STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF COMPLEX-COMPOSITE STRUCTURES ON THE THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POLYMER ADDITIVE MATERIALS
Abstract
Objectives The use of additive technologies is one of the promising areas for improving the production of products for various purposes in the transition to a digital economy. Method. Layered construction of objects of complex shape in accordance with the developed solid-state model from materials with different mechanical and thermal properties allows directionally controlling the distribution of various components in the volume of the composite material and forming topological structures that provide a rational balance between various performance characteristics and reliability of the product. Result. Based on experimental studies, it has been established that reinforcing topological reinforcement of 3D printing objects made from ABS plastic with a composite consisting of carbon fibers and ED-20 epoxy resin, along with an increase in flexural strength and tensile strength, contributes to an increase in thermal conductivity of the material by more than 18% and thermal diffusivity - by 20%. A computer simulation of elementary cells of a composite material consisting of a polymer matrix, carbon fiber and special core inclusions with high thermal conductivity was performed, which made it possible to further increase thermal conductivity depending on the relative fiber diameter and the percentage of the additional component in an amount from 46 to 75%. Conclusion It is shown that additive technologies are an effective tool for creating universal topologies that allow technologically managing a combination of both mechanical and thermophysical properties of structural materials by determining the rational relative position of their components depending on the purpose and level of achievement of the required characteristics.
