For carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic based on epoxy binder EDT-69N, an investigation was made of the effect of climatic factors in accelerated heat and humidity tests and in natural climatic tests under static and cyclic loading on change in the residual strength of the material in bend, its moisture content, and structural transformations in the material (glass transition region and glass transition temperature).
