Synergetic effects of surface texturing and solid lubricants to tailor friction and wear – A review (2021, background): “The improved performance has been attributed to the interplay between the polymeric surface, the embedded filler particles, the counter-body (often metallic) and the size of the formed polymeric wear debris [97, 101, 110, 111].”
Mechanistic Studies in Friction and Wear of Bulk Materials (2014, background): “Other polymers exhibit significantly higher friction or wear than UHMWPe under most conditions and require the addition of lubricating or reinforcing fillers (123).”
Ultralow Wear PTFE and Alumina Composites: It is All About Tribochemistry (2015, methodology): “8–10], running films on the surface of the countersurface [8, 11], polymer morphology [2, 4, 13, 14], filler phase, filler size and shape [1, 3, 10, 14], composite dispersion [4], filler reinforcement mechanisms [11, 14], PTFE fibrillation [13, 14], environmental chemistry [5, 7], and countersurface”
Tribological Behavior of UHMWPE Reinforced with Graphene Oxide Nanosheets (2012, background): “slowly with the increasing CNT content [38].”
A review on the importance of nanocomposite processing to enhance electrical insulation (2011, methodology): “The Monte Carlo methods given by [ 20 ] fail to provide indices, and thus are not convenient when a correlation with properties is desired.”
