The project obtained new environmentally safe compositions based on the fallen leaves of renewable plant raw materials, where, for the first time, Styrene and Vinyltriethoxysilane were used as a binder and softening agents. The produced composite materials were based on fallen chador tree leaves of renewable plant raw materials, which meet all the modern requirements with increased physical and mechanical properties, environmental friendliness, easy-making technology. There was researched co-polymerization reaction of Styrene and Vinyltriethoxysilane and their applicability for in-situ co-polymerization of leaf-based composite materials. For the project work were used physical research methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, water absorption, bending strength, impact strangth, thermal stability (Vicat method), thermogravimetric analysis and optical microscopic investigations and scanning electron microscope (SEM).
