Synthesis and dry sliding behavior of composite coating with (R–OOO)FT polyimide matrix and tungsten disulfide nanoparticle filler

Abstract

The synthesis of a composite coating with an (R–OOO)FT polyimide matrix is described and results of studying the tribological behavior of this coating are presented. Spherical 40-nm tungsten disulfide nanoparticles produced using gas-phase synthesis are used as a filler.
