ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ADDING RUBBER RECYCLATE ON THE STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF EPOXY-GLASS COMPOSITES.

The article attempts to assess the possibility of using rubber recyclate as a component of composite materials. Research is being carried out to develop a technology for the production of composite materials with the addition of rubber waste. These tests are aimed at increasing the reliability and safety of the operation of structures exposed to longterm impact of devices generating vibrations. At the same time, work is underway on the use of complex composite surfaces as sound-absorbing elements. The new direction of using recyclates will have a positive impact on the management of environmentally harmful waste, taking into account a favorable economic factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
