Abstract:

The paper provides an overview of mechanical properties the cast polymer composite materials. The polymer composite materials are modern materials respectively advanced composites. The paper presents and explains the most common manufacturing method used, with a brief review on design possibilities in interior environments. The products of these materials are used for equipping the interior environment – kitchen, bathroom, laboratory, etc. It is chemical – resistant materials. Cast polymer composite materials are used for fabricating products that are reliable and meet almost all design criteria, some of the designs solutions are presented in the paper. Modern composites become competitors due to the possibility of modeling different design products. Further research of these materials is carried out in order to improve their mechanical properties.

Keywords:

Cast polymer composite materials, mechanical properties, manufacturing process, interior environments, design
