Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of polymeric composites prepared via extrusion and injection moulding. Four stable thermoplastic polymers were used as composites matrices (two kinds of polymethyl methacrylate and two kinds of co-polymer acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene). Silver nanoparticles AgNPs were used as a modifying phase. Mechanical properties of testes materials were determined during the uniaxial stretching. Surface properties such as roughness and contact angle were also evaluated. The materials' stability was assessed using scanning electron microscopy and non-destructive ultrasonic testing. All measurements were carried out at time intervals, determining both the initial parameters and after 6 and 12 months of incubation in deionized water. The obtained results proved that neither the preparation technology nor the amount of the modifier adversely affect the mechanical properties of the tested composites. The incorporated modifier does not change the surface properties significantly. The studies conducted after the materials' incubation in water indicate their stability.
