Abstract

The effect of the flow of atomic oxygen (AO) on highly filled composites of a high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and a superfine silicon-organic filler is investigated. Erosion coefficients after the treatment with AO are calculated, and the postirradiation relief of the composites is studied by the method of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A physicomathematical simulation of erosion processes is performed on the basis of the obtained data.
