Abstract
The paper considers the problem of combining a non-polar polymer matrix and a polar agricultural origin filler in thermoplastic composites. The following types of modifiers were used during the study: Maleid F, activator BKT-2, chlorine paraffin HP1100. The research objective was to evaluate the possibility of using these modifiers in thermoplastic composites with a polymer matrix. Chopped barley straw with a particle size of 200 … 300 microns and a moisture content of 6.5% was used as a agricultural origin filler. Components compounding was carried out on a HAAKE PolyLab 600 OS two-rotary blender mixer at a temperature of 150 °C and rotor speeds of 50 rpm. Samples for physical and mechanical, and rheological characteristics were obtained by compression molding on a Gibitre hydraulic press. The following operational and technological characteristics were determined for the obtained composites samples: tensile strength and tensile modulus, water absorption, density, dependence of dynamic viscosity and dynamic elastic modulus on the rotor angular velocity. It has been shown that the introduction of 5% of the studied modifiers significantly improves the physical and mechanical characteristics, while maintaining the manufacturability of the compositions.
