Polymer and composite materials (PCMs) are widely used in various industries for production of small but complex parts and large-sized body parts subjected to significant loads. The production of more critical parts from PCM has led to the need to develop new compositions, structures and technologies for molding composites. The manufacturing technology of PCMs with a hybrid matrix is presented, one of the components of which retains its "liquid" state after the molding of the products, and the second is completely solid. In the resulting composite, the “liquid” components form an independent phase and together with the main binder material, the PCMs represent a hybrid matrix. The results of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of basalt plastics with hybrid matrices, in which the composition of the “liquid” component are anaerobic technical wax and organosilicon polymer materials, are presented. DMA is performed on samples of two types: № 1 - samples with a low content of "liquid" components in the matrix and № 2 - samples with a high content of "liquid" components in the matrix. According to the results of the tests carried out, the best characteristics among PCMs with various types of hybrid matrices are possessed by samples with an organosilicon polymer material in the matrix

Basalt plastic, thanks to its complex of valuable operational properties, has a potential variety of applications. the article describes the technology of production of basalt plastics with various types of hybrid matrices, one of the components of which is cured in the molding process, and the second-like a binder in natural materials, retains its viscoelastic state. The viscoelastic component makes it possible to increase the deformation properties in the zones of their location, preventing cracking under increased loads. As a result of the conducted mechanical tensile tests, the average values of absolute breaking forces, tensile strength and elongation during fracture of basalt plastic samples with different types of hybrid matrices were obtained. The addition of viscoelastic components (such as technical wax, anaerobic, and organosilicon polymer materials) to the basalt plastic matrix allows to increase the elongation at fracture by 2...5%. Anaerobic polymer material in the basalt plastic matrix allows to increase the tensile strength of the composite material, as well as significantly reduce the dispersion of the measured values. This provides an effective prediction of the operational properties of the structural material in the design of products. On the basis of microanalysis of the structure of basalt plastics with different types of hybrid matrices, an explanation of the causes of changes in the mechanical properties of the resulting composite materials is given.

The mechanical properties of polymer composite materials largely depend on the interfacial phenomena occurring on the interface between the matrix and reinforcing material. The addition of components to the matrix of polymer composite materials that retain their viscoelastic state during the molding process of the products makes possible to locally change the deformation-and-strength properties of a finished product, adapting it to the specified operating conditions. The viscoelastic components in the hybrid matrix form the third phase of the polymer composite material. Increasing the efficiency of interfacial layers of polymer composite materials with various types of hybrid matrices is the most important task of their development. The samples for microanalysis of the polymer composite material structure with various types of hybrid matrices were molded using the prepreg technology by vacuum molding on the basis of BT400 biaxial basalt fabric. Technical wax, anaerobic (Loctite 638) and organosilicon (Yunisil-9628) polymer materials were selected as the viscoelastic components of the hybrid matrix. In order to explain the reasons for the change in the deformation-and-strength properties of the obtained basalt plastics with various viscoelastic components in the composition of the hybrid matrix, microanalysis of their structure was carried out. A mechanism for choosing a scheme for the location of viscoelastic components in a matrix of polymer composite materials based on the provisions of combinatorial optimization is described.

In this work, new films containing composite materials based on blends of thermoplastic polymers of the polyurethane (TPU) and polyolefin (TPO) type, in the absence and presence of BaTiO3 nanoparticles (NPs) with the size smaller 100 nm, were prepared. The vibrational properties of the free films depending on the weight ratio of the two thermoplastic polymers were studied. Our results demonstrate that these films are optically active, with strong, broad, and adjustable photoluminescence by varying the amount of TPU. The crystalline structure of BaTiO3 and the influence of thermoplastic polymers on the crystallization process of these inorganic NPs were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The vibrational changes induced in the thermoplastic polymer’s matrix of the BaTiO3 NPs were showcased by Raman scattering and FTIR spectroscopy. The incorporation of BaTiO3 NPs in the matrix of thermoplastic elastomers revealed the shift dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) band depending on the BaTiO3 NP concentration, which was capable of covering a wide visible spectral range. The dependencies of the dielectric relaxation phenomena with the weight of BaTiO3 NPs in thermoplastic polymers blends were also demonstrated.

