Kulinich V. Development of modified polymer composite materials for repair and increasing the reliability of vehicle parts

The dissertation is designed for solving a scientific and technical problem, regarding creation of new modified and filled with dispersed particles of protective coatings with improved anti-corrosion properties for repairing and increasing the reliability of vehicles, as well as establishing patterns of physical mechanical and thermophysical properties with materials governing the predicted introduction into the binder of additives at the optimal content. The work’s relevance lies in the widespread usage of polymer coatings in various industries, including transport to increase the durability of metal parts through improved corrosion protection. Epoxy-based polymer coatings are distinguished by a number of advantages due to the presence of improved physical, mechanical and thermophysical properties. According to this background, their physical and chemical modification and filling with dispersed particles is promising, due to arranging the formation of a material with improved properties. Accordingly, it is important to study the complex effect of the ingredients in the complex for ensuring of the corrosion resistance’s presence for protective coatings. The purpose of the work is to establish the critical content of modifiers and filler on the properties of the formed composite materials and to issue recommendations for the creation on their basis of coatings with improved anticorrosion properties to increase the reliability of vehicle parts.
