ABSTRACT
Ultimate strength and softening temperature of the polymer composites based on diane epoxy resin (ER) (type ED-20) and low-density polyethylene (PE) with unmodified and modified by tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) mineral basalt are described. Comparison of experimental results obtained for investigated composites shows that they containing modified filler have more high values of mentioned above parameters than composites with the unmodified filler at definite loading. The maximum of ultimate strength for composites with modified filler is higher than that for composites with unmodified filler. First composites have also higher softening temperatures. Dependence of the properties of composites has an extreme character-maximums of the technical parameters appear the composites with definite concentrations of filler. Experimental results are explained in terms of structural peculiarities of polymer composites.
