Abstract
Composite materials consisting of a silicone rubber matrix and particulate synthetic hydrogels were prepared and their mechanical properties were studied. The influence of the size, shape, aggregation of hydrogel particles, chemical reactions of polymer phases on tensile properties and tear strength of the composite materials were investigated. The relations between the properties, structure and chemical composition of polymer phases of the composite materials and their mechanical properties are discussed.
