A study of the tribological behaviour of polyamide 66 with varying injection-moulding parameters

The Friction and Wear Properties of Thermoplastic PA6 Composites Filled with Carbon Fiber

“…Many investigations have shown that the incorporation of fiber reinforcement improved the wear resistance and reduced the coefficient of friction [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Attempts to understand the modifications in the tribological behavior of the polymers with the addition of fillers or fibers reinforcements have been made by many researchers [9,12]. Except for a few exceptions [13], the wear resistance was improved with lower fiber content generally, e.g., GF or CF filled PEN, PEEK, PA, etc.…”

On the sliding wear of nanoparticle filled polyamide 66 composites

“…In order to promote this effort, the current study concentrated on the thermoplastic PA66 matrix composites. PA66 is selected as an important thermoplastic and being widely used in injection moulded components [12][13][14][15], with strong commercial advantages of lower manufacturing cost. The tribological properties of the addition of naonTiO 2 particles, containing short carbon fibre (SCF) and graphite flakes, were studied under various sliding conditions.…”

Engineering Polymers and Composites for Machine Elements

“…Finally it should be noted that surface morphology of polymers, especially for injection-moulded specimens which show a strong skincore effect, is often markedly different from that in the bulk 9 . In all cases there is a surface skin with clearly different spherulite size and a proper analysis of surface effects and their magnitude in relation to wear damage and loading is important.…”
