RESEARCH OF PROPERTIES OF BIOCOMPOSITES FILLED WITH DISCRETE NATURAL FIBERS

Abstract

The influence of discrete fibers of technical hemp and flax on physical and mechanical properties and structure of biocomposites based on epoxy resin is investigated in the article. The degree of structuring, adhesive strength and compressive strength of highly filled biocomposites were determined. The content of fibrous fillers in the epoxy polymer matrix is optimized. These biocomposite materials have high mechanical properties, are resistant to atmospheric factors. These materials are partially biodegradable, which increases environmental safety during the stages of manufacture, operation and recycling or disposal of products, as they containnaturalfiller.
