Basalt and Different Fillers Used for Polymers

Аннотация

Localization of fillers added to polymeric materials is considered one of the urgent issues in Japan. Localization of fillers makes it possible to reduce costs in the construction of industrial enterprises by up to 30% and reduce the production time of polymer composite products by up to 2 times, increase labor productivity by several times and, accordingly, reduce the cost of finished products by optimizing jobs. The unrepeatable rich composition of basalt ore leads to an increase in its field of use. This gives scientists the task of creating new technologies by making changes to traditional technologies that are theoretically and practically important in production. Among these tasks, the development of technologies for using local raw materials - natural basalt as a filler for polymers - is of particular importance.Currently, scientific research is being conducted in the world to increase thermostability of polymer composite materials, tolerance to aggressive environments, increase shelf life, improve physical and mechanical properties, and study the effect of fillers added to these properties. In this regard, it is necessary to expand the capabilities of materials for long-term and extreme conditions. Special attention is paid to natural basalt and reinforcing fillers.
