For the first time, a study of the influence of the molecular weight of the thermoplastic partially crystalline polyimide R-BAPB on the thermophysical and mechanical properties of carbon plastics was presented. The molecular weight of polyimide was determined using the method of light scattering and the study of the intrinsic viscosity of polyamic acid solutions. To obtain CFRPs, the uniform distribution of polyimide powder on continuous carbon fibers via electrostatic spraying and further hot calendering and pressing were applied. The study of the structure of the obtained carbon plastics via scanning electron microscopy has shown that the growth of the molecular weight of polyimide prevents the impregnation of carbon fiber with the introduced polyimide. Moreover, an increase in the molecular weight of polyimide leads to a rise in glass transition and thermal decomposition temperatures up to 590 °C, while the degree of crystallinity of CFRP falls. Nonetheless, raising the molecular weight from 22,000 to 70,000 g/mol of a binder polymer improves the interlayer fracture toughness G 1C by more than five times.
