The behavior of a crack in steel with the structure of a ferriticmartensitic composite is studied. The modes of heat treatment for obtaining a composite structure with alternating layers of ferrite and martensite are given. The kinetics of crack development during cyclic tests was studied. The obtained data show that the rate of development of the crack in the material with the structure of the composite is substantially lower than for the usual sorbite structure. It is shown that the frontal growth of the crack in the composite is carried out with “stops”, on which the matrix deforms and its stratification occurs in the direction normal to the front of the crack motion.

The article presents the potential impact of flat drive and transport belts on people’s safety during a fire. The analysis distinguished belts made of classically used fabric–rubber composite materials reinforced with cord and currently used multilayer polymer composites. Moreover, the products’ multilayers during the thermal decomposition and combustion can be a source of emissions for unpredictable and toxic substances with different concentrations and compositions. In the evaluation of the compared belts, a testing methodology was used to determine the toxicometric indicators (WLC50SM) on the basis of which it was possible to determine the toxicity of thermal decomposition and combustion products in agreement with the standards in force in several countries of the EU and Russia. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the registration of emissions of chemical compounds during the thermal decomposition and combustion of polymer materials at three different temperatures. Moreover, the degradation kinetics of the polymeric belts by using the thermogravimetric (TGA) technique was evaluated. Test results have shown that products of thermal decomposition resulting from the neoprene (NE22), leder leder (LL2), thermoplastic connection (TC), and extra high top cower (XH) belts can be characterized as moderately toxic or toxic. Their toxicity significantly increases with the increasing temperature of thermal decomposition or combustion, especially above 450 °C. The results showed that the belts made of several layers of polyamide can be considered the least toxic in fire conditions. The TGA results showed that NBR/PA/PA/NBR belt made with two layers of polyamide and the acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber has the highest thermal stability in comparison to other belts.

The process of thermal-oxidative degradation of polymer materials has been studied on the example of polyethylene in the presence of quinones and / or nitroxyl radicals. The synergistic effect of the positive action of a mixture of stabilisers from a number of quinones and nitroxyl radicals on the destructive process of polyethylene has been established. It has been shown that the rate of degradation has significantly slowed down when an equimolecular mixture of 4-acetylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylhexahydropyridine-1-oxyl and 2,6-di-tert-amyl-1,4-cyclohexadienone inhibitors has been introduced into the polymer. The kinetics of the initiated thermo-destructive process of polyethylene oxidation in the presence and absence of stabilisers has been studied. A mechanism of joint action of stabilisers based on their interaction with radicals and the breakage of radical chains, as well as a mechanism for the regeneration of stabilisers, has been proposed.

Постановка задачи. Изучено изменение упруго-прочностных показателей и кинетики накопления повреждений в эпоксидных полимерах под действием растягивающих нагрузок в контрольном состоянии и после натурного климатического воздействия в течение одного календарного года. Расчет кинетики накопления повреждений осуществлялся на основе авторской методики, основанной на использовании методов фрактального анализа кривых деформирования образцов полимерных материалов при растяжении. Результаты. Предложен удельный показатель θ, позволяющий количественно оценивать суммарное число повреждений на единицу прочности, накопление которого приводит к разрушению полимеров. Получены аппроксимирующие зависимости, описывающие взаимосвязь между удельным показателем θ и пределом прочности эпоксидных полимеров при растяжении. Выводы. Установлено, что наибольшей стабильностью свойств под действием натурного климатического воздействия обладает полимер на основе эпоксидной смолы «Этал-247». Statement of the problem. In the current study we look at the change in the elastic-strength performance and kinetics of damage accumulation in epoxy polymers under tensile loads in the control state and after full-scale climatic exposure during one calendar year were studied. Damage accumulation kinetics was calculated based on the author's method using methods of fractal analysis of deformation curves for polymer materials samples under tension. Results. We proposed specific index θ to quantify the total number of damages per unit of strength where its accumulation leads to the destruction of polymers. The dependences have been obtained that describe the relationship between specific index θ and tensile strength of epoxy polymers. Consclusion. The study has shown that the Etal-247 epoxy resin-based polymer cured with Etal-1440 amine hardener has the most stable properties under the full-scale climatic exposure.

Nucleation plays a vital role in polymer crystallization, in which chain connectivity and thus the multiple length and time scales make crystal nucleation of polymer chains an interesting but complex subject. Though the topic has been intensively studied in the past decades, there are still many open questions to answer. The final properties of semicrystalline polymer materials are affected by all of the following: the starting melt, paths of nucleation, organization of lamellar crystals and evolution of the final crystalline structures. In this viewpoint, we attempt to discuss some of the remaining open questions and corresponding concepts: non-equilibrated polymers, self-induced nucleation, microscopic kinetics of different processes, metastability of polymer lamellar crystals, hierarchical order and cooperativity involved in nucleation, etc. Addressing these open questions through a combination of novel concepts, new theories and advanced approaches provides a deeper understanding of the multifaceted process of crystal nucleation of polymers.
