New Composite Materials Based on Cured Emulsions of UV Photopolymers

The technological foundations for creating new composite materials based on solid emulsions of UV photopolymers are considered. Samples of photopolymer composites with artificial porosity, representing solid emulsions based on photopolymer resin and various liquids and colloidal solutions, have been obtained. The work develops methods for synthesis and formation of artificial porous structures, methods for controlling pore morphology, and approaches to filling pores with active liquid phases. Mechanisms for controlling the electrodynamic parameters of such materials are examined, as well as methods for their diagnostics in a wide frequency range. The electrophysical characteristics of the composites in the low-frequency and microwave ranges are investigated. It is shown that the features of the frequency dispersion of the dielectric parameters of the samples are influenced by the presence of a liquid phase in the pores of the composite. The obtained type of composite materials is promising for the development of next-generation acoustic and electrodynamic media with controllable parameters (acoustic impedance, dielectric susceptibility, polarizability, magnetization, attenuation for different types of acoustic and electromagnetic waves). The developed technologies may find practical application in the creation of new functional materials that can be effectively used in the fabrication of metamaterials with unique properties, tunable over a wide frequency range for radio engineering modules, as well as in adaptive electrodynamic and acoustic systems.
