Structuraland Mechanical Properties of Polymer—Paraffin Composites

Abstract

The deformation—strength (strength and plasticity) and dilatometric properties (contraction or volume shrinkage) of binary composites of food paraffin P-1 and the polymers low-pressure polyethylene, polyethylene waxes, atactic polypropylene, and copolymers of ethylene and vinylacetate are investigated. The structural and mechanical properties of the polymer—paraffin composites are plotted as functions of composition. The dependences of these properties on the content of modifying component in the P-1 composites are compared.
