Structural-mechanical properties of organosilicate composites with introduced curing agents

A systematic investigation on the rheological properties of five organosilicate suspensions of the “polyorganosiloxane-muscovite-talc-rutile-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-toluene” composition is undertaken. It is established that the sedimentation processes affect the energy characteristics of the surface of the organosilicate coatings prepared by curing the initial suspensions. The chemical processes occurring during long-term storage of the composites with introduced curing agents have an effect on the redistribution of the contributions from the polar and dispersion components to the total surface energy of the coating.
