Conclusions
1. Carbon fibers, similar to graphite materials, are heat-resistant and do not Iose their short-term tensile strength in the temperature range studied — 20 to 2000°C.
2. Young's modulus of carbon fibers hardly changes in the temperature range 20 to 1200°C, but a significant decrease is observed upon a further increase in temperature.
