomposites.

A point of major concern in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is the interface between the carbon fibers (CFs) and the polymer matrix, which acts as the weakest link. Researchers have tried to work around this drawback by modifying the fiber or the matrix via the addition of nanofillers or using chemical treatment methods. In this review, the progress made in the last decade for enhancing the mechanical performance of CFRP composites by applying the aforementioned methods has been covered. Another aspect of CFRP composites that has limited their adaptability is their susceptibility both at sub-zero and at elevated temperatures. In the later part of this review, the co-relation between different service temperatures and the various mechanical properties of CFRP composites and has been elaborated upon. A better understanding of temperature dependent mechanical response would empower us to tailor the properties of CFRP composites depending on the in-service temperature conditions.
