Technology for improving modern polymer composite materials

Abstract

The purpose of the work was to determine the properties of the developed material (bitumen). In this study, the technological process was improved by modifying low-molecular weight butadiene and chloroprene rubbers structured with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to obtain a material with the necessary set of desired properties. The article shows the possibility of modifying the bituminous binder of asphalt concrete with elastomeric rubbers structured with CNTs. The article also considers the use of promising polymer composite materials and the increase in their reliability and service life. Improvements in the properties of the composite and in the technology due to direct reinforcement with nanomaterials are described. The article defines the areas of application and recommended improvement of composite materials, as well as existing limitations.
