Effect of Exposure to Microwave Radiation on Mechanical and Structural Characteristics of Plastic Based on High Molecular Technical Polymer Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene

The effect of microwave monitoring of the development and mechanical characteristics of poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) plastic has been studied, and the calculated effect of microwave absorption measurement has been carried out. It is shown that with the desire to develop the microwave development of the ability to deform almost twice from 1.2 % for the original sample to 2.7 % for the sample exposed to microwave radiation, i.e. the material becomes more flexible. At values of thermal energy of microwave radiation absorbed by poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) plastic from 0 to 750 · 108 J/m3, the rupture stress gradually decreases and, with a further increase to 1560 · 108 J/m3, increases to practically the values for the original sample. An assumption is made that microwave radiation leads to a change in the structure and mechanical characteristics of the material under study as a result of exposure to oxygen from the air.
