“…The polymers and their composites find very useful applications in automotive components such as gears, cams, wheels, brakes, clutches, bearings, etc. and also in other engineering applications like conveyor aids, chute liners, power, mining, agriculture and other allied fields [2,3]. Polyamide, as the one in the family of engineering plastics, has the advantages of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, suitable wear resistance and favorable self-lubricating property, has been widely used in the engineering structures [4].…”

The effects of PTFE on the tensile and tribological properties of glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6(PA6) composites were studied. Tribological tests were conducted on an M2000 friction and wear tester using a block-on-ring arrangement. It was observed that the PTFE played a main role in the tensile-resistant and wear-resistant properties of the PA6 composites. The tensile properties were ruled by the fiber–matrix adhesion. And the excellent tribological performance of the PTFE fillers improved the tribological properties of PA6 composites.

“…Surface modified glass-fibres (SMGF) plays a significant role in enhancing mechanical properties of PP matrix through several energy absorbing events such as fibre pull-out, fibre fracture and fibre-bridging 6,7 . The mechanical properties of pure PP and SMGF-PP specimen are presented in Table 1.…”

To improve the interfacial bonding between polypropylene (PP) and glass-fibre (GF), the surface modified glass-fibre (SMGF) was prepared with the self-designed sizing containing organofunctional silanes and a copolymer. Then the SMGF-PP composites were prepared and those properties were observed by mechanical testing, light microscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Mechanical tests displayed that SMGF-PP composites had an increase in tensile strength, tensile modulus, bending strength, bending modulus and notched impact strength compared to the pure PP. Light micrographs showed that the average fibre length of the composite was 397 μm. XRD data indicated that the crystal size of SMGF-PP composites became smaller compared to pure PP, and β form crystals of PP disappeared with the addition of SMGF to PP matrix. DSC data showed that SMGF could promote the crystallization temperature of PP. TGA analyses showed that the thermal stability of SMGF-PP was better than that of pure PP.

“…Polymer composites for engineering applications are mainly limited by several factors pertaining to the resin such as low modulus of the matrix, extreme notch sensitivity and poor thermal resistance. 7 By utilizing the large surface-to-volume and aspect ratios of nanolayers, significant improvements in mechanical, physical, optical and thermal properties are achieved in polymer nanocomposites, leading to many potential applications in automotive and structural fields. Nonetheless, these materials often sustain low fracture toughness restricting their widespread usage.…”

Maleic anhydride–grafted high-density polyethylene (HDPE; PE-g-MAH) was used to fill the interphase layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composites. The mechanical, friction and wear properties of SiO2/PMMA/HDPE composites were investigated on a ring-on-ring friction and wear tester with AISI 1045 steel metallic ring counterface under dry friction conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to study the worn surfaces of PMMA composites. Experimental results showed that the addition of HDPE decreased the friction coefficient of SiO2/PMMA composites slightly and reduced the wear volume loss of the PMMA composites obviously. SEM studies indicated that the addition of HDPE could reduce the abrasive wear of SiO2/PMMA composites. The dispersion of SiO2 in PMMA composites was also improved.
