Study of Polymer Inorganic Composites for Electromagnetic Radiation Absorption Using Potassium Titanates

Abstract

The article aims to investigate polymer inorganic composites for electromagnetic radiation absorption using potassium titanates. The selected polyamide 6 (durethane brand) and sodium polytitanate materials contain TiО2, K2СО3, and KCl received by charge sintering. Results showed that modification of polyamide 6 with sintering products in the form of a fine powder of potassium polytitanate with particle size 1-5 microns that contain the primary phase K2O × 2TiO2 with an admixture of a phase K2O × 4TiO2, which increased their strength properties. The optimal content of potassium polytitanate was over 10 % by mass. To fully ensure the reinforcing effect due to the filling of potassium polytitanate polyamide 6, it is necessary to use whiskers K2O × 6TiO2, which can be collected by the additional crystallization of the amorphous charge sintering product.
