Abstract
The problems of creating high-strength composite materials based on ultrahigh-molecular polyethylene reinforced with basalt fiber are considered. In this work, organically modified basalt fiber was used applying a coupling agent and a surfactant. The fiber was introduced into the polymer matrix in concentration of 0.5, 1 and 2 wt. %. The method of scanning electron microscopy revealed an improvement in the interphase interaction between the components of polymer composite material.
