Comparative Study of the Impregnability of High-Strength Glass and Basalt Fibers
Summary
This materials engineering paper studies the impregnation properties of glass and basalt fibers with epoxy resins for composite material manufacturing; the term 'microplastics' here refers to small fiber-reinforced plastic composite specimens, not environmental pollutants. It has no relevance to microplastic pollution or human health.
Comparative studies of the impregnability of high-strength and basalt fibers, treated and untreated by emulsions of film-formers, by epoxy binders with different curing agents were conducted. Differences in the surface treatment of high-strength and basalt fibers were found by determining the impregnation along the height of capillary rise of the binder. The effect of surface treatment on the change in strength of the tested filaments and microplastics based on them was determined.
