Which consequence arises when cooling carbon fiber composites near absolute zero?

💡 Explanation

At cryogenic temperatures, differential thermal contraction causes resin micro-cracking because the epoxy matrix shrinks significantly more than the carbon fibers. Therefore, interlaminar shear stresses exceed the material strength, triggering delamination, rather than hydrogen bond alterations influencing structure differently.
