Nanotechnology opens up new horizons in the field of material science. A peculiar direction of nanotechnology is the investigation, elaboration and application of polymer materials modified with carbon nanostructures.

This work is aimed at the development of new composite materials based on thermo-resistant aromatic polyamide phenilon C-2 (FS-2).

In order to improve the characteristics of the initial material, fullerene С₆₀, fullerene soot (FS), fullerene black (FB) were used as fillers. The content of fillers in compositions made 3 mass %.

The technique of obtaining the composites consists in mixing the press-composition within the rotating electromagnetic field with the further treatment into the goods by means of compression moulding.

The results of the investigations held showed that introducing fullerene С₆₀, FS, FB into the structure of composites increases the thermo-resistance of nanocomposites by 10-15 degrees, decreases the coefficient of friction by 1.1-1.7 times and wear by 1.2 time, while leading to the improvement of strength properties.

As for the heat capacity of the elaborated composites, it increases monotonously within the investigated range of temperatures (173-548°К) until the vitrification temperature, after which it decreases rapidly. The average values of heat capacity of the composites and the initial polymer can be put into the following row:

FS-2+3%FB(1,46)>FS-2+3%С₆₀(1,43)>FS-2(1,38)>FS-2+3%FS(1,32kJ/kg·К).

The obtained results allow considering the elaborated composites as the promising materials with the improved characteristics, which can be applied in machine engineering field.
