REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE CHANGES IN THE PROPERTIES OF POLYMER MATERIALS DURING FULL-SCALE CLIMATIC AGING
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The paper provides the results of studying the effect of the moisture state of epoxy polymers on the change in their elastic-strength parameters during natural climatic aging in a temperate continental climate. The object of the study was a polymer material based on Etal-247 modified epoxy resin and Etal-45M hardener. Based on the results of the studies, we determined the similarity of the curves of the change in the tensile strength of the samples under tension in the limiting equilibrium-moisture states (dried and moisture-saturated). Depending on the duration of natural climatic aging, the range of variation in the tensile strength of samples in extreme moisture conditions is from 14 to 33% of the tensile strength in the dried state. The synergistic effect between irreversible structural changes in the polymer matrix under the effect of environmental factors and adsorbed moisture has been identified and quantified, which is expressed both in the expansion and contraction of the reversible moisture range effect. It has been established that for the late stages of natural climatic aging of epoxy polymer samples based on Etal-247 epoxy resin and Etal-45M hardener, a point of maximum elongation under tension does not coincide with the point corresponding to the dried state.
