Elastomeric Fire and Heat-Protective Materials Containing Functionally Active Microheterogeneous Systems.

This research aims to explore how functionally active structures affect the physical, mechanical, thermal, and fire-resistant properties of elastomeric compositions using ethylene-propylene-diene rubber as a base. The inclusion of aluminosilicate microspheres, microfibers, and a phosphorus-boron-nitrogen-organic modifier in these structures creates a synergistic effect, enhancing the material's heat-insulating properties by strengthening coke and carbonization processes. This results in a 12-19% increase in heating time for unheated sample surfaces and a 6-17% increase in residual coke compared to existing analogs.

Functionally Active Microheterogeneous Systems for Elastomer Fire- and Heat-Protective Materials.

Elastomeric materials are utilized for the short-term protection of products and structures operating under extreme conditions in the aerospace, marine, and oil and gas industries. This research aims to study the influence of functionally active structures on the physical, mechanical, thermophysical, and fire- and heat-protective characteristics of elastomer compositions. The physical and mechanical properties of elastomer samples were determined using Shimazu AG-Xplus, while morphological research into microheterogeneous systems and coke structures was carried out on a scanning electronic microscope, Versa 3D.
