The tribological models of the PTFE sliding against Copper (Cu) layer under dry friction and
water lubrication were developed by a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to examine the …

Unsaturated polyester is a material with easy fabrication technique, light weight, good
resistance into corrosive media, and low cost [1, 2]. Moreover, unsaturated polyester is part …

Some polymers show low thermal properties which can be improved by adding various
types of materials. Using nanoparticles, an enhancement of thermal properties can be …

Improvement of the mechanical and electrical properties of polymer composites can be
achieved by an increased MWCNTs–matrix interfacial bond [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 38]. This is one of …

Graphene oxide and graphite filled polyester composites were prepared by using
conventional melt-mixing methods in order to improve tribological performance of polyester …

Wear behavior of polyphenylene sulphide composites was investigated according to load
and test speed. Two types of materials were studied: first, with 40 wt% glass fiber, and …

Graphenes have aroused great interest among the scientists lately, due to their special
physical properties which are supposed to be transferred to composite materials [1, 2, 3, 6] …

The effects of friction on polymeric materials are quite difficult to explain due to the micro and
macroscopic interactions of the friction coupling surfaces, which slide over each other. The …

A new class of polyester nanocomposites with graphene oxide and graphite has been
obtained through a specific chemical method. Aiming to assess the tribological performance …

Performance evaluation of the polyester composites with added carbon nanotubes is
presented herein, based on the results of compressive tests. Composites were obtained …
