Abstract

The results of cross-sectional microhardness measurements grade binders (compositions I–VII) are presented. Volumetric anisotropy coefficients are calculated, and the correlation between polymer matrix microhardness and the indenter scratch resistance parameter is studied. A comparative analysis of microhardness changes in the height direction of the samples and sclerograms obtained using an ST-01 laboratory scratch tester is conducted. For the low-flammability hot melt adhesive binder (composition VII), the optimal two-stage curing mode is selected, and the degree of polymer conversion is determined.
