description The aim of the research presented in the paper was to obtain new polymer composites with strong functional properties on the Epidian 5 epoxy resin matrix. The polymer composites contained admixtures of expanded graphite, powder graphite, birch bark containing botulin, and yellow dextrin in set amounts of 20% by weight. Their various mechanical parameters and physicochemical properties were investigated. The research involved determining the effect of a constant magnetic field with magnetic induction B, under the influence of which the parameters and properties of polymer composites have been changed. For example, in a constant magnetic field with an induction of B = 0.5 T there was an increase in the hardness of the composite with an admixture of birch bark from 24.01 to 26.96 N/mm<sup>2</sup> (12.3%), or in the composite with the addition of yellow dextrin from 26.12 to 29.93 N/mm<sup>2</sup> (14.6%). It was also found, for example, that the water absorption of the resin itself decreased from 0.18% to 0.13%, and the composite with graphite powder from 0.48% to 0.46%. Changes in these parameters, often beneficial, may be important in terms of potential application of those new materials in industry as alternatives.
