Abstract
The structure of polyurethane and the physico-chemical properties of its components are considered. The most promising modifiers have been selected: TiO2, CaCO3. The features of the preparation of the studied polyurethane mixture, its composition, manufacturing technology and equipment are described in detail. The geometric properties, manufacturing processes and testing methods of samples are presented. The graphical dependencies of the influence of the parameters of sample preparation on their mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile stress at break, Jung`s modulus are given. The rational parameters of the technology for the production of samples modified with fillers to give them stable mechanical properties have been set. The maximum proportions of these fillers in polyurethane rubber are limited to 30-35%. It is proved that the addition of TiО2 and CaCО3 to the composition of polyurethane rubbers gives them special properties that allow them to expand the range of their industrial usage.
