APPLICATION OF POLYMER COMPOSITE MATERIALS IN SEALING DEVICES OF WEAPONS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT
The article presents examples of application of polymer composite materials in some sealing devices and assemblies of multi-purpose tracked and wheeled vehicles. The authors consider the results of the study of the operability of a hydropneumatic device with sealing elements made of polymer composite material subjected to long-term storage under conditions of accelerated aging. They show that the material under study, after the prolonged exposure to high temperature and pressure, has an ability to maintain its mechanical and tribotechnical properties.
