Abstract
In this paper, the influence of the concentration and length of chopped carbon fiber on the physical and mechanical characteristics of siloxane matrix was investigated. It is shown that the highest values can be achieved at 2–5 wt % loading of chopped carbon fiber with a length of 3 mm. In this case, the elastic modulus increases by five to eight times in comparison with unmodified composite. Destruction of such materials takes place in accordance with an adhesive–cohesive mechanism, which testifies to the existence of relative adhesion of siloxane binder to carbon fiber.
