Influence of Microwave on the Structure and Properties of Nanomodified Fluoroplastic

Abstract

Polymers modified with carbon nanomaterials exhibit enhanced electrical conductivity. The modifier, which is qualitatively distributed in the polymer matrix, actively absorbs microwave waves even with an extremely small introduced volume (up to 1.5 mass parts). Photographs obtained by scanning electron microscopy indicate a uniform distribution of carbon nanotubes in the matrix of fluoroplastic 4. The microwave treatment of the obtained composites showed a significant increase in the temperature of the samples with a heating time of up to 100 sec. even with minimal amounts of modifier added. Strength characteristics for a uniaxial plant of modified materials after microwave increase by 40-50%. The obtained modified materials based on a non-polar polymer matrix have enhanced characteristics of absorption of microwave radiation.
