Abstract (English):
In this work, polypropylene meshes were obtained by additive technology and their structure and properties were studied. The grids were printed on a Creality K1 MAX 3D printer with a 0.2 mm nozzle diameter and with OrcaSlicer software. It turned out that when printing small-thickness polypropylene meshes, certain difficulties arise (the printing process is more complicated, the level of adhesion to the printing table and interlayer adhesion is lower, resulting in various defects). As a result of optimizing the printing parameters, it was found that the printing speed in the range of 30-60 mm/s allows for high production speeds while maintaining excellent adhesion between the layers and minimizing the risk of deformation. Printing with a polymer layer height of 0.2 mm in one layer has become optimal. It is shown that the structural parameters of the obtained meshes differ from the specified ones - the average thickness of the meshes, determined using a micrometer, was 0.29 mm, the cell size was 1.2-1.4 mm, and the thickness of the filaments was heterogeneous and amounted to 0.22-0.27 mm. The mechanical properties of the mesh material were judged by the tangential stiffness calculated for the case of medium bending according to the classification of H.M. Mushtari and determined on a special device of the experimental installation using a substrate of thin polypropylene film 0.04 mm thick to ensure tightness in the loading system of the test samples. The tangential stiffness of the resulting polypropylene mesh was 4.18-5.91 kg/cm. Fragments of the test from the beginning to the rupture of the grid are presented - types of the dome formed at various loading pressures. It has been found that polypropylene meshes printed on a 3D printer are characterized by spontaneous polarizability, that is, they are characterized by the presence of a polarization charge in the filaments that persists for a long time. The values of the electret properties of polypropylene meshes on the 20th day of storage (during charge stabilization) were as follows: surface potential - 0.10 kV, effective surface charge density - 0.056 µl/m2, electric field strength - 6.7 kV/m. This allows them to be used, for example, as electret filters, which are known to have a high degree of purification.
