OPTIMIZATION OF THE COMPOSITION AND FORMING TECHNOLOGY OF BIOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL WITH A CONTENT OF FILLERS OF PLANT ORIGIN

Abstract

The compressive strength limit of biocomposite materials filled with wood flour particles and chopped stalks of grain crops in a complex ratio was determined. The optimal composition of fillers of natural origin has been established. This made it possible to obtain biocomposite materials with high compressive strength. The effectiveness of the preliminary heat treatment of the composition, which ensures the removal of moisture in the optimal amount, has been determined. The formation of a biocomposite material with high density is achieved as a result of the compact arrangement of components in the biopolymer matrix. The influence of additional heat treatment on compressive strength, which determines the stiffness of the glutinous matrix and the elasticity of the chopped stalks of cereal crops, was investigated.
