A high performance engineering polymer, polyetherimide (PEI) and its two composites, one containing only short glass fibers (GF) 20% and the other, commercially established bearing material containing 25% GF and three solid ...

A series of polyamides (PAs), namely, PA 6, PA 66, PA 66/610, PA 11, PA 12 and aromatic PA (brittle, hard and amorphous) was selected for investigating the effect of chemical structure and hence, mechanical properties on ...

The oscillating wear failure of the materials is frequently observed in various tribo-applications such as bearings, gears, bushes, palliatives, bolted and riveted joints and seals, etc. where oscillations of small amplitude ...

The paper deals with the abrasive wear investigations on various composites of phenolic resin filled with alumina powder and abraded against silicon carbide paper under dry and single pass condition. The data analysis was ...

Polyethersulphone (PES), is an amorphous, brittle and high temperature engineering thermoplastic. Two composites of PES containing short glass fibres (GF) and solid lubricants viz. PTFE and MoS2; and two composites containing ...
