Influence of the type quantity of fillers on the abrasive wear of composite materials

Abrasive wear is one of the most common failure mechanisms of moving machine parts. Due to their high mechanical properties, polymer composites can replace metal parts in some applications (e.g. bearings). More and more new polymer composites are becoming available and the data on their performance properties are still researched not enough. As a result of the study, it was found that the addition of filler allows to reduce abrasive wear of samples by 56.8%.
