PHYSICO-MECHANICAL, THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPOSITE MATERIALS BASED ON POLYURETHANE BINDER AND MINERAL FILLERS
The article presents the results of studies of the physical, mechanical, thermal and electrical characteristics of composite materials based on polyurethane as a binder and mineral fillers from fine powders AlN, Al(OH)3, SiO2, CaSiO3 with a content of up to 70 wt.%. These composite materials are used to create modern sealants and dielectric coatings that meet special requirements for strength, elasticity, heat resistance, including those that do not support combustion (by using flame retardants). Dependences of tensile strength, coefficient of elasticity, modulus of elasticity under compression and hardness of samples, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity on the mass content of the filler were determined. It was found that in terms of the combination of physical and mechanical characteristics, the compositions based on the applied polyurethane are more durable, elastic and resilient than compositions based on a silicone binder with the same fillers previously studied by the authors.
