Carbon fiber composite material use is growing in sectors such as aerospace, wind power generation, automotive, and sports/leisure applications. Although corrosion and fatigue resistant, there is less known about the aging resistance of these materials. This study examines the commonly used ultraviolet absorbers, hindered amine light stabilizers, and a novel composite light stabilizer additive to get a better understanding of the weather resistance of carbon fiber composite materials in the industry.
This article is a comparison study using an accelerated weathering method to test different wood types pretreated with and without Eversorb SB in different co-solvents.
