ACTIVATION OF FILLER PARTICLES IN HYBRID COMPOSITE POLYMER MATERIALS UNDER SOLAR CURING

This paper examines the chemical reaction occurring between a polymer matrix and a substrate under the combined action of solar energy and ambient room temperature. Industrial kaolin grades of varying grade and locally sourced mineral graphite were used as fillers, and their mechanical activation was studied in relation to interstructural plasticization and the resulting performance of hybrid composite polymer materials (HCPM). The optimal filler content was established on the basis of processed experimental data [1].
