RELAXATION OF POLYMER COMPOSITE MATERIALS UNDER THE PROLONGED ACTION OF STATIC LOAD AND CLIMATE (review) Part 1. Binders

The development of methods for assessing the creep of polymer composite material depending on the current loads and climatic factors is an urgent task. The binder made of polymer reactoplastics is an amorphous structure and is capable of plastic deformation – creep under the action of a long-term and insignificant static load. Methods of accelerated and full-scale testing of binder samples are proposed in order to determine the degree and time of change in the shape of parts depending on the properties of the material and the current climate factors.
