The tensile strength (MPa), relative elongation at break (%), elastic modulus (MPa) and creep modulus at a stress of 5 MPa were investigated. In this work a new method of plastic deformation with the use of hot rollers is considered, as a result of which composites have a significant increase not only in tensile strength, but also in relative elongation at break, which determines the plasticity of the material, as well as resistance to deformation under static load. To evaluate the performance of the developed composites, the dimensional stability of the samples and changes in physical and mechanical characteristics under thermal cycling in the temperature range from –50 to +50°C were investigated. The coefficients of linear thermal expansion (LTE) of PTFE and composites under heating up to 140°С were also investigated and calculated.

The study demonstrates that the resulting shells on the surface of vaterite particles exhibit pH-sensitive behavior, enabling not only the regulation of the release of the encapsulated compound in different environments but also the stabilization of vaterite particles under simulated body conditions. As a result, alginate facilitates an increase in the zeta potential of particles, ensuring their colloidal stability over time. Furthermore, such shells exhibited the stabilizing effect on the polymorph modification of calcium carbonate particles at neutral pH and a reduction in the dissolution of particles at low pH.
