Research on the rheological properties of highly filled epoxy composites

The work investigated the influence of the nature of the binder and filler modifier on the rheological properties of epoxy composites based on ED-20 resin. The binder was modified by introducing epoxidized soybean oil and a mixture of polyvinyl butyral with epoxidized soybean oil. Copper polyvinyl chloride, and aluminum oxide, as well as their mixture, were used as fillers. It was found that filling and modification of the matrix change the nature of the flow curves. The resulting composites are characterized by a uniform distribution of the filler. 

Мodification of epoxy polymers with metalorganic complexes

A new type of epoxyamine composition containing a copper (II) metalorganic complex has been created. The mechanism for obtaining the complex is developed. The structure and properties of the modified materials have been explored and analyzed, as well the relationship between them has been determined. A copper (II) chelate complex has been obtained and applied as a hardener for epoxyamine compositions.  It has also been found that the complex mentioned reduces the flammability of materials during the structuring. 

Study on the Technical Lignin Effect on the Road Bitumen Properties

The effect of technical lignin on the characteristics of road bitumen obtained by oxidation of petroleum residues (oxidized bitumen) was examined. Two samples of hydrolysis-type technical lignin, obtained as a by-product of the production of feed yeast, were used. The first sample was technical lignin purified by sieving to remove unprocessed plant material. The second sample was technical lignin, purified by sieving to remove unprocessed plant material and flotation enrichment to remove inorganic components.

Sorption of copper ions with natural clinoptilolite under the action of ultrasound in the isothermal mode

The sorption of copper ions from a solution of copper(II) sulfate by the native form of natural clinoptilolite under mechanical stirring and under the action of ultrasonic radiation of different power and under different modes of process implementation (continuous and cyclic) was investigated. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that ultrasonic vibrations significantly intensify the diffusion processes in the studied system.

Study of sorption of Мn2+ ions by natural clinoptilolite

The process of modification of natural clinoptilolite, pre-enriched by the main component, with manganese ions from nitrate solutions as precursors for obtaining manganese(IV) oxide was studied. The value of the sorption capacity of different fractions of clinoptilolite with respect to manganese ions at room temperature was determined, and the sorption rate and rate constants of this process were calculated. The influence of the concentration of manganese nitrate solution on the sorption capacity of certain fractions of zeolite was determined.

The Influence of Organic and Inorganic Additives on the Specific Electrical Resistance of Coke

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of both inorganic (boron carbide nanopowders and silicon carbide (carborundum) and organic lean (petroleum coke) additives on the quality of coke produced in a laboratory furnace, as well as on its electrical properties. Analyzing the results of the quality assessment of the obtained coke, it can be argued that the addition of a fixed amount $(0.25-0.5 \ wt.\%)$ of non-caking nanoadditives allows to regulate the process in the plastic state in order to increase the coke strength.

ТECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES OF OBTAINING STARCH-CONTAINING POLYLACTIDE MATERIALS FOR 3D PRINTING

Polylactide composite materials with organic filler-modifier starch, inorganic filler -calcium carbonate and plasticizer - epoxidized soybean oil for 3D printing have been developed. On the basis of the modular deformation method of calculation the elastic-plastic and deformation properties of the developed modified polylactide materials are determined. The change of modulus of deformation, modulus of elasticity, modulus of high elasticity depending on the composition of the composite is revealed.

Influence of Potassium Humate on the Technological Aging Processes of Oxidized Petroleum Bitumen

The possibility of using potassium humate as an inhibitor of the technological aging of oxidized petro-leum bitumen has been investigated. Samples of potas-sium humate obtained from various raw materials, in particular peat and leonardite, were selected and compared. Aging coefficients have been calculated and operational properties of modified bitumen as a binding material for hot mix asphalt have been investigated. It was established that 3.0 wt.

Influence of Natural Clinoptilolite Modification with Ions and Zero-Valent Silver on Its Sorption Capacity

Areas of use of natural clinoptilolite were analyzed. The emphasis was placed on its application in water technology and medical practice. The results of the study of the dehydration of clinoptilolite at different temperatures were presented. The influence of the activation temperature of clinoptilolite on its sorption capacity for silver ions was determined. The effect of modification with ions and highly dispersed silver particles on the sorption capacity of various zeolite fractions with respect to water was investigated.

Effect of Modifying the Clinoptilolite-Containing Rocks of Transcarpathia on Their Porous Characteristics and Catalytic Properties in the Conversion of C6-Hydrocarbons

The efficiency of modifying the Ukrainian clinoptilolite-containing rocks to improve their adsorption and catalytic properties was evaluated based on the data of XRD, IR spectroscopy, low-temperature N2 adsorption, and testing in the micropulse catalytic transformation of C6-hydrocarbons. The effect of such modification on the distribution of reaction products was established.
