Abstract
The structure and properties of composite materials based on amorphous thermoplastics and detonation nanodiamonds are studied. The conception of the “rheological method” is advanced for compatibilization of a polymer and a filler under the regime of elastic turbulence (spurt) for preparation of composites with a high level of dispersion and a homogeneous distribution of nanodiamond particles. As a rule, the dependences of strength and physicomechanical characteristics of the nanocomposites on the content of the dispersed phase are described by curves with an extremum or saturation. The concentration of the filler corresponding to the extremum or the approach to the plateau value for a specific parameter depends on the nature of the polymer matrix and is attained at filler contents below 2.5 wt %. The elastic modulus monotonically increases as the content of nanodiamonds is increased to 5 wt %.Keywords
