The increasingly broad use of carbon-finer plastics as thermal insulation has made it necessary to study not only the usual characteristics of mechanical and thermal stability, but also indices such as the degrees of change in physicomechanical properties and strength in relation to heating rate. This paper studies the temperature dependences of the elastic modulus at high (up to 1000/deg min) heating rates. Typical laminated carbon-fiber plastics reinformed with graphitized cloth having a protective coating of fibers of silicon carbides were the objects of study. A temperature of 2000 C proved adequate to reveal the inevitable decrease in the Young's modulus at high temperatures.
