Высокопрочные фторопластовые композиты с повышенной сопротивляемостью к деформациям под нагрузкой

Abstract

This paper presents the results of research on the development of technology for plastic deformation of polymer blanks based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and carbon fibers of the UVIS-AK-P brand in order to increase their strength and creep resistance. The dependence of the physico-mechanical and tribotechnical characteristics of the obtained composites is investigated and compared with a composite of the same composition, but obtained using a previously developed technology. It is established that the use of plastic deformation technology for the properties of PCM based on PTFE and carbon fibers of the brand UVIS-AK-P is an effective solution for obtaining high-strength, wear-resistant composites, characterized by increased resistance to tensile loads. The developed composites obtained using plastic deformation are characterized by 3 times increased tensile strength and 22 – 29 times reduced creep compared to the original PTFE obtained by standard technology. Structural studies of the technology of plastic deformation of polymer blanks have shown that this technology leads to the orientation of the carbon fiber (CF) in the direction of the flow of the material and a change in the spiral conformation of macromolecules with a transition to a more stable conformation, which favorably affects its operational properties. The use of this method will make it possible to obtain high-strength polymer materials with increased resistance to deformation, promising for use for loading schemes with high tensile loads.
