Metal–polymer tribosystems: Basic recommendations for creating composites

Аннотация

The interconnection of triboelectric, segregation-diffusion and tribochemical processes at metal–polymer contact area have been revealed. A system approach allows the methods for control of friction properties of metal–polymer friction assemblies to be developed. These methods are based on data that describe the effect of the triboelectric field on diffusion processes in metal–polymer tribosystems and the formation of friction transfer film. The formation of the transfer film has been studied by IR-spectroscopy, and element content on the grain boundaries–by Auger-spectroscopy.
