Popis: This article discusses the concept of biodeterioration of polymeric composite materials. The main criteria for assessing the biostability of materials and a review of methods for their determination are given. The results of experimental studies of the biostability of composites based on epoxy polymers with various compositions and the biostability of several types of fillers by the soil method are presented. Starch was used as an organic filler, and graphite and aluminum powder were used as inorganic fillers. It is shown that a significant decrease in the biostability is determined not only by the presence of starch as a filler in the composite, but also by the composition of the epoxy polymer.
