Abstract:

Utilization of industrial waste and secondary raw materials, in particular, in the production of metallic silicon and silicon-containing alloys, which include silica vapors (microsilica), is the main task of implementing environmental policy and solves the problem of their storage and negative impact on the environment, in order to reuse them in polymer composites. The use of microsilica as a filler in composite materials based on epoxy resins contributes to a positive effect on the basic properties of the resin, and also makes it possible to use the composite material as coatings and parts in the repair of machinery and equipment. The aim of the work was to establish the positive effect of microsilica as a filler in composite materials based on ED-20 epoxy resin on improving the physical and mechanical properties of composite materials. Within the framework of this work, studies were conducted to test composite materials based on ED-20 epoxy resin, differing in different filler content of 2, 5, 10, 15 wt. % on impact strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, adhesion and impact strength of the coating. The analysis of the obtained results showed a positive effect of microsilica as a filler in composite materials based on ED-20 epoxy resin on the physical and mechanical properties of the composite material. The optimal filler content was determined, which is 2 % of the mass of the ED-20 epoxy resin, while an increase in adhesion, toughness of the composite material by 45 %, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity by 21 % and 5 %, respectively, and the strength of the coating on impact by 32 %, compared with the addition of microsilica in ED-20, which shows the prospects of using microsilica as a filler in composite materials Supporting Agency This study was conducted within the framework of a funded scientific project by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (grant no. AP09058166). The study was conducted in the laboratory of the Kazakh Agrotechnical Research University.
