Rheological properties of liquid ebonite compositions filled with shungite

The effect of shungite on the structural and viscous-flow properties of compositions based on oligobutadiene was studied. The strength of coagulation structures of ebonite compositions filled with shungite was determined. The critical filling concentration was established and it is 40 wt.% of shungite per 100 wt.% of oligobutadiene. It was shown that increasing the temperature from 200C to 800C leads to a significant reduction in the shear stress required to destroy the structure of the composition. Temperature and shear rate independently affect the structured composition. Thus, it was shown that shungite powder can be used as a filler in liquid ebonite compositions based on oligobutadiene.
