Study of Thermophysical Properties of Polymer Materials Enhanced by Nanosized Particles

In this work, the object of study is an epoxy nanocomposite based on TiO2 nanoparticles and epoxy resin, and the subject is the preparation and physical and mechanical properties of TiO2/epoxy nanocomposites. The characteristics of the properties and methods of synthesis of the initial components for the synthesis of epoxy nanocomposites - epoxy resins and nanoparticles of titanium dioxide are given, and data on epoxy nanocomposites based on nanoparticles of titanium dioxide are presented. It was found that the addition of TiO2 to the epoxy matrix reduces the coefficient of friction and significantly increases the wear resistance of such nanocomposites.
