SELECTION OF POLYMER BINDING FILLING MATERIALS FOR KPM

Abstract

This article covers the selection of types of polymer binders and fillers for composite polymer materials (CPM) and the formation of their optimal composition. In the study, the influence of local fillers - kaolin, graphite, silk waste, and chlorinated polyethylene - on the mechanical and tribotechnical properties of composite coatings based on epoxy resin ED-20 was studied. Based on the experimental results, effective ways of modifying the KPM structure were determined, and the possibilities of obtaining high-strength, wear-resistant, and energy-saving coatings were analyzed.
