Currently, Yuzhnoye uses carbon-plastic as a material for manufacturing of our products, which is based
on carbon fiber and epoxy resin. It is known that properties of carbon-plastic are depended to a great
extent on adhesion strength of the “filler-resin” phase interface.

MODDCOMP project is intended to develop different methods of improving and modifying both filler
and resin. One of the filler modifying methods is active screen plasma treatment of different modes
(ASP1, ASP2, ASPAr5, ASPN5), which were developed in University of Birmingham. Resin modifying meth-
ods is injection of nano-particles (masterbatch and nano-diamonds).

Yuzhnoye performed studies of treated filler (carbon-fiber ???-40) mechanical properties characteriza-
tion and resin (Araldite LY556/Aradur 917/ Accelerator DY070) with nano-particles (figure 1).
