Influence of various forms of cellulose on the mechanical properties of polymer composites modified in a constant magnetic field

Abstract

The paper presents the study of polymer composites on epoxy resin matrix, polymerized in the environment of a constant magnetic field. The composites contained admixtures of various forms of cellulose – microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose from waste hemp straw fibers – in an amount ranging from 10 to 30 wt%. Changes in the mechanical properties due to the effect of a constant magnetic field with a magnetic induction value of B = 0.5 T. The composites additionally contained magnetic particles in the form of carbonyl iron, in the amount of 10 wt%.
