Abstract:
Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a thermoplastic resin commonly used as an interlayer material in laminated glass. Combined with textile fibres from worn tyres, PVB can produce a composite material with unique properties. One such property is absorption. Absorption in textile fibre composite materials refers to the ability of the material to absorb or retain moisture or other fluids. The presence of moisture or liquids can affect the properties of composite materials, such as their strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. As a result of the physical and chemical action of the environment, corrosion of plastics occurs and manifests itself in changes in appearance, surface quality, weight, dimensions, and also in changes in other properties. This paper investigates four composite materials with different fabrics content. The aim of this paper is to propose a generalized mathematical model for absorption values so that, with different ratios of textile fibre in the material, its quality indicators are at a sufficient level. Our study will proceed from the assumption that by changing the values of the individual coefficients of the selected model based on their analysis, we will achieve the required qualitative indicators.
