It is possible to efficiently change the mechanical characteristics of polymer materials and simultaneously opti- mize its cost via micro particle fillers. Inclusion of hard inorganics particles on the basis of metal powders most- ly leads to increase of hardness and wear resistance of polymers. These properties can be used in many applica- tion areas, for example in agriculture. Optimization of adhesive and cohesive characteristic is possible with these fillers under certain conditions. This paper describes the possibility of filling the reactoplastics represented with epoxy resin filled with hard inorganic powder on the Fe-basis, when the wear resistance and fundamental adhe- sive characteristics are evaluated. Inclusion of Fe-based powder led to increased resistance against to two-body abrasion of 69% while the adhesive characteristics stayed preserved.

Abstract
It is possible to efficiently change the mechanical characteristics of polymer materials and simultaneously opti- mize its cost via micro particle fillers. Inclusion of hard inorganics particles on the basis of metal powders most- ly leads to increase of hardness and wear resistance of polymers. These properties can be used in many applica- tion areas, for example in agriculture. Optimization of adhesive and cohesive characteristic is possible with these fillers under certain conditions. This paper describes the possibility of filling the reactoplastics represented with epoxy resin filled with hard inorganic powder on the Fe-basis, when the wear resistance and fundamental adhe- sive characteristics are evaluated. Inclusion of Fe-based powder led to increased resistance against to two-body abrasion of 69% while the adhesive characteristics stayed preserved.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
