The cryogenic cycling had very little effect on the internal stress, indicating that PI had a good low temperature resistance. For the CF/CNT-PI films, the micro stress distributions of CFs, interface, and matrix regions were successfully obtained. It was found that the CFs bear a greater stress than the matrix, showing that CFs had always been the major stress bearer, confirming the strengthening effect of CFs. When the CF/CNT-PI films were cycled fewer than 250 times, the effect of cryogenic cycling on the micro stress was insignificant.
