In the diploma thesis, the literature review of composite materials and binders for the repair of ski boots with reinforcement of the bend was made. The repair process leads to improvement of the properties of the ski boot in the bend section, which not only prolongs the life-span of the boot, but also allows for a better feel during all phases of jump. After a long-term use, delaminations and cracks appear on the bend, which are the result of low inter-laminar strength between the layers. Aim of the research was evaluate different type of fabrics which would yield to a higher quality of material. A review of the literature on composite materials, fabrics, and their surface treatments, which provide greater grip strength between layers, was performed. We selected and compared the strength and quality of the adhesion of two types of glass fabrics (plain, twill) using shear and bending test, followed by microscopy of failed specimens. Based on the results and analyzes, we found that the fibers with twill knitting are more suitable for repair, as with less stratification, later wear of the composite due to external influences, especially moisture, which is constantly present on the reinforced part.
