“…2), included in a system BRUKER-CETR ® .UTM 2 [21,22] with the parameters: sliding speed (0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 m/s), load (5, 10, 15 and 30 N) and the sliding distance of 5,000 m [23,24]. The speed of 0.5 m/s is the most used by producers of polymeric materials, for evaluating tribological properties [3].…”

“…The melt process is taking place in a very thin layer but now, it could be easier detached or spread on the surface. When this mechanism is prevailing, the type of material loss is named 'melting wear' [3]. Also, the transfer of polymer could be intensified.…”

“…Researchers have been focused on tribology of polymer composites and blends because friction couples with at least one element made of polymeric materials could have better behavior as compared to "classical" pair of materials, here including metal-metal contacts [1][2][3]. Tribological characteristics of polymers are improved by adding reinforcements (short fibers [4], nano and micro particles [5], made of metallic or ceramic materials [6][7][8]), solid lubricants, flame retardants etc.…”

“…Polymers play a very important part in mechanical and materials engineering, not just because they are easy to manufacture and their per unit cost is low, but also for their excellent tribological performance in engineered forms [1]. In the bulk or pristine form, only a few polymers would satisfy most of the tribological requirements; however, in their hybrid and composite forms, polymers often have the advantage of low weight and corrosion resistant over other materials such as metals and ceramics [1].…”

Tribological applications of polymers include gears [2], a range of bearings [3], artificial human joint bearing surfaces [4], bearing materials for space applications [5], tires, shoe soles, automobile brake pads, non-stick frying pans, floorings, and various types of surfaces for optimum tactile properties, such as fibers [6].…”

Tribological response of an epoxy matrix filled with graphite and/or carbon nanotubes

Reinforced polymer-matrix composites are widely used under sliding contact conditions in various boating and automotive applications. In this paper, the friction and wear of bulk epoxy and carbon filler reinforced epoxy composites have been investigated using a pin-on-disc tribometer. The effect of different fillers on the tribological behavior of an epoxy has been studied using treated and untreated carbon nanotubes, graphite, and a mixture of graphite and carbon nanotubes. Filler addition greatly enhances the tribological properties of the epoxy resin, by reducing the friction coefficient and the wear rate. In addition, it was found that the treated carbon nanotubes/epoxy composites have the best tribological behavior. Moreover, a correlation between contact temperature and friction coefficient is reported. Finally, the wear mechanisms were determined by scanning electronic microscopy.

This chapter provides an up‐to‐date review of the current understanding in the area of mechanical damage and wear of polymer surfaces. Wear is explained by the two‐term friction model and classified as the interfacial (adhesive) wear and the cohesive (abrasive) wear. Further, distinction is made between other mechanisms that may occur in concurrence with the above two types. Two important such mechanisms are the chemical wear and the fatigue wear. Complexities associated with the microscopic events such as the stick‐slip phenomenon and with the lubrication aspect of polymers are also highlighted. Finally, a short review of the wear process encountered in the case of polymer composites is presented as composites have become the most popular and economic way of solving many of the industrial tribolgical problems where polymers are involved.
