Abstract

Разработан новый композиционный материал на основе термоэластопласта для 3D-печати нейтронопоглощающих изделий. Показано,что использование термоэластопласта при разработке материала для 3D-печати изделий позволяетобеспечить требуемые свойства поглощения нейтронов, существенно повысив технологичность композиции и сохранив возможность применять композиции в аддитивных технологиях. Концентрация нитрида борав композите, позволяющая достичь эффекта поглощения материалом нейтронного излучения 2.4Å/1.2 Å (3/1) на глубину проникновения в 1.4 мм, присохранении его физико-механических свойств, составило 25%. Физико-механические характеристики разработанного материалане уступают ненаполненным пластикам: прочность при растяжении σmax = 8.1МПа, сопротивление раздиру составилоTs = 76 Н/м.
