INVESTIGATION OF THE PROPERTIES OF BIOCOMPOSITES FILLED WITH THE HIGHLY DISPERSED STARCH POWDER

Abstract

The influence of starch content on the adhesive strength and impact strength of biocomposite coatings is determined in  the article. Hardness, compressive strength, impact strength, stress state, gel fraction content and chemical stability of  biocomposites with medium and high starch content were studied. The influence of the filler on the physical and mechanical  characteristics of biocomposites filled with starch depending on the degree of filling of the system is analyzed. The filler  content in the epoxy polymer matrix is optimized. This allows us to recommend the obtained biocomposite material for the  manufacture of products in different applications depending on operating conditions.
