Abstract

The feasibility of using a combined method for the separation of powdered polymers activated by dispersed metals is established. Vibration, together with the transfer of the studied polymer mixture to a fluidized state, can more effectively separate the mixture into fractions with different metal contents. The design of the installation makes it possible to unload individual fractions of the mixture for their further analysis, which is important for laboratory research. The fatigue life of thin-sheet specimens made of powdered polyvinyl chloride activated with dispersed zinc under pure bending, is studied. Fractographic features of fractures are identified.
