Conclusions
-- Some special features of epoxy organoplastics based on highly oriented polyethylene fibres have been determined, which consist in a low strength in shear, compression, or transverse extension, which are 4–6 times less than those of composites based on aramide fibres and which are caused by low adhesive interaction.
-- Some basic ways of preparing monolithic polyethylene plastics have been shown, the most important of which are based on increasing the adhesive strength of fibres to the binder or by autohesive binding of the fibres.
-- The possibility of preparing organoplastics of various types based on polyethylene fibres with a strength level in extension not less than 1.5 GPa, and elastic modulus up to 90–120 GPa, at a density not over 1100 kg/m3 has been confirmed.
