Experimental compositions of coatings based on SiO₂–Al₂O₃–MgO matrix glass and modifying additives are considered. A number of refractory metal oxides were selected as modifying additives. The influence of these additives on the properties of the coating melt, such as the spreadability and the wetting edge angle, as well as the oxidability of the resulting compositions, is studied. It was found that the experimental coating modified with aluminum oxide has the best protective properties. The introduction of modifying additives in quantities of more than 5 % is considered inappropriate.

The question of the quality of samples made of polymer composite materials and its verification by x-ray computed tomography is considered. The capabilities of North Star Imaging X5000 tomograph were studied and the samples from PCM were examined for detection and evaluation of the porosity volume fraction. The factors influencing the accuracy of the estimation of the porosity volume fraction are investigated. Namely the size voxel, a filter material, quantity of projections. On the other hand, the size вокселя defines resolution of the digital image, the relation depends on a material of the applied filter a signal/noise, productivity of control worsens with growth of quantity of projections. The choice of optimum values of the listed parametres is necessary for satisfactory quality received tomographic images.

In this work has been investigated the climatic resistance of carbon and fiberglass polymers for aviation purposes based on solvent-free binders VST-1208, VSE-1212, VSR-3M after 3 years of exposure of these materials in the moderate cold climate of Moscow and the moderate warm climate of Gelendzhik. The effect of destruction, post curing, plasticization of binders on the compressive and flexural strengths of carbon plastics VKU-27L, VKU-39, VKU-46 and fiberglass plastics VPS-47/7781, VPS-48/778 was determined using the methods of profilometry, moisture transfer and dynamic mechanical analysis. It is shown that while determining the state of PCM after climatic exposure, it is necessary to take into account the effects of the reversible plasticizing action of moisture.
