Для полимерных композиционных материалов (ПКМ) с армирующим наполнителем из натуральных волокон одними из проблем являются оценка качества подготовки волокон и определение динамики взаимодействия волокон и полимерной матрицы. Актуальность проблем обусловлена расширяющимся объёмом исследований ПКМ с растительными волокнами и разнообразными видами и глубиной предварительной обработки растительных волокон. Предметом исследования выступил стандартный метод определения смачиваемости целлюлозных материалов. Цель экспериментального исследования – предложить модифицированный метод определения смачиваемости, потенциально пригодный для оценки качества подготовки армирующих наполнителей ПКМ из растительных волокон. Использован стандартный по ГОСТ и модифицированный метод определения смачиваемости. В качестве пробного материала использовали целлюлозу древесную, полубелёную сульфитную из хвойной древесины в форме целлюлозной папки. Образцы целлюлозы механически разрыхляли до элементарных волокон и испытывали на смачиваемость. Использовали три схемы испытаний – взвешивание стаканчика с навеской, погруженного в воду (схема 1), взвешивание сосуда с водой (схема 2), стандартную методику по ГОСТ (схема 3). По схемам 1 и 2 измерения проводили в течение до 120 секунд, по схеме 3 – 30 секунд. Эксперименты проводили в трёхкратной повторности. Сущность модифицированного метода определения смачиваемости основана на постоянном контроле массы навески по мере сорбции водной влаги. Полученные закономерности кинетики процесса показали, что количество водной влаги, впитываемой образцами, нелинейно меняется во времени. Величины смачиваемости, определённых по различным схемам, с учётом отклонений, соответствуют друг другу. Определение смачиваемости по модифицированному методу предложено проводить в течение 120 секунд, периодически контролируя показания весов. Предложенный модифицированный метод может быть использован в исследовательских целях для изучения динамики впитывания воды и сравнения поведения различных целлюлозных материалов для ПКМ с матрице на основе гидрофильных полимеров. For polymer composite materials (PCM) with a reinforcing filler made of natural fibers, one of the problems is to assess the quality of fiber preparation and determine the dynamics of the interaction of fibers and a poly-dimensional matrix. The urgency of the problems is due to the expanding volume of research on PCM with plant fibers and various types and depth of pretreatment of plant fibers. The subject of the study was a standard method for determining the wettability of cellulose materials. The purpose of the experimental study is to propose a modified method for determining wettability, potentially suitable for assessing the quality of preparation of reinforcing fillers of PCM from plant fibers. The standard GOST and modified method for determining wettability were used. As a test material, wood cellulose, semi-green sulfite from coniferous wood in the form of a cellulose folder was used. Cellulose samples were mechanically loosened to elementary fibers and tested for wettability. Three test schemes were used – weighing a cup with a suspension immersed in water (scheme 1), weighing a vessel with water (scheme 2), standard procedure according to GOST (scheme 3). According to schemes 1 and 2, measurements were carried out for up to 120 seconds, according to scheme 3 – 30 seconds. The experiments were carried out in threefold repetition. The essence of the modified method for determining the permeability is based on the constant control of the weight of the suspension as the sorption of water moisture. The obtained laws of the kinetics of the process showed that the amount of water moisture absorbed by the samples varies non-linearly over time. The wettability values determined according to various schemes, taking into account deviations, correspond to each other. The determination of wettability by the modified method is proposed to be carried out within 120 seconds, periodically monitoring the readings of the scales. The proposed modified method can be used for research purposes to study the dynamics of water absorption and compare the behavior of various cellulose materials for PCM with a matrix based on hydrophilic polymers.

Reinforcing Filler

The use of basalt fiber as a reinforcing filler is mainly used instead of glass fibers due to its unique properties. Basalt fiber in comparison with glass has a 10-22% greater modulus, higher absolute strength after exposure to 400 °C, superior to glass in alkali and especially acid resistance, approximately identical in water resistance, i.e. close in properties to high-modulus glass fibers. However, it is most often used as a filler for concrete and other building structures. There is much less information about its use as a polymer reinforcing filler. The polymer matrix for creating polymer composite materials is most often epoxy resins, less often polyester. At the same time, there is practically no data on polyurethanes that have a unique combination of high strength indicators with elasticity and hardness, resistance to solvents and aggressive media, abrasion resistance, etc. The use of basalt fiber as a filler that increases the strength characteristics of polyurethanes and gives them specific properties can significantly expand the scope of their application. In this regard, this study attempts to use crushed basalt fiber as a reinforcing filler for polyurethanes. In order to increase the adhesion of the polymer matrix – filler system, an adhesive based on water-based polyurethane dispersion is used. Samples were obtained based on a polyurethane binder filled with basalt fiber in amounts up to 10.0 % by weight, treated with water-polyurethane dispersion with a concentration of 10 to 20 % by weight. The best complex of strength properties is provided by polyurethanes filled with basalt fiber in the amount of 1.0% by weight, treated with 15 % by weight water-based polyurethane dispersion. At the same time, the tensile strength increased by 15% compared to the same filling without processing and by 50% compared to the unfilled analog and amounted to 33.7 MPa. These changes are explained by a more uniform distribution of crushed basalt fiber in the polymer matrix and an increase in the adhesion interaction of fiber-adhesive-polymer matrix due to the biphilicity of the adhesive, as well as the same (polyurethane) nature of the adhesive and the matrix. The developed polymer composite materials have high hydrolytic resistance, as well as resistance to acetone and hexane. At the same time, the greatest degree of swelling did not exceed 0.9 % of the mass.
