Abstract

Kompoziti su materijali koji su lakši, a snažniji od čelika; danas još uvijek najkorištenijeg
materijala u industriji. Kompozitni materijali raspolažu mnogobrojnim pogodnim svojstvima,
koja konvencionalni materijali nemaju. Industrija kompozita je jedna od najbrže rastućih
industrija ovog stoljeća, upravo zbog specifičnih svojstva koja se njihovom proizvodnjom
mogu postići. Kako je upravo zbog krize uzrokovane pandemijom bolesti COVID-19 uslijedio
nagli pad industrijske proizvodnje u svijetu, pa tako i u Hrvatskoj, ovaj diplomski rad će se
posvetiti istraživanju utjecanja krize na tržište materijala potrebnih za proizvodnju kompozitnih
tvorevina, te na tržište proizvoda. Također, porastom emisije štetnih plinova, Program održivog
razvoja UN-a ima kao osnovni cilj osigurati održivo korištenje prirodnih izvora na nacionalnoj
i međunarodnoj razini, gdje kompozitni materijali mogu pronaći svoje mjesto, upravo zbog
postizanja svojstva koja se monolitnim i konvencionalnim materijalima ne mogu. Krajnji cilj je
prikupljanje informacija o budućnosti proizvodnje ovih materijala, te njihovom doprinosu
programu održivog razvoja, kao i istraživanju utjecaja pandemije bolesti na njihovu
proizvodnju.

Abstract (english)

Composites are materials that are lighter and stronger than steel; today still the most used
material in the industry. Composite materials have many beneficial properties, which
conventional materials do not have. The composite industry is one of the fastest growing
industries of this century, precisely because of the specific properties that can be achieved with
their production. Due to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a sharp decline
in industrial production in the world, including in Croatia, so this thesis will focus on the impact
of the crisis on the market of materials needed for the production of composites and the product
market. Also, because of increasing emissions, the UN Sustainable Development Program aims
to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources nationally and internationally, where
composite materials can find their place, precisely by achieving properties that monolithic and
conventional materials cannot. The ultimate goal is to gather information on the future of the
production of these materials, and their contribution to the sustainable development program,
as well as to research the impact of the pandemic on their production.
