PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF GLUTIN BIOCOMPOSITES FILLED WITH WOOD FLOUR

Abstract

The compressive strength of biocomposite materials based on glutine matrix filled with wood flour powder under conditions of prolonged exposure to high and low temperatures is determined. The intensity of destruction of biocomposite materials in the environment of cold and hot water, chemicals and salt solutions has been studied. An increase in the resistance of biocomposites to the action of static loads under the influence of low temperatures due to a decrease in the mobility of segments of macromolecules of the gluten matrix has been established. High stability in the medium of sodium chloride solution was also established due to the decrease in the adsorption capacity of the solution. Long-term resistance of gluten biocomposites to moisture and sufficient resistance to short-term exposure to cold water are shown.
