PROPAGATION OF THE WAVES OF PHYSICOCHEMIC AL TRANSFORMATIONS IN POLYMERIC COMPOSITES CONTAINING INERT AND ENERGY-LIBERATING COMPONENTS

Problems involved in organization and investigation of the wave regime s of structural-chemical transformations in polymeric composites conta ining inert and energy-liberating components are considered. It is pos sible to organize the process in such a manner that the transformation waves would produce no significant changes the chemical structure of polymer matrix, as demonstrated for a system composed of poly(isocyanu rate), silicon carbide (inert filler), and granulated cellulose nitrat e (energy-liberating component). Dependence of the maximum temperature in the transformation wave on the system composition was established using a microthermocouple method.
