Physical and Mechanical Properties of Modified Continuous Basalt Fiber for the Production of Polymer Composite Materials: Experimental Study
Summary
This engineering study tested a nanomodifier additive in lubricant formulations used during the production of composite polymer fibers. Adding the modifier at optimal concentrations improved the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting materials by 12-25%.
The possibility and technical efficiency of the use of the FA-513 nanomodifier in the formulations of lubricants (Nos. 76 and 4S) are confirmed. The optimal concentrations of FA-513 are found with an impregnation method for lubricants in the production of microplastics. The resulting microplastics exhibit increases in physical and mechanical properties of 12–25%.
