INFLUENCE OF FINELY DISPERSED CARBON FILLER ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF EPOXY MATRIX
Polymeric matrices for composites have a number of unique properties. Their improvement is actual task for researchers. Material with required properties can be gotten by varying matrix composition and proper selection of modifier. It is known that modifier with graphite nature improves electric and thermo conductivity, but its influence on mechanical properties is unsertain. It was shown in this research that strength and fracture toughness of modified polymeric matrices become worse, but tensile and flexure elastic modulus increases. It was found that water absorption of samples increases with modifier addition without dependence of its nature and concentration
