Categorization system of nanofillers to polymer composites

Abstract

The paper deals with a systematic categorization of nanofillers in terms of their effect arising upon introduction into polymer composites of tribological applications. The authors study the nature of this effect and the tribological behavior of different types of nanofillers acting in composites and exhibiting either a tribochemical effect or a discrete surface one. Nanofillers having an indirect influence on friction and intercalation compounds are also studied.
