Search for a technological invariant and evolution of the structure–property relation for Polikon materials

Abstract

A general methodology of research is presented, and the evolution of ideas about the material Polikon is discussed. The optimal monomer ratio, used for preparing the impregnating composition, to promote the formation of the material with high performance characteristics has been revealed. Empirical equations relating the static exchange capacity to the fibrous matrix/impregnating composition ratio, compacting pressure, curing time, and fiber nature have been derived.