Investigations related to polymer/metal composites are often limited to the analysis of the electrical and thermal conductivity of the materials. The presented study aims to analyze the impact of aluminum (Al) filler content (from 1 to 20 wt%) on the rarely investigated properties of composites based on the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix. The crystalline structure, rheological (melt flow index and oscillatory rheometry), thermal (differential scanning calorimetry), as well as static (tensile tests, hardness, rebound resilience) and dynamic (dynamical mechanical analysis) mechanical properties of composites were investigated. The incorporation of 1 and 2 wt% of aluminum filler resulted in small enhancements of mechanical properties, while loadings of 5 and 10 wt% provided materials with a similar performance to neat HDPE. Such results were supported by the lack of disturbances in the rheological behavior of composites. The presented results indicate that a significant content of aluminum filler may be introduced into the HDPE matrix without additional pre-treatment and does not cause the deterioration of composites’ performance, which should be considered beneficial when engineering PE/metal composites.

Producing composites from natural fibers is known to be common. These fibers benefit from their mechanical performances, low density, and their biodegradability. However, it is necessary for the fibers to form adhesion in the matrix. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a chemical process to the surface of the fibers. In this study, four different processes in conventional and ultrasonic energies were applied on luffa cylindrical fibers. At the end of the application, a composite structure was formed on the fibers that were obtained by using unsaturated polyester resin. The changes in the characteristics of the composite structure were recorded by mechanical tests, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffractometer, and their morphological characteristics by means of scanning electron microscopy. Considering all the results, formic acid and acetic acid process results were found to adequately modify the fiber surfaces.

The main aims and the objectives of the study focused on solving current problems of nanomaterial science of new materials – creating the scientific basis for competitive methods of obtaining and controlling new composite materials having improved strength properties based on carbon-containing polymer matrices with nanotubes stabilized in them. A technology for obtaining experimental samples of nanocompositional polymer material based on polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, and methacrylic acid doped with carbon nanotubes has been developed, using ultrasonic action and mechanical mixing of the composite mixture to achieve the most uniform distribution of nanotubes in the matrix. To determine the possibility of implementing the mechanism of adsorption interaction of the studied polymer material with the surface of carbon nanotubes, DFT calculations of the interaction of the polymer material component and single-layer carbon nanotubes of various types have been done.

Abstract Effects of filler on mechanical properties of composites result from stress concentrations developed in the matrix and filler particles. Stress concentrations in filler particles relieve stress in the matrix which, under a given load, deforms less than it would in absence of filler. This accounts for high modulus as well as strength reinforcement in filled materials. Stress concentration in the matrix, decreasing with increasing content of filler, is responsible for internal tearing of composites. Magnitude of this internal tearing, which can be measured by volume increase of a specimen under strain, depends on many factors such as: shape of filler, orientation of filler particles, particle size, particle size distribution, nature of boundary layer between filler and matrix, crosslink density and tear properties of the matrix, as well as environmental pressure in the test. High dilatation results in low tensile strength of the composite and conversely if dilatation is suppressed maximum strength reinforcement is obtained.

this work is devoted to the problem of developing vibration-damping polymer materials with high damping properties in a wide temperature range. The study of the effect of modifying additives on the strength, damping, adhesive and cohesive properties of a butyl rubber composite is the aim of this work. The task is to identify the actual temperature, frequency, dynamic and mechanical characteristics of a composite material based on butyl rubber depending on the type and concentration of resins. The key methods for studying this problem is the dynamic mechanical analysis method, aimed at obtaining information about changes in the dynamic properties of polymer materials (bond strength with metal when peeling samples of composites, determining the flow resistance of samples, determining the migration of plasticizer). Due to the established experimental dependences, it was found that the addition of resins (3% by weight) in the composition based on butyl rubber leads to an increase in the damping properties of composite materials, and an increase to (4.25% by weight) leads to their decrease. It was established that the obtained filled mixtures with a high damping peak and good adhesive and strength properties are mixtures with the addition of alkyl phenol-formaldehyde resins.
