Cluster polymers composites on basis of diamond containing nanocarbon of explosive synthesis

Abstract

The creation of cluster composites, that is composite polymer materials, with ultradispersed phase, is at the moment considered the most perspective way of creation of rubbers of a new generation [1]. One probable way of achievement of this purpose is synthesis of ultradispersed clusters [2]. In this connection researches in the development of methods of synthesis of such phases, and methods of their distribution in bulk of polymers are carried out very actively. In the last decade considerable study is being given to the process of explosive synthesis of diamond containing nanocarbon (DC). Particles of DC are defined as fractal clusters, and registered by X-ray analysis the sizes of particles of diamond allotropy range from 6 to 12 nm. Thus the input of a cluster in an elastomer matrix can be carried out by its synthesis in situ, or through introduction in rubber separately as a synthesized modifier. The comparative analysis of results of the elastomers using these two probable mechanisms has shown an advantage of in the separately synthesized modifier method.
