The search for innovative solutions for the reuse of solid residues has intensified with growing environmental issues and the increasing cost of most raw materials, leading to the design of eco-friendly composite materials, such as wood-plastic composites (WPCs). These materials combine the stability of wood fibres with the durability of plastic, allowing for a wide range of applications, whilst simultaneously offering the possibility of utilising waste products from the forest/wood industry and recycled plastic. Waste products that otherwise incur cost for disposal therefore become a sustainable material resource for new products. Natural fibres offer a number of advantages over synthetic fibres and are seen as a ''green'' alternative to other reinforcements. Commonly, the fibrematrix adhesion in WPCs is improved by using compatibilisers that bond to the polar wood fibres and the non-polar polymer matrix. However, the problem with these is that good dispersion is not always achieved as it depends on the adhesion properties of three individual components in the WPC, which might lead to poor mechanical properties of the WPC. The ability of the atomic force microscope (AFM) to create 3D images of topography and various interaction forces with molecular resolution made it a valuable tool for the analysis of adhesion properties in WPCs.

“…The widespread use of polytetrafluoroethylene composites in friction units and seals of various kinds of machinery and equipment is due to features of the molecular and supramolecular structure of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which ensure the implementation of a unique combination of deformation and strength, tribotechnical, anticorrosive, thermophysical, and other service characteristics, and determine the efficient use of these products [1]. For decades, fillers have been successfully used to reduce the wear of PTFE.…”

The results of the investigations into the technological formation of new wear-resistant polymer composites based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filled with disperse synthetic and natural compounds are presented. The efficiency of using PTFE composites reinforced with carbon fibers depends on many factors, which influence the significant improvement of physicomechanical characteristics. The results of this research allow stating that interfacial and surface phenomena of the polymer–solid interface and composition play a decisive role in PTFE composites properties. Fillers hinder the relative movement of the PTFE molecules past one another and, in this way, reduce creep or deformation of the parts, reducing the wear rate of parts used in dynamic applications as well as the coefficient of thermal expansion. The necessary structural parameters of such polymer composites are provided by regimes of process equipment.
