Polymer Composites Based on Natural Minerals with Different Compositions and Their Strength Indicators

Abstract

The presented scientific research work is dedicated to solving the problem of obtaining polymer composite materials with various superior operational properties based on polyolefins and a number of natural mineral rocks characterized by their corresponding characteristics, and investigating the application possibilities of the created materials. In this regard, local natural mineral resources are prepared for research in laboratory conditions through technological processes and mixed with a polymer matrix using a physical-mechanical method. The resulting mixture is brought to a ready state for research and is introduced into the process. Composite samples created on the basis of polyolefin and mineral rock are sent for research in accordance with different ratios of the components that make up the composite. The goal is to find the optimal ratio and determine the material that reflects higher quality criteria. Research conducted in this direction has yielded positive results. Research work that meets the requirements of modern chemical science can be considered satisfactory from an ecological and economic perspective.
