This work studies the effect of the relative content of Al2O3 nanofibers on the compaction, phase composition, and physicomechanical properties of composites based on ZrO2 obtained by free vacuum sintering. It was found that in the process of manufacturing composites, nanofibers are sintered into Al2O3 grains of complex, elongated shape, which form a solid, frame-reinforcing structure. The relative density of composites with 5 wt. % and 10 wt. % of nanofibers, decreases up to 95%. It is shown that in all sintered samples the tetragonal modification of ZrO2 acts as the main phase, and the different content of nanofibers affects the amount of cubic and monoclinic modifications of ZrO2. It was found that addition of 5 wt. % and 10 wt. % of Al2O3 nanofibers increases the microhardness of the composite by 11% and crack resistance by 46%.

The effect of different с-BN and с-ZrO2 ratios on the phase composition, microstructure, relative density, open porosity, linear shrinkage, physicomechanical properties, and linear correlation of the elastic modulus and toughness of samples during plasma-spark sintering at pressing load 70 MPa in the range of 1200‒1600 °C is shown. The synthesized powders of TiC, c-BN and c-ZrO2, sintered at 1400 °C by the plasma-spark method, are characterized by intense crystallization of the phases. Sintered samples with different ratios of c-BN and c-ZrO2 show the intensive development of mullite and TiC. An increase in the c-BN / c-ZrO2 ratio promotes an active increase in c-BN and a less intensive increase in с-ZrO2 in the range of 1200‒1600 °C, and it causes the formation of a less uniform and densely sintered crystalline microstructure with a large number of pores at 1500 °C. This sample has lower values of physical and mechanical properties and a lower linear correlation of the modulus of elasticity and toughness in the range of 1200‒1600 °C and lower crack resistance at 1500 °C.

WC-Co cemented carbide specimens were prepared via vacuum sintering. The influences of composition and sintering temperature on phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of WC-Co cemented carbide were investigated. The results show that dense specimens were obtained in the sintering temperature range of 1280~1400°C and the relative density reached over 95%. Only WC and Co3W3C (-phase) were detected by XRD without any else phases, even though Co. With the ascended sintering temperature, hardness increased and the transverse rupture strength (TRS) ascended to peak value and then descended. WC-Co cemented carbide with excellent mechanical properties (HRA>90, TRS~700MPa and KIC>10MPa•m1/2) were obtained.

In this paper the composites made of cornstarch and PVA as matrix, bamboo fiber as reinforcement, glycerol and urea as mixed plasticizer were prepared through the extrusion molding. By physical methods, the effects of cornstarch, bamboo fiber, PVA and mixed plasticizer on the mechanical properties of composites were investigated. SEM was used to observe the influence of different content of mixed plasticizer in cornstarch. The results showed that an increase in mixed plasticizer content from 10% to 40% in cornstarch did improve the mechanical properties of the composites compared without mixed plasticizer, and when the mixed plasticizer (wt-glycerol: wt-urea=2:1) content was 30% to cornstarch, the composite showed the highest tensile strength and elongation rate. Composites made from 20% of bamboo fiber, 30% of cornstarch, 50% of PVA and 30% of mixed plasticizer to cornstarch gave the best tensile strength (15.8N). Glycerol and urea could permeate the cornstarch molecules and plasticize it under high temperature and shearing in the extrusion process.

Hemp wood core (HWC) filled Si-containing epoxyurethane biocomposites, in which diane epoxy resin was replaced with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), were obtained. It was shown that the tensile strength of ESO-containing polymer was higher, and the flexural strength was lower than those of original polymer. HWC was especially effective strengthening filler for modified epoxyurethanes, because in that case mechanical properties of composites were higher than those of unfilled polymer matrices. Particularly, flexural and tensile strength of unfilled epoxyurethane with maximum content of ESO were 8.1 and 6.8 MPa respectively, while in corresponding composite they reached 17.3 and 15.7 MPa.

The article presents the issues of replacing leucosapphires in jeweled bearings of the axes of precision instruments with nanostructured crystals of partially stabilized zirconia. The statement is substantiated that doping with rare earth elements provides an improvement in the performance properties of precision instruments by improving the mechanical properties of bearing materials. The efficiency of doping of zirconia crystals with cerium and neodymium oxides is studied. It was found that doped crystals have increased plasticity, which provides an increase in the crack resistance of crystals. Special attention is paid to the issues of increasing the survivability of high-speed rotor bearings by replacing the thrust bearing of leucosapphire with nanostructured crystals of partially stabilized zirconia doped with cerium and neodymium. The efficiency of improving the mechanical properties is confirmed by the X-ray phase analysis of crystals. The phase composition is studied by Raman scattering and the lattice parameters are determined. The increased crack resistance of the thrust bearing is confirmed by tests performed using the kinetic microhardness method.

The specimens of Al2O3/Si3N4 compound ceramics which contain 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18% nano-Al2O3 additions respectively were obtained by pressureless sintering at 1650 in the nitrogen atmosphere. The bending strength and fracture toughness (KIC) were detected. The microstructure and phase composition of the specimens were analyzed by the means of SEM and X-ray. The results show that Al2O3/Si3N4 compound ceramics can be made only using pressureless sintering. With 9-12% nano-Al2O3addition, the specimens have the top mechanical properties. The bending strength reach 710.86MPa, KIC reach 8.61MPa•M1/2. These excellent properties come from many interwoven nitride distributed uniformly in the Al2O3/Si3N4 compound ceramics matrix, which composed of big and firmly plate-like β- Si3N4, hexagonal Sialon and sheet Si2N2O.

The different coupling agent is used for diatomite modification. The diatomite with different content are melt and mixed with polypropylene to prepare diatomite/polypropylene composites. The modification effects of different coupling agent on diatomite and the influence of agent and diatomite contents on crystallization behavior of polypropylene and mechanical properties of composites are investigated. The results show that different coupling agents have the modification effects on diatomite influence crystallization of polypropylene but the aluminum agent is better than other agents. With the increase of the content of aluminum acid ester coupling agent, the size of bubble pore is uniform, and then the compressive strength reaches to a maximum when aluminum acid ester coupling agent content is 1%. With the increase of the content of diatomite, the porosity of bubble pore of diatomite/polypropylene composite material is gradually increases. The crystallinity of polypropylene and yield strength reach to a maximum (48.15% and 21.5%) when diatomite content is 30%. In addition, the diatomite/polypropylene composites have better compressive strength than the others.

The use of reclaiming scrap waste rubber is of great ecological interest due to itssignificant influence to the environment. Powdered waste rubber (WRP) can be used asa filler in mixtures with rubbers, thermoplastics, and as modifiers for asphalt. In this workthe composites based on natural rubber (NR) and chlorosufonated polyethylene (CSM)filled with different content of WRP were prepared on a laboratory-size two-roll mixingmill. The curing by sulfur was done at 160º C. The mechanical properties, namely tensilestrength, tensile modulus at 100% elongation, elongation at break and hardness have beenfollowed up as a function of irradiation dose (100; 200; 300; 400 kGy), as well as wasterubber powder content (0; 20; 40; 60; 80; 100 phr). It was assessed that the addition of20 phr waste rubber has improved the properties of obtained elastomeric materials. Theimprovement of composites mechanical properties is in correlation with homogeneousWRP distribution which has been assigned by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
