AbstractAbstract
[en] The three dimensional fabric reinforced plastics (3D-GFRP) for cryogenic use have been developed making the selection of matrix, the optimization of 3D- fabrics and the investigation of fabrication processes. The epoxy matrix has been selected considering the durability against thermal shock and easiness of fabrication. The three dimensional fabrics have been constructed varying the orientation and the tension of glass fibers. The possible combination of epoxy matrix and 3D-fabrics were decided and then 3D-GFRP were fabricated. The cryogenic performance of the 3D-GFRP were examined. In this work, particular attention has been paid to thermal properties and they have been measured down to cryogenic temperatures. The thermal contraction of GFRP is thought to be small enough in practical cryogenic application. The usual GFRP (2D-GFRP) were also made using the identical components of 3D-GFRP and their dimensional stability were compared each other. It is found that concerning the thermal contraction 3D-GFRP show much more isotropic characteristics compared with 2D-GFRP as expected
