The paper shows the promising use of the "fractal dimension" parameter for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the surface structure of samples based of micrographs obtained by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The interrelation of this parameter with some mechanical characteristics of polymeric composite material PTFE-3%tu121 is investigated.

In the last decades there is increasing the need to apply polymer composite materials in different industries, particularly in shipbuilding. There are developing single structures made from polymer composite materials to be used on board ships. The article focuses on technology of manufacturing slabs from polymer composite materials to carry out mechanical testing in the laboratory special standard units. Mechanical properties of polymer composite materials depend on molding technologies. There has been described a technology of sample manufacturing from polymer composite materials reinforced with glass fiber mat with fiberglass plastics. The technique of testing the specified samples for tensile strength has been considered. The sizes and shapes of the samples as well as the technological parameters of the manufacturing process have been validated, depending on the standard requirements and the technological features of the testing machine. The physical and mechanical properties of the components that make up the composite materials are considered. The sequence of stacking layers for preparation of plates from composite materials is indicated. The dimensions of the plates for cutting out finished samples are determined, depending on the method of production. The way of laying plates from composite materials has been chosen on the base of economic considerations and conditions of accessibility. The obtained results of mechanical properties can be used in solving problems of application of polymer composite materials in shipbuilding, for example, in manufacturing superstructures of some dry cargo vessels.

Green and sustainable material is the utmost prerequisite for the advancement of a healthy society and fulfilling the necessary for the improvement in material science. Naturally obtaining wood flour has the competence to be reinforced as a filler substance in the polymer composite. The present article deals with the usage of wood flour as a filler in the polymer composite. The article comprises properties, characteristics, occurrence, the structure of wood, and the techniques implemented in the manufacturing of wood flour polymer composites. In addition, critical parameters and causes that can bring changes in the properties like tensile, flexural, impact and hardness of polymers are also discussed with the addition of wood flour alone and with nanoparticles. The advantages of using wood flour as a filler in the thermoset and thermoplastic polymers discussed, and its hybridization with various natural fibers was also discussed in the present study.

This paper is devoted to the study of the technological process for the production of tape from polyethylene and wood-polymer composite by extrusion. At the first stage, the wood-polymer composite granulate was obtained on a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The tape was made on a Rheomex 19/25 PolyLab OS single-screw extruder with a barrel length L/D = 25. The processing temperature of the wood-polymer composite was in the range of 145 ... 160°C. The tensile strength and elasticity modulus in tension, water absorption per day and density were investigated for the developed wood-polymer composite and polyethylene. It has been found out that for the developed wood-polymer composite, the strength and elastic modulus along the stretch direction increase by 11% and 6%, respectively. Orientation stretching has a significant effect on the physical and mechanical properties of wood-polymer composites.

The broader knowledge about physical and mechanical properties of wood allows reliable timber structures design. Even little addressed in the literature, in several situations Poisson's ratios are required for the evaluation of stresses acting on structural elements. This study aimed to obtain values of Poisson's ratios (ν), plans Longitudinal-Radial (νLR) and Longitudinal-Tangential (νLT), for species Peroba Rosa (Aspidosperma polyneuron) and Jatobá (Hymenaea courbarilL.). For this purpose, forty samples Peroba Rosa and eight samples of Jatobá were prepared for testing in compression parallel to the grain, following the recommendations of ABNT NBR 7190 standard. The results of means confidence intervals, considered at the level of 5% significance, revealed that the Poisson's ratios νLR e νLT to Peroba Rosa are 0.27 and 0.42, respectively, and 0.25 and 0.43 to Jatobá.

Improving the process of knitting fabrics from Kevlar complex threads on flat knitting machines is to create the minimum necessary tension in the area of formation of the knitted fabric. To ensure this, it is necessary to determine the change in relative tension in the refueling zones of Kevlar complex threads on flat knitting machines. These zones are formed by arranging the thread guides, tension compensation devices, tension devices and thread break control devices in the working area of the supply system to form a spatial filling line for each specific knitting machine. This complex task for flat knitting machines should be based on the use of specially designed computer programs. Given the specifics of processing Kevlar complex threads on flat knitting machines, when determining the relative tension in each zone, it is necessary to use a recursion algorithm, when the output tension of Kevlar complex threads from the previous zone will be the input for the next zone. When determining the tension of Kevlar complex threads, their interaction with the guides of Kevlar complex threads, tension compensation devices, tension devices and devices for controlling the breakage of Kevlar complex threads, it is necessary to take into account the value of Kevlar complex thread diameter, its physical and mechanical properties, deformation, deformation the coefficient of bending stiffness when determining the actual angle of coverage of the guide surface. Ensuring the minimum necessary tension in the area of formation of the knitted fabric will allow to obtain the parameters of the loop structure of property and tactical equipment of servicemen capable of protecting the human body from fire, cold, cutting, barbed weapons, shock and shotgun impact. Minimizing the tension in each zone of the line of Kevlar complex threads on flat knitting machines will reduce the probability of breakage, which is important for improving knitting processes from the standpoint of improving the productivity of flat knitting machines and product quality. Mathematical support of a computer program requires the development of models of thread guides, tension compensation devices, tension devices and thread break control devices, taking into account the real physical and mechanical properties of Kevlar complex threads and real geometric and structural parameters of structural elements of the feed system.
