Study on the synergistic effect of carbon fiber and graphite and nanoparticle on the friction and wear behavior of polyimide composites (2010, background): “Moreover, proper nanofillers contribute positively towards the development of a thin and uniform transfer film and the better adhesion of transfer film to the counterpart during sliding [19,20], which play a crucial role in the enhancement of wear resistance [21].”
Wear mechanism in automotive brake materials, wear debris and its potential environmental impact (2009, neutral): “It is necessary to note that the friction layer is called “friction film” by several authors [17, 18, 19], and it was also described as “transfer layer” [20, 21], “transfer film” [22], “third body” layer [17, 23], “tribo-layer” [2], “tribofilm” [24], “mechanically mixed layer” (MML) [25], and as “fi”
Enhancement effect of nanoparticles on the sliding wear of short fiber-reinforced polymer composites: A critical discussion of wear mechanisms (2010, background): “The continuous transfer film formed during the running-in stage is mainly composed of worn matrix material and can effectively reduce the ‘direct contact’ of the composite with asperities of the hard metallic counterface [18–20].”
