What is it about?
Epoxy resin is widely used in different industries. It improves operational characteristics, simplicity of formation and economic efficiency. Also polyester resin has good properties and is use for protect ship hulls. To make a new material we dicided to connect in one matrix the better properties of both of this materials.

Why is it important?
We defined the optimal concentration of the components of composite material. This is important for sea people (sailors) that don't have enough time for study properties of material. They can use developed materials in the dock and in the working condition on the vessels for repairs ship mechanisms. This materials you can formed without special conditions (manufacturing equipments, specific working place, etc.).
Perspectives
I think that developed materials will help to increase the working time of ship hulls and equipments. Because ship staying in dock for repairs is expensive.
