Improvement of the wear resistance and energy efficiency of heavy-loaded metal-polymer transport tribosystems

Abstract

Abstract The article describes the phenomena of electrification, and their effect on the processes of diffusion of polymer degradation products into metal surfaces in metal-polymer tribosystems, as well as the formation of secondary structures during friction. New methods of measuring tribo IV (tribo Internal Voltage) and the results of studies of various groups of materials are presented. The conducted studies made it possible, by combining multipolar polymer materials from fillers and nanoscale additives in the composite, to increase the wear resistance of heavily loaded metal-polymer tribosystems. For metal surfaces it was carried out by friction delivery of reinforcing elements to their surface layers, for polymer composites it was based on the developed technology of their modification, the formation of secondary surface structures in the process of metal-polymer friction was carried out.
