Abstract
AbstractSamples of composites based on polystyrene with addition of halloysite nanotubes, mica, and montmorillonite aluminosilicates are obtained and the influence of these fillers on viscoelastic, mechanical, and structural properties of composites is studied. It is shown that an addition of up to 5% of mica can increase the rigidity of composites along with maintaining their strength at the level of pure polystyrene and without considerable embrittlement of samples. The addition of halloysite nanotubes and montmorillonite also increases the material stiffness but reduces its strength and elasticity. A significant (up to 50%) increase in the bending elasticity modulus of the composite was achieved by addition of 15% of halloysite nanotubes or 5% of mica.
