“…Similar RSresults were obtained previously after ball milling of magnetitegraphite blends [30], and at the surface of brake discs [31]. The higher G/D peak intensity ratio of the present study compared to the previous ones may be attributed to the presence of graphite nanoparticles revealed by high resolution imaging of stacks of graphene planes in the tribofilms produced by the hybrid nanocomposites, which also contained 8 vol% of well-crystallized graphite [4].…”

“…Theoretically, all ingredients of the pad formulation or their chemical reaction products should be homogeneously mixed on the nanometer scale, provided the original ingredients are prone to nanostructure formation by mechanical processes like severe shear deformation or impact during particle collisions. The latter can be checked by ball milling experiments, as proved by several papers [70,[79][80][81]. A special mechanism of nanostructure formation is tribooxidation of the cast iron disc providing the major constituent of the third body.…”
