Abstract

The paper reviews studies of the influence of external influencing factors characteristic of the Arctic zone on the properties of polymer materials and polymer composites. In the cited works, the influence of factors such as low temperatures, thermal cycling, high humidity, and other aggressive environmental conditions on the strength properties of a number of thermosetting and thermoplastic matrices, as well as composites based on them, has been studied. A comparative analysis of resistance of various materials to unfavorable climatic factors typical for the Arctic climate has been carried out. This review can be used when choosing materials for work in the Arctic and subarctic zones, as well as in other regions where the described factors may affect the operation of products, machines and structures.
