abstract The desire to obtain unique properties of polymer materials and the ever growing competition in the plastics market have a direct impact on the intensification of research in materials science. This article regards innovative proposals to modify polymeric material (epoxy resin) to obtain new products (composites) with improved properties. The mechanical and chemical properties of composite materials based on epoxy resins modified with synthetic polysulfide rubber were determined. Moreover the effect of adding industrial waste (glass powder) on the structure and performance of the composites was estimated. The physical and mechanical properties of the composites as well as their chemical resistance to aggressive environments were determined. One of the applications for the innovative composite materials is to use them as a protective material, e.g. in construction for lightweight concrete.
