The mechanical and tribological properties of various injection-moulded polyaryletherketones (PAEKs) and their composites are presented in this paper. The mechanical properties studied were tensile strength, tensile modulus, ...

Polyamides (PAs) form a major class of tribo-polymers used in almost all types of wear situations. They excel most of the engineering polymers especially in the case of abrasive wear performance. Since methylene (---CH2---) ...

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 ...
