composite plastics with microdispersions of SiC, TiN and cement

New data on the eff ect of a SiC and TiN fi llers on the practically important properties of epoxy polymer are presented. The possibilities for a signifi cant increase in microhardness – 1.5–2 times, bending modulus (1.4–1.7 times), compressive strength (for SiC), abrasion resistance and chemical resistance (in nitric acid and acetone/ethyl acetate) are established. At the same time, the thermal stability of the compositions and their strength properties is substantially increased. This is manifested in the eff ects of strengthening (compared with the unfi lled analogue) and plasticization of such composites after temperatures that destroy the ordinary polyepoxides (200–300°C. These eff ects are not covered in the literature and are named by the author as “eff ects of thermal strengthening and thermoplasticization of epoxy composites”.
