BIOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS ON THE BASIS OF LEAVES

摘要

The work is devoted to investigation of the composites obtained on the basis of fine dispersive dry leaves and some organic and inorganic binders (phenylethoxysilane, polyethylene, colophony, wood glue and liquid glass). There were investigated the strength at bending, impact viscosity, softening dependence on temperature, water absorption of composites formed by method of hot pressing. It is shown, that the measured physical parameters of these materials essentially depend on their composition - type, concentration and number of binder ingredient. It must be noted that the effect of binder type on the properties of the composites was observed even in the materials containing very low (3-5 wt.%) amount of each binder. The numerical data of the measured parameters show that they depend on the composition of the materials differently.
